Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laser processing equipment, and specifically relates to a five-axis laser cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Invisible braces are a series of transparent aligners that gradually adjust the position and alignment of teeth, making them more straight and aesthetically pleasing. The manufacturing process of invisible braces generally includes: oral cavity morphology scanning, reconstructing the oral cavity model, 3D printing of the oral cavity model, aligner molding, and aligner cutting.
[0003] In the production of invisible braces, cutting is a time-consuming process. Currently, five-axis CNC machine tools are mostly used as cutting equipment to cut the braces, but the following problems often exist:
[0004] 1) The material of invisible braces is usually a transparent polymer material. During the cutting process, a tool is needed to cut along the cutting path. The blade tip is very easy to wear, resulting in burrs or rough edges on the cut edge. Afterwards, manual finishing and polishing are required, which leads to a longer production cycle and reduced processing efficiency.
[0005] 2) During the CNC cutting process, a large amount of chips are generated, which puts a heavy burden on the maintenance and cleaning of CNC equipment, reducing the service life and production efficiency of CNC equipment.
[0006] 3) Since five-axis CNC machine tools are general-purpose machining equipment and not special equipment designed for cutting and processing invisible braces, the structure and layout of their control system, five-axis motion module, cutter head, fixture components, etc. are not compact enough, resulting in them usually having a large volume and occupying a lot of space. They are not suitable for use in dental clinics and cannot meet the service tenet of digital dental treatment. Summary of the Invention

[0067] The beneficial effects of this invention are:
[0068] 1) This five-axis laser cutting machine divides its internal cavity into an upper mounting space and a lower mounting space. The fixture assembly, along with the sequentially connected Y-axis assembly, X-axis assembly, A-axis rotary assembly, and B-axis rotary assembly, are positioned in the lower mounting space, while the optical module and Z-axis assembly are positioned in the upper mounting space. On one hand, the A-axis rotary assembly and the B-axis rotary assembly, whose drive components can rotate around the Y-axis and Z-axis respectively, allow the workpiece to move at more angles and in more postures, thus enabling continuous curve cutting of complex products and facilitating high-efficiency production. On the other hand, the laser cutting... The Z-axis assembly of the laser cutting head is independently set up compared to other axis assemblies. It only needs to drive the laser cutting head to move up and down, without needing to drive the laser cutting head to move in other directions or rotate at other angles. This effectively ensures the stability of the cutting process and occupies less installation space, improving the compactness of the five-axis laser cutting machine and helping to reduce the size of the equipment. Therefore, it is suitable for use in space-constrained places such as dental clinics. In addition, by setting up an optical module to achieve laser cutting, not only can the cutting accuracy and efficiency be improved, but there is also no problem of blade wear. This ensures that the cut product edges are smooth and basically eliminates the need for manual finishing and polishing, thus reducing the workload of production.
[0069] 2) This five-axis laser cutting machine uses a dental mold fixing base as a clamping assembly. The dental mold positioning part on the main body of the fixing base can be used to position and cooperate with the dental mold. By setting at least three sets of snap-fit components with non-linearly distributed snap-fit positions, it can not only form snap-fit connections with the dental mold individually, but also is not affected by the irregular shape of the dental mold's outer periphery. It can also form a fixing structure with at least one triangular fixing position, resulting in good stability of the dental mold clamping. Therefore, this five-axis laser cutting machine is beneficial for clamping and fixing dental molds for dental brace cutting. It not only has good stability in clamping the dental mold, but also has high positioning accuracy, which helps to ensure the accuracy of dental brace cutting and ensures the safety of processing. In addition, the snap-fit connection after positioning by the dental mold positioning part can also ensure the convenience of dental mold assembly and disassembly, which helps to further improve the efficiency of dental brace cutting.
[0070] 3) The optical module of this five-axis laser cutting machine is equipped with an indicator light generator mounted on an indicator light adjustment frame. The indicator light adjustment structure of the indicator light adjustment frame is mainly composed of at least three indicator light adjustment rods whose axis centers are not on the same plane. The distance between the connection parts of the indicator light adjustment rods and the first indicator light adjustment plate and the connection parts of the indicator light adjustment rods and the second indicator light adjustment plate is adjustable. Therefore, by adjusting the relative distance of the connection parts on one, two or more indicator light adjustment rods, the first indicator light adjustment plate on which the indicator light generator is fixed can be tilted relative to the second indicator light adjustment plate in various circumferential directions, thereby causing the indicator light generator to tilt and adjust its light emission direction. This is very convenient and facilitates the installation and maintenance of the optical module.
