[0036] Example 1

[0037] Combined with Figure 1, a processing equipment, comprising: an input roller 1, a centering mechanism 10, a clamping and conveying mechanism 2, a flipping mechanism, a cutting mechanism 3, a control mechanism 4 and an output roller 6; wherein the input roller 1 is provided with a centering mechanism 10, and the input roller 1, the cutting area at the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the workpiece; the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 and the flipping mechanism are both movably arranged along the length direction of the workpiece; the control mechanism 4 is connected to the input roller 1, the centering mechanism 10, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2, the flipping mechanism, the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6; the input roller 1 is used to convey the workpiece, and the centering mechanism 10 is used to center the workpiece; the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 is used to clamp the workpiece and convey it to the cutting area at the cutting mechanism 3, and to clamp the workpiece after processing and cutting, and convey it from the cutting area to the output roller 6; the flipping mechanism is used to flip the workpiece in the cutting area; the cutting mechanism 3 is used to process the workpiece surface in the cutting area, and cut the workpiece; the output roller 6 is used to convey the workpiece.

[0038] The control mechanism 4 is used to control the processing equipment as a whole. The input roller 1, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2, the cutting area at the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6, which are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the workpiece, and the centering mechanism 10 are all connected to the control mechanism and controlled by the control mechanism to realize the corresponding functions and actions. The workpiece processing is carried out in chronological order, and the conveying and centering, conveying, flipping, cutting and output after clamping are carried out. The whole process of workpiece processing is realized automatically, which saves manpower. The overall structure of the equipment is compact, the space occupied is small, and the processing efficiency is high, which reduces the processing cost.

[0039] The control mechanism 4 can be one or several combinations of industrial control chips and systems such as PLC, CAN bus, Profibus, etc., to meet the control response efficiency and stability and reliability of the processing equipment. The centering mechanism 10, the input roller 1, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2, the cutting area at the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6 are arranged in sequence along the length direction of the workpiece; these adjacent mechanisms can be connected to each other or arranged at intervals, which is not limited by the examples listed in this application; on this basis, it can be imagined that the control mechanism 4 is to control the movement, processing and cutting of the workpiece, and the input roller 1, the centering mechanism 10, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2, the flipping mechanism, the cutting mechanism 3, the steel moving car 5 and the output roller 6 are all provided with driving mechanisms, and these driving mechanisms are all connected to the control mechanism 4, and the driving mechanism can be one or several combinations of driving modes such as motors, hydraulics, and cylinders.

[0040] This equipment can meet the cutting processing needs of workpieces of different lengths. The size, length and structural shape of the input roller 1, centering mechanism 10, clamping and conveying mechanism 2, flipping mechanism, cutting mechanism 3, control mechanism 4, steel transfer vehicle 5 and output roller 6 can be designed according to the shape, size and specification range of the workpiece to be cut to meet the needs of different processing conditions.

[0041] As an optional embodiment, it also includes a steel transfer vehicle 5 connected to the control mechanism 4, and the steel transfer vehicle 5 is used to transfer the workpiece from the cutting area to the output roller 6 when the length of the workpiece is less than the set value L1. The set value L1 is the spacing distance between the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6. If the length of the workpiece after cutting is less than the set value L1, in order to prevent the workpiece from falling from the gap between the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6 after processing and cutting, the control mechanism 4 controls the steel transfer vehicle 5 to unload the processed and cut workpiece.

[0042] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the input roller 1 and the output roller 6 have the same structure, both including a roller frame 7, a roller assembly 8, a chain transmission mechanism 9 and a roller power clutch 11; a plurality of roller assemblies 8 are mounted on the roller frame 7 for connection; the chain transmission mechanism 9 is located at the side of the roller frame 7 and contacts the roller assembly 8, and the roller power clutch 11 is connected to the chain transmission mechanism 9; the chain transmission mechanism 9 and the roller power clutch 11 are both connected to the control mechanism 4.

