In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0048] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of the present invention, a composite hot drilling method is provided. Hot melt drilling can process a bushing through hole. The bushing through hole can extend the tapping distance and enhance the firmness of the threaded connection between the workpieces 200. The composite hot drilling method of the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0049] The laser 100 is located below the workpiece 200, and the drill 300 is located above the workpiece 200; first, the laser 100 is controlled to irradiate the laser beam to the position to be drilled of the workpiece 200. The laser beam has a high energy density and can soften the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200 in a short time and reach the plastic deformation temperature, thereby completing the preheating of the workpiece 200; after the preheating of the workpiece 200 is completed, the ultrasonic vibration module 500 controls the drill 300 to perform ultrasonic vibration and rotation, so that the drill 300 drills the workpiece 200.

[0050] Figure 2 Figures (a), (b), and (c) in the figure respectively show schematic diagrams of the drill 300 just contacting the upper surface of the workpiece 200, the drill 300 having drilled into the interior of the workpiece 200, and the drill 300 drilling through the workpiece 200 to form a bushing through hole. By first softening the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200, the resistance of drilling is reduced, the machinability of the workpiece 200 is improved, and the tool breakage caused by excessive resistance during drilling is avoided. In addition, since the laser 100 and the drill 300 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the workpiece 200, the laser 100 irradiates the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200 from bottom to top, and the drill 300 drills the workpiece 200 from top to bottom, when the laser 100 irradiates the laser beam to the workpiece 200, the drill 300 avoids the laser beam, and the laser beam will not irradiate the drill 300, which can reduce the influence of laser irradiation on the drill 300 and improve the service life of the drill 300.

[0051] It should be noted that in the process of traditional hot melt drilling, debris is easily adhered to the drill bit 300, which wears the tool, and the drill bit 300 and the workpiece 200 generate high friction heat to soften the material. When the temperature is not high, the tool is easily stuck and locked, which aggravates the wear of the drill bit 300 and affects the tool life. In the present invention, the laser beam is used to soften the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200 in advance, and there is no need for friction heat generation between the drill bit 300 and the workpiece 200, which can reduce the wear of the drill bit 300 during the drilling process and reduce the risk of sticking and locking the tool; and the drill bit 300 is always affected by the ultrasonic vibration module 500 during the drilling process, and is in a high-frequency ultrasonic vibration state and continuously rotates. On the one hand, ultrasonic vibration can improve the rigidity of the entire drilling system, make the drilling process more stable, and can improve the deformation limit of the workpiece 200 material, change the product processing quality, and on the other hand, it is convenient for chip removal, avoids the adhesion or breakage of the drill bit 300 and the workpiece 200, and prolongs the tool life. In addition, the diameter range of the drilling hole can be expanded so that the method can meet the requirements of drilling holes with small diameters.

[0052] In addition, in the traditional drilling method, the laser and the tool are set on the same side of the workpiece 200, which not only causes the laser beam to irradiate the tool during the drilling process, causing tool damage, but if the material of the workpiece 200 is relatively hard, the irradiation temperature of the laser 100 is relatively high, which will directly cause the tool to be melted through. In addition, when the tool is gradually fed, there is also a risk of collision with the laser 100, resulting in interruption of the drilling process. In addition, in order to enable the tool to feed perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece 200 and form a vertical borehole, the laser 100 must irradiate the laser beam to the workpiece 200 at an inclined incident angle to avoid the tool, and the heat of the inclined laser beam is not concentrated, and the heating efficiency is low, which affects the drilling efficiency. In the present invention, the laser 100 is arranged below the workpiece 200, and the drill 300 is arranged above the workpiece 200. On the one hand, the laser beam will not irradiate the drill 300, which can extend the service life of the drill 300. On the other hand, the irradiation direction of the laser beam is not affected by the tool feed path, so the laser beam can be irradiated perpendicular to the surface of the workpiece 200, so that the light spot is concentrated on the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200. The processing efficiency of the laser 100 is high and the drilling efficiency can be improved.

