In the conventional laser hardening device as described above, each reflecting mirror surface of the polygonal reflecting mirror is installed at the same distance from the axis, so the scanning focal line by each reflecting mirror surface is
They are adjacent in parallel and sequentially with a width that corresponds to the movement of the workpiece and the rotational speed of the rotating body. Therefore, the degree of concentration of beam energy per unit time in a unit area of the laser beam increases linearly, causing surface melting and deteriorating hardening performance. In particular, the degree of energy concentration was particularly high at both ends of the hardened portion, making it impossible to achieve uniform hardening, and the surface condition deteriorated due to melting. Also, since it is a linear hardening process, the shape of the beam (mode, light focusing ability)
There were problems such as being susceptible to the effects of heat and not being able to harden uniformly.

Since this invention is configured as described above, the movement of the beam focus due to reflection from ridgeline to ridgeline on each reflecting mirror surface is the same as in the conventional example, but the movement of the beam focus due to reflection from the ridgeline to the ridgeline on each reflecting mirror surface is the same as in the conventional example, but the movement of the beam focus due to the reflection from the ridgeline to the ridgeline on each reflecting mirror surface is the same as in the conventional example. The distance between them is a width corresponding to the difference in the mounting distance of the reflecting mirror surface, and due to the high speed rotation of the rotating body and the constant speed movement of the workpiece, multiple scanning focal lines within a predetermined plane, that is, a rectangular surface shape. Beam energy is distributed and irradiated. Therefore, the irradiation time of the beam energy on the hardened surface becomes longer, the hardening depth can be increased without causing a surface melt state, and over-irradiation of the beam energy at both ends of the hardened part is avoided. . Furthermore, since hardening is performed in a planar manner, uniform hardening can be performed without being affected by the shape (mode, focusability) of the laser beam.

Next, the effect will be explained. Two sets of reflective mirror surfaces 1 a1 to 1 a4 and 1 b attached to the rotating body 1
1 to 1 b4 are sequentially arranged at different distances from the axis of each reflecting mirror surface at equal intervals as shown in Fig. 2, and are symmetrical with the axis of the rotating body 1 of both reflecting mirror groups. It is arranged like this. Therefore, the laser beam from the laser oscillator head is focused by the lens 3 and incident on each reflecting mirror surface of the rotating body 1 which is rotated at high speed by the motor 2, and is reflected onto the surface of the workpiece W moving at a constant speed. It focuses on the nearby area and heats the metal surface to harden it. In this case, each scanning focal line by each reflecting mirror surface is the same as the conventional example, but the scanning focal line by each reflecting mirror surface group 1 a1 to 1 a4 and 1 b1 to 1 b4 is determined by the rotation of the rotating body 1. As shown in FIG. 3, the first scanning focal line 4
A predetermined width is formed between a1 , 4 b1 and the last scanning focal line 4 a4 , 4 b4 . Furthermore, each scanning focal line is determined by the high speed rotation of the rotating body 1, for example, from 2000 to 10000 r.
pm rotation and movement of the workpiece W at a constant speed, for example, about 1 m/min, the workpiece W is moved adjacently during the next rotation, and the width of the scanning focal line due to different mounting distances and the respective scanning Sequential translation of the focal line results in irradiation of a rectangular surface with beam energy. This planar beam energy irradiation lengthens the irradiation time of the beam energy on the metal surface of the workpiece W, making it possible to deepen the hardening depth without causing surface melting. Deterioration of the condition is prevented. Further, since the beam energy is irradiated in a planar manner, uniform hardening can be performed without being affected by the shape of the laser beam due to the mode, convergence, etc.

Furthermore, since the hardening is performed in a planar manner, the hardening can be performed not only in the direction perpendicular to the scanning focal line but also when the workpiece is moved in any direction, thereby expanding its applicability. In addition, since each polygonal reflecting mirror group is arranged symmetrically with respect to the axis of the rotating body, no runout occurs in the rotating body, and good high-speed rotation performance can be obtained.
