Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to germanium lens processing equipment and a processing method, belonging to the technical field of germanium infrared optics. Background Art

[0002] Germanium (Ge), a rare metal belonging to the category of dispersed metals, is a key semiconductor material widely used in infrared optics, optical fiber, and solar energy. Within infrared optics, the military sector holds an approximately 85%-88% market share. Since its discovery, germanium's downstream applications have been constantly evolving. Around the 1960s, metallic germanium dominated the global semiconductor device industry. After the 1970s, with advances in semiconductor silicon production technology and the advent of large-scale integrated circuits, its use in the semiconductor field declined. However, with the advancement of technology, germanium has gradually begun to be used in infrared optics, optical fiber, and solar energy. The development of these new fields has propelled the germanium industry into a new golden period of development. Currently, germanium is primarily used in solar cells, infrared optics, optical fiber, PET catalysts, alloys, and healthcare.

[0003] Metallic germanium has excellent infrared optical and physical properties, and is an ideal window, lens, prism and filter for thermal imagers. It is widely used in night vision devices and thermal imagers for reconnaissance and surveillance, and plays an irreplaceable role in the field of infrared optics. Generally, germanium lenses have two spherical surfaces, one concave and one convex. When processing, such as Figure 1 As shown, a germanium single crystal rod is first cut into small sections (flat germanium sheets), which are then milled to create two concave and convex spherical surfaces. This process produces a large amount of germanium sludge, the recycling of which accounts for 25-30% of the cost of a germanium lens. Furthermore, the processing of a single lens requires a germanium single crystal that far exceeds the thickness of the lens, resulting in low utilization of the germanium single crystal and low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The present invention provides a germanium lens processing device and a processing method, which improve the utilization rate of germanium single crystals, reduce germanium sludge generated during the processing, and reduce production costs.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:

[0010] The extension line of the speed reducer shaft is perpendicular to the rotating shaft of the second motor, and the extension line of the rotating shaft of the first motor passes through the intersection of the extension line of the speed reducer shaft and the rotating shaft of the second motor.

[0011] The side of the spherical blade away from the second motor is the outer side, and the side adjacent to the second motor is the inner side.

[0012] The angle scale value (0-360°) is arranged on the scale dial, and the scale pointer is arranged on the fixing member, so that the rotation angle of the scale dial can be accurately obtained, and the position of the first motor can be accurately controlled.

[0013] In order to improve the control accuracy, the second guide rail is arranged on the upper support table at the bottom of the second driving block, the second guide rail is arc-shaped, the second driving block is slidingly fitted on the second guide rail and can move in an arc around the speed reducer shaft as the center.

[0020] The shaft of the speed reducer is fixedly connected with the second driving block. The shaft of the speed reducer rotates, and in turn drives the second driving block to move in an arc around the shaft of the speed reducer.

The receiving box is placed on the upper support table below the clamp. The position of the receiving box is flexible and adjustable.

[0029] 5) rotate the scale wheel disc to adjust the position of the crystal bar, so that the initial position of the rotation cutting of the spherical blade is the target cutting position of the crystal bar, that is, the cutting edge of the edge of the spherical blade is aligned with the starting cutting point of the crystal bar; the edge thickness of the first cutting of a crystal bar is 0, which can further reduce the generation of germanium mud and improve the recycling rate of germanium, and the edge thickness of the subsequent cutting is determined according to the thickness of the order until the crystal bar is cut off;

[0030] 6) start the first motor, the second motor, the third motor and the speed reducer to start cutting, the rotation directions of the shafts of the first motor and the second motor are opposite, the speed reducer can drive the spherical blade to make an arc motion pointing to the center of the crystal bar, when the edge of the blade reaches the center of the crystal bar, the third motor and the speed reducer stop, when the wafer is cut off, the first motor and the second motor stop, and the third motor and the speed reducer are reversed to make the spherical blade retreat to the initial position of the rotation cutting;

[0031] 7) repeat steps 5) to 6) to complete the cutting of the whole crystal bar, and the obtained wafer is finely processed to the target size to complete the wafer processing.
