Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of packaged window lenses, and in particular to an ultra-precision infrared detector packaged window lens and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The ultra-precision infrared detector package window lens is a key component of the infrared detector. It mainly protects the sensitive components inside the infrared detector, while allowing infrared radiation of a specific band to pass through, just like a special "window" that allows the infrared detector to accurately receive and detect infrared signals emitted by the target object. In thermal imaging equipment in the military field, the window lens enables the detector to work normally in complex environments, prevents dust, water vapor and other impurities from damaging the core components of the detector, and ensures that the infrared signal can be efficiently transmitted to the sensing element of the detector.

[0003] In the process of producing ultra-precision infrared detector packaging window lenses, special attention should be paid to the air mixed in the glass material, and the air should be effectively separated to ensure the quality of the glass. To this end, we propose an ultra-precision infrared detector packaging window lens and a preparation method thereof. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the shortcomings of the prior art and to propose an ultra-precision infrared detector packaging window lens and a preparation method thereof.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0006] An ultra-precision infrared detector package window lens, comprising the following components by mass percentage:

[0007] Silicon dioxide 70-80%, boron trioxide 10-15%, aluminum oxide 2-5%, flux 5-10%, clarifier 1-2%, decolorizer 0.01%-0.5%, modifying additive 0-2%.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the co-solvent is sodium carbonate or potassium carbonate.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the clarifier is sodium nitrate or sodium chloride.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the decolorizing agent is cerium dioxide or antimony trioxide.

[0011] A method for preparing an ultra-precision infrared detector packaging window lens comprises the following steps:

[0012] Step S1, raw material selection and pretreatment: according to the formula requirements, high-purity silicon dioxide, boron trioxide, aluminum oxide, flux, clarifier, decolorant, and modifying additives are selected, and the raw materials are crushed into particles with a mesh size of 200 to increase the specific surface area, improve the reaction activity and melting speed, and dry the raw materials to remove moisture to prevent the moisture from evaporating and generating bubbles in the subsequent glass melting process, which affects the quality of the produced glass;

[0013] Step S2, mixing and stirring: putting the selected raw materials with good proportions into a mixing device, mixing and stirring to make the raw material particles evenly distributed and ensure the consistency of the glass components. The mixing time is 5-20 hours;

[0014] Step S3, melting treatment: Put the mixed raw materials into a glass melting furnace for melting. The glass melting furnace adopts a pool furnace or a crucible furnace. In the furnace, the raw materials gradually melt under the action of high temperature. As the temperature rises, the sodium oxide and potassium oxide produced by the decomposition of flux such as sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate react with network formers such as silicon dioxide to destroy the silicon-oxygen network structure, causing the raw materials to begin to melt. As the temperature further increases, other components such as boron trioxide are gradually integrated into the glass liquid to form a uniform glass melt. During the melting process, the temperature is maintained at 1500℃-1700℃, and the melting time is 5-15h;

[0015] Step S3, clarification and homogenization treatment: the glass melt is transferred to the interior of the homogenization treatment device, and a clarifier is added to the melted glass liquid through the structure inside the homogenization device, and the clarifier is fully in contact with the glass melt. During the clarification process, the gas generated by the decomposition of the clarifiers such as sodium nitrate and sodium chloride forms bubble nuclei in the glass liquid, and gradually grows and rises, bringing small bubbles in the glass liquid out of the liquid surface, thereby achieving the purpose of removing bubbles and improving the clarity of the glass. The clarified glass melt is homogenized by the device to ensure the uniformity of the internal composition and temperature, thereby providing a guarantee for the quality of the subsequent finished product;

[0016] Step S4, molding: guiding the processed glass melt into the mold, and performing molding operations by blowing, pressing, drawing, casting, etc. according to the requirements;

