[0084] Specifically, the compressed air input module inputs compressed air to the first right-angle air pipe 30 and the second right-angle air pipe 50.

[0085] In actual operation, due to the special angle setting of the first right-angle air pipe 30 and the second right-angle air pipe 50, when the compressed air enters the annular containing space inside the outer cover 20 from the first output port 32 and the second output port, it will first pass through the input gas path 211 and become a vortex gas spiral spiraling upwards around the light path inner core 10 in the input gas path 211; when the compressed air rises to touch the top cover sealing plate 40 on the top wall of the outer cover 20, the input gas path 211 divides the compressed air into hot gas flow and cold gas flow; the hot gas flow enters the first gas path 212 and is finally discharged from the left hot gas outlet hole and the right hot gas outlet hole respectively, and the discharge rate is controlled by the first micro electromagnetic valve 60 and the second micro electromagnetic valve 70; the cold gas flow enters the second gas path 221 and is finally discharged from the second outlet hole 22, realizing the cooling of the laser cutting head nozzle end.

2. The integrated control module controls the opening and closing degree of the micro electromagnetic valve to keep the real-time temperature data within the target temperature range. One end of the first air outlet hole (21) is connected with the first air path (212) and used as an outlet of the hot air flow; the micro electromagnetic valve is located at the other end of the first air outlet hole (21).

4. The vortex cooling method according to claim 3, characterized by, The first air outlet hole (21) is arranged on the outer side wall of the cover (20); the micro electromagnetic valve is arranged outside the cover (20) and corresponds to the position of the first air outlet hole (21); a support and a pressing plate are arranged between the micro electromagnetic valve and the cover (20) and fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the cover through the support and the pressing plate.

5. The vortex cooling method according to claim 4, characterized by The temperature detection module comprises a temperature detection sensor; the temperature detection sensor is arranged inside the micro electromagnetic valve; 6. The vortex cooling method according to claim 1 or 5, characterized by The temperature detection sensor is used for monitoring the temperature of the vortex cooling device in real time. ​