[0071] 4) The optical module of the five-axis laser cutting machine is modularly designed, which makes the structure between various optical components compact, shortens the flight optical path, improves the safety of the equipment, and helps to reduce the installation space occupied, making room for the installation of other parts of the five-axis laser cutting machine, and further reducing the overall size of the five-axis laser cutting machine.
[0072] 5) By setting up an air blowing system, the five-axis laser cutting machine can use gas nozzles to blow away the smoke and dust generated during laser cutting, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of laser cutting; at the same time, by setting up an exhaust system, the exhaust inlet hood can be used to suck up the blown smoke and dust, preventing the smoke and dust from escaping into the working chamber and bringing a greater burden to the maintenance and cleaning of the five-axis laser cutting machine. Furthermore, the exhaust intake hood divides the inner cavity of the hood into at least two airflow channels by setting an airflow baffle inside the hood. The airflow channel farther from the air outlet of the hood has a larger cross-sectional area at the air outlet. In this way, the air inlet of the hood can be divided into a structure composed of two or more small openings, so that it can draw in air more evenly and reduce eddies and turbulence. Moreover, when the air outlet of the exhaust intake hood is connected to negative pressure for dust collection, the airflow channel farther from the air outlet of the hood can obtain a greater negative pressure suction force. This can increase the airflow velocity at the air inlet farther from the air outlet of the hood and decrease the airflow velocity at the air inlet closer to the air outlet of the hood. This makes the airflow distribution at the air inlet of the hood more uniform when the exhaust intake hood is collecting dust, which is conducive to improving the dust removal effect during laser cutting and further ensuring the quality of laser cutting.

[0109] The laser cutting head 510 is a component used to focus a laser beam to achieve laser cutting; the laser cutting head 510 is located at the laser head mounting part 3561 and can move along the Z-axis direction under the drive of the Z-axis assembly 350, so that its cutting nozzle extends into the lower mounting space to the position corresponding to the clamp assembly 400.
[0110] Laser 520 is a device that converts energy into a high-intensity, highly monochromatic, and highly coherent beam. It is mainly composed of components such as an excitation source, a laser crystal, and an optical cavity. Laser 520 is installed in the upper mounting space and electrically connected to the control system. Its light-emitting part is connected to the light-incident part of the laser cutting head 510 through the optical path assembly 530.
[0111] This five-axis laser cutting machine divides the inner cavity of its housing 100 into an upper mounting space and a lower mounting space. The fixture assembly 400, along with the sequentially connected Y-axis assembly 310, X-axis assembly 320, A-axis rotary assembly 330, and B-axis rotary assembly 340, are positioned in the lower mounting space, while the optical module 500 and Z-axis assembly 340 are positioned in the upper mounting space. On one hand, the A-axis rotary assembly 330 and the B-axis rotary assembly 340, whose drive components can rotate around the Y-axis, can drive the workpiece to move at more angles and in more postures, thereby enabling continuous curve cutting of complex products and facilitating high-efficiency production. On the other hand… The Z-axis assembly 350, equipped with the laser cutting head 510, is set independently from other axis assemblies. It only needs to drive the laser cutting head 510 to move up and down, without needing to drive the laser cutting head 510 to move in other directions or rotate at other angles. This effectively ensures the stability of the cutting process and occupies less installation space, improving the compactness of the five-axis laser cutting machine and helping to reduce the size of the equipment. This makes it suitable for use in space-constrained places such as dental clinics. In addition, by setting up the optical module 500 to realize laser cutting, not only can the cutting accuracy and efficiency be improved, but there is also no problem of blade wear. This ensures that the cut product edges are smooth and basically no longer require manual finishing and polishing, which helps to reduce the workload of production.
[0112] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the upper and lower mounting spaces are separated by a first transverse partition 120 within the inner cavity of the housing 100. A vertical partition 130 is provided in the upper mounting space, dividing it into a first electrical cavity and an upper second space. A second transverse partition 140 is provided in the upper second space, dividing it into a second electrical cavity and an optical component cavity located above the second electrical cavity. The control system includes a motor drive board and a main controller located in the first electrical cavity, and a circuit controller 210 located in the second electrical cavity. The laser 520 is located in the optical component cavity. By appropriately dividing the inner cavity of the housing 100, not only is the installation of various components facilitated, improving the overall compactness of the equipment and simplifying later maintenance, but it also helps ensure the stability and reliability of each component.

