Laser Scanner Lens Mount With Dual Adapters for Rigidity

The patent introduces a first adapter and a second adapter as separate intermediate components between the lens unit and the optical scanner. The first adapter is coupled to the lens unit, and the second adapter is coupled to the optical scanner, dividing the direct connection into segmented sections. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and distributes the mechanical load across multiple coupling points, thereby improving rigidity without significantly increasing overall device complexity.

The first adapter and second adapter serve as intermediary components that mediate the mechanical connection between the lens unit and the optical scanner. These adapters act as buffer elements that distribute stress and prevent direct stress concentration on the optical scanner or lens unit mounting points, thus improving the overall rigidity and stability of the laser processing apparatus.

The connection system is segmented into multiple adapters (first adapter coupled to lens unit, second adapter coupled to optical scanner) rather than using a single adapter. This segmentation creates multiple coupling interfaces that distribute mechanical stress more effectively, enhancing the reliability and mechanical stability of the overall system.

The first and second adapters are designed beforehand to cushion and absorb mechanical stresses before they can affect the optical scanner or lens unit. By providing this protective cushioning in advance through the adapter structure, the system prevents potential mechanical instability and extends the reliability of the laser processing apparatus.
