[0027] As Figures 1 to 3 The utility model discloses a laser cutting head 100, including first rotation subassembly 1, optical path reflection device 3 and cutting assembly 2, first rotation subassembly 1 with cutting assembly 2 is connected, and drives cutting assembly 2 rotates around first axis, be equipped with the entrance 11 of receiving laser emission laser on first rotation subassembly 1, the first light channel 12 that forms with the entrance 11 intercommunication is formed in first rotation subassembly 1, the second light channel 21 that forms is in cutting assembly 2, first light channel 12 with second light channel 21 intercommunication, optical path reflection device 3 includes two first optical path reflection subassembly 31, one of first optical path reflection subassembly 31 is located on first rotation subassembly 1, and is located the intercommunication position of first light channel 12 with entrance 11, another first optical path reflection subassembly 31 is located on cutting assembly 2, and is located second light channel 21 near one end of first light channel 12, first optical path reflection subassembly 31 includes mirror 311 and the angle adjusting mechanism 312 of adjustable mirror 311 deflection angle.

[0028] In the utility model, through first rotation subassembly 1 drive cutting assembly 2 rotates around first axis, realized the rotation control of cutting assembly 2, and the laser that laser emits can successively pass through entrance 11, first light channel 12 and second light channel 21 under the reflection of optical path reflection device 3, and output from cutting assembly 2, when cutting assembly 2 is controlled to rotate, the optical path of laser needs to keep in central part, through angle adjusting mechanism 312 can real -time adjustment mirror 311 deflection angle, by this change the reflection optical path of laser, make the optical path keep in central part all the time, guarantee the effect of laser cutting.

[0029] The specific structure of angle adjusting mechanism 312 is not limited, as long as angle adjusting mechanism 312 can adjust the deflection angle of mirror 311, for example, in some embodiments, as Figure 4As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 312 comprises a mirror frame 3121 and three adjusting screws 3122, the mirror frame 3121 is arranged on the first rotary assembly 1 or the cutting assembly 2, one corner of the mirror 311 is movably connected to the mirror frame 3121, and the three adjusting screws 3122 are arranged corresponding to the other three corners of the mirror 311. The mirror frame 3121 and the mirror 311, each of the adjusting screws 3122 is connected to one of the mirror frame 3121 and the mirror 311, and the other is connected through threads. In this way, by turning the adjusting screws 3122, the distance between the corresponding corner of the mirror 311 and the mirror frame 3121 can be adjusted, and the four-way adjustment of the mirror 311 can be realized by the cooperation of the three adjusting screws 3122.

[0030] Further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 4 As shown, the angle adjustment mechanism 312 further comprises a plurality of tension springs 3123, each of the tension springs 3123 is arranged along the circumference of the mirror 311, one end is connected to the mirror 311, and the other end is connected to the mirror frame 3121.

In this way, by pulling the mirror 311 with the plurality of tension springs 3123, the mirror 311 is prevented from being separated from the mirror frame 3121 during adjustment of the deflection angle, then by turning each of the adjusting screws 3122 to make the abutting end abut against the mirror 311, and continuing to turn the adjusting screw 3122 to make the abutting end move relative to the mirror frame 3121, the four-way adjustment of the mirror 311 can be realized.

[0031] In order to increase the working range of the cutting assembly 2, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 As shown, the laser cutting head 100 further comprises a second rotary assembly 4, which is connected to the first rotary assembly 1 and drives the first rotary assembly 1 to rotate around a second axis, the second axis is perpendicular to the first axis, and a third light channel 41 is formed in the second rotary assembly 4, which communicates with the first light channel 12 through the incident port 11. By driving the first rotary assembly to rotate around the second axis by the second rotary assembly, and driving the cutting assembly to rotate around the first axis by the first rotary assembly, the control of the central rotation and the normal rotation of the cutting assembly can be realized, and the working range of the cutting assembly 2 is increased to adapt to different sizes of parts to be cut.

[0032] Specifically, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3As shown, the second rotary assembly 4 comprises a second housing 42, a second hollow rotating platform 43, and a rotating shaft 44 arranged in the second housing 42 and connected with one end of the second hollow rotating platform 43, and the other end of the second hollow rotating platform 43 is connected with the first rotary assembly 1, and the rotating shaft 44 can drive the second hollow rotating platform 43 to rotate around the second axis, so as to drive the first rotary assembly 1 to rotate synchronously around the second axis.