[0120] The aforementioned rotary axis A-axis assembly 330 can drive the rotary axis B-axis assembly 340, the fixture assembly 400 mounted on it, and the workpiece to rotate 360° around the Y-axis, thereby increasing the machinable range, facilitating the processing of products with more complex structures, and improving processing efficiency and accuracy. The A-axis mounting plate 331 serves as the mounting carrier for the rotary axis A-axis assembly 330. Driven by the X-axis nut seat 326, it can drive other components of the rotary axis A-axis assembly 330 to move along the X-axis guide rail 322 with the X-axis guide rail slider 323.

The A-axis motor 334 is generally mounted on the A-axis support plate 332 via an A-axis motor mount.
[0121] The aforementioned rotary B-axis assembly 340 can drive the fixture assembly 400 and the workpiece mounted on it to rotate 360° around the Z-axis, thereby increasing the machinable range, facilitating the processing of products with more complex structures, and improving processing efficiency and accuracy.

[0136] Preferred, combined Figure 3 , Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the clamping assembly 400 is a dental mold fixing base, which includes a fixing base body 410 and a snap-fit component 420;
[0137] The fixing body 410 is disposed at the clamp mounting part 3421, and is provided with a dental mold positioning part for positioning and engaging with the dental mold. The dental mold positioning part can have various structures, such as a positioning post disposed on the fixing body 410, a positioning hole disposed on the fixing body 410, or a positioning post and a positioning hole disposed on the fixing body 410. The fixing body 410 is usually provided with a fixing body connecting part for connecting with the clamp mounting part 3421. The fixing body connecting part can have various structures, such as a connecting hole, a connector, a nested mating structure, a magnetic connection structure, etc.
[0138] The main body 410 of the fixing seat is also provided with at least three buckle mounting positions. Each buckle mounting position is provided with a set of buckle components 420, and the buckle positions of at least three sets of buckle components 420 are not distributed along the same straight line. In this way, after the dental mold is clamped and fixed, a fixing structure with at least one triangular fixing position can be formed to improve the stability of clamping.
[0139] The latching component 420 includes a latching element 421 and a resetting element;
[0140] The snap fastener 421 is movably installed at the snap fastener mounting position, with its snap fastener portion 4211 protruding from the top surface of the fixing base body 410. The snap fastener portion 4211 is mainly used to cooperate with the part on the dental mold to be snapped to form a snap fastener connection. It can be a "C", "n", inverted "L" shape or other structures. The snap fastener 421 has a locking position. When it is in the locking position, the position of the snap fastener portion 4211 is the snap fastener position of the snap fastener component 420. The snap fastener 421 can leave the locking position under the action of external force so that the dental mold can be positioned and engaged with the dental mold positioning part.
[0141] The reset element is provided on the fixed base body 410. When no external force is applied to the buckle 421, it can drive the buckle 421, which has left the locking position, back to the locking position, and lock and fix the dental mold that is positioned and fitted on the dental mold positioning part. The reset element can be of various types, such as: spring, elastic sheet, elastic rope, etc.
[0142] Each of the snap-fit components 420 in the above structure can be connected to the dental mold to form an independent snap-fit connection structure to lock and fix the dental mold. Therefore, it is basically not affected by the irregular shape of the outer periphery of the dental mold, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the dental mold clamping and fixing.
[0143] Specifically, in combination Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the main body 410 of the fixing base includes a base 411 and a cover 412 disposed on the upper side of the base 411; the buckle mounting position includes a buckle groove 4121 opened on the top of the base 411 and / or the bottom of the cover 412, and a buckle through hole 4122 opened in the cover 412 and communicating with the buckle groove 4121; the buckle part 4211 passes through the buckle through hole 4122; a spring hole 4124 is opened at the part of the fixing base 410 near the inner end of the buckle groove 4121, and the reset member is a spring 422 disposed in the spring hole 4124, and the two ends of the spring 422 abut against the inner end face of the spring hole 4124 and the inner side face of the buckle member 421, respectively; a push rod through hole 4125 is opened at the part of the fixing base 410 near the outer end of the buckle groove 4121, and the push rod through hole 4125 communicates the buckle groove 4121 with the outside. The fixed base body 410 of this structure facilitates the installation of the snap-fit component 420 between the base 411 and the cover 412. It is not only easy to use but also has a simple structure, making processing and assembly convenient. The dental mold positioning part is preferably a positioning post and / or positioning hole located on the top surface of the cover 412. Using a spring 422 as a reset component not only simplifies the structure and makes installation convenient but also provides good reset action for the snap-fit component 421. Through the push rod through hole 4125, the operator can apply an external force to the snap-fit component 421 to move it away from its locked position, facilitating the removal of the fixed dental mold.
