[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 2024118968519, filed on December 23, 2024, entitled "Laser Adjustment Device, Edge Sealing Method and Edge Sealing System", the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference in part. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of laser processing technology, and more specifically, to a laser adjustment device and an edge sealing system. Background Technology

[0004] Currently, traditional edge banding techniques can no longer meet market demands. To achieve better edge banding results and higher production efficiency, rectangular spot laser edge banding heads are typically used for material edge banding. The laser spot of a rectangular spot laser edge banding head can be evenly distributed on the edge banding strip, and during heating, the energy is uniform throughout the entire rectangular spot area, thus improving the edge banding effect.

[0005] However, the size of the rectangular laser spot output by the existing rectangular laser edge sealing head is fixed and cannot be adjusted. The heating range during edge sealing is small, which limits its application and makes it unsuitable for edge sealing needs of materials with different thicknesses. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the purpose of this application is to provide a laser adjustment device and an edge sealing system to improve the poor practicality of laser edge sealing in the prior art.

[0007] To address the aforementioned problems, in a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a laser adjustment device, the device comprising: an input component, a transmission component, an output component, and an adjustment component;

[0008] The input component, the transmission component, and the output component are sequentially connected and arranged along the optical transmission path;

[0009] The adjustment component connects the transmission component and the output component, and the adjustment component is used to control the first optical position of the transmission component on the light transmission path and the second optical position of the output component on the light transmission path.

[0010] The input component is used to input the initial laser beam into the transmission component;

[0011] The transmission component is used to control and transmit the shape and length of the initial laser spot based on the first optical position, so as to output the target spot to the output component; wherein, the length of the target spot is determined based on the thickness of the material to be sealed.

[0012] The output component is used to output the target light spot based on the second optical position.

[0013] In the above implementation process, the input component, transmission component, and output component are sequentially connected and arranged on the light transmission path to input, transmit, and output laser light. An adjustment component connected to the transmission and output components controls the two optical positions of the transmission and output components on the light transmission path. By adjusting the position of the transmission component, the shape and length of the initial laser spot are controlled and transmitted according to the actual thickness of the material to be sealed, thereby controlling the shape and size of the output target spot. By adjusting the position of the output component, the output position of the target spot is adjusted to obtain a target spot with a suitable shape and size and accurate position for edge sealing of the material. Using only one adjustment component to coordinate the positions of the transmission and output components effectively reduces the device and power costs required for laser adjustment, optimizes the laser edge sealing effect of the laser adjustment device, and improves the practicality and application range of edge sealing. It is suitable for laser edge sealing of various types of boards, meeting diverse edge sealing needs.

[0014] Optionally, the adjustment component includes: a driving member, a rotating member, a first moving member, and a second moving member;

[0015] The driving component is connected to the rotating component, and the driving component is used to control the rotating component to perform rotational movement;

[0016] The first moving part and the second moving part are sleeved on the rotating part, the first moving part is connected to the transmission component, and the second moving part is connected to the output component;

[0017] The rotating component adjusts the positions of the first moving component and the second moving component in the target direction by rotating; wherein, the target direction is the transmission direction of light in the transmission component.

[0018] In the above implementation process, to achieve coordinated control of the two optical positions of the transmission component and the output component along the light transmission path, the adjustment component may include a driving element that provides driving force, a rotating element that works in conjunction with the driving force to perform position adjustment, and two moving elements. The rotating element rotates under the drive of the driving element. The two moving elements are mounted on the rotating element and connected to the corresponding transmission component and output component, respectively. As the rotating element rotates, the positions of the two moving elements change in the target direction of light transmission, thereby moving the connected transmission component and output component to achieve position adjustment. By simultaneously adjusting the positions of the two moving elements with only one driving element, the positions of the transmission component and the output component can be coordinated, effectively reducing the device and power costs required for laser adjustment and improving the consistency and effectiveness of control during position adjustment.

[0019] Optionally, the surface of the rotating member is provided with a first thread and a second thread;

[0020] The first thread is disposed in the first region corresponding to the rotating member and the transmission component, and the second thread is disposed in the second region corresponding to the rotating member and the output component;

[0021] The inner wall of the first moving part is provided with the first thread, and the rotating part adjusts the first position of the first moving part in the target direction through the first thread;

[0022] The inner wall of the second moving member is provided with the second thread, and the rotating member adjusts the second position of the second moving member in the target direction through the second thread.

