[0039] The working principle of this utility model:

[0040] The first pulley 2 and the second pulley 3 are fixed to the frame 8 by a structural plate. In this embodiment, the first pulley 2 and the second pulley 3 are horizontally arranged, but the arrangement is not limited to the horizontal arrangement of this embodiment. The air pipe 5 first passes around the first pulley 2, then passes through the movable pulley 4 that can move up and down, then passes through the second pulley 3, and finally exits through the output pulley 14. The output end of the air pipe 5 passes through the output limiting member 11 and is connected to the input end of the cold air gun mechanism 7. Specifically, an L-shaped frame 15 is provided on the outer wall of the cooling turntable 6 to fix the input end of the cold air gun mechanism 7. The input end of the cold air gun mechanism 7 is connected to the output end of the air pipe 5 through a rotary joint on the L-shaped frame 15, ensuring that during the rotation of the cooling turntable 6, the cold air gun mechanism 7 rotates with the cooling turntable 6, and the output end of the air pipe 5 rotates with the rotation of the cold air gun mechanism 7, thereby rotating around the cooling turntable 6 and wrapping around the outer wall of the cooling turntable 6. Figure 3 As shown, the outer wall of the cooling turntable 6 is also equipped with positioning components. Multiple positioning components can be L-shaped or stepped to guide and limit the air pipe 5 wound around the cooling turntable 6, ensuring the recycling and buffering of the air pipe 5. The lower end of the cooling turntable 6 drives the laser head 1 to rotate. The L-shaped frame 15 can be set to rotate synchronously or asynchronously with the laser head 1 according to actual needs.

[0041] The vertical guide rail 9 ensures that the slider 10 moves vertically up and down on the vertical guide rail 9. The slider 10 drives the movable pulley 4 to move up and down. The vertical guide rail 9, the first pulley 2, and the second pulley 3 are all set on the structural plate. In this embodiment, the structural plate is part of the frame 8 and is used to fix the tension adjustment mechanism, the vertical guide rail 9, the input limit member 12, the output pulley 14, and the output limit member 11.

[0042] The retractor 13 is used to control the vertical height of the movable pulley 4, thereby controlling the tension of the air hose 5 during retraction. The movable pulley 4 can be driven by a telescopic mechanism such as a motor or cylinder.

[0043] This invention allows for the retraction and buffering of the air tube 5, satisfying the needs of air tube 5 release and retraction, preventing the air tube 5 from being too long or too short and affecting the normal laser processing process, thus ensuring the high efficiency of the laser processing process; it can solve the problems of air tube 5 tension and buffering, making its structure more compact and its operation smoother. In this embodiment, the air tube 5 is a flexible, deformable, and elastic hollow pipe used to transport gas.

[0044] 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.
