Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of laser cutting equipment technology, and more specifically, to a laser cutting device for backlight aluminum substrates. Background Technology

[0002] CN202122177810.2 provides a laser cutting and positioning device for LED backlights. The device includes: a positioning frame plate; two hydraulic cylinders, both fixedly mounted on the top inner wall of the positioning frame plate; a connecting plate fixedly mounted on the output shafts of the two hydraulic cylinders; two compression springs fixedly mounted on the bottom of the connecting plate; a movable U-shaped plate fixedly mounted on the bottom ends of the two compression springs; and a rotating rod rotatably mounted inside the movable U-shaped plate, with one end extending outside the movable U-shaped plate. The laser cutting and positioning device for LED backlights provided by this invention has the advantages of convenient use, simple operation, automatic feeding, and improved work efficiency.

[0003] The aforementioned technology uses bullseye beads and friction strips to limit the material's position. However, for laser cutting, although laser cutting can accurately calculate the cutting depth, it has a certain degree of error regarding the thickness of the material. During cutting, it is inevitable that the bullseye beads or even the friction strips will be encountered, leading to corrosion of the bullseye beads and friction strips. Furthermore, the existing technology is not stable enough in limiting the material's position. The material may be affected by collisions with other components during cutting, causing displacement of the material and resulting in errors in the cutting pattern. Moreover, this limiting method requires moving the material, which may not be able to support small materials. Additionally, debris generated during the cutting process may enter the interior of the laser cutting device, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. Summary of the Invention

[0018] 3. Beneficial effects

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this invention are:

[0020] 1) In use, the laser cutting device for backlight aluminum substrates drives the first support plates to move in opposite directions or in opposite directions via the first bidirectional lead screw, so that the distance between the first support plates matches the backlight aluminum substrate. Moving the movable plate causes the toothed plate to drive the gear to rotate, which in turn drives the screw to rotate. The screw drives the pressure plate to press down, thereby limiting the backlight aluminum substrate. The operator only needs to move the movable plate by the handle, and the pressure plate can limit the backlight aluminum substrate through the connection of the gear and the toothed plate. It is convenient and quick, making the backlight aluminum substrate more stable during the cutting process and preventing the backlight aluminum substrate from moving due to collisions with other parts during the cutting process, which would cause errors in the cutting pattern.

[0021] 2) When using the laser cutting device for backlight aluminum substrate, the second bidirectional lead screw is rotated, which causes the fixed block to drive the second support plate to move in opposite directions or in opposite directions, so that the spacing between the second support plates matches the backlight aluminum substrate. Then, the backlight aluminum substrate is placed on the second support plate to achieve support for the backlight aluminum substrate, thereby increasing the cutting range of the backlight aluminum substrate by the laser cutting device.

[0022] 3) When the laser cutting device for backlight aluminum substrate is in use, the debris generated during the cutting process of the backlight aluminum substrate is absorbed by a vacuum cleaner. The scraps that the vacuum cleaner cannot absorb fall directly onto the slide plate and are stored in the storage box through the slide plate, thus realizing the collection of debris.

[0032] Example 1:

[0033] While laser cutting can accurately calculate the cutting depth, it has a certain degree of error regarding the thickness of the sheet material. During cutting, it is inevitable to encounter bullseye beads or even friction strips, which can lead to corrosion of the bullseye beads and friction strips. Furthermore, the current technology is not stable enough in terms of limiting the sheet material, and the sheet material may be affected by collisions with other components during cutting, causing displacement of the sheet material and resulting in errors in the cutting pattern. The following solutions are proposed to address these issues.

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 5A laser cutting device for backlight aluminum substrates includes an operating table 1. A movable frame 2 is mounted on top of the operating table 1 and can move on the operating table 1. A laser cutting device 3 is installed inside the movable frame 2 and can move within the movable frame 2. The laser cutting device 3 is a conventional laser cutting device in the prior art. A first support plate 5 is movably connected to the upper surface of the operating table 1 below the laser cutting device 3. A first slot 8 is provided on the inner side of the first support plate 5 for placing the backlight aluminum substrate. A movable plate 9 is movably connected inside the first slot 8. A second slot 10 is formed on one side of the movable plate 9. A pressure plate 11 is movably connected to the inner wall of the second slot 10 and can move up and down within the inner wall of the second slot 10. A screw 16 is threadedly connected inside the movable plate 9, and the bottom end of the screw 16 is rotatably connected to the pressure plate 11. A gear 17 is provided on the outer surface of the screw 16 above the movable plate 9, and a support rod 14 is provided on the upper surface of the first support plate 5. A toothed plate 15 matching the gear 17 is provided on the surface of the support rod 14. The first bidirectional lead screw 4 drives the first support plates to move in opposite directions or in opposite directions, so that the distance between the first support plates matches the backlight aluminum substrate. Moving the movable plate 9 causes the toothed plate 15 to drive the gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw 16 to rotate. The screw 16 drives the pressure plate 11 to press down, thereby limiting the backlight aluminum substrate. The operator only needs to move the movable plate 9 by the handle 12. The connection between the gear 17 and the toothed plate 15 can realize the limiting of the pressure plate 11 on the backlight aluminum substrate. It is convenient and quick, making the backlight aluminum substrate more stable during the cutting process and preventing the backlight aluminum substrate from moving due to collisions with other parts during the cutting process, which would cause errors in the cutting pattern.

[0035] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a second fixing plate 32 is provided on the side surface of the operating table 1, a first bidirectional lead screw 4 is provided on the side of the second fixing plate 32, and a screw hole 27 matching the first bidirectional lead screw 4 is provided at the end of the first support plate 5. The first support plate 5 is connected to the first bidirectional lead screw 4 through the screw hole 27, thereby realizing the opposite movement or back movement of the first support plate 5.

