Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to heavy industry machinery technical field, concretely relates to a plasma cutting machine cutting torch precision lifting structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the modern metal processing field, plasma cutting technology is widely used because of its advantages such as high efficiency and ability to cut various metal materials. The lifting structure of the cutting torch of the plasma cutting machine plays a crucial role in cutting quality and precision.

[0003] At present, in many plasma cutting machines, pneumatic lifting devices are mostly used to realize the lifting operation of the cutting torch. The pneumatic lifting device mainly relies on compressed air to push the piston in the cylinder to move, and then drives the cutting torch to lift. However, this pneumatic lifting device has obvious defects. Because air is compressible, it is difficult to achieve accurate position control during pressure change, resulting in low lifting precision of the cutting torch. For example, when cutting some precision metal parts or thin plate materials that require high precision, the pneumatic lifting device is difficult to stably maintain the cutting torch at the ideal height position, which easily causes uneven cutting surface, uneven cutting width and other quality problems, seriously affecting the processing precision and quality of the product.

[0004] In addition, as the service life of the plasma cutting machine increases, the parts of the pneumatic lifting device will gradually wear out, such as the gap between the inner wall of the cylinder and the piston will become larger due to long-term friction, and the aging of the sealing element will cause gas leakage. These problems further exacerbate the position deviation during the lifting of the cutting torch, making the originally limited precision even lower. This not only reduces the working efficiency of the cutting equipment, increases the waste of materials, but also increases the production cost of the enterprise, and limits the further development of plasma cutting technology in the high-precision processing field.

[0005] In summary, the existing pneumatic lifting device of the cutting torch of the plasma cutting machine cannot meet the growing demand for high-precision cutting, and there is an urgent need for a new type of precise lifting structure to solve the above problems, improve the quality and precision of plasma cutting, and promote the technological progress of the metal processing industry.
