[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the present disclosure to clearly describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments in the present disclosure are within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0016] The terms "first", "second", etc. in the specification and claims of the present disclosure are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that the data used in this way can be interchanged where appropriate, so that the present disclosure can be implemented in an order other than those illustrated or described herein, and the objects distinguished by "first", "second", etc. are generally of one type, and the number of objects is not limited. For example, the first object can be one or more. The technical solution in the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the present disclosure.

[0017] With the development of science and technology, workpieces have higher requirements for workpiece positioning accuracy. Excellent workpiece positioning accuracy and processing distance can ensure that the concentricity deviation error between the laser processing point and the workpiece itself is small, making the workpiece positioning accuracy within 5 microns or even within 3 microns. Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of an exemplary workpiece processing position. For example, when a concentric hole needs to be processed on a circular workpiece 101, the center position of the circular workpiece 101 needs to be measured at the positioning point A. Figure 1 The dotted line in the middle shows the center position of the circular workpiece 101. Then the circular workpiece 101 is moved to the processing point B, as shown in FIG. Figure 1The position of the circular workpiece 101 shown by the solid line. A concentric circle 102 is processed based on the center position of the circular workpiece 101 shown by the solid line. During the workpiece processing process, the positioning accuracy of the workpiece itself and the relative position difference between the positioning point and the processing point, that is, the accurate control of the processing distance D, are key links in the workpiece processing process, which will directly affect the processing accuracy and finished product yield of the workpiece. In some examples, the processing distance D can be described based on the machine tool coordinate system. For example, the coordinate axis of the machine tool coordinate system is set to be consistent with the moving axis of the machine tool, and the X-axis of the machine tool coordinate system is defined as the horizontal axis direction of the machine tool, and the workbench or tool head of the machine tool moves left and right along the horizontal axis. The Y-axis of the machine tool coordinate system is perpendicular to the X-axis and basically consistent with the longitudinal axis of the machine tool. The workbench or tool head of the machine tool moves forward and backward along the longitudinal axis. The Z-axis of the machine tool coordinate system is perpendicular to the XY plane, and the workbench or tool head of the machine tool moves up and down along this axis. The origin of the machine tool coordinate system is at a fixed position of the machine tool, and all other positions are determined relative to this origin. In the machine tool coordinate system, such as Figure 1 As shown, the processing distance D can be described by the processing distance transverse component Dx and the processing distance longitudinal component Dy.

[0018] The movement of the workpiece on the machine tool table is assisted by the machine tool moving axis. Due to the insufficient accuracy of the machine tool moving axis or the error in verticality, when the workpiece is moved from the positioning point to the processing point, there will be an error in the processing distance, making the workpiece processing positioning accuracy fail to meet the requirements. Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure provides a method for laser processing distance calibration, which can compensate for the processing distance when the workpiece moves without increasing the cost of the machine tool, and perform high-precision movement control of the workpiece from the positioning point to the processing point. The method includes steps S201 to S203.

[0019] S201: machining a first test hole at a first position of a calibration piece, and moving the calibration piece so that the first test hole coincides with a positioning point, so as to obtain a first calibration position and a machining distance of the first test hole, wherein the machining distance is a position difference between the first position and the first calibration position; The calibration piece in the present disclosure is a test piece used to measure processing distance, surface flatness, and uniform thickness. The first test hole is processed at the first position of the calibration piece, and the first position can be the center position of the first test hole. The positioning point is a position on the machine tool used to measure the workpiece or the test hole to obtain the calibration position of the workpiece or the test hole, such as the geometric center point as the calibration position. For the test hole being a circular hole, the center point of the circular hole is usually used as the calibration position of the circular hole. The first calibration position of the first test hole can be the position of the center point of the first test hole measured at the positioning point. The processing distance is the position difference between the first position and the first calibration position.

