Abstract:

In general, the in⁃mold micro assembly molding of micro⁃fine universal direction spherical mechanical kinematic pair is difficult to meet the technical requirements of manufacturing dimensional tolerances. To address this common technical bottleneck, the technology of the functional self⁃lubricating liquid film⁃assisted in⁃mold micro assembly molding was proposed to realize its high⁃precision micro forming and assembly. The synergistic evolution law between the manufacturing diameter dimensional tolerances of spherical micro assembly interface and the slip coefficient of functional self⁃lubricating liquid film was simulated and studied. The results indicated that the diameter tolerance of the micro assembly interface had a positive correlation with the slip coefficient. The diameter tolerance also had a positive correlation with the near surface coupling temperature, the thickness of the continuous phase⁃transformation evolution zone, the thermal fluid structure coupling pressure, the elastic normal stress, and the viscous drag shear stress in the micro spherical assembly interface. When the slip coefficient decreased from 1×109 to 1×103, the diameter dimensional tolerance of the micro assembly interface decreased from 211 μm to 19 μm along with an improvement in the manufacturing accuracy by 91 %, and meanwhile its maximum coupling temperature decreased by 4.7 %. The maximum thickness of the continuous phase change zone decreased by 23.8 %, and its thermal⁃fluid⁃solid coupling pressure, elastic positive stress, and viscous drag shear stress decreased by 73 %, 72.8 %, and 56.3 %, respectively. This was attributed to the mechanism to realize the precision micro assembly of micro⁃fine universal direction spherical mechanical kinematic pair.
