[0002] A laser engraving machine is a device that uses the high energy of a laser beam to engrave, cut, and process materials. The core component of a laser engraving machine is a laser generator, which produces a high-energy-density laser beam. The laser beam is focused onto the surface of the material to be processed by an optical focusing system, instantly generating extremely high temperatures (up to several thousand degrees Celsius), causing the material to rapidly vaporize, melt, or undergo chemical changes.

[0003] In existing technologies, after a customer orders a batch of laser engraving products, samples need to be made for the customer to choose from. During this process, multiple samples are required, each made of different materials. However, the thickness of the materials and substrates of the different samples varies. Therefore, when engraving the samples, it is necessary to write programs multiple times to perform the process one by one, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, inefficient, and impractical.

[0044] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4The adjustable multi-station engraving machine provided in this application will now be described. The adjustable multi-station engraving machine includes a conveying mechanism 10, an adjusting mechanism 20, and a station fine-tuning mechanism 30. The conveying mechanism 10 has a conveying surface for placing various substrates and for moving the substrates horizontally in a linear fashion. The horizontal direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying surface is the first direction. The adjusting mechanism 20 has an adjusting position located above the conveying surface, and the adjusting position can move vertically and / or in the first direction. Multiple station fine-tuning mechanisms 30 are provided, and each station fine-tuning mechanism 30 is spaced apart on the adjusting position along the first direction. Each station fine-tuning mechanism 30 has a clamping position for fixing a laser generator and for moving the laser emitter vertically.

[0045] The adjustable multi-station engraving machine provided in this embodiment, compared with the prior art, is equipped with a conveying mechanism 10, an adjusting mechanism 20, and a station fine-tuning mechanism 30. The conveying mechanism 10 realizes the automatic conveying of the substrate, the adjusting mechanism 20 can flexibly adjust the position of the engraving station in the vertical and horizontal directions, and the station fine-tuning mechanism 30 can accurately adjust the position and height of the laser generator. The three work together to adapt to the engraving processing of various substrates, improve engraving efficiency and accuracy, and meet diverse engraving needs.

[0046] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 10 described above may employ, for example... Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The conveying mechanism 10 is a conveyor belt, and the upper surface of the conveyor belt is the conveying surface.

[0047] Using a conveyor belt as the conveying mechanism 10 has a simple structure, stable operation, low cost, and is easy to maintain and replace. It can reliably transport the substrate and ensure the continuity of the engraving process.

[0048] The conveyor belt is made of polyurethane, which is wear-resistant and oil-resistant. The surface of the conveyor belt has anti-slip textures to increase friction with the substrate. The conveyor belt is driven by a synchronous belt drive to ensure accuracy and stability of transmission.

[0049] In some embodiments, the adjustment mechanism 20 may employ, for example... Figures 1 to 3 The structure shown. See also Figures 1 to 3The adjusting mechanism 20 includes: a fixed frame 21, a sliding seat 22, a first driver, a connecting seat 23, a multi-station connecting frame 24, and a second driver 25. The fixed frame 21 has a sliding rail arranged along a first direction, which is positioned above the conveying mechanism 10. The sliding seat 22 is slidably disposed on the sliding rail along the first direction. The first driver drives the sliding seat 22 to slide along the first direction. The connecting seat 23 is disposed on the sliding seat 22 and has a vertical sliding rail arranged along a vertical direction. The multi-station connecting frame 24 is slidably disposed on the vertical sliding rail along a vertical direction and is in an adjusting position. The second driver 25 drives the multi-station connecting frame 24 to slide along a vertical direction.

[0050] The adjustment mechanism 20 incorporates a combination of a fixed frame 21, a sliding seat 22, a first driver, a connecting seat 23, a multi-station connecting frame 24, and a second driver 25, enabling automatic adjustment of the adjustment position in both vertical and horizontal directions. Driven by the first and second drivers 25, the position of the engraving station can be adjusted quickly and accurately, improving adjustment efficiency and adapting to the engraving needs of substrates of different sizes and shapes.

[0051] The sliding rail of the fixed frame 21 adopts a linear guide rail, and the sliding seat 22 cooperates with the linear guide rail through a slider to achieve sliding in the first direction. The first driver is a servo motor, which drives the sliding seat 22 to move through a synchronous belt drive, and can precisely control the moving distance and speed of the sliding seat 22. The vertical slide rail on the connecting seat 23 also adopts a linear guide rail, and the multi-station connecting frame 24 is connected to the vertical slide rail through a slider. The second driver 25 adopts an electric push rod, which drives the multi-station connecting frame 24 to move in the vertical direction, so as to achieve precise adjustment of the adjustment position in two directions.

[0052] In some embodiments, the aforementioned fixing bracket 21 may be adopted as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 The structure shown. See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 The fixing frame 21 includes a fixing column 211 and a connecting plate 212. There are two fixing columns 211, which are spaced apart on both sides of the conveying mechanism 10 along a first direction. The connecting plate 212 is fixed to the top of the two fixing columns 211, and the connecting plate 212 is arranged along the first direction. A sliding rail is arranged on the connecting plate 212.

