Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of solid-state laser cooling technology, specifically disclosing a CNC water-cooled rotating mechanism for laser crystals. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state lasers are lasers that use solid-state laser materials as their working medium. The working medium consists of a small amount of activating ions uniformly doped into a crystal or glass that serves as the matrix material.

[0003] In existing solid-state lasers, the gain medium (crystal) is generally fixed. Continuous laser light is generated by optical excitation that forces high-energy particles to transition to lower energy levels. During operation, the crystal continuously generates heat, and insufficient cooling can lead to crystal damage. This is a significant factor contributing to the failure of existing solid-state lasers. Summary of the Invention

An inlet and an outlet are respectively connected to the interior of one side of the housing. Two symmetrically distributed outlet sealing covers are fixedly installed on the outer side of the housing away from the CNC drive device. Two symmetrically distributed end caps are movably fitted inside the outlet sealing covers and are fixedly fitted inside the transmission mechanism. A crystal located inside the transmission mechanism is engaged between the two end caps. A first static sealing gasket is fitted inside the outlet sealing cover and between the housing and the outlet sealing cover. A pressure-compensated rotary sealing ring is fixedly fitted to the outer side of the end cap and is movably fitted inside the outlet sealing cover. A second static sealing gasket is fitted between the end cap and the crystal. Coolant flow channels communicating with the inlet and outlet are provided inside the transmission mechanism, the outlet sealing cover, and the end caps, respectively. A vent is provided at the top of the housing, and a diversion port is provided at the bottom of the housing.

[0005] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a first gear, a second gear, and a gear shaft that are rotatably connected inside the housing from left to right, and a gear shaft that is engaged with the outside of the output shaft of the CNC drive device. A turntable is fixedly mounted on the outside of the end of the gear shaft away from the CNC drive device.

[0007] Preferably, both the coolant splitting and pressure dividing channels and the coolant merging and pressure combining channels are threaded with sealing plugs, and there are six inlet channels and six outlet channels, which are distributed in a ring at equal intervals.

[0008] Preferably, the end cap has six guide channels inside, and the six guide channels are distributed in a one-to-one correspondence with the liquid inlet channel and the liquid outlet channel.

[0009] Preferably, both the inlet and outlet of the liquid inlet are equipped with temperature difference and pressure difference measuring devices.

[0010] Beneficial effects:

[0011] 1. The CNC water-cooled rotating mechanism for laser crystals, through the coordinated use of the first gear, the second gear, and the gear shaft, enables the water-cooled rotating mechanism to drive the crystal to rotate under the drive of the CNC drive device. At the same time, different parts of the crystal emit lasers in sequence, and the heat can be forcibly removed from the crystal by the coolant around the crystal. The crystal is fully cooled in both time and space, thus solving the problem of laser crystal overheating and damage.

[0012] 2. This CNC water-cooled rotating mechanism for laser crystals enables the emission of huge or even extremely high-energy lasers from very small laser crystals, and the lasers are continuous. The crystals will not be damaged due to the huge laser energy. This has guiding significance for the miniaturization, economy and durability of laser crystals. Attached Figure Description

[0021] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the invention. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, only the parts relevant to the invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

[0022] The accompanying drawings in this embodiment of the invention: The different types of cross-sectional lines in the drawings are not labeled according to national standards, nor do they specify the material requirements of the components. They are used to distinguish the cross-sectional views of the components in the drawings.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-6The laser crystal CNC water-cooled rotating mechanism includes a housing 1, a transmission mechanism 2 fixedly installed inside the housing 1, a CNC drive device 3 fixedly installed outside the housing 1 with its output shaft engaged inside the transmission mechanism 2, and support feet 4 located at the bottom of both sides of the housing 1. The CNC drive device 3 drives a gear-driven rotating body with a crystal 9 to rotate at an adjustable speed. The rotation of the crystal 9 causes different parts to act as gain media, generating laser light sequentially. This provides a buffer space for heat dissipation of the crystal and provides spatial support for the small crystal to generate a large-energy laser. An inlet 5 and an outlet 6 are respectively connected to the interior of one side of the housing 1. The inlet 5 and outlet 6 allow for coolant circulation within the water-cooled rotating mechanism via the coolant flow channel 13. Forced coolant direct contact with the crystal 9 removes heat, providing a buffer for cooling and bolstering market support for lasers that generate enormous energy from small crystals. Two symmetrically distributed outlet sealing covers 7 are fixedly installed on the outer side of the housing 1, away from the CNC drive device 3. Inside each outlet sealing cover 7 are two symmetrically distributed end covers 8, fixedly fitted inside the transmission mechanism 2. The crystal 9, located inside the transmission mechanism 2, is engaged between the two end covers 8. The inner side of end cap 7 is fitted with a first static sealing gasket 10 located between the housing 1 and the outlet sealing cover 7. The outer side of end cap 8 is fixedly fitted with a pressure-compensating rotary sealing ring 11 that is movably fitted onto the outlet sealing cover 7. The pressure-compensating rotary sealing ring 11 and end cap 8 achieve pressure-compensating rotary sealing and flow-diverting rotary sealing protection functions. A second static sealing gasket 12 is fitted between end cap 8 and crystal 9, serving both to seal the coolant and to drive and absorb shock, ensuring smooth operation of crystal 9. Through the combined use of the pressure-compensating rotary sealing ring 11, the second static sealing gasket 12, and the coolant flow channel 13, water cooling... The rotating mechanism forms a pressure-compensated rotary sealing mechanism, a flow-diverting rotary sealing protection mechanism, and a static and dynamic sealing combination and separation device, providing various protection measures between the coolant and the laser crystal to ensure the stability of the laser. The transmission mechanism 2, the outlet sealing cover 7, and the end cover 8 are provided with coolant flow channels 13 that are respectively connected to the inlet 5 and the outlet 6. The top of the box 1 is provided with a vent 14, which can ensure that the air pressure of the water-cooled rotating mechanism is the same as that of the outside air, so that excess coolant can be discharged and collected through the diversion port 15. The bottom of the box 1 is also provided with a diversion port 15.

