Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to a water-conducting laser processing device and a processing system, belonging to the technical field of laser processing. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the medical, aviation, aerospace, and semiconductor fields, the performance requirements for key components are getting higher and higher, which has promoted the improvement and improvement of parts processing methods and equipment. In the field of parts cutting and processing, traditional cutting processing methods are mainly mechanical cutting and high-pressure water cutting. However, the above processing methods have the problems of low processing efficiency and low processing accuracy. In order to solve the above problems, technicians in this field have developed laser cutting processing devices, which are superior to traditional cutting processing methods in terms of processing efficiency, processing accuracy and environmental protection. However, laser cutting processing will cause a certain degree of thermal damage to the material. In order to solve the problem of thermal damage to the material, water-guided laser processing devices came into being.
[0003] The water-guided laser processing device is a composite processing technology that uses a water jet to guide the laser beam to cut the workpiece. Due to the different refractive indices of water and air, when the laser beam irradiates the interface between water and air at a certain angle, if the incident angle is less than the critical angle of total reflection, the laser will be totally reflected and will not be transmitted out, which makes the laser energy always confined in the water beam so that the laser propagates along the direction of the water beam.
[0004] The water-guided laser processing device in the prior art can achieve high-quality cutting of thin plates within 5mm, but as the processing depth increases, the water-guided laser also has a certain processing taper effect. The main reason is that the distribution of light in the radial section of the water column conforms to the Gaussian distribution law, that is, the power density of light is larger near the axis of the water column, and the power density is smaller near the surface of the water column. This makes the material removal energy stronger near the axis of the water column, while the material removal energy is very weak near the surface of the water column, thereby limiting the thickness of the workpiece cut by the water-guided laser.

[0054] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with embodiments, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0055] The water-conducting laser processing device of the present invention comprises a beam adjustment device, a focusing lens 2 and a coupling water cavity 7; the beam adjustment device is used to adjust the position and angle of the laser; the focusing lens 2 is used to focus the laser adjusted by the beam adjustment device and then inject it into the coupling water cavity 7; the coupling water cavity 7 is used to transmit the focused laser along the outgoing water column 11 at the water outlet 23 of the coupling water cavity, so as to use the laser in the outgoing water column 11 to process the workpiece; the focus of the laser in the outgoing water column 11 is fixedly set away from the axis of the outgoing water column 11 or moves in a circular motion along the edge of the outgoing water column 11. Specifically: the beam adjustment device is used to adjust the position and angle of the laser 1 injected into the focusing lens 2 in real time, so that the focus position of the laser injected into the coupling water cavity 7 through the focusing lens 2 moves in a circular motion along the edge of the water outlet of the coupling water cavity; the focus position of the laser in the coupling water cavity 7 is characterized by an eccentricity H and an angle θ. The eccentricity H is the distance between the laser beam and the axis of the water outlet of the coupling water cavity, and the angle θ is the angle between the laser beam and the axis of the water outlet of the coupling water cavity. The focusing lens 2 is used to focus the laser adjusted by the beam adjustment device and inject it into the coupling water cavity 7; the coupling water cavity 7 is used to guide the laser in the coupling water cavity 7 to be transmitted along the outgoing water column 11 at the water outlet of the coupling water cavity, and use the laser in the outgoing water column 11 to cut the workpiece 10. The present application uses the beam adjustment device to achieve that the focus position of the laser emitted from the coupling water cavity 7 deviates from the axis of the outgoing water column and is fixed or moves in a circle along the edge of the outgoing water column, so that the power distribution of the laser in the outgoing water column 11 at the water outlet of the coupling water cavity is more uniform, which improves the taper effect when the water-guided laser cuts the workpiece, expands the deep processing capability, and is of great significance to the high-precision processing of materials in the aerospace and civil fields.

If only the first rotating adjustment device 20 is used to realize the focal position of the laser in the coupling water cavity 7 to move in a circular motion along the edge of the outlet of the coupling water cavity, it is necessary to ensure that the first adjustment plate moves on the frame 3 and the first adjustment plate itself rotates at the same time. The first adjustment plate used in the present application is preferably a total reflection mirror.
[0058] In order to realize the function of the beam adjustment device to adjust the position and angle of the laser incident on the focusing lens 2 in real time, the beam adjustment device of the present application can also adopt another structure, which includes a first rotation adjustment device 20 and a second rotation adjustment device 21, and the two rotation adjustment devices cooperate with each other. The structure of the first rotation adjustment device 20 is as above, and the second rotation adjustment device 21 includes a second rotation device and a second adjustment plate; the first adjustment plate and the second adjustment plate used in the present application are preferably total reflection mirrors. The rotation axis of the second rotation device is connected to the second adjustment plate, and the rotation axis of the second rotation device is perpendicular to the rotation axis of the first rotation device; the second adjustment plate is used to receive the laser emitted from the first adjustment plate and reflect the received laser. The laser emitted through the second adjustment plate is incident on the focusing lens 2 at different positions and angles, and the laser emitted from the focusing lens 2 is transmitted along the outgoing water column at the outlet of the coupling water chamber; the focus of the laser in the outgoing water column is fixedly set away from the axis of the outgoing water column or moves in a circular motion along the edge of the outgoing water column.

The high-pressure water can be ordinary drinking water or ultrapure water.
[0061] To prevent the microbubbles in the coupling water cavity 7 from adhering to or staying at the laser emitting surface of the window lens 5 to affect the laser transmission, the laser receiving surface of the window lens 5 is set as a plane, and the laser emitting surface of the window lens 5 is set as a convex surface; the convex surface can be an arc convex surface or a truncated cone convex surface.

[0063] In order to increase the stability of the air flow, the present application sets a water vapor outlet 24 extending outward along the outer wall of the gas chamber 8, and the water vapor outlet 24 is connected to the outer wall of the gas chamber 8 in an arc. The diameter of the water vapor outlet 24 is greater than or equal to the diameter of the coupled water cavity outlet 23.
