The first positioning plate 6, the second positioning plate 23 and the laser quenching head body 1 are connected by the mounting grooves 10, the air cushion blocks 11 and the mounting rods 12. The upper limit plate 8 and the lower limit plate 9 are fixed to the outer wall of the laser quenching head body 1, respectively. The movable rod 13 is movably connected to the upper limit plate 8 through the rotating groove, and the threaded rod 15 is movably connected to the lower limit plate 9 through the thread. There are two arc-shaped clamping frames 16, which are used to install the integrator mirror 7 and the calibrator. When the mirror 24 is straight, the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23 are respectively inserted into the two sides of the laser quenching head body 1, so that the mounting rods 12 on the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23 are inserted into the mounting grooves 10 on the outer wall of the laser quenching head body 1, and the ends of the mounting rods 12 are inserted and fit with the air cushion block 11. At this time, the movable rod 13 passes through the upper limit plate 8, and the threaded rod 15 at the bottom end of the movable rod 13 is inserted into the lower limit plate 9. At this time, the movable rod 13 is driven to move on the upper limit plate 8 by the crank 14, so that the movable rod 13 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate on the lower limit plate 9 through the thread. During the rotation, the two arc-shaped clamping frames 16 on the outer wall of the movable rod 13 continuously squeeze the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23, so that after the movable rod 13 and the arc-shaped clamping frame 16 rotate one circle, the most protruding position of the end of the arc-shaped clamping frame 16 rotates to contact the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23.

It is suitable for high-power and large-area workpieces for processing and quenching, and can obtain a high-quality, high-precision hardened layer with a hardness 15%-20% higher than that of conventional quenching.

It is suitable for high-precision parts processing and can be used as the final processing procedure of materials and parts. This is because the laser power density is high and the action time with a certain point on the part is very short, so the thermal deformation zone and the overall change of the part are small. For long workpieces and thin-walled workpieces, this advantage is particularly prominent. Since the light beam irradiates the workpiece, it is non-contact heating and self-cooling quenching, so this technology is a clean heat treatment with good processing flexibility and wide application. The flexible light guide system can be used to arbitrarily guide the laser to the processing part, so that it can easily process difficult-to-process areas such as deep holes, inner holes, blind holes and grooves and local areas with very small spaces. There is no obvious mechanical force and tool loss, low noise, low pollution, pollution-free treatment method, good working conditions, short process cycle, high production efficiency, low cost, the entire process can be controlled by computer, with a high degree of automation, can be included in the production line, and is easy to mass produce. When installing the integrator mirror 7 and the collimator mirror 24, the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23 are respectively inserted into the two sides of the laser quenching head body 1, so that the mounting rods 12 on the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23 are inserted into the mounting groove 10 on the outer wall of the laser quenching head body 1, and the end of the mounting rod 12 is inserted and fits with the air cushion block 11. At this time, the movable rod 13 passes through the upper limit plate 8, and the threaded rod 15 at the bottom end of the movable rod 13 is inserted into the lower limit plate 9. When the movable rod 13 is moved on the upper limit plate 8 by the crank handle 14, the movable rod 13 drives the threaded rod 15 to rotate on the lower limit plate 9 through the thread, and when rotating, the two arc-shaped clamping frames 16 on the outer wall of the movable rod 13 continuously squeeze the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23, so that after the movable rod 13 and the arc-shaped clamping frame 16 rotate one circle, the most protruding position of the end of the arc-shaped clamping frame 16 rotates to contact the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23, so that under the support of the movable rod 13, the arc-shaped clamping frame 16 clamps the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23 with force, so that the first positioning plate 6 and the second positioning plate 23 are engaged and fixed with the laser quenching head body 1, thereby fixing the integrator mirror 7 and the collimator mirror 24 inside the laser quenching head body 1.
