(110) makes it easy to photograph the upper and lower surfaces of the slit processed on the upper surface.

On the other hand, the nozzle cap 468 maintains an integrated contact state with the surface of the board 110 during laser processing, and at the same time to prevent the laser light is directly exposed to the operator while performing a protective function of the nozzle.

The first vertical bar 471 is fixed to the horizontal end 469 of the nozzle cap 468 so as to stand upright, and the upper end of the first vertical bar 471 is a slide block through a plate-shaped connecting member (not shown). 477 is combined.

In addition, the slide block 477 is formed with a rail groove (not shown) on one side, the rail groove is to be engaged with the outer surface of the guide rail 476 provided on the inner surface of the support bracket 475, the guide It is provided so that it can slide up and down along the rail 476.

Accordingly, when the nozzle cap 468 is in contact with the surface of the board 110 during laser processing and is elevated along the outer surface of the second light guide tube 466 by irregular bending of the surface of the board 110, the nozzle cap 468 From the horizontal end 469, the first vertical rods 471 and the slide block 477 is connected to one combination to perform the lifting operation in the vertical direction, and in addition, the slide block 477 in this process The relative linear movement between the guide rail 476 and the guide rail 476 can perform a smooth lifting operation without shaking in the left and right directions.

On the other hand, since the connecting member connecting the first vertical bar 471 and the slide block 477 is usually kept in a state that is simply over the upper surface of the plate 426, the first vertical bar 471 is moved downward Limited. However, during the laser processing, since the nozzle cap 468 makes contact with the surface of the board 110 and the connecting member is spaced apart from the upper surface of the plate 426 by a predetermined distance, the nozzle cap ( 468) The lifting movement can be freely performed within this limited range.

Accordingly, when the piston is moved in the ascending direction in the cylinder 474, the hook of the second vertical rod 472 is raised over the bottom of the connecting member, so that the synergistic action of the nozzle cap 468 interlocked with the connecting member. This is done.

Likewise, when the piston is moved in the downward direction, the slide block 477, the first vertical rod 471, and the nozzle cap 468 receive the self-weight of the coupling body and the connecting member descends while being placed on the hook nozzle 468. The descent of is done.

Of course, during the laser processing, the bottom portion of the connecting member should be set to be spaced apart from the upper portion of the hook by a certain distance so that the nozzle cap 468 can freely move along the surface of the board 110.

By such a configuration, when the laser processing is performed while the nozzle cap 468 is in contact with the surface of the board 110, the self-weight of the nozzle cap 468 due to the surface bending of the board 110 may be reduced. Voluntary hoisting action takes place.

On the other hand, in the case of laser processing, if you need to temporarily lift the nozzle cap 468 to move the processing area on the board 110, or to replace the nozzle cap 468 to replace the other board 110, the control unit By driving the cylinder 474 through it, it is possible to perform a forced up / down action of the nozzle cap 468. In this case, since the lifting and lowering action of the nozzle cap 468 can be induced at an appropriate timing according to an algorithm programmed in the controller during the laser processing, the automation of the device can be more easily implemented.

On the other hand, the second light guide unit 460 detects the vertical movement displacement of the nozzle cap 468 according to the minute surface curvature of the board 110 during laser processing to properly compensate for the focal length of the condenser lens and the focal length of the camera. Potentiometer 720 is provided to give.

At this time, the potentiometer employed in the present invention is a kind of variable resistor, and adopts a conventional potentiometer for converting a change in resistance value due to a position change into a corresponding voltage value.

The potentiometer 720 includes a main body 722 and a probe 724 which is lifted from the main body 722 and is electrically connected to a control unit (not shown). At this time, the main body 722 is fixed on the outer surface of the lens housing 464, the probe 724 is supported on the first vertical rod 471 through the guide member 726 of the nozzle cap 468 The direct contact with the upper surface of the horizontal end 469 is maintained.

By such a structure, if the repetitive lifting action of the nozzle cap 468 according to the surface curvature of the board 110 during laser processing is made, in contact with the horizontal end 469 in conjunction with the nozzle cap 468 As the probe 724 is repeatedly raised and lowered, the vertical displacement of the nozzle cap 468 is transmitted to the controller in real time.

In addition, according to the signal value detected by the potentiometer 720, the control unit operates each of the driving motors 483 and 494 provided in the condenser lens lifting unit 480 and the camera lifting unit 490 to operate the laser beam. By appropriately adjusting the focal length and the focal length of the camera in real time to minimize the upper and lower surface measurement error and processing error of the slit due to minute surface curvature of the board (110).

Accordingly, since the light generated from the lamp unit 830 is concentrated on the slit periphery located directly below the camera 700 at the lower portion of the board 110, the slit taken through the camera 700 The shape is clear, which makes it easier to read and compare machining errors between the upper and lower slits.

In particular, when the laser processing operation is performed in a dark environment, since the lamp performs the same function as the flash of the camera, the reading of the image data of the photographed slit becomes clear, thereby providing more effective photographing efficiency.

On the other hand, the laser processing machine 1000 according to the present invention has a gas discharge structure for discharging the harmful gas generated in the laser processing process to the outside.

