Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a surface polishing technology for an aspheric lens, and in particular to a force rheological polishing device and a polishing method for an aspheric lens. Background Art

[0002] Aspheric lenses, due to their excellent aberration correction capabilities, can significantly improve image quality. In an optical system, a single aspheric lens can perform the functions of multiple spherical lenses, thereby reducing the number of lenses. This helps simplify the optical system structure, lowering manufacturing costs and weight, and is more advantageous than traditional spherical lenses. Therefore, they are widely used in civilian applications such as infrared cameras and video camera lenses, military applications such as satellites and missile fairings, and medical applications such as X-ray lenses and endoscopes.

[0003] The demanding environment in which aspheric lenses are used also places high demands on the surface quality of aspheric lenses. The irregularities and roughness generated during the processing of aspheric lenses will affect the optical performance of the aspheric lenses. When the aspheric lens has excessive shape deviation, any manufacturing inaccuracies when light or laser beams pass through lenses, prisms or other optical elements will damage the operation of the entire optical system. Traditional contact polishing is widely used for polishing aspheric surfaces, but the direct contact between the polishing tool and the lens surface can cause tiny scratches or damage on the lens surface, directly affecting the optical performance. Contact polishing requires multiple iterations and fine adjustments to achieve the required surface accuracy, and polishing tools need to be replaced regularly due to wear. The overall polishing efficiency is low and the polishing period is long. Mechano-rheological polishing technology is a non-contact polishing method that is suitable for complex surfaces, has high processing efficiency, and is damage-free. It is a powerful supplement to the processing of aspheric lenses.

[0004] The existing technology has the following problems:

[0005] Chinese patent document CN202120881293.4 discloses a polishing device for aspheric optical components. This device utilizes a mechanical structure to bring a sponge gasket into contact with an aspheric lens and adjust the polishing axis angle to achieve precise polishing of the center and sides of the lens. However, this is essentially a traditional contact process, which can easily leave damage and defects on the workpiece surface even in the final fine polishing process, and it is difficult to ensure the surface accuracy of the aspheric optical component.

[0006] Chinese patent document CN202211397407.3 discloses a highly efficient and high-energy rheological polishing device for complex curved surfaces. This device combines a four-axis motion mechanism with an ultrasonic vibration mechanism, using an ultrasonic transducer to drive the polishing axis and complex curved parts to vibrate, achieving high-efficiency rheological polishing of complex curved parts. However, this device achieves polishing by generating centrifugal force through the rotation of the polishing disc, which changes the flow characteristics of the polishing fluid and causes it to enter a shear thickening region, where it generates shear thickening. During rotation, abrasive particles in the polishing fluid are affected by the centrifugal force and flung toward the walls of the polishing tank, preventing them from effectively participating in the part material removal process, resulting in reduced polishing efficiency.

[0007] Chinese patent document CN202310027479.7 discloses a shear thickening polishing device and method for optical lenses. This patent utilizes a combined polishing method using a full-aperture curved polishing head and a sub-aperture spherical polishing head. The polishing heads drive the flow of shear thickening polishing fluid, achieving high-quality polishing of the entire surface of the optical lens. However, this device has a long polishing cycle and requires replacement of the polishing head during the polishing process, resulting in complex operation and low polishing efficiency.

[0008] In the aspheric lens polishing methods disclosed in the above-mentioned documents, contact polishing easily causes surface defects such as pitting and scratches and cannot control the surface accuracy; the non-contact aspheric lens polishing method has problems such as low polishing efficiency and inability to simultaneously perform multi-station processing.

The two connecting columns 42 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the X-axis drive box 2, and an electric push rod 43 is installed on the horizontal beam of the gantry bracket 41. The output end of the electric push rod 43 passes through the lower side of the horizontal beam of the gantry bracket 41 and is fixedly installed with a lifting control box 44; limit slide bars 45 are fixedly installed on both sides of the top of the lifting control box 44, and the two limit slide bars 45 form a sliding fit with the horizontal beam of the gantry bracket 41; a group of polishing spindle devices 443 are provided at the bottom of the lifting control box, and the polishing spindle devices 443 can fix the aspheric lens and drive the aspheric lens to rotate; the polishing spindle devices 443 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the polishing liquid constraint flow channel 12.

