[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This figure is a simplified schematic diagram, which only illustrates the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only shows the components related to the present invention.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram of the structure of a plasma cutting straight strip multi-control system provided by the present invention.

[0028] As an example, the control system includes: a CNC host 1, a plasma cutting unit 2, a multi-strip cutting system 3 and a plasma height adjustment controller 4, wherein the plasma cutting unit 2 includes at least one plasma cutting machine; the multi-strip cutting system 3 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the plasma cutting unit 2, and is used to obtain the on / off status of at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting unit 2, and send a control signal to the CNC host 1 based on the on / off status; an input terminal of the CNC host is connected to a first output terminal of the multi-strip cutting system 3 The first output end of the CNC host 1 is electrically connected to the input end of the plasma cutting unit 2, and is used to control the walking and cutting state of the plasma cutting unit 2 based on the control signal sent by the multi-strip cutting system 3; the input end of the plasma height adjustment controller 4 is electrically connected to the second output end of the CNC host 1, and the output end of the plasma height adjustment controller 4 is bidirectionally electrically connected to the plasma cutting unit 2, and is used to control the height of the cutting gun head of the plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting unit 2 based on the control signal sent by the CNC host 1.

[0029] Preferably, Figure 2 As shown, the multi-parallel straight strip cutting system 3 integrates an arc switching circuit 310, a current control circuit 320 and a multi-parallel logic control circuit 330; the input end of the arc switching circuit 310 is respectively connected to the output end of at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting unit 2, for obtaining the arc striking current of the at least one plasma cutting machine; the input end of the current control circuit 320 is electrically connected to the output end of the arc switching circuit 310, and the output end of the current control circuit 320 is electrically connected to the input end of the plasma cutting unit 2, for controlling the arc striking current based on the arc switching circuit 3 10 sends an electrical signal to control the current released by at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting group 2 to reach a preset current; the input end of the multi-parallel logic control circuit 330 is respectively connected to the output end of at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting group 2, and the output end of the multi-parallel logic control circuit 330 is connected to the input end of the CNC host 1 and the plasma height adjustment controller 4, and is used to generate a control signal based on the feedback signal of at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting group 2 and send it to the CNC host 1 and the plasma height adjustment controller 4 respectively.

[0030] Preferably, the multi-parallel logic control circuit 330 is further configured to: when the signals fed back by at least one plasma cutting machine are all high-level signals, generate a first control signal and send it to the CNC host and the plasma height controller respectively; when the signals fed back by at least one plasma cutting machine are low-level signals, generate a second control signal and send it to the CNC host 1 and the plasma height controller 4 respectively. The CNC host 1 controls at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting group 2 to be in a walking cutting state based on the first control signal; the plasma height controller 4 receives the cutting gun voltage of at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting group based on the first control signal and controls the height of the cutting gun based on the voltage; the CNC host 1 controls at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting group to be in a non-walking cutting state based on the second control signal; and the plasma height controller is placed in a non-operating state based on the second control signal. Specifically, the multi-parallel logic control circuit 330 uses digital logic control "AND" and "OR" to complete parallel system control. The basic logic is that if one group experiences an abnormality, the output signal is a fault signal. When the parallel devices are cutting normally and all logic signals are "1", the signal fed back to the CNC host 1 is "1". Based on the feedback signal, the CNC host 1 starts to control at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting group to move and cut. At the same time, it also controls the plasma height adjustment controller 4 to start working.

[0031] Preferably, the multi-parallel logic control circuit 330 is used to generate control signals based on the on / off signals fed back by at least one plasma cutting machine in the plasma cutting unit 2 through AND / OR digital logic control, and send them to the CNC host 1 and the plasma height adjustment controller 4 respectively. Specifically, the electrical signal fed back by the plasma cutting unit 2 to the multi-parallel logic control circuit 330 is an on / off signal. That is, only when all the plasma cutting machines in the plasma cutting unit 2 are in normal working condition will the multi-parallel logic control circuit 330 send a first control signal back to the CNC host 1, so that the CNC host 1 controls the plasma cutting machines in the plasma cutting unit 2 to be in the walking cutting state and the plasma height adjustment controller 4 to be in the working state. The adoption of this solution not only improves the working efficiency of plasma cutting, but also enables the effective feedback of fault information of the plasma cutting machine to the CNC host 1.

[0032] Preferably, the control system further includes a material table 5, and the third output terminal of the CNC host 1 is electrically connected to the material table 5, and is used to control the workpiece to be processed on the material table 5 based on the control signal sent by the multi-strip cutting system 3. That is, when the CNC host 1 receives the first control signal, it synchronously controls the material table 5.

[0034] Preferably, Figure 4 As shown, the current control circuit includes an optocoupler U2, a second transistor Q2, a first relay KD1 and a first indicator light LED1. The first pin of the optocoupler U2 is connected to a +15V voltage through a ninth resistor R9, the second pin is connected to the output end of the arc circuit, the fourth pin is connected to a +15V voltage, the third pin is connected to the base of the second transistor Q2 through a tenth resistor R10, the collector of the second transistor Q2 is connected to the first relay KD1, the emitter of the second transistor Q2 is grounded, the first relay KD1 is connected in parallel with the third diode D3, the first relay KD1 is connected to a +15V voltage via a twelfth resistor R121, one end of the thirteenth resistor is connected between the twelfth resistor R121 and the +15V voltage, and the other end is connected to the first indicator light LED1, and the other end of the first indicator light LED1 is grounded.

Specifically, Figure 4In the figure, the plasma cutting machine group 2 includes 10 plasma cutting machines as an example, that is, it includes 10 signal receiving circuits and 10 digital chips, and the digital chip model is CD4081. Among them, the 10 signal receiving circuits are connected in parallel, and every two digital receiving circuits are connected in parallel through a digital chip, and finally output to the signal generating circuit. The signal generating circuit determines whether the generated control signal is the first control signal or the second notification signal based on the AND / OR logical relationship.

[0036] In the above embodiment, by connecting multiple plasma cutting machines to the multi-parallel straight-strip cutting system, the multiple plasma cutting machines can be controlled to perform cutting movements synchronously, thus avoiding the low cutting efficiency problem existing in the prior art, effectively improving cutting efficiency and reducing production costs. Furthermore, fault signals of the plasma cutting machines can be effectively fed back to the CNC host.
