[0042] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Embodiment one

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 , the present embodiment provides a micro-lens array forming device and method based on synchronous rotation of spindles, mainly applied to machining high-precision micro-lens arrays on the surface of a roll-cylinder-shaped workpiece.

[0044] The micro-lens array forming device based on synchronous rotation of spindles mainly includes a machine tool body, a feed driving mechanism, a workpiece spindle 1, a milling spindle 3, and a control system. Among them, the machine tool body is configured with the feed driving mechanism, which preferably adopts a high-precision X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis linear guide rail sliding table combination, which can realize multi-degree-of-freedom relative displacement motion. The workpiece spindle 1 is connected to the feed driving mechanism (for example, mounted on the X-axis sliding table), and the workpiece spindle 1 is used to clamp and drive the workpiece 2 to be machined to rotate around the horizontal axis. The workpiece spindle 1 is preferably a low-speed high-precision air bearing rotary table. The milling spindle 3 is connected to the feed driving mechanism (for example, mounted on the Z-axis sliding table), and the milling spindle 3 is used to clamp and drive the milling tool 4 to rotate around the vertical axis at high speed. The milling spindle 3 is preferably a super-speed air bearing motor spindle with a maximum rotation speed of 120,000 r / min. In the present embodiment, in order to adapt to the roll processing requirements, the rotation axis of the workpiece spindle 1 and the rotation axis of the milling spindle 3 are configured to be in a non-planar vertical state in space, that is, in an orthogonal distribution mode.

[0045] Please refer to Figure 5The milling tool 4 used in the embodiment is a single crystal diamond tool, and the tool head 41 has a specific geometry. Specifically, the tool head 41 is jointly surrounded by a planar rake face 411 and a spherical relief face 412. The planar rake face 411 contains the rotational center axis of the milling tool 4, and the intersection line of the planar rake face 411 and the spherical relief face 412 constitutes the only single cutting edge 413 of the tool. When the milling tool 4 rotates at high speed, the rotational trajectory formed by the single cutting edge 413 in space constitutes a spherical envelope. By utilizing the geometric asymmetry of the planar rake face 411 and the spherical relief face 412 in the circumferential direction of the milling tool 4, the single cutting edge 413 and the workpiece 2 form a high-frequency alternating cycle of cutting phase and idle phase during processing. The microlens array forming device based on synchronous rotation of the spindle can also be configured with a nozzle (not shown in the figure) to spray cold air or a small amount of lubricating oil mist to the cutting edge during the idle phase to efficiently remove chips and reduce cutting heat.

[0046] Based on the above device, the microlens array forming method of the embodiment has the following process:

[0047] 1. Workpiece installation and positioning. The workpiece 2 with a surface plated with nickel in the form of a roller is installed on the workpiece spindle 1, and the control system drives the feed drive mechanism to control the movement of the milling tool 4 to the predetermined cutting position on the cylindrical surface of the workpiece 2.

[0048] 2. Establish synchronous coupling relationship. The control system calculates the number N of microlens units to be generated on the current cutting trajectory during one revolution of the workpiece 2 according to the current cutting position of the milling tool 4 on the workpiece 2 (for a cylindrical roller, the cutting revolution radius corresponding to this position is fixed). Then, the control system establishes an electronic gear relationship to lock the rotational speed of the milling spindle 3 and the rotational speed of the workpiece spindle 1 at a constant speed ratio, i.e., satisfying the relationship . For example, if 550 lenses are to be generated in one revolution of the roller-shaped workpiece 2, the speed ratio is locked at 550:1.

[0049] 3. Drive rotation and eliminate dead zones by vector synthesis. Drive the milling spindle 3 and the workpiece spindle 1 to rotate at the locked ratio, and control the rotation directions of the two. As shown in Figure 2 , in the actual cutting contact area of the milling tool 4 and the workpiece 2, the high-speed rotation of the milling tool 4 generates a tangential linear velocity vector , and the rotation of the workpiece 2 generates a tangential linear velocity vector In the orthogonal distribution mode, the two vectors are orthogonal or intersected at the cutting contact position. The present application utilizes the principle of vector composition to compensate the speed deficiency of the milling cutter 4 at the rotation center by means of the high-speed rotating motion of the workpiece 2. Therefore, even at the intersection point of the spherical envelope surface of the milling cutter 4 and the rotation axis (i.e. the geometric dead point), a non-zero relative cutting linear velocity vector v can be formed by vector superposition, thus avoiding the material extrusion and plowing phenomenon from the physical principle.