[0020] S202: machining a second test hole at a second position of the calibration piece, moving the calibration piece based on the machining distance, and obtaining a second calibration position of the second test hole, wherein the first test hole and the second test hole have the same shape and size; The second test hole has the same shape and size as the first test hole. The second position is marked in the same way as the first position, and can be the center position of the second test hole. The second test hole is processed at the second position of the calibration piece, and the second test hole cannot completely overlap with the first test hole on the calibration piece, and the relative distance between the two should not affect the measurement of the calibration position of the second test hole. Take the test hole as a circular hole as an example, that is, the distance between the first position and the second position is greater than the radius of the first test hole or the second test hole, so as to ensure that the measurement of the center point of the second test hole is not affected. In some examples, the distance between the first position and the second position is greater than the sum of the radii of the first test hole and the second test hole, so that there is no overlapping part between the contours of the first test hole and the second test hole. After processing the second test hole, the calibration piece is moved according to the processing distance, and the second calibration position of the second test hole is measured. The second calibration position of the second test hole can be the position of the center point of the second test hole. It should be noted that although S202 moves according to the processing distance measured in step S201, due to the existence of movement control errors, there is a certain difference between the actual movement distance and the processing distance measured in step S201, which leads to an error in the distance between the first calibrated position relative to the first position and the distance between the second calibrated position relative to the second position.

[0021] S203: Compensating the processing distance according to the relative position difference between the first calibrated position and the second calibrated position.

[0022] It should be noted that the processing distance is compensated according to the relative position difference between the first calibration position and the second calibration position. Specifically, since there is an error between the distance of the first calibration position relative to the first position and the distance of the second calibration position relative to the second position, it can be understood that there is a difference between the position difference of the second calibration position relative to the first calibration position and the position difference of the second position relative to the first position, so the processing distance can be compensated according to the difference. Specifically, the lateral component of the processing distance can be compensated by the lateral deviation between the first calibration position and the second calibration position, and the longitudinal component of the processing distance can be compensated by the lateral deviation between the first calibration position and the second calibration position.

[0023] It should also be noted that there may be multiple second test holes, and the above operation is repeated for each second test hole to complete multiple compensations of the processing distance, thereby obtaining a higher processing distance calibration accuracy.

[0024] It can be understood that due to the error in the movement process of the calibration part, the deviation in the movement process is compensated according to the deviation between the measured relative position of the second calibration position and the first calibration position relative to the relative position of the second position and the first position, so as to improve the calibration accuracy of the processing distance without improving the measurement accuracy of the machine tool, and further achieve the processing accuracy of the workpiece. Since the calibration process of the processing distance is carried out on the machine tool, it avoids disassembling and assembling the workpiece from the machine tool multiple times, saves the time of the disassembly and assembly process, avoids the introduction of errors caused by disassembly and assembly, simplifies the calibration process, and shortens the calibration process time of the processing distance.

[0025] For the above technical solution, in some examples, the first calibrated position of the first test hole is obtained, and the first calibrated position of the first test hole can be measured by a contact probe.

[0026] The contact probe measuring device has a high-precision trigger probe that can reach below the micron level, with high flexibility and accuracy. The contact measuring device obtains the edge contour of the workpiece through the contact probe and the surface of the workpiece at multiple points, calculates the machine tool coordinates of the center position of the workpiece, and completes the positioning of the workpiece itself. Specifically, there is a closed active circuit inside the probe, which can be connected to a special trigger mechanism. When the probe produces a small swing, it will cause the circuit state to change and send out an acoustic and optical signal to indicate the working state of the probe. The core principle is that there is a highly sensitive switch sensor in the contact measuring device. When the probe contacts the workpiece itself, the sensor sends a switch signal, which is transmitted to the control system. The control system processes the data in the grating counter and finally transmits it to the measurement software. In actual measurement, since the calibration piece has a certain thickness, the first test hole has a certain depth. The contact probe can be installed on the Z axis of the machine tool and move up and down inside the test hole, so that the circular hole can be measured at different depths of the test hole. Taking the test hole as a circular hole as an example, the contact probe is inserted into the test hole to a certain depth, the edge of the first test hole is touched at this depth, the edge contour of the circular hole is drawn, and the center position of the circular hole is further calculated. The use of contact probes to measure the workpiece positioning in machine tool processing makes the positioning accuracy of the workpiece itself higher.

[0027] In some examples, for the above technical solution, to obtain the first calibration position of the first test hole, the target detection depth with the highest repeatability accuracy can be first determined on the calibration piece, and then the first test hole is detected based on the target detection depth to obtain the first calibration position. Similarly, to obtain the second calibration position of the second test hole, the second test hole can also be detected based on the target detection depth to obtain the second calibration position.

