Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a laser cutting apparatus, and more particularly to a laser cutting apparatus which can be used for cutting a substrate of a brittle material. [Prior Art] With the continuous development of display technology, liquid crystal display devices such as Thin Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display (TFT-LCD) have been widely used in the consumer field, and it is expected to replace the conventional cathode ray tube ( Cathode Ray Tube, CRT) display device. A liquid crystal display device such as a TFT-LCD usually consists of two upper and lower glass plates, and is housed in a liquid crystal and a plurality of circuits between the two glass plates. The liquid crystal can be changed in arrangement by an electric field to realize a display function. In order to form liquid crystal display panels of different sizes, it is usually necessary to cut a glass substrate of a larger size. Laser cutting equipment typically includes a carrier disk, a cutter wheel, a laser, and a cooler. When the glass substrate is cut by the laser cutting device, it is usually money to hold the glass substrate to be cut on the carrier, and then use a cutter wheel to form a pre-cut line on the surface of the glass substrate, and then use the laser to emit the laser. The light beam heats the glass substrate along the pre-cut line, and then sprays a cooling fluid through the cooler to cool the surface of the glass substrate. The glass substrate undergoes a stress change due to a sharp temperature difference, which causes a downwardly growing crack in the position of the pre-cut line previously formed by the cutter wheel on the surface of the glass substrate, thereby cracking the entire glass substrate. Such a laser cutting apparatus can basically perform cutting of a single or a small number of substrates of different materials or thicknesses via the above-described cutting process. 200831227 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a laser cutting apparatus that can perform a variety of cutting processes to meet the cutting requirements of brittle material substrates of different thicknesses and materials.

Compared with the prior art, the pre-cutting device of the laser cutting device comprises a plurality of pre-cutting units that can be switched, and a plurality of different laser cutting processes can be performed by switching different pre-cutting units to meet different thicknesses and Cutting requirements for materials of brittle material substrates. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. Referring to FIG. 1, a laser cutting apparatus 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a carrying device 110, a laser cutting device 120, a pre-cutting device 130, and a cooling device 140. The carrying device 110 has a bearing surface 112 for carrying the brittle material substrate 200 to be cut. The material of the brittle material substrate 200 may be a brittle material such as ceramic, glass or quartz. Typically, the carrier 110 can be moved in a Z-axis direction perpendicular to its bearing surface 112 and can also be translated or/and rotated in an X-Y plane parallel to the carrier surface 112. The laser cutting device 120 is disposed relative to the carrier device 110 and is located at the side of the bearing surface 112 of the carrier device 110. The laser cutting device 120 includes a laser source 122 and a concentrating device 124. The laser source 122 can be a carbon dioxide laser for generating a laser beam to illuminate and heat the brittle material substrate 200. The concentrating device 124 is configured to collect the laser beam emitted from the laser source 122 to the brittle material substrate 200 to improve heating efficiency. Typically, the laser beam emitted by the laser source 122 is concentrated by the concentrating device 124 to illuminate and heat the brittle material substrate 200 in an unfocused manner. Preferably, the laser cutting device 120 ® further includes a beam deflector 126 for adjusting the direction of the laser beam emitted by the laser source 122 to reduce the volume of the laser cutting device 120. The overall structure of the laser cutting apparatus 100 is compact. The beam deflector 126 can be a mirror or prism. More preferably, the laser cutting device 120 further includes a photointerrupter 128, which can serve as an optical switch for blocking the laser beam emitted from the laser source 122 to be irradiated to the laser beam. The cut brittle material substrate 200 is described so that it is not necessary to directly turn on or turn off the laser source 122 during operation to avoid the re-heating of the laser source 122 when it is turned off, which affects the production efficiency due to the need for preheating. The pre-cutting device 130 is located on one side of the laser cutting device 120 for forming a pre-cut line 220 along the predetermined direction A on the brittle material substrate 200. The pre-cutting device 130 includes a laser pre-cutting unit 132 and a cutter wheel pre-cutting unit 134 that are switchable. The laser pre-cutting unit 132 includes a laser source 1322 and a concentrating device 1324. The laser source 1322 can be an ultraviolet laser for generating an ultraviolet beam illumination and pre-cutting the brittle material substrate 10 200831227 plate 200 in the predetermined direction. The concentrating device 1324 is located on the side of the bearing surface 112 of the carrying device 110 for collecting the laser beam emitted from the laser source 1322 to the brittle material substrate 200 to improve the pre-cut efficiency. After the laser beam emitted from the laser source 1322 is collected by the concentrating device 1324, it is generally irradiated in a focused manner and pre-cuts the brittle material substrate 200 along the predetermined direction A. The concentrating device 1324 is movable along a Z-axis direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 112 of the carrier device 110, so that the position of the convergence point of the laser