[0002] Under the development trend of miniaturization of optoelectronic devices, lightweight of aerospace optical systems, and precision of semiconductor equipment, the processing demand of curved surface optical elements is increasing at a rate of 18% per year. The core challenge faced by the global precision manufacturing field focuses on the coordinated control of nanoscale surface accuracy and sub-micron surface quality. The contradiction between the physical properties of traditional rigid grinding and polishing tools and the processing requirements is increasingly prominent when dealing with hard and brittle materials such as K9 optical glass and silicon carbide ceramics with complex curvature characteristics. There are many limitations in the traditional grinding and polishing process. It is difficult to effectively control the material removal rate during the machining process, especially when machining complex shapes or large-area workpieces, local removal is too much or insufficient, which not only reduces the processing efficiency, but also increases the difficulty of subsequent correction. Another problem is the heat generated during the machining process. In ultra-precision machining, the accumulation of heat may cause thermal deformation of the workpiece surface, thereby affecting the machining accuracy. Due to the structural characteristics of traditional rigid grinding and polishing tools, it is often difficult to effectively dissipate the heat generated during the machining process, thereby limiting the improvement of processing efficiency and quality. In addition, the service life of traditional tools is also affected by wear and heat accumulation during the machining process, increasing the processing cost. In order to overcome the defects of traditional grinding and polishing tools, and to process more and more curved surface optical elements, it is particularly important to develop a flexible grinding and polishing tool.

[0055] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the following will combine the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are some of the embodiments of the present application, but not all the embodiments. The components of the embodiments of the present application described and shown in the drawings herein can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of the present application provided in the drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed present application, but only represents selected embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor are within the scope of the present application.

[0056] A specific curved surface flexible polishing tool workpiece curved surface surface shape machining control method includes the following steps:

[0057] Step 1), a curved surface flexible polishing tool polishing head structure as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is an abrasive layer, and 2 is an elastic layer made of a material with a small elastic modulus such as rubber or polyurethane to serve as an intermediate layer. After the entire 1 and 2 polishing head is bonded to the connecting plate, a pattern as shown in Figure 2 is processed on the surface of the abrasive layer by laser to dissipate heat generated during the machining process and form effective and uniform removal. The height of the elastic layer of the flexible polishing tool is h1, and the height of the abrasive layer is h2.

[0058] According to the surface of the abrasive layer, a pattern is cut out by laser as shown in Figure 2 to dissipate the heat generated in the ultra-precision machining process, and the pattern is divided into envelope type and array type. Since the curved flexible polishing head is hemispherical, the pattern design needs to prevent the influence caused by the contact between the polishing head and the workpiece during high-speed machining.

[0059] The envelope type pattern closely fits the curvature change of the hemispherical curved surface through continuous trajectories such as spiral lines, concentric circles or involutes (Fig. a and Fig. c). This design ensures that the heat dissipation channel always extends along the main load direction of the polishing head, which conforms to the centrifugal force distribution law during high-speed rotation. The variable pitch spiral line (such as dense in the equatorial region and sparse in the polar region) is used to adapt to the load distribution, avoiding the alternating stress concentration phenomenon when the pattern gap contacts the workpiece at high speed.

[0060] The array type pattern adopts a combination array of high-density triangular grid, quadrilateral gradual change, polar hexagonal honeycomb structure, and circular gradual change (Fig. b and Fig. d), realizes spatial regulation of thermal and mechanical properties, effectively suppresses high-frequency vibration, and strengthens directional heat dissipation and dynamic balance control.

[0061] Step 2) According to the Hertz theory, the contact area between the polishing head of the polishing tool and the workpiece is approximated as a circle, and a coordinate system is established with the center of the circular contact area (x, y) as the origin, wherein the z-axis is perpendicular to the contact area, and the y-axis is the motion direction, to obtain the contact area radius r between the polishing head and the workpiece;

[0062] A uniform load is applied to the center of the contact area of the curved polishing tool during machining, and the uniform load area is πr 2 , so that the center of the uniform load coincides with the center of the contact area of the curved polishing tool, and the normal force I is obtained, which is specifically:

[0063] During machining, the workpiece applies a distributed load to the abrasive layer. Due to the elastic layer of the spherical polishing tool, an elastic contact area will be formed between the polishing head and the workpiece. The curvature radius of the contact area is much larger than the radius of the polishing head, and the contact area of the two spheres is an elliptical shape, which can be approximated as a circle as shown in Figure 3 . And the nonlinearity of the thin plate contact stress distribution is inevitable. An exponential function contact stress distribution model is used to describe the non-linear distribution shape of the saddle type, parabolic type and bell-shaped surface, etc. Combined with the Hertz theory, the contact stress distribution model in the contact area between the polishing head and the workpiece during machining can be obtained.

