Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of laser processing equipment technology, specifically relating to a laser processing galvanometer for continuous ranging. Background Technology

[0002] Laser processing technology, with its advantages of high precision, high efficiency, and non-contact processing, has been widely used in many fields. As a key actuator in laser processing systems, the laser galvanometer can quickly and accurately control the deflection of the laser beam, enabling flexible scanning of the processing area and greatly improving the efficiency and precision of laser processing. However, when processing workpieces with complex three-dimensional structures, the actual distance between each point on the workpiece surface and the laser processing head cannot be known in advance. This can lead to uneven energy distribution due to defocusing of the laser beam during propagation, resulting in unstable processing quality and problems such as inconsistent processing depth and large differences in edge roughness.

[0003] Existing laser galvanometers use a rotating lead screw to position the laser focusing distance and processing depth. Before processing, the laser focusing and processing depth must be pre-positioned, which makes it difficult to achieve precise positioning. Due to human factors, it is difficult to guarantee the accuracy and consistency of the laser focusing distance and processing depth in actual operation. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a laser processing galvanometer for continuous ranging, which solves the problem that it is difficult to achieve accurate real-time positioning of processing depth in the prior art.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a laser processing galvanometer for continuous ranging, including a housing, a reflective mechanism connected to the side wall of the housing, a beam splitting unit connected to the inner side wall of the housing, an entrance hole opened on the side wall of the housing, the entrance hole being arranged opposite to the beam splitting mechanism, a laser displacement sensor connected to the top of the housing, the laser displacement sensor being arranged directly above the beam splitting unit, and a field lens assembly connected to the bottom of the housing.

[0006] The feature of this utility model is that,

[0007] The outer casing has a locking hole in the middle of the adjacent two side walls, and a clamping unit is engaged in the locking hole. The clamping unit is connected to the reflective mechanism.

[0008] The clamping unit includes two clamping plates arranged opposite each other. Each clamping plate has a clamping hole on one side opposite to the other. The reflective mechanism matches the clamping hole, and both clamping plates are snapped into the hole.

[0009] The side of the clamping plate opposite to the clamping hole is connected to the card hole by bolts.

[0010] The reflective mechanism includes a first galvanometer motor and a second galvanometer motor. The output ends of the first galvanometer motor and the second galvanometer motor are both connected to reflectors. Both reflectors are set inside the housing. The reflector on the first galvanometer motor is arranged opposite to the light entrance hole. The first galvanometer motor and the second galvanometer motor are respectively clamped in the clamping hole.

[0011] The beam splitting unit includes a connecting frame, one side of which is connected to the inner wall of the housing. A beam splitter is connected to the bottom of the connecting frame and is positioned at an angle. The beam splitter is positioned directly below the laser displacement sensor and is located between the field lens assembly and the laser displacement sensor.

[0012] The beam splitter and the inner wall of the connecting bracket housing form an angle of +45° or -45°.

[0013] The laser displacement sensor has an internal laser connected to it. The laser is positioned directly above the beam splitter. A built-in lens is located on one side of the laser, which is also positioned directly above the beam splitter. A light signal receiver is located above the built-in lens.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: A laser processing galvanometer with continuous ranging capability integrates a laser displacement sensor within the galvanometer, enabling continuous ranging. The near and far positions of the target object reflect the sensor output light. The reflected light passes through the field lens of the field lens assembly and the beam splitter of the beam splitter assembly, reflecting the reflected light onto the lens of the laser displacement sensor. The lens of the laser displacement sensor focuses the received reflected light, which is then received by the optical signal receiver of the laser displacement sensor, forming data capture. An external signal processor component enables data capture and parameter data processing. Simultaneously, by measuring the photosensitive position difference between the near and far positions of the laser on the target object, the distance between the laser galvanometer and the target object can be measured.

This connection port is electrically connected to the signal processor and the display screen. The laser 21 outputs light, which passes through the beam splitter 8 and the field lens assembly 6, reaching the target object's processing surface. After reflection, the light is focused by the built-in lens 22 and received by the light signal receiver 23.

[0060] The working principle of this novel laser processing galvanometer for continuous ranging is as follows:

[0061] The laser enters the galvanometer housing 1 through the light entrance 3, is reflected by the reflectors 11 on the first galvanometer motor 4 and the second galvanometer motor 5, and reaches the beam splitter 8. Then, it passes through the working surface of the field lens assembly 6 for laser processing. During the laser processing operation, the laser 21 continuously outputs light, and the light passes through the beam splitter 8 and the field lens assembly 6 to capture the target object. The continuous output of light can capture the near and far positions of the target object. At the same time, the near and far positions of the target object reflect the laser light output from the laser 21. The reflected light passes through the field lens assembly 6 and the beam splitter 8 and is reflected onto the built-in lens 22. The built-in lens 22 focuses the received reflected light, and the focused reflected light is received by the optical signal receiver 23, forming data capture. The optical signal receiver 23 is electrically connected to the external signal processor of the laser displacement sensor. The external signal processor component, the optical signal receiver 23, converts the optical signal into an electrical signal and outputs it to the signal processor through the connection port to realize data capture and parameter data processing. At the same time, by measuring the difference in photosensitive position between the laser at the near end and far end of the target object, the distance between the laser galvanometer and the target object can be measured and displayed on the external display screen.

[0062] This invention relates to a laser processing galvanometer for continuous ranging. During the laser processing operation, the laser light from the laser is focused onto different parts of the working surface of the target object by a beam splitter and a field lens assembly. The light illuminating the working surface of the target object at different parts is reflected, and the reflected light is focused by a built-in lens. The focused reflected light is output to a light signal receiver, and the captured light signal is digitally processed to realize the ranging function.
