[0002] Laser cutting technology is widely used in the processing of sheet metal, which can greatly reduce processing time and reduce processing costs. In addition, due to the high precision of laser cutting technology and the smooth and burr-free cutting surface, it has become one of the main sheet metal cutting methods and is being used more and more widely.

[0003] When a laser cutting machine is cutting a plate, the accurate vertical distance between the laser cutting head and the plate is a prerequisite for precision processing. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously adjust the vertical distance between the laser cutting head and the plate, that is, to continuously adjust the position of the focus.

[0004] However, during the use of the laser cutting machine, there are no protective measures around the cutting head of the laser cutting machine. When the workpiece to be processed is placed, the cutting head is easily bumped and damaged, affecting the normal use of the laser cutting machine. In addition, the focus position of the laser cutting machine is usually manually adjusted by the focus of the laser cutting head height position. The manual adjustment method of the laser cutting head height position is relatively cumbersome, resulting in low focusing efficiency of the laser cutting machine. Utility Model Content
