[0002] In the field of mechanical processing, although ultrashort pulse laser processing technology has high precision and low thermal damage, it has problems such as low processing efficiency and poor parallelism of the cutting seam. Water jet-assisted laser technology can make up for these defects. By uniformly conducting laser energy in the water jet, the cutting cone angle can be reduced, the processing accuracy can be improved, the heat-affected zone can be reduced, and cracks and residues can be reduced. However, at present, this process is mainly used for small flat workpieces and is rarely used in the processing of complex free-form surface workpieces.

[0003] The prior art closest to the present invention is application number 201810325364.5, and the name of the invention is a laser water jet composite processing system. The existing water jet assisted laser processing device utilizes the high energy of the laser and the cooling and cleaning effects of the water jet, and has certain advantages in improving processing accuracy and efficiency. Its advantage is that it can effectively integrate the laser and the water jet to achieve a more efficient processing process. However, the water jet nozzle currently used limits the scope of application of this technology.

[0010] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. Compared with fixed nozzles that can only promote heat conduction in a specific direction, jet-assisted conformal nozzles can drive heat to diffuse in multiple directions, effectively avoiding excessive accumulation of heat in a certain local area, thereby preventing the occurrence of thermal stress concentration and improving processing quality. This is of great significance for complex free-form surface processing of heat-sensitive materials such as titanium alloys and aluminum alloys, and can effectively avoid material deformation and performance degradation caused by thermal effects; 2. When faced with materials of different shapes, structures and physical properties, the jet-assisted conformal nozzle can easily adjust the water flow angle to ensure that the processing conditions are adapted to the material properties. For complex free-form surfaces, the water jet is precisely controlled to work with the laser at the optimal angle and parameters at each processing point. From the perspective of mechanical motion control, the accuracy of the processing process is guaranteed, and errors caused by processing angle deviations are effectively avoided. In terms of processing accuracy, the incision taper angle is significantly reduced, the parallelism of the cut is greatly improved, and the dimensional accuracy is accurately guaranteed, fully meeting the stringent precision requirements for complex curved surface parts in high-end manufacturing fields such as aerospace and high-end mold manufacturing; 3. Compared with the current nozzles, the jet-assisted conformal nozzle can spray water from multiple directions to impact the slag produced after processing, effectively avoiding the situation where the slag accumulates in only one direction. And through regulation, it can ensure that the laser irradiation area falls into the overlapping area formed by multiple water jet impacts, thereby achieving complete removal of the slag and ensuring the subsequent process processing of the workpiece; 4. The device is easy to operate and the nozzle has a high degree of automation, which can avoid errors caused by manual adjustment of the nozzle and greatly reduce the cost of use.
