[0085] Laser has three characteristics, namely monochromaticity, directionality, and coherence, which enable laser to be focused into a very small spot and obtain extremely high power density. Since its advent in the 1960s, laser processing technology has experienced rapid development and wide application. At present, laser processing technology is widely used in precision manufacturing, biomedicine, semiconductors and other fields.

[0086] However, the monitoring method of the laser processing process in the related art usually adopts an independent observation system, which is to place an independent optical microscope next to the laser processing system and observe the workpiece through an auxiliary light source. It has the problems of complex optical path, large space occupation, and limited accuracy. In addition, the imaging lens in the coaxial monitoring technology used in the related art usually has poor imaging quality and cannot accurately magnify the light spot of the laser focus, so it is impossible to clearly and accurately monitor and locate the processing position during the laser processing process. It is difficult to achieve perfect coaxiality between the laser processing path and the monitoring observation light path, and there is a problem of reduced observation accuracy and thus affected processing accuracy. In addition, the existing coaxial imaging lenses generally have a short focal length and cannot magnify the light spot of the laser focus, so it is impossible to clearly and accurately monitor and locate the processing position during the laser processing process to ensure the accuracy and quality of laser processing, which limits the development of certain precision laser processing and microscopic observation applications.

[0087] Based on this, the present application provides a laser coaxial imaging lens and a laser processing system, which can monitor and observe the laser processing process of the processing device in real time. The pattern observed in the present application is completely coaxial with the focus of the laser beam, and can realize the "what you see is what you get" machine vision positioning laser processing. And while realizing coaxial imaging monitoring, it has better imaging quality. The laser coaxial imaging lens of the present application can reach a focal length of up to 300mm, the object field diameter of the laser coaxial imaging lens is 7mm, the F number is 21.46, the maximum distortion value is 0.1370%, and the root mean square spot radius (RMS radius) meets the range of 2.246μm to 5.569μm. It has a better imaging spot size, which is conducive to improving the imaging accuracy, and is more conducive to improving the coaxiality of the working light and the monitoring light, and can monitor and locate the processing position more clearly and accurately during the laser processing process.

The first cemented lens group includes a second lens L2 and a third lens L3 that are glued to each other, the second lens L2 has positive focal length, and the third lens L3 has negative focal length. By gluing lenses with different refractive indices and dispersion characteristics together, chromatic aberration can be effectively reduced. The object side surface of the second lens L2 is convex, and the image side surface is convex, and the object side surface of the third lens L3 is concave, and the image side surface is concave.

The fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 both have negative optical power, which is beneficial to increase the imaging area of ​​the laser coaxial imaging lens 10, and the two can cooperate with each other to diffuse the light, which is beneficial to diffuse the light while reducing the light deflection angle, so that the light trend transitions smoothly, and improves the imaging quality of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10.

[0091] The second cemented lens group has a negative optical focal length, and can further cooperate with the fourth lens L4 and the fifth lens L5 to diffuse the light, which is beneficial to reduce the light deflection angle and make the light transition smoothly. The second cemented lens group includes a sixth lens L6 and a seventh lens L7 that are glued to each other. The sixth lens L6 has a negative optical focal length, and the seventh lens L7 has a positive optical focal length.

It can also reduce the reflection loss between the lens surfaces, improve the transmittance of light, improve the efficiency of the optical system, reduce the assembly sensitivity of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10, improve the assembly yield, and reduce the total optical length of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10.

Wherein, D45 is the distance from the image side surface of the fourth lens L4 to the object side surface of the fifth lens L5 on the optical axis, and D56 is the distance from the image side surface of the fifth lens L5 to the object side surface of the sixth lens L6 on the optical axis. If the above formula is satisfied, the center thicknesses of the first lens L1, the second lens L2, the third lens L3, the fourth lens L4, the fifth lens L5, the sixth lens L6 and the seventh lens L7 will not be less than 2 mm, which is beneficial to the molding and mass production of each lens.

[0102] In some embodiments, referring to Table 1, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 satisfies the following conditional formula: 1.4<Nd1<2.2, 1.4<Nd2<2.2, 1.7<Nd3<2.2, 1.6<Nd4<2.2, 1.7<Nd5<2.2, 1.6<Nd6<2.2, 1.7<Nd7<2.2. Wherein, Nd1 is the material refractive index of the first lens L1, Nd2 is the material refractive index of the second lens L2, Nd3 is the material refractive index of the third lens L3, Nd4 is the material refractive index of the fourth lens L4, Nd5 is the material refractive index of the fifth lens L5, Nd6 is the material refractive index of the sixth lens L6, and Nd7 is the material refractive index of the seventh lens L7. When the above formula is satisfied, the materials between the multiple lenses can be better matched, the degree of freedom of material selection and matching is high, and the chromatic aberration can be better reduced.

