Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of cutting machines, and in particular to a plasma arc cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] In the metal processing industry, plasma arc cutting machines are widely used in cutting various plates due to their high efficiency and precision. Currently, the common plasma arc cutting equipment on the market is mainly divided into two categories: CNC cutting system and manual cutting system. CNC cutting system can realize automatic large-area plate cutting by pre-programming the cutting path, which is suitable for mass production needs; while manual cutting system relies on manual operation of the operator, has high flexibility, and is suitable for complex shapes or small batch customized production.

[0003] The current plasma arc cutting equipment on the market usually needs to be equipped with two independent cutting systems when dealing with large-area plate cutting and subsequent scrap processing. One is a large system for CNC cutting and the other is a small handheld cutting gun for manual fine adjustment or scrap processing. This not only increases the equipment procurement cost and occupies more working space, but also makes the switching operation process between different equipment cumbersome and reduces work efficiency.

[0004] In addition, after completing CNC cutting, the operator must stop the operation of the CNC equipment and move to another handheld plasma cutting equipment for manual cutting. This process is not only time-consuming, but may also lead to inaccurate positioning of the workpiece or repeated labor, affecting the quality of the final product; more importantly, since the two cutting methods use different power supplies and control systems, the existing plasma arc cutting power supply and its related supporting facilities (such as water tanks, compressed air supply systems, etc.) are not fully utilized, resulting in a waste of resources. Therefore, the existing technology has the problems of high equipment cost, inconvenient operation and insufficient resource utilization. Summary of the invention

By adding a manual cutting gun interface to the existing CNC cutting system and using a dual-channel switching component to achieve independent control of the gas circuit and the circuit, the operator can directly use the manual cutting gun to process the scraps after completing the CNC cutting without changing the equipment. This innovative design not only simplifies the operating process and improves work efficiency, but also significantly reduces equipment procurement costs and workspace requirements, while achieving effective utilization of resources and improving the reliability and safety of the overall system.

[0081] At the same time, the second single-connected solenoid valve 960 is electrically connected to the control panel 610 and the second relay 880 respectively. After the signal is given, the second single-connected solenoid valve 960 is opened, and the gas path is connected, so that the cutting device 200 has normal gas pressure to work;

[0082] In the CNC cutting mode, the single-connected solenoid valve 1 950 is in a short-circuit state, while the single-connected solenoid valve 2 960 is in an open state, so as to supply gas to the cutting device 200 through the gas-electric connector 1 631 .

[0083] During CNC cutting, the AC36V of the control transformer 830 passes through the cutting gun switching switch 621. The switch is turned up to the CNC cutting mode, and the control contactor 850 and the relay 860 are closed. The signal of the control solenoid valve body 900 and the single-connected solenoid valve 2 960 on the circuit board of the plasma arc cutting power supply 600 passes through the relay 860, and then controls the CNC cutting solenoid valve body 900 and the single-connected solenoid valve 2 960. When started in the CNC cutting mode, the signal of the control solenoid valve body 900 and the single-connected solenoid valve 2 960 passes through the relay 860 to control the solenoid valve body 900 and the single-connected solenoid valve 2 960 to work, so that the compressed air passes through the solenoid valve body 900 and the single-connected solenoid valve 2 960 and reaches the cutting device 200 through the gas-electric connector 631. At the same time, the small arc current passes through the contactor 850 to the CNC cutting gun on the cutting device 200 to form a small arc current arc, and the cutting device 200 starts to work and cut;

[0084] During manual cutting, the AC36V of the cutting device 200 is controlled through the cutting gun switching switch 621. The switch is turned down to the manual cutting mode, and the control relay 2 880 and the AC contactor 2 870 are closed. The signal of the control solenoid valve body 900 and the single solenoid valve 1 950 on the circuit board of the plasma arc cutting power supply 600 controls the manual cutting solenoid valve body 900 and the single solenoid valve 1 950 through the relay 2 880. When the handheld cutting gun 700 switch is pressed in the manual cutting mode, the signal of the control solenoid valve body 900 and the single solenoid valve 1 950 on the control panel 610 controls the solenoid valve body 900 and the single solenoid valve 1 950 through the relay 2 880, so that the compressed air passes through the solenoid valve body 900 and the single solenoid valve 1 950 to the handheld cutting gun 700. At the same time, the small arc current passes through the contactor 2 870 to the handheld cutting gun 700 to form a small arc current arc, and the handheld cutting gun 700 starts cutting.

[0085] This solution adopts a dual-channel switching control method to disconnect and make the compressed air and small arc current of CNC cutting and manual cutting independent. When working in any mode, there is no compressed air and small arc current on the cutting gun of the other mode, and there will be no current and burning of the cutting gun in one mode when the other mode is working.

[0086] The working principle of the plasma arc cutting machine is as follows: the workbench 100 is equipped with a support grid 110 for supporting the workpiece to be cut, and the cutting device 200 is controlled and driven by the cutting control device 210, and the linear motor 1 320 and the linear motor 2 330 are used to realize the movement in the X-axis and Y-axis directions for automatic cutting. The linear motor 1 320 drives the mounting slide 310 to move forward and backward, while the linear motor 2 330 is installed on the mounting slide 310 and is responsible for the horizontal movement. The two work together to enable the cutting device 200 to move accurately on the workbench 100. In addition, the electric telescopic rod further provides adjustment in the Z-axis direction.

[0087] The plasma arc cutting power supply 600 provides the necessary high current and voltage for the cutting process, and is provided with a storage slot cavity 601 for assembling a dual-channel switching component, including components such as contactor 1 850, relay 1 860, contactor 2 870 and relay 2 880, as well as a drive board 810, a gun protection switch board 820, a transformer 830 and a small arc board 840. In the numerical control mode, these components give signals to relay 1 860 and contactor 1 850 through the control panel 610 to start the arc and start cutting; while in the manual cutting mode, they are operated by sending signals to relay 2 880 and contactor 2 870. At the same time, the solenoid valve body 900 and its matching single-connected solenoid valve 1 950 and single-connected solenoid valve 2 960 ensure that the gas circuits in the two cutting modes operate independently, ensuring that only the currently used cutting gun has compressed air supply whether in the numerical control or manual cutting mode, thereby avoiding safety hazards caused by misoperation. This design achieves efficient, safe and precise cutting of metal materials.
