[0002] In laser application scenarios, laser can be used for marking and engraving. The light spot formed by the optical fiber is related to marking and engraving. Specifically, when the light spot is large, the marked and engraved patterns will be blurred, especially at the edges. When the light spot is small, the marked and engraved patterns will be clearer. However, the spot size cannot be achieved by adjusting the laser power at present, because the adjustment of the laser power is achieved by controlling the on and off time of the laser within a certain period of time. This results in the spot size remaining unchanged regardless of whether the laser power is large or small.

[0033] 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.

[0034] Example 1

[0035] First, the device to which the method of the present invention is applicable is described. Specifically, a blue light module includes a laser diode for emitting a light source, a collimating lens for directly irradiating the light source, a reflector for reflecting the light source, and a focusing mirror for focusing the light source. The components of the blue light module of this embodiment adopt the following specifications as examples: the wavelength of the laser diode is 450nm; the collimating lens adopts a plano-convex lens; the reflector adopts a plano-convex reflector; the focusing mirror adopts a plano-convex focusing mirror, and the focal length is 12mm, and the working wavelength is 450nm. Specifically, the working wavelength of the focusing mirror must be equal to the wavelength of the laser diode.

[0036] See also Figure 1 A blue light module comprises a light source group consisting of at least two light sources 1 and a focusing lens 2. Light beams emitted by the light sources 1 of the light source group are incident on the focusing lens 2 in a mutually parallel manner, and form a light spot 3 at the focus through the focusing lens 2; the light spot 3 is composed of light spots 5 formed by the light sources 1 at the focus position; the light spots 3 at least partially overlap, and do not completely overlap.

[0037] In actual applications, the staff injects multiple light sources 1 into the focusing mirror 2 in parallel, and the focusing mirror 2 is a spherical mirror. Under the influence of spherical aberration, each light source 1 cannot completely overlap at a focus, and the light spots 5 formed by each light source 1 at least partially overlap, but not completely overlap. In particular, if an aspherical mirror is used to eliminate spherical aberration, points can be taken before and after the focus of the focusing mirror 2, and a light spot 3 is formed by partially overlapping each light spot 5. Specifically, when it is necessary to increase the size of the light spot 3, more light sources 1 are introduced, and the light source 1 is also injected into the focusing mirror 2 in a manner parallel to the light source 1 that has been introduced, and does not completely overlap with the light spot 5 that has been formed; when it is necessary to reduce the size of the light spot 3, the light source 1 that has been introduced is reduced. At this time, the light spots 5 on the light spot 3 are reduced as the light source 1 is disconnected, thereby reducing the size of the light spot 3. Specifically, through this control method, it is beneficial to control the size of the light spot 3 for different application places. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the light source 1 is emitted by a laser diode, and the wavelength of the light source 1 is 450nm.

[0038] Preferably, the light spot 5 is elliptical, the major axis of the light spot 5 is 0.12-0.16 mm, and the minor axis of the light spot 5 is 0.04-0.06 mm; the length of the light spot 3 is 0.15-0.18 mm, and the width of the light spot 3 is 0.08-0.12 mm.

[0039] In this embodiment, the shape of the light spot 5 is elliptical, and the size of the light spot 5 is related to the selection of the lens. Therefore, the size of the light spot 5 has a floating range. Specifically, the major axis of the light spot 5 can be selected as 0.12mm, 0.13mm, 0.14mm, 0.15mm, 0.16mm, and the minor axis of the light spot 5 can be selected as 0.04mm, 0.05mm, 0.06mm, while the size of the light spot 3 is related to the size of the light spot 5. Therefore, the size of the light spot 3 is related to the size of the light spot 5. Specifically, the length of the light spot 3 is the distance from the highest point to the lowest point of the overlapping light spot 5. Preferably, the length of the light spot 3 can be selected as 0.15mm, 0.16mm, 0.17mm, 0.18mm; the width of the light spot 3 is the distance from one side to the other side of the overlapping light spot 5. Preferably, the width of the light spot 3 can be selected as 0.08mm, 0.09mm, 0.10mm, 0.11mm, 0.12mm.

[0040] More preferably, the plurality of light spots 5 overlap in the same area.

[0041] In practical applications, multiple light spots 5 will overlap in the same area to ensure energy concentration. The more dispersed the multiple light spots 5 are, the more dispersed the energy is. Therefore, the larger the area of ​​the overlapping area, the higher the energy density. However, they cannot completely overlap. Therefore, the overlap of multiple light spots 5 in the same area is conducive to ensuring energy concentration.

[0042] More preferably, the number of the light sources 1 in the light source group is at least two.

