DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0018] Example See also Figures 1 to 6 , a focusing method of a laser engraving machine, applied to the engraving scene of the laser engraving machine; the focusing method of the laser engraving machine comprises: Step S11: before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the laser in the laser engraving machine is raised to the highest point; Step S12: the laser is rapidly lowered from the highest point and a position signal is collected; Step S13: Perform a local check based on the location of the in-position signal to determine the focus position.

[0019] In an embodiment of the present invention, by the method in the embodiment of the present invention, before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the laser in the laser engraving machine is raised to the highest point; the laser is rapidly lowered from the highest point, and an in-position signal is collected; a local check is performed based on the position of the in-position signal to determine the focal position. At this time, before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the focus of the laser is triggered, the laser is raised to the highest point, and rapidly lowered from the highest point, thereby performing an initial position check. Furthermore, a local check is performed based on the position of the in-position signal to achieve a second position check, and the precision of the local check is improved, so as to determine the focal position in the local check, ensure the accuracy of the focal position, and achieve rapid focusing and precise focusing of the laser engraving machine.

[0020] See also Figure 2 In step S11, before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the laser in the laser engraving machine is raised to the highest point; In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be: S111: before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the current position of the laser in the laser engraving machine is collected; S112: If the current position of the laser is not the highest point, trigger the laser to rise; S113: During the rising process of the laser, the laser gradually rises in a variable speed state until it reaches the highest point.

[0021] In an embodiment of the present invention, before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, it is necessary to focus the laser of the laser engraving machine. At this time, the current position of the laser in the laser engraving machine is collected, and the current position of the laser is compared with the highest point. If the current position of the laser is not the highest point, the rise of the laser is triggered so that the laser rises from the current position to the highest point, thereby realizing gradual focusing at the highest point, avoiding omissions, and being compatible with various focusing environments.

[0022] Therefore, during the rising process of the laser, the laser gradually rises in a variable speed state until it reaches the highest point. At this time, in the stage of rising from the current position to the highest point, the laser gradually rises in a variable speed state and reaches the highest point with the fastest efficiency, ensuring the efficiency before focusing. At the same time, it stops at the highest point to trigger the laser's descending focus.

[0023] Furthermore, before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the laser in the laser engraving machine is raised to the highest point, and also includes: collecting the distance between the current position of the laser and the highest point; defining the rising parameter of the laser according to the distance between the current position of the laser and the highest point; collecting the model corresponding to the laser; defining the model parameter based on the model corresponding to the laser, and associating the model parameter with the rising parameter; matching the corresponding speed change logic according to the model parameter and the rising parameter, and triggering the speed change state of the laser based on the speed change logic.

[0024] At this time, the distance between the current position of the laser and the highest point is introduced, and the rising parameter of the laser is defined by the distance between the current position of the laser and the highest point, so as to associate the rising parameter with the model corresponding to the laser, so as to match the corresponding speed change logic in combination with the rising parameter and the model corresponding to the laser, so as to control the speed rise of the laser through the speed change logic, realize customized control of the rise of the laser, and trigger the speed change state of the laser based on the speed change logic.

[0025] In addition, before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the laser in the laser engraving machine is raised to the highest point, and the method also includes: recording the rising process of the laser in real time and collecting signals; if the signal is a rising limit in place signal, the laser is triggered to adjust from a rising state to a stopped state; if the signal is a non-rising limit in place signal, the laser is triggered to rise at a uniform speed at the current rising speed.

[0026] The rising process of the laser is recorded in real time to monitor the rising process of the laser. At the same time, the signal is collected during the variable speed rising process to control the rising limit in place signal, so as to trigger the laser from the rising state to the stopping state according to the rising limit in place signal, and stop at the highest point. In addition, if the signal is not a rising limit in place signal, the laser is triggered to rise at a uniform speed at the current rising speed.

