Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of water-guided laser technology, specifically to a uniform water beam generation device for water-guided lasers. Background Technology

[0002] Water-guided laser processing is a green, efficient, and novel laser cold processing technology. Its technical principle is to use a high-pressure micro-water beam as an "optical fiber." Through reasonable optical design, the laser is coupled into the water beam and guided to the surface of the material being processed. The high-pressure water beam plays a crucial role in water-guided laser processing. As the transmission medium for the laser, its quality directly affects the transmission efficiency. A stable and uniform high-pressure water beam can ensure effective transmission of the laser within the water beam and reduce energy loss. Conversely, if the water beam quality is poor, such as the presence of inhomogeneity and turbulence, the laser energy will be scattered and attenuated during transmission within the water beam, thereby reducing the transmission efficiency of the laser.

[0003] Therefore, in order to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of water-guided laser technology, it is necessary to propose technical solutions to eliminate non-uniformity and turbulence in high-pressure water jets. Utility Model Content

[0004] Based on this, and in response to the above problems, this utility model provides a uniform water beam generation device for water-guided lasers, which eliminates non-uniformity and turbulence in water flow and improves the efficiency of laser transmission.

A primary flow guide platform is provided inside the primary flow guide platform, the top surface of which is higher than the bottom surface of the primary homogenizing water cavity, forming a buffer zone for water level rise. Multiple primary flow guide holes are evenly distributed on the top surface of the primary flow guide platform. After the water supply pipe introduces water into the primary homogenizing water cavity, the water surface gradually overflows the primary flow guide platform and flows into the nozzle from the multiple flow guide holes on its top surface.

[0006] In one embodiment, a secondary homogenizing water chamber is provided between the primary guide platform and the nozzle to receive water flow from the primary guide hole. Multiple secondary guide holes are evenly distributed on the bottom surface of the chamber, and the water flow flows into the nozzle after passing through the multiple secondary guide holes.

[0016] This invention provides a uniform water beam generation device for water-guided lasers. Through the design of a primary homogenizing water cavity and a primary guide platform, the water flow is homogenized and stabilized before entering the nozzle. The water flow overflows the primary guide platform and flows out uniformly from multiple primary guide holes on its top surface.
