Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the bonding support technology in optical precision machinery engineering, and in particular to a micro-quantitative glue injection process. BACKGROUND

[0002] The bonding support mode is widely used in optical instruments due to its advantages of simple and compact connection system structure, uniform stress distribution and good temperature adaptability without additional connecting parts. In the design process of optical instruments, the support structure of mirrors and lenses is always the focus and difficulty of structural design. Most of the structural adhesives used have shrinkage during curing, and the shrinkage and change of mechanical properties of the structural adhesive will cause internal stress, which will cause deformation of the optical surface, which directly affects the surface shape and position accuracy of the optical instrument mirror, and further affects the imaging quality of the whole machine.

[0003] In order to reduce the adverse effects of shrinkage of the structural adhesive during curing on the surface shape of the optical element, the following principles should be followed during glue bonding: under the condition of meeting the bonding strength, the bonding area is as small as possible, and the bonding area should be as far away from the mirror surface as possible. Non-continuous adhesive rings or adhesive spots should be uniformly arranged on the circumference, and the size and thickness of the adhesive rings or adhesive spots should be as consistent as possible.

[0004] During the assembly stage, due to the particularity and complexity of the glue bonding process, it not only directly affects the initial assembly performance of the product, but also affects the maintainability of the assembly performance, so the strict control of the glue bonding process and the continuous optimization of the process method are needed, which has a significant influence on the protection and improvement of the glue bonding assembly performance.

[0005] The existing glue injection tool is a one-piece micro-syringe, as shown in Figure 1 The barrel of the micro-syringe is made of glass, and the needle aperture is Φ(0.1-0.5)mm. Such a micro-syringe is high in cost, and the residual adhesive in the barrel is not easy to clean when it is repeatedly used. In addition, due to the small aperture of the one-piece needle, the micro-syringe is only suitable for glue injection operation of low-viscosity adhesive, and is not suitable for high-viscosity adhesive which also needs high-precision glue injection. Usually, other non-standard tools are used for glue injection, and it is difficult to control the glue injection quality. SUMMARY
