Study on Self-Learning System for Milling Chatter Feature Based on Hybrid Preprocessing Model and Improved Convolutional Clustering

Milling chatter is a self-excited vibration phenomenon during the cutting process, typically occurring in machining operations with lower stiffness. It significantly impacts the machining precision and surface morphology of the workpiece. To summarize the vibration signal features under operating conditions and enhance the precision of the intelligent recognition model for milling chatter features, this paper proposes an adaptive learning model for chatter feature recognition based on the improved convolutional clustering algorithm. This study uses wavelet analysis to extract chatter features and improved convolutional clustering to identify chatter and stable cutting signals. This method selected appropriate mapping techniques based on differences in chatter signals under various conditions and uses convolution for feature extraction. Improve convolutional clustering evaluates sample similarity through energy transfer, less influenced by signal space structure compared to Euclidean or Mahalanobis distances. This method provides a unified criterion for evaluating different signal feature representation spaces, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of chatter sample recognition. The recognition accuracy of chatter phenomena at different spindle speed ranges reaches $95$ % and $96.3$ % respectively. The results show that this method can effectively distinguish between chatter signals and stable cutting signals.
