Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a laser shock peening device with a bidirectional controllable normal angle, belonging to the technical field of laser shock peening. Background Art

[0002] Laser shock peening uses high-intensity laser-induced plasma shock waves to impact and process parts, and has been widely used in the improvement of the anti-fatigue and corrosion resistance of key components in the fields of aviation, aerospace, nuclear energy, etc., with remarkable effects. Existing laser shock peening equipment includes a laser generation unit, an absorption protection layer on the surface of the workpiece, a confinement layer on the surface of the absorption protection layer, and a workpiece clamping unit, etc. The role of the confinement 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 coupling efficiency of the shock wave. Currently, a 0.5 - 2 mm thick side-fed flowing water film is generally used as the transparent confinement 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, etc. are generally used as the absorption protection layer. The role of the workpiece clamping unit is to clamp the workpiece during the laser shock process and perform a certain degree of freedom movement within a specified stroke to complete the shock of the corresponding area on the workpiece.

[0003] The process of such laser shock peening is as Figure 1 shown: A short pulse (generally within 50 nanoseconds) and high power density (GW / cm 2 ) laser passes through the transparent confinement layer formed by side-fed water and acts on the absorption protection layer coated or attached to the surface of workpieces such as metals. After the absorption protection layer absorbs the laser energy, it quickly vaporizes to form a dense high-temperature and high-pressure plasma. The plasma continues to absorb the laser energy and then rapidly heats up and expands to form a shock wave. The intensity of the shock wave can reach several GPa (109 Pa) order of magnitude, which is much higher than the yield strength of many metal materials; the shock wave passes through the absorption protection layer, acts on the surface of the workpiece and propagates into its interior, causing plastic deformation and residual compressive stress fields on the surface of the workpiece, resulting in an increase in the dislocation density of the surface layer material, grain refinement, and hardness increase, thereby significantly improving the anti-fatigue, anti-wear, and anti-corrosion properties of the material.

[0004] Patents such as CN105862046B "Device for surface strengthening of aero-engine parts", CN113088677B "Water confinement layer device for laser shock peening technology and its measurement method", and CN103882188B "Integral blisk laser shock peening equipment" all use the method of keeping the laser shock peening tool head stationary and the manipulator clamping the workpiece to move to complete surface strengthening. CN216566580U "A five-axis machine tool type laser shock peening equipment" adopts a five-axis machine tool type laser shock peening method. The X-axis, Y-axis, and C-axis drive the movement and rotation of the workpiece (the workpiece has three degrees of freedom), and the Z-axis and B-axis drive the movement and rotation of the laser shock peening tool head (the laser shock peening tool head has two degrees of freedom). This structure is suitable for single-sided impact. However, during single-sided impact, the workpiece is affected by the single-sided impact force and is prone to unidirectional plastic deformation. Cumulatively, it macroscopically shows warping deformation of the workpiece, as shown in Figure 2 shown.

[0005] To reduce or avoid the adverse warping deformation generated during single-sided impact, a double-sided impact method can be adopted. For example, CN104862468B "Method for improving the life of turbine blades based on laser double-sided impact technology", CN106702137B "A method for double-sided synchronous laser shock peening of the leading edge of a turbine blade", and CN103894735B "Integral blisk single / double-sided laser shock peening optical path system". However, during the process of double-sided impact on complex curved parts, since the normal vectors on both sides of the curved surface are not necessarily collinear, the laser spot sizes are inconsistent, and the laser power densities generated by the same laser pulse energy are different, resulting in uneven impact effects on both sides. As shown in Figure 3, the optimal laser shock peening effect cannot be achieved. CN106702137B "A method for double-sided synchronous laser shock peening of the leading edge of a turbine blade" uses two laser beams with the same diameter and different pulse energies for synchronous impact on the front and back. This method requires calculating the required pulse energy according to the angle between the normal vector of the curved surface at the impact point and the laser incident direction, and adjusting the pulse energy of the optical paths on both sides in real time during the impact process. The workload of pre-processing the model is large, and the requirements for the control system are relatively high. In addition, in some cases, special inclination impact treatment is required. For example, when realizing special micro-textures through laser shock, the normal direction may not be the optimal. The ability of two-way laser shock peening along any normal angle has not been found yet. In more complex cases, the two-way impact of complex thin-walled components needs to simultaneously solve the accessibility problem of narrow parts. In many cases, two-way impact along the normal direction of narrow parts is unrealistic. For example, for the twisted part of the integral blisk of an aero-engine, if the treatment part can be reached and the impact treatment with the minimum deformation can be realized, the blade performance will be further improved. In short, the industry needs a method and equipment that can take into account accessibility and can perform two-way laser shock peening along any normal angle. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a laser shock peening device with controllable normal double-sided impact in view of the deficiencies of the existing laser shock peening technology. This device has the function of modulating the optimal normal angle of laser shock. Therefore, during the processing, the direction of the laser shock peening tool head can be adjusted at any time to cooperate with the movement of the workpiece, realizing the double-sided controllable optimal normal angle impact of complex surface parts. In particular, it can solve the problem that when the normal vectors on both sides of a complex surface part are not collinear, single-sided impact is likely to cause warping deformation and the traditional double-sided impact effect is not ideal, providing new engineering optimization degrees of freedom for laser shock peening.

