The laser 10 is used to emit a laser beam that acts on a work piece 70 to perform laser drilling processing. Optionally, the laser 10 is a carbon dioxide laser emitting a laser beam with a wavelength belonging to the infrared band, preferably with a wavelength of 9.2 μm, 9.4 μm or 10.6 μm.
In this embodiment, as shown in fig. 1 to 3, the light splitting assembly 20 includes a beam shaping unit 21, a beam expanding and collimating unit 22, a diaphragm 223, and a light splitter 23, which are sequentially arranged along the optical path direction.
Referring to fig. 1 and 2, the beam shaping unit 21 changes the laser beam a emitted from the laser 10 into a flat-topped laser beam b to make the cross-sectional energy density distribution of the laser beam uniform.
Optionally, the beam shaping unit 21 includes a plano-concave lens 211 and a first plano-convex lens 212 (fig. 2) sequentially arranged along the optical path direction. The plane of the plano-concave lens 211 and the plane of the first plano-convex lens 212 are arranged in a deviating manner, and the concave surface of the plano-concave lens 211 and the convex surface of the first plano-convex lens 212 are arranged in an opposite manner. The beam shaping unit 21 formed by combining the plano-concave lens 211 and the first plano-convex lens 212 has a simple structure, is easy to regulate and control laser beams, and is easy to implement.
Referring to fig. 1 and 3, the beam expanding and collimating unit 22 expands and collimates the flat-topped laser beam b emitted from the beam shaping unit 21, and includes a second plano-convex lens 221 and a third plano-convex lens 222 sequentially arranged along the optical path direction. The convex surface of the second plano-convex lens 221 and the convex surface of the third plano-convex lens 222 are disposed away from each other, and the plane of the second plano-convex lens 221 and the plane of the third plano-convex lens 222 are disposed opposite to each other. Optionally, the distance between the second plano-convex lens 221 and the third plano-convex lens 222 is adjustable.
In this embodiment, the beam expanding and collimating unit 22 uses the second plano-convex lens 221 and the third plano-convex lens 222 to cooperate with each other, so as to implement beam expanding and collimating of the laser beam. In particular, the second plano-convex lens 221 and the third plano-convex lens 222 are adjustably arranged, and when the distance between the second plano-convex lens 221 and the third plano-convex lens 222 is shortened, the diameter of the laser beam emitted from the third plano-convex lens 222 becomes smaller; when the distance between the second plano-convex lens 221 and the third plano-convex lens 222 increases, the diameter of the laser beam emitted from the third plano-convex lens 222 increases, and beam expansion and collimation of the laser beam are realized.
Referring to fig. 3, the diaphragm 223 has a diaphragm hole for limiting the diameter of the laser beam emitted from the beam expanding and collimating unit 22 and making the emitted laser beam c incident on the beam splitter 23. Optionally, the iris 223 has a plurality of iris holes with different sizes.

Further, the diaphragm 223 includes a rotary light screen, and the rotary light screen has various diaphragm holes with different sizes, and the various diaphragm holes are circumferentially disposed on the rotary light screen.

Specifically, the laser beam c is incident on the beam splitter 23, and the beam splitter 23 splits the laser beam c into two branched laser beams with equal energy, namely, a branched laser beam d and a branched laser beam e. In this embodiment, optionally, the beam splitter 23 is a beam splitter.

The laser beams of the first processing module and the second processing module respectively act on the processed workpiece 70 to realize laser drilling processing.
Each functional unit module is used for changing the attribute of the laser beam so as to obtain better laser drilling effect. In the optical path system, the positions of the functional unit modules may be changed according to specific situations, for example, in another embodiment, the beam expanding and collimating unit 22, the beam shaping unit 21, the diaphragm 223, and the beam splitter 23 are sequentially arranged along the optical path direction.
Of course, it should be understood by those skilled in the art that the dual laser beam drilling system further includes an optical path transmission unit 24. Specifically, in the present embodiment, the optical path transmission unit 24 is an optical fiber, and the optical fiber can transmit the laser beam emitted from the laser 10 and make the laser beam incident on the beam shaping unit 21, so that the transmission of the laser beam can be realized. Further, in the optical path system, the optical path transmission unit 24 is further configured to transmit the branched laser beam d and the branched laser beam e to the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 and the second galvanometer scanning unit 32, respectively, so as to implement laser beam transmission.
