Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to an intrusive laser shock peening device and method that can be used for surface treatment of narrow structures, and belongs to the field of laser shock peening. Background Art

[0002] Laser shock peening technology uses the plasma shock wave generated by high-intensity laser to impact the surface of parts, improving the fatigue resistance, wear resistance and corrosion resistance of metal materials. The existing laser shock peening process system generally includes a laser generation unit, an absorption protection layer located on the surface of the workpiece, a constraint layer located on the surface of the absorption protection layer, and a workpiece clamping unit. The role of the constraint layer is to allow the laser energy to pass through and act on the absorption protection layer, and at the same time, provide as much reaction force as possible during the expansion of the plasma to improve the efficiency of shock wave coupling. Currently, a water film with a thickness of 0.5 - 2 mm is generally used as the transparent constraint layer at home and abroad. The role of the absorption protection layer is to absorb laser energy, generate plasma, and at the same time avoid damage to the workpiece by the laser and plasma. Currently, paint, flexible tape or metal foil with a certain thickness are generally used as the absorption protection layer. The role of the workpiece clamping unit is to clamp the workpiece and perform a certain degree of freedom movement within a specified stroke during the laser shock process to complete the shock of the corresponding area on the workpiece.

[0003] Since the laser shock peening process head is generally large in size and has to take into account the generation of the water film and the transmission of the light beam, the current laser shock peening equipment is mainly used to impact the outer surface of the workpiece, and it is difficult to process narrow spaces, especially for the inner cavities, inner holes, inner surfaces of complex structures or non-directly visible parts that are common in the engineering field. The laser shock peening process ability is insufficient. Patents such as CN102517423B "A method for small hole strengthening" and CN103014276B "A method for small hole strengthening combining taper pressing and laser shock peening" both adopt the method of strengthening the surface to be drilled first and then drilling to improve the stress distribution of the inner wall and end face of the hole; Patent CN112795772B "A blind hole composite strengthening device and method based on laser shock peening and cold extrusion" uses a hard mandrel to perform cold extrusion strengthening on the inner wall of the hole and uses a laser to perform shock peening treatment on the end face of the hole.

[0004] The in-pipe cladding process provides new inspiration for laser shock peening in narrow spaces such as pipes, but the cladding process is very different from the laser shock peening process, especially laser shock peening requires maintaining sufficient transparent medium constraint, and the process involves very high pulse energy.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the industry for new process methods and systems to achieve laser shock peening in narrow spaces. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide an intrusive laser shock peening device that can be used for surface treatment of narrow spaces such as the inner cavity and inner hole of a pipeline, so as to expand the application of existing laser shock peening devices. This requires solving three major problems at the same time. One is to efficiently transmit laser energy to narrow spaces. The second is to intelligently apply processing techniques in narrow spaces. The third is to achieve sufficient laser shock peening treatment under the constraint of narrow spaces.

[0007] In one aspect of the present application, an intrusive laser shock peening device for surface treatment of narrow structures is provided, including an integrated control unit, a laser, an intrusive laser shock peening process treatment unit, and a water supply unit;

[0014] Optionally, the rotating joint has a rotational degree of freedom relative to the telescopic pipeline it is connected to, whereby the relative position of the nozzle in the circumferential direction of the inner wall of the pipeline can be adjusted.

[0015] The number of rotating joints can be increased as needed, as Figure 8 shown. In addition, the end of the intrusive laser shock peening process treatment unit (abbreviated as the process head) can adjust the telescopic mechanism as needed to adjust the laser focusing position.

[0016] Optionally, the telescopic pipeline includes a telescopic pipeline I and a telescopic pipeline II;

[0017] The telescopic pipeline I and the telescopic pipeline II are connected through the rotating joint;

[0018] The water confinement layer inlet is provided on the pipe wall of the telescopic pipeline II;

[0027] Optionally, the telescopic pipeline I includes a telescopic pipeline IA and a telescopic pipeline IB. Among them, the outer diameter of the telescopic pipeline IB is smaller than the inner diameter of the telescopic pipeline IA. In the contracted state, the telescopic pipeline IB is received inside the telescopic pipeline IA.

[0028] The telescopic pipeline IB is connected to the rotating joint. The outer diameter of the rotating joint is smaller than the inner diameter of the telescopic pipeline IB. In the contracted state, the rotating joint is received inside the telescopic pipeline IB, ensuring that the pipeline diameter near the inner end of the workpiece is smaller than the pipeline diameter near the outer end of the workpiece.

[0029] Optionally, the telescopic pipeline II includes a telescopic pipeline IIA and a telescopic pipeline IIB. The telescopic pipeline IIA is connected to the rotating joint.

[0033] Or the laser is connected to the intrusive laser shock peening process unit through an optical fiber to form a laser transmission optical path, which is a flexible optical fiber transmission method.

[0034] Optionally, the optical fiber is a liquid-core optical fiber. Since the laser energy for laser shock peening is very high, it is generally difficult for ordinary optical fibers to reliably transmit energy. In this application, a liquid-core optical fiber is preferably used, that is, the center is high-purity water and the tube wall is made of a substance with a refractive index less than that of water, such as Teflon.