[0024] The transmission mechanism 2 includes a first gear 21, a second gear 22, and a gear shaft 23 that are rotatably connected inside the housing 1 from left to right, and are engaged with the output shaft of the CNC drive device 3. A turntable 24 is fixedly mounted on the outer side of the end of the gear shaft 23 away from the CNC drive device 3. The gear shaft 23 can be manually rotated by the turntable 24, which facilitates engaging the output shaft of the CNC drive device 3 inside the gear shaft 23.

[0025] The coolant flow channel 13 includes a coolant diversion and pressure dividing flow channel 131 and a coolant merging and pressure combining flow channel 132 disposed inside the outlet sealing cap 7 and connected to the inlet 5 and outlet 6 respectively, a guide channel 133 disposed inside the end cap 8, and an inlet channel 134 and an outlet channel 135 disposed inside the first gear 21. The unique combination of diversion and pressure dividing flow channels and merging and pressure combining flow channels provides engineering support and provides a method for stable flow and stable pressure in crystal microstructures without thermal shock.

[0026] The coolant splitting and pressure dividing channel 131 and the coolant merging and pressure combining channel 132 are both threaded with sealing plugs. There are six inlet channels 134 and six outlet channels 135, and the six inlet channels 134 and outlet channels 135 are all distributed in a ring at equal intervals. The coolant is delivered to the crystal 9 around the crystal 9 through the coolant splitting and pressure dividing channel 131 and directly contacts the non-emitting surface of the crystal 9. After cooling the crystal 9, the coolant is collected and returned to the water tank through the coolant merging and pressure combining channel 132. At the same time, the coolant is protected from leakage by the pressure-compensated rotary sealing ring 11. The splitting rotary sealing protection mechanism ensures that even if leakage occurs, the crystal will not be damaged, thus achieving the rotary cooling of the laser crystal.

[0027] The end cap 8 has six guide channels 133 inside, and the six guide channels 133 are distributed one-to-one with the liquid inlet channel 134 and the liquid outlet channel 135. This structure ensures that the liquid inlet channel 134 and the liquid outlet channel 135 inside the first gear 21 are always connected to the guide channels 133 inside the end cap 8 during the rotation of the first gear 21. As a result, the coolant can be fully delivered to the surface of the crystal 9 for heat dissipation during the rotation of the crystal 9.

[0028] The inlet and outlet of liquid inlet 5 and liquid outlet 6 are equipped with temperature difference and pressure difference measuring devices, which can quantitatively measure heat capacity and crystal cooling rate.

[0029] When the water-cooled rotating mechanism is working, the CNC drive device 3 is activated and the inlet 5 and outlet 6 are connected. The CNC drive device 3 drives the first gear 21 to rotate synchronously with the crystal 9 through the gear shaft 23 and the second gear 22. The speed of the CNC drive device 3 is stable and can be infinitely adjusted. At the same time, the coolant enters the coolant diversion and pressure distribution channel 131 through the inlet 5, and is transported to the surface of the crystal 9 through the guide channel 133 and the inlet channel 134. Through special diversion, the flow rate and pressure are stabilized, and there will be no thermal shock to the crystal 9. The coolant surrounding the crystal 9 forces the crystal 9 to cool down stably as required, and removes heat. As the coolant is continuously transported, the excess coolant enters the outlet channel 135, flows into the interior of the support leg 4 through the guide channel 133 and the coolant merging and pressure distribution channel 132, and flows back to the coolant return tank through the support leg 4.
