Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of cigarette processing, and in particular relates to a laser perforating device with a double focusing unit. Background Art

[0002] The inventor proposed a design scheme in Chinese patent CN202010147626 that uses a cam mechanism to control the movement of the swing arm. The scheme aims to ensure that the rotating nozzle moves on a specific trajectory through mechanical linkage, thereby improving processing accuracy and efficiency. However, in actual application, this design exposes some potential technical problems.

[0003] Specifically, in the above-mentioned patent design, a sliding device controlled by a spring is installed at the end of the swing arm. The purpose is to ensure that the swing arm can move smoothly and accurately drive the rotating nozzle to work under the drive of the cam. However, in the actual operating environment, the elastic characteristics of the spring will change due to long-term use, which may cause the movement trajectory of the swing arm to deviate. In addition, external factors such as the intrusion of dust and other impurities may also cause the sliding device to become blocked, further interfering with the normal operation of the swing arm. These problems will eventually lead to deviations in the spatial positioning of the rotating nozzle, and it cannot be ensured that the nozzle can return to the preset position after each swing back.

[0004] Once the position of the rotating nozzle is offset, the most direct impact is the relative distance between the nozzle and the processing object, especially for those application scenarios that require extremely high focal length accuracy, such as laser drilling or fine engraving. In this case, the focusing accuracy of the laser beam will be seriously affected, which may lead to problems such as inconsistent apertures on the surface of the workpiece and unclear edges. In severe cases, it will increase the scrap rate and increase production costs.

[0005] Therefore, how to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a more stable and reliable rotating nozzle device has become an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention

At this time, the circumference of the cam only contains a groove of a forward curve segment and a reverse curve segment; when the small shaft at one end of the swing arm runs to the groove of the reverse curve segment of the cam, the swing arm drives the rotating suction nozzle device to swing in the opposite direction of the running direction of the drum-shaped rotating wheel and the large gear and maintains a static spatial position. During this period, the drum-shaped rotating wheel and the large gear continue to rotate, so that the large gear drives the small gear to rotate and then drives the rotating suction nozzle to rotate by an angle θ.

[0010] Further preferably, the two focusing units are simultaneously arranged on the outer side of the circumference of the drum-shaped rotating wheel or the large gear, at positions corresponding to the relative still points of two spatial positions formed when the reverse curve segment of the cam drives the swing arm to swing in the opposite direction. At this time, the circumference of the cam includes grooves of two positive curve segments and two reverse curve segments; when the small shaft at one end of the swing arm runs to the two reverse curve segment grooves of the cam, the swing arm drives the rotating suction nozzle device to swing in the opposite direction of the running direction of the drum-shaped rotating wheel and the large gear and maintains a stationary spatial position. During this period, the drum-shaped rotating wheel and the large gear continue to rotate, so that the large gear drives the small gear to rotate and then drives the rotating suction nozzle to rotate by an angle θ.

The laser defocusing phenomenon caused by the change of the center height of the cigarette caused by the swing of the eccentrically arranged swing arm in the comparison scheme is improved, and the accuracy of laser focusing is improved; 3. The sliding device can be arranged inside the space of the drum-shaped rotating wheel, which avoids the blockage, hysteresis, lubrication failure and other situations caused by the dust generated by laser drilling, thereby ensuring the high precision of the rotating nozzle transmission; BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
