[0027] As Figure 3-7 shown: A compact rotating shaft assembly for connecting a laser cutting head, the compact rotating shaft assembly includes a rotating shaft C-axis and a swinging shaft B-axis, wherein the rotating shaft C-axis includes a first DD motor 1 and a rotating drag chain 13 wound around the outside of the first DD motor 1, the swinging shaft B-axis includes a second DD motor 2 disposed perpendicular to the rotating shaft C-axis, both the first DD motor 1 and the second DD motor 2 can simultaneously serve as a driving device and a light guiding device, and the rotating drag chain 13 is used to accommodate water, electricity, and gas pipelines.

[0028] In terms of the installation structure, the first DD motor 1 in the rotating shaft C-axis and the second DD motor 2 in the swinging shaft B-axis are connected by an L-shaped plate 4.

At this time, the first axial through hole 14 on the first DD motor 1 is coaxially arranged with the first through hole 411 on the horizontal section 41 of the L-shaped plate 4, and the second axial through hole 23 on the second DD motor 2 is coaxially arranged with the second through hole 422 on the vertical section 42 of the L-shaped plate 4.

[0029] In terms of the installation of the reflecting mirror, a first mirror seat 5 for installing a laser reflecting mirror is arranged inside the fold angle of the L-shaped plate 4. The input end of the first mirror seat 5 is docked with the first through hole 411 on the horizontal section 41 of the L-shaped plate 4, and the output end of the first mirror seat 5 is docked with the second through hole 422 on the vertical section 42 of the L-shaped plate 4. A second mirror seat 6 for installing a laser reflecting mirror is arranged between the second DD motor 2 and the laser cutting head 3. The input end of the second mirror seat 6 is fixedly connected to the second DD motor rotating part 22 of the second DD motor 2, and the output end of the second mirror seat 6 is fixedly connected to the laser cutting head 3.

[0030] The following further elaborates on the compact rotating shaft assembly for connecting a laser cutting head provided by the present application through specific embodiments.

[0031] As Figure 3-7 shown, a compact rotating shaft assembly for connecting a laser cutting head, the compact rotating shaft assembly includes a rotating shaft C-axis and a swinging shaft B-axis. The rotating shaft C-axis includes a first DD motor 1 and a rotating drag chain 13 wound around it. The swinging shaft B-axis includes a second DD motor 2 perpendicular to the rotating shaft C-axis. The rotating drag chain 13 is used to accommodate water, electricity, and gas pipelines. The laser cutting head 3 is connected to the output end of the swinging shaft B-axis. The control system drives the laser cutting head 3 to rotate and / or swing by controlling the linkage of the rotating shaft C-axis and the swinging shaft B-axis. Since there is an axial through hole in the DD motor that can be used as a laser path, the DD motor is equivalent to a driving device with a built-in light guide tube. Thus, the driving device, the light guide tube, and the rotating drag chain are integrated into the same height space through the DD motor, reducing the overall height of the rotating shaft assembly by about 50% and making the structure more compact.

[0032] Furthermore, the first DD motor 1 in the rotation axis C-axis and the second DD motor 2 in the swing axis B-axis are connected by an L-shaped plate 4. The first DD motor fixing part 11 is connected to the machine tool body (not shown), the first DD motor rotating part 12 is fixedly connected to the horizontal section 41 of the L-shaped plate, and the first through hole 411 on the horizontal section 41 of the L-shaped plate is correspondingly arranged with the first DD motor rotating part 12; the second DD motor fixing part 21 in the swing axis B-axis is fixedly connected to the vertical section 42 of the L-shaped plate, and the second through hole 422 on the vertical section 42 of the L-shaped plate is correspondingly arranged with the second DD motor fixing part 21.

[0033] Furthermore, a first mirror seat 5 for installing a laser reflector is arranged inside the fold angle of the L-shaped plate 4. The input end of the first mirror seat 5 is docked with the first through hole 411 on the horizontal section 41 of the L-shaped plate, and the output end of the first mirror seat 5 is docked with the second through hole 422 on the vertical section 42 of the L-shaped plate; a second mirror seat 6 for installing a laser reflector is arranged between the second DD motor 2 and the laser cutting head 3. The input end of the second mirror seat 6 is fixedly connected to the second DD motor rotating part 22, and the output end of the second mirror seat 6 is fixedly connected to the laser cutting head 3.

[0034] When the compact rotation axis assembly is in use, the laser beam conducted through the axial through hole 14 of the first DD motor enters the first mirror seat 5 through the first through hole 411 on the L-shaped plate 4. After being reflected by the laser reflector on the first mirror seat 5, it enters the axial through hole 23 of the second DD motor through the second through hole 422 on the L-shaped plate 4, and then enters the second mirror seat 6. After being reflected by the laser reflector on the second mirror seat 6, it enters the laser cutting head 3, thereby completing the laser conduction.

[0035] The utility model integrates the driving device, the light guide cylinder and the rotating drag chain into the same height space through the DD motor, greatly reducing the overall height of the rotation axis assembly, thereby optimizing the rotation axis assembly used for connecting the laser cutting head in the three-dimensional laser processing equipment. The optimized rotation axis assembly has a simple and compact structure, enabling the rotation axis assembly to be applied in a working scenario with limited space and being suitable for popularization and use.