[0023] In the above implementation process, the surface of the rotating component is provided with two types of threads, and the inner walls of the two moving components are also provided with two corresponding threads. Through the interlocking of these threads, the positions of the two moving components in the target direction can be adjusted during rotation. Furthermore, due to the consistency of the rotating component's rotation, the distinct positions of the two moving components can be adjusted under linkage control based on the difference between the two types of threads. This allows for position adjustments of the transmission and output components with varying precision under linkage control, ensuring that the target light spot is output to the appropriate position for edge sealing while simultaneously achieving various light spot shapes and sizes. This effectively improves the effectiveness and accuracy of laser edge sealing.

[0024] Optionally, the first thread and the second thread are configured based on the optical characteristics of the light transmission path.

[0025] In the above implementation process, two types of threads can be designed according to the actual optical characteristics of the light transmission path. The two threads can be used to adjust the two moving speeds of the two moving parts in the target direction. Thus, under the linkage control, the two positions of the two moving parts on the rotating part can be determined according to the optical characteristics, and the position adjustments of the transmission component and the output component with different precision can be achieved respectively.

[0026] Optionally, the transmission component includes a lens device, and when the target light spot is rectangular, the lens device includes: a first type of lens and a second type of lens;

[0027] The first type of lens is connected to the first moving member, and the first moving member is used to adjust the first optical position of the first type of lens through the connection. The first type of lens is used to control the length of the target light spot through the first optical position.

[0028] The second type of lens is fixedly mounted on the light transmission path, and is used to control the width of the target light spot.

[0029] In the above implementation process, when the target light spot is rectangular, the transmission component can include a lens device with two types of lenses. The first type of lens is connected to a first moving member, so that the first moving member drives the connected first type of lens to move, thereby adjusting the first optical position of the first type of lens on the light transmission path. This movement of the first optical position adjusts and controls the length of the target light spot corresponding to the thickness of the material to be sealed. The second type of lens is fixedly set on the light transmission path to control the width of the target light spot, thereby outputting a target light spot with a consistent width but adjustable length. This allows for the output of target light spots of appropriate size and shape based on the actual thickness of the board material, enabling edge sealing processing of various types of boards, improving the practicality and application range of edge sealing, and meeting various edge sealing requirements.

[0030] Optionally, the transmission component further includes a focusing device;

[0031] In the light transmission path, the focusing device is disposed between the lens device and the output component. The focusing device is used to focus the target light spot output by the lens device and transmit the focused target light spot to the output component.

[0032] In the above implementation process, in order to improve the effectiveness of the target light spot, a focusing device can also be provided in the transmission component. The focusing device is located between the lens device and the output component to focus the target light spot and transmit the focused target light spot to the output component for processing, thereby concentrating the laser energy and effectively improving the quality and efficiency of laser edge sealing.

[0033] Optionally, the output component includes a reflective device and a protective device;

[0034] Along the light transmission path, the reflective device is disposed between the transmission component and the protective device;

[0035] The reflective device is connected to the second movable component, which is used to adjust the second optical position of the reflective device through the connection. The reflective device is used to control the output position of the target light spot through the second optical position; wherein, the output position corresponds to the edge-sealing area of ​​the material to be sealed.

[0036] The protective device is used to output the target light spot reflected by the reflective device.

[0037] In the above implementation process, the output component may include a reflective device and a protective device arranged sequentially. The reflective device is connected to a second moving component, which drives the connected reflective device to move, thereby adjusting the second optical position of the reflective device on the light transmission path. This movement of the second optical position controls the output position of the target light spot, ensuring that the target light spot is output to the area of ​​the material to be sealed for effective laser edge sealing. The position of the reflective device can be adjusted according to the actual area of ​​the material to be sealed, improving the accuracy of laser edge sealing. Furthermore, considering the potential generation of spatter, slag, and other impurities during laser edge sealing, a corresponding protective device is provided to protect the reflective device, reducing damage caused by impurities and ensuring that the reflective device can achieve normal and effective reflection, thus effectively improving the safety and accuracy of the device operation.

