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 group of hole arrays of straight round holes or special-shaped holes with a large number, a large depth-diameter ratio, and a large inclination angle on the wall surfaces of material components such as single-crystal superalloys with high generations, high-temperature alloys 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, can greatly reduce the thermal damage and mechanical damage during the material processing process, and greatly improve the laser processing quality. They 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 large-depth 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, long-pulse laser processing has obvious thermal effects. During the rapid cooling process of the molten material, a remelting layer or even microcracks will inevitably be formed, making it difficult to meet the high surface integrity processing requirements of deep holes. At the same time, due to the low processing resolution, long-pulse lasers are difficult to meet the processing requirements of three-dimensional fine structures such as complex 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 processes 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, the 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 large. 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: the laser spiral scanning cannot machine complex shaped holes; there is a taper in the laser machining of straight round holes with a large depth-to-diameter ratio by combining the laser with a scanning galvanometer; there is also damage to the opposite wall in the laser machining of multi-layer wall structures. As follows Figure 1 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 the turbine blade, and then the femtosecond laser spiral drilling machining method is used to perform secondary finishing and shaping on the micro-deep cooling holes. However, it is difficult to machine complex shaped holes by the femtosecond laser in a spiral feed manner for secondary finishing and shaping of the micro-deep cooling holes, 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 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

[0080] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 , a processing method of a composite processing device for punching special-shaped holes, specifically including the following steps:

[0081] S11: Fix the workpiece on the c-axis rotary motion module 17 and control the No. 1 CCD camera 34 to determine the starting processing position of the workpiece;

[0082] 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 processing head 31;

[0083] S13: Use the first laser processing head 31 to quickly punch through holes or process blind holes on the workpiece as pre-holes, and process all the pre-holes according to the processing requirements;

[0084] S21: Control the No. 2 CCD camera 44 to find the starting processing position of the workpiece;

[0085] 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 processing head 41;

[0086] S23: Use the second laser processing head 41 to process the pre-holes on the workpiece into special-shaped holes in a layer-by-layer removal processing manner, and process all the special-shaped holes according to the processing requirements;

[0087] S31: Control the No. 3 CCD camera 54 to find the starting processing position of the workpiece;

[0088] S32: Control the workpiece to move from the visual field position of the No. 3 CCD camera 54 to the working position of the ultrasonic-assisted electric discharge machining head;

[0089] S33: Use the ultrasonic-assisted electric discharge machining head to finish machining the straight circular section of the special-shaped hole of the workpiece to eliminate the taper, and eliminate the taper of all the holes according to the processing requirements.

[0090] It should be noted that in the present invention, the processing with the second laser processing head is carried out by layering the special-shaped hole model, and the laser removes the processing 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 a 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 tool processing head, it is a contact processing, and when it adopts an ultrasonic-assisted electric discharge machining head and an electro-hydraulic beam machining head, it is a controllable non-contact processing. Because the position far from the processing head basically has no processing ability, the third processing head used for processing straight round holes basically has no taper, and in addition, the problem of wall damage can be prevented.

[0091] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
