TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of hard and brittle material processing technology, and particularly relates to a prediction method for surface creation of optical glass ultrasonic vibration polishing processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of science and technology and social production, the requirements for the processing quality and manufacturing precision of required parts in some important fields such as aerospace, biological medicine and electronic information are becoming more and more strict. Hard and brittle materials represented by optical glass and ceramics are widely used in science and technology frontiers and actual production due to their unique superior performance, and the nearly strict manufacturing requirements make the hard and brittle material processing face great challenges. Generally, polishing processing is the last link of part manufacturing, and plays a key role in ensuring the final quality of products or parts. How to realize efficient, high-precision and green processing of hard and brittle materials such as optical glass is an important issue that needs to be urgently solved in modern manufacturing, and advanced polishing theory and technology are needed to provide support for innovation application and industrial progress.

[0003] Ultrasonic vibration assisted polishing technology (Ultrasonic vibration polishing, UVP) is to improve the action efficiency of the polishing processing area by applying ultrasonic vibration to the polishing tool or workpiece, so as to improve the processing efficiency and obtain a processing surface with nanometer level roughness. Therefore, the technology has broad application prospects in the ultraprecision machining of hard and brittle materials such as optical glass and ceramics. Due to the high hardness and brittleness of hard and brittle materials at the present stage, surface microcracks and subsurface damage are easily generated in the processing process, causing quality problems of the workpiece, so it is urgent to develop a prediction method for surface creation of optical glass ultrasonic vibration polishing processing, so as to realize high-quality shape control and property manufacturing of the workpiece surface. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the problems in the prior art, the present application provides a prediction method for surface creation of optical glass ultrasonic vibration polishing processing, which specifically comprises the following steps: Determine the material performance parameters of the polishing tool and the optical glass workpiece.

[0005] Obtain the process parameters of the optical glass ultrasonic vibration polishing processing, the process parameters including a preset polishing time.

[0006] Discretize the contact area of the polishing tool and the optical glass workpiece and the polishing time, and output the discrete results.

[0007] Calculate the initial contact pressure based on the process parameters and the discrete results.

[0008] calculating a dynamic compression amount of the polishing tool based on the initial contact pressure and material property parameters.

[0009] calculating a dynamic contact pressure of the contact area based on the dynamic compression amount.

[0010] calculating a material removal depth of the contact area between the polishing tool and the optical glass using the Preston equation.

[0011] iteratively performing all the above steps and accumulating a calculation time, and verifying completeness of the calculation process by comparing the calculation time with the preset polishing time.

[0012] Further, the material property parameters include a polishing tool thickness, a polishing tool radius, and a Young's modulus of the polishing tool.

[0013] Further, the process parameters further include a spindle speed of a polishing machine, an ultrasonic amplitude, an ultrasonic frequency, and a pre-polishing force.

[0014] Further, the contact area between the polishing tool and the optical glass workpiece is discretized into a plurality of micro-annular discrete units along a radial direction of the polishing tool, and the polishing time is discretized into a plurality of time intervals.

[0015] Further, at an initial time , the initial contact pressure of any micro-annular discrete unit in the contact area is:

[0016] wherein, represents the initial contact pressure of the discrete unit in the contact area, represents a distance of a discrete point of the polishing tool from the origin, represents a distance between adjacent discrete points, represents the pre-polishing force, represents the polishing tool radius.

[0017] Further, the polishing tool is composed of a ceramic base and a polyurethane polishing pad. Since the hardness of the base is much greater than that of the polishing pad and is not easy to compress, the deformation of the polishing tool is considered to only come from the polishing pad during the model establishment. When the time-varying nature of the contact pressure is not considered, the dynamic compression amount of the polishing tool changing with the ultrasonic vibration is composed of two parts, one part is the elastic deformation of the polishing pad caused by the pre-polishing force of the polishing tool, and the other part is the elastic deformation caused by the ultrasonic vibration. Considering the material removal depth and the time-varying nature of the contact pressure, the time is discretized, and the dynamic compression amount of each discrete unit is represented as:

[0018] in, For the thickness of the polishing pad, Young's modulus of the polishing tool, Ultrasonic amplitude, For ultrasonic frequency, For the initial phase, To account for the time-varying pressure at time t, the contact pressure between each discrete element and the workpiece is considered. The material removal depth is applied to each discrete unit.