[0028] It should be noted that, since the probe is spherical, there may be a large deviation when detecting the geometric center of the test hole at a depth close to both ends of the test hole. Therefore, selecting an appropriate depth to detect the geometric center coordinates of the test hole can improve the positioning accuracy of the test hole. In the present disclosure, the repeatability accuracy is used to describe the consistency and stability of the geometric center coordinates of the test hole measured multiple times at a certain depth in the test hole, and the degree of deviation of the geometric center coordinates measured multiple times can be used for evaluation. By screening the depth that meets the preset conditions of repeatability accuracy as the target detection depth, for example, selecting the candidate detection depth with the highest repeatability accuracy to detect the calibration position of the test hole, the measurement accuracy of the calibration position of the test hole can be improved.

[0029] In some examples, to determine the target detection depth with the highest repeatability positioning accuracy on the calibration piece, multiple candidate detection depths can be first selected according to a set step size in any test hole on the calibration piece; at each candidate detection depth, multiple positionings are performed, and the repeatability positioning accuracy of each candidate detection depth is determined; and the candidate detection depth with the highest repeatability positioning accuracy is used as the target detection depth.

[0030] It should be noted that the test hole used to select the target detection depth can be the first test hole or any test hole on the calibration piece. When selecting the target detection depth, the detection depth can be sampled from one end of the test hole according to the set step length to obtain the candidate detection depth. For each candidate detection depth, the center coordinates of the test hole are detected multiple times at the candidate detection depth, and the repeat positioning accuracy is calculated based on the multiple detection results. The candidate detection depth with the highest repeat positioning accuracy is selected as the target detection depth. In some examples, the thickness of the calibration piece can be selected to match the probe diameter to reduce the number of candidate detection depths, reduce the determination time of the target detection depth, and thus improve the calibration efficiency of the processing distance. For example, when the probe diameter is 0.5mm, a calibration piece with a thickness of 1mm can be selected and the step length is set to 0.1mm. It can be understood that the size of the test hole is related to the number of touches when the geometric center coordinates of the test hole are detected each time. The larger the test hole, the more touches are required to draw the outline of the test hole, and the longer the positioning time is. Therefore, in some examples, the size of the test hole matches the probe diameter to avoid making the center positioning process of the test hole too time-consuming. For example, for a probe with a diameter of 0.5 mm, when the test hole is a circular hole, the diameter of the circular hole can be selected to be 2 mm or 2.3 mm.

[0031] for Figure 2 In the technical solution shown, in some examples, a second test hole is machined at a second position of the calibration piece. In some examples, the calibration piece can be moved along a first coordinate axis of a horizontal movement axis of a machine tool based on the first position to select a second position, and then a second test hole is machined at the second position.

[0032] On the calibration piece, based on the first position, the first coordinate axis of the horizontal movement axis of the machine tool is moved to select the second position. It can be understood that the second position can be selected based on the first position along the X-axis movement of the machine tool coordinate axis, such as Figure 3 The second test hole 302 shown along the X-axis direction is selected based on the position of the first test hole 301 along the X-axis; it can also be selected based on the first position along the Y-axis of the machine tool coordinate axis, such as Figure 3 The position of the second test hole 303 shown along the Y-axis direction is selected based on the position of the first test hole 301 along the Y-axis.

[0033] In some examples, compensating the processing distance according to the relative position difference between the first calibrated position and the second calibrated position includes: Compensating the machining distance according to the difference between the coordinate values ​​of the first calibrated position and the second calibrated position on the second coordinate axis of the machine tool coordinate system; The second coordinate axis and the first coordinate axis share the same origin and are arranged vertically.

[0034] It is understandable that, ideally, when the second position is selected based on the first position along the X-axis movement of the machine tool coordinate axis, the first position and the second position have the same Y-axis value in the coordinates of the machine tool coordinate axis, and accordingly, ideally, the Y value of the first calibrated position is the same as that of the second calibrated position. However, when the accuracy of the machine tool moving axis is not enough, there is a deviation between the Y value of the first calibrated position and the second calibrated position, and the processing distance can be compensated based on the deviation to make up for the problem that the machine tool moving axis is not vertical. Similarly, it is understandable that when the second position is selected based on the first position along the Y-axis movement of the machine tool coordinate axis, the processing distance can be compensated by the X value deviation between the first calibrated position and the second calibrated position. The second position is selected by moving along the first coordinate axis of the horizontal moving axis of the machine tool based on the first position, and the processing distance is compensated according to the difference in coordinate values ​​between the first calibrated position and the second calibrated position on the second coordinate axis along the machine tool coordinate system. The processing distance is compensated in one direction each time, which simplifies the calibration process, avoids compensating for both the X-axis direction and the Y-axis direction of the processing distance in one compensation, avoids back and forth adjustments, and improves the calibration efficiency.