[0053] In one embodiment, the central axis of the laser beam is coaxial with the central axis of the hole to be drilled in the workpiece 200, so that the spot of the laser beam is as close to the center position of the hole to be drilled as possible, and the laser 100 can heat the workpiece 200 with the maximum energy density, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the laser 100; it is understandable that the central axis of the hole to be drilled should be coaxial with the central axis of the drill 300. By setting the central axis of the laser beam to be coaxial with the central axis of the hole to be drilled in the workpiece 200, the laser beam can always avoid the tool before the drill 300 drills through the workpiece 200, thereby preventing the laser beam from directly irradiating the tool and causing damage to the tool.

[0054] In another embodiment, referring to Figure 3 The spot diameter of the laser beam emitted by the laser 100 is R1, the diameter of the hole to be drilled in the workpiece 200 is R2, and the spot diameter and the diameter of the hole to be drilled satisfy: R2<R1<2R2, so that the spot diameter of the laser beam irradiated on the surface of the workpiece 200 exceeds the diameter of the hole to be drilled, and the area to be drilled in the workpiece 200 can be softened by laser irradiation, and the spot center of the laser beam is maximized to be close to the center position of the hole to be drilled, and the area to be drilled is within the high energy range of the laser beam, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the laser 100.

[0055] In one embodiment, the distance between the upper end of the laser 100 and the lower end of the workpiece 200 is set to 20 mm-100 mm, so that the laser beam can stably and reliably continue to irradiate the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200, and can ensure that the high-energy area of ​​the laser beam is irradiated on the workpiece 200, thereby improving the heating efficiency of the laser 100 on the workpiece 200.

[0056] It is understandable that, since the laser 100 irradiates the workpiece 200 from bottom to top, the heating rate of the lower part of the workpiece 200 is higher than the heating rate of the upper part of the workpiece 200. In one embodiment, when the temperature of the upper part of the workpiece 200 meets the drilling requirement, the preheating of the workpiece 200 is completed, and the laser 100 is turned off at this time, and the laser 100 stops irradiating the laser beam to the workpiece 200, and then the drill 300 is controlled to support the drilling of the workpiece 200 until the workpiece 200 is completely drilled through; on the one hand, when the temperature of the upper part of the workpiece 200 meets the drilling requirement, the lower part of the workpiece 200 will inevitably meet the drilling requirement, and any area in the drilling height direction has been softened, and the drill 300 is processed to any area. When the depth is greater than 100, less resistance can be encountered, which is convenient for processing and can extend the life of the tool. Moreover, after the workpiece 200 is preheated, the temperature of the workpiece 200 gradually decreases from bottom to top. During the processing of the drill 300, the temperature of the workpiece 200 gradually decreases over time. When the drill 300 processes to the lower area of ​​the workpiece 200, the temperature of the lower area of ​​the workpiece 200 has been reduced, which can reduce the risk of damage to the tool due to heat accumulation in the hole caused by the deeper drilling depth. On the other hand, since the laser 100 is turned off before the drill 300 drills through the workpiece 200, the drill 300 will not be irradiated by the laser beam after drilling through the workpiece 200, which will affect the performance of the tool itself.

[0057] In another embodiment, after the laser 100 completes preheating of the workpiece 200, the laser 100 is maintained in the irradiation state of the workpiece 200, so that the drill 300 can drill the workpiece 200 synchronously. In this case, since the drill 300 drills from top to bottom, when the drill 300 processes the upper area of ​​the workpiece 200, the depth of the hole is small, and the resistance of the drill 300 is small. The laser 100 preheats the workpiece 200 for a short period of time to meet the processing requirements of the upper area. At this time, the preheating of the workpiece 200 has been completed, and the drill 300 can immediately perform drilling processing on the workpiece 200, and the processing efficiency is high; during the processing of the drill 300, the laser 100 is maintained in the irradiation state of the workpiece 200. On the one hand, it is prevented that the workpiece 200 is cooled down quickly after the laser beam is withdrawn, resulting in a significant increase in processing resistance. On the other hand, the laser beam continues to heat the workpiece 200, so that the workpiece 200 continues to heat up and soften, and reaches the processing temperature required for the corresponding drilling depth, thereby improving the processing quality.

