[0031] A CO2 laser is a gas laser that uses the vibration-later energy level transition of CO2 to generate laser light. Existing high-power CO2 lasers are usually composed of multiple CO2 laser tubes arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, and then the laser excited by a single CO2 laser tube is superimposed by a reflector to form a high-power laser. The water-cooling tube in the CO2 laser tube used in existing high-power CO2 lasers is usually a straight tube with a uniform diameter and set on the outer periphery of the discharge tube, so that the cold water stays for a short time on the outer periphery of the light-emitting end of the discharge tube where more heat is generated, which has a poor cooling effect.

[0032] In order to solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present invention provide a carbon dioxide laser tube and a three-fold and four-fold carbon dioxide laser. Figures 1 to 9 It is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the utility model.

[0033] First, as Figures 1 to 4As shown, the embodiment of the utility model provides a carbon dioxide laser tube 100 comprising: a gas storage tube 101, a water cooling tube 102, and a discharge tube 103 which are sequentially sleeved from the outside to the inside, and correspondingly form a gas storage cavity 101a, a water cooling cavity 102a, and a discharge cavity 103a from the outside in sequence; the inner cavity of the discharge tube 103 is connected with one end of a spiral gas return tube 104, and the other end of the spiral gas return tube 104 is led out from the discharge tube 103 and passes through the tube wall of the water cooling tube 102, and then is wound around the outer periphery of the water cooling tube 102 and is connected with the gas storage cavity 101a of the gas storage tube 101; wherein the water cooling tube 102 has a ring The annular expansion section 1021, the water inlet pipe 1022 and the water outlet pipe 1023 are provided. The outer periphery of the annular expansion section 1021 is provided with at least one connecting column 1024 connected to the inner wall of the gas storage pipe 101; one end of the water inlet pipe 1022 is provided at the annular expansion section 1021 and is connected to the water cooling chamber 102a, and the other end is provided through the pipe wall of the gas storage pipe 101; one end of the water outlet pipe 1023 is provided at the water cooling pipe 102 away from the annular expansion section 1021, and is connected to the water cooling chamber 102a, and the other end of the water outlet pipe 1023 is provided through the pipe wall of the gas storage pipe 101. It should be noted that other structures of the carbon dioxide laser tube 100, such as the arrangement of electrodes, etc., are prior art, and can be specifically arranged with reference to the prior art. The gas storage tube 101, water cooling tube 102, and discharge tube 103 can be sheathed by end sintering, and the annular expansion section 1021 can be blown after local heating of the water cooling tube 102 through a mold; the water inlet pipe 1022 and the water outlet pipe 1023 are both sealed at the tube wall where they pass through the gas storage tube 101, and can be sealed by glass sintering. The water cooling tube 102 in the carbon dioxide laser tube 100 provided by the utility model, due to the setting of the annular expansion section 1021, the cold water entering the water inlet pipe 1022 can flow to the water outlet end of the water cooling tube 102 after a certain retention time in the larger annular expansion section 1021, so that the light cooling effect is better.

[0034] In order to ensure the stability of the annular expansion section 1021, in the embodiment of the utility model, Figure 2 As shown, at least one of the connecting columns 1024 is provided in two, and the two connecting columns 1024 and the corresponding water inlet pipe 1022 are evenly distributed around the outer periphery of a radial cross section of the corresponding annular expansion section 1021. The above arrangement of the connecting columns 1024 and the water inlet pipe 1022 can evenly withstand the impact force of the cold water on the annular expansion section 1021 during use at the outer periphery of the annular expansion section 1021, so that the vibration of the water cooling pipe 102 is small during use.

[0035] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, at least one of the connecting columns 1024 is cylindrical in shape. The connecting column 1024 is a cylindrical connecting column 1024, which has stronger compressive stability and bending resistance than connecting columns 1024 of other shapes, such as square bar-shaped connecting columns 1024. It can better disperse the pressure and maintain the stability of the stable annular expansion section 1021.

[0036] In the embodiment of the utility model, the annular expansion section 1021 is cylindrical. The annular expansion section 1021 is cylindrical, which is convenient for repeated manufacturing. The water cooling tube 102 can be blown after local heating through a mold.

[0037] In the embodiment of the utility model, the diameter of the annular expansion section 1021 is 1.5-3 times the diameter of other parts of the water cooling pipe 102. The diameter of the annular expansion section 1021 is set as above, which ensures that the cold water entering the water inlet pipe 1022 can stay in the annular expansion section 1021 for a period of time during use, but will not stay for too long, and can flow to other parts of the water cooling pipe 102 in time after the cold water absorbs heat and is discharged from the water outlet pipe 1023.

