[0024] 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.

[0025] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-light source overlapping engraving device, including: a ring array base 3 and a time-division control unit. The ring array base 3 is made of aluminum alloy. Four mounting holes are evenly distributed on the ring array base 3, with tolerance controlled within ±0.05mm. A laser module 2 is inserted into the hole, ensuring that the optical axis of the laser module 2 naturally points to the center of the ring array base 3 after insertion.

[0026] Laser module 2 uses four 30W fiber lasers. Taking wood relief carving as an example, during installation, the operator presses the laser into the hole of the ring array base 3. The tail of the laser is attached to the heat sink 1 with thermally conductive silicone to maintain the working temperature below 40℃ at room temperature.

[0027] The ring array base 3 is located at the light-emitting end of the laser and is equipped with an L-shaped bracket 5. A plano-convex lens 4 is installed on the L-shaped bracket 5.

[0028] The L-shaped bracket 5 and the annular array base 3 can be positioned relative to each other. The L-shaped bracket 5 slides along the laser optical axis and rotates along its own axis, and is positioned by a self-locking nut.

[0029] The L-shaped bracket 5 is adjustable in angle and front-to-back distance, enabling adjustment of the angle and front-to-back distance of the plano-convex lens 4 to meet practical applicability.

[0030] The annular array base 3 is fixedly connected to the base bracket 6, and the other end of the base bracket 6 is detachably connected to the metal base 7.

[0031] A cross-shaped moving slide 8 is provided on the metal base 7. The cross-shaped moving slide 8 is a dual-axis moving platform with X and Y axes. The cross-shaped moving slide 8 is mainly composed of ball screw guide rails and stepper motor drive.

[0032] A platform 9 is provided on the cross-shaped moving slide 8. A crosshair area is provided in the center of the platform 9. A photoelectric sensor with a four-photosensitive unit array is embedded in this area to detect the position of the focal spot and to provide feedback on the calibration status through red and green LED indicators.

[0033] The time-sharing control unit contains a control core, which consists of an STM32 microcontroller and a PWM output module, and independently regulates the power of each laser (10%-100%).

[0034] The control logic of the time-sharing control unit includes timing triggering and power regulation. Timing triggering refers to the time-sharing regulation of the power of the four lasers, allowing the lasers to switch between high power and low power modes in sequence, thereby reducing the risk of overheating of a single laser.

[0035] Power adjustment refers to dynamically adjusting the power range according to the type of carving material to ensure carving efficiency.

[0036] The installation method is as follows: First, press the laser module 2 connected to the heat sink 1 into the holes of the ring array base 3. Then, fix the ring array base 3 to the metal base 7 through the base bracket 6. Connect the laser power supply and controller. During the calibration stage, turn on the laser one by one, adjust the plano-convex lens 4, and observe the LED lights. If all LEDs are lit up with green lights, the calibration is complete.

[0037] This device achieves high energy density engraving without increasing the power of a single light source by superimposing the energy of multiple light sources, thereby improving processing efficiency. Furthermore, by controlling the triggering sequence of multiple light sources, it disperses heat accumulation, uses multiple low-power lasers to replace a single high-power light source, reduces equipment costs, optimizes cost-effectiveness, and avoids the complexity of dynamic adjustment through a pre-calibrated fixed structure.

[0038] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a multi-light source overlapping engraving device, including: a ring array base 3. The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the ring array base 3 is divided into individual units. Each individual unit of the ring array base 3 is fixed from both sides to form six units, which expands the laser to six, thereby expanding the light source. More light sources can increase the total power and meet the engraving needs of different materials.

[0039] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the stepper motor of the cross-shaped moving slide 8 is designed as a closed-loop servo motor, which improves the repeatability of positioning accuracy.
