Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cutting equipment technology, and in particular relates to a casting cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in order to improve the production efficiency of castings and make rational use of production resources, multiple castings can be formed at once in the same casting mold. In this case, all the castings formed in the same mold are connected together (the parts to be cut), so it is necessary to cut the castings. The current cutting method is manual cutting with hand-held cutting tools. This cutting method has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. The staff's work is physically demanding;

[0004] 2. Low work efficiency;

[0005] 3. During operation, a large amount of dust will be generated, resulting in a harsh working environment for staff. Working in this environment for a long time will affect the health of the staff. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a casting cutting machine to improve work efficiency, reduce labor intensity and improve the working environment.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of the present invention is: a casting cutting machine, comprising a machine body, characterized in that: the machine body is provided with a clamping and positioning device driven by a power device, and the clamping and positioning device is provided with a clamping cavity;

[0008] The machine body is also provided with a cutting element driven by a driving device. The cutting element is located in the clamping cavity. The machine body located on both sides of the clamping and positioning device is provided with a material discharge mechanism.

[0009] The machine body is also equipped with a cooling mechanism for the cutting elements.

[0010] As an improvement, the clamping and positioning device includes a feeding rack with the clamping cavity on it. A clamping seat is provided on the feeding rack inside the clamping cavity. A pressure block driven by a first linear power element is provided on the feeding rack above the clamping seat. Vertically arranged transmission elements adapted to the power device are provided on both sides of the feeding rack.

[0011] As a further improvement, the power unit includes a dual power output component driven by a power source, each of the dual power output components driving a rotating shaft, and the two driving ends of the dual power output component synchronously driving a rotating shaft. The reducer drives a drive shaft, and the drive shaft is provided with a drive gear and rotatably mounted in a gearbox. The transmission element is a rack adapted to the drive gear.

[0012] As a further improvement, the feeding rack is provided with at least two sets of the first linear power elements, and each set of the first linear power elements is provided with an adjustment seat at its drive end. The adjustment seat is provided with at least two first guide rods that are vertically slidably mounted on the feeding rack.

[0013] The adjusting seat is also provided with a groove, one end of the pressure block is set in the groove, and the adjusting seat is provided with an adjusting elongated hole at the position corresponding to the groove; both the pressure block and the clamping end of the clamping seat are provided with positioning grooves.

[0014] As a further improvement, the feeding rack located in the clamping cavity is provided with a first baffle on both sides, and a support seat is provided on both first baffles. Multiple support wheels are rotatably mounted on the support seats, and the support wheels abut against the middle of the rack. The feeding rack located on both sides of the rack is provided with a second guide rod.

[0015] As a further improvement, the same driving device synchronously drives two coaxially arranged cutting elements, with a gap between the two cutting elements, and the clamping seat is located between the two cutting elements.

[0016] As a further improvement, at least two sets of the combined structure of the drive device and the two coaxially arranged cutting elements are arranged side by side on the machine body.

[0017] As a further improvement, a second baffle is provided on the machine body located on the sides of the two cutting elements. Multiple second baffles are provided, and each baffle is set in a one-to-one correspondence with the number of columns of the castings on the workpiece being cut.

[0018] The second baffle is vertically mounted on the adjusting rod, which has a first adjusting elongated hole along the width direction of the machine body; a support seat is provided on the machine body at the position corresponding to the adjusting rod, which has at least two second adjusting elongated holes along the length direction of the machine body, and a fixing element passing through the first adjusting elongated hole and the second adjusting elongated hole is provided between the adjusting rod and the support seat.

[0019] As a further improvement, the material discharge mechanism includes a guide plate disposed on the machine body and located on the sides of the two cutting elements, the guide plate being disposed on the machine body and inclined; it also includes a discharge port and a receiving plate corresponding to the guide plate, the receiving plate being inclined and extending to the discharge port.

[0020] As a further improvement, the cooling mechanism for the cutting element includes a bracket mounted on the machine body, a second linear power element mounted on the bracket, a nozzle mounted on the drive end of the second linear power element, and the nozzle being connected to a coolant tank located at the bottom of the machine body via a pipeline.

[0021] After adopting the above technical solution, the effect of the present invention is as follows:

[0022] The cutting machine includes a machine body with a clamping and positioning device driven by a power unit, and a clamping cavity on the clamping and positioning device. The machine body also has a cutting element driven by a drive unit, located within the clamping cavity. Material discharge mechanisms are located on both sides of the clamping and positioning device. The machine body also has a cutting element cooling mechanism. During operation, the workpiece to be cut is placed in the clamping cavity and clamped and positioned by the clamping and positioning device. Then, the power unit drives the clamping and positioning device to move towards the cutting element. The cutting element then cuts the casting on the workpiece. The cut casting is discharged through the material discharge mechanism for centralized collection. During the cutting process, the cutting element is cooled by the cutting element cooling mechanism.

[0023] In conclusion, this cutting machine enables mechanized cutting of workpieces, significantly improving work efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers compared to traditional manual cutting. It also improves the working environment and ensures the health of workers.