[0103] In some embodiments, see Figure 1 The laser coaxial imaging lens 10 further includes a filter L8, which is disposed on the side of the seventh lens L7 away from the sixth lens L6 along the optical axis. It is used to filter out light of unnecessary wavelengths. For example, the filter can be an infrared cutoff filter, which is used to weaken or filter out at least part of the infrared light. This reduces background noise and interference, enhances image contrast, and improves imaging quality.

[0104] In some embodiments, as shown in Table 1 above, along the optical axis, the distance D78 between the image side surface of the seventh lens L7 and the filter L8 on the optical axis satisfies 5mm≤D78≤15mm, and the size D8 of the filter L8 on the optical axis satisfies: 1≤D8≤3mm. The distance D89 between the filter L8 and the image surface on the optical axis satisfies: 20mm≤D89≤40mm. Satisfying the above formula, the filter L8 has a smaller width and a smaller spacing with the seventh lens L7, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10.

[0105] In some embodiments, in combination with the above-mentioned Table 1, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 satisfies the following conditional formula: 70<Vd1<85, 70<Vd2<85, 10<Vd3<25, 45<Vd4<60, 10<Vd5<25, 45<Vd6<60, 10<Vd7<25, 61<Vd8<68. Wherein, Vd1 is the Abel coefficient of the first lens L1, or the dispersion coefficient. Vd2 is the Abel coefficient of the second lens L2, Vd3 is the Abel coefficient of the third lens L3, Vd4 is the Abel coefficient of the fourth lens L4, Vd5 is the Abel coefficient of the fifth lens L5, Vd6 is the Abel coefficient of the sixth lens L6, Vd7 is the Abel coefficient of the seventh lens L7, and Vd8 is the Abel coefficient of the filter L8. To satisfy the above formula, the first lens L1 is made of a material with a high dispersion coefficient, which is beneficial for the lens to receive light with a larger field angle, while the third lens L3, the fifth lens L5 and the seventh lens L7 are made of a material with a low dispersion coefficient, which is beneficial for optimizing the aberration of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10.

[0106] Combined with reference Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2 It is a schematic diagram of the structure of a laser processing system in one embodiment of the present application.

[0107] The present application also provides a laser processing system 20 for processing a workpiece 8, comprising the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in any of the above embodiments. The laser processing system 20 also includes a working light source 1, a monitoring light source 2, a semi-transparent and semi-reflecting mirror 3, a galvanometer 4 and a camera 5. The working light source 1 is used to emit working light, and the monitoring light source 2 is used to emit monitoring light. The semi-transparent and semi-reflecting mirror 3 and the galvanometer 4 are arranged in sequence along the propagation direction of the working light. The working light is reflected to the galvanometer 4 through the semi-transparent and semi-reflecting mirror 3, and then reflected to the workpiece 8 through the galvanometer 4. The monitoring light source 2 is arranged on the side of the workpiece 8 facing the galvanometer 4. The monitoring light emitted by the monitoring light source 2 is irradiated to the working surface of the workpiece 8. The position of the working light on the working surface surface coincides with the position of the light spot of the monitoring light on the working surface surface. The monitoring light is then reflected to the galvanometer 4 through the workpiece 8, and is reflected by the galvanometer 4 and passes through the semi-transparent and semi-reflecting mirror 3 to the laser coaxial imaging lens 10. The camera 5 is arranged on the side of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 away from the semi-transparent and semi-reflecting mirror 3 to receive the monitoring light passing through the laser coaxial imaging lens 10.

[0108] It can be understood that both the working light and the monitoring light pass through the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3 and the galvanometer 4 to achieve coaxial propagation, so that the processing process of the working light on the workpiece 8 can be observed in real time through the monitoring light, and the coaxial imaging mode of the monitoring light and the working light can be achieved. The coaxial design ensures the precise alignment between the laser processing path and the observation path, and can monitor and locate the processing position more clearly and accurately during the laser processing process. At the same time, it is conducive to simplifying the components in the laser processing system 20 and saving space. The laser coaxial imaging lens 10 can correct the aberration of the optical system, improve the imaging quality of the monitoring light, and further improve the clarity and accuracy of the monitoring. Compared with the shorter focal length of the coaxial imaging lens in the related art, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 of the present application has a longer focal length of up to 300 mm, achieving a small size and a large focal length. This is especially important for the laser processing system 20 that requires a larger working space, avoiding the risk of collision between the lens and the workpiece 8. The reduction in the space occupied is conducive to space saving, facilitating the operation and maintenance of the laser processing system 20, and the imaging quality is better, making the monitoring of the laser processing system 20 more accurate, which has significant advantages.

[0109] In some embodiments, the monitoring light source 2 is a green light source, and the wavelength range of the emitted monitoring light is 522nm to 542nm, with a central wavelength of 532nm. The working light source 1 is a near-infrared light source, with a central wavelength of 1064nm. Selecting a green light source with a wavelength of 532nm can reduce potential interference with the processing light, because the difference between 532nm (green) and 1064nm (near infrared) ensures that the spectral overlap is small, and the 1064nm laser will not significantly affect the coaxial monitoring light. At the same time, the 532nm green light source can maintain sufficient visibility on various workpiece 8 materials to achieve clear observation.