[0144] Based on the above, in order to perform multi-point positioning of the dental mold and protect the protruding clip part 4211, for example... Figure 7 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, each snap-fit hole 4122 has a C-shaped positioning post 4123 on its periphery at the top of the hole. When the snap-fit part 421 leaves the locking position or is reset, the snap-fit part 4211 can move along the direction of the opening of the C-shaped positioning post 4123, thereby engaging or disengaging with the dental mold.
[0145] Preferred, for example Figure 8 As shown, the fixing seat connection is a connecting seat 413 detachably mounted on the bottom of the base 411; the seat cover 412 is connected to the base 411 via a first connecting member 4111; the connecting seat 413 is connected to the base 411 via a second connecting member 4112. The fixing seat connection in the form of the connecting seat 413 facilitates installation and removal from the clamp mounting part 3421, improving the efficiency of dental brace cutting; the connecting seat 413 can have various shapes, such as rectangular, polygonal, circular, etc. The first connecting member 4111 and the second connecting member 4112 are mainly used to connect and fix components, which can be screws, pins, bolts, etc.
[0146] Preferred, for example Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, the dental mold holder also includes a disassembly rod 430, which includes a push rod 431. The inner end of the push rod 431 passes through the push rod through hole 4125 and is connected to the locking member 421. The push rod 431 of the disassembly rod 430 allows the operator to push the locking member 421 away from the locked position, thus facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the dental mold.
[0147] Based on the above, in order to simultaneously push multiple latching parts 421, the disassembly rod 430 also includes a connecting rod 432; each push rod through hole 4125 is provided with a push rod 431; the connecting rod 432 is located on the side of the fixing body 410 and is connected to the outer end of each push rod 431; when the latching part 421 is in the locked position, there is a pushing gap 433 between the connecting rod 432 and the fixing body 410. This structure of the disassembly rod 430 can use the connecting rod 432 to push multiple push rods 431, which is very convenient; to improve practicality, if the pushing direction of the connecting rod 432 is unidirectional, the opening of the "C"-shaped positioning post 4123 should also be in the same direction, for example: Figure 7 The implementation method shown.
[0148] Specifically, in combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 12 , Figure 13 and Figure 14As shown, the optical path assembly 530 includes an indicator light module 531, a beam combining module 532, a reflection module 533, and a beam expander module 534. The indicator light module 531 includes an indicator light generator 5311. The beam combining module 532 includes a beam combiner 5321 for combining the laser beam emitted by the laser 520 and the indicator beam emitted by the indicator light generator 5311 into a single beam. The reflection module 533 includes a reflector 5332, the light-incident portion of which corresponds to the light-outcident portion of the beam combiner 5321. The beam expander module 534 includes a beam expander 5342, the light-incident portion of which corresponds to the light-reflecting portion of the reflector 5332. The light-incident portion of the laser cutting head 510 corresponds to the light-outcident portion of the beam expander 5342. The indicator light generator 5311 is mainly used to emit visible light for indicating the positioning laser. The indicator light generator 5311 can be of various types, but a red indicator light is preferred because its emitted red light has good penetration and is more easily perceived by the naked eye. The beam combiner 5321 is generally mounted and fixed using a beam combiner mounting bracket 5323, the reflector 5332 is generally mounted and fixed using a reflector mounting bracket 5331, and the beam expander 5342 is generally mounted and fixed using a four-dimensional adjustment bracket 5341. The reflector mounting bracket 5331 is mainly used to mount and fix the reflector 5332 and to mount and fix the entire reflection module 533 onto the module mounting bracket 540. The reflector mounting bracket 5331 is usually equipped with a reflector adjustment knob for adjusting the reflection angle of the combined light; preferably, the combined light is reflected vertically downwards by rotating the reflector adjustment knob. The four-dimensional adjustment bracket 5341 is mainly used to install and fix the beam expander 5342, and to install and fix the entire beam expander module 534 on the module mounting bracket 540; the four-dimensional adjustment bracket 5341 is usually equipped with a beam expander adjustment knob for adjusting the position of the beam expander 342.
