Description

Technical Field

[0002] Laser drilling is the process of machining micro-holes in materials using a high-energy-density laser beam. It is widely used in industrial manufacturing, especially in the fields of precision machining and micro-machining. The transparency of micro-holes is crucial to the machining quality, so it is necessary to monitor the status of micro-holes online through imaging.

[0003] During the micro-hole processing process, the laser interacts with the material to quickly ablate the workpiece surface and generate plasma with high-intensity light radiation. Depending on the processing material, the duration of plasma luminescence is generally between 10 nanoseconds and 100 microseconds. Plasma radiation runs through the entire drilling process, seriously interfering with imaging. The exposure time of ordinary cameras is usually in the millisecond level. In addition to receiving the illumination signal, they also receive a large amount of plasma radiation, which greatly suppresses the signal-to-noise ratio and interferes with imaging. Although the ultra-dynamic camera can enhance weak signals and suppress strong signals through algorithms, the plasma signal is not eliminated, and there is no significant improvement in the imaging effect.

[0041] Specifically, the laser drilling online detection device provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0042] The laser processing assembly 100 is used to emit processing laser pulses to process micro holes on the workpiece 400;

[0043] The laser illumination assembly 200 is used to emit illumination laser pulses and transmit the illumination laser pulses to the workpiece 400 to illuminate the microholes of the workpiece 400; the laser illumination assembly 200 includes a laser illumination light source 210, a beam expansion unit 220, a second light splitting unit 230, a first light splitting unit 240 and an objective lens 250;

The surface of the workpiece 400; the second beam splitting unit 230, the imaging lens 310 and the gated camera 320 are sequentially arranged to form a confocal optical path; the illumination laser signal reflected from the workpiece 400 passes through the objective lens 250, is reflected by the first beam splitting unit 240 and transmitted by the second beam splitting unit 230, and then enters the imaging lens 310, the gated camera 320 receives the reflected illumination laser signal, controls the shutter of the gated camera 320 to open at the set delay time, and transmits the image information to the image processing unit 330, and the image processing unit 330 displays the captured image of the workpiece micropores.

[0047] In some embodiments, a filter 340 is arranged between the second spectroscopic unit 230 and the imaging lens 310. The filter 340 is a narrow-band filter. The bandwidth of the filter 340 is less than or equal to 5 nm. The filter 340 only allows light with the same wavelength as the illumination laser pulse to pass through, thereby shielding part of the background noise in the frequency domain.

[0048] In some embodiments, the first beam splitter unit 240 includes a beam splitter prism or a dichroic mirror; the processing laser emitted by the laser processing component 100 and the illumination laser emitted by the laser illumination light source 210 have different wavelengths, the processing laser is transmitted from the first beam splitter unit 240 to the workpiece 400, and the illumination laser is reflected from the first beam splitter unit 240 to the workpiece 400; the processing laser and the illumination laser emitted by the laser processing component 100 and the laser illumination light source 210 respectively arranged at different positions are synchronously irradiated to the same position of the workpiece 400, thereby realizing synchronous processing and detection.

[0049] In some embodiments, the beam expansion unit 220 is used to expand the diameter of the illumination laser pulse and reduce the divergence angle of the illumination laser pulse to form a uniform illumination laser pulse. The beam expansion unit 220 includes at least one lens or a reflector.

[0050] In some embodiments, the objective lens 250 is used to converge parallel processing laser pulses and illumination laser pulses onto the workpiece 400 , and the objective lens 250 includes at least one lens.

[0051] In some embodiments, the second beam splitter unit 230 is a beam splitter prism, which splits the incident light beam into two parts, one part is transmitted through the beam splitter prism, and the other part is reflected; part of the illumination laser pulse emitted by the laser illumination light source 210 is reflected to the first beam splitter unit 240 through the second beam splitter unit 230; part of the illumination laser signal reflected back from the workpiece 400 is transmitted through the second beam splitter unit 230 and enters the imaging lens 310; the ratio of the transmitted light beam to the reflected light beam is set by selecting the model of the beam splitter prism; a 50:50 beam splitter prism is usually selected, that is, half of the incident light beam is transmitted and half is reflected.

[0052] In some embodiments, the imaging lens 310 collects the laser illumination signal returned from the workpiece 400 and focuses it onto the photosensitive surface of the gate control camera 320. The imaging lens 310 is composed of a plurality of lenses, which are convex lenses, concave lenses or aspherical lenses.

[0053] The present invention also provides an online detection method for laser drilling, which uses the above-mentioned online detection device for laser drilling and includes the following steps:

[0054] The processing laser pulse emitted by the laser processing assembly 100 is transmitted through the first beam splitting unit 240 and converged on the surface of the workpiece 400 through the objective lens 250 to perform micro-hole processing;

[0055] After receiving the shooting signal, the image sensor 3211 starts to expose and sends an exposure signal, the timing control module 322 sends a synchronization trigger signal to the laser illumination light source 210, and the gate control module 324 sends a gate pulse signal;

[0056] The illumination laser pulse emitted by the laser illumination light source 210 is expanded by the beam expansion unit 220, reflected by the second beam splitting unit 230 and reflected by the first beam splitting unit 240, and then converged on the surface of the workpiece 400 by the objective lens 250; the illumination laser signal reflected back by the workpiece 400 enters the imaging lens 310 after being reflected by the objective lens 250, the first beam splitting unit 240 and transmitted by the second beam splitting unit 230;

[0057] After the set delay time, the gate control module 324 controls the shutter to open, so that the shutter opening signal is synchronized with the illumination laser signal reflected by the workpiece. The specific timing process is as follows: Figure 3 As shown;

[0058] The image sensor 3211 superimposes the image information acquired in the multiple gated pulse signals within the exposure time to output a frame of image, and transmits it to the image processing unit 330;

[0059] The image processing unit 330 displays the captured image of the micropores of the workpiece, observes the details of the bottom of the micropores, and determines whether the micropores are opened; if the micropores are opened, dark spots appear on the image; if not, bright spots appear on the image.

