[0037] Example 1
[0038] like Figure 1As shown, this embodiment provides a miniature laser light trap structure, including: a cavity C, a triangular assembly 2, a conical structure 4, a reflector 7, and a top cover. The top cover can cover the top of the entire light trap structure (i.e., the light inlet port 1 end) for easy light shielding. The cavity C has a cavity wall 3 and is composed of a cuboid inner cavity A and a trapezoidal inner cavity B. The cuboid inner cavity A is for easy fixation of the triangular assembly 2. The opening end of the cuboid inner cavity A has the laser light inlet port 1. The conical structure 4 is disposed inside the trapezoidal inner cavity B. The triangular assembly 2 is disposed at the opening end of the cuboid inner cavity A (the light inlet port 1 end). The triangular assembly 2 facilitates the reception of stray light reflected from the reflector 7. The reflector 7 is disposed on the two inner sidewalls of the trapezoidal inner cavity B. The conical structure 4 is directly opposite the geometric center of the light inlet port 1 of the cavity C and is fixed in the cavity C. The triangular assembly 2 is fixed in the cavity C, and the reflector 7 is fixed on the sidewall of the trapezoidal inner cavity B of the cavity C and fixed in the cavity C.
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the tip of the conical structure 4 is positioned directly opposite the geometric center of the light-inlet port 1 of the cavity C, allowing light to be focused through the tip of the cone, thereby concentrating the light to produce a stronger beam. Figure 2 As shown, a spiral groove 41 is formed on the outer wall of the conical structure 4, and a threaded structure 5 is provided on the spiral groove 41. The threaded structure 5 can be made of glass. The conical structure 4 and the threaded structure 5 are first sprayed with a layer of anodized black sandblasting to improve the wear resistance, corrosion resistance and increase the surface roughness of the conical structure 4 and the threaded structure 5, which is beneficial to increase the adhesion of the coating. Then, a high-absorption black light-absorbing paint (generally, black light-absorbing paint has a high absorption rate because black itself absorbs light) is applied to the conical structure 4 and the threaded structure 5 to absorb light. Light is scattered by the outer surface of the conical structure 4 and the threaded structure 5 can also scatter light, causing the light to diverge in different directions. The cross-section of the conical structure 4 gradually increases from the inner cavity A of the cuboid to the inner cavity B of the trapezoidal structure.
[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two sets of triangular bodies 2. Each set consists of two triangular bodies, forming a group or pair. Each set of triangular bodies 2 contains two triangular bodies. The cross-section of each triangular body is an equilateral triangle. The side length of each triangular body multiplied by the number of triangular bodies in each set of triangular bodies 2 equals the length of the inner wall 6 of the cuboid cavity A. The side length of the equilateral triangle is generally 1mm-3mm. Two adjacent equilateral triangular bodies ensure that light is continuously reflected within the set of triangular bodies 2 until the light disappears.
[0041] In this embodiment, the mirror 7 is a low reflectivity mirror, and the mirror 7 is one of anti-reflective glass, non-reflective glass or anti-glare glass, and the reflectivity of the mirror 7 is less than 5%. Due to the low reflectivity of the low reflectivity mirror 7, the reflected radiation energy is greatly reduced compared to the original, increasing the loss of light energy. The low reflectivity mirror 7 is a mirror surface with a smooth surface.
[0042] In this embodiment, the height of the conical structure 4 and the bottom circle (i.e. the circle at the bottom end of the conical structure 4) away from the conical tip (the top end of the conical structure 4) of the conical structure 4 are in a ratio of 5:2, which can enable the incident light to complete a substantially ideal diffuse reflection on the thread structure 5 of each conical structure 4.
[0043] In this embodiment, the conical structure 4 is connected to the glass base 9, and the glass base 9 is away from the light inlet port 1. The diameter of the bottom circle at the bottom end of the conical structure 4 is the same as the diameter of the glass base 9, and the glass base 9 is a cylinder. The end surface circle (i.e. the bottom end circle of the glass base 9, and the top end circle of the glass base 9 is connected to the conical structure 4) of the glass base 9 away from the light inlet port 1 is close to the mirror 7, so that substantially all the light received will pass through the conical structure 4.
[0044] In this embodiment, the side surface of the conical structure 4 has a thread structure 5, and the thread structure 5 is an SM05 optical thread, which can participate in the absorption of laser.
[0045] In this embodiment, the angle between the mirror 7 and the center line of the cavity C is in the range of -10° to -20° or 10° to 20°.
[0046] In this embodiment, the outer wall 8 of the triangular group is coated with light-absorbing paint, and the light-absorbing paint should be high-absorption black paint.
[0047] In this embodiment, the inner wall 6 of the cuboid inner cavity is coated with light-absorbing paint, and the light-absorbing paint should be high-absorption black paint.
[0048] In this embodiment, the total length of the cavity C is not more than 10 mm.
[0049] In this embodiment, the opening end of the cuboid inner cavity A has a laser light inlet port 1, and the opening of the laser light inlet port 1 is a rectangle with a width of 4 mm and a height of 5 mm.
[0050] Embodiment 2
[0051] Based on the embodiment 1, assuming that the energy of the light entering the light trap is 100, after the diffuse reflection of the conical structure 4, the leaked light energy is 100*0.05*0.01=0.05; after the reflection of the mirror 7 at least once, the energy remaining is not more than 0.0025. Since part of the light energy is also absorbed by the thread structure 5 on the conical structure 4, or a certain proportion of overflow needs to be reflected for many times, the leakage of this part can be about 0.0001, that is, the absorption rate can reach 0.999999.
[0052] Embodiment 3
[0053] Based on all the above embodiments, the light of the application passes through the conical structure 4 and the mirror 7 in turn from the light inlet port 1 to the triangular group 2.
[0054] The conical tip of the conical structure 4 is directly opposite the geometric center of the light inlet port 1 of the cavity C, so that the light can be focused through the conical tip, the light in the conical structure 4 is concentrated or absorbed to generate a stronger light beam, the light in the conical structure 4 is scattered by the outer sidewall of the conical structure 4 and the thread structure 5 to make the light diverge in different directions.
[0055] Since the reflected radiant energy of the mirror 7 is greatly reduced compared to the original, the loss of light energy is increased. The low reflector 7 is a mirror surface with smooth surface.
[0056] Finally, the light can be reflected in the triangular group 2 through adjacent equilateral triangles until the light disappears. The inner wall 6 of the cuboid cavity is coated with light-absorbing paint, which can further enhance the absorption of light after scattering in the conical structure 4.
[0057] Therefore, the light trap structure for micro laser provided by the embodiment of the application greatly reduces the proportion of diffused light escaping, improves the absorption rate of the light trap for light, can meet the needs of the light trap for the extremely early equipment overheating detection system, realizes efficient collection and focusing of light, and has the advantages of small size, simple manufacturing, and low cost.
[0058] The above is only a specific embodiment of the application, but the protection scope of the application is not limited thereto, any person skilled in the art can easily think of changes or replacements within the technical range disclosed by the application, which should be covered within the protection scope of the application. Therefore, the protection scope of the application should be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