[0058] Furthermore, after the workpiece 200 is preheated, the laser 100 is kept irradiating the workpiece 200, and the drill 300 is synchronously used to drill the workpiece 200. When the drill 300 drills to a preset depth, the laser 100 is turned off, and then the drill 300 is controlled to continue drilling until the workpiece 200 is drilled through. On the one hand, the greater the depth of the hole, the more heat is accumulated in the hole. By turning off the laser 100 in advance, it is possible to avoid the continuous heating of the workpiece 200 after drilling to a certain depth, resulting in heat accumulation in the hole and affecting the service life of the drill 300. On the other hand, it is possible to avoid the drill 300 being directly irradiated by the laser beam after drilling through the workpiece 200, thereby affecting the tool performance and life.

[0059] Alternatively, in another embodiment, after the workpiece 200 is preheated, the laser 100 is maintained in the irradiation state of the workpiece 200, and the drill 300 is synchronously used to drill the workpiece 200. When the drill 300 drills to a preset depth, the power of the laser 100 is continuously reduced until the drill 300 drills through the workpiece 200. By reducing the power of the laser 100, the heating rate of the workpiece 200 can be reduced, and the temperature of the workpiece 200 is prevented from being too high, resulting in heat accumulation in the hole and affecting the service life of the drill 300. In addition, during the processing of the workpiece 200 by the drill 300, the workpiece 200 is continuously irradiated by the laser beam, so that all parts of the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200 are kept in a softened state, which is conducive to improving the processing quality and processing efficiency. In addition, it can be further arranged that when the drill 300 drills through the workpiece 200, the laser 100 is turned off to prevent the laser 100 from directly irradiating the drill 300 and causing tool damage.

[0060] For the processing method of "after the workpiece 200 is preheated, the laser 100 is kept irradiating the workpiece 200, and the drill 300 is synchronously used to drill the workpiece 200, and when the drill 300 drills to a preset depth, the laser 100 is turned off, and then the drill 300 is controlled to continue drilling until the workpiece 200 is drilled through", the total working time of the drill 300 is T, the time for the laser 100 to preheat the workpiece 200 is T1, the time for the drill 300 and the laser 100 to work simultaneously is T2, and the time for the drill 300 to work alone is T3. It should be noted that the “time when the drill 300 and the laser 100 work simultaneously” refers to the time when, after the workpiece 200 is preheated, the drill 300 performs drilling synchronously while the laser 100 continues to irradiate the workpiece 200, and the “time when the drill 300 works alone” refers to the time required for the drill 300 to drill through the workpiece 200 from the preset depth after the laser 100 is turned off after the drill 300 has been processed to a preset depth.

[0061] Among them, T=T2+T3, 2.5≤T2 / T3≤4, 1.5≤T1 / T3≤4, T2 / T3 is not limited to setting to 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.5, 3.6, 4, 4.5, 5, 5.5, 6, 6.5, 7, 8.5, 9, 10, etc., and T1 / T3 is not limited to setting to 1.5, 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9, 2, 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 2.6, 2.7, 2.8, 2.9, 3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 4, etc. In addition, the thickness of the workpiece 200 is defined as H, and the feed speed of the drill 300 during the drilling process is defined as f. The total time T required for the drill 300 to drill through the workpiece 200 is H / f, wherein 0.5T≤T1≤0.8T, 0.2T≤T3≤0.3T, T1 is not limited to being set to 0.5T, 0.6T, 0.7T, 0.75T, 0.8T, etc.; T3 is not limited to being set to 0.2T, 0.22T, 0.24T, 0.25T, 0.27T, 0.28T, 0.3T, etc.

