F θ lens 7 are located at by XY scanning device 4 on the light path of the pulse laser 2 of the enterprising line scanning of XY direction of principal axis.F θ lens 7 will pulse laser 2 conducts in the enterprising line scanning of XY direction of principal axis be put optical convergences on the surface of endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 by XY scanning device 4.
Controller 8 carries out: the beginning of the laser output action of pulsed laser light source 1 and its stop, the control of each scanning motion of control, the X-axis scanning device 5 in the XY scanning device and the Y-axis scanning device 6 of the switch motion of the control of the laser output valve of pulsed laser light source 1, Q-switch 1c etc.
Contrast, visibility for the lip-deep display part that has by laser labelling that improves endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 need improve the density by the formed colour developing of the irradiation portion of pulse laser 2 at the full part of being coated with of display part place.The density of colour developing portion depend on pulse laser 2 spot diameter, pulse laser 2 hachure (hatching) at interval, the Q-switch frequency Qf of pulse laser 2 and the scanning speed Sp of pulse laser 2.
When as shown in Figure 2 pulse laser 2 being shone on endoscope and the medical instrument for endoscope 3, the part color that is subjected to pulse laser 2 irradiations in endoscope and the medical instrument for endoscope 3 becomes white color system.The part of variable color becomes colour developing portion 9.
As shown in Figure 3, describe having the situation of display part that demonstration for example comprises the symbol of numeral literal such as " 1 ", mark.Under this situation, shown in the enlarged drawing among this figure, pulse laser 2 scans on the XY direction of principal axis by each pulse.Like this, form on the XY direction of principal axis by the formed a plurality of colour developing of each pulse laser 2 of each pulse portion 9.Mutually adjacent each colour developing portion 9 non-overlapping copies each other in each colour developing portion 9.
In order to improve density, set the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2, hachure interval h, the Q-switch frequency Qf of pulse laser 2 of pulse laser 2 and the flag conditions such as scanning speed Sp of pulse laser 2 by the material of each endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope by formed each the colour developing portion 9 of the irradiation of pulse laser 2.
Setting to flag condition describes below.The condition that serves as a mark is set with the hachure size of h, spot diameter r, f θ lens 7 and the processing quantity etc. at interval of output valve, the pulse laser 2 of pulse laser 2.Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 represent to make the scanning speed Sp of pulse laser 2 and the Q-switch frequency Qf of pulse laser 2 to change for example result of symbol " " of ground mark respectively.
The result of labelling is different with the material of medical instrument for endoscope 3 because of forming each endoscope.The material that forms each endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 is thermoplastic resin, heat-curing resin or rubber, with as for example carbon black of coloring agent/filler, calcium carbonate, black iron oxides, titanium is black or titanium dioxide at least a combination.The result of labelling is not limited to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, by changing the material of flag condition and formation endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3, can obtain multiple result.
The depth from the labelling result as can be known: change the color (Bai development color that turns white of each symbol " " by scanning speed Sp and the Q-switch frequency Qf that makes pulse laser 2) changes.Judge the quality of contrast, visibility according to the depth of the color that turns white of each symbol " ".The selection best symbol of color " " that turns white.
But, come to determine to be suitable for most improving the contrast of display part, the flag condition of visibility by each material that forms endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 according to the labelling result.For example, the contrast value of determining to make the colour developing portion 9 that is formed at endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 and its substrate portion for example more than " 3 ", brightness more than 60, tone is-20~+ 20, saturation is-10~+ 10 flag condition.
Its result is that as can be known: flag condition is adjusted better in the following manner.For example, the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 adjusts in the scope of 5~100 μ m, the hachure of pulse laser 2 h is at interval adjusted in the scope of 1~80 μ m, the Q-switch frequency Qf of pulse laser 2 adjusts in the scope of 0.1~100kHz, and the scanning speed Sp of pulse laser 2 adjusts in the scope of 1~3000mm/sec.Particularly preferably be such degree of adjusting to, the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 below 40 μ m, the hachure of pulse laser 2 at interval h be that the Q-switch frequency Qf of 30 μ m, pulse laser 2 is the scanning speed Sp2~3000mm/sec of 30kHz, pulse laser 2.
