摘要	A coupler for conveniently coupling an articulated arm to a laser housing whereby the laser beam need not be realigned down the articulated arm each time the arm is coupled to the laser housing. The coupler includes a kinematic plate attached to the laser housing, a sleeve rotationally attached to the plate forming a center bore, and a connector attached to an articulated arm. The connector has a cylindrical shaped projecting member that inserts into the bore of the sleeve. Races are formed on the outer surface of the cylindrical member. The sleeve has roller bearings protruding inside the bore to engage the races. Ball bearings are attached to the end of the cylindrical member to engage the kinematic plate. The races are shaped such that when the sleeve is rotated, the cylindrical member is forced toward the kinematic plate until the ball bearings are secured against the kinematic plate. The ball bearings contacting the kinematic plate ensure that the connector is reattached each time with the exact same orientation relative to the kinematic plate and the laser housing. Therefore, no realignment of the beam into the input end of the articulated arm is required after each reattachment.
其他摘要	一种用于方便地将铰接臂连接到激光器壳体的耦合器，由此每次臂连接到激光器壳体时激光束不需要沿关节臂向下重新对准。耦合器包括连接到激光器壳体的运动板，旋转地连接到板上形成中心孔的套筒，以及连接到铰接臂的连接器。连接器具有圆柱形突出构件，其插入套筒的孔中。在圆柱形构件的外表面上形成座圈。套筒具有在孔内突出的滚柱轴承以接合座圈。滚珠轴承附接到圆柱形构件的端部以接合运动板。座圈的形状使得当套筒旋转时，圆柱形构件被迫朝向运动板，直到滚珠轴承固定在运动板上。与运动板接触的滚珠轴承确保每次以相对于运动板和激光器壳体的完全相同的取向重新连接连接器。因此，在每次重新附接之后，不需要将光束重新对准到关节臂的输入端。