[0042] In this embodiment, six polishing spindles 443 are provided, capable of simultaneously polishing six aspheric lenses.

The triangular bracket 4431 allows the polishing spindle device 4433 to be tilted at a certain angle relative to the horizontal plane. (When implementing the present invention, the tilt angle of the rotating shaft 4433 relative to the horizontal plane is preferably 35°-90°, and 55° in the embodiment.)

[0048] In the embodiment, the aspheric lens is polished using an aspheric lens force rheological polishing device, comprising the following steps:

[0049] S1: Use FLUENT simulation to simulate the size and distribution of the surface pressure of the aspheric lens workpiece 5 in the flow field, and use the simulation data to obtain the optimal polishing angle;

[0050] S2: The aspheric lens workpiece 5 is fixed to the bottom end of the connecting tube 4435, and the polishing spindle device 443 is installed on the bottom of the lifting control box at the optimal polishing angle determined in step S1, and then the mechanorheological polishing liquid is injected into the polishing liquid constraint channel 12;

[0051] S3: Using the electric push rod 43, the gap between the aspheric lens workpiece 5 and the polishing liquid confinement flow channel 12 is adjusted to within a set range;

[0052] S4: Start the bottom box drive motor 22 and the workpiece rotation drive motor 4432 to run at the set speed to start polishing; at the same time, start the liquid pump 35;

[0053] S5: After the polishing reaches the set time, stop the bottom box drive motor 22, the workpiece rotation drive motor 4432 and start the liquid pump 35; then use the electric push rod 43 to control the lifting control box 44 to rise and reset, and then remove the aspheric lens workpiece 5, and the polishing is completed.

[0054] In the embodiment, the mechanorheological polishing liquid is composed of abrasive particles, a dispersed phase, a dispersion liquid, an anti-settling agent, and a surfactant. The abrasive particles are cerium oxide abrasive particles with a particle size of 1 μm and a proportion of 6% in the polishing liquid. The dispersed phase is a polyhydroxy polymer, accounting for 48%. The dispersion liquid is pure water and ethylene glycol, with pure water accounting for 38% of the dispersion liquid and ethylene glycol accounting for 4.5% of the dispersion liquid. The anti-settling agent is a titanate coupling agent, accounting for 1.5% of the polishing liquid. The surfactant is sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and sodium octylbenzenesulfonate, accounting for 2% of the polishing liquid.

[0055] In the embodiment, 1 μm cerium oxide abrasive was used to prepare the mechanorheological polishing liquid, the lens was modeled by SolidWorks, and the pressure on the aspheric lens surface in the flow field under mechanorheological polishing was simulated by Fluent software. The laminar flow model was selected, the distance between the lens and the contoured flow channel was 2 mm, the linear velocity of the flow field fluid was given as 1.3 m / s, the solution method adopted the Couple algorithm, and the monitoring residual value was set to 10 -6 , simulate 12 angles from 35° to 90°, and get Figure 8 ; After simulation, the workpiece surface pressure data is exported and obtained Figure 9 The optimal polishing angle for this workpiece is 55°. (In the embodiment, 12 triangular supports 4431 with different angles are prepared. Based on the simulation results, the triangular support 4431 that can make the polishing spindle device form a 55° angle with the horizontal plane is selected.)

[0056] After polishing, the surface roughness Ra value of the lens is measured using a Taylor profilometer in nm. The detection position is as follows: Figure 10 The measurement results are as follows:

[0057]

[0058]

[0059] The experimental results show that the surface roughness is significantly reduced, and the overall surface roughness is below 20nm. The surface roughness at different positions at the same radius is relatively consistent, ensuring the uniformity of the polishing effect. Figure 11 、 12 As shown, the "foggy" surface is obviously removed after polishing, and the surface is smooth and scratch-free.
