Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of ultra-precision manufacturing of large-aperture optical elements, and more specifically to a processing device and method for grinding and shaping edges and corners and surface polishing of large-aperture aspherical optical elements. Background Art
[0002] Compared with traditional spherical optical elements, aspherical optical elements can avoid adverse effects such as spherical aberration, coma, and aberration, reduce light energy loss when focusing the beam, and improve focusing and calibration accuracy. They are widely used in modern large-scale optical systems (such as high-power laser devices used in inertial confinement fusion research). Compared with traditional optical systems, high-power laser devices require large-aperture aspherical optical elements in terms of high precision, batch production, and low cost. This is an engineering and technical problem commonly faced by the field of optical processing in the world.
[0003] In the precision forming stage of large-aperture aspheric optical components, in addition to obtaining high shape accuracy of the aspheric surface, the edges and corners of the components also need to be precisely formed and polished to ensure the clean control of the components in the use environment. Since the sagittal height and radius of curvature of the aspheric surface points are different, it is generally done manually, using oilstone to grind the edges and corners of the components step by step, and then using polishing leather and polishing liquid to polish the edges and corners. This method has low processing efficiency, unstable surface quality, and high dependence on the skills of the operator. It is difficult to achieve mass production and cannot meet the growing needs of engineering applications.
[0004] Patent document CN 116021369 A discloses a glass cover plate edge polishing device and a glass cover plate edge polishing method. The polishing device includes a clamping component, a grinding component, and a lowering component for fixing the glass cover plate, which can improve the smoothness and bending resistance of the glass cover plate after polishing. The device can realize batch polishing of the edges of optical components, but can only realize the grinding and polishing of the edges of flat optical components. Patent document CN 218533905 U discloses a touch screen panel edge polishing device, including a polishing component, an "L"-shaped base, and a driving component. It can only polish each edge of a flat optical component in turn. Patent document CN 210452254 U discloses a resin optical aspheric lens mold edge corner polishing device, including a machine base, a polishing slide, a polishing assembly, a lens mold fixing assembly, etc. During the polishing process, the mold fixing block can be adjusted to a larger polishing area to avoid the generation of polishing dead angles. At the same time, the polishing grinding head can automatically move up and down and swing back and forth. The degree of automation and polishing accuracy are high, and the surface shape can be guaranteed while improving the smoothness of the edge corners. This solution can only be used for polishing the edges and corners of small-caliber aspheric components made of soft optical materials.
[0005] The above existing technologies cannot realize the forming and polishing of the edges and corners of all large-aperture, hard and brittle materials, and special-shaped aspherical optical components of high-power laser devices, and cannot realize the mass and low-cost manufacturing of large-aperture aspherical optical components.
