Abstract

A laser device is provided. The laser device includes: a laser tube having an opening in both ends thereof, and a fixing apparatus on at least one of the ends of the laser tube. The opening in at least one of the ends of the laser tube is sealed by the fixing apparatus. A movable assembly and a window are provided on the fixing apparatus. The window is movable relatively to the opening of the laser tube when being driven by the movable assembly, to change a transmission position of a laser light generated by the laser tube on the window.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A laser device, comprising:
a laser tube having an opening in both ends thereof; and
a fixing apparatus on at least one of the ends of the laser tube;
wherein the opening in at least one of the ends of the laser tube is sealed by the fixing apparatus; and
wherein the fixing apparatus comprises a movable assembly and a window, with the window being movable relatively to the opening of the laser tube when being driven by the movable assembly, to change a transmission position of a laser light generated by the laser tube on the window;
wherein the window is annular-shaped, and is rotatable around an axis of the window when being driven by the movable assembly.

2. The laser device according to claim 1 , wherein the opening of the laser tube is located at a circumference centered around the axis of the window.

3. The laser device according to claim 1 , wherein a length direction of the laser tube is perpendicular to the window.

4. The laser device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing apparatus comprises a through hole, and the through hole is sealed by the window.

5. The laser device according to claim 4 , further comprising a sealing assembly;
wherein the fixing apparatus is abutted by the sealing assembly against the opening of the laser tube, so as to seal the opening.

6. The laser device according to claim 5 , wherein the window is abutted by the sealing assembly against the through hole, so as to seal the through hole.

7. The laser device according to claim 6 , wherein the sealing assembly comprises a piston and a cylinder;
wherein the cylinder is able to push the piston to press and abut the window against the through hole, and the cylinder is able to push the piston to drive the fixing apparatus to be pressed against the opening of the laser tube.

8. The laser device according to claim 7 , further comprising a damping assembly on the piston; wherein the damping assembly is configured to protect the window when the piston presses the window.

9. The laser device according to claim 6 , further comprising a sealing ring between the through hole and the window.

10. The laser device according to claim 1 , wherein the movable assembly comprises a motor and a scroll wheel;
wherein the motor is mechanically connected to the scroll wheel and is able to drive the scroll wheel to roll; and the scroll wheel is in contact with the window, and the scroll wheel when rolling is able to drive the window to move.

11. The laser device according to claim 1 , wherein the fixing apparatus further comprises a body having a hollow chamber;
the window is movably provided in the body and through the chamber;
the body comprises a through hole; the through hole corresponds to the opening of the laser tube and is in communication with the chamber; and
the opening of the laser tube and the window are on opposite sides of the through hole.

12. The laser device according to claim 11 , further comprising a first sealing ring and a second sealing ring;
wherein the first sealing ring is between the body and the laser tube and seals the opening of the laser tube and the through hole; and
the second sealing ring is in the chamber and is between the window and the through hole.

13. The laser device according to claim 12 , further comprising: a piston slidably provided in the chamber, and a cylinder driving the piston to move toward or away from the window in the chamber.

14. The laser device according to claim 13 , wherein the movable assembly comprises a motor and a scroll wheel which are in the chamber;
the motor is mechanically connected to the scroll wheel, and is able to drive the scroll wheel to roll; and
the scroll wheel is in contact with the window, and the scroll wheel when rolling is able to drive the window to move.

15. The laser device according to claim 13 , wherein the opening of the laser tube, the first sealing ring, the through hole, the second sealing ring and the piston are provided in this order in a length direction of the laser tube.

16. The laser device according to claim 15 , wherein the length direction of the laser tube is perpendicular to the window.

17. The laser device according to claim 1 , further comprising a sealing ring; wherein the laser tube is connected to the fixing apparatus in a sealing manner via the sealing ring.

18. A laser device, comprising:
a laser tube having an opening in both ends thereof; and
a fixing apparatus on at least one of the ends of the laser tube;
wherein the opening in at least one of the ends of the laser tube is sealed by the fixing apparatus; and
wherein the fixing apparatus comprises a movable assembly and a window, with the window being movable relatively to the opening of the laser tube when being driven by the movable assembly, to change a transmission position of a laser light generated by the laser tube on the window;
wherein the fixing apparatus comprises a through hole, and the through hole is sealed by the window;
wherein the laser device further includes a sealing assembly; and the fixing apparatus is abutted by the sealing assembly against the opening of the laser tube, so as to seal the opening;
wherein the window is abutted by the sealing assembly against the through hole, so as to seal the through hole;
wherein the sealing assembly comprises a piston and a cylinder; and the cylinder is able to push the piston to press and abut the window against the through hole, and the cylinder is able to push the piston to drive the fixing apparatus to be pressed against the opening of the laser tube.

19. A laser device, comprising:
a laser tube having an opening in both ends thereof; and
a fixing apparatus on at least one of the ends of the laser tube;
wherein the opening in at least one of the ends of the laser tube is sealed by the fixing apparatus; and
wherein the fixing apparatus comprises a movable assembly and a window, with the window being movable relatively to the opening of the laser tube when being driven by the movable assembly, to change a transmission position of a laser light generated by the laser tube on the window;
wherein the fixing apparatus further comprises a body having a hollow chamber; the window is movably provided in the body and through the chamber; the body comprises a through hole; the through hole corresponds to the opening of the laser tube and is in communication with the chamber; and the opening of the laser tube and the window are on opposite sides of the through hole;
