Description

Technical Field

[0054] Preferably, the coupling body 13 is provided with a ball-head plunger 16 for adjusting the displacement of the Z-axis fixed body 5.

[0055] The working principle of this utility model:

[0056] In this embodiment, the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction can all be referenced. Figure 1 The X-axis fixing body 1 can adjust the lens barrel 2 along the X-axis direction; the Y-axis fixing body 4 can adjust the position of the X-axis fixing body 1 and the lens barrel 2 along the Y-axis direction; and the Z-axis fixing body 5 can adjust the position of the Y-axis fixing body 4, the X-axis fixing body 1, and the lens barrel 2 along the Z-axis direction. Figure 1 The vertical height can be adjusted up and down.

[0057] Both the first differential head 6 and the second differential head 7 can be selected as 90-degree differential heads. Both the first differential head 6 and the second differential head 7 can swing and rotate to change direction. In addition, both the first differential head 6 and the second differential head 7 can provide directional force. The first differential head 6 can provide a reverse force in the X-axis direction to the X-axis fixed body 1 to adjust the position of the X-axis fixed body 1 in the X-axis direction. The first differential head 6 can provide a reverse force in the Y-axis direction to the Y-axis fixed body 4 to adjust the position of the Y-axis fixed body 4 in the Y-axis direction. The ball plunger 16 is used to provide a reverse force in the Z-axis direction to the Z-axis fixed body 5. In this embodiment, the direction of the first connecting member 8 toward the first differential head 6 is the positive X-axis direction, that is, the direction of the reverse force provided by the first differential head 6 is opposite to the positive X-axis direction. The direction of the second connector 9 toward the second differential head 7 is the positive Y-axis direction, meaning that the direction of the reverse force provided by the second differential head 7 is opposite to the positive Y-axis direction. Similarly, the direction of the Z-axis fixed body 5 toward the coupling body 13 is the positive Z-axis direction, and the direction of the reverse force provided by the ball head plunger 16 is opposite to the positive Z-axis direction.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first spring is disposed between the X-axis fixed body 1 and the Y-axis fixed body 4, that is, both ends of the first spring are connected to the X-axis fixed body 1 and the Y-axis fixed body 4 respectively, to provide elastic force to the X-axis fixed body 1 in the X-axis direction, limit the maximum range of the X-axis fixed body 1 and ensure the reset of the X-axis fixed body 1 in the X-axis direction. The first differential head 6 can work with the first spring to adjust the position of the X-axis fixed body 1 in the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, the second spring is disposed between the Y-axis fixed body 4 and the Z-axis fixed body 5, that is, both ends of the second spring are connected to the Y-axis fixed body 4 and the Z-axis fixed body 5 respectively, to provide elastic force to the Y-axis fixed body 4 in the Y-axis direction, limit the maximum displacement range of the Y-axis fixed body 4 and ensure the reset of the Y-axis fixed body 4 in the Y-axis direction. The second differential head 7 can work with the second spring to adjust the position of the Y-axis fixed body 4 in the Y-axis direction. Similarly, the two ends of the third spring 15 are connected to the Z-axis fixing body 5 and the coupling body 13 respectively, so as to provide the Z-axis fixing body 5 with elastic force in the Z-axis direction, limit the maximum displacement range of the Z-axis fixing body 5 and ensure the reset of the Z-axis fixing body 5 in the Z-axis direction. The ball plunger 16 can work with the third spring 15 to adjust the position of the Z-axis fixing body 5 in the Z-axis direction.

[0059] The X-axis fixed body 1 is equipped with a lens barrel 2 and a water-cooling connector 3. The coupling lens is fixed to the lens barrel 2 by a clamping ring. Cooling water passes through the water-cooling connector 3 and the lens barrel 2 to carry away the heat of the coupling lens through heat conduction. The Y-axis and Z-axis channels allow the lens barrel 2 to pass through or be matched smoothly for installation, ensuring stable laser output. This application achieves X, Y, and Z-axis linkage adjustment through the X-axis assembly, Y-axis assembly, Z-axis assembly, and coupling body 13, enabling the laser to be accurately coupled into the fiber optic clamp 14 (i.e., the laser focus is adjusted in three directions to fall on the fiber end face), thus completing the laser output.

[0060] The first sliding structure 10, the second sliding structure 11, and the third sliding structure 12 can all be selected from crossed roller guides to realize the relative movement of the X-axis fixed body 1, the Y-axis fixed body 4, and the Z-axis fixed body 5, thereby adjusting the laser focus. The ball plunger 16 can horizontally penetrate the coupling body 13 and extend to one side of the Z-axis fixed body 5 to compress the Z-axis fixed body 5 and adjust the Z-axis position of the Z-axis fixed body 5. The ball plunger 16 can be selected from threaded rods or other forms that pass through the coupling body 13, and the ball plunger 16 can be moved horizontally to adjust its position. Specifically, the mirror barrel 2, the Y-axis channel, the Z-axis channel, and the fiber optic clamp 14 can be adjusted to be coaxially arranged, and are not limited to the above situations.

[0061] The technical means disclosed in this utility model are not limited to those disclosed in the above embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