[0050] 4. Perform the fixed-axis envelope forming. Control the relative cutting feed of the milling spindle 3 relative to the workpiece spindle 1 until the milling cutter 4 cuts into the workpiece 2 to the predetermined cutting depth. At this time, keep the radial cutting depth of the milling cutter 4 unchanged, i.e. lock the position of the feed axis. In this state, maintain the constant speed ratio and rotation direction as mentioned above and continue for a predetermined time T. The predetermined time T is set as an integer multiple of the rotation period of the workpiece spindle 1 (for example During this period, the spherical envelope surface formed by the rotation of the milling cutter 4 and the rotating surface of the workpiece 2 have relative motion envelope, and N microlens units are generated on the circumference of the roller-shaped workpiece 2 at one time. Since the dwell time T strictly matches the rotation period, it is ensured that the topography of each lens unit is closed and has no tool marks.

[0051] 5. Perform the array step cycle. After the workpiece spindle 1 completes at least one rotation and forming, control the relative feed motion of the feed drive mechanism to make the milling cutter 4 move a step distance along the preset microlens array arrangement direction (for example along the roller axis direction) relative to the workpiece 2. Then, repeat the above parameter locking and forming steps until a complete microlens array is generated on the surface of the workpiece 2. Example Two

[0052] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , this embodiment shows the case of machining microlens array on a planar substrate workpiece. The main difference from Example One is the spatial arrangement mode and the vector composition method.

[0053] In this embodiment, the workpiece 2 is a planar substrate, which is installed on the vertically arranged workpiece spindle 1. In order to meet the best cutting conditions and avoid the dead zone, the rotation axis of the workpiece spindle 1 and the rotation axis of the milling spindle 3 are configured in a non-parallel inclined state (i.e. inclined distribution mode), for example, the milling spindle 3 is deflected by an inclination angle .

[0054] As shown in Figure 4 , due to the inclination angle Due to the presence of [something], the effective cutting position of the milling cutter 4 deviates from its geometric vertex, utilizing the effective cutting edge on the side of the cutter head 41 for cutting. At this time, in the projection direction of the cutting contact plane, the rotation direction of the workpiece spindle 1 and the milling cutter 4 is controlled, causing the tangential linear velocity vector generated by the milling cutter 4 to [something]. The tangential linear velocity vector generated by workpiece 2 The directions are the same, and they satisfy... By vector subtraction ( This creates a stable climb milling state, which not only eliminates dead zones but also avoids vibrations caused by conventional milling, further improving surface finish.

[0055] Furthermore, in planar helical or concentric circle array machining, the cutting trajectory radius R of workpiece 2 continuously changes as the machining position moves from the outer circle to the center. Therefore, after each movement step, the control system recalculates the number N of microlens units required for that revolution based on the current cutting radius R and relocks the speed ratio. This is to ensure that the size of the microlenses remains consistent at different radii. Example 3

[0056] This embodiment provides a detailed explanation of the parameter inverse calculation logic in the above method that eliminates the need to generate point cloud toolpaths. This method allows the operator to directly deduce control parameters based on the geometry of the target microlens.

[0057] Specifically, the inverse parameter calculation steps include:

[0058] The first step is to determine the cutting depth based on the unit width. The maximum surface width LW of the target single microlens unit along the workpiece 2 axis is obtained. The control system, based on the radius r of the spherical rotational envelope of the milling tool 4, uses geometric formulas... It automatically calculates the required predetermined cutting depth d in reverse and uses it as the target value for the feed control of workpiece spindle 1 and milling spindle 3.

[0059] The second step involves determining the rotational speed based on the unit length. The maximum arc length LL of the surface of a single target microlens unit along the rotational direction of workpiece 2 is obtained. First, the kinematic equations are established. Where t is the single effective cutting time of the milling tool 4 on the workpiece 2, and v is the magnitude of the non-zero relative cutting linear velocity vector mentioned in step S3. Next, the conversion relationship between linear velocity and rotational speed is introduced, namely the tool tangential linear velocity. With rotational speed The tangential linear velocity of the workpiece is directly proportional to the radius r. With rotational speed This is directly proportional to the distance R from the cutting position to the workpiece's rotation axis. Finally, this is combined with the locked speed ratio relationship. And the vector synthesis rule in the embodiment one or the embodiment two, construct equation group and solve simultaneously, thus obtain the main shaft rotating speed satisfying the arc length LL requirement And Instruction value.

[0060] Experiments show that the method and device of the application can process 550 microlens units on the surface of a nickel-plated roller in only about 9.6 seconds, while the traditional single-point diamond turning technology needs about 10 hours and the traditional micro-milling needs about 1 hour. The white light interferometer detection shows that the surface roughness Ra of the obtained microlens array is less than 10 nm, and there is no obvious extrusion or plowing mark in the lens center, which verifies the significant advantages of the application in efficiency and quality.

[0061] The above merely illustrates the specific embodiments of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited to this. Any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the application, which should be covered in the protection scope of the application.
