Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ultra-precision machining technology, and more specifically, to a method and apparatus for machining micro-pit structures on the surface of complex micro-components such as thin-walled spherical shells based on coordinate transformation. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of aerospace, biomedicine, microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), and other fields, the demand for various high-precision complex micro-components is increasing. For example, a complex micro-component made of CH composite material with a diameter of 1–5 mm and a wall thickness of 20–120 μm has been widely used in nuclear physics experiments and new energy exploration due to its low density, atomic number, and excellent machinability. To further clarify the tool-material interaction mechanism and reveal the influence of material properties on practical engineering applications, it is necessary to process dozens of micrometer-scale characteristic micro-pit structures on the entire surface of the aforementioned micro-components, requiring micrometer-level shape accuracy, nanometer-level surface roughness, and micrometer-level pit spacing error. This poses a severe challenge to ultra-precision manufacturing processes and machining coordinate transformation methods.

[0003] For high-precision machining of complex micro-spherical shell micro-pit structures with full-surface micro-cavities under micro-scale constraints, a dedicated ultra-precision multi-axis linkage device is required. This necessitates the design of specialized micro-structure machining processes and micro-pit structure point set coordinate generation algorithms. Furthermore, based on the device structure and machining coordinate system, the point set coordinates must be rationally designed and transformed to achieve stable and controllable removal of the micro-pit structures. The key to ensuring the quality of micro-structure machining lies in how to uniformly distribute and generate the coordinates of the micro-pit structures based on the micro-target size and the specific number of micro-pit structures, and then transform them to the machining coordinate system. This, combined with writing the CNC program based on the micro-structure dimensional characteristics, is crucial. Existing ultra-precision machining devices mainly rely on two-axis and three-axis ultra-precision manufacturing technologies. Five-axis linkage ultra-precision machining is primarily designed for simple basic surfaces such as planes or cylinders. For complex micro-components, limitations in control program writing and process formulation mean that many factors influence the accuracy of the results, making precise implementation difficult. Coordinate transformation methods for regular basic contours and single-feature structures are not applicable to the transformation and generation of coordinates for machining complex micro-components such as thin-walled spherical shells. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is:

[0007] This invention provides a method for fabricating micro-pit structures on the surface of complex micro-components such as thin-walled spherical shells based on coordinate transformation, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1. Point set coordinate generation: By observing with a high-resolution CCD camera, the axis of the C-axis motion unit and the axis of the milling axis are in the same plane. The high-resolution CCD camera is adjusted to take pictures of the workpiece area, the diameter of the microsphere target is identified and obtained, and the workpiece coordinate system is established with the center of the microsphere target as the coordinate origin to generate the initial coordinates of the micro-pit point set on the entire surface of the microsphere target.

[0009] S2. Spatial coordinate transformation: Based on the initial coordinates of the micro-pit point set on the entire surface of the micro-spherical target, the C-axis is rotated by a certain angle so that any micro-pit point to be processed on the surface of the micro-spherical target is rotated to the horizontal plane where the axis of the C-axis motion unit is located. The B-axis is rotated by a certain angle so that the angle between the milling axis and the Z-axis linear motion unit is equal to the angle between the line connecting the origin of the workpiece coordinate system and the direction of the Z-axis linear motion unit. The coordinates of the B-axis and C-axis, as well as the coordinates of the X / Y / Z linear axis motion units in the workpiece coordinate system, are obtained.

[0014] S1-3. In the workpiece coordinate system, the number N of the micro-pit structures to be machined on the entire surface of the thin-walled microsphere target is... u The initial point set coordinates of the micro-pit structure on the entire surface of the microsphere target were generated based on the Fibonacci algorithm.

[0015] Furthermore, the initial point set coordinates of the micro-pit structure on the entire surface of the microsphere target, generated by the Fibonacci algorithm as described in S1-3, specifically involves, along O... w Z w The direction uniformly divides the microsphere target shell into Nu If the i-th layer is a shell, then the coordinate of the midpoint Z in the thickness direction of the i-th layer is... w for:

Based on the angle εi between the line connecting the projection point Pi and the origin Ow of the workpiece coordinate system and the Yw axis, the C-axis coordinates corresponding to the machining point Ni are obtained.

[0025] Specifically, when any point N to be processed i (x wi ,y wi Located in X w O w Y w The second quadrant of the coordinate system, i.e., x wi <0,y wi If the value is greater than 0, then the C-axis rotation angle corresponding to the point Ni to be processed is (π / 2 - εi), and the corresponding C-axis coordinate is:

[0032]

[0033] S2-2, From any point N to be processed in the workpiece coordinate system i (x wi ,y wi ,z wi ), connection point N i With the center of the microsphere target O w denoted as N i O w According to N i O w With respect to the workpiece coordinate system Z w The positive angle βi between the axes gives the B-axis coordinates corresponding to machining point Ni as follows:

[0038]

[0039] Furthermore, S3 includes the following steps:

[0041] S3-2. Set the tool setting completion point as the machining origin and set it as the origin O of the machining coordinate system. m With the positive direction of the Z-axis linear motion unit as Z... m +, with the positive direction of the X-axis linear motion unit as X m +, with the positive direction of the Y-axis linear motion unit as Ym +, Establish machining coordinate system O m -X m Y m Z m ;

[0042] S3-3, Place any micro-pit point N to be machined in the workpiece coordinate system. i (X wi ,Y wi Z wi B wi C wi Convert to machining coordinates N in the machining coordinate system i (X i ,Y i Z i B i C i );

[0050]

[0051] After completing the spatial transformation of the coordinates of the micro-pit structures on the entire surface of the complex micro-component of the thin-walled spherical shell, the micro-pit structures are processed according to the processing coordinates.

The horizontal X / Z-axis linear motion units are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and the vertical Y-axis linear motion unit is arranged on the X-axis linear motion unit guide rail. The B-axis motion unit 1 uses a hydrostatic bearing and is arranged on the Z-axis linear motion unit. The C-axis motion unit 5 uses a gas hydrostatic bearing and is mounted on the slide of the Y-axis linear motion unit. Both the B and C-axis motion units are driven by frameless torque motors and controlled by circular grating feedback.

[0158] Example 2

[0159] The processing apparatus of the present invention will be described using the following specific embodiments.

[0160] The microsphere target is adsorbed onto the vacuum adsorption fixture by negative pressure, and a seal is achieved between the microsphere target and the fixture clamp through circumferential contact. Figure 11 As shown, when the radius of the microsphere target is R, the corresponding contact circumference radius is R*cosα, and the workpiece-fixture contact area S = π*(R*cosα) 2 , where α is the contact angle, and its value ranges from 35° to 46° after optimization using the finite element method.

[0161] like Figure 12 As shown, the deformation of the microsphere target during workpiece clamping and workpiece-fixture adsorption contact (circumferential contact) was simulated using the finite element analysis method to optimize the contact angle and contact area, and further optimize the fixture structure.

[0162] Specifically, when the diameter of the microsphere target is 1 mm, the optimized contact angle is 37°, and the workpiece-fixture adsorption contact area S = π*(0.5*cos37°) 2 =0.5. Based on finite element simulation, the maximum static deformation of the microsphere target at the circumferential contact point is only 9.26 nm, which meets the actual processing requirements.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and all such changes and modifications will fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