beam or the spot size irradiated onto the brittle material substrate 200 can be adjusted. . Typically, the laser pre-cutting unit 132 further includes a guiding member 1326, such as a slide, slide or screw, etc.; the guiding member 1326 extends in a Z-axis direction perpendicular to the bearing surface 112. The concentrating device 1324 is movably coupled to the guiding member 1326, that is, the concentrating device 1324 is movable on the guiding member 1326. Preferably, the laser pre-cutting unit 132 further includes a beam deflector 1321 for adjusting the direction of the laser beam generated by the laser source 1322 to reduce the volume of the laser pre-cutting unit 132_. The overall structure of the laser cutting apparatus 100 is made more compact. The beam deflector 1121 can be a mirror or prism. More preferably, the laser pre-cutting unit 132 further includes a photointerrupter 1323, which can serve as an optical switch for blocking the laser beam emitted from the laser source 1322 to be irradiated to The brittle material substrate 200 to be cut is such that the laser source 1322 does not need to be directly turned on or off during operation to avoid the re-heating of the laser source 1322, and the production efficiency is affected by preheating. The cutter wheel pre-cutting unit 134 is located on the side of the bearing surface 112 of the carrying device 110, and includes a cutter wheel 1342 and a support seat 1344. The knife 11 200831227 wheel 1342 can be a diamond or tungsten steel cutter wheel that is loaded onto the support base 1344. The support seat 1344 is movable with the cutter wheel 1342 in an X-axis direction parallel to the bearing surface 112 of the carrier device 110. Typically, the cutter wheel pre-cutting unit 134 also includes a guiding member 1346, such as a slide, a slider, or the like, which extends in a direction parallel to the axis of the bearing surface 112. The support seat 1344 is movably coupled to the guiding member 1346, that is, the support seat 1344 can be moved over the guiding member 1346 with the cutter wheel 1342. One end of the guiding element 1346 is disposed adjacent to the guiding element 1326 of the laser pre-cutting unit 132, such that the initial cutting position of the cutting wheel 1342 to pre-cut the brittle material substrate 200 can be used with the The initial cutting position at which the pre-cutting unit 132 pre-cuts the brittle material substrate 200 is substantially at the same position. Of course, it will be appreciated that the pre-cutting device 130 may also include other pre-cutting units for pre-cutting of other brittle material substrates of different thicknesses or materials. The cooling device 140 is located on the opposite side of the laser cutting device 120 from the pre-cutting device 130 for providing a cooling fluid to cool the brittle material substrate 200 heated by the laser cutting device 120, The brittle material substrate 200 is cracked and cracked along the pre-cut line 220. The cooling device 140 includes a first flow path I42, a second flow path 144, and a nozzle 146 that communicates with the first flow path 142 and the second flow path I44. The nozzle 146 is located on the side of the bearing surface η2 of the carrier device I10. The first flow channel 142 and the second flow channel 144 are respectively provided with a first cooling fluid and a second cooling fluid. The first cooling fluid may be a coolant 12 200831227 body such as cooling water, liquid nitrogen or liquid helium. The second cooling fluid may be a low temperature (typically below 〇 °c) dust-free dry air, gaseous nitrogen, gaseous helium or a mixture thereof. Generally, the cooling device 140 further includes a first wide gate 141 and a second gate 1C respectively disposed on the first flow passage 142 and the second flow passage 144 for respectively switching the first flow passage 142. And the first-class road 144 is turned on and off. Of course, it can be understood that the valve 141 and the second valve 143 can be simultaneously opened during use, and only one of the valves is opened. Preferably, the nozzle 146 of the cooling device 140 and the laser cutting device 1 are irradiated to the laser beam and the cutter wheel 1342 of the inert material substrate 200, and the laser pre-cutting unit 132 is irradiated to the substrate of the inert material. The 200 laser beams are located approximately in the same plane, ie in the XZ plane. Of course, it will be appreciated that the cooling device 140 may also include more flow passages to provide more different combinations of cooling fluid and cooling fluids to meet the needs of a variety of different laser cutting processes. ^ When the brittle material substrate 200 is cut by the laser cutting device 100, the pre-cutting unit to be used is usually selected according to the material and thickness of the brittle material substrate 200, for example, if the brittle material substrate 2 is For materials such as glass or ceramics of thickness, the pre-cutting unit may be used by the laser pre-cutting unit. If the brittle material substrate 200 is thick ceramic or quartz, the pre-cutting unit may be used for pre-cutting. . Specifically, the pre-cutting is performed by the laser pre-cutting unit 132, and the brittle material substrate can be moved to the side of the pre-cutting device 130 by the rest bearing 11G, and the brittle material substrate 2 is 13 200831227 The cutter wheel pre-cutting unit 134 retains a certain distance along the Z-axis direction. Of course, it should be understood that the support seat 1344 of the cutter wheel pre-cutting unit 134 should be moved on its guiding element 1346 to a position away from the guiding element 1326 of the laser pre-cutting unit 134 to avoid the cutter wheel. The pre-cutting unit 134 affects the cutting process. Thereafter, the laser source 1322 and the photointerrupter 1323 of the laser pre-cutting unit 132 are both turned on, and the laser beam emitted from the laser source 1322 is deflected by the beam deflector 1321 and then injected into the spotlight.
