Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laser tube installation, specifically a novel carbon dioxide laser tube installation device. Background Technology
[0002] A laser tube, also known as a glass-sealed carbon dioxide laser, is commonly called a laser tube because its structure is encapsulated in a glass tube.
[0003] During laser tube installation, the equipment to which it connects has corresponding connection holes. The two ends of the laser tube are first electrically connected to the equipment via wires, and then snapped into the corresponding connection holes. This completes the installation of the laser tube with the help of the two snapping holes. However, before being electrically connected to the equipment, the laser tube cannot be snapped into the connection holes and can only rest on the equipment. Since the laser tube itself is a circular tube, it is prone to rolling without support. This not only makes wire connection difficult but also risks the laser tube accidentally rolling and colliding with other objects, potentially causing damage. Therefore, to solve this problem, a novel carbon dioxide laser tube installation device is proposed. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a novel carbon dioxide laser tube installation device, comprising two base frames located on either side of a laser tube connecting device. A locking mechanism for engaging with the laser tube connecting device is provided between the two base frames. A top frame located above the laser tube connecting device is provided at the top of both base frames. A lifting mechanism for adjusting the height of the top frame is provided between the top frame and the base frames. Horizontally oriented sliding grooves are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the top frame, and a hanging plate is slidably connected to the top frame via these grooves. A sliding mechanism for driving the hanging plate to slide along the sliding grooves is provided on the top frame. The mechanism includes a vertically extending support rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the hanging plate, a hanger fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod, and two mounting plates symmetrically connected to the bottom of the hanger. Each mounting plate has a locking groove parallel to the sliding groove at its top, and a mounting block is slidably connected to the top of each mounting plate through the sliding groove. An arc-shaped plate located between the two mounting plates is fixedly connected to one of the adjacent sides of the two mounting blocks. The two arc-shaped plates can cooperate to form an annular plate for fixing the laser tube. A driving mechanism for driving the mounting block to slide along the locking groove is provided between the two mounting plates.
[0005] Furthermore, the locking mechanism includes two rotating rods that are threadedly connected to the corresponding base frame in the horizontal direction, and a soft pad is fixedly connected to the inner side of each rotating rod.
[0006] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes two electric push rods, the fixed end of each electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top end of the corresponding base frame, and the top end of each electric push rod is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the top frame.
[0007] Furthermore, the sliding mechanism includes a connecting block fixedly connected to the top of the hanging plate, a lead screw threaded through the connecting block, one end of the lead screw being connected to the inner side of the top frame via a bearing, the other end of the lead screw passing through the other side of the top frame via a bearing and extending to its outer side, and a throttle handle located outside the top frame is installed on the lead screw.
[0008] Furthermore, the support rod includes a sleeve rod fixed to the bottom end of the hanging plate, and a connecting rod is movably inserted into the bottom end of the sleeve rod. A fixing mechanism for fixing the connecting rod is provided between the sleeve rod and the connecting rod.
[0009] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism includes multiple through holes that are vertically and evenly distributed on the sleeve rod, and the connecting rod has multiple connecting holes that are adapted to the through holes. The sleeve rod and the connecting rod are connected by a pin that passes through the through holes and the connecting holes.
[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes two bearing seats respectively mounted on corresponding mounting plates, each bearing seat having a through-connected screw, the two screws having their adjacent sides threadedly connected to corresponding mounting blocks, each mounting plate having a motor mounted on it, and each motor having a gear fixedly sleeved on the output shaft and the outer periphery of the corresponding screw having meshing gears.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the mounting blocks is fixedly connected to a locking block at its bottom end, and each locking block is slidably connected to a corresponding locking groove. Each locking groove is a T-shaped groove, and each locking block is a T-shaped block adapted to the T-shaped groove.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0013] 1. In use, the present invention first fixes the device to both sides of the laser tube connecting device through the locking mechanism. Under the action of the driving mechanism, the two mounting blocks drive the corresponding arc plates to slide along the locking groove, so that the two arc plates cooperate to lock the laser tube. Then, the laser tube is adjusted to a suitable height by the lifting mechanism and the telescopic support rod for installation. In this way, the laser tube can be supported during installation, avoiding accidental rolling.
[0014] 2. Under the action of the sliding mechanism, the present invention can drive the hanging plate to slide along the slide groove, thereby causing the hanging plate to drive the arc-shaped block connected below to change the horizontal position. In this way, after one laser tube is installed, the next laser tube can be engaged and installed in the next position. Attached Figure Description

[0022] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] In the idle space of this device, all electrical components and their matching drivers are placed, and all the aforementioned driving components, which refer to power elements, electrical components and adapted power supplies, are connected by wires by those skilled in the art. The specific connection method should refer to the following description of the sequential operation of each electrical component to complete the electrical connection. The detailed connection method is a well-known technology in the art.