[0062] Through the above arrangement, the workpiece 200 is irradiated with the laser for a sufficient time and can be fully preheated, thereby reducing the resistance of the drill 300 during processing, and the drill 300 will not be damaged due to thermal melting when processing to the corresponding depth of the workpiece 200 due to excessive preheating; at the same time, the laser 100 always keeps irradiating the workpiece 200 with laser before the drill 300 processes to the preset depth of the workpiece 200, and the workpiece 200 is continuously softened while being drilled, and the workpiece 200 can reach the softening plastic deformation temperature and will not melt. The drill 300 is subject to less resistance during the entire processing process, and the processing efficiency and processing quality are high. Finally, a through hole with a high-quality bushing can be formed, and excessive irradiation of the workpiece 200 by the laser 100 is avoided, which causes the drill 300 to be damaged due to thermal melting or irradiation by the laser 100.

[0063] In one embodiment, the ultrasonic amplitude of the drill 300 during processing is 0.1 μm-10 μm, so that the drill 300 has sufficient vibration amplitude for chip removal, and can avoid excessive vibration amplitude affecting the processing quality of drilling. The power of the laser 100 is set to 100W-500W to ensure that the laser 100 can quickly preheat and soften the workpiece 200, so that the laser 100 has sufficient processing efficiency, and avoids the material properties of the workpiece 200 being affected by the excessive power of the laser 100, or the formation of heat accumulation and damage to the tool. The rotation speed of the drill 300 is n=10r / min-10000r / min, so as to ensure the drilling efficiency of the drill 300, enable the drill 300 to process stably, and avoid the drill 300 breaking due to excessive rotation speed.

[0064] For example, for a titanium alloy part thicker than 2 mm, the diameter D of the drill 300 is set to 1.8 mm, the rotation speed of the drill 300 is 1800 r / min, the feed speed of the drill 300 is f=30 mm / min, and the processing flow is as follows: first, turn on the laser 100, and the laser 100 preheats the workpiece 200 for T1=1.2 s, then start the ultrasonic vibration module 500 and the drill 300, and the laser 100 and the drill 300 work simultaneously for T2=3.5 s, turn off the laser 100 T3 in advance, T3=0.5 s, and then the drill 300 continues processing for T3 time until the workpiece 200 is drilled through.

[0065] Alternatively, for a titanium alloy part thicker than 5 mm, the diameter D of the drill 300 is set to 1.8 mm, the rotation speed of the drill 300 is set to 1800 r / min, the feed speed of the drill 300 is f=30 mm / min, and the processing flow is as follows: first, turn on the laser 100, and the laser 100 preheats the workpiece 200 for T1=3 s, then start the ultrasonic vibration module 500 and the drill 300, and the laser 100 and the drill 300 work simultaneously for T2=9 s, turn off the laser 100 T3 in advance, T3=1 s, and then the drill 300 continues processing for T3 time until the workpiece 200 is drilled through.

[0066] It is understandable that the diameter, rotation speed, feed speed, T1, T2, T3, etc. of the drill 300 are reasonably selected according to the thickness of the workpiece 200 to be drilled (i.e., the drilling depth), so that the workpiece 200 has a higher processing efficiency, avoids tool damage, and extends the tool life.

[0067] The composite hot drilling method of the present invention further comprises the following steps:

[0068] The working parameters are obtained, and the working parameters include at least one of the rotation speed of the drill 300 at different time points, the power of the laser 100, and the opening time of the laser 100; after the drilling is completed, the image of the processed hole of the workpiece 200 is obtained, and the characteristic information of the processed hole is extracted, and the characteristic information includes at least one of the height and diameter of the processed hole; finally, a functional relationship between the characteristic information and the working parameters is established. Therefore, when processing the workpiece 200 with different processing requirements, the corresponding working parameters can be selected according to the functional relationship for processing, so as to improve the processing efficiency and processing quality of the workpiece 200 and extend the service life of the tool.

