Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of laser cutting, in particular to a laser head anti-condensation method.
Background
Laser cutting is one of the most important processing methods in the laser processing industry, and is widely applied to industries such as automobiles, ships, mechanical manufacturing, chemical engineering, light industry, electrical appliances, electronics, petroleum, metallurgy and the like at present; the method has the advantages of regular processing section, small heat effect, no crack or metallurgical defect, high processing speed, high efficiency and wide application range, and has incomparable superiority compared with the traditional mechanical processing and electric spark processing. The laser cutting processing has wide market prospect, and with the rapid development of modern science and technology, researchers at home and abroad research the laser cutting and promote the rapid development of the laser processing.
When the laser cutting machine works in an environment with high humidity, the temperature inside the optical cavity of the laser head is increased due to the fact that the laser head can generate high temperature, the temperature of the outer wall of the optical cavity and the temperature of the lens are too low, and dew condensation is easily formed at the two positions. If the dew condensation is light, the laser head cannot work normally, and the function can be recovered only by cleaning the dew condensation water; the serious condition directly causes the irreparable damage of the laser head and even the laser. The chinese patent with application number 201810228409.7 discloses a laser head with anti-condensation function, which comprises a temperature and humidity sensing module, an alarm module and a controller, wherein the controller comprises a calculating unit and a judging unit. The laser head can monitor the temperature and humidity inside the laser head and the temperature of cooling water. However: firstly, a laser head in a comparison document is cooled and insulated by cooling water, when the temperature of the cooling water is lower than the dew point temperature, an operator is required to control the temperature of the cooling water, so that the automatic control cannot be realized, a certain operation time difference exists, and the automation of laser cutting is not facilitated; secondly, a threshold value of the temperature difference between the cooling water and the dew point is not set in the comparison file, so that the cooling water cannot be kept in a stable temperature range, and the temperature avoided by the laser head cannot be kept in the stable temperature range; finally, the cooling water in the comparison file cools the laser head main body, does not directly act on the lens group in the laser head, and cannot directly control the temperature of the lens group.
