[0044] The embodiments of the present application provide a laser water-guiding nozzle, a laser water-guiding assembly, and a water-guiding laser device, which are described in detail below.
[0045] First, an embodiment of the present application provides a laser water guide nozzle.
[0046] Figure 1 A partial cross-sectional view of an embodiment of a water-guided laser device provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 The enlarged view of A in the figure. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the laser water guide nozzle 113 is mainly used for the laser water guide component 110 , and the laser water guide component 110 is used to communicate with the laser emitting component optical path so that the laser emitted by the laser emitting component is transmitted in the water column sprayed by the laser water guide nozzle 113 .
[0047] Among them, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the laser water guide nozzle 113 includes a nozzle base 1131 and a metal glass plate 1134, the nozzle base 1131 is provided with a through hole 1132 extending along a first direction, the metal glass plate 1134 is arranged on one side of the nozzle base 1131 along the first direction, one side surface of the metal glass plate 1134 faces the nozzle base 1131, the metal glass plate 1134 is provided with a water spray hole 1135 extending along the first direction, the water spray hole 1135 penetrates the metal glass plate 1134, and one end of the water spray hole 1135 is aligned and connected with one end of the through hole 1132, the minimum aperture of the through hole 1132 is greater than or equal to the aperture of the water spray hole 1135, so that the water column sprayed from one end of the water spray hole 1135 can pass through the through hole 1132 and be ejected from the other end of the through hole 1132, and the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 1132 can maintain a certain distance from the water column to improve the stability of the water column. At the same time, when the minimum aperture of the through hole 1132 is larger than the aperture of the water spray hole 1135, Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a zero-flow area can also be formed between the inner circumferential surface of the through hole 1132 and the water column sprayed out of the water spray hole 1135 to form a water column constriction to keep the structure of the water column stable.
[0048] In some embodiments, the diameter of the water spray hole 1135 can be less than or equal to 50 μm. Figure 7 As shown, the diameter of the water column sprayed from the water spray hole 1135 of the metallic glass plate 1134 can be made smaller, so that the laser in the water column is more concentrated, and the laser energy density is higher, so as to improve the cutting accuracy and cutting efficiency of the water-guided laser device 100. The aperture of the water spray hole 1135 can be 45 μm, 40 μm, 35 μm, 30 μm, etc., which can be determined according to the type of the water-guided laser device 100.
[0049] The embodiment of the present application forms the water spray hole 1135 on a metallic glass sheet made of metallic glass, and can ensure the structural strength of the metallic glass sheet while making the aperture of the water spray hole 1135 not exceed 50 μm. Compared with the existing laser water-guided nozzle 113, the aperture of the water spray hole 1135 can be greatly reduced, so that the diameter of the high-pressure water column sprayed from the water spray hole 1135 is smaller, thereby making the laser in the water column more concentrated, and the laser energy density is higher, so as to improve the cutting accuracy and cutting efficiency of the water-guided laser device 100.
[0050] Among them, the material of the metal glass plate 1134 can include a non-gold alloy (also called an amorphous alloy) to make the metal glass plate 1134 have higher strength, hardness, toughness and rigidity, so that the water spray hole 1135 on the metal glass plate 1134 can have a smaller aperture and a more stable structure.
[0051] It should be noted that the entire material of the metal glass plate 1134 can be a non-gold alloy, or part of the material of the metal glass plate 1134 can be a non-gold alloy, as long as the aperture of the nozzle hole can be made smaller and can remain stable.
[0052] In some embodiments, the aperture of the water jet hole 1135 can be greater than or equal to 5 μm and less than or equal to 20 μm, so that the aperture of the water jet hole 1135 is smaller, a thinner water column can be formed, and the laser in the water column is more concentrated, and the laser energy density is higher. The aperture of the water jet hole 1135 can be 7 μm, 10 μm, 12 μm, 13 μm, 15 μm, 18 μm, etc.
[0053] In some embodiments, the metal glass plate 1134 may be made of a non-light-transmitting material to prevent the metal glass from affecting the spot area of the laser, thereby helping to maintain the beam density of the laser.
[0054] In some embodiments, the metal glass plate 1134 of the laser water guide nozzle 113 can be welded to the nozzle base 1131 as a whole, so that the connection between the metal glass plate 1134 and the nozzle base 1131 is more secure and helps to improve the structural strength of the metal glass plate 1134.
[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a mounting groove 1133 may be provided on one side of the nozzle base 1131 along the first direction, and the metal glass plate 1134 may be at least partially mounted in the mounting groove 1133, with one side of the metal glass plate 1134 facing the bottom surface of the mounting groove 1133. The inner surface of the mounting groove 1133 may limit the metal glass plate 1134 to a certain extent, so that the position of the metal glass plate 1134 relative to the nozzle base 1131 is more stable.
