Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical grating scribing technology, specifically providing a convex grating mechanical scribing system and method based on an orthogonal rotation axis system. Background Technology

[0002] A convex grating is a spectroscopic component with periodic micro-grooves, widely used in imaging spectrometers with Offner spectroscopic structures and other types of spectroscopic instruments to achieve high imaging quality and compact size. It plays a crucial role in applications such as deep space exploration and optical remote sensing. As a core component of spectrometers, the aperture and groove quality of the convex grating directly constrain the further development of imaging spectrometers and other spectroscopic instruments. For example, in the ultraviolet spectral range, a small blaze angle is required to achieve high diffraction efficiency in the ultraviolet band, while extremely high surface quality is needed across the entire spectral range to reduce stray light and improve the instrument's signal-to-noise ratio.

[0003] Existing methods for fabricating convex gratings mostly employ optical techniques such as single-point diamond turning, electron beam direct writing, and holographic ion beam etching. While each method has its advantages, they suffer from technical challenges such as high surface roughness, limited grating blaze angle fabrication, and poor control over the groove apex angle. These limitations prevent the fabrication of convex blaze gratings that simultaneously meet the requirements of large aperture, arbitrary blaze angle, and high diffraction efficiency. Therefore, designing a mechanical scribing method for fabricating convex blaze gratings with large aperture, arbitrary blaze angle, and high groove shape accuracy to promote the development of high-end imaging spectrometers is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0010] Furthermore, the tool lifting and lowering drive mechanism includes a tool lifting and lowering drive component and a guide seat. The guide seat is located between the tool setting displacement stage and the indexing error compensation component. The power output end of the tool lifting and lowering drive component is connected to a tool lifting and lowering hook, which passes through the guide seat and extends between the guide seat and the grating substrate. The tool lifting and lowering hook includes a hook head located between the guide seat and the grating substrate. The hook head hooks or releases the movable support seat to realize the lifting and lowering action of the engraving tool.

[0011] Furthermore, the indexing error compensation component is a piezoelectric ceramic.

[0012] Furthermore, the calibration and adjustment mechanism is located close to the grating substrate and is a three-dimensional adjustment structure, including a radius direction adjustment body, a scale direction adjustment body, and a graduation direction adjustment body.

[0014] A mechanical scribing method for convex gratings based on an orthogonal rotation axis system, comprising the following steps:

[0015] S1. Perform assembly and adjustment preparation work before grating substrate scribing;

[0016] S11. Install the indexing motion mechanism, the engraving motion mechanism, the engraving support table, and the correction and adjustment mechanism to form an orthogonal rotary shaft system;

[0017] S12. Measure and adjust the grating substrate to make the center of the grating substrate coincide with the center of the orthogonal rotation axis system.

[0018] S13. Install the scribing tool according to the groove shape parameters of the grating substrate, and move the scribing tool toward the grating substrate so that the scribing tool contacts the metal film layer deposited on the surface of the grating substrate.

[0019] S2. Perform mechanical scribing on the grating substrate;

[0020] S21. Drive the lifting and lowering hook to move, lift the tool and make the engraving tool move to the initial position of the first groove;

[0021] S22, The tool is lowered, and the first groove is completed through the engraving motion mechanism;

[0022] S23, lift the tool, the scribing motion mechanism returns to its initial position, and at the same time rotate the indexing motion mechanism so that the grating substrate moves one step in the indexing direction until the scribing tool is located at the initial position of the second groove on the grating substrate.

[0023] S24. The tool is lowered again, and the second groove is completed through the engraving motion mechanism;

[0024] S25. Lift the blade again, and both the engraving motion mechanism and the indexing motion mechanism return to their initial positions;

[0025] S26. Repeat S21 to S25 until the fabrication of the grating substrate is complete.