[0043] In this embodiment, the number of light sources 1 used is 3 to 6, but is not limited to 3 to 6. The number of light sources 1 can be increased or decreased according to actual work needs. The staff can adjust the number of light sources 1 by themselves, which is conducive to the staff to adjust according to actual conditions.

[0044] More preferably, the method for controlling the light spot size of the blue light module further comprises a control module, and the plurality of light sources 1 are electrically connected to the control module, and the control module controls the on and off of the plurality of light sources 1 through a PWM signal.

[0045] Through the above design, the control module can also control the on and off of multiple light sources 1, that is to say, the size of the light spot 3 can be controlled by the control module. Specifically, the on and off number of light sources 1 is controlled by controlling the duty cycle of the PWM signal. For example, when 4 light sources 1 are turned on, when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is 100%, the number of light sources 1 turned on is 4; when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is 75%, the number of light sources 1 turned on is 3; when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is 50%, the number of light sources 1 turned on is 2; when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is 25%, the number of light sources 1 turned on is 1; when the duty cycle of the PWM signal is 0%, the number of light sources 1 turned on is 0. Controlling the on and off of the light sources 1 in this way is beneficial to the operation of the staff, and is convenient for the staff to adjust according to the actual number of light sources 1. It should be noted that the control module is not shown in the figure.

[0046] Furthermore, the method for controlling the light spot size of the blue light module further comprises an incident module 4, and the incident module 4 is used to inject the plurality of light sources 1 into the focusing lens 2 in a mutually parallel manner.

[0047] In the above design, the incident module 4 ensures that multiple light sources 1 can be incident on the focusing lens 2 in a mutually parallel manner, so that under the action of the focusing lens 2, multiple light spots 5 form a light spot 3 in an incompletely overlapping manner, which is beneficial for the staff to focus and adjust the size of the light spot 3.

[0048] Preferably, the incident module 4 further includes at least one collimating lens 41 , and the collimating lens 41 is used to direct the plurality of light sources 1 into the focusing lens 2 in a parallel and direct manner.

[0049] Through the above design, the light source 1 can be concentrated and emitted in parallel after entering the collimating lens 41, which can ensure that multiple light sources 1 can be input into the focusing lens 2 in a parallel manner, thereby facilitating the staff to focus and adjust the size of the light spot 3.

[0050] More preferably, there are multiple collimating lenses 41 , and the number matches the number of light sources 1 , and the collimating lenses 41 are used to direct the corresponding light sources 1 into the focusing lens 2 in a parallel and direct manner.

[0051] In this embodiment, the number of collimating lenses 41 matches the number of light sources 1, which can further ensure that each light source 1 can be incident on the focusing lens 2 at the same direct angle, that is, in a parallel manner, thereby making it easier for the staff to adjust the position of the collimating lens 41 according to the single light source 1.

[0052] More preferably, the incident module 4 also includes a plurality of reflectors 42, the reflectors 42 match the number of the collimating lenses 41 and correspond one to one, and after the light source 1 enters the collimating lens 41, it passes through the reflector 42 and enters the focusing lens 2, and the reflector 42 is used to direct the plurality of light sources 1 into the focusing lens 2 in a mutually parallel manner.

[0053] Through the above design, the light source 1 is emitted in a parallel manner after entering the collimating lens 41, and then enters the reflector 42, and is reflected to the focusing lens 2 by the reflector 42. In this way, the staff can adjust the angle of the reflector 42 to adjust the incident angle of a single light source 1 entering the focusing lens 2, thereby further ensuring that the light source 1 can enter the focusing lens 2 in a parallel manner and form a light spot 3 through the focusing lens 2, which is beneficial for the staff to adjust the incident angle of each light source 1 entering the focusing lens 2.

[0054] More preferably, the included angles between the collimating lens 41 and the reflecting mirror 42 in the incident module 4 are the same.

[0055] In this embodiment, the included angles between the collimating lens 41 and the reflecting mirror 42 are the same, which can ensure that the light source 1 passes through the incident module 4 and enters the focusing mirror 2 in a parallel manner after being emitted.

