[0042] Moreover, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and are not to be construed as indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features. Thus, features defining "first" and "second" may include one or more of the features either explicitly or implicitly. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "a plurality" or "multiple" is two or more unless otherwise specifically defined.
[0043] Referring to FIGS. 1-6, a grinding wheel tool for microgroove processing provided by the present application is described. The grinding wheel tool for microgroove processing includes a grinding wheel tool body 10, and the grinding wheel tool body 10 is formed by sequentially stacking a plurality of grinding wheel sheets 11 along a thickness direction of each of the plurality of grinding wheel sheets, and the grinding wheel sheets 11 has an outside end face, and the outside end faces of all the grinding wheel sheets form a processing end face 12 of the grinding wheel tool body 10, and the processing end face 12 is used to process a microgroove 201. Notches 101 are defined in the outside end faces of each of the plurality of grinding wheel sheets 11, the notches 101 on different grinding wheel sheets 11 have different widths W, and different grinding wheel sheets 11 have different outer edge circumferences. The smaller the widths of the notches 101 are, the larger the outer edge circumference of the grinding wheel sheet 11 is, and the more slowly the outside end face of the grinding wheel sheet 11 wears; the larger the widths of the notches 101 are, the smaller the outer edge circumference of the grinding wheel sheet 11 is, and the faster the outside end face of the grinding wheel sheet 11 wears, thereby forming the processing end face 12 with a contour shape being a predetermined shape.
[0044] Each of the plurality of grinding wheel sheets has the same initial diameter. In the initial state, all the outside end faces of all the grinding wheel sheets are flush, i.e., the processing end face 12 of the grinding wheel tool is a plane. In the process of grinding the microgroove 201 on the workpiece 20 by the grinding wheel tool body 10, since the notches 101 on different grinding wheel sheets 11 have different widths, different grinding wheel sheets 11 have different outer edge circumferences, thereby making the wear speeds of the outside end face of the different grinding wheel sheets different. The smaller the widths of the notches 101 are, the larger the outer edge circumference of the grinding wheel sheet 11 is, and the more slowly the outside end face of the grinding wheel sheet 11 wears, and the larger the widths of the notches 101 are, the smaller the outer edge circumference of the grinding wheel sheet 11 is, and the faster the outside end face of the grinding wheel sheet 11 wears. For the grinding process of the microgroove of the same depth, the contour shape of the processing end face of the grinding wheel tool body is gradually trued into a stable predetermined shape, so as to enable the grinding wheel tool to have the self-truing ability, the contour shape of the processing end face can remain constant at all times, with no need of frequent dressing and truing, thereby effectively improving the grinding efficiency and improving the form accuracy of the microgroove processing, and it has effectively solved the problem that the microgroove processing technology using the existing traditional grinding wheel tool has relatively fast wearing of the grinding wheel tool, difficulties in long-term and continuous processing, and relatively poor processing efficiency. In addition, by changing the width of the notches 101, the contour shape of the processing end face 12 of the grinding wheel tool body 10 can be finally trued into different shapes, thereby, microgrooves of various shapes can be processed.
[0045] Further, referring to FIG. 6, as one embodiment of the grinding wheel tool for microgroove processing provided by the present application, the number of notches 101 on each of the plurality of grinding wheel sheets 11 is multiple, and a plurality of notches 101 on each of the plurality of grinding wheel sheets 11 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the grinding wheel sheet, so as to enable the shape of the outside end face of the same grinding wheel sheet to be consistent throughout the processing of the microgrooves.
[0046] Further, referring to FIGS. 1-6, as a specific embodiment of the grinding wheel tool for microgroove processing provided by the present application, the notch 101 extends from the outside end face of the grinding wheel sheet 11 toward the rotation center of the grinding wheel sheet along the radial direction of the grinding wheel sheet.

The width W of the notch 101 gradually increases from the grinding wheel sheet located at an intermediate position toward the grinding wheel sheet located at the two sides, so as to enable the degree of wear of the outside end face of the grinding wheel sheet to gradually increase from the middle to the both sides, such that the contour shape of the processing end face finally forms the desired shape.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 10, the present application also provides a method for fabricating a microgroove, by using the grinding wheel tool for microgroove processing as described above, including steps S10, S20, and S30.
[0053] S10, defining notches of different widths on the outside end faces of the plurality of grinding wheel sheets.
[0054] The width and the number of the notch can be set according to actual needs, which is not limited hereto. The outside end faces of all the grinding wheel sheets form the processing end face of the grinding wheel tool body, and the processing end face is used to process the microgroove.
[0055] S20, assembling the grinding wheel sheets obtained in S10 in a predetermined stacking order to obtain the grinding wheel tool body.
[0056] In step S20, "predetermined stacking order" refers to selecting the stacking order between the individual grinding wheel sheets according to actual needs, for example, when it is required to process a V-shaped or U-shaped microgroove, the grinding wheel sheets can be stacked in such a manner that the width of the notch gradually increases from the middle to the both sides, when it is required to process an inverted V-shaped or inverted U-shaped microgroove, the grinding wheel sheets can be stacked in such a manner that the width of the notch is gradually reduced from the middle to the both sides, and when it is required to process an asymmetric microgroove, it is also possible to stack the grinding wheel sheets with different widths in an asymmetric manner.

[0058] The trued contour shape of the processing end face is related to the width of the notch of the grinding wheel sheet and the arrangement of the grinding wheel sheet. By changing the width of the notch of the grinding wheel sheet and the arrangement of the grinding wheel sheet, the processing end faces with different contour shapes can be obtained, and finally microgrooves with different longitudinal cross-sectional shapes are obtained. The contour shape of the processing end face can be selected according to the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the microgroove required for the workpiece, for example, when the longitudinal cross-sectional shape of the microgroove needs to be V-shaped, U-shaped, inverted U-shaped, inverted V-shaped, or obliquely shaped, the contour shape of the processing end face needs to be correspondingly trued into a V-shape, a U-shape, an inverted U-shape, an inverted V-shape, or an obliquely shape. The workpiece can be a hard, brittle material workpiece, such as aluminum alloy, die steel or titanium alloy.
[0059] The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