The maximum output valve of pulse laser 2 is bigger, and better.For contrast, the visibility that improves display part, with the relation of the material that forms endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 in, the maximum output valve of pulse laser 2 is adjusted in the scope of 0.1~50W better.Pulse laser 2 on average be output as 0.1~50W.
The pulse width of the pulse laser 2 that shines on the surface of endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 is more little then to form the further display part that has improved contrast, visibility more.Thus, the pulse width of pulse laser 2 is adjusted in the scope of 0.1~200ns.Particularly preferably be, the pulse width of pulse laser 2 is 10ns.
Controller 8 for example the hachure of the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 (=5~100 μ m), pulse laser 2 at interval the Q-switch frequency of h (=1~80 μ m), pulse laser 2 (=0.1~100kHz), the scanning speed of pulse laser 2 (under the flag condition that sets in each scope of=1~3000mm/sec), controls each the scanning speed Sp of switch motion, the X-axis scanning device 5 in the XY scanning device 4 and Y-axis scanning device 6 of Q-switch 1c and the Q-switch frequency Qf of Q-switch 1c respectively.
The 9 pairs of controllers 8 in configuration part are set hachure h, the Q-switch frequency Qf of pulse laser 2 and the scanning speed Sp of pulse laser 2 at interval of spot diameter r, the pulse laser 2 of pulse laser 2 for example respectively.
Then, the laser labelling that uses the laser marking device that constitutes as mentioned above to carry out is described.
9 pairs of controllers 8 are set flag condition from the configuration part.Flag condition for example is: the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 be 5~100 μ m, pulse laser 2 hachure at interval h be that the Q-switch frequency Qf of 1~80 μ m, pulse laser 2 is that the scanning speed Sp of 0.1~100kHz, pulse laser 2 is 1~3000mm/sec.The special flag condition of setting following degree: the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 below 40 μ m, the hachure of pulse laser 2 at interval h be that the Q-switch frequency Qf of 30 μ m, pulse laser 2 is that the scanning speed Sp of 30kHz, pulse laser 2 is 2~3000mm/sec.Scanning speed Sp also can be 2000mm/sec.
Controller 8 is according to as the hachure of the pulse laser 2 of the flag condition that sets h, the Q-switch frequency Qf of pulse laser 2, the scanning speed Sp of pulse laser 2 at interval, controls each the scanning speed Sp of switch motion, X-axis scanning device 5 and Y-axis scanning device 6 of Q-switch 1c and the Q-switch frequency Qf of Q-switch 1c respectively.
From pulsed laser light source 1 output pulse laser 2.Pulse laser 2 scans along Y direction by Y-axis scanning device 6, and scans along X-direction by X-axis scanning device 5.Pulse laser 2 incides f θ lens 7.The pulse laser 2 that incides f θ lens 7 scans on the surface of endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3 as some light.The spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 assembles by f θ lens 7, thereby forms 5~100 μ m, particularly is formed on below the 40 μ m.
When pulse laser 2 shines on the surface of endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3, the part that is subjected to pulse laser 2 irradiations in endoscope and the medical instrument for endoscope 3 as, color shown in Figure 2 becomes white color system, thereby forms colour developing portion 9.
And pulse laser 2 scans on the XY direction of principal axis by each pulse.Thus, as shown in Figure 3, a plurality of colour developing portion 9 forms at the situation lower edge XY direction of principal axis that each adjacent colour developing portion 9 does not mutually overlap each other.At this moment, in order to improve density, as shown in Figure 3, make the hachure interval h of pulse laser 2 form 1~80 μ m by formed each the colour developing portion 9 of the irradiation of pulse laser 2.Particularly the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 forms below the 40 μ m.The hachure of pulse laser 2 h at interval forms 30 μ m.Its result is to have the display part of the symbol that comprises literal, mark on the surface of endoscope and medical instrument for endoscope 3.

Formation method to scale (look and recognize labelling) 23 describes.Scale 23 forms in the following manner: to the predetermined position irradiated with pulse laser of the outer surface of the crust 27 that contains developer, utilize its this energy to make chromogenic reagent.