[0056] A through hole 1132 may be provided on the bottom surface of the mounting groove 1133 of the nozzle base 1131 , so that after the metal glass plate 1134 is installed in the mounting groove 1133 , one end of the water spray hole 1135 is aligned and connected with one end of the through hole 1132 .
[0057] In addition, the inner side wall of the mounting groove 1133 of the nozzle base 1131 may be welded to the outer side of the metal glass plate 1134 to make the connection between the nozzle base 1131 and the metal glass plate 1134 more firmly. Specifically, the inner side wall of the mounting groove 1133 is welded to the outer side of the metal glass plate 1134 to form a weld, which extends in a ring shape along the circumference of the metal glass plate 1134 to improve the welding stability between the metal glass plate 1134 and the nozzle base 1131.
[0058] The minimum distance between the outer side of the metal glass plate 1134 and the inner side of the water spray hole 1135 can be greater than or equal to 100 μm, so as to avoid the problem that the water spray hole 1135 of the metal glass plate 1134 and the weld between the metal glass plate 1134 and the nozzle base 1131 are too small, which may cause the water spray hole 1135 to deform. The minimum distance between the outer side of the metal glass plate 1134 and the inner side of the water spray hole 1135 can be 110 μm, 120 μm, 130 μm, 150 μm, etc., which is not limited here.
[0059] Specifically, the metal glass plate 1134 is a circular ring plate, and the mounting groove 1133 of the nozzle base 1131 is a cylindrical groove, so that the shape of the mounting groove 1133 can be adapted to the shape of the metal glass plate 1134, so that the metal glass plate 1134 can be stably held in the mounting groove 1133.
[0060] The outer diameter of the metal glass plate 1134 is greater than or equal to 1 mm, so that a sufficient distance can be maintained between the outer side of the metal glass plate 1134 and the inner side of the water spray hole 1135. The inner diameter of the mounting groove 1133 of the nozzle base 1131 is greater than or equal to 1.5 mm, so that there is enough space between the metal glass plate 1134 and the nozzle base 1131 for welding, and the size of the mounting groove 1133 of the nozzle base 1131 and the metal glass plate 1134 is too small, which makes it inconvenient to weld the nozzle base 1131 and the metal glass plate 1134.
[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 4 As shown, the through hole 1132 of the nozzle base 1131 can be a conical hole, and the aperture of the through hole 1132 gradually increases in the direction away from the metal glass plate 1134, so that the nozzle base has a sufficient area at the edge of the through hole 1132 close to the metal glass plate 1134 to support the metal glass plate 1134, and at the same time, a large distance is provided between the inner circumference of the through hole 1132 and the water column sprayed from the water spray hole 1135. Among them, the angle formed by the generatrix of the inner circumference of the through hole 1132 and the center line can be 30°~80°. In addition, the material of the nozzle base 1131 can be a metal material with rust-proof effect.
[0062] In some embodiments, the minimum aperture of the through hole 1132 of the nozzle base 1131 can be greater than or equal to 50 μm, so that the minimum aperture of the through hole 1132 is greater than or equal to the aperture of the water spray hole 1135 .
[0063] In some embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the laser water-guided nozzle 113 may further include a mounting base 1136, a threaded hole 1137 is provided on one side of the mounting base 1136 along the first direction, the nozzle base 1131 is mounted on the threaded hole 1137, and an outer circumference of the nozzle base 1131 is provided with an external thread engaged with the threaded hole 1137, so that the connection between the nozzle base 1131 and the mounting base 1136 is more stable, and the mounting base 1136 is connected to the containing structure 111 of the water-guided laser device 100, so that the position of the metal glass plate 1134 relative to the containing structure 111 is kept stable.
[0064] The embodiment of the present application further provides a laser water guide assembly 110, which includes a laser water guide nozzle 113. The specific structure of the laser water guide nozzle 113 refers to the above embodiment. Since the laser water guide assembly 110 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described one by one here.
[0065] Among them, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the laser water guide assembly 110 may include a containing structure 111, a protective lens 112 and a laser water guide nozzle 113. The containing structure 111 includes a containing cavity 1111. The inner surface of the containing cavity 1111 is provided with a water inlet 1112, and the water inlet 1112 is used to communicate with a water supply device so as to supply water to the water supply device box containing cavity 1111. The containing structure 111 is also provided with a light-transmitting hole 1114 and a mounting hole 1116 extending along a first direction. The light-transmitting hole 1114 and the mounting hole 1116 are distributed on both sides of the containing cavity 1111 along the first direction and are respectively connected to the containing cavity 1111.
