[0104] In some embodiments, referring to 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, 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 plane on the optical axis satisfies: 20mm≤D89≤40mm. Satisfying the above formula, the filter L8 has a smaller width, and the distance between the filter L8 and the seventh lens L7 is smaller, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10.
[0105] In some embodiments, referring to Table 1 above, 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.

[0106] Referring to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of a laser processing system in an embodiment of the present application.
[0107] The 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 further comprises a working light source 1 for emitting working light, a monitoring light source 2 for emitting monitoring light, a half-mirror 3, a galvanometer 4, and a camera 5. The half-mirror 3 and the galvanometer 4 are sequentially arranged along the propagation direction of the working light. The working light is reflected by the half-mirror 3 to the galvanometer 4, and then reflected by the galvanometer 4 to the workpiece 8. 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 irradiates the working surface of the workpiece 8, and the position of the working light on the working surface coincides with the spot position of the monitoring light on the working surface. The monitoring light is reflected by the workpiece 8 to the galvanometer 4, and then reflected by the galvanometer 4 and transmitted through the half-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 half-mirror 3, for receiving the monitoring light passing through the laser coaxial imaging lens 10.
[0108] It can be understood that the working light and the monitoring light both pass through the half-mirror 3 and the galvanometer 4, achieving coaxial propagation, so that the processing process of the workpiece 8 by the monitoring working light can be observed in real time through the monitoring light, and the coaxial imaging mode of the monitoring light and the working light is achieved. The coaxial design ensures accurate alignment between the laser processing path and the observation path, which can more clearly and accurately monitor and position the processing position during laser processing. At the same time, it is beneficial to simplify the components in the laser processing system 20 and save the occupied space. The laser coaxial imaging lens 10 can correct the aberration of the optical system and improve the imaging quality of the monitoring light, further improving the clarity and accuracy of the monitoring. Compared with the short focal length of the coaxial imaging lens in the related art, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 has a longer focal length of up to 300 mm, achieving small size and long focal length, which is particularly important for laser processing systems 20 that require a larger working space, avoiding the risk of collision between the lens and the workpiece 8, and reducing the occupied space, which is beneficial to save space and facilitate operation and maintenance of the laser processing system 20. Moreover, the imaging quality is better, making the laser processing system 20 monitoring more accurate, which has significant advantages.
[0109] In some embodiments, the monitoring light source 2 is a green light source, emitting monitoring light in the wavelength range of 522 nm to 542 nm, with a central wavelength of 532 nm. The working light source 1 is a near-infrared light source, with a central wavelength of 1064 nm. The selection of a green light source with a wavelength of 532 nm can reduce potential interference with the processing light, as the difference between 532 nm (green) and 1064 nm (near-infrared) ensures that the spectral overlap is small, and the 1064 nm laser does not significantly affect the coaxial monitoring light, while the 532 nm green light source can maintain sufficient visibility on various workpiece 8 materials to achieve clear observation.
[0110] It can be understood that, by using only a green light source as the monitoring light source 2, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 is designed for single-wavelength imaging, avoiding chromatic aberration and spectral interference that may occur in the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 when multiple wavelengths are used, ensuring the clarity and accuracy of the image. The single-wavelength design also simplifies the optical design of the laser processing system 20, reduces costs, and improves the stability of the laser processing system 20.
[0111] In some embodiments, the camera 5 can use a CCD camera to obtain precise and clear images.
[0112] In some embodiments, the laser processing system 20 further includes a field lens 6 disposed between the galvanometer 4 and the workpiece 8. Through the arrangement of the field lens 6 and the laser coaxial imaging lens 10, a double-telecentric design is achieved, and the magnification of the monitoring light remains constant regardless of how the workpiece 8 moves within the focal depth range, and the size and shape of the final image do not change, which simplifies the image processing and measurement process and eliminates the need for complex geometric correction. The constant magnification and telecentric optical path design can provide a stable magnification for the image within a certain focal depth range, which is beneficial for operators to observe small details and make precise processing parameter adjustments.
[0113] Moreover, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 can cooperate with the field lens 6 to correct the aberration of the field lens 6 itself, and the cooperation of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 and the field lens 6 optimizes the optical performance of the system, reduces aberration, and maximizes imaging quality, thereby improving the monitoring resolution. The use of high-quality optical elements can ensure clear and sharp images to achieve reliable process monitoring. This can further improve the observation resolution while providing stable and consistent magnification.
[0114] In some embodiments, the laser processing system 20 further comprises a diaphragm 7, which is arranged between the galvanometer 4 and the half-transmission half-reflection mirror 3, and can be an entrance light port of the mechanical housing of the galvanometer 4. The distance D0 between the diaphragm 7 and the half-transmission half-reflection 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, the diaphragm 7 and the half-transmission half-reflection mirror 3 have a small interval, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the laser processing system 20. Moreover, the diaphragm 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 often occurring in the system with a separate light path, ensures uniform illumination and imaging in the entire field of view, is beneficial to obtaining a light spot with a better size, is beneficial to improving the processing effect of the working light on the workpiece 8, and at the same time, is beneficial to improving the quality of the light spot formed by the monitoring light on the camera 5, and is beneficial to improving the monitoring accuracy.
[0115] In some embodiments, the size x of the half-transmission half-reflection mirror 3 on the optical axis satisfies: 20≤x≤40mm, and the interval y between the image side of the half-transmission half-reflection mirror 3 and the object side of the first lens L1 on the optical axis satisfies: 5≤y≤20mm. Thus, the half-transmission half-reflection mirror 3 can have a better interval with the first lens L1 while realizing the transmission of the monitoring light and the reflection of 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 have a better imaging quality. Referring to Figure 3 , Figure 3 which is the spot diagram of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in an embodiment of the present application. It can be seen that most of the diffraction spots are concentrated within the Airy disk, which indicates that the imaging quality of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 is better. Figure 4 which is the light fan diagram of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in an embodiment of the present application. The aberration correction of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 is shown. It can be seen from the diagram that the spherical aberration, coma and astigmatism of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 are effectively corrected. Figure 5 which is the transfer function curve of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in an embodiment of the present application. It can be seen from the diagram that the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 has a higher resolution and clarity, and has a better imaging quality. Figure 6 which is the field curvature and distortion curve of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 in an embodiment of the present application. The field curvature and distortion of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 are shown. It can be seen from the diagram that the ideal image plane and the actual image plane almost completely coincide, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 has a better anti-distortion ability, and thus has a better imaging quality.
[0117] The application can realize coaxial imaging of the working light path and the monitoring light path by the design of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10, the half-transmission half-reflection mirror 3, the galvanometer 4, the field lens 6, the working light source 1 and the monitoring light source 2, is beneficial to real-time monitoring of the working state of the working light source 1 on the workpiece 8, and is beneficial to improving the monitoring accuracy. Moreover, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 is beneficial to reducing aberration, spherical aberration and field curvature, and can correct chromatic aberration, has better imaging quality, thereby being beneficial to further improving the monitoring accuracy, and can clearly and accurately monitor and position the processing position in the laser processing process. Meanwhile, the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 adopts a cemented lens group, and the size of the multiple lenses and the spacing of the adjacent lenses are designed, which is beneficial to reducing the size of the laser coaxial imaging lens 10 and is beneficial to miniaturization design.