[0035] Optionally, the wavelength of the laser includes the infrared band and the green visible light band

[0036] Optionally, the intrusive laser shock peening device further includes a measurement and control unit and a motion control unit;

[0037] The measurement and control unit is installed at the nozzle and is used to obtain and transmit local position information;

[0038] The measurement and control unit includes an optical imaging module and / or a displacement sensing module;

[0039] The motion control unit is used to receive the position information transmitted by the measurement and control unit.

[0040] Optionally, the above-mentioned process head can not only intervene in the narrow space, transmit the transparent medium and the high-power laser, but also transmit the local position information in time. The position information is provided by the measurement and control unit, such as an optical imaging unit or a displacement sensing unit, and is fed back to the motion control system to solve the problem of intelligent processing in the narrow space.

[0041] As a specific implementation manner, an intrusive laser shock peening device that can be used for the surface treatment of narrow structures includes a master control unit, a laser, a process head, a motion system, a water supply system, a measurement and control system, a workpiece, and a workpiece clamping unit. The master control unit controls the laser to emit laser light, and through the relative movement of the process head relative to the workpiece, the laser shock peening treatment under the constraint of the narrow space is realized. The relative movement includes three categories: mainly the movement of the workpiece, mainly the movement of the process head, and the coordinated movement of both.

[0042] Another aspect of the present application provides an interventional laser shock peening method based on narrow spaces, utilizing the above-mentioned interventional laser shock peening device that can be used for surface treatment of narrow structures, through the relative movement of the interventional laser shock peening process unit and the workpiece, based on the coaxial output of the water confinement layer and the laser, interventional laser shock peening in narrow spaces is performed.

[0043] This application uses a process head that can intervene in narrow spaces. Through the relative movement of the process head and the workpiece, based on the coaxial water supply laser shock strengthening technology, laser shock strengthening treatment of narrow parts including inner pipes and engine integral blade disc blade roots is achieved.

[0044] Optionally, the interventional laser shock peening method comprises:

[0045] (1) using a rotating joint and a retractable pipeline of an interventional laser shock peening process unit to adjust the relative position of a nozzle and a surface to be processed of the workpiece;

[0046] The relative position between the nozzle and the surface to be processed of the workpiece specifically refers to a position at which the nozzle and the surface to be processed of the workpiece have a certain distance and angle;

[0047] (2) outputting laser light and a water confinement layer through an integrated control unit, wherein the laser light enters through a retractable pipe and is ejected from a nozzle to act on the surface to be processed of the workpiece;

[0048] The water constraint layer enters from the water constraint layer inlet and is sprayed out from the nozzle to act on the surface to be processed of the workpiece.

[0049] Optionally, step (2) includes:

[0050] The laser is injected from the port of the telescopic pipeline, passes through the telescopic pipeline I and the rotating joint in sequence, and then enters the focusing mirror, the window protection sheet, and the water constraint layer cavity after being reflected by the 45-degree reflector at the rotating joint, and then is emitted through the nozzle. The laser acts on the surface to be processed of the workpiece;

[0051] The water constraint layer is outputted from the water supply unit, enters the water constraint layer cavity through the pipeline and the water constraint layer inlet, and is sprayed out through the nozzle. The water constraint layer acts on the surface to be processed of the workpiece.

[0052] As a specific implementation method, the laser is injected from the retractable pipeline port, passes through the retractable pipeline, the rotating joint, and enters the focusing mirror and the window piece after being reflected by the reflector, and then enters the water confinement layer cavity. The cavity sprays a steady-state water flow through the nozzle, stably transmits the focused laser energy, acts on the workpiece, and realizes laser shock strengthening in a narrow space. Through relative motion, large-area and large-stroke processing is achieved.

[0053] Optionally, the surface to be machined of the workpiece includes at least one of a pipe inner cavity, an inner hole surface of the workpiece, a blisk surface, and a blade root in the blisk structure.

[0054] The beneficial effects that can be produced by this application include:

[0055] (1) The length and quantity of the telescopic pipeline can be adjusted according to the length of the workpiece, expanding the application scope of this device.

[0056] (2) In the direction perpendicular to the inner cavity surface, telescopic pipelines and nozzles are provided, and the length and quantity of the telescopic pipelines can be adjusted according to the diameter of the inner cavity.

[0057] (3) The rotating joint equipped with a mirror has a rotational degree of freedom relative to the connected telescopic pipeline. When the workpiece is large and not easy to rotate, the relative position between the nozzle and the circumferential direction of the workpiece can be adjusted.

[0058] (4) This device adopts the coaxial water supply method, eliminating the difficult problem of controlling the water film thickness that must be solved in side water supply, saving space and being stable and reliable.

[0059] (5) The quantity of the telescopic pipelines and rotating joints can be adjusted intelligently according to needs to meet the requirements of different complex-structured spaces.

[0060] (6) This application provides an intrusive laser shock peening device and method for surface treatment of narrow spaces such as pipe inner cavities and hole inner walls, effectively solving the problem that it is difficult for existing laser shock peening devices to process narrow spaces such as pipe inner walls and inner hole surfaces.
