Detailed Implementation
[0025] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 A dual-axis adjustment bracket for a laser heating lens includes an inner bearing ring 1, which includes a steering ball 11 and a steering column 12. The outer wall of the steering ball 11 is sleeved with the outer bearing ring 2 at its center. The inner wall of the outer bearing ring 2 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the steering ball 11. The outer wall of the outer bearing ring 2 is detachably connected to a dual-axis adjustment sleeve 3. The outer wall of the dual-axis adjustment sleeve 3 is connected to several sets of spring screws 4 and manual adjustment screws 5 at positions corresponding to the steering column 12. The spring screws 4 and manual adjustment screws 5 are placed coaxially. The working ends of the spring screws 4 and manual adjustment screws 5 are attached to the outer wall of the steering column 12. The inner wall of the inner bearing ring 1 is connected to a laser heating lens.
[0027] The inner wall of the bearing inner ring 1 provides a limiting position for the installation of the laser heating mirror. The rotational combination of the steering ball 11 and the outer ring 2 of the bearing achieves the basic requirement of universal rotation of the laser heating mirror. By installing the outer ring 2 of the bearing on the inner wall of the dual-axis adjusting sleeve 3, and by using multiple sets of coaxial spring screws 4 and manual adjusting screws 5, the outer wall of the steering column 12 is clamped in all directions, thus limiting the direction of the steering column 12. The operator can rotate the manual adjusting screw 5 to make the inner ring 1 of the bearing rotate in multiple directions within the outer ring 2 of the bearing, enabling the laser collimator to achieve the operational requirement of adjusting the laser heating beam angle at a large angle. Moreover, the overall structure of the device is simple, small in size, and has low production cost, making it easy for operators to use and maintain, further demonstrating the overall practicality and precision of the device.
[0028] During the experimental processing of the device of this invention, bearing inner rings 1 with different inner diameters were processed to adapt to laser collimating lenses with diameters of 5-20mm, resulting in a device with dimensions of 40*40*30mm. This device allows the laser collimating lens to have an adjustable angle range of ±20° in both the vertical and horizontal directions, greatly enhancing the flexibility of adjusting the laser heating beam's irradiation position and further improving the convenience and efficiency of laser heating operations.
[0029] In this case, the spring screw 4 includes a sleeve 41. The outer wall of the sleeve 41 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the dual-axis adjusting sleeve 3. A sliding cavity 44 is opened inside the sleeve 41. A spring 42 is connected to one end of the sliding cavity 44, and a movable rod 43 is connected to the other end of the spring 42. The movable rod 43 has a T-shaped cross-section. The side wall of the movable rod 43 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the port of the sliding cavity 44. A reinforcing block 45 is threadedly fitted onto the sleeve 41. The reinforcing block 45 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the dual-axis adjusting sleeve 3. Through the threaded connection of the sleeve 41, the overall position of the spring screw 4 is adjustable, which increases the practicality of the device and facilitates manual adjustment and subsequent replacement and maintenance. While the spring 42 applies inward pressure to the movable rod 43, it also provides the movable rod 43 with room for expansion and contraction, improving the overall integrity of the device. The reinforcing block 45 further improves the stability of the connection between the sleeve 41 and the dual-axis adjusting sleeve 3.
[0030] In this case, the manual adjustment screw 5 includes a stop screw 51. The outer wall of the stop screw 51 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the dual-axis adjustment sleeve 3. The stop screw 51 is connected to the spherical end 53 near the inner ring 1 of the bearing. The other end of the stop screw 51 is coaxially fixedly connected to the rotating handwheel 52. By rotating the handwheel 52, the convenience of the operator in adjusting the position of the spherical end 53 is improved, and it is convenient to apply pressure to the steering column 12 and to change the direction of the steering column 12.
[0031] In this case, the front and rear ends of the steering ball 11 are both cut vertically, and hollow slots are opened at the front and rear ends of the steering ball 11 and the corresponding laser heating mirrors of the steering column 12, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the laser heating mirrors and improves the overall integrity of the device.
[0032] In this case, the outer wall of the steering column 12 is provided with first flat grooves 13 in the four directions of up, down, left, and right. The outer wall of the steering column 12 is provided with universal screw sleeves 6 corresponding to the spherical end 53. The inner wall of the universal screw sleeve 6 is fitted onto the outer wall of the spherical end 53. The first flat grooves 13 keep the adjacent parts of the two sets of spring screws 4 and manual adjustment screws 5 at a 90-degree angle, so as to achieve all-round clamping of the outer wall of the steering column 12. In addition, during the production process, a connecting groove can be opened at the first flat groove 13 corresponding to the working end of the spring screw 4 to further increase the stability of the connection between the working end of the spring screw 4 and the outer wall of the steering column 12. The universal screw sleeves 6 increase the transmission of force between the steering column 12 and the manual adjustment screw 5, and improve the overall linkage stability of the device.
[0033] In this case, a hemispherical groove is provided on the side wall of the universal screw sleeve 6 corresponding to the spherical end 53, and the inner wall of the hemispherical groove is coated with lubricant to further improve the stability of the connection between the steering column 12 and the manual adjustment screw 5.
[0034] In this case, four sets of threaded grooves 21 are formed in a circumferential array on the outer wall of the bearing outer ring 2, and a limiting ring groove 22 is formed on the outer wall of the bearing outer ring 2 at the positions of the four sets of threaded grooves 21.
[0035] In this case, the dual-axis adjusting sleeve 3 includes a snap-fit end 31, a steering positioning block 32 fixedly connected to the side wall of the snap-fit end 31, an adjustment groove 311 corresponding to the outer wall of the bearing outer ring 2 on the side wall of the snap-fit end 31, and three sets of assembly holes 312 equally spaced on the inner wall of the snap-fit end 31. A limiting ring 313 is provided on the inner wall of the snap-fit end 31 at the positions corresponding to the three sets of assembly holes 312. The threaded groove 21 has the same diameter as the assembly hole 312. Three threaded grooves 21 are selected from the four sets and connected to the three sets of assembly holes 312 sequentially by bolts. During the fixing process, the position of the threaded groove 21 that is not connected is observed at the adjustment groove 311 to determine the accuracy of the overall placement position of the bearing outer ring 2, improving the convenience of the device assembly process. By making the inner wall of the limiting ring groove 22 fit with the outer wall of the limiting ring 313, the tightness and stability of the connection between the dual-axis adjusting sleeve 3 and the bearing outer ring 2 are further increased, improving the overall integrity of the device.
[0036] In this case, a second flat groove 321 is opened on the outer wall of the steering positioning block 32 at the position corresponding to the first flat groove 13. A spring screw 4 is sleeved on two adjacent second flat grooves 321, and a manual adjustment screw 5 is threaded on two adjacent locations. The stability of the connection between the spring screw 4, the manual adjustment screw 5 and the steering positioning block 32 is increased by the second flat groove 321, and the certainty of the angle between the spring screw 4 and the manual adjustment screw 5 is further increased.
[0037] In this case, the outer wall of the steering ball 11 and the inner wall of the bearing outer ring 2 are both inlaid or coated with a self-lubricating film, which improves the stability and convenience of the device during operation and extends the service life of the device.
[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
