[0036] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0037] The workpiece 5 to be cut in this embodiment is described by taking a steel plate as an example.

[0038] This embodiment provides a cutting and sorting device, such as Figure 1As shown, the cutting and sorting device includes a platform 1, a beam 2, a cutting mechanism 3 and a sorting mechanism 4. The platform 1 of the cutting and sorting device is used to place the steel plates to be cut. The beam 2 spans the platform 1 and can move above the platform 1 in a horizontal direction perpendicular to the beam 2. The cutting mechanism 3 includes a cutting head 31, which is arranged on the beam 2 and can move along the length direction of the beam 2. The cutting mechanism 3 can cut the steel plates to be cut placed on the platform 1. The sorting mechanism 4 includes a sorting head 41, which is arranged on the beam 2 and can move along the length direction of the beam 2. The sorting mechanism 4 can grab the cut steel plates to sort the cut steel plates to the designated positions.

[0039] In this embodiment, the cutting mechanism 3 and the sorting mechanism 4 are both arranged on the crossbeam 2, and the cutting mechanism 3 is used to cut the steel plate to be cut into the required shape, and then the cutting mechanism 3 moves to one side, and the sorting mechanism 4 moves over to sort the cut steel plate to the designated area. Compared with a separate cutting machine and sorting machine, it occupies a small area, saves the intermediate handling steps, and greatly improves the efficiency and reduces the workload of operators due to the automated control of cutting and sorting.

[0040] Specifically, the cutting head 31 is a plasma cutting gun, which uses the heat of a high-temperature plasma arc to partially melt and evaporate the metal at the incision of the workpiece 5, and uses the momentum of high-speed plasma to remove the molten metal to form an incision. Plasma arc cutting has a fast cutting speed, high productivity, narrow, smooth, neat, no sticky slag, close to vertical, and good cutting quality.

[0041] The cutting and sorting device further includes two parallel guide rails 7 and a support beam 9. The two guide rails 7 are respectively located on both sides of the platform 1, and the guide rails 7 and the cross beam 2 are perpendicular to each other. A support beam 9 is slidably arranged on each guide rail 7, and both ends of the cross beam 2 are respectively connected to the support beam 9.

[0042] The presence of the two guide rails 7 enables the crossbeam 2 to move accurately above the platform 1, greatly improving the cutting accuracy and facilitating maintenance.

[0043] Furthermore, a heat insulation board 6 is provided on one side of the support beam 9 close to the platform 1 .

[0044] During the cutting process, the high temperature of the plasma arc is used to melt the steel plate to produce the incision, which will generate a lot of heat. In addition, the operation of the whole machine causes the ambient temperature near the cutting and sorting device to rise. If the temperature is too high, the components of the cutting and sorting device will expand due to the high temperature, and even a very small change will affect the accuracy of the whole machine. As the support member of the crossbeam 2, the deformation of the support beam 9 due to heat directly affects the working accuracy of the crossbeam 2. Therefore, adding a heat insulation board 6 to the side of the support beam 9 close to the platform 1 can effectively reduce the heat it receives and ensure the high-precision operation of the cutting and sorting device.

[0045] Preferably, both the cutting mechanism 3 and the sorting mechanism 4 are provided with an anti-collision mechanism, which includes a sensor and an alarm component. The sensor is electrically connected to the alarm component. The sensor can detect whether the cutting mechanism 3 or the sorting mechanism 4 collides. The alarm component can send an alarm signal after the sensor senses a collision. The sorting mechanism 4 and the cutting mechanism 3 can stop suddenly after the sensor senses a collision.

[0046] Specifically, the sensor includes an impact sensor and a signal transmission device, and the alarm device includes a warning light and a buzzer. The impact sensor can sense the vibration caused by the impact, and transmit the signal to the control mechanism through the signal transmission device. After receiving the impact signal, the control mechanism will control the alarm device to flash the warning light and activate the buzzer, and at the same time control the entire cutting and sorting device to stop working.

[0047] Since the cutting mechanism 3 and the sorting mechanism 4 are arranged on the same beam 2, if the two mechanisms collide during operation, huge losses will be caused. The anti-collision mechanism can effectively avoid the collision of the two mechanisms, detect the collision of the two mechanisms at the first time, and then alarm and stop the device through electrical signals to avoid greater losses.

