[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-9 In this embodiment of the present invention, a protective device for a laser cutting machine includes a worktable 1, a laser cutting machine compartment 2 mounted on top of the worktable 1, a laser cutting head 3 mounted on the laser cutting head 3, a shielding mechanism 4 disposed on the outside of the laser cutting head 3, and a fireproof mechanism 5 disposed on the outside of the laser cutting machine compartment 2. The shielding mechanism 4 includes a mounting plate 401 and barrier plates 404. The mounting plate 401 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the laser cutting head 3, and the barrier plates 404 are disposed below the mounting plate 401. The four barrier plates 404 are located below the mounting plate 401. 4 also includes a bearing housing 402 and a rotating rod body 403. The bearing housing 402 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the mounting plate 401. The rotating rod body 403 is installed inside the bearing housing 402. A second bearing bracket 407 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the baffle plate 404. A gas rod body 406 is installed on the second bearing bracket 407. A first bearing bracket 405 is installed at the upper end of the gas rod body 406. The first bearing bracket 405 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the mounting plate 401. The baffle plate 404 is installed on the rotating rod body 403. A second bearing bracket 407 and a gas rod body 406 are installed on the outer wall of each baffle plate 404.

[0031] See Figure 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 9Initially, before activation, the pneumatic rod 406 needs to be connected to the control terminal. When activated, four baffles 404 shield the outside of the laser cutting head 3, forming a basic baffle structure that can effectively block the laser beam from the laser cutting head 3 and prevent sparks from flying. At the same time, the pneumatic rod 406 can be extended and retracted to adjust the flipping state of the baffles 404, thereby adjusting the shielding range of the baffles 404. Especially when cutting irregularly shaped workpieces, in order to avoid the baffles 404 blocking the workpiece, the position of the baffles 404 can be adjusted to adapt, thereby avoiding obstruction of the cutting operation.

[0032] Among them, the shielding mechanism 4 adopts an adjustable four-sided shielding structure, which uses a plate to shield the outside of the laser cutting head 3. It will not affect the basic cutting effect of the laser cutting head 3, and can also block the laser beam of the laser cutting head 3 and the sparks brought by cutting, effectively improving the safety and reliability of this laser cutting machine.

[0033] The fireproof mechanism 5 includes a storage tank 501 and a piston pump 502. The storage tank 501 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the laser cutting machine compartment 2. The piston pump 502 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the storage tank 501. The fireproof mechanism 5 also includes a first air pipe head 503 and an exhaust pipe 504. The first air pipe head 503 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the piston pump 502. The exhaust pipe 504 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the first air pipe head 503. The exhaust pipe 504 is inserted into the interior of the storage tank 501. A second air pipe head 505 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the piston pump 502. An exhaust pipe 506 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second air pipe head 505. The exhaust pipe 506 extends to the front of the laser cutting head 3. An air jet nozzle 507 is fixedly connected to the end of the exhaust pipe 506 away from the piston pump 502. The air jet nozzle 507 is fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting plate 401.

[0034] See Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 9 Before activation, it is necessary to ensure that high-pressure carbon dioxide is injected into the storage tank 501 and the piston pump 502 is connected to the control terminal. When activated, the piston pump 502 is started to quickly extract the high-pressure carbon dioxide in the storage tank 501 and quickly guide it to the laser cutting head 3 through the gas outlet pipe 506 to reduce the oxygen concentration in the vicinity and thus suppress the spread of the fire.

[0035] Among them, the fire prevention mechanism 5 adopts the method of guiding fire extinguishing agent (liquid carbon dioxide). In the event of an accidental fire, it can quickly guide the fire extinguishing agent to the laser cutting head 3. At the point of fire, it can quickly reduce the oxygen concentration to suppress the spread of the fire and thus achieve the effect of fire safety control.

[0036] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, when the laser cutting machine is performing cutting operations, the laser cutting head 3 is placed above the worktable 1 for high-precision material cutting. To prevent the laser beam from leaking out and the sparks generated during the cutting process from harming the surrounding environment, the shielding mechanism 4 adopts an adjustable four-sided shielding structure. This structure consists of multiple adjustable baffles 404. These baffles 404 can be flexibly adjusted according to the shape of the workpiece and the cutting angle, thereby effectively blocking the laser beam and sparks while ensuring the cutting effect, protecting surrounding personnel and equipment from harm. At the same time, in order to effectively deal with potential fire risks, a fire prevention mechanism 5 is added. This mechanism includes a storage tank 501 and a piston pump 502. The storage tank 501 is used to store high-pressure carbon dioxide, and the piston pump 502 is responsible for quickly extracting the storage tank 501. When starting the laser cutting machine, the operator must ensure that sufficient high-pressure carbon dioxide is injected into the storage tank 501 and connect the piston pump 502 to the control terminal. After the laser cutting machine is started, the piston pump 502 begins to rapidly extract carbon dioxide from the storage tank 501 and quickly delivers it to the front of the laser cutting head 3 through the exhaust pipe 506. During this process, the injection of carbon dioxide effectively reduces the surrounding oxygen concentration, thereby suppressing the spread of fire and reducing the possibility of fire. In summary, the protective device of this laser cutting machine, through the cooperation of the shielding mechanism 4 and the fireproof mechanism 5, forms a highly efficient safety protection system. This system can not only prevent the hazards of laser radiation and sparks during the cutting process, but also take measures quickly in emergency situations to control fire risks, providing comprehensive safety protection for laser cutting operations.