In the technical scheme of the invention, the laser beam emitted by the laser 10 is changed into a flat-top laser beam through the beam shaping unit 21, so that the energy density distribution of the laser beam is uniform, and the flat-top laser beam is divided into two branch laser beams with equal energy, which are used for respectively acting on a workpiece to be processed to realize laser drilling processing. The two laser beams are simultaneously applied to laser drilling processing, on one hand, the laser drilling processing efficiency is improved, and on the other hand, the energy density distribution of the two laser beams is uniform and the energy is equal, so that the consistency of the two laser beams is ensured, the uniformity of the laser drilling quality is strong, and the quality is good.
Further, with continued reference to fig. 1, the dual laser beam drilling system further includes a controller 40. The laser 10, the first processing module and the second processing module are respectively connected to the controller 40, and are controlled by the controller 40 to operate in different states.
Specifically, the laser 10 is configured to emit a laser beam that is applied to the work 70 to perform laser drilling processing. The controller 40 controls the working state of the laser 10, for example, the laser 10 is turned on or off, and the laser beam parameters output by the laser 10 specifically include energy, frequency, pulse width, and the like.
In this embodiment, the first processing module includes a first galvanometer scanning unit 31, a first processing platform 61, and a first positioning unit 51. The first processing platform 61 is movably arranged and used for fixedly placing a processed workpiece 70. Alternatively, the first processing platform 61 is a vacuum adsorption processing platform, and the vacuum adsorption processing platform can adsorb the workpiece 70, so that the workpiece 70 can be fixedly placed.
The first positioning unit 51 is used for acquiring the position of the workpiece 70 on the first processing platform 61 and feeding the position back to the controller 40. The controller 40 controls the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 to perform laser drilling on the workpiece 70 according to the position of the workpiece 70.
Specifically, the first positioning unit 51 includes a ccd (charge coupled device) camera, a coaxial light source and a ring light source. The CCD camera is used for acquiring the position of the workpiece 70 on the first processing platform 61 and feeding back to the controller 40, and the coaxial light source and the annular light source provide light sources for the CCD camera so as to be able to identify the position of the workpiece 70. The annular light source is equipped to recognize the outer target better, the coaxial light source is equipped to recognize the inner target better, and the two kinds of light sources can meet the requirements under various conditions. The first positioning unit 51 can accurately determine the position of the workpiece 70 and feed the position back to the controller 40, so as to realize automatic and controlled laser drilling.
Further, the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 moves along the X axis and the Y axis for scanning and processing, and the first processing platform 61 can move along the X axis and the Y axis. In the present embodiment, the X-axis and the Y-axis are perpendicular to each other and in the same plane.
In this embodiment, when the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 moves along the X axis and the Y axis for scanning, the laser beam spot acting point deviates from the original position by a certain distance S, and the first processing platform 61 can move in the opposite directions along the X axis and the Y axis to compensate the distance S between the laser beam spot acting point in the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 and the original position, so that the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 repeatedly performs multiple laser drilling processes on the processing point on the same workpiece 70.
Specifically, one laser scanning drilling process on the same processing point of the workpiece 70 is not enough to meet the drilling process requirement, and therefore, the embodiment of the present invention provides a method: the machining point of the same workpiece 70 is subjected to laser scanning drilling machining for a plurality of times so as to meet the drilling machining requirement. In multiple laser scanning drilling processes, precise and repeated positioning of the machining point of the workpiece 70 is of critical importance, especially in high-density, fine drilling processes.
Therefore, the first processing module in the embodiment of the present invention further includes a first position detector 81. The first position detector 81 is configured to detect a position movement amount of the first processing platform 61 and feed back the position movement amount to the controller 40, and the controller 40 may control the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 to perform laser drilling on the workpiece 70 on the first processing platform 61 according to the position movement amount of the first processing platform 61.
In one embodiment, when the linear driving mechanism drives the first processing platform 61 to move along the X-axis and the Y-axis, the linear encoder outputs a pulse every time the first processing platform 61 moves by a minute distance unit, and the first position detector 81 counts the pulse and feeds back the counted value to the controller 40, thereby detecting the amount of position movement of the first processing platform 61.
Of course, in another embodiment, when the servo motor changes the rotational motion into the linear motion to drive the first processing platform 61 to move along the X-axis and the Y-axis, each time the servo motor rotates by a minute angle unit, the rotary encoder outputs a pulse, and the first position detector 81 counts the pulse and feeds back the counted value to the controller 40, thereby detecting the position and movement amount of the first processing platform 61.