[0027] See also Figure 3 , in step S12, the laser descends rapidly from the highest point and collects the in-position signal; In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be: S121: When the laser is at the highest point, trigger the laser's auto-focus logic; S122: In the automatic focusing logic of the laser, the laser rapidly descends from the highest point, wherein the descending speed of the laser is higher than the ascending speed of the laser; S123: monitor the rapid descent of the laser and collect the arrival signal; S124: Record the position of the in-position signal.

[0028] In an embodiment of the present application, when the laser is at the highest point, the laser's autofocus logic is triggered so that the laser's autofocus is gradually realized through the laser's autofocus logic. At this time, in the laser's autofocus logic, the laser rapidly descends from the highest point, wherein the laser's descending speed is higher than the laser's ascending speed. Since it is the first descent, precise positioning is not performed, so a rapid descent is used in the first descent to improve the laser's precise focusing efficiency. At this time, the rapid descent of the laser is monitored, and the in-position signal is collected; the position of the in-position signal is recorded, which is not the final focus position.

[0029] Furthermore, the laser descends rapidly from the highest point and collects an in-position signal, and also includes: collecting the surface to be engraved of the workpiece to be engraved and defining the height of the surface to be engraved of the workpiece to be engraved; determining the height difference based on the height of the surface to be engraved of the workpiece to be engraved and the height of the highest point; predicting the theoretical in-position position according to the height difference and the model of the laser; defining the descent speed of the laser according to the theoretical in-position position, the height of the highest point and the model of the laser; if the laser cannot collect an in-position signal at the theoretical in-position, performing phased reciprocating movements based on the theoretical in-position until the laser collects an in-position signal.

[0030] See also Figure 4 , S13: Perform local inspection based on the location of the in-place signal to determine the focus position; In the specific implementation process of the present invention, the specific steps may be: S131: Collect the arrival signal and define the location of the arrival signal; S132: triggering a local check of the laser based on the position of the arrival signal; S133: In the local inspection of the laser, the laser is lifted and lowered back and forth at the position where the in-position signal is located, and the focusing state of the laser is monitored; S134: If the focus state of the laser is in the preset focus state, freeze the current position of the laser and define the current position as the focus position.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, an arrival signal is collected and the location of the arrival signal is defined, so as to facilitate further control based on the location of the arrival signal, and perform local investigation with the location of the arrival signal as the center position, thereby performing a range investigation on the location of the arrival signal.

[0032] At this time, a local inspection of the laser is triggered based on the position of the in-place signal; in the local inspection of the laser, the laser is reciprocated and raised and lowered at the position of the in-place signal, and the focus state of the laser is monitored; if the focus state of the laser is in the preset focus state, the current position of the laser is frozen and defined as the focus position.

[0033] In addition, the local investigation based on the location of the in-place signal to determine the focal position also includes: if the laser is in the local investigation process, collecting the moving speed of the laser; the moving speed of the laser is less than the descending speed of the laser. At this time, a local investigation is performed on the location of the in-place signal, and a smaller moving speed is used in the local investigation, and the investigation is performed based on the upper and lower positions of the location of the in-place signal.

[0034] In addition, the focusing method of the laser engraving machine also includes: the laser is quickly lowered from the highest point; the descending process of the laser is monitored until the laser reaches the lowest point; in the process of the laser moving from the highest point to the lowest point, the position signal cannot be collected, and the number of times the laser cannot be detected is recorded; if the number of times the laser cannot be detected exceeds a preset number, the laser fault detection is triggered.

[0035] In an embodiment of the present application, before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the laser in the laser engraving machine is raised to the highest point; the laser is rapidly lowered from the highest point, and an in-position signal is collected; a local check is performed based on the position of the in-position signal to determine the focal position. At this time, the focus of the laser is triggered before the laser engraving machine engraves the workpiece to be engraved, the laser is raised to the highest point, and rapidly lowered from the highest point, thereby performing an initial position check. Furthermore, a local check is performed based on the position of the in-position signal to achieve a second position check, and the precision of the local check is improved, so that the focal position can be determined in the local check, the accuracy of the focal position is ensured, and the rapid focusing and precise focusing of the laser engraving machine are achieved.