[0038] Optionally, the input component includes: a laser emitting device and a collimating device;

[0039] The laser emitting device is located at the starting point of the light transmission path, and the laser emitting device is used to emit the initial laser.

[0040] The collimating device is disposed between the laser emitting device and the transmission component. The collimating device is used to collimate the initial laser and transmit the collimated initial laser to the transmission component.

[0041] In the above implementation process, the input component may include a laser emitting device that emits the initial laser beam, and a collimating device that performs collimation processing on the initial laser beam to integrate the divergent light of the input initial laser beam into parallel light before transmitting it to the transmission component. This can effectively improve the uniformity of the laser beam energy distribution of the initial laser beam, reduce the loss and waste of laser energy, and improve the accuracy and efficiency of laser edge sealing.

[0042] Secondly, embodiments of this application provide an edge-sealing method, the method comprising:

[0043] The length of the target light spot is determined based on the thickness of the material to be sealed.

[0044] The initial laser beam is input to the transmission component via the input component;

[0045] By adjusting the components, based on the length of the target light spot, the first optical position of the transmission component on the light transmission path and the second optical position of the output component on the light transmission path are controlled in a coordinated manner.

[0046] The shape and length of the initial laser spot are controlled and transmitted based on the first optical position through the transmission component, so as to output the target laser spot to the output component;

[0047] The target light spot is output based on the second optical position through the output component.

[0048] In the above implementation process, the required length of the target laser spot can be determined first based on the thickness of the material to be sealed. Input laser, transmission laser, and output laser are respectively input, transmitted, and output laser by sequentially connecting the input component, transmission component, and output component on the light transmission path. The two optical positions of the transmission component and output component on the light transmission path are controlled by the adjustment component connected to the transmission component and output component. By adjusting the position of the transmission component, the shape and length of the initial laser spot transmitted are controlled and transmitted according to the actual thickness of the material to be sealed, thereby controlling the shape and size of the output target laser spot. By adjusting the position of the output component, the output position of the target laser spot is adjusted to obtain a target laser spot with a suitable shape and size and accurate position for sealing the material.

[0049] Thirdly, embodiments of this application also provide an edge sealing system, the system including the laser adjustment device described in any of the above claims.

[0050] In summary, the embodiments of this application provide a laser adjustment device and an edge sealing system. The positions of the transmission component and the output component are adjusted in conjunction with only one adjustment component, which effectively reduces the device cost and power cost required for laser adjustment. Furthermore, it optimizes the laser edge sealing effect of the laser adjustment device, improves the practicality and application range of edge sealing, and is suitable for laser edge sealing of various types of boards, meeting various edge sealing needs.

Detailed Implementation

[0056] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application.

[0057] The existing rectangular laser edge sealing head outputs a fixed and non-adjustable rectangular spot size, resulting in a small heating range during edge sealing and significant limitations in its application. It cannot meet the edge sealing needs of materials with varying thicknesses.

[0058] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a laser adjustment device, which can be of various types, such as a laser edge-sealing head, and can be installed in an edge-sealing system. This device can adjust the size of the output laser spot according to the thickness of the material to be edge-sealed, thereby performing edge-sealing processing on materials of different thicknesses and meeting various edge-sealing requirements.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a laser adjustment device provided in an embodiment of this application. The device may include: an input component 110, a transmission component 120, an output component 130, and an adjustment component 140.

[0060] It should be noted that, in order to realize the transmission and control of laser beams, a corresponding light transmission path A can be set in the laser adjustment device. The light transmission path A can be set as a straight line or a broken line light path according to actual needs. On the light transmission path A, the input component 110, the transmission component 120 and the output component 130 are connected in sequence to input, transmit and output the laser beams.

[0061] Optionally, the adjustment component 140 is connected to the transmission component 120 and the output component 130. The adjustment component 140 is used to control the first optical position of the transmission component 120 on the light transmission path A and the second optical position of the output component 130 on the light transmission path A. For example, the first end of the adjustment component 140 is connected to the transmission component 120, and the second end of the adjustment component 140 is connected to the output component 130. The adjustment component 140 may include various types of devices with position adjustment, such as a lead screw motor, a lead screw, a worm gear, or a worm.

