Description
Technical Field
The utility model belongs to optics precision measurement field, concretely relates to high accuracy circular arc sword diamond tool blade profile optical measurement device.
Background
The diamond cutter has important application in the ultraprecise cutting processing of core parts in the fields of aerospace, astronomy, nuclear technology, information, traffic and the like. A large number of theoretical and experimental researches show that the quality of the arc profile of the cutting edge of the diamond cutter, including the arc profile degree of the tool nose, the arc waviness, the micro-gap of the cutting edge and the like, are important factors influencing the processing quality of workpieces. Therefore, the accurate measurement of the quality of the full-edge arc profile of the diamond tool is of great importance to the quality of the workpiece to be controlled.
At present, the quality measurement of the arc profile of the cutting edge of the diamond cutter mainly comprises the following methods: atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurement, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) measurement, and optical microscopy measurement. In the atomic force microscope measuring method, a probe is in direct contact with the surface of a measured object, and three-dimensional information including a height value is measured through probe feedback, so that the method has a small single-measurement area, is complex and tedious to operate and has high measurement difficulty; the scanning electron microscope measurement method uses high-energy electrons to bombard the surface of a sample, excites secondary electrons, and obtains the surface appearance of the sample through the feedback of the excited secondary electrons, and the method also has the problems of small measurement area, complex operation and the like; the optical microscopy measurement method adopts the optical amplification principle to realize efficient and simple micron-scale precision measurement, and is always the first option of 'rough' measurement (relative to AFM and SEM) and qualitative analysis of the arc profile of the cutting edge of the diamond cutter.
The existing optical microscope measuring system is often provided with a plurality of objective lenses with different parameters to meet different measuring requirements, and in the optical microscope measuring process of the diamond cutter, only a small section area in the circular arc of the diamond cutter can be measured by single measurement due to the limitation of the resolution, the multiplying power and the imaging quality of the optical lenses. The full cutting edge measurement can be performed only by once adjusting the X, Y direction of the two-dimensional feeding mechanism at the same time after measuring a section of the circular arc of the cutter each time, and performing circular interpolation until the full cutting edge measurement is completed. However, under a high-power objective lens, the target area of the tool in the original field of view is very easy to lose by the measuring method, and once the target area is lost, the target area is difficult to retrieve, and at the moment, the tool has to be set again, the two-dimensional feeding mechanism is reset, and the measurement is carried out again. The measurement mode not only leads to repeated resetting and positioning error of the circle center of the arc caused by cutter resetting, but also has the difficult problem of splicing multiple sections of images. The patent with application number 201210508949.3 discloses a manual adjustment platform of a cutter optical measurement system, which is loaded with a CCD camera and has simple structure; patent No. 201310345958.X discloses a tool shape measuring device, which is mainly used for realizing automatic measurement of a tool and avoiding the influence of jitter and other human factors in manual measurement. However, the measuring devices of the two patents are mainly used for measuring the profiles of common turning tools and milling cutters in real time, the optical systems of the measuring devices are low in resolution, the measuring devices cannot be used for high-precision measurement of diamond cutters in the field of ultra-precision machining, and the full-edge continuous measurement of the cutters cannot be realized.