In a specific system configuration, other types of position detectors may be used to detect the amount of position movement of the first processing platform 61.
In this embodiment, the first position detector 81 is added to the first processing module to detect the position movement of the first processing platform 61, so that the controller 40 can better control the first galvanometer scanning unit 31 to repeatedly perform multiple laser drilling processes on a processing point on the same workpiece 70, thereby achieving precise laser drilling processes.
Similarly, the second processing module includes a second galvanometer scanning unit 32, a second processing platform 62 and a second positioning unit 52. The second processing platform 62 is movably disposed for fixedly placing a workpiece 70. Alternatively, the second processing platform 62 is a vacuum adsorption processing platform, which can adsorb the workpiece 70, so that the workpiece 70 can be fixedly placed.
The second positioning unit 52 is configured to acquire a position of the workpiece 70 on the second processing platform 62 and feed the position back to the controller 40. The controller 40 controls the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 to perform laser drilling on the workpiece 70 according to the position of the workpiece 70.
Specifically, the second positioning unit 52 includes a ccd (charge coupled device) camera, a coaxial light source and an annular light source. The CCD camera is used to acquire the position of the workpiece 70 on the second processing platform 62 and feed back the position to the controller 40, and the coaxial light source and the annular light source provide light sources for the CCD camera so as to be able to identify the position of the workpiece 70. The annular light source is equipped to recognize the outer target better, the coaxial light source is equipped to recognize the inner target better, and the two kinds of light sources can meet the requirements under various conditions. The second positioning unit 52 can accurately determine the position of the workpiece 70 and feed the position back to the controller 40, so as to realize automatic and controlled laser drilling.
Further, the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 moves for scanning and processing along the X axis and the Y axis, and the second processing platform 62 can move along the X axis and the Y axis. Optionally, the X-axis and the Y-axis are perpendicular to each other. In this embodiment, when the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 moves along the X axis and the Y axis for scanning, the laser beam spot acting point deviates from the original position by a certain distance S, and the second processing platform 62 can move in the opposite directions along the X axis and the Y axis to compensate the distance S between the laser beam spot acting point in the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 and the original position, so that the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 can repeatedly perform multiple laser drilling processes on the processing point on the same workpiece 70.
Further, the second processing module further comprises a second position detector 82. The second position detector 82 is configured to detect a position movement amount of the second processing platform 62 and feed back the position movement amount to the controller 40, and the controller 40 may control the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 to perform laser drilling on the workpiece 70 on the second processing platform 62 according to the position movement amount of the second processing platform 62.
Referring to the implementation manner of the first position detector 81, the second position detector 82 is configured to detect the position and movement amount of the second processing platform 62 and feed back the detected position and movement amount to the controller 40, and the implementation process is not repeated here.
In this embodiment, the second position detector 82 is added to the second processing module to detect the position movement of the second processing platform 62, so that the controller 40 can better control the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 to repeatedly perform multiple laser drilling processes on a processing point on the same workpiece 70, thereby achieving precise laser drilling processes.
Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1, the dual laser beam drilling system further includes a dust removal module 90. The dust removal module 90 is used for removing dust generated in the laser drilling process in time. Optionally, the dust removal module 90 is a dust suction device, and dust generated in the laser drilling process is timely drawn out and filtered out through air pressure difference, so as to ensure the laser drilling quality. Dust generated in the laser drilling process can affect the first positioning unit 51 or the second positioning unit 52 to accurately position the workpiece 70, and affect the laser beam to perform laser drilling, which is not beneficial to the laser beam to perform drilling with fine apertures.
Optionally, the dust removal module 90 is disposed on the first processing platform 61, and when the laser beam performs laser drilling processing on the processed workpiece 70 on the first processing platform 61, the dust removal module 90 can extract dust in time and filter and remove the dust.

The second galvanometer scanning unit 32 includes a focusing mirror 33, and is configured to focus the laser beam of the second galvanometer scanning unit 32 and apply a focusing point on the workpiece 70.
Specifically, the focusing lens 33 is a flat-field focusing lens (f-theta). The focusing mirror 33 can focus the laser beam, so that the energy density of a laser beam focusing point is high, and the laser drilling processing quality is ensured.