[0110] It can be understood that only a green light source is used as the monitoring light source 2, so that the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 is a single-wavelength imaging, which avoids the chromatic aberration and spectral interference that may occur in the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 during multi-wavelength imaging, and ensures the clarity and accuracy of the image. The single-wavelength design also simplifies the optical design of the laser processing system 20, reduces the cost and improves the stability of the laser processing system 20.

[0111] In some embodiments, the camera 5 may be a CCD camera to obtain precise and clear images.

[0112] In some embodiments, the laser processing system 20 further includes a field lens 6, which is disposed between the galvanometer 4 and the workpiece 8. By setting the field lens 6 and the laser coaxial imaging lens 10, a double telecentric design is realized. No matter how the workpiece 8 moves within the focal depth range, the magnification of the monitoring light remains constant, and the size and shape of the final image will not change, which simplifies the image processing and measurement process without the need for complex geometric correction. In addition, the fixed magnification and telecentric optical path design can make the image have a stable magnification within a certain focal depth range, which is beneficial for operators to observe tiny details and make precise adjustments to processing parameters.

[0113] The laser coaxial imaging lens 10 can cooperate with the field lens 6 to correct the aberration of the field lens 6 itself. The cooperation between the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 and the field lens 6 optimizes the optical performance of the system, reduces aberrations, and maximizes the imaging quality and the monitoring resolution. The use of high-quality optical components can ensure clear and sharp images for reliable process monitoring. This can further improve the resolution of observation while providing a stable and consistent magnification.

[0114] In some embodiments, the laser processing system 20 further includes an aperture 7, which is disposed between the galvanometer 4 and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3, and the aperture 7 may be a light inlet of the mechanical housing of the galvanometer 4. The spacing D0 between the aperture 7 and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3 on the optical axis satisfies: 20mm≤D0≤50mm, and the radius a of the light spot formed by the monitoring light received by the camera 5 satisfies: 2.246μm≤a≤5.569μm. Thus, there is a small interval between the aperture 7 and the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the laser processing system 20. In addition, the aperture 7 limits the size of the light, limits the lateral propagation of the light, controls the intensity, distribution and direction of the light, greatly reduces the dark angle that often occurs in the system with a separate optical path, ensures uniform illumination and imaging in the entire field of view, is conducive to obtaining a light spot with a better size, is conducive to improving the processing effect of the working light on the workpiece 8, and at the same time, is conducive to improving the quality of the light spot formed by the monitoring light on the camera 5, and is conducive to improving the monitoring accuracy.

[0115] In some embodiments, the size x of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3 on the optical axis satisfies: 20≤x≤40mm, and the spacing y between the image side surface of the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3 and the object side surface of the first lens L1 on the optical axis satisfies: 5≤y≤20mm. Thus, the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3 can have a better spacing with the first lens L1 while transmitting the monitoring light and reflecting the working light, which is beneficial to the optimization of the laser processing system 20.

[0116] The laser coaxial imaging lens 10 and the laser processing system 20 of the present application have better imaging quality. Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 This is a spot diagram of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in one embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that most of the diffuse spots are concentrated within the Airy disk, indicating that the imaging quality of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 is relatively good. Figure 4 This is a light fan diagram of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in one embodiment of the present application. It shows the aberration correction of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10. It can be seen from the figure that the aberrations such as spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 are effectively corrected. Figure 5 The transfer function curve of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in one embodiment of the present application is shown in the figure. As can be seen from the figure, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 has a high resolution and clarity, and a good imaging quality. Figure 6 The field curvature and distortion curve of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in one embodiment of the present application is shown. The field curvature and distortion of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 are shown. As can be seen from the figure, the ideal image plane and the actual image plane are almost completely overlapped, and the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 has better anti-distortion capability, thereby having better imaging quality.

[0117] The present application can realize the coaxial imaging of the working light path and the monitoring light path through the design of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10, the semi-transparent and semi-reflective mirror 3, the galvanometer 4, the field lens 6, the working light source 1 and the monitoring light source 2, which is conducive to real-time monitoring of the working state of the working light source 1 on the workpiece 8, and is conducive to improving the accuracy of monitoring. In addition, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 is conducive to reducing aberrations, spherical aberrations and field curvatures through the coordinated design of multiple lenses, and can correct chromatic aberrations, and has better imaging quality, which is conducive to further improving the accuracy of monitoring, and can clearly and accurately monitor and locate the processing position during the laser processing process. At the same time, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 adopts a glued lens group, and the size of multiple lenses and the spacing between adjacent lenses are designed, which is conducive to reducing the size of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 and facilitating miniaturization design.
