Simulation study on the gap flow field of ultrasonic-assisted electrical discharge machining for ball socket structure

  • 摘要: 铍铜球窝结构在惯导系统中具有重要应用,其加工精度直接影响设备性能,但在电火花加工过程中产生的电蚀颗粒会影响球窝结构精度。电蚀颗粒的及时排出成为电火花加工球窝结构的难点。本研究基于COMSOL软件,建立了电火花加工球窝结构的流场仿真模型,分析了不同超声振动参数下电介质流动及电蚀颗粒的运动规律。研究发现,无超声振动时,加工间隙易出现涡流,导致电介质速度不均、电蚀颗粒堆积现象。超声振动显著提升了电介质的流动性,促进了电蚀颗粒的排出。超声振动条件下,加工间隙中剩余电蚀颗粒比例由无超声振动的45.76%降至4.93%。此外,超声振动频率和振幅对颗粒排出有明显影响,较高的振动频率和适中的振动幅值有助于改善加工环境,提高加工精度。仿真结果为优化工艺参数提供理论支持,有助于提高铍铜合金球窝结构加工效率和精度。

     

    Abstract: Beryllium copper ball socket structure has an important application in the inertial navigation system, and its machining accuracy directly affects the performance of the equipment, but the discharge particles generated during the electrical discharge machining (EDM) process will affect the accuracy of the ball socket structure. The timely expulsion of discharge particles poses a significant challenge in the EDM of ball socket structure. In this study, based on COMSOL software, the flow field simulation model of EDM ball socket structure was established, and the transport mechanism of dielectric flow and discharge particles were analyzed under different ultrasonic vibration parameters. It is found that without ultrasonic vibration, the machining gap is prone to eddy currents, which leads to uneven dielectric velocity and the phenomenon of accumulation of discharge particles. Ultrasonic vibration significantly enhanced the flow of the dielectric and promoted the expulsion of the discharge particles. Under the ultrasonic vibration condition, the proportion of remaining discharge particles in the machining gap decreased significantly from 45.76% without ultrasonic vibration to 4.93%. In addition, the ultrasonic vibration frequency and amplitude have obvious effects on discharge particle expulsion, and higher vibration frequency and moderate vibration amplitude help to improve the machining environment and improve the machining accuracy. The simulation results provide theoretical support for optimization of process parameters, which helps to improve the machining efficiency and precision for beryllium copper alloy ball socket structure.
