[0028] Preferably, the laser processing system based on the acousto-optic deflector further comprises a paraxial positioning CCD 4 for positioning the position of the workpiece to be processed, the paraxial positioning CCD 4 is located on one side of the galvanometer 14, and the paraxial positioning CCD 4 is electrically connected with the controller 7.

[0029] The specific process of laser processing by the laser processing system based on the acousto-optic deflector of the embodiment is as follows: the workpiece to be processed is placed on the XYZ motion platform 2, the processing template and parameters are set according to the requirements, the laser processing system is started, the XYZ motion platform 2 drives the workpiece to be processed to move below the paraxial positioning CCD 4, the paraxial positioning CCD 4 positions one or more feature MARK points on the workpiece to be processed and calculates the accurate positioning coordinates of the workpiece to be processed, the XYZ motion platform 2 drives the workpiece to be processed to move below the galvanometer 14 processing range, the galvanometer 14 range is divided into several small ranges according to the processing range of the acousto-optic deflection assembly, and when processing, the galvanometer 14 deflects to the several small ranges in turn, and the acousto-optic deflection assembly performs laser processing in the small range. In order to completely describe the processing process, the movements of the XYZ motion platform 2, the galvanometer 14 and the acousto-optic deflection assembly are respectively divided into X and Y direction movements, the acousto-optic deflection assembly can compensate the movement speed and movement accuracy of the XYZ motion platform 2 and the galvanometer 14 in the X and Y directions in real time, so as to realize high-speed and high-precision laser processing of the XYZ motion platform 2 without frequent start and stop, and meanwhile, the failure rate and wear rate of the XYZ motion platform 2 and the galvanometer 14 due to frequent start and stop can be effectively reduced.

[0030] In an optional embodiment, the XYZ motion platform 2 is provided with a suction jig 3, a plurality of vacuum suction holes are arranged on the suction jig 3, and the suction jig 3 is used for vacuum suction of the workpiece to be processed.

The beam expander 9 is used to expand the diameter of the laser beam to the required spot size entering the acousto-optic deflector 6. In the embodiment, the input spot size entering the acousto-optic deflector 6 is designed to be 4±1mm. The acousto-optic deflector 6 controls the deflection angle of the laser beam, so that the first-order diffracted beam of the laser beam passes through the diaphragm 11, and at the same time, the diaphragm 11 blocks other orders of diffracted beams of the laser beam.

[0033] Optimally, the beam expander 9 and the acousto-optic deflector 6 are arranged close to the laser 5, which facilitates the laser beam to enter the acousto-optic deflector 6 for subsequent processing after being generated, reduces the energy loss and the risk of optical path deviation in the laser beam transmission process, and ensures the stability and accuracy of the system operation.

[0035] Optimally, a first lens 10 is arranged on the laser light path between the acousto-optic deflector 6 and the diaphragm 11, which focuses the laser beam output by the acousto-optic deflector 6 into the diaphragm 11; and a second lens 12 is arranged on the laser light path between the diaphragm 11 and the galvanometer 14, which focuses the laser beam passing through the diaphragm 11, so that the laser beam has a higher energy density when passing through the galvanometer 14, and by adjusting the position and focal length of the second lens 12, the diameter, divergence angle and other parameters of the laser beam can also be changed to adapt to the specifications and application requirements of different galvanometers 14.

[0036] Optionally, the acousto-optic deflection assembly further includes several turnaround mirrors 13 for changing the transmission direction of the laser, which can adjust the spatial layout of each optical element on the laser light path to save the occupied space of the laser processing system; for example, as shown in Figure 2 The acousto-optic deflection assembly of the embodiment includes five turnaround mirrors 13 arranged at five turning angles of the laser light path.
