[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein the same components are represented by the same reference numerals.

[0031] It should be noted that the words "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up" and "down" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, and the words "inside" and "outside" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0032] In order to make the contents of the present invention more clearly understood, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0033] Combined with attachment Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides a high-temperature laser marking device for cast aluminum cylinder blocks, comprising a laser marker 15 mounted within a protective housing 4. The laser marker 15 is used to precisely mark the surface of the cast aluminum cylinder block. By focusing and moving the laser beam, the laser marker 15 can permanently mark the workpiece surface according to a preset pattern or text. The laser marker 15 utilizes a high-power 1000W laser source and is equipped with a beam control system, achieving a marking range of 170 x 170 mm to accommodate the marking needs of cast aluminum cylinder blocks of varying sizes. The laser marker 15 offers high precision, clear markings, and high speed. A visual code reader 16 is also housed within the protective housing 4. The protective housing 4 protects the laser marker 15 and its internal components from heat and dust. Typically constructed of high-temperature-resistant materials, the laser marker 15 can withstand temperatures up to 700°C while effectively isolating the components from dust and other contaminants, ensuring the proper operation and long-term stability of the internal components. The visual code reader 16 is used in conjunction with the laser marking machine 15 to read the barcode or other identification on the workpiece to ensure the accuracy of the marking position. The visual code reader 16 uses a high-temperature resistant camera and code reading software. The visual code reader 16 helps to improve the level of automation and reduce human errors. A marking window 13 is provided on one side of the protective shell 4, and a workpiece conveying device is provided on the side corresponding to the marking window 13; the marking window 13 is a passage between the workpiece and the laser marking machine 15, allowing the laser beam to pass through to mark the workpiece, and a conveying base 12 is provided on the workpiece conveying device, and a labeling machine 14 is placed on the conveying base 12, and a marked workpiece is placed on the labeling machine 14. The workpiece conveying device includes a conveying base 12 and a labeling machine 14, which are used to accurately convey the workpiece to the marking position and keep it stable. The marked workpiece corresponds to the laser marking machine 15 and the visual code reader 16 through the marking window 13 respectively.

[0034] A heat sink is provided on the other side of the protective housing 4. The heat sink includes a first industrial air conditioner 6 and a second industrial air conditioner 11. The first industrial air conditioner 6 is mounted on one side of the protective housing 4, and the second industrial air conditioner 11 is mounted on one side of the cabinet 7. Both the first and second industrial air conditioners 6 and 11 are electrically connected to the controller 104. The heat sink, comprising the first and second industrial air conditioners 6 and 11, is used to maintain cooling in high-temperature environments and prevent overheating.

[0035] In order to adapt the equipment to marking workpiece surface temperatures of around 700 degrees, the laser is fully sealed and equipped with industrial air conditioning for heat dissipation.

[0036] The protective shell 4 is placed on a workbench 5 , and the workbench 5 is placed on a cabinet 7 . The cabinet 7 is connected to the protective shell 4 through a connecting pipe 8 , and an electrical control cabinet 1 is placed on the side of the cabinet 7 .

[0037] The workbench 5 and the cabinet 7 both provide stable platforms to support the protective shell and the heat dissipation device, thereby ensuring the stability of the entire device.

[0038] The electrical control cabinet 1 is provided with a controller 104, which is electrically connected to the laser marking machine 15, the visual code reader 16, the workpiece conveying device, the heat dissipation device, and the labeling machine 14. The controller 104 includes a PLC and a laser controller.

[0039] The electrical control cabinet 1 includes a controller 104, which is the control center of the entire device and is responsible for coordinating the work of various components. It usually includes a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) and a laser controller for programming and controlling the laser marking process.

[0040] The workpiece conveying device includes a first workpiece conveying device 2 and a second workpiece conveying device 3, which are arranged in parallel. The marked workpiece includes a first marking workpiece 10 and a second marking workpiece 9. The first marking workpiece 10 is conveyed by the first workpiece conveying device 2, and the second marking workpiece 9 is conveyed by the second workpiece conveying device 3. The first workpiece conveying device 2 and the second workpiece conveying device 3 are both electrically connected to the controller 104.

[0041] A code reader moving mechanism is further provided in the protective shell 4 . The code reader moving mechanism includes an L-shaped baffle 17 , a push rod 18 and a pushing device 19 . The pushing device 19 is electrically connected to the controller 104 .

[0042] The code reader moving mechanism includes an "L"-shaped baffle 17, a push rod 18 and a pushing device 19, which are used to adjust the position of the visual code reader to adapt to workpieces of different sizes.

[0043] The working process of the visual code reader 16 is controlled by the code reader moving mechanism:

[0044] Before the marking process begins, the code reader moving mechanism is in its initial position, allowing the visual code reader 16 to align with the marking window 13 so that the code can be read when the workpiece is transported to the marking position. When the workpiece needs to be marked, the controller 104 activates the code reader moving mechanism according to a preset program or real-time instructions. The driving device 19 (which is a motor or other drive mechanism) receives a signal from the controller 104 and begins to operate. The "L"-shaped baffle 17, as part of the moving mechanism, moves according to the designed path to block the marking window 13. After blocking the marking window 13, the field of view of the visual code reader 16 is limited or completely blocked, preventing external light or interference from affecting the code reading process.

[0045] At this time, if the visual code reader 16 needs to read the code, it will accurately read the barcode or mark on the workpiece without external interference.

[0046] Once the code reading is completed and confirmed to be correct, the laser marking machine 15 starts working and marks the workpiece through the marking window 13. During this process, the code reader moving mechanism maintains its shielding position to ensure that the laser marking process is not affected by external factors.

[0047] After marking is complete, controller 104 issues another command, prompting pusher 19 to return the L-shaped baffle 17 to its initial position, opening marking window 13. Once marking window 13 reopens, visual barcode reader 16 can reread the workpiece to verify the accuracy of the marking. If verification fails, an alarm is triggered. After verification, the workpiece transport mechanism moves the workpiece to the next production stage or is collected. This control method not only improves the accuracy of the marking and reading processes but also enhances the flexibility and automation of the entire system. This design also helps protect visual barcode reader 16 from damage during the marking process.

[0048] On one side of the electrical control cabinet 1, there are arranged, from top to bottom, a display screen 101, control buttons 102, a mouse and keyboard drawer 103, and a controller 104. A user interface is provided for operating and monitoring the laser marking process.

[0050] The rollers 701 and the supporting device 703 are used for moving and positioning the cabinet 7 .

[0051] The fixing device 702 is used to fix the cabinet to prevent it from moving during operation.