[0019] Furthermore, a coordinate system is established with the center of the polishing tool as the origin. The horizontal axis represents the direction of movement perpendicular to the polishing tool, the vertical axis represents the direction of movement parallel to the polishing tool, and the horizontal axis represents the direction perpendicular to the workpiece surface. The x-coordinates of discrete points on the polishing tool are represented. The ordinate of the discrete points of the polishing tool; Furthermore, based on the aforementioned dynamic compression amount Calculate the dynamic contact pressure distribution function : .

[0020] Furthermore, a material removal function considering time-varying pressure effects is established. :

[0021] Where, k Represents the Preston coefficient. Indicates the contact area between the polishing tool and the workpiece with respect to time. The pressure distribution function, This represents the velocity distribution function of the polishing tool. Indicates the duration of the unit's stay; Furthermore, regarding time By accumulating points, you can obtain the time spent in the area. Material removal depth distribution function : .

[0022] Furthermore, regarding time Discretize and remove the material depth function. It can be represented as:

[0023] in, Represents the time interval after time discretization. Indicates the rotation speed of the polishing tool. Represented as the radius of the polishing tool A changing function, These are parameters to be determined.

[0024] Furthermore, summing over discrete time yields the value of the first time step (i.e., the time step) along the radius of the polishing tool during the entire ultrasonic vibration polishing process of the moving optical glass. Material removal depth of each discrete unit for:

[0025] in, Indicates the cycle of motion. This indicates the time of each movement cycle. Indicates the first The x-coordinate of each discrete unit, express Time of the first Polishing tool and straight line at each discrete unit The x-coordinate of the intersection point express Time of the first Polishing tool and straight line at each discrete unit The ordinate of the intersection point, This represents the resultant velocity at the intersection point. For the first Discrete time moments Indicates the number of discrete moments. Indicates the first The contact time between each discrete unit and the workpiece. Indicates the polishing tool along The axial direction will be the radius Discrete quantity, This represents the pressure distribution function at the intersection point. Represents the time of each discrete unit at time... The depth of material removal.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention innovatively integrates the time-varying coupling effect of contact pressure and material removal depth into the material removal model. Traditional models often treat contact pressure as constant, while this invention recognizes that the workpiece surface morphology changes continuously as polishing progresses, leading to dynamic changes in contact pressure, which in turn affects the subsequent material removal rate. By establishing and solving this dynamic coupling model, this method can more realistically simulate the actual polishing process, thereby achieving higher accuracy in predicting material removal depth and the final workpiece surface profile.

[0027] This invention constructs a multi-parameter, multi-physics coupled deterministic model by finely discretizing the polishing time and tool contact area, and combining this with the dynamic compression caused by ultrasonic vibration. This model is not only applicable to fixed-point polishing, but also more comprehensively describes the polishing process of a tool moving along a straight line in reciprocating motion, fully considering the velocity synthesis and instantaneous contact state at different locations. This allows the model to flexibly adapt to different process parameters, providing a powerful analytical tool for process optimization.

[0028] This invention is the first to explicitly decompose the dynamic compression of a polishing tool into two parts: pre-compression elastic deformation and ultrasonic vibration deformation, and introduces a corrected Preston coefficient to account for uneven abrasive particle distribution. This modeling approach is not merely a computational tool; more importantly, it reveals at the mechanistic level how ultrasonic vibration enhances material removal by altering instantaneous contact pressure and tool-workpiece interaction, and how the elasticity of the polishing pad and vibration synergistically influence surface creation. This lays a solid theoretical foundation for a deeper understanding of the advantages of UVP technology.

[0029] The method of this invention achieves quantitative and predictive analysis from process parameter input to surface morphology output. Through this model, the processing effects under different parameter combinations can be simulated in advance before actual processing, thereby guiding the selection of optimal process parameters and enabling proactive control of the workpiece surface contour and material removal amount. This helps reduce trial-and-error costs, improve processing consistency and reliability, and ultimately promotes the development of ultra-precision machining of hard and brittle materials such as optical glass towards more efficient, higher precision, and more controllable precision machining.

[0030] The time-varying coupled discretization modeling framework established in this invention is not limited to the optical glass UVP processing described above. Its core ideas and methodology can be extended to the modeling and prediction of precision processing processes such as ultrasonic-assisted polishing and grinding of other hard and brittle materials, and has good industry reference and promotion value.

[0031] In summary, this invention not only provides a high-precision prediction tool, but more importantly, through innovative modeling methods, it profoundly reveals the complex physical nature of the UVP process, providing a theoretical basis and technical support for the study of surface creation of hard and brittle materials in ultrasonic vibration polishing.