The pulse laser of irradiation can be enumerated for example carbon dioxide gas laser, He-Ne laser instrument, ruby laser, semiconductor laser, argon laser, excimer laser, YVO 4Laser instrument, YAG laser instrument etc.These laser powers are big and have an effect on surface that powerful fusing forms the resin material of crust 27.
Thermoplastic resin, heat-curing resin or rubber are being carried out under the situation of laser labelling, wavelength 1064nm, the 532nm of pulse laser 2,355nm all can carry out laser labelling.
Therefore, as pulsed laser light source 1, use and for example export that wavelength is the Nd:YVO of the pulse laser 2 of 1064nm 4Laser instrument is (hereinafter referred to as YVO 4Laser instrument).Pulsed laser light source 1 also can use for example exports that wavelength is the Nd:YAG laser instrument (hereinafter referred to as the YAG laser instrument) of the pulse laser 2 of 1064nm.These YAG laser instrument and YVO 4Laser instrument is changed the pulse laser 2 that exportable wavelength is 355nm, 532nm by half-wavelength.
Thermoplastic resin, heat-curing resin, thermoplastic elastic body are being carried out under the situation of laser labelling, all can carry out laser labelling from wavelength 1064nm, 532nm, the 355nm of the pulse laser 2 of pulsed laser light source 1 output.

Below, the laser labelling that uses laser marking device is described.
9 pairs of controllers 8 are set flag condition from the configuration part.About flag condition, for example in each following scope, set flag condition: the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 be 5~100 μ m, pulse laser 2 hachure at interval h be that the Q-switch frequency Qf of 1~80 μ m, pulse laser 2 is that the scanning speed Sp of 0.1~100kHz, pulse laser 2 is 1~3000mm/sec.
The special flag condition of setting following degree: the spot diameter r of pulse laser 2 is that 40 μ m are following, the hachure of pulse laser 2 at interval h be that the Q-switch frequency Qf of 30 μ m, pulse laser 2 is that the scanning speed Sp of 30kHz, pulse laser 2 is 2~3000mm/sec.
Controller 8 is according to as the hachure of the pulse laser 2 of the flag condition that sets h, the Q-switch frequency Qf of pulse laser 2, the scanning speed Sp of pulse laser 2 at interval, controls the Q-switch frequency Qf of each scanning speed Sp, Q-switch 1c of switch motion, the X-axis scanning device 5 in the XY scanning device 4 and the Y-axis scanning device 6 of Q-switch 1c respectively.
Thus, the pulse laser of exporting from pulsed laser light source 12 scans along Y direction by Y-axis scanning device 6, and scans along X-direction by X-axis scanning device 5, and incides f θ lens 7.The pulse laser 2 that incides f θ lens 7 is as putting photoscanning on the surface of endoscope 10.The spot diameter r of the pulse laser 2 of this moment assembles by f θ lens 7, thereby forms 5~100 μ m, forms especially below the 40 μ m.
When pulse laser 2 was radiated on the surface of the crust that will form scale 23 27 of endoscope 10, crust 27 colors became white color system.Pulse laser 2 scans on the XY direction of principal axis by each pulse.Like this, the part color of the crust 27 of irradiated with pulse laser 2 becomes white color system by scanning.
That is, before irradiated with pulse laser 2, the color of the outer surface of crust 27 is black.With pulse laser 2 irradiation during to the outer surface of crust 27, crust 27 contained carbon blacks absorb pulse laser 2, are present in the carbon gasification of this illuminated portion.Disappear or tail off at the black content in this stage.
The resinous principle of crust 27 absorbs pulse laser 2 and converts light to heat.The heat that produce this moment makes the macromolecule of thermoplastic resin decompose concurrent bubble.Thus, since different in the part of foaming with the part refractive index that does not have irradiated with pulse laser 2, so do not become black.But diffuse-reflectance takes place in the surface of crust 27 of having shone the part of pulse laser 2, and whitening.Its result is for having formed scale 23 in endoscope 10.
In for example insertion section of endoscope 10 flexible pipe 11, operating portion 12, adapter portion 13, except the display part 21 that is constituted by scale 23 and numerical value 24, also have each display part 22,17~19,20 by laser labelling.Each display part 22,17~19,20 also is to make the part color of crust 27 become white color system by crust 27 irradiated with pulse laser 2 to endoscope 10 to form.
