Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of multi-energy field coupling assisted scratch testing technology, specifically to a laser-vibration coupling assisted micro / nano scratch testing device. Background Technology
[0002] In recent years, a large number of scholars have conducted in-depth research and exploration on the machinability of difficult-to-machine materials (such as hard-brittle materials and soft-brittle materials) using single energy field and coupled energy field assisted machining methods. The research results show that the auxiliary energy field method can effectively reduce cutting force, lower cutting temperature, improve tool life and improve workpiece surface quality. Therefore, this method is widely used in machining processes such as turning, milling, drilling and grinding.
[0003] According to publicly available reports, most multi-energy field coupled assisted micro / nano scratch testing devices are still in the theoretical verification stage, and no mature products have yet appeared on the market. Therefore, this paper proposes a laser-vibration coupled assisted micro / nano scratch testing device to realize micro / nano scratch testing experiments under the assistance of an opto-mechanical composite field. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0023] The structure and principle of the invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This invention enables multi-dimensional composite energy field-assisted scratch testing. Specific embodiments will be described below to demonstrate the flexibility and usability of the device.
[0024] Implementation Method 1:
[0025] Laser-assisted scratching: such as Figure 1As shown, 1-Gantry and 18-Marble base are connected to form the main structure of the device. 8-Workpiece is fixed to 9-Clamping fixture by screws. 9-Clamping fixture is fixed to 5-X / Y direction vibration generating unit. 16-X direction motor and 17-Y direction motor drive 4-X / Y direction precision positioning platform to move in the X and Y directions. 19-Z direction motor drives 22-Cut tool and 19-Z direction positioning block to move in the Z direction. The 16-X direction motor, 17-Y direction motor, and 19-Z direction motor work together to move 8-Workpiece and 22-Cut tool so that 22-Cut tool can scratch 8-Workpiece. The laser path adjustment device is equipped with 25-X direction laser adjustment knob and 27-Y direction laser adjustment knob, thereby realizing the micro-motion of 26-Laser fiber in the X and Y directions. Loosening the set screw on 26-Laser fiber sleeve allows for vertical adjustment of the laser so that the laser spot and the tool tip are on the same plane. Turning the 25-X direction laser adjustment knob moves the 26-laser fiber along the X direction, aligning the laser spot and the blade tip in a straight line for precise heating. Turning the 27-Y direction laser adjustment knob moves the 26-laser fiber along the Y direction, changing the distance between the blade tip and the laser spot. Since the 22-blade is an in-situ laser blade, changing the distance between the laser spot and the blade tip allows for both in-situ and off-site laser-assisted scratch testing. During testing, the 10-X direction displacement sensor, 15-Y direction displacement sensor, and 21-Z direction displacement sensor acquire X, Y, and Z direction displacements, while the 12-X direction force sensor, 13-Y direction force sensor, and 24-Z direction force sensor acquire X, Y, and Z direction forces. Adjusting the 28-micro adjustment device positions the microscope at the blade tip, enabling real-time observation during the scratching process.
[0026] Implementation Method Two:
[0027] Vibration-assisted scratching: Similarly, workpiece 8 is fixed to fixture 9 with screws, and the worktable moves in the X and Y directions driven by motors 16 (X-direction) and 17 (Y-direction). A signal is then given to the piezoelectric ceramic stacks 11 (X-direction) and 14 (Y-direction), causing workpiece 8 to vibrate in the X and Y directions. Due to the workpiece vibration, the conventional scratching experiment becomes two-dimensional vibration scratching. When a signal is given to the piezoelectric ceramic stack 23 (Z-direction), the tool 22 vibrates in the Z-direction, and combined with the workpiece vibration, three-dimensional vibration scratching is achieved. When only a signal is given to the piezoelectric ceramic stack 23 (Z-direction), Z-direction vibration is achieved, resulting in Z-direction vibration scratching. During Z-direction vibration scratching, displacement sensor 21 (Z-direction) and force sensor 24 (Z-direction) acquire Z-direction displacement and force, respectively. For two-dimensional vibration scratches, the 10-X displacement sensor and the 15-Y displacement sensor can acquire X and Y displacements, while the 12-X force sensor and the 13-Y force sensor can acquire X and Y force. For three-dimensional vibration scratches, the 10-X displacement sensor, the 15-Y displacement sensor, and the 21-Z displacement sensor can acquire X, Y, and Z displacements, while the 12-X force sensor, the 13-Y force sensor, and the 24-Z force sensor can acquire X, Y, and Z force.
[0028] Implementation Method 3:
[0029] Laser-assisted composite scratching: A signal is given to the piezoelectric ceramic stacks in the 11-X direction, 14-Y direction, and 23-Z direction to vibrate the tool (22) and workpiece (8), transforming the device into a three-dimensional vibration generator. Adjusting the laser adjustment knobs in the 25-X and 27-Y directions aligns the laser spot and tool tip in a straight line, maintaining a certain distance, achieving off-site laser three-dimensional vibration composite scratching. Further adjustment of the 27-Y direction laser adjustment knob allows the laser spot to pass through the tool tip and irradiate the workpiece, achieving in-situ laser-assisted three-dimensional vibration composite scratching. When only a signal is given to the piezoelectric ceramic stacks in the 11-X and 14-Y directions, the workpiece vibrates in both the X and Y directions. Adjusting the laser adjustment knobs in the 25-X and 27-Y directions aligns the laser spot and tool tip in a straight line, maintaining a certain distance, achieving laser-assisted two-dimensional vibration composite scratching. Continue adjusting the 27-Y direction laser adjustment knob to allow the laser spot to pass through the tool tip and illuminate the workpiece, achieving in-situ laser-assisted two-dimensional vibration composite scratching. When only one signal is given to the 23-Z direction piezoelectric ceramic stack, the 22-tool vibrates in the Z direction. At this time, the device becomes a one-dimensional vibration generator in the Z direction. Adjust the 25-X direction and 27-Y direction laser adjustment knobs to align the laser spot and the tool tip in a straight line and maintain a certain distance, achieving laser-assisted one-dimensional vibration composite scratching. Continue adjusting the 27-Y direction laser adjustment knob to allow the laser spot to pass through the tool tip and illuminate the workpiece, achieving in-situ laser-assisted one-dimensional vibration composite scratching. During the test, the force and displacement are collected as in vibration-assisted scratching.
[0030] Implementation Method Four:
[0031] Constant and Variable Depth Scraping: This device can achieve both constant and variable depth scratching when performing laser-assisted scratching, vibration-assisted scratching, and combined vibration-laser scratching. During constant depth scratching, the 24-Z force sensor receives a force signal. Because the material cannot be guaranteed to be perfectly level, the signal received by the 24-Z force sensor varies during scratching. When the force increases, the 2-Z precision positioning platform moves the 22-tool away from the 8-workpiece; when the force decreases, the 2-Z precision positioning platform moves the 22-tool closer to the 8-workpiece, ultimately achieving constant depth scratching. During variable depth of cut scratching, the 24-Z direction force sensor will also send a force signal. During the scratching process, the signal received by the 24-Z direction force sensor gradually increases. When the force increases too much, the 2-Z direction precision positioning platform will cause the 22-tool to move away from the 8-workpiece. When the force increases too little, the 2-Z direction precision positioning platform will cause the 22-tool to move closer to the 8-workpiece, thus achieving variable depth of cut scratching.
