[0039] The embodiment of the present invention provides a polishing spindle 4, a mounting plate 5 and a polishing plate 1, so that the polishing liquid enters between the workpiece 52 and the polishing plate 1 to form a liquid film. When the mounting plate 5 and the polishing plate 1 rotate relative to each other, the uniformity of the polishing of the workpiece 52 can be improved.

The overall structure is compact, the design is reasonable, and the processing effect is good.

[0040] It should be noted that if Figure 1 As shown, the x-axis direction is the inside-out direction, the y-axis direction is the left-right direction, and the z-axis direction is the up-down direction. The polishing disc 1 is connected to the polishing mechanism, and the polishing disc 1 is independently controlled to rotate.

The x-axis guide rail is arranged in the horizontal direction, and a foot seat 11 is horizontally slidably connected to the x-axis guide rail. The bottom of the column 10 is fixedly connected to the foot seat 11. The two foot seats 11 move horizontally synchronously along the x-axis guide rail, driving the column 10 and the y-axis guide rail to move synchronously.

[0044] By setting the guide rail module 2, the polishing spindle 4 can be controlled to move along the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction, thereby controlling the polishing path to form a specific uniform polishing track.

[0045] Furthermore, the x-axis guide includes a first housing, a lead screw 7 and a first motor 6, and the y-axis guide includes a second housing, a guide rod 8 and a second motor.

[0046] Furthermore, the column 10 is a liftable column.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , 5As shown, the mounting frame 3 includes a C-shaped frame 15, a guide rod 14 and a slotted chuck 12. The C-shaped frame 15 includes an upper end plate, a back plate and a lower end plate. The upper end plate and the lower end plate are arranged in parallel. The back plate is fixedly connected between the upper end plate and the lower end plate to form a C-shaped structure. The housing of the spindle servo motor 17 is installed on the upper end plate. The output shaft of the spindle servo motor 17 vertically penetrates the upper end plate downward. The lower end plate is provided with an opening for the polishing spindle 4 to pass through. A plurality of guide rods 14 are evenly distributed. The slotted chuck 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end plate through the guide rods 14. A linear bearing 13 is slidably connected to each guide rod 14, a stator sleeve 28 is fixedly connected to a non-rotating guide plate 36, all guide rods 14 penetrate the non-rotating guide plate 36 in a vertical direction, and the non-rotating guide plate 36 is fixedly connected to all linear bearings 13 at the penetration point of the guide rod 14, so that the non-rotating guide plate 36 slides along the axial direction of the guide rod 14, and a C-shaped opening is opened from the center to the edge of the slotted chuck 12, so that the stator sleeve 28 can be clamped into the slotted chuck 12 and slide synchronously with the non-rotating guide plate 36 in the vertical direction.

[0048] Furthermore, the non-rotating guide plate 36 and the linear bearing 13 are threadedly connected.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figure 3 , 4 As shown in FIG. 6 , an electric slip ring 45 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 19 , and an electric slip ring fixing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the upper end plate through a screw 16 and a nut 48 , and the outer side of the electric slip ring 45 is mounted on the electric slip ring fixing plate 18 .

[0050] Furthermore, the electric slip ring fixing plate 18 is provided with a semi-open notch structure to facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the electric slip ring 45 .

[0051] In some embodiments, Figure 6As shown, the vertical floating mechanism includes an upper fixed plate 21, a lower fixed plate 26, a floating plate 23, an optical axis 42, an iron core 20, a coil 44 and a permanent magnet 22. A plurality of optical axes 42 are evenly distributed around the edge of the upper fixed plate 21 and connected between the upper fixed plate 21 and the lower fixed plate 26. The upper fixed plate 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting shaft 19. The iron core 20 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper fixed plate 21. The coil 44 is wound around the outer side of the iron core 20. The floating plate 23 is arranged between the upper fixed plate 21 and the lower fixed plate 26. All optical axes 42 pass through the edge of the floating plate 23. Each optical axis 42 is sleeved with an upper spring 43 and a lower spring 40.

The floating plate 23 floats up and down along the axial direction of the optical axis 42. The upper end of the floating plate 23 is fixedly connected to the permanent magnet 22. The iron core 20 is located directly above the permanent magnet 22. The floating plate 23 is fixedly connected to the hollow rotating shaft 31. When high-frequency alternating current is passed through the coil 44, the iron core 20 and the coil 44 generate an alternating force of attraction and repulsion on the permanent magnet 22, driving the floating plate 23 to float up and down along the optical axis 42 and gradually self-balance, thereby driving the mounting plate 5 and the workpiece 52 to vibrate up and down while rotating on the polishing plate 1.

[0052] The electromagnetic module composed of the iron core 20 and the coil 44 is coaxially installed with the permanent magnet 22. When high-frequency alternating current is passed through the coil 44, an alternating force of attraction and repulsion is generated on the permanent magnet 22, thereby generating an axial vibration effect. At the same time, the optical axis 42, the upper spring 43 and the lower spring 40 respectively guide and buffer the vibration of the hollow shaft 31. Under the action of electromagnetic vibration, the liquid film formed between the workpiece 52 and the polishing disc 1 is subjected to high-frequency alternating forces, thereby generating a cavitation effect and promoting the chemical mechanical polishing effect.

[0053] It should be noted that the coil 44 is energized during the rotation process using conventional methods such as carbon brushes.

