Background technology
Along with the fast development of laser marking technology and the requirement of product mark quality more and more higher, acousto-optic modulator is more and more wider as the application of a kind of passive device in pulse optical fiber.At present, when product laser marking, traditional method is, in laser marking machine inside, red-light source is housed, and a catoptron is housed in laser head inside, and adjustment mirror angle, exports photochromic hot spot, the location before utilizing this red hot spot to carry out mark.This method needs often to adjust catoptron, cumbersome, and the invisible light hot spot being not easy to ensure that mark is used and red hot spot overlap completely.
Summary of the invention
The object of the invention is to the weak point overcoming the problems referred to above, and a kind of novel acousto-optic modulator utilizing visible ray to locate is provided.Acousto-optic modulator of the present invention has the input of two collimating apparatuss and a collimating apparatus output, by the output state of switch control rule visible ray and invisible light.
Technical scheme of the present invention is:
A kind of novel acousto-optic modulator possessing visible ray function, comprise housing, diffraction light input tail optical fiber and first collimator, visible ray input tail optical fiber and the second collimating apparatus, export tail optical fiber and the 3rd collimating apparatus, acousto-optic crsytal, it is characterized in that: acousto-optic crsytal is arranged on enclosure interior near middle position, diffraction light input tail optical fiber is connected with first collimator, visible ray input tail optical fiber is connected with the second collimating apparatus, and first collimator, the second collimating apparatus are placed on acousto-optic crsytal light path input side; 3rd collimating apparatus is placed on acousto-optic crsytal light path outgoing side, exports tail optical fiber and is connected with the 3rd collimating apparatus.
Drive source close time, second collimating apparatus input visible ray after acousto-optic crsytal, the 3rd collimating apparatus can be coupled into, and the 3rd collimating apparatus back through, through acousto-optic crsytal, also can be coupled into first collimator.
When drive source is opened, first collimator input laser after acousto-optic crsytal, the 3rd collimating apparatus can be coupled into, and the 3rd collimating apparatus back through, through acousto-optic crsytal, also can be coupled into first collimator.
Two, the left and right end face of acousto-optic crsytal of the present invention all requires the anti-reflection film plating 1064nm and visible wavelength used.
First collimator, the second collimating apparatus are merged into a collimating apparatus by the present invention, and diffraction light input tail optical fiber, visible ray input tail optical fiber are connected with same collimating apparatus.
Compared with traditional mark localization method, the present invention has the following advantages: one, more accurate positioning, the present invention directly increases visible ray function in laser instrument inside, visible ray and laser are reached overlap consistent, and classic method adds positioning function in machine exterior, be difficult to ensure that visible ray overlaps with laser; Two, reliable and stable, traditional visible ray localization method, often along with machine uses for a long time, visible ray location spot can offset, the long period is needed to reorientate, greatly reduce the stability of mark quality, and the present invention goes out, so there is not this problem due to visible ray from laser instrument internal emission; Three, cost is low, and the present invention adds a collimating apparatus on Conventional acousto-optic device just can realize visible ray positioning function, and cost is well below classic method, and this method can find mark facula position rapidly and accurately, makes the structure of laser head more simple.The present invention, on a kind of device, realizes two kinds of functions simultaneously, and method is simple, and workable, cost is low.Before this, the introduction of similar approach of being correlated with both at home and abroad.

Embodiment
The invention will be further described by reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in Figure 1, the present invention includes housing 100, diffraction light input tail optical fiber 101 and first collimator 102, visible ray input tail optical fiber 103 and the second collimating apparatus 104, export tail optical fiber 105 and the 3rd collimating apparatus 106, acousto-optic crsytal 107, it is characterized in that: it is inner near middle position that acousto-optic crsytal 107 is arranged on housing 100, diffraction light input tail optical fiber 101 is connected with first collimator 102, visible ray input tail optical fiber 103 is connected with the second collimating apparatus 104, and first collimator 102, second collimating apparatus 104 is placed on acousto-optic crsytal 107 light path input side; 3rd collimating apparatus 106 is placed on acousto-optic crsytal 107 light path outgoing side, exports tail optical fiber 105 and is connected with the 3rd collimating apparatus 106.Drive source close time, the second collimating apparatus 104 inputs visible ray after acousto-optic crsytal 107, can be coupled into the 3rd collimating apparatus 106, and the 3rd collimating apparatus 106 back through, through acousto-optic crsytal 107, also can be coupled into first collimator 102; When drive source is opened, first collimator 102 inputs laser after acousto-optic crsytal 107, can be coupled into the 3rd collimating apparatus 106, and the 3rd collimating apparatus 106 back through, through acousto-optic crsytal 107, also can be coupled into first collimator 102.
First collimator 102, second collimating apparatus 104 also can be merged into a collimating apparatus by the present invention, and diffraction light input tail optical fiber 101, visible ray input tail optical fiber 103 are connected with same collimating apparatus.