[0035] For the above example, the method further includes: determining an offset between the first position and the second position; and compensating the processing distance based on the offset.

[0036] It should be noted that since the second position is selected based on the movement axis of the first position along the machine tool coordinate system, due to the machine tool movement accuracy problem, the actual offset between the second position and the first position also deviates from the expected offset. Therefore, based on the offset compensation processing distance, the offset between the first position and the second position can be measured with high precision, and the difference between the offset and the theoretical control distance can be calculated to compensate for the processing distance.

[0037] In some examples, determining the offset between the first position and the second position includes: obtaining a first coordinate of the first position in a calibration part coordinate system, and a second coordinate of the second position in the calibration part coordinate system; taking the coordinate difference between the first coordinate and the second coordinate as the offset; wherein the coordinate axes of the calibration part coordinate system and the machine tool coordinate system have the same direction.

[0038] Specifically, the calibration coordinate axis with the same direction as the machine tool coordinate axis can be marked on the calibration piece, and the intersection of the coordinate axes is the origin, such as Figure 4 As shown, the X' axis of the calibration part coordinate system corresponds to the X axis of the machine tool coordinate system, and the Y' axis of the calibration part coordinate system corresponds to the Y axis of the machine tool coordinate system. Remove the calibration part, obtain the first coordinate of the first position in the calibration part coordinate system, and the second coordinate of the second position in the calibration part coordinate system through the two-dimensional measuring instrument, and use the coordinate difference between the first coordinate and the second coordinate as the offset. By analyzing the difference between the offset and the expected offset, the processing distance is compensated. For example, the expected offset between the first position and the second position is , the actual offset between the first position and the second position is measured with high precision. ,according to Compensate for machining distance.

[0039] It should be noted that the coordinates of the first position and the second position in the calibration part coordinate system can be measured by a two-dimensional measuring instrument. The two-dimensional measuring instrument converts the optical signal into a digital signal to record the image and the grating scale to record the displacement parameters through a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) optical sensor, and then uses the processing software to draw and measure according to the recorded data, with high measurement accuracy. When measuring the calibration part by a two-dimensional measuring instrument, the calibration part is removed from the machine tool, and the coordinate values ​​of the first position and the second position in the calibration part coordinate system are measured by the two-dimensional measuring instrument, and then the relative position difference is calculated as the offset. The processing distance is compensated by the difference between the relative position difference in the calibration part coordinate system and the expected offset.

[0040] For the above example, when the second position is selected based on the first position moving along the first coordinate axis of the machine tool coordinate system, it can be understood that the first coordinate axis of the machine tool coordinate system is set corresponding to the first coordinate axis of the calibration part coordinate system, and the processing distance can be compensated according to the difference between the first position and the second position on the second coordinate axis of the calibration part coordinate system.

[0041] It can be understood that when the second position is selected based on the first position along the Y-axis movement of the machine tool coordinate system, the processing distance can be compensated by the difference between the first position and the second position based on the X'-axis value of the calibration part coordinate system. When the second position is selected based on the first position along the X-axis movement of the machine tool coordinate system, the processing distance can be compensated by the difference between the first position and the second position based on the Y'-axis value of the calibration part coordinate system. By compensating for the processing distance with higher-precision measurement by the two-dimensional measuring instrument, the calibration accuracy of the processing distance can be improved without improving the measurement accuracy of the machine tool. Since the calibration part needs to be removed from the machine tool workbench for measurement using a two-dimensional measuring instrument, it will inevitably lead to an increase in the complexity of the operation. The present disclosure can achieve a higher calibration accuracy and shorten the calibration process of the processing distance by performing a preliminary calibration of the processing distance based on the machine tool and compensating again using the two-dimensional measuring instrument.