[0056] A second bearing 55 is connected between the bottom of the stator sleeve 28 and the outer side of the hollow shaft 31. The second bearing 55 includes a second bearing inner ring and a second bearing outer ring. The upper end of the second bearing inner ring is fixedly connected to the lower end of the rotor sleeve 34, the inner side of the second bearing inner ring is fixedly connected to the hollow shaft 31, the second bearing outer ring is fixedly connected to the stator sleeve 28, and the bottom of the stator sleeve 28 is fixedly connected to a bearing end cover 32.

[0057] By providing the fixed sleeve 41 , the transition sleeve 39 and the tension sleeve 37 , the alternating force generated by the electromagnetic module and the permanent magnet 22 is transmitted to the hollow shaft 31 via the fixed sleeve 41 , the transition sleeve 39 and the tension sleeve 37 , thereby generating an axial vibration effect.

[0058] Furthermore, the end cover 25 is fixed to the top of the hollow shaft 31 by means of the plugging screw 24 and the locking nut 38 .

[0059] In some embodiments, Figure 6 As shown, the liquid inlet includes a first liquid inlet and a second liquid inlet, a dynamic sealing ring 29 is connected between the stator sleeve 28 and the rotor sleeve 34 , and a static sealing ring 33 is connected between the rotor sleeve 34 and the hollow rotating shaft 31 .

[0060] The first liquid inlet and the second liquid inlet are used to introduce polishing liquids or chemical additives of different properties.

[0061] Furthermore, the first liquid inlet is connected to the first connector 30 , and the second liquid inlet is connected to the second connector 35 , which makes liquid injection more convenient.

[0062] Furthermore, the rotor sleeve 34 and the side wall of the hollow shaft 31 are both provided with annular grooves, and each annular groove is evenly provided with four radial holes, and the liquid inlet is connected with the annular groove, so that during the rotation of the hollow shaft 31, the polishing liquid is introduced into the vertical through hole of the hollow shaft 31 through the annular groove and the radial holes, thereby effectively entering the polishing area. This design can effectively avoid the problem of reactive polishing liquid becoming ineffective due to excessive reaction and consumption after external mixing.

[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 7-9 As shown, the tray 51 is detachably fixedly connected in the mounting groove 56, and the bottom of the tray 51 is connected to the workpiece 52 by hot melt adhesive.

[0064] When the workpiece 52 is polished, the tray 51 on which the workpiece 52 is attached is taken out from the mounting groove 56 and placed in a heating box or oven for heating to completely melt the hot melt adhesive, thereby separating the workpiece 52 from the tray 51 and then taking the workpiece 52 out.

[0065] Furthermore, one side of the tray 51 is used to stick the workpiece 52, and a threaded column is provided at the center of the other side, which passes through the bottom of the mounting groove 56 and is screwed and fixed by a nut 48, and a gasket 49 is provided between the nut 48 and the mounting groove 56. An elastic gasket 50 is provided between the tray 51 and the mounting groove 56 to provide a buffering effect on the workpiece 52 during the polishing process.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 7 , 8 As shown, a plurality of drainage grooves 53 are provided at the bottom of the mounting plate 5. The drainage grooves 53 are respectively arranged between two adjacent mounting grooves 56 and the two adjacent drainage grooves 53 are interconnected. The drainage grooves 53 are connected to the liquid outlet holes 57. The side walls of the drainage grooves 53 are inclined surfaces 531 inclined toward the bottom of the drainage grooves 53 so as to drain the polishing liquid to the lower surface of the workpiece 52.

[0067] By setting up a drainage groove 53 and designing the inner wall of the drainage groove 53 as an inclined surface 531, on the one hand, it is convenient to drain the polishing liquid along the inclined surface 531 to the lower surface of the workpiece 52; on the other hand, since the groove body is located between two adjacent mounting grooves 56 and the center position of the mounting plate 5, the contact surface area between the mounting plate 5 and the polishing plate 1 is reduced, thereby increasing the squeezing force of the polishing plate 1 on the workpiece 52, thereby improving the polishing efficiency.

[0068] like Fig.10 As shown, another embodiment of the present invention provides an electromagnetic vibration cavitation assisted chemical mechanical polishing method, using the above chemical mechanical polishing device, including the following steps:

[0069] S1, install the workpiece 52 to be polished at the bottom of the mounting plate 5, adjust the installation height of the y-axis guide rail on the column 10 to obtain the best initial machining gap, and introduce polishing liquid from the liquid inlet so that a liquid film exists in the machining gap between the workpiece 52 and the polishing plate 1;

[0070] S2, start the power supply of the polishing disc 1 and the spindle servo motor 17 of the polishing spindle 4, so that the polishing disc 1 and the mounting disc 5 rotate relative to each other, input high-frequency alternating current to the coil 44, so that the workpiece 52 performs high-frequency axial vibration relative to the polishing disc 1, so that the polishing liquid between the workpiece 52 and the polishing disc 1 produces cavitation effect;

[0071] S3, respectively start the motors of the x-axis guide and the y-axis guide, so that the polishing spindle 4 reciprocates in the x-axis and y-axis directions, and use the PLC control module to make each motor move according to a given rule, so that the polishing track is more uniform, and finally the surface quality of the workpiece 52 meets the standard.

[0072] The method of the embodiment of the present invention can make the polishing liquid enter between the workpiece 52 and the polishing disc 1 to form a liquid film, and when the mounting disc 5 and the polishing disc 1 rotate relative to each other, the uniformity of the polishing of the workpiece 52 can be improved. And when the mounting disc 5 and the polishing disc 1 rotate relative to each other, the workpiece 52 is axially vibrated relative to the polishing disc 1, thereby improving the polishing efficiency.
