[0040] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this application have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains.

[0041] In this utility model, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not used to limit this utility model. Example

[0042] See Figures 1-3 As shown, a visual imaging telescopic device for laser cutting is installed inside the frame 1 of the laser cutting equipment. The frame 1 provides a stable installation space for the entire device, and the opening 100 on it is a key channel for the reciprocating movement of the light source assembly, ensuring that the light source bracket 5 carries the light source assembly smoothly through.

[0043] The visual imaging telescopic device includes a fixed bracket 2, which serves as the basic support structure of the device and is securely installed within the frame 1. Its material can be a high-strength metal (aluminum alloy or stainless steel) to ensure it does not deform or break during long-term use. The shape of the fixed bracket 2 can be rationally designed according to the internal space of the frame 1 and the installation requirements of the drive component 3. For example, a rectangular frame structure can be used to provide sufficient support area while facilitating the installation and adjustment of the drive component 3.

[0044] The drive assembly 3 is the core component that enables the reciprocating motion of the slide table 4. It is mounted on the fixed bracket 2. The drive assembly 3 has the slide table 4 mounted on it and can drive the slide table 4 to reciprocate along a linear direction. The drive assembly 3 can take various forms, such as using a lead screw module driven by a servo motor, where the servo motor rotates the lead screw, thereby driving the nut and the slide table 4 to move in a linear direction; or it can use a rodless cylinder to directly achieve the linear motion of the slide table 4.

[0045] The near end of the light source bracket 5 is firmly fixed to the slide table 4, and the far end is equipped with the light source assembly. The light source bracket 5 can be assembled from lightweight and high-strength aluminum profiles to reduce the overall weight of the device and the load on the drive assembly 3. The light source frame 6 in the light source assembly provides a stable mounting position for the light source 7, which can be a single-piece LED light source board with advantages such as high luminous efficiency, long lifespan, and low heat generation.

[0046] This invention's visual imaging telescopic device, when integrated into laser cutting equipment, can share the same power supply, gas supply, and control systems. Through linkage with the laser cutting equipment, the extension and retraction of the light source 7 can be automatically controlled according to the laser cutting process, achieving efficient and precise visual imaging inspection, greatly improving the quality and production efficiency of laser cutting.

[0047] Furthermore, to ensure the smoothness and precision of the slide table 4's movement, a linear slide rail 10 is provided on the fixed bracket 2. The extension direction of the linear slide rail 10 is consistent with the driving direction of the drive assembly 3, and the slider on it is firmly fixedly connected to the slide table 4. Thus, when the drive assembly 3 drives the slide table 4 to move, the slider slides along the linear slide rail 10, which can effectively reduce the shaking and offset of the slide table 4 during movement and improve the stability of the device operation.

[0048] Meanwhile, a cable chain 11 is also installed on the fixed bracket 2, with one end of the cable chain 11 connected to the slide table 4. The cable chain 11 can organize and protect the cables connected to the slide table 4, preventing the cables from getting tangled or worn during the reciprocating motion of the slide table 4.

[0049] In this embodiment, the light source frame 6 is provided with locking plates 61 at both ends. The locking plates 61 are located on the outside of the light source bracket 5 and are securely locked to the light source bracket 5 with bolts. This installation method facilitates the disassembly and replacement of the light source frame 6 and is beneficial for later maintenance.

[0050] In addition, a power controller 12 is installed on the fixed bracket 2, which is used to precisely control the power supply to the light source. Through the linkage control between the power controller 12 and the drive component 3, the light source can be automatically turned on and off as the slide table 4 moves, further improving the automation level and ease of use of the device.

[0051] In use, the light source 7 can extend from the frame 1 and be located in the worktable 8 of the laser cutting equipment under the drive component 3, below the product 9 to be cut, providing sufficient and suitable light for visual photography; the drive component 3 can also retract the light source 7 into the frame 1 along with the slide table 4 to avoid damage to the light source during laser cutting.

[0052] This invention satisfies two different needs: laser cutting and visual inspection, by setting a retractable light source 7 inside the frame 1. It can avoid the light source problems caused by laser cutting and provide illumination services during visual inspection.

[0053] Obviously, the embodiments described above are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0054] It should be noted that the terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to this application.