The position adjustment between the laser and the tool head can be achieved through a telescopic dust-proof tube. The change in the angle of the tool head brought about by the rotation of the B-axis and C-axis can adjust the angle of the reflecting mirror through a rotating joint, so as to ensure that the laser vertically irradiates the tool head.

[0065] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to embodiments, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.

[0066] Embodiment 1

[0067] As Figure 4 shown, a laser shock peening device with a bidirectional controllable normal angle includes an equipment base 1, a laser shock peening tool head bearing unit 2, a laser shock peening tool head 3, a laser transmission unit 4, a laser 5, a workpiece clamping unit 6, a constraint layer purification and loading unit 7, and an integrated control unit 8.

[0068] The laser transmission unit 4 is a device that transmits the laser emitted by the laser 5 to the laser shock peening tool head 2. As Figure 4 , 6 shown, it includes a telescopic dust-proof tube 4-1, a rotating joint 4-2, a mirror base 4-3, a beam splitter 4-4, and a reflecting mirror 4-5. In this embodiment, the selected beam splitter is a semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror. When the laser passes through the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror, half of the laser energy is reflected into one optical path, and the other half of the laser energy passes through the lens to form another optical path, realizing the splitting of the laser beam. The rotating joint 4-2 is connected to the telescopic dust-proof tube at both ends and is provided with a mirror base 4-3 inside. The rotation axes of the rotating joint 4-2 are parallel to the rotation axes of the B-axis and C-axis of the laser shock peening tool head bearing unit 2 to ensure that the laser is perpendicularly incident on the laser shock peening tool head 3.

[0069] The workpiece clamping unit 6 is a device that clamps the workpiece to realize the five-axis linkage function. As Figure 5As shown in the figure, the Y-axis 6-1 is installed on the base 1, the X-axis 6-2 is installed on the Y-axis, the Z-axis 6-3 is installed on the X-axis, the B-axis 6-5 is installed on the Z-axis, the C-axis 6-4 is installed on the B-axis, and the workpiece and fixture are installed on the C-axis.

[0070] The laser shock peening tool head bearing unit 2 is a device that bears the laser shock peening tool head 3 to achieve five-axis movement. As Figure 7 shown in the figure, the Y-axis 2-1 slide rail is installed on the base, the X-axis 2-2 is installed on the Y-axis, the Z-axis 2-3 is installed on the X-axis, the B-axis 2-4 is installed on the Z-axis, the C-axis 2-5 is installed on the B-axis, and the laser shock peening tool head 3 is installed on the C-axis.

[0071] The laser shock peening tool head 3 adopts the coaxial transmission mode of laser and water confinement layer. As Figure 8 shown in the figure, the confinement layer is loaded into the inner cavity 3-5 of the tool head at the confinement layer inlet 3-4 of the tool head. A window protection lens 3-3 is provided in front of the inner cavity 3-5 to isolate the focusing lens 3-1 from the water cavity. A nozzle 3-6 is connected behind the inner cavity 3-5. The laser and the water confinement layer are simultaneously emitted from the nozzle 3-6 and act on the surface of the specimen. The focusing module 3-2 can adjust the front and back positions of the focusing lens within a certain range, so that the distance between the laser focus and the nozzle outlet can be adjusted according to the size of the workpiece.

[0072] The confinement layer purification and loading unit 7, as Figure 8 shown in the figure, includes a confinement layer purification device 7-1, a confinement layer pressurization device 7-2, and a confinement layer transmission device 7-3. In this embodiment, the confinement layer purification device 7-1 is a ultrapure water machine, and the resistivity of the output ultrapure water > 15 MΩ, which can effectively prevent the water from being broken down when the laser power density is large. The confinement layer pressurization device 7-2 is an adjustable booster pump, and the water pressure value is adjusted according to the inner cavity structure, so that the water after pressurization is in a stable laminar flow structure, which is convenient for the stable transmission of the laser in water and reduces the loss of laser energy. The confinement layer transmission device 7-3 is connected to the confinement layer inlet 3-4.

[0073] The integrated control system 8 controls the switches of the laser, the confinement layer loading and purification unit 7, and controls the movements of the laser shock peening tool head bearing unit 2 and the workpiece clamping unit 6.

[0074] The above are only several embodiments of the present application, and do not impose any form of limitation on the present application. Although the present application is disclosed above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of the technical solution of the present application, makes some changes or modifications using the technical content disclosed above, which are all equivalent to equivalent implementation cases and fall within the scope of the technical solution.
