Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of ultra-precision polishing, and particularly relates to an electrochemical gradient thickening-vibration micro-motion composite conformal polishing ultra-precision manufacturing method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Micro-structured surface is a kind of micro-structured surface with regular periodic arrangement and can perform multiple special functions such as optical, physical and biological. In recent years, due to the rapid development of optical fiber communication and imaging technology industries, micro components with micro-structured optical functional surfaces (also known as micro-structured optical functional components) have been widely used in micro-optoelectronic and communication products, biomedicine, aerospace and intelligent guidance systems due to their small size, light weight and high integration. For example, the roughness of the surface of the micro-prism structure of the single crystal silicon or silicon carbide spherical / aspherical lens substrate commonly used in infrared optical systems, display backlight module, infrared reflection system of aircraft and satellite must reach nanometer level. However, due to the small structure size, low stiffness and high precision requirements, the traditional polishing technology often faces some limitations. In the past few years, many scholars have been exploring ultra-precision polishing methods suitable for micro-structured surfaces. In order to further optimize the manufacturing efficiency of micro-structured array components and solve the problem of uniform processing of the micro-structured micro-groove surface by abrasive flow in the traditional abrasive jet polishing process, the present application proposes an electrochemical gradient thickening-vibration micro-motion composite conformal ultra-precision manufacturing method and device.

[0003] Electrochemical polishing technology is a kind of surface treatment method for dissolving the anode of metal workpiece in a specific electrochemical polishing liquid environment, thereby reducing the surface roughness, improving the brightness and imparting the metal luster. As a means of metal surface treatment, electrochemical polishing has the following advantages: 1) it can effectively reduce the surface roughness, thereby achieving excellent surface polishing effect; 2) the polishing efficiency is very high, and has no direct relationship with the mechanical properties (such as hardness, toughness, strength, etc.) of the treated material; 3) compared with mechanical polishing equipment, the equipment required for polishing shaped parts is more simple and economical. In the polishing process, the workpiece will not be in contact with the tool (cathode), and there will be no cutting force, heat, burr or tool marks of tool wear.

[0004] It is a difficult problem to maintain the rotating stability of impeller blades, rotors, bearings and the like. Vortex phenomenon is prone to occur in rotating parts due to factors such as system structure itself or external severe interference, resulting in reduced service life or damaged structure. However, the present application utilizes this characteristic to realize microstructure nanopolishing technology, utilizes the excitation micro-motion force perpendicular to the axis generated on the smooth rotor mechanism to induce the rotor to form vortex behavior, so as to achieve efficient conformal removal of materials and control of polishing surface precision

[0005] A complex curved surface part multi-degree-of-freedom ultrasonic electrochemical auxiliary polishing equipment and processing method has been disclosed in a published Chinese invention patent (CN117718551A). The equipment includes a bed body and a five-axis linkage system, a spindle system, a measuring system, a chain tool magazine, a numerical control system and a polishing liquid circulating system installed in the bed body. The tool, the workpiece to be processed and the polishing liquid form a closed loop to constitute an electrochemical system. During the processing, the ultrasonic transducer is turned on, and the polishing liquid circulating system sprays the polishing liquid to the processing position. The workpiece being processed loses electrons as an anode, and under the ultrasonic electrochemical mechanical grinding and polishing coupling effect, the surface material of the workpiece to be processed is removed, the complex curved surface part is ultrasonically electrochemically assisted polished, and a workpiece with good surface quality and low surface roughness is obtained. The present application is fully automatic, and the tool path is controlled by the numerical control system. Compared with the traditional mechanical grinding and polishing, the surface roughness and shape accuracy of the processed part are significantly improved. However, the present patent does not involve the recycling and utilization of electrochemical polishing liquid.

[0006] An ultrasonic vibration and electrochemical auxiliary liquid film shearing high-efficiency polishing device and method has been disclosed in a published Chinese invention patent (CN117584024A). The polishing device includes a polishing tank for containing polishing liquid. The bottom of the polishing tank is provided with a polishing disc, and the polishing disc is arranged on a polishing disc driving spindle. An ultrasonic generator is arranged inside the polishing tank below the polishing disc. A workpiece clamping and driving mechanism is arranged above the polishing tank for clamping and driving the workpiece to rotate. The workpiece clamping and driving mechanism is connected with an adjusting mechanism and can move up and down under the driving of the adjusting mechanism. The polishing tank is connected with the negative electrode of a pulse power supply, and the workpiece clamping and driving mechanism is connected with the positive electrode of the pulse power supply, and a closed loop is formed with the polishing liquid in the polishing tank during polishing. The polishing device combines ultrasonic vibration, electrochemical anodic oxidation and liquid film shearing polishing technologies to polish the workpiece, thereby improving the material removal efficiency and processing uniformity of the workpiece. However, the present patent cannot polish small structure parts, and the type of parts and performance are expected to be further improved.

[0007] A microarray mold conformal polishing method disclosed in Chinese invention patent (CN115401534B) comprises the following steps: a profiling polishing tool head corresponding to the surface shape of a microarray mold is made, abrasive is added between the profiling polishing tool head and the microarray mold, and the microarray mold or the profiling polishing tool head is vibrated at a certain frequency and amplitude through an XY two-dimensional electric moving table. The abrasive between the profiling polishing tool head and the microarray mold produces micro-cutting effect under the relative pressure and relative movement of the two to remove material, thereby removing defects such as knife marks and scratches on the surface of the micro mold. This method can get rid of the limitation of the extremely small size of the feature points of the microarray mold, polish all feature points on the microarray mold at the same time, has high efficiency, and will not damage the surface shape accuracy of the microarray mold, and can achieve high surface shape accuracy and surface quality. However, this patent does not involve electrochemical polishing, and there is still room for improvement in the efficient grinding and polishing of workpieces. SUMMARY