[0062] The input component 110 is used to input an initial laser to the transmission component 120. The transmission component 120 is used to control and transmit the shape and length of the initial laser spot based on a first optical position, so as to output a target spot to the output component 130. The output component 130 is used to output the target spot based on a second optical position.

[0063] For example, the input component 110, the transmission component 120, and the output component 130 may include various types of lenses, protective mirrors, reflectors, and other devices to achieve the transmission and reflection of laser light.

[0064] It should be noted that the length of the target light spot is determined based on the thickness of the material to be sealed. By adjusting the position of the transmission component 120, the shape and length of the initial laser spot transmitted are controlled and transmitted according to the actual thickness of the material to be sealed, thereby controlling the shape and size of the output target light spot. By adjusting the position of the output component 130, the output position of the target light spot is adjusted to obtain a target light spot with a suitable shape and size and accurate position for sealing the material to be sealed.

[0065] For example, the output target spot can be a rectangular spot, a circular spot, or other different shapes. The length of the target spot can be the length in the thickness direction of the material to be sealed, such as the length of a rectangular spot or the diameter of a circular spot. The length of the target spot can be set to the same value as the thickness of the material to be sealed. For example, when the thickness of the material to be sealed is 15mm, the length of the target spot can also be set to 15mm by adjusting the position. This allows for overall laser edge sealing of the area to be sealed by moving the material to be sealed or by moving the target spot.

[0066] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the positions of the transmission component 120 and the output component 130 are adjusted in conjunction with only one adjustment component 140, which effectively reduces the device cost and power cost required for laser adjustment, optimizes the laser edge sealing effect of the laser adjustment device, and improves the practicality and application range of edge sealing processing. It is suitable for laser edge sealing processing of various types of boards and meets various edge sealing requirements.

[0067] Optionally, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a laser adjustment device provided in an embodiment of the present application. In order to control the two optical positions of the transmission component 120 and the output component 130 on the light transmission path A, the adjustment component 140 may include: a driving member 141, a rotating member 142, a first moving member 143 and a second moving member 144. That is, the adjustment component 140 may include a driving member 141 that provides driving force, a rotating member 142 and two moving members that work together under the action of driving force to adjust the position.

[0068] For example, the driving component 141 may include a device with driving function such as a worm gear or a stepper motor, and the rotating component 142 may include a device with rotational transmission function such as a lead screw or a motion shaft, such as a ball screw, and the two moving components may be configured as corresponding sliders or other structures.

[0069] Optionally, the driving component 141 is connected to the rotating component 142, and the driving component 141 controls the rotating component 142 to rotate. A first moving component 143 and a second moving component 144 are mounted on the rotating component 142. The first moving component 143 is connected to the transmission assembly 120, and the second moving component 144 is connected to the output assembly 130. The rotating component 142 adjusts the positions of the first moving component 143 and the second moving component 144 in the target direction B by rotating. Here, the target direction B is the direction of light transmission in the transmission assembly 120.

[0070] It should be noted that the rotating component 142 rotates under the drive of the driving component 141. Two moving components are mounted on the rotating component 142 and are respectively connected to the corresponding transmission component 120 and output component 130. When the rotating component 142 rotates, the positions of the two moving components in the target direction B of light transmission change, thereby driving the connected transmission component 120 and output component 130 to move and achieve position adjustment. By using only one driving component 141 to simultaneously adjust the positions of the two moving components, the positions of the transmission component 120 and output component 130 can be adjusted in a coordinated manner, effectively reducing the device and power costs required for laser adjustment and improving the consistency and effectiveness of control during position adjustment.

[0071] It should be noted that, in order to adjust the position of the two moving parts in the target direction B while the rotating part 142 is rotating, the surface of the rotating part 142 may be provided with a first thread 1421 and a second thread 1422.

[0072] Optionally, the first thread 1421 is disposed in the first region corresponding to the rotating member 142 and the transmission component 120, and the second thread 1422 is disposed in the second region corresponding to the rotating member 142 and the output component 130. For example, the first region can be the first end of the rotating member 142 near the starting point of the light transmission path A, and the second region can be the second end of the rotating member 142 away from the starting point of the light transmission path A.