[0026] Furthermore, in S11, the indexing rotary table, the indexing system support table, the marking rotary table, and the marking system support table are first installed and together form an orthogonal rotary axis system; then the marking support table is installed on the marking rotary table, and the correction and adjustment mechanism is installed on the marking support table;

[0027] In S12, the grading rotary table rotates repeatedly to measure the undulations of the grating substrate using an external displacement detection device, and then adjusts and corrects the grating substrate using a calibration mechanism. The indexing rotary table rotates repeatedly to measure the undulations of the grating substrate, and the calibration and adjustment mechanism adjusts and corrects the grating substrate again. Finally, the center of the grating substrate is aligned with the center of the orthogonal rotation axis, achieving the initial setup of the grating substrate. At this point, the motion trajectory of the orthogonal rotation axis is the grading trajectory of the grating substrate.

[0028] Furthermore, the method for engraving the first groove in S22 is as follows: After the tool is lowered, when the engraving tool contacts the grating substrate, the engraving rotary table is rotated clockwise to create the first groove on the grating substrate; at this time, the coincidence error between the center of the grating substrate and the center of the orthogonal rotation axis during the initial setup process is compensated by the center of the grating substrate coincidence error compensation component on the tool holder support mechanism;

In conjunction with the piezoelectric ceramic under the scribing tool, it can precisely step the grating period distance and has the characteristic of large rotation angle, thus possessing the capability to fabricate large-diameter convex gratings.

[0034] 3. The tool holder support mechanism used in the mechanical scribing method of this invention has a sphere center coincidence error compensation component, specifically a flexible hinge mechanism. This mechanism can suppress the rotational error caused by the misalignment of the sphere center of the convex grating substrate with the sphere center of the orthogonal rotation axis system, thereby obtaining highly consistent convex grating grooves and achieving mechanical scribing. Compared with existing technologies, the convex grating mechanical scribing method based on the orthogonal rotation axis system has advantages in terms of manufacturing mechanism, achieving a small blaze angle and low surface roughness, and in terms of manufacturing method, it has advantages in terms of large aperture, high scribing line position accuracy, and good scribing line consistency.

[0052] During the scribing process, the scribing tool 31 performs unidirectional extrusion scribing on the grating substrate 5. In this embodiment, a scribing trajectory construction system for a convex grating is built based on an orthogonal rotation axis system, and a micro-extrusion mechanical scribing method is used to fabricate the convex blazed grating. This improves the fabrication accuracy and allows for the fabrication of convex blazed gratings that simultaneously possess large aperture, small blaze angle, low surface roughness, and high diffraction efficiency. The mechanical scribing trajectory of the convex blazed grating substrate 5 is as follows: Figure 4As shown, X is the grading axis of the grading rotary table 26, Z is the indexing axis of the indexing rotary table 23, Y is the axis of the grading bearing table 3, and the intersection of X and Z is the center of the orthogonal rotary axis system.

[0053] A mechanical scribing method for convex gratings based on an orthogonal rotation axis system, comprising the following steps:

[0054] S1. Perform the assembly and preparation work before scribing the grating substrate 5.

[0055] S11. Install the indexing motion mechanism 1, the engraving motion mechanism 2, the engraving support table 3, and the correction and adjustment mechanism 4 to form an orthogonal rotary axis system. In S11, first install the indexing rotary table 23, the indexing system support table 24, the engraving rotary table 26, and the engraving system support table 25 to form an orthogonal rotary axis system. Then, install the engraving support table 3 on the engraving rotary table 26 with screws and install the correction and adjustment mechanism 4 on the engraving support table 3 with screws, which together serve as the support mechanism for the convex grating substrate 5.

[0056] S12. The grating substrate 5 is measured and adjusted to make the center of the sphere of the grating substrate 5 coincide with the center of the sphere of the orthogonal rotation axis system. In S12, the grading rotary table 26 is rotated repeatedly, and the undulation of the grating substrate 5 is measured by an external precision displacement detection device such as an inductive micrometer. The grating substrate 5 is adjusted and corrected by the correction and adjustment mechanism 4. Similarly, the indexing rotary table 23 is rotated repeatedly to measure the undulation of the grating substrate 5. The grating substrate 5 is adjusted and corrected by the correction and adjustment mechanism 4. Finally, the center of the sphere of the grating substrate 5 is made to coincide with the center of the sphere of the orthogonal rotation axis system, and the initial assembly and adjustment of the grating substrate 5 is achieved. At this time, the motion trajectory of the orthogonal rotation axis system is the grading trajectory of the grating substrate 5.

