[0002] Laser cutting technology uses high-energy density laser beam to heat workpiece, so that the temperature rises rapidly, and reaches the boiling point of the material in a very short time, the material begins to vaporize, forming steam, while the steam is sprayed, a cut is formed on the material. Laser cutting technology is widely used in the processing of various materials due to its high precision, high efficiency and wide material adaptability.

Currently, manual cleaning is usually required after the equipment is shut down, and the support plate of the work platform needs to be disassembled for cleaning by manual brushing, thereby affecting the degree of automation and overall productivity of the equipment.

[0054] As a preferred embodiment, the predetermined position is the work area 5, or the cleaning area 6, or the area between the work area 5 and the cleaning area 6.

[0055] When only two work platforms 8 are provided, the two work platforms 8 move between the work area 5 and the cleaning area 6. When one of the work platforms 8 is located in the work area 5, the other work platform 8 is located in the cleaning area 6.

[0056] When three or more work platforms 8 are provided, the three or more work platforms 8 move between the work area 5, the area between the work area 5 and the cleaning area 6, and the cleaning area 6. When one of the work platforms 8 is located in the work area 5, one work platform 8 is located in the cleaning area 6, and the remaining work platforms 8 are located in the area between the work area 5 and the cleaning area 6.

[0057] The moving mechanism can include one, and one moving mechanism is connected to all work platforms 8 respectively.

[0058] Specifically, in this embodiment, the synchronous movement of multiple work platforms 8 is realized by one moving mechanism, which ensures that the work platform to be cleaned is rotated to the cleaning area 6 after moving, and at the same time, there is a work platform 8 in the work area 5.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, the moving mechanism includes:

[0061] A rotating shaft 10 and at least two connecting rods 11 are provided. The rotating shaft 10 is connected to each work platform 8 through the respective connecting rods 11, so as to move the work platform 8 to a predetermined position by rotation.

[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, when all working platforms 8 are controlled by the rotating shaft 10, it is ensured that when the working platform to be cleaned is rotated to the cleaning area 6, one working platform is simultaneously rotated to the working area 5.

[0063] Specifically, the spindle 10 can be located between the working area 5 and the cleaning area 6.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, four identical working platforms 8 are provided, including a first working platform 8a, a second working platform 8b, a third working platform 8c, and a fourth working platform 8d. The four working platforms 8 are evenly distributed around the rotation axis 10 in the circumferential direction.

[0073] The control module is further electrically connected with the cleaning mechanism to control the automatic waste cleaning of the working platform 8 in the cleaning area 6 by the cleaning mechanism, realize the automatic cleaning of the device, and keep the device running at a high rate.

[0074] The working process of the utility model comprises the following steps:

[0075] When the pole piece 1 with the blank area 2 passes through the working platform 8 of the working area 6, the through hole 9 is cut by the laser beam to form the pole lug 3 and the waste 4; most of the waste 4 is sucked away by the negative pressure in the material removal pipeline 7, and the pole piece 1 continues to flow to the next process.

[0076] When the cutting frequency reaches the preset cutting frequency threshold, the working platform 8 to be cleaned is transferred to the cleaning area 11 under the control of the rotating shaft 10 and the connecting rod 11.

[0077] In the cleaning area 11, an automatic cleaning device such as an air knife can be selected for cleaning, or manual cleaning can be performed, and the device main body remains in a running state during the cleaning process, and does not need to be stopped during the cleaning process, ensuring that the overall utilization rate is not affected.

[0078] The advantages or beneficial effects of the above technical solution are that the utility model plans the working area and the cleaning area, and at least two working platforms are provided; when any working platform moves to the working area for operation, most of the waste generated during the operation is removed through the material removal pipeline, and a small amount of waste is accumulated on the working platform, and then the working platform to be cleaned is moved to the cleaning area for cleaning; while cleaning, the other working platform moves to the working area to continue the operation, ensuring the continuity of the operation, enabling the waste cleaning to be performed while the device is not stopped, and improving the overall utilization rate of the device.
