1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a light adjustment device for a laser resonant socket.
2. Description of the Prior Art
FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of a light adjustment device according to one embodiment of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a laser base of the light adjustment device shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of an adjuster body of the light adjustment device shown in FIG. 1;
The following detailed description is of the best presently contemplated modes of carrying out the invention. This description is not to be taken in a limiting sense, but is made merely for the purpose of illustrating general principles of embodiments of the invention. The scope of the invention is best defined by the appended claims.
Referring to FIGS. 1-3, a light adjustment device for a laser resonant socket according to the present invention includes a laser base 10, a fixing upper cover 16, and an adjuster body 20. A laser chamber 12 is disposed inside the laser base 10 for a laser diode 40 to be secured therein. A fixing seat 14 is provided at a front end of the laser base 10, and is configured as a semi-circular segment having two sectional faces 145, each having a threaded hole 146, respectively. The inner surface of the fixing seat 14 is formed to be a semi-spherical groove 142.
The fixing upper cover 16 is also a semi-circular segment and is adapted to be connected to the fixing seat 14 of the laser base 10 to form a generally cylindrical construction. The upper cover 16 has two opposing outer flanges 165 extending from an arched central piece 167, with a fixing hole 166 provided at each outer flange 165. Each fixing hole 166 is aligned with a corresponding threaded hole 146 so that a threaded bolt 164 can be inserted through each fixing hole 166 and corresponding threaded hole 156 to secure the upper cover 16 to the fixing seat 14. A semi-spherical groove 162 is also formed at the inner circular surface of the arched central piece 167 so as to form a generally spherical fixing room 18 when the fixing upper cover 16 is combined with the fixing seat 14.