[0066] The protective lens 112 is connected to the containing structure 111, and the protective lens 112 is located in the containing cavity 1111 and seals the light-transmitting hole 1114. Thus, the laser can pass through the light-transmitting hole 1114 and the protective lens 112 and enter the containing cavity 1111, and at the same time, it can also prevent the water in the containing cavity 1111 from leaking out from the light-transmitting hole 1114.
[0067] The laser water guide nozzle 113 is installed in the installation hole 1116, and the water spray hole 1135 of the metal glass plate 1134 of the laser water guide nozzle 113 is connected to the accommodating chamber 1111, and the water spray hole 1135 is optically connected to the light transmission hole 1114 through the accommodating chamber 1111. Thus, the water in the accommodating chamber 1111 can be sprayed out from the water spray hole 1135 of the metal glass plate 1134 to form a water column, and after the laser enters the accommodating chamber 1111, it can pass through the water spray hole 1135 and then be emitted from the side of the laser water guide nozzle 113 away from the accommodating chamber 1111.
[0068] In some embodiments, a receiving groove 1113 may be provided on the inner surface of the receiving cavity 1111 of the receiving structure 111. The receiving groove 1113 is located on the side of the receiving cavity 1111 away from the laser water guide nozzle 113, and the light-transmitting hole 1114 is provided on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 1113. The protective lens 112 is installed in the receiving groove 1113, thereby making the connection between the protective lens 112 and the receiving structure 111 more stable, which is beneficial to improving the sealing effect of the protective lens 112 on the light-transmitting hole 1114.
[0069] The bottom surface of the receiving groove 1113 can be sealed with the protective lens 112, so that the protective lens 112 seals the light-transmitting hole 1114. Specifically, an annular groove 1115 can be provided on the bottom surface of the receiving groove 1113, and the annular groove 1115 is located at the periphery of the light-transmitting hole 1114. A sealing member 1117 is provided in the annular groove 1115, and the sealing member 1117 abuts against the side of the protective lens 112 facing the bottom surface, so that the bottom surface of the receiving groove 1113 and the protective lens 112 are sealed. The sealing member 1117 can be a sealing ring, and its material includes silicone, rubber, etc., which is not limited here.
[0070] Alternatively, the side of the receiving groove 1113 may be sealed with the protective lens 112 so that the protective lens 112 seals the light-transmitting hole 1114. Specifically, a sealant may be provided between the inner side of the receiving groove 1113 and the outer peripheral surface of the protective lens 112, and the sealant extends along the circumference of the protective lens 112 so that the side of the receiving groove 1113 and the protective lens 112 are sealed. Glue may be applied to the inner side of the receiving groove 1113 or the outer peripheral surface of the protective lens 112. When the protective lens 112 is installed in the receiving groove 1113, the glue is clamped between the inner side of the receiving groove 1113 and the outer peripheral surface of the protective lens 112 and solidifies to form a sealant.
[0071] It should be noted that only one of the bottom surface and the side surface of the accommodating groove 1113 can be sealed with the protective lens 112, or both the bottom surface and the side surface of the accommodating groove 1113 can be sealed with the protective lens 112. Of course, the latter can further improve the sealing effect of the protective lens 112 on the light-transmitting hole 1114.
[0072] In some embodiments, the inner side surface of the receiving groove 1113 and the outer peripheral surface of the protective lens 112 can both be conical surfaces, the inner side surface of the receiving groove 1113 and the outer peripheral surface of the protective lens 112 have the same taper, and the inner diameter of the receiving groove 1113 and the inner diameter of the protective lens 112 gradually decrease in the direction away from the receiving groove 1113, so that after the protective lens 112 is installed in the receiving groove 1113, the outer peripheral surface of the protective lens 112 is more adapted to the shape of the inner side surface of the receiving groove 1113 and can fit more closely.
[0073] At the same time, under the action of the water pressure in the accommodating cavity 1111 , the protective lens 112 can create a large pressure between the inner side and bottom surface of the accommodating groove 1113 and the protective lens 112 , so as to further improve the sealing effect of the protective lens 112 on the light-transmitting hole 1114 .
[0074] In some embodiments, an anti-reflection film may be provided on the surface of the side of the protective lens 112 facing the accommodating cavity 1111 to reduce the loss of the laser when passing through the protective lens 112. In addition, a hydrophobic film may be provided on the surface of the side of the protective lens 112 facing away from the accommodating cavity 1111 to prevent the water vapor on the side of the protective lens 112 facing away from the accommodating cavity 1111 from condensing to form water droplets on the surface of the side of the protective lens 112 facing away from the accommodating cavity 1111, thereby affecting the laser from entering the protective lens 112.
