[0032] An intelligent laser cleaning device with remote control and monitoring functions in this embodiment integrates a 4G / 5G communication module and a Wi-Fi module in the control panel 18, and establishes communication for the laser 3 and the chiller 2 at the same time, so that the operation control system of the intelligent laser cleaning device has networking and secondary development functions, and can transmit the equipment's operating data (such as working status, cleaning efficiency, laser power, temperature, alarm information, etc.) to the cloud server in real time. At the same time, the cloud can synchronize the operating system screen, issue instructions to operate the equipment to start and stop, and adjust various cleaning parameter settings.

[0033] In this embodiment, the laser 3 is a current mainstream laser 3, including two types: pulse type and continuous type. The laser 3 is used to generate a laser beam.

[0034] In this embodiment, the chiller 2 cools water through a refrigeration system, and then a water pump delivers low-temperature cooling water into the cleaning gun head pipeline that needs to be cooled. The cooling water of the chiller 2 takes away the heat, and then the temperature rises and flows back to the water tank, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the cleaning gun head.

[0035] Two specific application scenarios of an intelligent laser cleaning device with remote control and monitoring functions of the present invention are introduced below.

[0036] 1: In some cases where the working conditions are complex, the construction area is small, and the equipment body 1 is not convenient to move in and out, the equipment body 1 can be moved to the periphery of the working area, and the start button 15 can be pressed to start the intelligent laser cleaning equipment. At the same time, the optical fiber and the cleaning gun head are removed, and the personnel enter the working area holding the cleaning gun head. At this time, the equipment body 1 is far away from the personnel. During the cleaning operation, if it is necessary to control the action of the intelligent laser cleaning equipment, the APP can be operated on the handheld terminal to control the intelligent laser cleaning equipment to start the galvanometer swing and adjust the laser power. The personnel do not need to return to the equipment body 1, and the cleaning operation process is not affected. In addition, when the cleaning parameters of the intelligent laser cleaning equipment need to be modified due to different working conditions, the laser power and frequency can also be adjusted through the APP, which effectively solves the problem that it is troublesome and difficult to operate or adjust the equipment parameters when the working area is far away from the equipment body 1 or the working space is small and the equipment body 1 is inconvenient to move.

[0037] 2. When the intelligent laser cleaning equipment is sold to customers or operators and the equipment fails during use, such as failure to emit light or alarm, the technicians can remotely view the current parameters of the equipment and the operating conditions of the internal components of the machine through the APP or web page, and remotely diagnose equipment failures, which can speed up diagnostic efficiency and reduce communication costs.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made by using the contents of the present invention specification and drawings under the inventive concept of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