[0038] The utility model also proposes a three-fold carbon dioxide laser 200a (such as Figure 3 ), including three carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 as described above, the three carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are stacked in a herringbone shape in the radial direction, the optical paths of the three carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are connected in series through a three-fold reflector assembly 200a1, and a light output mirror is provided at the light output end of the optical path; the respective water inlet pipes 1022 and water outlet pipes 1023 of the three carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are connected in series or in parallel to form a cooling water path. It should be noted that the three-fold reflector assembly 200a1 may include four 45-degree reflectors and one 90-degree reflector (such as Figure 3 ) so that the lasers of the three carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 stacked in a triangular shape can be emitted from the light-emitting end. The respective water inlet pipes 1022 and water outlet pipes 1023 of the three carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 can be connected in series or in parallel through a rubber hose (not shown), and the external water cooler of the cooling water circuit is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] Since the present tri-fold carbon dioxide laser 200a adopts all the technical solutions of the carbon dioxide laser tube 100 in all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments. In addition, the tri-fold carbon dioxide laser 200a can be stacked in a herringbone shape to make the base size of the tri-fold carbon dioxide laser 200a consistent with that of the two-fold carbon dioxide laser, which is convenient for power upgrade of laser processing equipment using the two-fold carbon dioxide laser.

[0040] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, the annular expansion sections 1021 corresponding to the three carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are all arranged near the light output end of the optical path. The above arrangement of the annular expansion sections 1021 enables the annular expansion sections 1021 on the light output side to form a cooling force to cool the light output end with more heat.

[0041] The utility model also proposes a four-fold carbon dioxide laser 200b (such as Figure 4 ), including four carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 as described above, three of the carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are stacked in a field shape in the radial direction, the optical paths of the four carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are connected in series through a four-fold reflector assembly 200b1, and a light-emitting mirror is provided at the light-emitting end of the optical path, and the respective water inlet pipes 1022 and water outlet pipes 1023 of the four carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are connected in series or in parallel to form a cooling water path. It should be noted that the four-fold reflector assembly 200b1 may include six 45-degree reflectors and one 90-degree reflector (such as Figure 4 ) so that the lasers of the four carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 stacked in a field shape can be emitted from the light-emitting end. The respective water inlet pipes 1022 and water outlet pipes 1023 of the four carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 can be connected in series or in parallel through a rubber hose (not shown), and the external water cooler of the cooling water circuit is a prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] Since the four-fold carbon dioxide laser 200b adopts all the technical solutions of the carbon dioxide laser tube 100 in all the above-mentioned embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the above-mentioned embodiments. In addition, the stacking of the four-fold carbon dioxide laser 200b in a field shape can make the base size of the four-fold carbon dioxide laser 200b consistent with the base size of the two-fold carbon dioxide laser, which is convenient for power upgrade of laser processing equipment using the two-fold carbon dioxide laser.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiment of the utility model, the annular expansion sections 1021 corresponding to the four carbon dioxide laser tubes 100 are all arranged near the light output end of the optical path. The above arrangement of the annular expansion sections 1021 enables the annular expansion sections 1021 on the light output side to form a cooling force to cool the light output end with more heat.

An air inlet 131 is provided; the heat sink 2 includes an annular cover body 21 and a dust cover 22 formed by extending backward from the outer edge of the annular cover body 21, the annular cover body 21 is sealed and connected to the rear end of the light output mirror seat 1, and the middle part of the annular cover body 21 has a clearance hole 211 coaxially arranged with the light output hole 12; the annular cover body 21 is provided with at least one air outlet hole 212 at a position corresponding to the annular groove 13; the inner end of the light output tube 3 is detachable and coaxially installed on the inner edge of the clearance hole 211. The heat dissipation component is provided with a light output mirror seat 1 and a heat sink 2, and an annular groove 13 is provided on the light output mirror seat 1, and an air inlet hole 131 is provided on the outer wall of the annular groove 13, which together with the annular cover body 21 of the heat sink 2 constitute a ventilation cavity, and the air inlet hole 131 passes cold air into the ventilation cavity and dissipates hot air through the air outlet hole 212 on the annular cover body 21, so as to facilitate the heat dissipation of the lens mounting groove 11 adjacent to the annular groove 13; a clearance hole 211 is provided in the middle part of the annular cover body 21, and the inner end of the light output tube 3 is detachable and coaxially installed on the inner edge of the clearance hole 211, which further increases the heat dissipation structure and improves the heat dissipation efficiency.

[0045] Specifically, there are three air outlet holes 212, and the three air outlet holes 212 are evenly distributed around the central axis of the annular groove 13. The even distribution of the air outlet holes 212 ensures that the hot air of the heat dissipation component can be discharged more evenly, and ensures the uniformity of heat dissipation in various parts of the heat dissipation component.

[0046] Specifically, the outer end of the light emitting tube 3 is arranged to extend beyond the outer edge of the dust cover 22.