[0073] Correspondingly, the inner wall of the first moving member 143 is provided with a first thread 1421, and the rotating member 142 adjusts the first moving member 143 to a first position in the target direction B through the first thread 1421. The inner wall of the second moving member 144 is provided with a second thread 1422, and the rotating member 142 adjusts the second moving member 144 to a second position in the target direction B through the second thread 1422.

[0074] By providing two corresponding threads on the surface of the rotating component 142 and the inner walls of the two moving components, the two positions of the two moving components in the target direction B can be adjusted during rotation through the interlocking of the threads.

[0075] It should be noted that the first thread 1421 and the second thread 1422 can be set to two different types of threads or the same type of threads, depending on the actual situation. Due to the consistency of rotation of the rotating component 142, different threads can be set for the two components. Based on the difference between the two threads, under linkage control, differentiated position adjustments can be made to the two moving components. This allows for position adjustments of the transmission component 120 and the output component 130 with different precision under linkage control. This ensures that while achieving various shapes and sizes of light spot adjustment functions, the target light spot can be output to the appropriate position for edge sealing, effectively improving the effectiveness and accuracy of laser edge sealing.

[0076] Optionally, when the threads are engaged to achieve movement, the first moving part 143 and the second moving part 144 can move in opposite directions or in the same direction. The movement direction of the two moving parts can also be controlled by different rotation directions, such as clockwise or counterclockwise. The specific movement direction can be selected and set based on the optical characteristics of multiple devices in the light transmission path A.

[0077] It should be noted that the first thread 1421 and the second thread 1422 are designed based on the optical characteristics of the light transmission path A. The two threads can be designed according to the actual optical characteristics of the light transmission path A, so that the two moving parts can be adjusted at two different speeds in the target direction B through the two threads. Thus, under linked control, the two positions of the two moving parts on the rotating part 142 can be determined according to the optical characteristics, thereby achieving different precision position adjustments for the transmission component 120 and the output component 130.

[0078] Optionally, the optical characteristics in the light transmission path A may include various characteristics such as the transmission length and transmission angle of the laser light. Based on the optical characteristics, various parameters such as the overall length, tooth pitch, and shape of the two threads in the target direction B can be adjusted to adjust the moving speed of the two moving parts through the threads.

[0079] For example, in order to achieve different adjustment accuracies, the pitch ratio of the first thread 1421 and the second thread 1422 can be set to 1.25:1. Under this structure, the ratio of the first moving speed and the second moving speed of the first moving member 143 and the second moving member 144 in the target direction B is also 1.25:1.

[0080] Optionally, the transmission component 120 may include a lens device for transmitting laser light. When the target light spot is rectangular, the lens device may include a first type of lens 121 and a second type of lens 122.

[0081] The first type of lens 121 is connected to the first moving member 143. The first moving member 143 is used to adjust the first optical position of the first type of lens 121 through the connection. The first type of lens 121 is used to control the length of the target light spot through the first optical position. The first moving member 143 drives the connected first type of lens 121 to move, thereby adjusting the first optical position of the first type of lens 121 on the light transmission path A. The length of the target light spot corresponding to the thickness of the material to be sealed is adjusted and controlled by the movement of the first optical position. The second type of lens 122 is fixedly set on the light transmission path A. The second type of lens 122 is used to control the width of the target light spot. It can output a target light spot with a consistent width but an adjustable length, so as to output a target light spot of appropriate size and shape according to the actual thickness of the material to perform edge sealing treatment on various types of materials, improving the practicality and application range of edge sealing treatment and meeting various edge sealing requirements.

[0082] For example, the first type of lens 121 may be provided with a corresponding lens mounting base, and the first moving member 143 may be connected to the lens mounting base to realize motion control.

[0083] Optionally, the first type of lens 121 and the second type of lens 122 can be lens modules of various types and quantities, such as a cylindrical array lens module containing multiple array lenses.

[0084] It should be noted that the length of the target spot is the same as the thickness of the material to be sealed, and the width of the target spot is the same as the side length. That is, the length and width of the target spot are just names for a specific side length, and are not exactly the same as the general definition of the length and width of a rectangle.