[0042] The above method is described below through an embodiment. Select a calibration piece with a flat surface and a thickness of 1mm, and process a 2.3mm non-tapered circular hole under the laser processing equipment. Move the calibration piece under the contact probe, put the probe into the inner circle, touch the edge of the circular hole at multiple points to simulate the contour of the circular hole, and calculate the machine tool coordinates of the center point of the circular hole. When the probe is inserted from the surface of the circular hole, select every 0.1mm drop in the Z axis as a candidate detection depth, measure the circular hole at each candidate detection depth, and fit the machine tool coordinates of the center point of the circular hole. Perform multiple measurements for each candidate detection depth, calculate the repeatability accuracy corresponding to each candidate detection depth, and select the candidate detection depth with the highest repeatability accuracy as the target detection depth of the contact device probe.

[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, another calibration sheet 31 with a flat surface and a thickness of 1 mm is selected, and a round straight hole with a diameter of 2.3 mm is processed under the laser processing equipment, as shown in the first test hole 301 marked by the solid line in the figure, and the machine tool coordinates are recorded to obtain the first position Move it under the contact probe, and the calibration piece 31 moves to the position as shown in Figure 3 The first test hole 301 is moved to the position shown by the dotted line 31'. Figure 3 The probe is inserted into the circular hole according to the target detection depth confirmed in the previous step, and the machine tool coordinates of the center point of the circular hole shown in 301' are calculated by the probe touching the circular hole to obtain the first calibration position. , the first calibration position is subtracted from the first position to obtain the processing distance Then, the first calibration position is moved in the reverse direction to the machine tool processing point according to the processing distance, and then based on the position of the first test hole 301, a 2.3 mm round straight hole is processed by moving 3 mm along X. Figure 3 The second test hole 302 along the X-axis direction is shown, and the recorded machine tool coordinates are Based on the position of the first test hole 301, a 2.3 mm round straight hole is processed by moving 3 mm along the Y direction, that is, Figure 3 As shown in the second test hole 303 along the Y-axis direction, the recorded machine tool coordinates are The calibration piece is moved according to the processing distance, and the second test hole 302 along the X-axis direction reaches Figure 3 The position indicated by the dotted line 302' is reached along the Y-axis direction by the second test hole 303. Figure 3 The dotted line in the middle indicates the position 303'. According to the target detection depth, the probe is inserted into the circular hole to measure the machine tool coordinate points of the center of the circles indicated by 302' and 303' respectively. , .pass right To compensate through right It should be noted that the above compensation process can be performed multiple times to adjust the processing distance. Multiple compensation.

[0044] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, a laser is used to process a calibration plate 31 with a calibration plate coordinate axis X' and a calibration plate coordinate axis in the same direction as the machine tool coordinate axis. After the calibration plate is removed, the center coordinates of the first test hole 301, the second test hole 302 along the X-axis direction, and the second test hole 303 along the Y-axis direction in the calibration plate coordinate system are measured by a two-dimensional measuring instrument. , , , calculate and Difference compensation ,calculate and Difference compensation , through multiple compensation, to achieve , Or controlled within the expected accuracy.

[0045] Furthermore, the processing distance after the above compensation is completed is verified by processing the workpiece to ensure the workpiece processing accuracy requirements. A test workpiece is selected and fixed on the machine tool, and the contact probe Z axis is lowered to the optimal depth to measure the outer circle contour, and the machine tool coordinates of the center of the test workpiece are calculated. Move to the laser processing head according to the completed compensated processing distance, and then process a cross and a circular ring parallel to the machine tool coordinate axis in the center of the workpiece. Measure whether the concentric distance between the circular ring and the outer circle of the workpiece meets the requirements, for example, less than 3 microns. If less than 3 microns, then start formal workpiece processing. If it is greater than 3 microns, it is necessary to judge the deviation value of X / Y and compensate for the processing distance, so that the concentric distance of the two circles is less than 3 microns.

[0046] Through the above method, the processing distance is compensated by the relative position deviation between the first calibration position and the second calibration position to compensate for the offset of the moving axis during the movement process, thereby improving the calibration accuracy of the processing distance without improving the accuracy of the moving axis of the machine tool, and shortening the calibration process of the processing distance. Taking full advantage of the high-precision and high-sensitivity contact probe, the offset measurement of the first position and the second position by the two-dimensional measuring instrument is used to further optimize the processing distance, so that the workpiece processing positioning accuracy on the laser processing equipment is within 3 microns, and the positioning accuracy is reduced.