That is, on the horizontal plate 190 located directly below the nozzle provided in the second light guide tube 466, the gas outlet 900 has a predetermined width and length, corresponds to the movement trajectory of the nozzle, and is punctured along the X-axis direction. ) Is formed.

In addition, the lower portion of the gas discharge port 900 is provided with a duct 910 is formed in the bottom portion of the horizontal plate 190 to form a predetermined closed space, one side of the duct 910 is an external indentation blower ( A communication tube 920 communicating with the not shown) is provided.

Accordingly, the noxious gas generated during laser processing is forcibly introduced into the gas discharge port 900 by the suction force through the press-fit blower and temporarily stays in the duct 910 and then discharged to the outside through the communication tube 920.

In addition, by forming a gas outlet (not shown) having a predetermined diameter on the outer surface of the lens housing 464 and configured to be in communication with the press-in blower through a connecting means such as a hose, harmful gas generated during laser processing The gas discharge efficiency may be doubled by discharging to the outside through the respective gas discharge ports in the upper and lower portions of the board 110.

Hereinafter, the operation of the present invention having the above-described configuration will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

8 is a block diagram showing the overall slit processing process by the laser processing machine 1000 of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 8 and the aforementioned drawings, as a preliminary step before laser processing, first, the board 110 is seated on the horizontal plate 190 of the bed 100 so that one side wall surface of the board 110 is fixed. In a state of being in close contact with the plate 210, the plate 110 is completely clamped by transferring the movable side plate 220 to the fixed side plate 210 through the pulley driving motor 270.

Thereafter, the board 110 is transferred at a constant speed in the front and rear directions (Y-axis directions) of the bed 100 through the Y-axis transfer unit 600 according to an algorithm set in advance in the control unit 300, and at the same time generates a laser. Unit 400 is a continuous form of a predetermined form on the board 110 through the laser beam emitted from the nozzle while being transferred at a constant speed in the left and right directions (X-axis direction) of the bed 100 through the X-axis transfer unit 500 Slitting is achieved.

At the same time, the camera 700 which is interlocked with the laser generating unit 400 is moved by an appropriate distance along the vertical direction (Z-axis direction) through the camera lifting unit 490 and the upper surface of the slit processed through the laser light and When the shape is sequentially photographed, the captured image data is transmitted to the control unit 300 in real time.

In addition, the controller 300 reads and compares each image data of the slit photographed by the camera 700 and maintains the current processing condition when the upper surface width P1 and the lower surface width P2 of the slit match. When the upper surface width P1 and the lower surface width P2 of the slit are different from each other, the driving motor 483 in the condenser lens lifting unit 480 is operated to adjust the focal length of the laser beam or the Y axis transfer unit ( By operating the Y-axis feed motor 640 in 600 to properly control the feed rate of the board 110, the upper and lower surfaces of the slit (P1, P2) is maintained to be substantially constant.

In addition, as the nozzle cap 468 makes continuous contact with the surface of the board 110 according to the transfer of the board 110, the potentiometer 720 may be exposed to minute surface bending of the board 110. The vertical displacement width of the nozzle cap 468 is sensed in real time and then sent to the controller 300.

In this case, the controller 300 drives the motor 483 in the condenser lens lifting unit 480 and the driving motor 494 in the camera lifting unit 490 by a value corresponding to the vertical displacement width of the nozzle cap 468. By adjusting the focal length of the laser light and the focal length of the camera 700 to operate properly, even the measurement error and processing error due to minute bending of the surface of the board 110 can be corrected in real time.

According to the present invention described above, the following effects can be obtained.

First, when clamping the board, it is possible to clamp the board together with the fixed side plate by moving the movable side plate through the pulley driving motor, so that the board can be clamped smoothly without being affected by the size of the board. Depending on the size of the board, you can eliminate the hassle of replacing the clamps individually.

Second, when laser processing, by using the camera lifting unit to properly control the vertical movement width of the camera while shooting the width of the upper and lower surfaces of the slit processed by the laser light, the board for the conventional slit shooting Since the work performed by the two cameras provided at the upper and lower portions of the camera can be replaced by one camera, the device configuration of the laser processing machine can be more compactly formed.

Third, in the slit processing, the vertical displacement of the nozzle cap according to the surface curvature of the board is sensed in real time through a potentiometer, and accordingly, the focal length of the laser beam and the focal length of the camera are appropriately adjusted so that the minute curvature of the board surface can be adjusted. Even measurement errors and machining errors can be processed in real time.

Fourth, when photographing the slit processed by laser light, the brightness of the slit portion is intensively increased by the light source generated from the lighting device located on the lower part of the board, so that the image of the slit photographed by the camera becomes clearer. Therefore, it is easy to read and compare the machining error between the upper and lower surfaces of the slit.

Fifth, since the harmful gas generated in the laser processing process can be easily discharged to the outside through the gas discharge port and the duct by the forced suction force by the indentation blower has the advantage of maintaining a more comfortable working environment.

As described above, although described with reference to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, those skilled in the art will vary the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention described in the utility model registration claims below It will be understood that modifications and changes can be made.