[0149] Preferred, combined Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the indicator light module 531 also includes an indicator light adjustment frame, which includes a first indicator light adjustment plate 5312, a second indicator light adjustment plate 5313, and an indicator light adjustment structure; the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 and the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313 are spaced apart; the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313 is provided with an indicator light generator through hole 5314.
[0150] The indicator light adjustment structure includes at least three indicator light adjustment rods 5315 whose centerlines are not on the same plane. The indicator light adjustment rods 5315 are respectively connected to the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 and the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313, and the relative distance between the connecting parts on them can be adjusted. In this way, by adjusting the relative distance between the connecting parts on one, two or more indicator light adjustment rods 5315, the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 can be tilted relative to the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313 in various circumferential directions.
[0151] There are several ways to make the relative distance between the connecting parts on the indicator light adjustment rod 5315 adjustable. For example, the indicator light adjustment rod 5315 can be set as a telescopic rod structure with adjustable length, such as a nested rod, a cylinder, an electric push rod, etc.; or at least one connecting part on the indicator light adjustment rod 5315 can be set as a position-adjustable structure, such as threading the indicator light adjustment rod 5315 to the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 and rotatably connecting it to the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313; or rotatably connecting the indicator light adjustment rod 5315 to the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 and threading it to the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313; or threading the indicator light adjustment rod 5315 to the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 and the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313 respectively, and the rotation directions of the connecting threads of each connecting part are opposite.
[0152] The indicator light generator 5311 is fixedly mounted on the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312. Its light-emitting part passes through the indicator light generator through hole 5314 and faces the indicator light input part of the beam combiner 5321. There is an adjustment gap between the indicator light generator 5311 and the hole wall of the indicator light generator through hole 5314. Thus, when the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 is tilted relative to the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313 in various circumferential directions, it will cause the indicator light generator 5311 to tilt, thereby realizing the adjustment of the light emission direction of the indicator light generator 5311.
[0153] Preferably, the side of the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312 closest to the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313 is defined as the inner side, and the side furthest from the second indicator light adjustment plate 5313 is defined as the outer side. When the indicator light adjustment rod 5315 is installed in a rotatable and adjustable manner, in order to facilitate turning the indicator light adjustment rod 5315, an indicator light adjustment knob 5316 is usually provided on the outer end of the indicator light adjustment rod 5315. The indicator light adjustment knob 5316 is located on the outer side of the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312, such as... Figure 13 As shown. In this way, by utilizing the larger space on the outer side of the first indicator light adjustment plate 5312, the operator can easily turn the indicator light adjustment knob 5316 to adjust the light emission direction of the indicator light generator 5311, so that the indicator beam is converted into a beam that is completely superimposed on the laser beam by the beam combiner 5321.
[0154] Specifically, the optical module 500 also includes a module mounting bracket 540; the module mounting bracket 540 includes a module mounting base plate 541; the laser cutting head 510 is disposed on the underside of the module mounting base plate 541; and the laser 520 is disposed on the module mounting base plate 541.
[0155] Based on the above, in order to facilitate the installation and setup of the various modules and components in the optical path assembly 530, for example... Figure 12 As shown, the module mounting bracket 540 also includes a module mounting side plate 542, which is disposed on the side of the module mounting base plate 541. The indicator light module 531 is fixedly mounted on the module mounting side plate 542 via a second indicator light adjustment plate 5313. The reflector mounting bracket 5331 is disposed on the module mounting side plate 542. The four-dimensional adjustment bracket 5341 is disposed on the module mounting side plate 542. Typically, the module mounting side plate 542 is installed on the left and / or right side of the module mounting base plate 541 to facilitate the fixing of each module component and to make the entire optical module 500 more compact.
[0156] To facilitate the installation and fixation of the beam combiner 5321 and the entire beam combiner module 532, for example... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the beam combining module 532 also includes a beam combining mirror mounting plate 5322 and a beam combining mirror mounting bracket 5323. The beam combining mirror mounting plate 5322 is mounted on the laser 520; the beam combining mirror mounting bracket 5323 is mounted on the beam combining mirror mounting plate 5322; and the beam combining mirror 5321 is mounted on the beam combining mirror mounting bracket 5323, with its laser input portion corresponding to the output portion of the laser 520. The beam combining mirror mounting plate 5322 is mainly used to mount and fix the entire beam combining module 532 on the laser 520, and it is generally fixed to the end of the laser 520 with the output portion by screws, bolts, or other connectors. The beam combining mirror mounting bracket 5323 is mainly used to mount and fix the beam combining mirror 5321, and it usually has an optical path through-hole to facilitate the optical path connection between the laser input portion of the beam combining mirror 5321 and the output portion of the laser 520.
