[0046] The following will be combined with the implementation of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the implementation of the utility model. Obviously, the described implementation is only a part of the implementation of the utility model, not all of the implementations. Based on the implementation of the utility model, all other implementations obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0047] like Figure 1-8 As shown, a laser processing head for removing surface attachments of the utility model comprises a housing 1, a galvanometer mechanism 2, a bracket 3 and a nozzle member 4.

[0048] The shell 1 is vacuum inside, and is provided with an inlet 100 and an outlet 110; the galvanometer mechanism 2 is arranged in the shell 1, and is used for reflecting the laser incident from the inlet 100 to the outlet 110 for outward emission; the bracket 3 is arranged on one side of the shell 1, and is provided with a first channel 120 in the shell 1, and is provided with a second channel 300 in the bracket 3, and the second channel 300 is connected with the first channel 120; the nozzle member 4 is arranged on the bracket 3, and is provided with an air outlet 400, and the second channel 300 is connected with the air outlet 400.

[0049] It should be noted that the external laser is incident on the shell 1 through the incident port 100, and the galvanometer mechanism 2 inside the shell 1 can change the incident angle of the laser to make it perpendicular to the incident port 100, and emit it outward from the outlet 110, so as to clean the stains on the workpiece. At the same time, the external gas supply equipment transports gas into the first channel 120, and the gas is blown out from the outlet 400 through the first channel 120 and the second channel 300, so that an air curtain is formed on the outlet side, so that the pollutants generated when the workpiece on the outlet side is cleaned can be blocked by the air curtain, so as to avoid the pollutants from contaminating the optical device on the outlet side, so as to ensure the normal use of the laser processing head for removing surface attachments.

[0050] The incident port 100 in this embodiment is communicated with the interior of the housing 1 and is vertically disposed with respect to the incident port 110 .

[0051] It should be noted that the incident port 100 is connected to the interior of the shell 1 and is arranged vertically with the exit port 110, which ensures that the laser beam can enter vertically from the incident port 100, be reflected by the galvanometer mechanism 2, and finally be emitted from the exit port 110 in a vertical direction, thereby optimizing the transmission path of the laser beam and improving the efficiency and accuracy of laser cleaning.

[0052] The galvanometer mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes two reflection components 21, wherein two mounting ports 130 are opened on the shell 1, wherein one mounting port 130 is arranged relative to the position of the incident port 100; the other mounting port 130 is arranged relative to the position of the outlet port 110; the two reflection components 21 are respectively arranged in the corresponding mounting ports 130, and the reflection components 21 have a circumferentially rotatable reflection part, and the external laser is incident on the shell 1 from the incident port 100, and the laser is reflected to the outlet port 110 by the reflection part and emitted outward.

[0053] It should be noted that after the laser enters from the incident port 100, it is reflected twice by the reflecting parts of the two reflecting components 21, and finally emitted from the exit port 110 in a vertical direction. The reflecting part should be able to rotate circumferentially to adjust the scanning range and angle of the laser beam to improve the efficiency of laser cleaning.

[0054] The two reflection components 21 in this embodiment both include a driving member 211, a reflector 212 and a cover 213, wherein the driving member 211 is fixed in the corresponding mounting port 130, and the output end of the driving member 211 passes through the corresponding mounting port 130 and extends into the shell 1; the reflector 212 is fixed on the output end of the driving member 211, and the position of the reflector 212 is set corresponding to the positions of the incident port 100 and the exit port 110; the cover 213 is fixed on the shell 1, corresponds to the position of the mounting port 120, and is located on the outside of the driving member 211; the driving member 211 drives the reflector 212 to rotate to adjust the angle of laser reflection.

[0055] It should be noted that the driving member 211 is fixed in the mounting port 130, and its output end extends into the shell 1, and is used to drive the rotation of the reflector 212, control the angle of the reflector 212, and thus adjust the reflection direction of the laser, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of laser cleaning. The reflector 212 is fixed on the output end of the driving member 211, and its position corresponds to the incident port 100 and the exit port 110. After the laser is incident from the incident port 100, it is first reflected by the first reflector 212, and then reflected by the second reflector 212, and finally emitted from the exit port 110; the cover body 213 is provided to protect the driving member 211 and prevent dust or other impurities from entering.