[0036] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a guide rod 7 is provided on the top of the operating table 1, and an movable hole 31 matching the guide rod 7 is provided inside the first support plate 5. The first support plate 5 is movably connected to the operating table 1 through the guide rod 7 provided in the movable hole 31, thereby realizing the stability of the first support plate 5 when moving on the operating table 1.

[0037] As a further embodiment of the present invention: a second sliding groove 29 is provided on the inner wall of the first slot 8, and sliders 30 matching the second sliding groove 29 are provided at both ends of the movable plate 9. The movable plate 9 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the first slot 8 through the sliders 30 provided in the second sliding groove 29. A handle 12 is provided on the upper surface of the movable plate 9, thereby realizing the movement of the movable plate 9. The movable plate 9 can be moved by the handle 12.

[0038] As a further aspect of the present invention: the pressure plate 11 is provided with a connecting hole 26 that matches the screw 16, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the pressure plate 11 and the screw 16. The lower surface of the pressure plate 11 is provided with a rubber pad 33, which can increase the friction between the pressure plate 11 and the backlight aluminum substrate.

[0039] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the upper surface of the operating table 1 is provided with a first sliding groove 28 that matches the movable frame 2, thereby realizing the movement of the movable frame 2 on the operating table 1. The upper surface of the operating table 1 inside the first sliding groove 28 is provided with a baffle 21, which can prevent cutting debris from entering the first sliding groove 28.

[0040] The invention's usage steps are as follows: When using this laser cutting device for backlight aluminum substrates, the operator first rotates the first bidirectional lead screw 4 according to the dimensions of the backlight aluminum substrate, causing the first support plates 5 to move in opposite directions or in opposite directions, so that the spacing between the first support plates 5 matches the backlight aluminum substrate. Then, the backlight aluminum substrate is placed on the first slot 8. Next, the operator moves the movable plate 9 by the handle 12, causing the toothed plate 15 to drive the gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the screw 16 to rotate. The screw 16 drives the pressure plate 11 to press down, thus limiting the position of the backlight aluminum substrate. Then, the required... The cutting pattern is input to the control terminal, which drives the laser cutting device 3 to cut the backlight aluminum substrate. This solution only requires the operator to move the movable plate 9 through the handle 12. The connection between the gear 17 and the toothed plate 15 can realize the limiting of the pressure plate 11 on the backlight aluminum substrate, which is convenient and quick. It makes the backlight aluminum substrate more stable during the cutting process and prevents the backlight aluminum substrate from moving due to collisions with other parts during the cutting process, which would cause errors in the cutting pattern. In addition, the first support plate 5 supports the backlight aluminum substrate and avoids the corrosion of the support components by laser cutting.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] When the sheet material is small, it may not be able to provide support. The following solutions can be used to address this issue.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 5The difference from Embodiment 1 lies in that the first support plate 5 has a first movable groove 13 inside, and a second support plate 6 is disposed inside the first movable groove 13. The second support plate 6 is movably connected to the first support plate 5 through the first movable groove 13. A fixing block 20 is disposed at the end of the second support plate 6. A first fixing plate 18 is disposed on the upper surface of the operating table 1. A second bidirectional lead screw 19 connected to the fixing block 20 is disposed on the inner side of the first fixing plate 18. A second movable groove 25 matching the fixing block 20 is disposed on the upper surface of the operating table 1 below the second bidirectional lead screw 19. By rotating the second bidirectional lead screw, the fixing block drives the second support plates to move towards each other or away from each other, so that the spacing between the second support plates matches the backlight aluminum substrate. Then, the backlight aluminum substrate is placed on the second support plate to achieve support for the backlight aluminum substrate, thereby increasing the cutting range of the backlight aluminum substrate laser cutting device.

[0044] The steps of using this invention are as follows: When the size of the backlight aluminum substrate is small, i.e., the first support plate 5 supporting the backlight aluminum substrate may affect the operation of the laser cutting device 3, the second bidirectional lead screw 19 can be rotated to make the fixing block 20 drive the second support plates 6 to move towards each other or away from each other, so that the spacing between the second support plates 6 matches the backlight aluminum substrate. Then, the backlight aluminum substrate can be placed on the second support plate 6 to achieve support of the backlight aluminum substrate, and then cutting can be performed. This increases the cutting range of the backlight aluminum substrate laser cutting device.

[0045] Example 3:

[0046] Debris generated during the cutting process may enter the interior of the laser cutting device, affecting the normal operation of the equipment. The following solutions can be used to address this issue.

[0047] Please see Figures 1 to 5 The difference from embodiments 1 and 2 is that a sliding plate 22 is provided below the operating table 1, and the sliding plate 22 is tilted at a 45-degree angle to facilitate the sliding of block-shaped scraps into the storage box 23. The storage box 23 is provided at the tail end of the sliding plate 22. A vacuum cleaner 24 is installed on the inner wall of the operating table 1. The vacuum cleaner 24 is a conventional vacuum cleaner in the prior art. During the cutting process of the backlight aluminum substrate, the generated debris is absorbed by the vacuum cleaner. The scraps that the vacuum cleaner cannot absorb after cutting fall directly into the sliding plate 22 and enter the storage box 23 for storage, thus realizing the collection of debris.

[0048] The steps of using this invention are as follows: When the laser cutting device for backlight aluminum substrate is in use, the debris generated during the cutting process of the backlight aluminum substrate is absorbed by the vacuum cleaner 24. The scraps that the vacuum cleaner 24 cannot absorb are directly dropped into the slide plate 22 and stored in the storage box 23 through the slide plate 22, thus realizing the collection of debris.

[0049] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention. Various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the present invention as claimed. The scope of protection of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