[0060] In some embodiments, the gated frequency and gated width of the gated pulse signal are the same as the frequency and pulse width of the illumination laser pulse emitted by the laser illumination light source 210; the set delay time is calculated by the following formula:

[0061] ,

[0062] in, is the set delay time; The distance that the illumination laser travels from being transmitted to the workpiece 400 and reflected from the workpiece 400 to reaching the gated camera 320; The speed of light.

[0063] In some embodiments, the gating frequency of the gated pulse signal and the frequency of the illumination laser pulse emitted by the laser illumination light source 210 are higher than the processing laser pulse frequency emitted by the laser processing assembly 100, so that in one emission cycle of the processing laser pulse, there are multiple gated pulse signals (Gate1, Gate2, Gate3, Gate4...Gate n), and multiple cumulative imaging shots are achieved in one emission cycle of the processing laser pulse; the specific timing process is as follows: Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the plasma radiation lasts for a long time, while in the case of gated control, the illumination pulse signal can be received only by opening the door for a short exposure time. In this short time, only a small amount of plasma signal is received, which suppresses the influence of plasma signal. Accumulating multiple pulses can significantly improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

[0064] In a specific implementation, the laser processing component 100 emits a processing laser to process a microhole on the workpiece 400. The diameter of the microhole is hundreds of microns, and the aspect ratio is greater than 10:1. The minimum gate width of the gate module 324 of the gate camera 320 is less than 3ns, the maximum gain of the gain module 323 is greater than 1000 times, and the jitter of the imaging module is less than 100ps. The laser processing component 100 emits processing laser pulses at a fixed frequency and converges on the surface of the workpiece 400 to process the microhole. After receiving the shooting signal, the image sensor 3211 starts to expose and send an exposure signal. The timing control module 322 simultaneously sends a synchronization trigger signal to the laser illumination light source 210 and a gated pulse signal to the gate module 324. The laser illumination light source 210 uses an 860nm pulse laser with a frequency of 1kHz and a pulse width of 10ns. It converges on the microhole through the objective lens 250 (focal length f=100mm). The microhole has a depth of 3mm and a diameter of 300um. The illumination laser signal returned by the workpiece 400 enters the gated imaging component. After the set delay time, the gate module 324 controls the shutter to open, accurately synchronizes the returned illumination laser signal with the shutter opening signal, so that the camera captures each illumination laser pulse signal. The gated camera uses an image-enhanced sCMOS (i.e., IsCMOS) camera with a gate frequency of 1kHz and a gate width of 10ns; the image sensor 3211 has an exposure time of 10ms and a frame rate of 98FPS.

[0065] like Figure 3 As shown, during the exposure time of a single frame image of the image sensor 3211, an illumination laser pulse train is emitted at time T0, which includes 8 laser pulses (Burst=8). After a delay of ΔT, the returned illumination laser signal reaches the gated camera 320, and the gated camera 320 opens the shutter 8 times in succession at the same frequency (corresponding to Figure 4 In the example, Gate1, Gate2, Gate3, ..., Gate n, n=8), the gate width is close to the pulse width, and 8 pulse signals are received respectively. The signals are superimposed on the image sensor 3211 and then a frame of image is output.

[0066] When processing microholes, plasma radiation fills the entire drilling process. If a non-gated camera is used for imaging, all signals reaching the camera will be received during the entire exposure time of a frame of image. The intensity of the accumulated plasma signal far exceeds the illumination laser signal, which results in a poor signal-to-noise ratio. However, after using a gated camera, the effective exposure time (i.e., the total shutter opening time, corresponding to 3211) is much shorter than the single exposure time of the image sensor. Figure 4In the example, the shutter time of the gate 1, gate 2, gate 3, gate n, n=8) is 10ns×8=80ns, and the shutter is closed for the rest of the time and does not receive signals. Compared with the millisecond exposure time of the non-gated camera, the gated camera can reduce the exposure time by about 6 orders of magnitude. In addition, the 860nm filter 340 filters out the plasma noise signals in other bands, and the noise suppression rate can reach 10 -2 Even higher. The ultra-short shutter combined with frequency domain filtering can significantly suppress background noise by about 8 orders of magnitude while fully receiving the illumination signal, thus improving the signal-to-noise ratio and imaging quality of the image.

[0067] The illumination laser signal returned from a micro-hole with a depth-to-diameter ratio of 10:1 is usually weak. The gated camera 320 used can provide high optical gain to greatly enhance the weak signal, thereby presenting a clear micro-hole image.