[0085] It should be noted that, considering the variety of lengths of the edge-sealing area of ​​the material to be sealed, in order to reduce the complexity of the device and the cost of the equipment during laser adjustment, the edge sealing process can be achieved by moving the material to be sealed while the target spot is stationary, or by moving the target spot while the material is stationary, or by moving them together.

[0086] Optionally, to improve the effectiveness of the target light spot, the transmission component 120 may further include a focusing device 123. On the light transmission path A, the focusing device 123 is disposed between the lens device and the output component 130. The focusing device 123 is used to focus the target light spot output by the lens device and transmit the focused target light spot to the output component 130. The focusing device 123 is disposed between the lens device and the output component 130 to focus the target light spot and transmit the focused target light spot to the output component 130 for processing, thereby concentrating the laser energy and effectively improving the quality and efficiency of laser edge sealing.

[0087] Optionally, the focusing device 123 may include various types and numbers of focusing lenses.

[0088] By focusing the laser spot on the target area, a tighter bond between the edge banding tape and the material to be edge-sealed can be ensured. Since the polymer coating is the same color as the edge banding tape's surface material, a visually seamless bond can be achieved after pressing. It also rapidly activates the functional layer of the edge banding tape, making the entire edge-sealing process faster and more efficient. Precise control of the laser's action area and time avoids overheating or underheating, ensuring uniform melting and curing of the edge banding tape and improving the overall quality of the edge sealing.

[0089] Optionally, the output component 130 may include a reflective device 131 and a protective device 132. On the light transmission path A, the reflective device 131 is disposed between the transmission component 120 and the protective device 132. The reflective device 131 is connected to a second moving member 144, which adjusts the second optical position of the reflective device 131 via the connection. The reflective device 131 controls the output position of the target light spot through the second optical position. The protective device 132 outputs the target light spot reflected by the reflective device 131.

[0090] For example, the reflector 131 may be provided with a corresponding reflector mounting base, and the second moving member 144 may be connected to the reflector mounting base to realize motion control.

[0091] Optionally, the reflective device 131 may include various types and numbers of reflective mirror modules, and the reflection angle of the reflective device 131 may be set and adjusted according to the actual situation of the light transmission path A. The protective device 132 may include various types and numbers of protective mirrors.

[0092] It should be noted that the output position corresponds to the edge-sealing area of ​​the material to be edge-sealed. For example, the output position can be based on the lower edge of the edge-sealing area, thus achieving a correspondence between the output position and the edge-sealing area. The second moving component 144 drives the connected reflective device 131 to move, adjusting the second optical position of the reflective device 131 on the light transmission path A. This movement of the second optical position controls the output position of the target light spot, ensuring that the target light spot is output to the edge-sealing area of ​​the material to be edge-sealed for effective laser edge-sealing. The position of the reflective device 131 can be adjusted according to the actual edge-sealing area of ​​the material to be edge-sealed to improve the accuracy of laser edge-sealing. Furthermore, considering the potential generation of impurities such as spatter and slag during laser edge-sealing, a corresponding protective device 132 is provided to protect the reflective device 131, reducing damage caused by impurities and ensuring that the reflective device 131 can achieve normal and effective reflection, effectively improving the safety and accuracy of the device operation.

[0093] Optionally, the input component 110 may include a laser emitting device 111 and a collimating device 112. The laser emitting device 111 is positioned at the starting point of the light transmission path A and is used to emit an initial laser beam. The collimating device 112 is positioned between the laser emitting device 111 and the transmission component 120 and is used to collimate the initial laser beam and transmit the collimated initial laser beam to the transmission component 120. By integrating the divergent light of the initial laser beam input to the collimating device 112 into parallel light before transmitting it to the transmission component 120 for processing, the uniformity of the laser beam energy distribution of the initial laser beam is effectively improved, reducing laser energy loss and waste, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of laser edge sealing.

[0094] For example, the laser emitting device 111 may include structures such as an optical fiber interface, and the collimating device 112 may protect corresponding different types and quantities of collimating protection mirrors, collimating mirrors and other modules.