[0157] Preferably, in order to make the structure between various optical elements more compact, shorten the flight optical path, and improve safety, for example... Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, the beam combiner mounting bracket 5323 is a cylindrical structure with a 45° upward-sloping front face and a beam combiner mounting groove on its front face. The beam combiner mounting bracket 5323 and the beam combiner mounting plate 5322 are generally connected by a shaft hole and locked in place by screws. The beam combiner 5321 is set in the beam combiner mounting groove. The indicator light generator 5311 is a red indicator light, which is located directly above the beam combiner 5321. The reflector 5332 is located in front of the beam combiner 5321, with its mirror surface facing the beam combiner 5321 and parallel to the front face of the beam combiner mounting bracket 5323. The beam expander 5342 is located directly below the reflector 5332. In this way, the laser beam emitted by the laser 520 can be transmitted through the beam combiner 5321 and emitted horizontally forward. At the same time, the red beam emitted by the red indicator light, which is vertically downward, is reflected by the beam combiner 5321 and emitted horizontally forward, and is combined with the laser beam into a single beam. The combined beam is reflected by the reflector 5332 and then emitted vertically into the beam expander 5342.
[0158] To facilitate the installation and adjustment of the beam expander 5342, for example... Figure 12 As shown, the beam expander module 534 also includes a four-dimensional adjustment frame pad 5343; the four-dimensional adjustment frame pad 5343 is disposed between the four-dimensional adjustment frame 5341 and the module mounting base plate 541; the beam expander lens 5342 is disposed on the lower side of the module mounting base plate 541, and its upper end passes through the module mounting base plate 541 and the four-dimensional adjustment frame pad 5343 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the four-dimensional adjustment frame 5341. The four-dimensional adjustment frame pad 5343 not only raises the four-dimensional adjustment frame 5341 to facilitate the operator to turn the beam expander lens adjustment knob for normal use, but also supports and protects the four-dimensional adjustment frame 5341 and the beam expander lens 5342; the shape and hole positions of the four-dimensional adjustment frame pad 5343 are usually the same as those of the four-dimensional adjustment frame 5341, and through holes for the beam expander lens 5342 to pass through are provided on both the module mounting base plate 541 and the four-dimensional adjustment frame pad 5343.
[0159] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, combined with Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 15 , Figure 16 , Figure 17 and Figure 19 As shown, the five-axis laser cutting machine also includes an air blowing system and an exhaust system 600;
[0160] The blowing system includes a gas nozzle mounted on the laser cutting head 510 and a positive pressure gas source connected to the gas nozzle's air path. The gas nozzle is usually oriented in the same direction as the cutting tip of the laser cutting head 510. The gas nozzle is used to blow away the smoke and dust generated during laser cutting, ensuring the precision and efficiency of laser cutting. The positive pressure gas source is mainly used to provide the blowing airflow, and it can be of various types, such as: gas tank, fan, compressor, etc.
[0161] The exhaust system 600 includes an exhaust intake hood 610, an exhaust pipe 620, and a negative pressure air source;
[0162] The exhaust air intake hood 610 has an air intake 611 at the bottom, an air outlet 612 on the side, and an inner cavity 613 inside that connects the air intake 611 and the air outlet 612.
[0163] The exhaust inlet hood 610 can be rectangular, polygonal, circular, or other shapes, as long as it can be fixed to the upper side of the clamping assembly 400 and its air inlet 611 can partially correspond to the workpiece clamped on the clamping assembly 400; the side of the exhaust inlet hood 610 is usually provided with a structure to facilitate its installation and connection, for example: Figure 16 Connecting ears are provided on both the left and right sides of the middle part of the exhaust intake hood 610, and connecting holes are provided on the connecting ears;
[0164] The air inlet 611 of the hood is mainly used to draw in airflow containing smoke and dust, while the air outlet 612 of the hood is mainly used to discharge airflow containing smoke and dust. The air outlet 612 can be an open structure or a pipe section of a certain length, the length of which only needs to be sufficient for connection with the exhaust pipe 620. Figures 15-17 The vent 612 of the enclosure in the embodiment is of this structure;
[0165] An airflow baffle 614 is provided in the inner cavity 613 of the cover, which divides the inner cavity 613 of the cover into at least two airflow channels 6131. The airflow baffle 614 is mainly used to divide the inner cavity 613 of the cover, and one, two or more can be provided as needed.
