Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cutting machines, in particular to a cooling device for a laser cutting head. Background Art

[0002] Laser cutting refers to the process of emitting a high-power density laser beam from a laser cutting machine to illuminate the material being cut, so that the material is quickly heated to the vaporization temperature, evaporates to form holes, and as the beam moves across the material, the holes continuously form narrow slits, thereby completing the cutting of the material. The laser cutting head is installed on the laser cutting machine and is its important component.

[0003] The heat of the laser cutting head is extremely high during operation. At present, water cooling is generally used to cool the laser cutting head. During water cooling, the laser cutting head is connected to an external water circulation mechanism through a single water inlet and outlet, and the heat on the laser cutting head is taken away by the water circulation flow. Adding an external water circulation mechanism increases the manufacturing cost on the one hand, and increases the floor space on the other hand. Therefore, a cooling device is needed that can be connected to an external water circulation mechanism and can use its own structure to cool the laser cutting head in the absence of an external water circulation mechanism. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems in the above-mentioned background technology and to provide a cooling device which can be connected to an external water circulation mechanism and can use its own structure to cool a laser cutting head in the absence of an external water circulation mechanism.

[0005] The utility model achieves the above-mentioned purpose through the following technical scheme: a cooling device for a laser cutting head is provided, comprising a cutting head, a laser head is arranged at one end of the cutting head, a cooling component is arranged on the laser head, the cooling component comprises a cold water box, a plurality of cooling plates are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the cold water box, a cylindrical cooling jacket is arranged in the middle position of the cold water box, a spiral water path is arranged in the cooling jacket, a water inlet and a water outlet connected with the water path are respectively arranged on the outer wall of the cooling jacket, and a detachable water joint is arranged on the water inlet and the water outlet.

[0006] Furthermore, four refrigeration fins are evenly and fixedly mounted on the inner surfaces of the four vertical side walls of the cold water box.

[0007] Furthermore, the cooling jacket is fixedly installed at the middle position of the cold water box, a thread is arranged on the top of the cooling jacket, and the cooling jacket is screwed to the bottom of the cutting machine head through the thread.

[0009] Furthermore, the water joint is not installed on the water inlet and the water outlet.

[0010] Furthermore, a water inlet is provided at the top of the cold water box, and a sealing plug is installed on the water inlet.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0012] 1. The utility model provides two water cooling methods to cool the laser head. On the one hand, a water joint is installed on the cooling jacket to connect the water joint with an external water circulation mechanism, so that the external water is circulated through the water path to achieve the effect of cooling the laser head; on the other hand, without connecting to the external water circulation mechanism, water is injected into the cold water box, and then the water therein is cooled by using multiple cooling plates arranged in the cold water box. Subsequently, the cooled water enters the water path arranged in the cooling jacket through two water inlets on the cooling jacket to cool the laser head.

[0027] When in use, the external water circulation mechanism is connected to the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 53, and the external cooling water circulates in the cooling jacket 5 through the water path 51, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the laser head.

[0028] Example 2

[0029] Combination Figure 4-Figure 7As shown, a cooling device for a laser cutting head comprises a cutting head 1, a laser head 2 is arranged at one end of the cutting head 1, a cooling assembly is sleeved on the laser head 2, the cooling assembly comprises a cold water box 3, a plurality of cooling fins 4 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the cold water box 3, a cylindrical cooling jacket 5 is arranged in the middle of the cold water box 3, a spiral water channel 51 is arranged in the cooling jacket 5, a water inlet 52 and a water outlet 53 connected with the water channel 51 are respectively arranged on the outer wall of the cooling jacket 5, and a detachable water joint 6 is installed on the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 53; wherein, four cooling fins 4 are fixedly mounted on the inner surfaces of the four vertical side walls of the cold water box 3 on average; the water joint 6 is not installed on the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 53, a water injection port 31 is arranged on the top of the cold water box 3, and a sealing plug 7 is installed on the water injection port 31;

[0030] When in use, different from the scheme in Example 1, without connecting to an external water circulation mechanism, water is injected into the cold water box 3 through the water inlet 31, and water enters the water path 51 through the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 53. When the water in the cold water box 3 is full, it is sealed with a sealing plug 7, and then the water in the cold water box 3 is cooled by using multiple cooling plates 4. As the temperature in the cold water box 3 decreases, the water temperature in the water path 51 also decreases, thereby achieving the effect of cooling the laser head.

[0031] Embodiment 3:

[0032] Combination Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a cooling device for a laser cutting head comprises a cutting head 1, a laser head 2 is arranged at one end of the cutting head 1, a cooling assembly is arranged on the laser head 2, the cooling assembly comprises a cold water box 3, a plurality of cooling fins 4 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the cold water box 3, a cylindrical cooling jacket 5 is arranged in the middle of the cold water box 3, a spiral water channel 51 is arranged in the cooling jacket 5, a water inlet 52 and a water outlet 53 connected with the water channel 51 are arranged on the outer wall of the cooling jacket 5, and a detachable water connection is arranged on the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 53 Head 6; wherein, four cooling fins 4 are evenly fixedly installed on the inner surfaces of the four vertical side walls of the cold water box 3; the cooling jacket 5 is fixedly installed in the middle position of the cold water box 3, and a thread is set on the top of the cooling jacket 5, and the cooling jacket 5 is screwed to the bottom of the cutting machine head 1 through the thread; two water joints 6 respectively penetrate the cold water box 3 and are respectively connected to the water inlet 52 and the water outlet 53 through the thread; the two water joints 6 are respectively connected to the external water circulation mechanism; a water injection port 31 is opened on the top of the cold water box 3, and a sealing plug 7 is installed on the water injection port 31;

When the water in the cold water box 3 is full, it is sealed with a sealing plug 7, and then the water in the cold water box 3 is cooled by using multiple refrigeration plates 4. As the temperature in the cold water box 3 decreases, on the one hand, the water entering the cold water box 3 can be protected from cold temperature when the external water circulation mechanism transports cold water. On the other hand, when the temperature of the cold water transported by the external water circulation mechanism is higher than the water temperature in the cold water box 3, the cold water in the cold water box 3 can level the water temperature in the water path 51 in the cooling jacket 5.

When the current passes through the cooling sheet, one side absorbs heat to cool it, while the other side releases heat to heat it up. By controlling the direction and size of the current, the cooling effect of the cooling sheet can be adjusted. Semiconductor cooling sheets have the advantages of fast response, small size, no vibration, no noise, etc., and are therefore widely used in the cooling needs of electronic equipment, medical equipment, lasers, optoelectronic devices and other fields.