[0064] Specifically, a coordinate system is established with any point P in the contact area as the origin, wherein the z-axis is perpendicular to the contact area, and the y-axis is the motion direction, and the expression formula of the contact area is:

[0065] x 2 +y2 = r 2 (1)

[0066] where r is the radius of the contact area between the polishing head and the workpiece, which is:

[0067]

[0068] where I is the normal polishing force at the polishing contact point, R e is the equivalent radius of curvature of the contact, E * is the relative modulus of elasticity.

[0069] Let the elastic modulus of the elastic layer of the flexible polishing tool be E1, the elastic modulus of the abrasive layer be E2, and the equivalent elastic modulus of the polishing head as a whole be E t which can be calculated by the Reuss model, then the equivalent elastic modulus E t and the equivalent Poisson's ratio υ t of the polishing head can be calculated by the following formula:

[0070]

[0071] Let E w be the Young's modulus of elasticity of the workpiece, υ w be the Poisson's ratio of the workpiece, and k1 and k2 be the relative principal curvatures of the polishing contact point, which are related to the curvatures of the contact point of the polishing head and the workpiece, then:

[0072]

[0073] In the process of polishing a plane, a uniform load q(x, y) (in units of (N / m 2 )) is applied to the center of the contact area of the curved polishing tool, the area of the uniform load is πr 2 , and the center of the uniform load coincides with the center of the contact area of the curved polishing tool.

[0074] Now the normal polishing force I at the polishing contact point is calculated. Let the deformation of the polishing head under the workpiece during the polishing process be ε, and E1 be the elastic modulus of the polishing head. Since the elastic modulus of the abrasive layer is much larger than that of the elastic layer, E1 is approximately equal to the elastic modulus of the elastic layer. The contact area is circular with a radius of r, and the total contact stress δ is:

[0075]

[0076] Then the normal polishing force I at the polishing contact point can be obtained as:

[0077] I = πr 2 εE1 (8)

[0078] In combination with the definition of step 1), an exponential function contact stress distribution model is as follows:

[0079]

[0080] where p(x, y) is the contact stress distribution model function under distributed load, A, B, C are undetermined coefficients determined by the load form, the geometric properties and material properties of the abrasive layer, which can describe the nonlinear distribution shapes such as saddle, parabolic and bell-shaped curved surface at the same time.

[0081] According to the definition of step 1), the width-height ratio of the abrasive layer in the contact area is λ = 2r / h2, and the contact stress at the center (0, 0) of the circular contact area is the average contact stress multiplied by the width-height ratio coefficient k = k(λ), that is, formula (10):

[0082]

[0083] where Ω is the distributed load area, and since the circular contact area is rotationally symmetric, the contact stress distribution of the substrate is also rotationally symmetric, that is:

[0084] p(x, y) = p(-x, y) = p(x, -y) = p(-x, -y) (11)

[0085] Let the normal polishing force I of the polishing contact point be:

[0086]

[0087] Substituting formula (10) gives:

[0088]

[0089] Since the abrasive layer area coincides with the distributed load area, we have:

[0090]

[0091] Solving the equation group from formula (9) to formula (14) can obtain the corresponding undetermined coefficients A, B, C.

[0092] Under the condition of free four-side boundary and considering the symmetry condition which does not affect the contact stress, A can satisfy the following formula:

[0093] A = 0 (15)

[0094] Substituting the center coordinates (0, 0) into formula (9) gives:

[0095] p(0, 0) = A + B (16)

[0096] From formula (13), we have:

[0097]

[0098] Substituting equations (12) and (17) into the contact stress distribution model and integrating along the region, we get:

[0099]

[0100] Solve this equation using the integral method of polar coordinate transformation, let:

[0101]

[0102] Equation:

[0103]

[0104] Further simplification yields:

[0105]

[0106] The undetermined coefficients C satisfy equation (15), which can be expanded using Taylor series:

[0107]

[0108] R n (C) represents the remainder term of the Taylor expansion. This invention uses a two-level Taylor series to obtain:

[0109]

[0110] Finally, the contact stress distribution model of the abrasive layer in the circular contact area under uniform load, including the aspect ratio coefficient, is obtained as follows:

[0111]

[0112] This allows us to obtain the contact stress at each contact point of the flexible polishing tool.