[0043] When the roller frame 7 is short, a short roller frame 49 is formed; when the chain transmission mechanism 9 is short, a short chain transmission assembly 50 is formed. The control mechanism 4 controls the chain transmission mechanism 9 to operate, driving the plurality of roller assemblies 8 mounted on the roller frame 7 to rotate, and the workpiece moves on the rotating roller assembly 8; when the workpiece moves to the specified position, the control mechanism 4 controls the roller power clutch 11 to brake. Through this structure, the structure is compact and occupies a small space, and the control of the moving process and state of the workpiece can be realized, which meets the transportation and transportation of uncut workpieces and completed cutting workpieces, and realizes the automatic coordination with other mechanisms such as the clamping and conveying mechanism 2, the cutting mechanism 3, the flipping mechanism and the steel transfer vehicle 5, which saves costs and has high efficiency. The workpiece is heavy, and the crane directly places the workpiece on the input roller 1 instead of using the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 to directly clamp and convey, which can avoid damage to the clamping and conveying mechanism 2, and realize the rolling conveyance of the workpiece through the input roller 1.

[0044] like Figure 7 and 8As shown, the centering mechanism 10 includes a power motor 12, a slider 13, a guide block 14, a linear guide rail 15, a mounting base 16, a screw 17, a guide wheel 18 and an end plate 19. The end plate 19 is arranged on the mounting base 16. The screw 17 is provided with positive and negative threads. Both ends of the screw 17 are respectively arranged on the end plate 19. The power motor 12 is connected to one end of the screw 17. The screw 17 is provided with a guide block 14 that can move toward each other along the direction of the linear guide rail 15. There are two guide blocks 14 in total. A guide wheel 18 is provided on one side of the guide block 14, and a slider 13 is provided on the other side of the guide block 14. The slider 13 is located on the mounting base 16, and the mounting base 16 is located on the input roller 1.

[0045] The screw 17 is provided with positive and negative threads, and both ends of the screw 17 are respectively arranged on the end plate 19. The screw 17 is sleeved with a guide block 14 that can move toward each other along the linear guide rail 15, and the guide block 14 is provided with a guide wheel 18.

[0046] The power motor 12 drives the screw 17 to rotate, and the guide block 14 located on the screw 17 rotates. The guide wheel 18 in contact with the workpiece and the slider 13 located on the mounting base 16 are driven to slide by the guide block 14 to achieve deviation correction and centering of the workpiece.

[0047] The clamping and conveying mechanism 2 includes a clamping arm, a track and a conveyor. The flipping mechanism and one end of the conveyor are connected to the clamping arm, and the other end of the conveyor is located on the track. The clamping arm is used to clamp the workpiece, and the conveyor is used to transport the workpiece clamped by the clamping arm from the input roller 1 to the cutting area along the track so that the cutting mechanism 3 can process and cut the workpiece in the cutting area. The number of the clamping and conveying mechanisms 2 is at least 2, which is determined according to the length of the workpiece to be processed, and can move along the track.

[0048] like Fig. 9 and 10As shown, the cutting mechanism 3 includes a CNC ground rail 26, a laser 28, a chiller 29, a single cantilever mechanism 31, a dust collector 32, a positioning detection mechanism 33, a Y-axis power device 34 connected to the Y-axis, a control box 35, an X-axis power device 36 connected to the X-axis, a Z-axis power device 37 connected to the Z-axis, an A-axis power device 39 connected to the A-axis, a C-axis power device 40 connected to the C-axis, a lifter 41 and a cutting head 42; the control mechanism 4 is connected to the control box 35, and the control box 35 is connected to the laser 2 8. The chiller 29, the dust collector 32, the positioning detection mechanism 33, the Y-axis power unit 34, the X-axis power unit 36, the Z-axis power unit 37, the A-axis power unit 39, the C-axis power unit 40, the lifter 41 and the cutting head 42 are connected; the X-axis power unit 36, the positioning detection mechanism 33, the Z-axis power unit 37 and the A-axis power unit 39 are all located on the single cantilever mechanism 31, the C-axis power unit 40 is located on the Z-axis, one end of the lifter 41 is connected to the C-axis power unit 40, and the other end of the lifter 41 is connected to the cutting head 42.

[0049] Positioning detection adopts laser induction detection, for example, a laser transmitter is installed on the side of the cutting mechanism 3 moving along the numerical control ground rail 26 to sense and detect the position of the end face of the workpiece.