[0166] The air inlet of each airflow channel 6131 is located at the air inlet 611 of the cover, and the distance between the air inlet of each airflow channel 6131 and the air outlet 612 of the cover is not equal. This arrangement, with the air inlet of each airflow channel 6131 located at the air inlet 611 of the cover, divides the air inlet 611 into a structure consisting of two or more small openings, allowing for more uniform airflow intake and reducing eddies and turbulence. The distance between the air inlet of each airflow channel 6131 and the air outlet 612 of the cover is typically expressed as the distance between the closest points of the air inlet of each airflow channel 6131 and the air outlet 612 of the cover, or the distance between the geometric centers of the air inlet of each airflow channel 6131 and the air outlet 612 of the cover.
[0167] The air outlet of each airflow channel 6131 corresponds to the air outlet 612 of the cover, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the air outlets of each airflow channel 6131 are not equal. This alignment ensures that the airflow velocity through the air outlets of each airflow channel 6131 is essentially the same during vacuuming, allowing for different negative pressure suction forces to be achieved by controlling the cross-sectional dimensions of the air outlets. One possible implementation is to align the air outlets of each airflow channel 6131 towards the air outlet of the cover. 612, or the air outlet of each airflow channel 6131 is located at the air outlet 612 of the cover, or the direction of the airflow flowing through the air outlet of each airflow channel 6131 during vacuuming is the same as the direction of the airflow flowing through the air outlet 612 of the cover; the inlet and outlet ends, or the cross-section of the inlet and outlet, usually refers to: a plane with the main flow direction of the airflow flowing through this place as the normal, and the plane obtained by cutting this place; for example: the cross-section of the air outlet 612 of the cover refers to the plane with the main flow direction of the airflow flowing through the air outlet 612 of the cover as the normal, and the plane obtained by cutting the air outlet 612 of the cover.
[0168] The airflow channel 6131 that is farther from the air inlet end than the air outlet 612 of the hood has a larger cross-sectional size at the air outlet end. Thus, when the air outlet 612 of the exhaust air intake hood is connected to negative pressure for dust collection, the airflow channel 6131 that is farther from the air outlet 612 can obtain a greater negative pressure suction force, which can increase the airflow velocity at the air inlet end that is farther from the air outlet 612 and decrease the airflow velocity at the air inlet end that is closer to the air outlet 612, so that the airflow distribution at the air inlet 611 of the hood is more uniform when the exhaust air intake hood is collecting dust.
[0169] The exhaust intake hood 610 is disposed in the lower mounting space, and its intake port 611 at least partially corresponds to the clamp assembly 400.
[0170] The air intake of the negative pressure air source is connected to the air outlet 612 of the exhaust air intake hood through the exhaust pipe 620; the negative pressure air source is an air source device that can generate negative pressure, and it can be of various types, such as: vacuum pump, air pump, air compressor, etc.; the negative pressure air source is mainly used to provide negative pressure suction to remove the smoke and dust generated during laser cutting.
[0171] To further improve the uniformity of airflow at the air inlet 611 of the exhaust intake hood 610 during dust collection, it is preferable to... Figure 17As shown, there are two airflow channels 6131, including a first airflow channel and a second airflow channel located above the first airflow channel; the airflow baffle 614 includes a guide baffle section 6141 and a diversion baffle section 6142 that is smoothly connected to the guide baffle section 6141; the guide baffle section 6141 is located in the inner cavity 613 of the hood directly above the air inlet 611 of the hood, and the guide baffle section 6141 is an inclined plate section with an inclination angle of 30° to 60°.
[0172] Combination Figure 15 , Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, a simulation analysis of the airflow state inside the exhaust intake shroud 610 with the aforementioned angled baffle section 6141 is performed to visually display the airflow velocity and direction at different positions within the shroud; Figure 18 Analysis shows that the streamlines are sparser at the air inlet 611 than at the air outlet 612, indicating that the airflow velocity is faster at the air outlet 612, mainly due to its smaller cross-sectional size. The streamlines are more evenly distributed at the air inlet 611, indicating a more uniform airflow distribution there. The streamlines at the air inlet 611 are mainly blue, with a few being emerald green, indicating that the airflow represented by each streamline has a relatively consistent velocity at the air inlet 611. In the airflow channel 6131, most streamline curvature changes are smooth and continuous, with a few streamlines exhibiting abrupt changes or sharpening. There is only one closed streamline representing a vortex structure, indicating that the airflow direction change within the airflow channel 6131 is mainly smooth and continuous, with virtually no abrupt eddies or vortices generated, resulting in relatively stable airflow movement and minimal energy loss. It can be seen that, under the diversion effect of the airflow channel 6131 and the guiding effect of the guide baffle section 6141, the distribution of the intake airflow at the air inlet 611 of the cover is relatively uniform, the airflow velocity is relatively consistent, and there are basically no eddies or turbulence. The suction is stable and the energy efficiency is high, which has a good effect on removing smoke and dust in the working cavity of the five-axis laser cutting machine.