[0095] For example, after the device is powered on, an initial laser beam can be emitted through the laser emitting device 111. The initial laser beam first passes through the collimating protection lens module of the collimating device 112 and reaches the collimating lens module. After receiving the laser beam, the collimating lens module integrates the divergent light of the initial laser beam into a parallel light beam, which is then directed towards the columnar array lens module in the lens device of the transmission component 120. After being integrated by the columnar array lens module, the target light spot is obtained and then directed towards the focusing device 123. The focusing lens device focuses the beam and directs it towards the 45° reflecting device 131. The light outlet cover is opened, and the 45° reflecting lens device then reflects the focused target light spot through the protection device 132 and the light outlet.

[0096] For example, during the position adjustment process, the controller can be connected to the drive unit 141 in the adjustment component 140 via an external connection or an internally set controller. Taking the first type of lens 121 as being located near the input component 110 and the second type of lens 122 as being located near the output component 130, the controller can control the drive unit 141 to drive the rotating component 142 to rotate clockwise. At this time, the first moving component 143 is connected to the lens mounting base, and the first type of lens 121 is fixed in the lens mounting base. The first moving component 143 moves the first type of lens 121 along the target direction B and approaches the second type of lens 122. At this time, the initial laser is integrated by the lens device to obtain an enlarged target light spot and is directed towards the focusing device 123. At the same time, the second moving component 144 is connected to the reflector mounting base, which drives the reflector mounting base and the reflector device 131 therein to move in the opposite direction of the target direction B, approach the focusing device 123, and reflect the target light spot out. The output position of the target light spot is aligned with the area to be sealed.

[0097] Alternatively, the controller controls the drive component 141 to drive the rotating component 142 to rotate counterclockwise. At this time, the first moving component 143 is connected to the lens mounting base, and the first type of lens 121 is fixed in the lens mounting base. The first moving component 143 moves the first type of lens 121 in the opposite direction of the target direction B, away from the second type of lens 122. At this time, the initial laser is integrated by the lens device to obtain a smaller target light spot and is shot towards the focusing device 123. The second moving component 144 is connected to the reflector mounting base, which drives the reflector mounting base and the reflector 131 therein to move along the target direction B, away from the focusing device 123, and reflects the target light spot out. The output position of the target light spot is aligned with the area to be sealed.

[0098] Optionally, the controller can be an electronic device with logic computing functions, such as a server, personal computer (PC), tablet computer, smartphone, or personal digital assistant (PDA), which can send corresponding motion commands to the drive unit 141 according to the actual situation of the material to be sealed.

[0099] It should be noted that the laser adjustment device may also include external structures such as a housing, various types of cover plates, light inlet, and light outlet. In this embodiment, multiple components or devices can be fixed to the housing of the laser adjustment device by fasteners such as screws, nuts, and buckles.

[0100] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a flowchart illustrating a sealing method provided in an embodiment of this application. The method may include steps S210-S250.

[0101] Step S210: Determine the length of the target light spot based on the thickness of the material to be sealed.

[0102] The controller can determine the thickness of the material to be sealed by means of thickness detection equipment or parameter query, and determine the length of the target light spot based on the thickness, so as to determine the motion command for motion control of the adjustment component based on the length of the target light spot.

[0103] Step S220: Input the initial laser to the transmission component via the input component.

[0104] Step S230: By adjusting the components, based on the length of the target light spot, the first optical position of the transmission component and the second optical position of the output component on the light transmission path are controlled in conjunction.

[0105] In step S240, the shape and length of the initial laser spot are controlled and transmitted based on the first optical position through the transmission component, so as to output the target spot to the output component.

[0106] Step S250: Output the target light spot based on the second optical position through the output component.

[0107] The system involves sequentially connecting an input component, a transmission component, and an output component along the light transmission path to input, transmit, and output laser beams, respectively. An adjustment component connected to the transmission and output components controls their two optical positions along the light transmission path. By adjusting the position of the transmission component, the shape and length of the initial laser beam are controlled and transmitted according to the actual thickness of the material to be sealed, thereby controlling the shape and size of the output target beam. Similarly, by adjusting the position of the output component, the output position of the target beam is adjusted to obtain a target beam with a suitable shape and size, and accurate positioning, for edge sealing of the material.
