Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cutting heads, and more specifically to a dual gas path cooling system of a laser cutting head. Background Art

[0002] When laser cutting a workpiece, the nozzle acts as a channel for the high-energy light beam. During the cutting process, it is close to the cutting object and is exposed to a greater degree of heat radiation. At the same time, the continuous increase in the nozzle temperature will also cause the nozzle itself and the connecting parts to deform and damage.

[0003] Existing technologies such as Chinese patent: CN112264728B disclose a new cooling ceramic body used on a laser cutting head. First air holes are opened at corresponding positions on the ceramic body and the conductive part. The outlet position of the second air hole of the conductive part is connected to the circular groove at the bottom of the conductive part. The first air hole and the second air hole are connected to form a first air path. The position of the cooling ceramic body on the cutting head is located at the bottom of the capacitor head. The capacitor head is provided with a second air path connected to the first air hole. The cooling gas flows into the second air path at the corresponding position after passing through the second air path of the capacitor head. A nozzle is connected below the ceramic body. The gas flows in the circular groove and can be discharged from the gap around the conductive part and the nozzle, thereby ensuring uniform and efficient cooling of the nozzle.

[0004] However, although this patent can efficiently cool the nozzle through the air path, when the heat affected zone becomes larger, it will also affect the ceramic ring. In view of this, the utility model proposes a dual air path cooling system for a laser cutting head that can achieve dual cooling of the nozzle and the ceramic ring. Utility Model Content