[0056] Example 2

[0057] See also Figures 2 to 5 , a method for controlling the size of a blue light module spot 3, using the module described in Example 1;

The four light sources 1 are incident on the focusing lens 2 in a mutually parallel manner, and form a light spot 3 at the focus through the focusing lens 2; the light spot 3 is composed of light spots 5 formed at the focus position of each light source 1; the four light spots 5 at least partially overlap, but not completely overlap;

[0059] The light spot 5 is elliptical, the major axis of the light spot 5 is 0.14 mm, and the minor axis of the light spot 5 is 0.05 mm; the length of the light spot 3 is 0.16 mm, and the width of the light spot 3 is 0.10 mm;

[0066] Specifically, the module includes 6 light sources 1 and a focusing lens 2. The 6 light sources 1 are incident on the focusing lens 2 in a mutually parallel manner, and form a light spot 3 at the focus through the focusing lens 2; the light spot 3 is composed of light spots 5 formed at the focus position of each light source 1; the 6 light spots 5 at least partially overlap, but not completely overlap;

[0068] When all six light sources 1 are turned on, the relationship between the light spot 3 and the light spot 5 in this embodiment can be seen. Figure 6 ; It can be seen that the six light spots 5 have a common overlapping area Y;

[0069] When one light source 1 is turned off, the turned off light source 1 may be any one of the six light sources 1, and the relationship between the light spot 3 and the light spot 5 in this embodiment can be seen. Figure 7 , multiple light spots 5 have overlapping area Y;

[0074] Example 4

[0075] See also Figures 11-12 , a method for controlling the size of a blue light module spot 3, using the module described in Example 1;

[0076] Specifically, the module includes three light sources 1 and a focusing lens 2. The three light sources 1 are incident on the focusing lens 2 in a mutually parallel manner, and form a light spot 3 at the focus through the focusing lens 2; the light spot 3 is composed of light spots 5 formed at the focus position of each light source 1; the three light spots 5 at least partially overlap, but not completely overlap;

[0078] When all three light sources 1 are turned on, the relationship between the light spot 3 and the light spot 5 in this embodiment can be seen. Fig.11 ; It can be seen that there are areas where the three light spots 5 overlap with each other;

[0079] When one light source 1 is turned off, the turned off light source 1 may be any one of the three light sources 1, and the relationship between the light spot 3 and the light spot 5 in this embodiment can be seen. Fig.12 , there is an overlapping area Y between the two light spots 5;

[0080] When two light sources 1 are turned off, the turned-off light sources 1 may be any two light sources 1 among the three light sources 1 , and the light spot 3 in this embodiment is the light spot 5 formed by the turned-on light sources 1 .

[0081] Result analysis:

[0082] 1. According to Example 2, when four light sources 1 are introduced, the maximum light spot 3 is obtained as Figure 2 As shown, in particular, the four light spots 5 can be focused by the staff to adjust the area of ​​the overlapping area Y of the four light sources 1. Specifically, when the light spot 3 is required to be larger than Figure 2 When the maximum light spot 3 is adjusted, the light spot 3 needs to be reduced. The coverage area of ​​the light spot 3 can be reduced by reducing the number of light sources 1 at the beginning. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 It is knowable.

[0083] 2. According to Example 2 and Example 3, when the number of light sources 1 is increased, the maximum coverage area of ​​the light spot 3 increases, and the size of the light spot 3 can be more finely controlled. Specifically, the center position of the overlapping area Y remains unchanged, which can ensure that even if the coverage area of ​​the light spot 3 is reduced, the position where the energy is concentrated remains unchanged. Therefore, the more light sources 1 are introduced, the finer the control of the size of the light spot 3 is, and the position where the energy is concentrated remains unchanged.

[0084] 3. According to Embodiment 2 and Embodiment 4, when the light spots 5 are formed in different overlapping ways, the positions where the energy is concentrated are also different. When the light spots 5 are formed by overlapping in pairs to form a light spot 3, the energy will be dispersed, and the coverage area of ​​the light spot 3 is wider. When the number of light sources 1 turned on is reduced, the coverage area of ​​the light spot 3 changes greatly, which is not easy to control, and the energy is dispersed. In summary, the most preferred overlapping scheme of multiple light spots 5 is as follows: Figures 2 to 4 As shown, it is convenient for the staff to control the coverage area of ​​the light spot 3 and to concentrate the energy output, which is convenient for application in the fields of laser marking, laser engraving, etc.

[0085] In summary, the staff can control the size of the light spot 3 by controlling the number of light sources 1 introduced, wherein, when the number of light sources 1 introduced is greater, the control of the size of the light spot 3 is more precise, and the maximum coverage area of ​​the light spot 3 is also larger. On the other hand, by adjusting the overlap of the light spots 5, the light spots 5 can overlap in an energy-concentrated manner, as shown in the following example. Figures 2 to 10 As shown, the energy can be output in a concentrated manner in the overlapping area Y while the size of the light spot 3 is controlled. However, when the light spots 5 overlap in pairs, the size of the light spot 3 varies greatly, and the energy is output in a dispersed manner, which is not practical.

[0086] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