[0048] The cutting mechanism 3 further includes a first lifting assembly 32 and a first horizontal driving assembly 33. The first lifting assembly 32 is arranged on the beam 2, and the plasma cutting gun is arranged on the output end of the first lifting assembly 32, and can move vertically under the drive of the first lifting assembly 32. The first horizontal driving assembly 33 is connected to the first lifting assembly 32, and can drive the first lifting assembly 32 to move along the length direction of the beam 2.

[0049] The plasma cutting gun of the cutting mechanism 3 can move vertically up and down under the drive of the first lifting assembly 32, adapting to cutting work of different heights and having a wider application range. The first lifting assembly 32 can move along the beam 2 under the drive of the first horizontal driving assembly 33, and the working range covers the entire platform 1.

[0050] Specifically, the first horizontal driving assembly 33 includes a linear motor, a slide rail and a slider. The slide rail is arranged along the length direction of the beam 2, the linear motor is arranged on the beam 2 and the output end is connected to the slider, which can drive the slider to move along the length direction of the slide rail, and the first lifting assembly 32 is arranged on the slider, so that under the drive of the linear motor, the first lifting assembly 32 is driven by the slider to move along the length direction of the beam 2.

[0051] The structure of the first lifting assembly 32 can be the same as that of the first horizontal driving assembly 33 , and it is only necessary to set the slide rail in the first lifting assembly 32 along the vertical direction.

[0052] In other embodiments, the first lifting assembly 32 and the first horizontal driving assembly 33 may also be other structures, mainly capable of realizing horizontal and vertical movements.

[0053] The sorting mechanism 4 further includes a second lifting assembly 42 and a second horizontal driving assembly 43. The second lifting assembly 42 is arranged on the beam 2, and the sorting head 41 is arranged on the output end of the second lifting assembly 42 and can move vertically under the drive of the second lifting assembly 42. The second horizontal driving assembly 43 is connected to the second lifting assembly 42 and can drive the second lifting assembly 42 to move along the length direction of the beam 2.

[0054] The sorting head 41 of the sorting mechanism 4 can move vertically up and down under the drive of the second lifting assembly 42, adapting to cutting work of different heights and having a wider application range. The second lifting assembly 42 can move along the beam 2 under the drive of the second horizontal driving assembly 43, and the working range covers the entire platform 1.

[0055] The structures and working principles of the second lifting assembly 42 and the second horizontal driving assembly 43 may be the same as those of the first lifting assembly 32 and the first horizontal driving assembly 33 , and will not be described in detail herein.

[0056] Furthermore, the sorting head 41 includes an electromagnet, which can grab or put down the steel plate by charging and discharging.

[0057] By utilizing the adsorption effect of electromagnets on steel plates, the steel plates can be quickly sorted, and the control can be achieved only by charging and discharging. It has a simple structure and is easy to operate.

[0058] Furthermore, a plurality of rollers 8 are disposed at intervals on the platform 1, and the rollers 8 are in rolling contact with the steel plates.

[0059] After the steel plate is placed on the platform 1, it is necessary to move the steel plate to a suitable position. A plurality of rollers 8 are arranged on the platform 1, which can effectively reduce scratches on the surface of the platform 1 and the steel plate, and at the same time reduce the resistance of moving the steel plate, thereby facilitating operation.

[0060] Exemplarily, the cutting and sorting device also includes a detection mechanism, which can detect the boundary of the steel plate on the platform 1 to determine the position of the steel plate on the platform 1.

[0061] The detection mechanism can quickly locate the position of the steel plate by detecting the boundary of the steel plate, find the base point for the cutting process, and improve efficiency and cutting accuracy.

[0062] Specifically, the detection mechanism includes an infrared emitting device and a receiving device, which can be moved to detect the entire platform 1, and the boundary information of the steel plate is determined according to the position where the infrared rays are blocked by the steel plate.

[0063] Optionally, the cutting and sorting device further comprises an exhaust mechanism, and an air inlet duct of the exhaust mechanism is arranged toward the platform 1.

[0064] In order to reduce the ambient temperature and the dust content in the air, exhaust the entire working area, which can effectively reduce the temperature of the cutting and sorting device, ensure cutting accuracy, and improve the working environment of the operator.

[0065] Specifically, the exhaust mechanism includes a blower, an air inlet duct and an air outlet duct. The air inlet duct is connected to the air inlet of the blower, the air outlet duct is connected to the air outlet of the blower, the air inlet duct is aligned with the working area of ​​the platform 1, and the air outlet duct extends to the outdoors.

[0066] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
