Abstract

Laser engravers with a masking mechanism comprise a machine body, a laser-engraving mechanism inside the machine body, a working platform, and an exhauster. The laser-engraving mechanism includes a lens-cart rail that moves back and forth along a working track. The exhauster includes air outlets behind the working platform. The masking mechanism, which includes a reelable curtain-sheet, is installed above the air outlets so that while processing, the curtain-sheet is reeled out above the working platform and an air induction channel is formed to increase the working efficiency of the exhauster.

Claims (11)

1. A laser engraver with a masking mechanism, comprising a machine body, a laser-engraving mechanism inside the machine body, a working platform, and an exhauster; wherein:

the laser-engraving mechanism includes a lens-cart rail slidably mounted on a working track; the exhauster is provided with at least one air outlet behind the working platform; and the laser engraver is characterized in that:

the at least one air outlet is positioned above the working platform, and a masking mechanism is installed above the at least one air outlet, wherein the masking mechanism comprises a rod member and a curtain-sheet reeled onto the rod member, and the rod member is installed in the machine body and connected to one end of the curtain-sheet, and the other end of the curtain-sheet is connected to the lens-cart rail, so that when the lens-cart rail moves above the working platform, the curtain-sheet is reeled out above the working platform to form an air induction channel beneath the curtain-sheet of the masking mechanism.

2. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the masking mechanism further includes a reeling component, for reeling the curtain-sheet onto the rod member.

3. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the end of the curtain-sheet connected to the lens-cart rail is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the lens-cart rail is provided with a connecting member to buckle to the through holes.

4. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein the curtain-sheet is made of a transparent material.

5. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 1 , wherein between a front side of the machine body and the lens-cart rail is provided with another masking mechanism so that each of the two sides of the lens-cart rail is provided with the masking mechanism respectively.

6. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 4 , wherein a second masking mechanism comprises a second rod member and a second curtain-sheet reeled onto the second rod member, wherein the second rod member is installed on the machine body, and connected to one end of the second curtain-sheet, and the other end of the second curtain-sheet is combined with the lens-cart rail, so that when the lens-cart rail moves above the working platform, the second curtain-sheet is reeled out above the working platform.

7. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 5 , wherein the second masking mechanism further comprises a second reeling component, for reeling the curtain-sheet on the second rod member.

8. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 5 , wherein the one end of the second curtain-sheet is combined with the lens-cart rail is provided with a plurality of through holes, and the lens-cart rail is provided with a connecting member to buckle to the through holes.

9. The laser engraver with the masking mechanism according to claim 5 , wherein the second curtain-sheet is made of a transparent material.