[0024] The clamping and positioning device includes a feeding frame with a clamping cavity. A clamping seat is located on the feeding frame within the clamping cavity, and a pressure block driven by a first linear power element is located on the feeding frame above the clamping seat. Vertically arranged transmission elements adapted to the power device are provided on both sides of the feeding frame. Thus, the workpiece to be cut is clamped on the feeding frame through the cooperation of the pressure block and the clamping seat. The movement of the clamping and positioning device with the workpiece to be cut is realized through the cooperation of the transmission elements and the power device, thereby realizing the feeding work during cutting. The structure is simple, and the clamping and feeding effect on the workpiece to be cut is good, laying the foundation for continuous cutting and improving cutting efficiency.

[0025] Because the power unit includes a dual power output component driven by a power source, each of the dual power output components drives a rotating shaft, and the two driving ends of the dual power output component synchronously drive a rotating shaft, the reducer drives a drive shaft, and the drive shaft is equipped with a drive gear and is rotatably installed in the gearbox; the transmission element is a rack and pinion adapted to the drive gear, thus the above structure realizes synchronous driving on both sides of the feeding frame, providing a guarantee for effective and reliable conveying of the cut parts during the cutting process.

[0026] Because the feeding rack is equipped with at least two sets of first linear power elements, the clamping strength and clamping effect on the workpiece being cut are improved. Each set of first linear power elements has an adjusting seat at its drive end, and the adjusting seat has at least two first guide rods that slide vertically on the feeding rack. The adjusting seat also has a groove, with one end of the pressure block positioned within the groove. An adjusting elongated hole is located on the adjusting seat corresponding to the groove, allowing the pressure block's clamping position to be adjusted according to the size of the workpiece being cut, effectively ensuring clamping reliability. Furthermore, the clamping ends of both the pressure block and the clamping seat are equipped with positioning grooves, which effectively improve the positioning effect of the workpiece on the feeding rack, preventing the workpiece from shifting during simultaneous conveying and cutting.

[0027] Because the feeding rack located in the clamping cavity has first baffles on both sides, and support seats on both first baffles, multiple support wheels are rotatably mounted on the support seats, and the support wheels abut against the middle of the rack; the feeding racks located on both sides of the rack have second guide rods, so when cutting the casting on the workpiece, the first baffles block the cut casting pieces and iron chips, effectively playing a safety protection role; in the above working process, the second guide rods guide the feeding; and the support wheels support the rack, preventing the rack from being suspended in the middle and deformed under stress during long-term feeding.

[0028] Because the same drive unit synchronously drives two coaxially arranged cutting elements with a gap between them, and the clamping seat is located between the two cutting elements, the workpiece to be cut is placed between the two cutting elements during operation, and the castings on both sides of the workpiece are cut simultaneously by the cutting elements, which further improves the work efficiency.

[0029] Because the combination structure of the drive unit and two coaxially arranged cutting elements is arranged side by side on the machine body at least two sets, the cutting area in a single cutting cycle is greatly increased through this structure, which helps to improve cutting efficiency and the cutting integrity of the castings on the workpiece.

[0030] Because the machine body located on the sides of the two cutting elements is equipped with a second baffle, and there are multiple second baffles, each baffle is the same as the number of columns of castings on the workpiece being cut and is set one by one, so that each column of castings is blocked by a second baffle to prevent the cut castings from flying out. The comprehensiveness and integrity of the blocking are high, and thus the safety protection is further improved.

[0031] The second baffle is vertically mounted on the adjusting rod, which has a first adjusting elongated hole along the width of the machine body. A support base is provided on the machine body at the position corresponding to the adjusting rod. The support base has at least two second adjusting elongated holes along the length of the machine body. A fixing element is provided between the adjusting rod and the support base, passing through the first and second adjusting elongated holes. The fixing element enables the adjusting rod and the second baffle to be fixedly installed on the support base. The first adjusting elongated hole facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the second baffle and the cutting element. The second adjusting elongated hole facilitates the installation of multiple second baffles and the adjustment of the installation position of the second baffles.

[0032] The material discharge mechanism includes a guide plate mounted on the machine body and located on the sides of the two cutting elements. The guide plate is mounted on the machine body and is inclined. It also includes a discharge port and a receiving plate corresponding to the guide plate. The receiving plate is inclined and extends to the discharge port. Thus, when the cutting elements cut the casting, the guide plate guides it to the receiving plate, and then discharges it through the discharge port for centralized collection. The structure is simple and the material receiving effect is good. At the same time, the guide plate can also block the casting that falls onto the receiving plate and bounces back, thereby avoiding the problem of damage or safety hazards caused by the rebounding casting colliding with the cutting elements.

[0033] The cutting element cooling mechanism includes a bracket mounted on the machine body, a second linear power element mounted on the bracket, and a nozzle mounted on the drive end of the second linear power element. The nozzle is connected to a coolant tank located at the bottom of the machine body via a pipeline, thereby supplying coolant to the nozzle through the coolant tank. The cutting element is then cooled by spraying from the nozzle. The structure is simple, the arrangement is reasonable, and the cooling effect on the cutting element is good.