[0050] The X-axis, Y-axis, Z-axis, A-axis and C-axis constitute a five-axis structure. The control mechanism 4 and the control box 35 control the corresponding power device to drive the corresponding five-axis structure to drive the cutting head 42 to move and process and cut the workpiece. The dust collector 32 is used to remove the dust generated during the processing and cutting process, and the chiller 29 is used to achieve a cooling effect during the cutting process. The CNC ground rail 26 is used for the cutting mechanism 4 to move along the CNC ground rail 26 in the cutting area. The positioning detection mechanism 33 includes a contact sensor, which stops after touching the workpiece and serves as the starting point for processing the workpiece. The short wire groove 38 located on the single cantilever mechanism 31 and the long wire groove 30 located at the CNC ground rail 26 are both used to accommodate the wire harness, which plays a role in combing the wire harness and keeping the overall wiring neat. The control mechanism 4 and the control box 35 control the operation of the laser 28, and then the workpiece is processed and cut by the cutting head 42. The laser 28 utilizes a focused high-power density laser beam to irradiate the material to be cut, causing the irradiated material to quickly melt, vaporize, ablate or reach the ignition point. At the same time, the molten material is blown away with the help of a high-speed airflow (oxygen or compressed air, etc.) coaxial with the light beam, thereby achieving the cutting of the workpiece. As the light beam moves on the material, holes continuously form a very narrow cut, completing the cutting process of the material.

[0051] like Figure 2 , 3As shown in 4, the steel moving vehicle 5 includes a rail 43, a travel motor 44, a frame 45, a table 46, a telescopic bracket 471, a lifting electric cylinder 47 and a roller 48.

The tops of the lifting electric cylinder 47 and the telescopic bracket 471 are connected to the table 46.

[0052] The table 46 is used to place workpieces. The travel motor 44 drives the roller 48 of the steel transfer vehicle 5 to move on the rail 43. The lifting cylinder 47 is raised and lowered to adjust the height of the steel transfer vehicle 5. The telescopic bracket 471 is used to support the table 46.

[0053] Example 2

[0054] This embodiment proposes a processing method, which corresponds to a processing device in any technical solution in Embodiment 1, such as Fig.11 As shown, it includes: S101, the workpiece arrives at the input roller 1, and the control mechanism 4 controls the centering mechanism 10 to center the workpiece on the input roller 1; the workpiece can be manually hoisted onto the input roller 1, the control mechanism 4 starts the input roller 1 and the centering mechanism 10, the chain transmission mechanism 9 operates, driving a plurality of roller assemblies 8 mounted on the roller frame 7 to rotate, and the workpiece moves on the rotating roller assemblies 8. During this process, the power motor 12 of the centering mechanism 10 drives the screw 17 to rotate, and the guide block 14 located on the screw 17 rotates, and the guide wheel 18 in contact with the workpiece, and the slider 13 located on the mounting base 16 are driven by the guide block 14 to slide, so as to realize the deviation correction and centering of the workpiece; when the workpiece moves to the specified position, the control mechanism 4 controls the roller power clutch 11 to brake.

[0055] S102, the control mechanism 4 controls the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 to clamp the workpiece, and conveys the workpiece from the input roller 1 to the cutting area at the cutting mechanism 3; after the centering is completed, when the workpiece is conveyed to the end of the input roller 1, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 clamps the workpiece, and conveys the workpiece from the input roller 1 to the cutting area at the cutting mechanism 3, so as to facilitate the cutting mechanism 3 to process and cut the workpiece.

[0056] S103, the cutting mechanism 3 generates an actual processing path according to the workpiece parameters imported by the control mechanism 4, and processes and cuts the workpiece surface with the cooperation of the flip mechanism; the model, size, category, processing target and other parameters of the workpiece are imported into the cutting mechanism 3, so that the cutting mechanism 3 generates an actual processing path that matches the workpiece processing target, the control box 35 controls the corresponding power device to drive the corresponding five-axis structure to drive the cutting head 42 to move, and the workpiece is processed and cut. The dust collector 32 is used to remove the dust generated during the processing and cutting process, and the chiller 29 is used to achieve a cooling effect during the cutting process. The CNC ground rail 26 is used for the cutting mechanism 4 to move along the CNC ground rail 26 in the cutting area. The positioning detection mechanism 33 includes a contact sensor, which stops after touching the workpiece and serves as the starting point for processing the workpiece. The short wire groove 38 located on the single cantilever mechanism 31 and the long wire groove 30 located at the CNC ground rail 26 are both used to accommodate the wire harness, which plays a role in combing the wire harness and keeping the overall wiring neat. The control mechanism 4 and the control box 35 control the laser 28 to work, and then the workpiece is processed and cut by the cutting head 42. The laser 28 utilizes a focused high-power density laser beam to irradiate the material to be cut, causing the irradiated material to quickly melt, vaporize, ablate or reach the ignition point. At the same time, the molten material is blown away with the help of a high-speed airflow (oxygen or compressed air, etc.) coaxial with the light beam, thereby achieving the cutting of the workpiece. As the light beam moves on the material, holes continuously form a very narrow cut, completing the cutting process of the material.