[0173] The specific tilt angle of the baffle section 6141 can be controlled according to the actual situation such as the shape of the exhaust air intake hood 610, the shape and size of the air intake 611 of the hood, so as to ensure that the uniformity of the intake airflow at the air intake 611 of the hood reaches the best. Preferably, the tilt angle of the baffle section 6141 is controlled at 45°.
[0174] Preferably, the exhaust hood 610 has a U-shaped opening 615 through which the laser cutting head 510 can pass; the air inlet end of the first airflow channel is located behind the U-shaped opening 615; the side wall of the U-shaped opening 615 divides the air inlet end of the second airflow channel into two, located on the left and right sides of the U-shaped opening 615 respectively. The U-shaped opening 615 not only facilitates the entry and exit of the laser cutting head 510, but also provides good enclosure of the laser cutting head 510, enabling the hood's air inlet 611 to basically cover most of the workpiece, ensuring maximum efficiency in dust extraction and removing most of the dust generated during laser cutting.
[0175] To enhance negative pressure suction, for example... Figure 19 As shown, the exhaust pipe 620 includes a first exhaust pipe 621, a negative pressure chamber 622, and a second exhaust pipe 623 connected in sequence. The inlet end of the first exhaust pipe 621 is connected to the outlet 612 of the cover. The inner diameter of the second exhaust pipe 623 is larger than that of the first exhaust pipe 621, and its outlet end is connected to the suction port of the negative pressure air source. This structure of the exhaust pipe 620, by setting a negative pressure chamber 622 and making the inner diameter of the second exhaust pipe 623 larger than that of the first exhaust pipe 621, creates a velocity difference in the airflow between the first exhaust pipe 621 and the second exhaust pipe 623 during dust collection, resulting in a larger pressure difference within the negative pressure chamber 622, thereby effectively enhancing the negative pressure suction of the first exhaust pipe 621. The negative pressure chamber 622 is typically equipped with structures to facilitate its installation and connection, such as connecting plates, hinges, etc. For ease of installation, inspection, and maintenance, it is preferable to mount the negative pressure chamber 622 onto the casing frame via hinges.
[0176] Based on the above, in order to achieve a better negative pressure suction enhancement effect, the ratio of the inner diameter of the first exhaust pipe 621 to the inner diameter of the second exhaust pipe 623 is usually controlled to be 5 to 7:9. A simulation analysis of the airflow state inside the exhaust pipe 620, which does not have a negative pressure chamber 622 and whose inner diameter remains unchanged, is performed. Figure 20 As shown; from Figure 20 It can be seen that the streamlines are more evenly distributed in the straight pipe section and are lighter in color than in the curved pipe section. This indicates that the airflow is more evenly distributed in the straight pipe section and the airflow velocity is faster in the curved pipe section. Figure 20 The highest airflow velocity in the middle section is 1.673 m / s. Under the same negative pressure suction, a simulation analysis of the airflow state inside the exhaust pipe 620, consisting of a first exhaust pipe 621 with an inner diameter of 40 mm and a second exhaust pipe 623 with an inner diameter of 60 mm and a negative pressure chamber 622, is performed. Figure 21 As shown; combined Figure 19 and Figure 21It can be seen that the streamlines are sparser and lighter in color in the second exhaust pipe 623 than in the first exhaust pipe 621, indicating that the airflow velocity is faster in the first exhaust pipe 621. Figure 21 The highest velocity of the airflow in the middle section was 24.96 m / s, significantly higher than that of the middle section. Figure 20 The example is one order of magnitude larger. It can be seen that, compared to the traditional single-pipe exhaust pipe 620, this structure of exhaust pipe 620 can effectively enhance the negative pressure suction effect within the first exhaust pipe 621, improving the dust collection effect.
[0177] To prevent smoke and dust from clogging the negative pressure air source, the exhaust system typically also includes an air purifier installed on the exhaust duct 620. The air purifier is usually installed on the second exhaust duct 623.