[0057] S13. Install the scribing tool 31 according to the groove shape parameters of the grating substrate 5. Specifically, install the scribing tool 31 on the movable support seat 15 in the tool holder support mechanism 10. The clamping seat 13 in the tool holder support mechanism 10 is then threadedly connected to the piezoelectric ceramic. Move the scribing tool 31 toward the grating substrate 5 so that the scribing tool 31 contacts the metal film layer deposited on the surface of the grating substrate 5. This completes the assembly and adjustment preparation work.

[0058] S2. Perform mechanical scribing on the grating substrate 5.

[0059] S21. Different loads are applied to the marking tool 31 according to the different grating groove shapes, so that the marking tool 31 is pressed into the metal film surface of the grating substrate 5. The tool lifting and lowering drive 16 drives the lifting and lowering hook 18 to perform reciprocating extension and retraction motion, so that the marking tool 31 performs the lifting and lowering action. Specifically, the lifting and lowering hook 18 is driven to move first, lifting the tool and causing the marking tool 31 to move to the initial position of the first groove.

[0060] S22, The tool is lowered, and the first groove is completed through the engraving motion mechanism 2. The first groove is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in 'a', the specific method for etching the first groove is as follows: After the tool is lowered, when the etching tool 31 contacts the grating substrate 5, the etching rotary table 26 is rotated clockwise, causing the first groove to be generated on the grating substrate 5. At this time, the coincidence error between the center of the grating substrate 5 and the center of the orthogonal rotation axis during the initial setup process is compensated by the sphere coincidence error compensation component on the tool holder support mechanism 10, namely the cross flexible hinge. During etching, the etching tool 31 etches the first groove of the grating substrate 5 using unidirectional extrusion etching.

[0061] S23, the cutting tool is lifted, and the marking motion mechanism 2 returns to its initial position. Specifically, the marking rotary table 26 is rotated counterclockwise, so that the marking motion mechanism 2 returns to its initial position as a whole. At the same time, the indexing rotary table 23 in the indexing motion mechanism 1 is rotated so that the grating substrate 5 moves one step in the indexing direction until the marking tool 31 is located at the initial position of the second groove of the grating substrate 5. At this time, the error generated when the indexing rotary table 23 in the indexing motion mechanism 1 completes the indexing action is compensated by the piezoelectric ceramic.

[0062] S24. The tool is lowered again, and the second groove is completed by the engraving motion mechanism 2. The second groove is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in b in the figure. The second groove is etched as follows: After the tool is lowered, when the etching tool 31 contacts the grating substrate 5, the etching rotary table 26 is rotated clockwise to create a second groove on the grating substrate 5. During etching, the etching tool 31 etchs the second groove on the grating substrate 5 by unidirectional extrusion etching.

[0063] S25. Lift the cutter again and rotate the engraving rotary table 26 counterclockwise so that the engraving motion mechanism 2 returns to its initial position, and the indexing motion mechanism 1 also returns to its initial position.

[0064] S26. Repeat S21 to S25 to complete n grooves. The n grooves are as follows: Figure 5 As shown in c, until the fabrication of the grating substrate 5 is completed, the finished convex grating is as follows: Figure 6 As shown, the entire characterization process is as follows: Figure 7 As shown.

[0065] In this process, different convex blazed grating target groove parameters can be prepared using different scribing tools 31. The blazed angle is not limited, and the mechanical scribing method that does not produce chips can obtain very small surface roughness. The orthogonal rotation axis system also greatly expands the scribing diameter. The piezoelectric ceramic and the indexing rotary table 23 form a two-stage indexing and positioning system, which can ensure the scribing line position accuracy of the convex grating.

Those skilled in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.