[0024] The novel carbon dioxide laser tube mounting device provided in this specific embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, it includes: two base frames 1 located on both sides of the laser tube connection device; a locking mechanism 2 for engaging with the laser tube connection device is provided between the two base frames 1; and a top frame 3 located above the laser tube connection device is provided at the top of the two base frames 1; a lifting mechanism 4 for adjusting the height of the top frame 3 is provided between the top frame 3 and the base frames 1; in addition, horizontal sliding grooves 5 are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the top frame 3, and a hanging plate 6 is slidably connected to the top frame 3 through the sliding grooves 5. The top frame 3 is equipped with a sliding mechanism 7 for driving the hanging plate 6 to slide along the slide groove 5. Furthermore, a vertically extending support rod 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the hanging plate 6. A hanger 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the support rod 8. Two mounting plates 10 are symmetrically connected to the bottom end of this hanger 9. Each mounting plate 10 has a locking groove 11 parallel to the slide groove 5 at its top end, and a mounting block 12 is slidably connected to the top end of each mounting plate 10 through the slide groove 5. The two mounting blocks 12 are connected to each other... An arc-shaped plate 13 is fixedly connected to each of the two adjacent sides between the two mounting plates 10. The arc-shaped plate 13 does not contact the mounting plate 10. These two arc-shaped plates 13 cooperate to form an annular plate for fixing the laser tube. A drive mechanism 14 is provided between the two mounting plates 10 to drive the mounting block 12 to slide along the locking groove 11. In use, the device is first fixed to both sides of the laser tube connecting device by the locking mechanism 2. Under the action of the drive mechanism 14, the two mounting blocks 12 are driven to slide along the corresponding arc-shaped plates 13 along the locking groove 11, so that the two arc-shaped plates 13 cooperate to lock the laser tube in place. Then, the laser tube is adjusted to a suitable height for installation by the lifting mechanism 4 and the telescopic support rod 8. The lifting mechanism 4 is used for a large range of height adjustment, and the telescopic support rod 8 is used for a small range of height adjustment. This provides support for the laser tube during installation, preventing accidental rolling.
[0025] Specifically:
[0026] The specific structure of the locking mechanism 2 is as follows: Figure 2As shown, the locking mechanism 2 includes two rotating rods 201 that are threadedly connected to the corresponding base frame 1 in the horizontal direction. Each rotating rod 201 has a soft pad 202 fixedly connected to its inner side for abutting against the side of the laser tube connection device. At the same time, each rotating rod 201 has a handle for easy rotation installed on its outer side.
[0027] The specific structure of the lifting mechanism 4 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the lifting mechanism 4 includes two electric push rods 401, wherein: the fixed end of each electric push rod 401 is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding base frame 1, and the telescopic end of each electric push rod 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top frame 3.
[0028] The specific structure of the sliding mechanism 7 is as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the sliding mechanism 7 includes a connecting block 701 fixedly connected to the top of the hanging plate 6. A screw rod 702 is threaded through the connecting block 701. One end of the screw rod 702 is connected to the inside side of the top frame 3 through a bearing, and the other end of the screw rod 702 passes through the other side of the top frame 3 through a bearing and extends to its outside. A handle 703 located outside the top frame 3 is installed on the screw rod 702. Thus, rotating the screw rod 702 will cause the connecting block 701 to drive the hanging plate 6 to slide along the slide groove 5.
[0029] The reason why support rod 8 is telescopic is as follows: Figure 4 As shown, the support rod 8 includes a sleeve rod 801 fixed to the bottom end of the hanging plate 6. A connecting rod 802 is movably inserted into the bottom end of the sleeve rod 801. Because the connecting rod 802 is movable, a fixing mechanism 15 for fixing the connecting rod 802 is also provided between the sleeve rod 801 and the connecting rod 802, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the fixing mechanism 15 includes multiple through holes 1501 that are vertically and evenly distributed through the sleeve rod 801. At the same time, multiple connecting holes 1502 that are adapted to the through holes 1501 are provided on the connecting rod 802. A pin 1503 that passes through the through holes 1501 and the connecting holes 1502 is connected between the sleeve rod 801 and the connecting rod 802. There can be one or more pins 1503, because even a single pin 1503 can serve to fix the connecting rod 802.
[0030] The specific structure of the drive mechanism 14 is as follows Figure 4As shown, the drive mechanism 14 includes two bearing seats 1401 respectively mounted on corresponding mounting plates 10. A screw 1402 that can only rotate in place is connected through each bearing seat 1401. The sides of the two screws 1402 that are close to each other are threadedly connected to the corresponding mounting blocks 12. At the same time, a motor 1403 is mounted on each mounting plate 10. The output shaft of each motor 1403 and the outer periphery of the corresponding screw 1402 are fixedly sleeved with mutually meshing gears 1404. In this way, under the drive of the motor 1403, the screw 1402 can be synchronously driven to rotate in place through the mutually meshing gears 1404. The mounting block 12 that is threaded to the screw 1402 is limited because it is engaged and sliding with the engaging groove 11, so it can only slide along the engaging groove 11. In this way, the two mounting blocks 12 can drive the corresponding arc plates 13 to move closer to each other to engage the laser tube.
[0031] Regarding the snap-fit sliding connection of mounting block 12, as follows: Figure 4 As shown, a locking block 1201 is fixedly connected to the bottom of each mounting block 12. Each locking block 1201 is engaged and slidably connected with a corresponding locking groove 11. Furthermore, each locking groove 11 is a T-shaped groove, and each locking block 1201 is a T-shaped block adapted to the T-shaped groove. It is worth noting that the shape of the locking block 1201 and the locking groove 11 is not limited to T-shape. Any shape that allows the locking block 1201 to slide within the locking groove 11 without falling off the locking groove 11 is acceptable.
[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.
[0033] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
