Detailed description of the invention
As it is shown in figure 1, the laser fiber head adjusting means of horizontal X Y-direction independent regulation of the present invention, including regulation Box 1 and longitudinally through the support post 2 being arranged in damper box 1 periphery through hole, support post 2 is by being arranged on damper box 1 side Jackscrew 3 in wall is fixed, and support post 2 lower end is screwed onto on main equipment.Above-mentioned damper box 1 uses movable top lid, passes through spiral shell Upper cover is fixed together by nail with damper box 1 sidewall.Covering in damper box 1 and offer perforate, left and right sidewall is in the horizontal direction Correspondence offers Long Circle through hole 101, and base plate offers lower perforate, lower perforate outer sheath be provided be positioned at damper box 1 base plate and Cone between main equipment.This cone is fabricated structure, including the upper screening being set in together by lock screw 401 Light cylinder 402 and lower cone 403, upper cone 402 is connected on damper box 1 base plate in the draw-in groove offered.Specifically, upper shading It is provided with, on cylinder 402, the longitudinal chute matched with lock screw 401, lower cone 403 is provided with and lock screw 401 phase The screwed hole coordinated, when the regulation of upper and lower cone 402,403 is to appropriate length, specifically connects position with lock screw 401 is fixing Put.Additionally, may be used without other connected modes, such as the upper and lower cone 402,403 being threaded connection, can change by rotating Become its overall length.Use the cone of combinations thereof formula structure, it can be ensured that it is located exactly at damper box 1 base plate and main body sets Between Bei, it is to avoid light leakage phenomena occurs.
As in Figure 2-4, be provided with in damper box 1 the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction and be positioned at the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction for installing optical fiber head X to slide block 6.X is provided with the upper port extended to cover in damper box 1 outside perforate to slide block 6 main body top, in upper port Being arranged with the baffle plate 7 between slide block 6 main body at damper box 1 upper cover and X, X is provided with to slide block 6 bottom part body and is positioned at Y-direction Lower port in sliding chamber 5 base plate perforate.Above-mentioned baffle plate 7 can be used for preventing extraneous dust from falling in damper box 1 at slide block 6 from X.
As shown in Figure 3,4, X is provided with X to slide mechanism 8, Y-direction cunning on the contact surface in slide block 6 main body and Y-direction cunning chamber 5 Be provided with Y-direction slide mechanism 9 on the contact surface of chamber 5 and damper box 1, make X to slide block 6 can in the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction linearly left and right move Dynamic, the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction linearly moves forward and backward to slide block 6 entirety in damper box 1 together with X.Usually, X is to slide mechanism 8 and Y Sliding rail is used to slide mechanism 9.As it is shown on figure 3, Y-direction slide mechanism 9 is positioned at the diapire of damper box 1 and chamber 5 sliding with Y-direction thereof Contact surface on.As shown in Figure 4,5, X is arranged on the X sidewall to slide block 6 and diapire to slide mechanism 8 and slides contacting of chamber 5 with Y-direction On face, improve mobile smooth degree with this.
As Figure 1-3, X is respectively arranged with to slide block 6 arranged on left and right sides and is screwed onto in the sidewall of Y-direction sliding chamber 5 and extends to institute State the X outside Long Circle through hole 101 to adjusting screw rod 10 and X to tie down screw 11, and X is to the sliding chamber 5 of slide block 6 right side wall and Y-direction X it is installed with to stage clip 12 between right side wall.
As shown in Fig. 1,2,4, Y-direction sliding chamber 5 front and rear sides is respectively arranged with and is screwed onto in damper box 1 sidewall and extends to It is installed with Y between outside Y-direction adjusting screw rod 13 and Y-direction tie down screw 14, and sliding chamber 5 rear wall of Y-direction and damper box 1 rear wall To stage clip 15.
For convenience X to adjusting screw rod 10, X to stage clip 12, Y-direction adjusting screw rod 13 and the installation of Y-direction stage clip 15, X to Mounting groove is offered respectively on the relevant position in slide block 6 and the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction.
During use, support post 2 lower end is screwed onto on main equipment.When needing the height regulating optical fiber head, unclamp Jackscrew 3, after damper box 1 is moved to desired location along support post 2, fixes with jackscrew 3, then regulates the length of cone, Cone lower end is made to contact with main equipment.Optical fiber head is carried out horizontal X when regulation, rotates X to adjusting screw rod 10, X to Slide block 6, under it promotes, moves linearly to the right along X to slide mechanism 8, and compression X is to stage clip 12 simultaneously;Reversely rotate X to regulation During screw rod 10, X releases energy to stage clip 12, promotes X to move linearly to the left to slide mechanism 8 along X to slide block 6;X adjusts to slide block 6 Whole after correct position, screw X to tie down screw 11, be fixed.When optical fiber head is carried out the regulation of horizontal Y-direction, rotate Y-direction and adjust Joint screw rod 13, the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction, under it promotes, moves along a straight line along Y-direction slide mechanism 9, simultaneously compression Y-direction stage clip 15 backward;Reversely When rotating Y-direction adjusting screw rod 13, Y-direction stage clip 15 releases energy, and promotes the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction along Y-direction slide mechanism 9 straight forward movement; After the sliding chamber 5 of Y-direction is adjusted to correct position, screws Y-direction tie down screw 14, be fixed.X slides chamber to slide block 6 with Y-direction during this period 5 move forward and backward, meanwhile, X to adjusting screw rod 10 and X before tie down screw 11 is in damper box about 1 sidewall Long Circle through hole 101 Rear movement.
Present invention achieves laser fiber head independent regulation of X and Y both direction in horizontal operation face, when carrying out position When putting adjustment, be arranged on X optical fiber head in slide block can be respectively along predetermined trajectory X to linear motion and Y-direction move along a straight line, Separate, do not interfere with each other, with this realize optical fiber head quick, be accurately positioned, and utilize locking mechanism that this operating position is entered Row is fixing, it is ensured that accuracy during operation equipment, decreases the optical fiber head operating position change etc. caused because of extraneous false touch and misses Operation.At the same time it can also be the height manually moving damper box achieves the focusing function of light path focal length, completely solve sharp Light device optical fiber head LASER Light Source orientation problem at work.Additionally, use adjustable type cone, easy to adjust, stop leakage The inaccurate problem of assay that optical phenomenon causes.