[0017] Step S5, annealing treatment: placing the formed glass product in an annealing furnace, slowly heating it to a certain temperature, and then keeping it at this temperature for a period of time to adjust the internal structure of the glass and relax the internal stress. The annealing temperature is 500°C-700°C, and the insulation time is 3-10h.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the homogenization treatment device in step S3 includes an external cover shell, the top and bottom ends of the external cover shell are both provided with openings, and a guide cover head is installed at the top opening, and a negative pressure vacuum machine and a material guide pipe are connected and arranged on the guide cover head, and the negative pressure vacuum machine is used to perform vacuum treatment on the inside of the external cover shell, so as to facilitate the extraction of internal air during the clarification and homogenization process, facilitate the precipitation of bubbles in the glass melt, and improve the bubble precipitation efficiency;

[0019] A homogenizing and clarifying assembly for clarifying and homogenizing the glass melt is arranged inside the outer cover, so that the glass melt can be effectively shaken after being placed inside the homogenizing and clarifying assembly, the contact frequency between the clarifier and the internal bubbles can be increased, and the effective homogenization of the glass melt can be achieved.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, the homogenization and clarification assembly includes a deflection container, a feed port is provided at the top of the deflection container, and the feed port is adapted to the top opening of the external cover shell, a meshing external gear is provided at the middle of the outer side of the deflection container, a bonding sheet is uniformly slidably bonded to the outer side of the deflection container, and a connecting rod fixedly connected to the inner wall of the external cover shell is connected to the side of the bonding sheet to ensure the stability of the deflection container inside the external cover shell;

[0021] The homogenization and clarification assembly also includes a servo motor fixedly mounted on one side of the inner part of the outer cover, and the output shaft of the servo motor is coaxially connected with a driving gear meshing with the meshing outer gear, which is used to stably drive the deflection container to rotate, thereby driving the internal glass melt material to shake, and facilitating homogenization and clarification processing;

[0022] An adjusting screw is coaxially connected to the end of the driving gear, and the outer thread of the adjusting screw is matched with a threaded ring. A guide rod is fixedly connected to one side of the threaded ring, and a guide groove parallel to the adjusting screw is opened on the inner wall of the external cover shell for stable sliding of the guide rod. The top of the guide rod is connected to a trigger piece through a bent rod, and touch controllers adapted to the trigger piece are installed at both ends of the guide groove inside the external cover shell. The touch controller is electrically connected to the servo motor, so as to control the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor, so as to realize the driving gear to drive the deflection container to swing back and forth within a certain angle range, thereby realizing effective clarification and homogenization of the internal glass melt.

[0023] As a preferred technical solution of the present application, a plurality of groups of heating tubes are evenly arranged inside the deflection container to maintain the glass melt inside the deflection container during the clarification and homogenization process, to avoid solidification caused by temperature drop, and to ensure the clarification and homogenization effects;

[0024] The bottom end of the deflection container is provided with two sets of stepped openings, and closed baffles are installed at the openings. The bottom end of the closed baffle is connected to a telescopic rod inserted on the opening steps of the deflection container, and a spring is sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod to facilitate resetting and tightening;

[0025] Two groups of push rod motors are installed on the outside of the external cover shell. The output shaft of the push rod motor is directed downward and is installed with a connecting bent rod. The end of the connecting bent rod is connected to the same group of drainage top plates. The drainage top plates are inserted into the bottom opening of the external cover shell, and there are two groups of lifting parts corresponding to the closed baffle at the top of the drainage top plates, which facilitate the operation of the push rod motor to drive the drainage top plates to rise, realize the lifting of the closed baffle, and then facilitate the internal glass melt to fall in the gap between the closed baffle and the deflection container. In the process of falling, the glass melt can slide along the drainage top plates, further expanding the contact surface, realizing the precipitation of internal bubbles, and further improving the bubble elimination effect of the glass melt.