[0053] The fixed frame 21 consists of a fixed column 211 and a connecting plate 212, forming a stable frame structure that provides reliable support for the sliding track, ensures the stability of the sliding seat 22 during the sliding process, thereby ensuring the positional accuracy of the adjustment position and improving the overall stability and reliability of the engraving machine.

[0054] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned fine-tuning mechanism may employ, for example... Figure 4 The structure shown. See also Figure 4 Each station fine-tuning mechanism 30 is slidably mounted on the multi-station connecting frame 24 along a first direction. Each station fine-tuning mechanism 30 includes: an adjusting seat 31, a clamping block 32, a fastening screw 33, and a height adjustment structure 34. The adjusting seat 31 is slidably mounted on the multi-station connecting frame 24 along the first direction and has a first groove for placing the laser generator. The clamping block 32 has a second groove for placing the laser generator and is fastened to the adjusting seat 31. One end of the fastening screw 33 is threaded to the adjusting seat 31, and the other end extends horizontally outward. The extended end of the fastening screw 33 passes through the clamping block 32, and the extended end of the fastening screw 33 has an abutment ring 331. The abutment ring 331 abuts against the clamping block 32 and is used to engage the second groove and the first groove when the fastening screw 33 rotates, so as to place the laser generator. The height adjustment structure 34 is disposed on the clamping block 32. The height adjustment structure 34 has a height adjustment part that moves in the vertical direction and is used to drive the laser generator to move in the vertical direction.

[0055] The multi-station connecting frame 24 is provided with a sliding groove for each adjusting seat 31 to slide.

[0056] The design of the adjusting seat 31, clamping block 32, fastening screw 33, and height adjustment structure 34 in the workstation fine-tuning mechanism 30 not only facilitates the installation and fixation of the laser generator but also enables fine-tuning of the laser generator in both horizontal and vertical directions. The adjusting seat 31 can slide on the multi-station connecting frame 24 to adjust the horizontal position of the laser generator. The height adjustment structure 34 can precisely adjust the height of the laser generator to meet the requirements of high-precision engraving and improve the quality of the engraved products.

[0057] In some embodiments, the height adjustment structure 34 described above can be adopted as follows: Figure 4 The structure shown. See also Figure 4 The height adjustment structure 34 includes: a clamping plate 341, a connecting bolt 342, and an adjusting screw 343. Two clamping plates 341 are provided, each with a clamping slot for placing the laser generator. The connecting bolt 342 passes through one clamping plate 341 and is rotatably connected to it, and is threadedly connected to the other clamping plate 341, allowing the two clamping slots to engage for placing the laser generator. The adjusting screw 343 is vertically oriented, with its bottom end rotatably connected to a clamping block 32. The adjusting screw 343 is threadedly connected to one of the clamping plates 341, causing the corresponding clamping plate 341 to move vertically when the adjusting screw 343 rotates.

[0058] The height adjustment structure 34 includes a clamping plate 341, connecting bolts 342, and adjusting screw 343. The rotation of the adjusting screw 343 causes the clamping plate 341 to move vertically, achieving precise adjustment of the laser generator height. This structure is simple to design, easy to adjust, and can meet the needs of different engraving depths, improving the applicability of the engraving machine.

[0059] In some embodiments, the adjusting screw 343 described above can be as follows: Figure 4 The structure shown. See also Figure 4 Each adjusting screw 343 has an adjusting handle 3431 at its top end.

[0060] An adjustment handle 3431 is provided at the top of the adjustment screw 343, which makes it convenient for operators to manually adjust the height of the laser generator without the need for other tools, making the operation more convenient and improving the efficiency and accuracy of fine adjustment.

[0061] In some embodiments, the aforementioned fastening screw 33 may be adopted as follows: Figure 4 The structure shown. See also Figure 4 Each fastening screw 33 has a fastening handle 332 extending from its extension.

[0062] The fastening screw 33 is provided with a fastening handle 332 at its extended end, which makes it easy for operators to quickly tighten or loosen the fastening screw 33, enabling the laser generator to be installed and disassembled quickly, thus improving the efficiency of equipment use and the convenience of maintenance.

[0063] In some embodiments, the adjustment seat 31 may be adopted as follows: Figure 4 The structure shown. See also Figure 4 Each adjustment seat 31 is equipped with a positioning bolt, which is used to fix the position of the adjustment seat 31 on the multi-station connecting frame 24.

[0064] The adjusting seat 31 is equipped with positioning bolts, which can be firmly fixed to the multi-station connecting frame 24 after the adjusting seat 31 is adjusted to the appropriate position. This prevents the adjusting seat 31 from shifting due to vibration or other factors during the engraving process, ensuring the positional accuracy of the laser generator, and thus ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the engraving.

[0065] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
