The second friction member 400 is arranged on the protective cover 200, and the second friction member 400 can abut against the first friction member 300 to generate a friction force between the second friction member 400 and the first friction member 300, which can limit the movement of the protective cover 200 relative to the support frame 100, so as to help overcome the gravity of the protective cover 200 itself, thereby realizing the switching of the protective cover 200 between the closed position and the open position, and keeping the protective cover 200 hovering.

[0030] Please refer to Figure 2 , the support frame 100 is provided with a sliding groove, and the protective cover 200 can be slidingly arranged in the support frame 100 through the sliding groove.

The protective cover 200 is slidingly arranged in the first sliding groove and the second sliding groove.

[0033] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 The laser processing device further comprises a base 130 connected with the bottom of the support frame 100. The base 130 is used to place the workpiece to be processed. The base 130 can be a square structure, a circular structure, etc. In use, the base 130 is placed in the horizontal direction. The support frame 100 is placed in the vertical direction.

[0034] In the embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 The protective cover 200 is slidingly arranged on the support frame 100, so that the base 130 and the protective cover 200 can enclose a working space for laser processing. The worker can open or close the working space by adjusting the height of the protective cover 200 relative to the base 130. The protective cover 200 can filter the laser beams reflected when the workpiece is processed by the laser processing head. The protective cover 200 can be a semi-transparent light filter.

The friction force between the first friction member 300 and the second friction member 400 can enable the protective cover 200 to overcome the gravity of the protective cover 200, so that the protective cover 200 hovers on the support frame 100.

[0039] When the protective cover 200 needs to be moved, an external force is applied to the protective cover 200, and the external force is greater than the friction force between the first friction member 300 and the second friction member 400, thereby driving the protective cover 200 to move. After moving the protective cover 200 to a preset position, the external force is removed, and the protective cover 200 hovers on the support frame 100 by relying on the friction force between the first friction member 300 and the second friction member 400.