[0026] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0027] 1. The window lens produced by the above formula has a high melting point and softening point due to its high silica content, and can be used in high temperature environments, and has good thermal shock resistance, high strength and high toughness. In addition, due to the large content of silica and boron trioxide, the overall glass has good corrosion resistance and high transparency. In the preparation process, the refractive index can be adjusted to a certain extent by adjusting the content of boron trioxide to meet the needs of different optical applications.

[0028] 2. During the preparation process, the addition of co-solvents effectively reduces the melting point and viscosity, reduces production costs, and improves production efficiency;

[0029] 3. In the actual glass production process, after the glass melt is transferred to the homogenization and clarification component through the setting of the homogenization and clarification device, the internal glass melt is shaken back and forth inside the homogenization and clarification component with the help of the setting of the homogenization and clarification component, so as to achieve effective homogenization and mixing treatment. In this process, the clarifier and the melt can also effectively interact with each other to precipitate the gas mixed in the glass melt during the production process. With the help of the setting of the negative pressure vacuum machine above, the interior of the homogenization and clarification component is vacuumed to further realize the precipitation of bubbles and improve the purity of the proportional melt.

[0030] 4. By setting the drainage top piece cooperating with the homogenizing and clarifying component below, the homogenizing and clarifying component can be effectively controlled during the actual material guiding, and the glass melt can flow along the drainage top piece with a larger area after being guided out, thereby expanding its deployment area and better allowing the air in the glass melt used for molding to precipitate, thereby further improving the purity of the final produced glass and meeting actual usage needs.

[0031] In summary, the packaged window lens proposed in the present invention has good physical and chemical properties, and can also conveniently and quickly improve production efficiency, thereby achieving the effect of reducing costs and increasing efficiency. In the actual production process, through the effective setting of the homogenization treatment device, the purity of the glass melt used for glass production is improved, and the bubble precipitation efficiency therein is greatly improved, thereby ensuring the purity of the glass produced subsequently and meeting the subsequent actual use needs.

5. A method for preparing the ultra-precision infrared detector package window lens according to any one of claims 1 to 4, characterized in that: The following steps are involved: Step S1, raw material selection and pretreatment: according to the formula requirements, high-purity silicon dioxide, boron trioxide, aluminum oxide, flux, clarifier, decolorant, and modifying additives are selected, and the raw materials are crushed into particles with a mesh size of 200 to increase the specific surface area, improve the reaction activity and melting speed, and dry the raw materials to remove moisture to prevent the moisture from evaporating and generating bubbles in the subsequent glass melting process, which affects the quality of the produced glass; Step S2, mixing and stirring: putting the selected raw materials with good proportions into a mixing device, mixing and stirring to make the raw material particles evenly distributed and ensure the consistency of the glass components. The mixing time is 5-20 hours; Step S3, melting treatment: Put the mixed raw materials into a glass melting furnace for melting. The glass melting furnace adopts a pool furnace or a crucible furnace. In the furnace, the raw materials gradually melt under the action of high temperature. As the temperature rises, the sodium oxide and potassium oxide produced by the decomposition of the flux sodium carbonate and potassium carbonate react with the silicon dioxide network former to destroy the silicon oxygen network structure and make the raw materials begin to melt. As the temperature further increases, the boron trioxide component gradually melts into the glass liquid to form a uniform glass melt.

During the clarification process, the gas generated by the decomposition of the clarifiers sodium nitrate and sodium chloride forms bubble nuclei in the glass liquid, and gradually grows and rises, bringing small bubbles in the glass liquid out of the liquid surface, thereby achieving the purpose of removing bubbles and improving the clarity of the glass. The clarified glass melt is homogenized by the device to ensure the uniformity of internal components and temperature, thereby providing a guarantee for the quality of the subsequent finished product; Step S4, molding: guiding the processed glass melt into the mold, and performing molding operation by pressing method according to the demand; Step S5, annealing treatment: placing the formed glass product in an annealing furnace, slowly heating it to a certain temperature, and then keeping it at this temperature for a period of time to adjust the internal structure of the glass and relax the internal stress.
