Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to deep hole inner surface detection technology, in particular to a method for detecting the inner surface topography and roughness of a complex structure. Background Art
[0002] Inner surfaces with complex structures usually contain areas that are difficult to reach with conventional tools. These structures typically have small apertures, large depth-to-diameter ratios, variable inner diameters, and multiple cross-channels, etc., which pose further challenges to the measurement of the inner surface. Existing high-precision global measurement methods such as confocal microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and scanning electron microscopes are only applicable to the measurement of outer surfaces due to their large equipment size and complex optical circuits.
[0003] For the non-destructive measurement of the inner surface roughness of parts, the touch probe method, the optical interference method, and the replication method are usually adopted. The first two methods are applicable to the measurement of the inner surface of workpieces with large inner diameters. For the measurement of the inner surface of workpieces with small inner diameters, their accessibility is limited. The replication method is to coat a replication material with a certain fluidity on the workpiece surface to ensure that it fills the microstructures of the surface to be measured under the influence of gravity or extrusion pressure. Once the replication material solidifies, the replica of the surface morphology can be demolded. Then, the replica is measured and processed to indirectly obtain the original morphology information.
[0004] Chinese Patent CN 108663012 A discloses a method for detecting the inner wall micro-topography and roughness of a gap. This method shrinks and inserts a flexible mechanism with a measurement film into the gap; the flexible mechanism is controlled by a controller to expand, so that the measurement film is effectively combined with the measured surface, and the measurement film extracts the inner wall micro-topography and surface roughness information by replication; the flexible mechanism is controlled to shrink and exit from the gap entrance, and numerical measurement is carried out through a surface topography measuring instrument. The invention can effectively solve the problem of measuring the inner wall micro-topography and surface roughness of a gap with a narrow entrance size; the method is simple and easy to implement, the operation is simple, the equipment is easy to carry, the cost is low, and the measurement accuracy is relatively high. However, affected by the control of the measurement film and the expansion force of the flexible mechanism, the stability of the replication of the inner surface still needs to be improved, which in turn affects the measurement accuracy.
[0005] Chinese Patent CN 114018662 A discloses a non-destructive testing method for the surface topography and roughness of deep holes. A glue extruder is used to extrude a mixed glue. After the A glue and the B glue are fully mixed and stirred through a mixing glue nozzle, they are extruded onto the surface of the inner cavity of the complex structure at the working temperature and within the working time. The fully stirred mixed glue automatically reacts and cures into an elastic colloid in a short time, replicating the microscopic topography of the inner surface of the workpiece. Subsequently, the cured elastic colloid is peeled off from the surface of the workpiece structure, and a surface topography measuring instrument is used to measure it to accurately observe the surface topography information of the workpiece. This method can observe the change trend of the surface topography; it can quickly and real-time perform high-precision replication and recording of the surface topography of multiple workpieces or different processing stages of the workpiece, ensuring the measurement accuracy. However, when this method encounters a long deep hole, the colloid is easily broken during demoulding, resulting in the need to re-measure. In addition, the entire deep hole is filled with colloid, causing material waste. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention aims to design a detection method for the surface topography and roughness of the inner surface of a complex structure that can not only improve the measurement accuracy but also facilitate demoulding.

[0010] C. After the colloid solidifies, pull out the glue injection tube for demoulding to obtain a replicated surface at the specified position.