[0069] Reference Figure 4The present invention also provides a composite hot drilling system, which includes a workbench 400, a laser 100, a drill 300 and an ultrasonic vibration module 500. The workbench 400 is used to install and fix a workpiece 200 to be drilled. The installation and fixing method of the workpiece 200 to the workbench 400 is not limited to clamping, pressing, etc.; the laser 100 is located below the workbench 400, and the laser 100 can emit a laser beam to the workpiece 200 to soften the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200. The laser 100 is not limited to being set as a nanosecond laser 100, a picosecond laser 100, etc.; the drill 300 is located above the workbench 400, and the drill 300 can rotate and is used to drill the workpiece 200; the ultrasonic vibration module 500 is connected to the drill 300, and is used to provide ultrasonic vibration to the drill 300, so that the drill 300 keeps rotating and ultrasonically vibrating during the drilling process.

[0070] By first softening the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200, the resistance of drilling is reduced, the machinability of the workpiece 200 is improved, and the tool breakage caused by excessive resistance during drilling is avoided. In addition, since the laser 100 and the drill 300 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the workpiece 200, the laser 100 irradiates the area to be drilled of the workpiece 200 from bottom to top, and the drill 300 drills the workpiece 200 from top to bottom, when the laser 100 irradiates the laser beam to the workpiece 200, the drill 300 avoids the laser beam, and the laser beam does not irradiate the drill 300, which can reduce the impact of laser irradiation on the drill 300 and extend the service life of the drill 300.

[0071] The ultrasonic vibration module 500 can be arranged above the workpiece 200 and connected to the workpiece 200. The ultrasonic vibration module 500 includes a power supply unit 510 and an ultrasonic tool handle 520. The power supply unit 510 is connected to an external ultrasonic power supply 600. The ultrasonic tool handle 520 is connected to the drill 300. After the power supply unit 510 is powered on, the ultrasonic tool handle 520 drives the drill 300 to generate ultrasonic vibration. The drill 300 is also connected to a driving component, which is used to drive the drill 300 to rotate. In addition, the drill 300 and the ultrasonic vibration module 500 can be installed on the machine tool spindle 700 as a combined structure. The machine tool spindle 700 is configured to drive the drill 300 to translate and / or lift, so as to drive the drill 300 to translate, so that the drill 300 drills different positions of the workpiece 200, and drives the drill 300 to feed during the drilling process.

[0072] In addition, the composite hot drilling system also includes a control unit, which can be configured to control the feeding timing of the drill 300, the feeding speed of the drill 300, the rotation speed of the drill 300, the opening and closing of the laser 100, the power of the laser 100, the amplitude of the ultrasonic vibration module 500, etc., so as to adjust the processing parameters of the drill 300 and the laser 100 in real time according to the actual processing conditions during the processing.

[0073] Specifically, the composite hot drilling system also includes a data acquisition module, an image acquisition module, an image processing module and a data analysis module; the data acquisition module is used to obtain the working parameters of the drill 300 and the laser 100, and the working parameters include at least one of the rotation speed of the drill 300 at different time points, the power of the laser 100, and the start time of the laser 100; the data acquisition module is not limited to being set as a rotation speed sensor, a thermal optical power meter, a radiation power meter, a timer, etc.

[0074] The image acquisition module is used to obtain the image of the processed hole of the workpiece 200 after drilling. The image processing module extracts the characteristic information of the processed hole according to the image, and the characteristic information includes at least one of the height and the diameter. The image processing module is not limited to being set as a CCD camera, a CMOS camera, etc. The data analysis module is used to establish a functional relationship between the characteristic information and the working parameters. The data analysis module can use data analysis software to perform data analysis and curve fitting. The data analysis module can be integrated into the control module.

[0075] In addition, the composite hot drilling processing system may also include a distance measuring module, which may be set as a distance measuring sensor. The distance measuring module is used to measure the distance between the drill 300 and the surface of the workpiece 200. The distance measuring module may be connected to the control module for communication. The control module may control the movement of the drill 300 through the measurement data of the distance measuring module, and adjust the distance between the drill 300 and the workpiece 200.

Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
