Abrasive particle micro-jet polishing method and polishing device based on phased cavitation effect
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of abrasive particle micro-jet polishing, in particular to an abrasive particle micro-jet polishing method and device based on a phase-controlled cavitation effect.
Background
In the fields of electronic information, bioengineering, national defense aviation and the like, a class of metal parts with tiny structures and complex profiles exist, and the metal parts are required to have higher surface quality in the use process. The fluid polishing method adopts the fluid with better flexibility as the abrasive particle driving medium, can effectively avoid workpiece damage caused by hard pressing of the abrasive particles, and is gradually applied to polishing of various complex curved surface parts. However, the fluid polishing method is inefficient due to the driving force of the fluid medium, which limits its practical application in industry.
The introduction of cavitation in fluids to enhance polishing efficiency by virtue of the energy generated by cavitation collapse is a major trend in the development of fluid polishing processes. In this type of method, the cavitation intensity determines the enhancement effect of cavitation collapse on the kinetic energy of the abrasive particle-wall impact: the higher the cavitation strength is, the more obvious the enhancement effect is, but the more easily cavitation destruction occurs; the cavitation intensity is insufficient, and the polishing efficiency cannot be obviously improved. The position of the collapse impact area of the cavity group determines the position of an effective reinforcing area, and for parts with high depth-to-width ratio, the position of the collapse impact area of the cavity group is often required to be adjusted for many times in order to achieve uniform reinforcing effect.
The existing cavitation enhanced abrasive particle jet polishing method has certain defects in the aspects of adjusting cavitation intensity and collapse positions of cavitation groups. For example, the invention patent with the application number of CN201610914661.4 provides a high-efficiency fluid finishing method and device based on the structural cavitation effect, the invention introduces the venturi tube cavitation effect into the fluid finishing, and the venturi tube structure is arranged on a processing tool and matched with the high-speed turbulent vortex of abrasive particle flow, so that the polishing of the abrasive particles to the surface of a workpiece is realized. However, the method adopts a hydraulic structure to generate cavitation, and cannot realize active control on cavitation strength under the condition of not changing the flow velocity and components of the abrasive flow; meanwhile, the structure designed by the method is not suitable for micro complex curved surface parts.
Meanwhile, the Chinese patent with the application number of CN201710976740.2 also has the problems. The invention patent with the application number of CN201910362390.X provides an ultrasonic cavitation auxiliary jet polishing system, and the ultrasonic cavitation auxiliary jet polishing system adopts an ultrasonic transducer to enable polishing liquid to generate high-frequency vibration and generate cavitation bubbles, so that the material removal efficiency of abrasive water jet is improved. However, this method requires adjusting the height of the nozzle from the surface of the workpiece or the flow rate of the jet to adjust the collapse position of the cavitation group, and cannot ensure the consistency of the process parameters during the polishing process. Therefore, the research and development of the cavitation enhanced abrasive particle micro-jet polishing method capable of independently regulating and controlling the cavitation intensity and the collapse position of the cavitation group is a very practical work.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention aims to solve the problem that the existing cavitation-enhanced abrasive particle flow polishing method is difficult to independently regulate and control the cavitation intensity and the collapse position of a cavitation bubble group, and provides an abrasive particle micro-jet polishing method and a polishing device based on a phase-controlled cavitation effect.
The invention realizes the purpose through the following technical scheme: a abrasive particle micro-jet polishing method based on a phase-controlled cavitation effect adopts a conical jet cavity to form micro-jet and the micro-jet is emitted to the surface to be polished of a polishing workpiece; meanwhile, annular array piezoelectric ceramics are arranged above the conical jet flow cavity in a coupling mode, and the excitation pulse phase delay time of each annular structure piezoelectric ceramic is controlled through a phase control algorithm, so that sound waves are focused at a sound wave focusing point close to the ejection opening of the conical jet flow cavity; controlling the sound pressure threshold value at the sound wave focusing point to be larger than the cavitation threshold value, so that the cavitation effect is generated at the sound wave focusing point, and the cavitation bubble group is continuously generated; the cavitation bubble group reaches the near-wall surface area of the surface to be polished of the polishing workpiece to be collapsed under the driving of the micro jet, and the micro jet polishing efficiency is improved by means of energy generated by collapse of the cavitation bubble in the cavitation bubble group.
Furthermore, the active control of the size and the cavitation intensity of the air bubbles is realized under the condition of not changing the technological parameters of the micro jet by adjusting the sound wave transmitting frequency and the power of the multi-channel phase-controlled transmitting system.
Furthermore, the height position of the sound wave focusing point, namely the cavitation bubble initial region, is adjusted by adjusting the phase delay time of the excitation pulse. Under the condition of a certain microjet flow speed, the height position of the cavitation bubble primary area directly determines the height position of the cavitation bubble group collapse impact area. Therefore, the invention can adjust the height position of the collapse impact area of the cavitation bubble group in the micro-jet without changing the process parameters of the height of the nozzle from the surface of the workpiece, the flow velocity of the micro-jet and the like by adjusting the phase delay time of the excitation pulse.
Further, the numerical value of the phase delay time is determined by fluid mechanics calculation by combining the flow velocity of the micro jet, the life cycle of the cavitation group and the height position of the pre-designed cavitation group collapse impact area.
Furthermore, the micro jet is low-viscosity liquid-solid two-phase fluid, and the fluid environment is guaranteed to have a lower cavitation threshold.

It should be understood that the description is intended to be exemplary only, and is not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Moreover, in the following description, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted so as to not unnecessarily obscure the concepts of the present invention.