[0113] Step 3) For the attitude of the polishing head, the polishing tilt angle and polishing yaw angle need to be defined, which are the pitch angle β and the yaw angle λ. The pitch angle is the unit vector z. t The angle between the x-axis and the z-axis is the yaw angle z. t Projecting z onto the xoy plane t The angle between the z-axis and the x-axis. The local coordinate system is first rotated by an angle λ around the z-axis, then by an angle β around the y-axis. The resulting coordinate system is parallel to the grinding head coordinate system, i.e.:

[0114]

[0115] Then the axial unit vector z of the grinding and polishing head t =xsinβcosλ+ysinβsinλ+zcosβ, and simultaneously the angular velocity vector It can be represented as

[0116] Based on the axial unit vector of the polishing head and the angular velocity vector, a point P on the contact area between the polishing tool and the workpiece is set, the coordinates of which in the coordinate system o-xyz are (x P ,y P ,0), and the vector from the center of the polishing head to the point P is has wherein R is the radius of the polishing head, and the tangential velocity v t generated by the rotation of the polishing head is obtained. t The linear velocity of the polishing head is obtained through the tangential velocity v t , and the linear velocity distribution model of the contact area between the polishing head and the workpiece in the machining process is obtained, which is used for analyzing and calculating the material removal rate of a point in the polishing machining process.

[0117] Suppose a point P on the contact surface, the coordinates of which in the coordinate system o-xyz are (x P ,y P ,0), and the vector from the center of the polishing head to the point P is has wherein R is the radius of the polishing head. The tangential velocity v t generated by the rotation of the polishing head is:

[0118]

[0119] Since the rotational speed of the polishing head is much greater than the feed speed, the relative motion speed between the polishing head and the workpiece is simplified as the rotational speed of the polishing head, that is:

[0120]

[0121] The center position v1 of the flexible polishing head is 0, and the corresponding linear velocity increases continuously with the increase of the deflection attitude angle, and the edge linear velocity reaches the maximum. The removal profile is calculated as shown in Figure 4 , the edge removal amount of the polishing head is the largest, and the middle is the smallest. Different pitch angles β will change the linear velocity of each point in the contact area, and the longer the distance from the Z t axis, the greater the speed. The yaw angle λ will change the orientation of the speed distribution area under the same pitch angle β.

[0122] Step 4) In the process of the flexible polishing tool performing the machining task, the energy absorption performance as a key performance of the elastic material plays an extremely important potential effect.

[0123] When the elastic layer is under the action of uniaxial compression load, the stress-strain curve of the polishing head of the flexible polishing tool exhibits a relatively wide platform region, which means that the stress can be maintained in a stable state within a large strain range, thereby efficiently absorbing a large amount of energy by virtue of the shaping deformation,

[0124] With the increase of the relative density of the elastic body, the energy absorbed by the elastic layer in the compression process also increases in the same volume. The energy absorption capacity of the elastic body is related to the yield stress and the length of the yield section, and can extend the service life of the flexible polishing tool to a certain extent, maintain the stability in the polishing process, greatly stabilize the polishing force actually acting on the workpiece surface, and significantly reduce the noise generated in the polishing process and the vibration transmitted to the tool handle / spindle. When the elastic layer is compressed to a certain strain, the size of the absorbed energy is equivalent to the integral of the stress-strain function within the strain range:

[0125]

[0126] Wherein, W is the absorbed energy, ε is the strain, and σ is the stress corresponding to the strain ε.

[0127] With the increase of the relative density of the elastic body, the energy absorbed by the elastic layer in the compression process also increases in the same volume. The energy absorption capacity of the elastic body is related to the yield stress and the length of the yield section, and can extend the service life of the flexible polishing tool to a certain extent.

[0128] Step 5) According to the Preston equation, the stress distribution model and the linear velocity distribution model in the contact area can be used to obtain the material removal rate of each point in the contact area, and then the removal profile in the machining process can be obtained.

[0129] According to the Preston formula, the material removal function of the fixed-point polishing of the polishing head can be described as a linear equation as shown in the formula, and the material removal height model under different parameters can be obtained. The removal function profile radius is the length of the contact circle radius, and the peak removal rate is the maximum removal depth per unit time, and the expression is:

[0130] Δh(x,y)=K p p(x,y)v(x,y)T

[0131] In the formula, Δh(x,y) is the material removal amount of any point (x,y) on the contact surface; K p is the Preston constant, which is determined by factors other than the velocity and the pressure; p(x,y) and v(x,y) are the normal pressure and the relative linear velocity of the point on the polishing contact surface; and T is the dwell time of the polishing head at the polishing point.

[0132] The material removal profile thereof can be obtained from formula (17) and formula (20), and the material removal profile isFigure 4 It can be obtained that the removal height is a "W" type when the pitch angle is 0°, that is, the polishing head is not biased, and the polishing head is perpendicular to the contact area; and the removal height is an inverted "V" type when the pitch angle is greater than 0°, that is, the polishing head is processed with a bias angle. Through the combination of polishing heads with different bias angles, different sizes and different elastic moduli, high-efficiency and high-precision processing can be realized.