[0056] Specifically, the driving member 211 in this embodiment is a motor.

[0057] The present embodiment further includes a light-exit protection component 5 , which is disposed in the emission port 110 . The light-exit protection component 5 is used to protect the galvanometer mechanism 2 in the housing 1 .

[0058] In this embodiment, the light output protection component 5 includes a lens barrel 51, a protective mirror 52, a sealing ring 53 and a pressing ring 54, wherein the lens barrel 51 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the emission port 110; the protective mirror 52 is arranged in the lens barrel 51; the sealing ring 53 is arranged on the side of the protective mirror 52 away from the shell 1, and the outer wall of the sealing ring 53 abuts against the inner wall of the lens barrel 51; the pressing ring 54 is clamped at the port on the side of the lens barrel 51 away from the shell 1, and the side of the pressing ring 54 close to the shell 1 abuts against the surface of the sealing ring 53.

[0059] It should be noted that the light-exit protection assembly 5 can effectively protect the galvanometer mechanism 2 from being polluted or damaged from the emission port 110. The lens barrel 51 is connected to the inner side of the emission port 110 by threads to ensure a tight connection with the housing 1 to prevent external pollutants from entering through the gap. The protective mirror 52 is arranged in the lens barrel 51 to directly face the laser reflected from the galvanometer mechanism 2. Its function is to prevent the laser from directly irradiating the dust or other pollutants in the external environment and prevent these pollutants from entering the interior of the housing 1. The sealing ring 53 is arranged on the side of the protective mirror 52 away from the housing 1 and abuts against the inner side wall of the lens barrel 51; it plays a sealing role to prevent pollutants from entering through the gap between the lens barrel 51 and the protective mirror 52. The pressing ring 54 is clamped at the port on the side of the lens barrel 51 away from the housing 1 and abuts against the surface of the sealing ring 53; the pressing ring 54 ensures that a tight seal is formed between the sealing ring 53 and the lens barrel 51 and the protective mirror 52 by applying a certain pressure.

[0060] It is understandable that the protective lens 52 may be damaged or contaminated due to long-term use. The protective lens 52 can be fixed to the lens barrel 51 by means of snap-fit ​​or threaded connection, so that the user can replace it conveniently.

[0061] In this embodiment, the bracket 3 is vertically arranged to the emission port 110 , and the nozzle member 4 is arranged on a side of the light emission protection component 5 away from the housing 1 .

[0062] The nozzle member 4 in this embodiment includes a box body 41 and a cover body 42, wherein the box body 41 is fixed to the side of the bracket 3 close to the light output protection component 5 by bolts, a circular hole 410 is opened in the middle of the box body 41, and the circular hole 410 is connected to the second channel 300; the cover body 42 is fixed to the side of the box body 41 away from the bracket 3 by bolts; the air outlet 400 is opened on the side of the box body 41 away from the light output protection component 5, and is connected to the circular hole 410.

[0063] It should be noted that the end of the air outlet 400 is in a trapezoidal shape, and the gas passing through the air outlet 400 can increase the protection area of ​​the air curtain, thereby improving the protection effect of the lens on the light-emitting side.

[0064] This embodiment further includes a connecting pipe head 6 , one end of which penetrates through and extends into the first channel 120 , and the other end of which is connected to a gas supply end of an external gas supply device.

[0065] Working principle:

[0066] After the laser is incident from the incident port 100, it is first reflected by the first reflector 212, and then reflected by the second reflector 212, and is incident from the incident port 110 into the light output protection assembly 5, and finally passes through the protection mirror 52 and is incident onto the surface of the workpiece for laser cleaning operation. At the same time, an external gas supply device transports gas into the first channel 120, and the gas is blown out from the gas outlet 400 through the first channel 120 and the second channel 300, so that an air curtain is formed on the light output side, so that pollutants generated when the workpiece on the incident port side is cleaned can be blocked by the air curtain.

[0067] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