[0057] S104, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 clamps the workpiece after processing and cutting, and conveys it from the cutting area to the output roller 6; removes the workpiece on the output roller 6. The chain transmission mechanism 9 of the output roller 6 operates, driving the roller assemblies 8 mounted on the roller frame 7 to rotate, and the workpiece moves on the rotating roller assemblies 8; when the workpiece moves to the specified position, the control mechanism 4 controls the roller power clutch 11 to brake. Through this set of processing methods, the cutting processing of the workpiece can be completely realized, and the automatic complete processing and cutting process can be realized, without transferring the workpiece between multiple devices, saving labor costs, reducing floor space, and improving processing efficiency.

[0058] When the length of the workpiece after cutting is less than the set value L1, step S104 also includes the steel transfer vehicle 5 transferring the workpiece after processing and cutting from the cutting area to the output roller 6, and the set value L1 is the interval between the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6. In order to prevent the workpiece from falling from the interval between the cutting mechanism 3 and the output roller 6 after processing and cutting, the control mechanism 4 controls the steel transfer vehicle 5 to unload the workpiece after processing and cutting.

[0059] If the length of the workpiece residue after cutting is less than L2, when the new workpiece reaches the cutting area and maintains a welding gap with the workpiece residue, the new workpiece stops moving and welding is performed, and S102-S104 are repeated to cut the workpiece after welding.

[0060] The value of L2 is set according to the length of the workpiece after cutting and processing, and can be set to be the same as the target length of the workpiece, or twice the target length of the workpiece, etc., and is not limited by the examples in this embodiment; if the target length of the workpiece is 2 meters, the system automatically calculates the length of the remaining material. If the length of the remaining material is less than 2 meters, the system defaults to no longer processing the remaining material and enters the material receiving stage;

[0061] After starting the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 to drive the new workpiece into the cutting area, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 that clamps the residual material moves toward the new workpiece, and stops moving when the residual material and the new workpiece meet the welding gap requirements; or the residual material remains stationary, and the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 drives the new workpiece into the cutting area, and stops moving when the residual material and the new workpiece meet the welding gap requirements; manual intervention, or automatic movable welding equipment is used for material connection and welding. After the material connection is completed, the clamping and conveying mechanism 2 moves back and forth to complete the support and clamping of the entire workpiece, and the entire workpiece is moved to the cutting area to wait for further cutting processing.

[0062] The cutting process includes hole processing, groove processing, locking processing, fixed length processing, marking processing and / or marking processing. The corresponding processing process can be selected and set in the control box 35 of the cutting mechanism 3. After the user selects, the corresponding parameter dialog box will pop up, the system automatically generates processing data, and manual verification and confirmation are performed.

[0063] This method requires less manpower, only one person is needed, and the footprint is small, about 240m 2 , saving about 40% compared with the traditional method, with a small heat-affected area and small material deformation; the slit ratio is small, about 0.2-1mm (the slit is different for different plate thicknesses); the processing speed is fast and the efficiency is high; the processing surface quality is good, which is conducive to subsequent process production; the cutting process does not contact the workpiece, has little impact on the workpiece, and will not cause scratches on the workpiece surface; energy consumption is saved by more than 40% compared with traditional production lines.

[0064] The present invention and its embodiments are described schematically above, and the description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. Therefore, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by it and designs a structural method and an embodiment similar to the technical solution without creativity without departing from the purpose of the invention, they shall all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
