The pressure plate is sleeved around the outer periphery of the column and is movable along the axial direction of the column. The polarization combiner 39...

[0045] Prism holder 391 is a purchased part, manufactured by Wuhan Leilan Laser Co., Ltd., model: size 10×10mm (visible light band).

[0046] The housing 32 is connected to the heat sink 31 and encloses the first laser assembly 33, the second laser assembly 38, the polarization combiner 39, the lens assembly 34, and the conical mirror assembly 35.

[0047] Two fans 36 and multiple feedthrough capacitors 37 are mounted on a heat sink 31, located on opposite sides of the heat sink 31. The two fans 36 are positioned below the first laser assembly 33 and the second laser assembly 38, respectively. The multiple feedthrough capacitors 37 are positioned close to the lens assembly 34. The feedthrough capacitors 37 are used to filter out high-frequency noise and interference signals, ensuring the stability and signal integrity of the laser projector 3.

[0048] The first laser assembly 33 and the second laser assembly 38 have the same structure, each including a laser 331, a pad 332, a thermoelectric cooler 333, and a thermistor 334.

[0053] The lasers 331 of the first laser assembly 33 and the second laser assembly 38 emit laser beams, which are then combined by the polarization combiner 39 to form a single laser beam that is incident on the lens 341. The distance between the lens 341 and the laser 331 is adjusted by the slide motor 343 to achieve beam focusing and collimation. The collimated beam is converted into a ring beam by the conical mirror 351; this conversion process can be precisely controlled by adjusting the mirror frame 353. The ring beam finally exits through the window 321, forming a straight reference in the area to be processed on the blade.

[0054] During operation, it is necessary to observe the relative position of the straight reference line emitted by the laser projector 3 and the marking line (marking line) of the area to be processed. By the translation movement of the horizontal moving component 23, the angle adjustment of the swinging gimbal 24, and the orientation adjustment of the rotating gimbal 25, the spatial position and projection posture of the laser projector 3 are comprehensively adjusted until the straight reference line and the marking line are completely coincident.
