Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention particularly relates to a processing system and a processing method for special-shaped holes, belonging to the technical field of intelligent manufacturing industry. Background Art
[0002] Film cooling technology has been widely applied to hot-end components such as aero-engine combustion chambers and turbine blades. It is necessary to process a large number of dense, high depth-diameter ratio, and large inclination straight round holes or special-shaped hole group hole arrays on the wall surfaces of material components such as high-generation single crystals, superalloys with thermal barrier coatings, and ceramic matrix composites.
[0003] With the development of laser technology, the emergence of high-power, high-beam-quality short-pulse lasers and ultrafast lasers. Due to their extremely short action time and extremely high light intensity density, they can greatly reduce the thermal damage and mechanical damage during the material processing process, greatly improve the laser processing quality, and have been widely used in the precision micro-hole processing of various materials. However, limited by conditions such as small single-pulse energy (0.1 - 2 mJ) and low average power (40 - 100 W), there are still problems of low efficiency when short-pulse lasers and ultrafast lasers are used to process deep holes, and it is difficult to meet the requirements of high-speed hole-making in engineering applications.
[0004] With the rise of high-power fiber lasers, the application of long-pulse laser drilling technology in high-speed drilling has gradually increased. The continuous laser or quasi-continuous laser is modulated to be used with a pulse width in the millisecond and microsecond levels. Its average power is as high as 500 - 15000 W, and the single-pulse energy can reach dozens of joules. Therefore, it can remove materials at high speed to complete drilling. However, there are obvious thermal effects in long-pulse laser processing. During the rapid cooling process of the molten material, a remelting layer or even micro-cracks will inevitably be formed, which is difficult to meet the requirements of high surface integrity processing for deep holes. At the same time, due to the low processing resolution, long-pulse lasers are difficult to meet the processing requirements of complex three-dimensional fine structures such as special-shaped holes.
[0005] In addition, since the energy of the laser spot is not evenly distributed but shows a Gaussian distribution with high in the middle and low at the edges, combined with the characteristic that the laser beam is processed from large to small at the focus, there is generally a taper in the laser machining of straight round holes; when the laser drills a hole in the upper wall of a multi-layer wall structure, due to the high overlap rate of the laser beam spot at the center of the hole, heat accumulates quickly, resulting in a much higher material removal rate at the center than at the edge, causing the hole to be drilled through from the center first and the taper of the hole to be larger. To reduce the taper, it is also necessary to extend the laser machining time to trim the hole. During this period of hole trimming, the laser beam will pass through the cavity and directly irradiate the inner surface of the opposite wall, thereby continuing to machine the opposite wall or causing thermal damage to its material. Therefore, the laser machining technology needs to solve the contradiction between machining efficiency and machining quality, and also needs to solve the following three problems: laser spiral scanning cannot achieve the machining of complex shaped holes; there is a taper when laser combined with a scanning galvanometer is used to machine straight round holes with a large depth-diameter ratio; there is also damage to the opposite wall when laser machining a multi-layer wall structure. As follows Figure 1 as shown
[0006] For example, CN101332559A discloses a laser composite machining and shaping method for micro-deep holes without recast layer. First, a high-power laser or electric discharge machining is used to rough machine the micro-deep cooling holes of a turbine blade, and then a femtosecond laser spiral drilling method is used for secondary finishing and shaping of the micro-deep cooling holes. However, it is difficult to machine complex shaped holes by using the femtosecond laser to perform secondary finishing and shaping of the micro-deep cooling holes in a spiral feeding manner, and it is also difficult to avoid the problem of damage to the opposite wall in femtosecond laser machining. CN112171184A discloses a composite machining method and device for blade film holes. This method uses laser heating-assisted drilling to quickly drill the required size film holes on the substrate; secondly, the high-speed rotating drill bit is used as the cathode and the blade is used as the anode, and the drill bit moves up and down to perform on-line electrolytic post-treatment on some of the film holes of the metal substrate to eliminate defects such as residual stress and heat affected zone during the drilling process and produce a grinding and polishing-like effect, but this method is also difficult to machine complex shaped holes. The above problems greatly limit the practical application of lasers in the machining of film holes in aero-engines. Summary of the Invention

[0048] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , a machining method of a composite machining device for machining special-shaped holes, specifically including the following steps: S11: Fix the workpiece on the c-axis rotary motion module 17 and control the No. 1 CCD camera 34 to determine the starting machining position of the workpiece; S12: Control the workpiece to move from the visual field position of the No. 1 CCD camera 34 to the working position of the first laser machining head 31; S13: Use the first laser machining head 31 to quickly punch through the workpiece or machine a blind hole as a pre-hole, and machine all the pre-holes according to the machining requirements; S21: Control the No. 2 CCD camera 44 to find the starting machining position of the workpiece; S22: Control the workpiece to move from the visual field position of the No. 2 CCD camera 44 to the working position of the second laser machining head 41; S23: Using the second laser processing head 41, process the pre-holes on the workpiece layer by layer to form special-shaped holes, and process all the special-shaped holes according to the processing requirements.

[0049] It should be noted that in the present invention, the processing with the second laser processing head is to layer the special-shaped hole model, and the laser removes and processes layer by layer according to the model of each layer, so the processing of complex special-shaped holes can be realized. Since laser processing is non-contact processing and the position far from the laser focus still has the ability to cause damage, it is difficult to control the damage to the wall. However, when the third processing head in the present invention adopts an ultrasonic-assisted mechanical cutting tool processing head, it is contact processing, and when it adopts an ultrasonic-assisted electro-discharge machining head and an electro-hydraulic beam machining head, it is controllable non-contact processing. Because the position far from the processing head basically has no processing ability, there is basically no taper when the third processing head is used to process straight circular holes. In addition, the problem of wall damage can be prevented.