The invention relates to an abrasive particle micro-jet polishing method based on a phase-controlled cavitation effect, which is characterized in that a conical jet cavity 5 is adopted to form a micro-jet 9, and the micro-jet 9 is emitted to the surface to be polished of a workpiece 7 for jet polishing; meanwhile, annular array piezoelectric ceramics 31 are coupled and arranged above the conical jet flow cavity 5, and the excitation pulse phase delay time of each annular structure piezoelectric ceramic is controlled through a phase control algorithm, so that the sound wave 11 is focused at a sound wave focusing point 10 close to the ejection opening of the conical jet flow cavity 5; controlling the sound pressure threshold value at the sound wave focusing point 10 to be larger than the cavitation threshold value, so that the cavitation effect is generated at the sound wave focusing point 10, and a cavitation bubble group is continuously generated; the cavitation groups reach the near-wall surface area of the surface to be polished of the workpiece 7 under the drive of the micro jet 9 to be collapsed, and the polishing efficiency of the micro jet 9 is improved by means of energy generated by collapse of the cavitation groups.
By adjusting the sound wave transmitting frequency and power of the multi-channel phase-controlled transmitting system 1, the active control of the size and the cavitation intensity of the air bubbles is realized under the condition of not changing the technological parameters of the micro jet 9.
By adjusting the phase delay time of the excitation pulse, the height position of the acoustic wave focusing point 10, i.e., the cavitation bubble generation region, can be adjusted. The height position of the cavitation bubble primary region directly determines the height position of the cavitation bubble burst collapse impact region 8 under the condition that the flow velocity of the micro jet 9 is constant. Therefore, the invention can adjust the height position of the cavitation bubble burst collapse impact area 8 in the micro-jet 9 by adjusting the excitation pulse phase delay time under the condition of not changing the process parameters such as the height of the nozzle 6 from the surface of the workpiece 7, the flow velocity of the micro-jet 9 and the like.
In the invention, the numerical value of the phase delay time is determined by fluid mechanics calculation by combining the flow velocity of the micro jet 9, the life cycle of the cavitation group and the height position of the cavitation group collapse impact region 8 which is designed in advance.
In the present invention, the micro-jet 9 is a low viscosity liquid-solid two-phase fluid, which ensures that the fluid environment has a lower cavitation threshold.

In the present invention, the piezoelectric ceramic having a ring structure is barium titanate-based piezoelectric ceramic or lead zirconate titanate-based piezoelectric ceramic.
Preferably, the first implementation: step polishing of workpiece surface
As shown in fig. 5 and 6, in a specific polishing process, polishing can be divided into two stages, namely rough polishing and finish polishing, so as to avoid cavitation damage caused by too high cavitation intensity. In the rough polishing stage, the prepared abrasive particles flow through a high-pressure water pump and are injected into the conical jet flow cavity 5, and a microjet 9 is formed through the bottom nozzle 6 to polish the workpiece 7; on the basis of this, the multi-channel phase-controlled transmitting system 1 is in time interval Deltat1Exciting each annular structure piezoelectric ceramic, stably focusing the sound wave 11 generated by each annular structure piezoelectric ceramic at a sound wave focusing point 10, and continuously generating cavitation bubble groups because the sound pressure of the area is greater than a cavitation threshold value; the generated cavitation bubble group directly impacts the surface of the workpiece 7 under the driving of the micro jet 8, and the energy generated by the collapsed cavitation bubbles on the surface of the workpiece 7 effectively improves the abrasive particle jet polishing efficiency; the whole polishing device completes rough polishing on the whole surface of the workpiece 7 under the driving of the mechanical arm or the six-degree-of-freedom moving platform.
After the rough polishing is finished, the whole polishing device returns to the polishing starting point under the driving of the manipulator or the six-degree-of-freedom moving platform, and the finish polishing of the whole surface of the workpiece 7 is started. In the fine polishing stage, the transmission power of the multi-channel phase-controlled transmission system 1 is reduced, and simultaneously the phase delay time is changed into delta t2) And controlling the position of the sound wave focusing point 10 to move upwards, so that the cavitation collapse impact area 8 is separated from the surface of the workpiece 7, the enhancement of the cavitation collapse on the abrasive particle-wall surface impact kinetic energy is directly weakened, and cavitation erosion damage is avoided.
The prepared micro jet 9 is a low-viscosity liquid-solid two-phase fluid, and the fluid environment is guaranteed to have a lower cavitation threshold.
The phase delay time Δ t1The specific numerical value of (2) needs to be combined with the flow velocity of the micro jet 9 and the height of the nozzle 6 from the surface of the workpiece to carry out fluid mechanics calculation, so that the service life cycle of the cavitation bubble group is ensured to be longer than the time required for the cavitation bubble group to move from the inlet of the nozzle 6 to the surface of the workpiece 7.
The phase delay time Δ t2The specific numerical value of (2) needs to be calculated by combining the life cycle of the cavitation group on the basis of the calculation, so that the life cycle of the cavitation group is ensured to be smaller than the time required for the cavitation group to move from the inlet of the nozzle 6 to the surface of the workpiece 7.
The second preferred embodiment: polishing for high aspect ratio micro-scale parts
As shown in fig. 7, when the micro-scale component with a high aspect ratio is faced, the excitation pulse phase delay time can be adjusted for multiple times in the polishing process of the micro-jet 9, and the sound wave focus point 10 is controlled to move back and forth along the height direction, so that the cavitation collapse impact area 8 moves back and forth along the depth direction of the workpiece, and the uniform coverage of the cavitation impact on the wall surface of the micro-groove of the workpiece 7 is realized.
The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the technical solutions of the present invention, so long as the technical solutions can be realized on the basis of the above embodiments without creative efforts, which should be considered to fall within the protection scope of the patent of the present invention.