[0033] Similarly, as shown in the figure, the first rotary assembly 1 comprises a first housing 13, a first hollow rotating platform 14, and a motor 15 arranged at one end of the first housing 13, and the other end of the first hollow rotating platform 14 is connected with the cutting assembly 2 and the shaft of the motor 15, and the motor 15 can drive the first hollow rotating platform 14 to rotate around the first axis, so as to drive the cutting assembly 2 to rotate synchronously around the first axis. Figure 3

[0034] Since the motor 15 will rotate with the first housing 13 under the drive of the rotating shaft 44, in order to avoid the cable of the motor 15 being scratched by the to-be-cut component during the movement and being damaged, in some embodiments, as shown in the figure, a flexible bellows 7 is arranged outside the cable of the motor 15, one end of the flexible bellows 7 is connected with the second housing 42, and the other end is connected with the first housing 13, so as to protect the cable of the motor 15. Figure 1

[0035] Preferably, in some embodiments, as shown in the figure, the cutting assembly 2 comprises a focusing mirror 22 and a cutting head 43, the focusing mirror 22 is arranged on the second light channel 21, and the cutting head 43 is arranged at one end of the second light channel 21 away from the first light channel 12. The laser emitted by the laser is focused by the focusing mirror 22, and the focused laser is output from the cutting head 43, so as to improve the cutting effect. Figure 3

[0036] For different sizes and shapes of to-be-cut components, the cutting height of the cutting head 43 of the cutting assembly 2 needs to be set differently, therefore, in some embodiments, as shown in the figures, the laser cutting head 100 further comprises a linear drive assembly 5 connected with the second rotary assembly 4 and driving the second rotary assembly 4 to move in the z direction, so as to drive the cutting assembly 2 to move in the z direction. In this way, the cutting assembly 2 is driven by the linear drive assembly 5 to move in the z direction, so as to change the cutting height of the cutting head 43, thereby adapting to the cutting requirements of different sizes and shapes of to-be-cut components. Figure 1 Figure 2 ​​​​​

[0037] The specific structure of the linear driving assembly 5 is not limited, as long as it can drive the second rotating assembly 4 to move in the z direction. For example, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The linear driving assembly 5 includes a driving part 51, a movable part 52, and a mounting seat 53 fixed on the equipment body. The second rotating assembly 4 is mounted on the movable part 52. The movable part 52 is provided with a guide rail 521 extending in the z direction. The mounting seat 53 is provided with a sliding block. The driving part 51 can drive the sliding block to move on the guide rail 521, so that the movable part 52 moves in the z direction relative to the mounting seat 53, and drives the second rotating assembly 4 to move in the z direction. By arranging the guide rail 521 on the movable part 52 and the sliding block on the mounting seat 53, the guide rail 521 moves with the movable part 52 and does not interfere with the positioning tool and the part to be cut below the mounting seat 53, so that the laser cutting head 100 can be adapted to larger size parts to be cut, and the applicability of the laser cutting head 100 is improved.

[0038] Specifically, the driving part 51 is a linear motor with a brake function, which can realize self-locking function when the driving part 51 stops running.

[0039] Further, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 3 The mounting seat 53 is arranged in a ring shape, and the movable part 52 is movably arranged in the mounting seat 53. In this way, since the second rotating assembly 4 is connected with the movable part 52, when the movable part 52 moves upward excessively, the second rotating assembly 4 will abut against the bottom of the mounting seat 53, which plays a limiting role and prevents the movable part 52 from being disconnected from the mounting seat 53.

[0040] Similarly, in some embodiments, as shown in Figure 1 The linear driving assembly 5 further includes a limiting part 54 arranged on the top of the movable part 52. The limiting part 54 has a limiting wall which can abut against the top of the mounting seat 53 to limit the downward movement of the movable part 52. In this way, the limiting part 54 can limit the downward movement of the movable part 52 by abutting against the top of the mounting seat 53, preventing the movable part 52 from moving downward excessively, which can cause the cutting head 43 of the cutting assembly 2 to collide with the part to be cut and be damaged.

[0041] Only when the laser is arranged directly above the second rotating assembly 4, the laser can directly enter the third light channel 41 in the second rotating assembly 4. In order to adapt to different arrangement positions of the laser, in some embodiments, as shown inFigure 3 As shown in the figure, the light path reflection device 3 further comprises a second light path reflection assembly 32, which is fixed on the mounting seat 53 and located at the end of the third light channel 41 away from the first light channel 12. In this way, the laser emitted by the laser can be reflected into the third light channel 41 of the second rotary assembly 4 through the second light path reflection assembly 32.

[0042] Since the second rotary assembly 4 moves in the z direction under the drive of the linear drive assembly 5, there is a large gap between the second light path reflection assembly 32 and the second rotary assembly 4. In order to avoid dust entering the second rotary assembly 4 from the gap, in some embodiments, as shown in the figure, Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the laser cutting head 100 further comprises a protective cover 6, one end of which is connected with the second light path reflection assembly 32 and the other end of which is connected with the second rotary assembly 4. The protective cover 6 is arranged in an extendable and retractable manner in the z direction, and the third light channel 41 extends into the protective cover 6. By arranging the protective cover 6 between the second light path reflection assembly 32 and the second rotary assembly 4, dust can be prevented from entering the second rotary assembly 4 from the gap, and the optical path is protected from being contaminated by dust.

[0043] In addition, the utility model further provides a kind of laser cutting equipment, including equipment body, laser and the laser cutting head 100, the laser emitted by laser can be sequentially through the entrance 11, the first light channel 12 and the second light channel 21, and from the cutting assembly 2 output, the equipment body is equipped with cutting station, the laser cutting head 100 is installed on the equipment body, and the cutting station is in the working range of the cutting assembly 2 of the laser cutting head 100.

[0044] The above is only the preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not used to limit the utility model, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the utility model should be included in the protection scope of the utility model.
