Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser technology, and in particular to a parallel laser adjustment device. Background Technology

[0002] The use of lasers in industrial applications is becoming increasingly widespread, with their powerful processing capabilities and high precision making them the preferred tool in many fields. To meet the diverse needs of different industrial applications, the output end of a laser emitter is often equipped with a carefully designed combined lens system. This system, by adjusting the distance between the lenses, can flexibly adjust the spot size of the laser beam to adapt to different processing tasks.

[0003] In practice, lenses are typically cleverly placed within sleeves, which are designed to be nested in layers. By precisely adjusting the relative positions of the sleeves, we can fine-tune the lens spacing, thereby altering the focusing state of the laser beam after passing through the lens and controlling the size of the laser spot. This adjustment method is not only flexible but also ensures optimal focusing of the laser beam to meet the requirements of high-precision machining.

[0004] However, problems arise when the number of lenses is large. Each lens requires a sleeve that fits tightly, and these sleeves need to be nested together to form a complex assembly structure. In such a structure, ensuring the airtightness between multiple sleeves becomes a pressing issue.

[0005] Due to the minute gaps between the sleeves and potential assembly errors, dust, dirt, and other impurities can easily enter the space between the lenses. Once these impurities adhere to the lens surface or the gaps between the lenses, they can severely interfere with the transmission of the laser beam. They may absorb, scatter, or reflect the laser beam, leading to energy loss, reduced focusing effect, and even potentially causing beam distortion and shift. Summary of the Invention
