Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of jade cutting equipment, specifically a large-size jade wire cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Jade is a mineral that can be cut and polished to create various jade artifacts. Before processing, the outer skin of the jade raw material needs to be removed using a wire cutting machine before the inner jade material is processed. The wire cutting machine uses a diamond wire to move back and forth, causing the wire to cut the workpiece to achieve the processing purpose. Compared with traditional saw blade cutting, it has a higher material utilization rate and saves more material. The cut is smoother and flatter, and the kerf can reach the millimeter level, making it suitable for cutting precious materials.
[0003] However, since jade raw materials are mostly irregular in shape, existing wire cutting machines can only adjust the cutting position by moving the jade up and down on the feed platform when cutting large, irregular jade stones, while the cutting line only performs horizontal cutting. This results in waste when cutting large, irregular jade raw materials, and the excess jade material needs to be cut again, leading to low efficiency. At the same time, the large amount of material wasted after cutting large jade stones reduces the size of the jade raw materials that can be carved into works of art later, greatly reducing the artistic value of the jade raw materials. Therefore, this paper proposes a wire cutting device for large-size jade stones. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention provides a large-size jade wire cutting device, which has the advantage of minimizing waste after cutting large, irregular jade stones, and solves the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a large-size jade wire cutting device, comprising a base, a cover on the outer side of the top of the base, a body on the top of the base and the top of the base, a feed platform on one side of the front of the body, positioning guide wheels on both sides of the body, a cutting wire being guided and connected to the positioning guide wheels and driven to move by the body, limiting sleeves on both sides of the feed platform on the top of the base, a circumferentially rotating linkage shaft in the middle of the limiting sleeve, positioning guide wheels being movably fitted at the top of the linkage shaft, the cutting wire passing around the positioning guide wheels on both sides of the feed platform, and the cutting wire above the feed platform being adjusted to the tilt angle corresponding to the inclined surface of the top of the jade as the positioning guide wheels rotate.
[0006] Preferably, the limiting sleeve is composed of a first shell and a second shell, the first shell and the second shell are the same in shape and size, and the first shell and the second shell are fixedly connected together by bolts.
[0007] Preferably, the top and bottom of the limiting sleeve are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and the width of the arc-shaped grooves is the same as the outer diameter of the linkage shaft.
[0008] Preferably, a ball is movably fitted in the middle of the inner cavity of the limiting sleeve, and the linkage shaft is movably connected to the ball.
[0009] Preferably, the bottom of the linkage shaft is provided with a longitudinal slide groove located below the limiting sleeve. A push shaft is movably fitted in the longitudinal slide groove. One end of the push shaft is rotatably sleeved with a push rod. An L-shaped support plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side plate. A third hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the L-shaped support plate. The end of the push rod away from the push shaft is fixedly connected to the piston shaft of the third hydraulic cylinder.
[0010] Preferably, the side plate facing the body and the front side are respectively fixedly connected to a limiting horizontal plate, the limiting horizontal plate is provided with a limiting groove, and the limiting sleeve is respectively fixedly connected to a limiting shaft on the side facing the body and the front side, the end of the limiting shaft away from the limiting sleeve is movably sleeved with the limiting horizontal plate.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the longitudinal chute is rotatably connected to a linkage rod via a rotating shaft, and the bottom end of the linkage rod is rotatably connected to the piston shaft at the top of the second hydraulic cylinder via a rotating shaft. The second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the top of the machine base.
[0012] This invention provides a large-size jade wire cutting device, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0013] 1. This large-size jade wire cutting equipment uses independently rotatable positioning guide wheels on both sides of the feed platform to guide the cutting line. This allows the cutting line above the feed platform to be adjusted to the corresponding tilt angle of the jade's top slope. This enables the cutting of the surface of large-size jade with a sloped top, avoiding the problems of existing jade wire cutting machines that rely solely on the feed platform to move the jade up and down to adjust the cutting position, while the cutting line only performs horizontal cutting. This results in waste when cutting irregular large-size jade materials, and the excess jade material needs to be cut again, leading to low efficiency. Furthermore, the large amount of material wasted after cutting large-size jade materials reduces the size of the jade material that can be carved into artworks later, significantly diminishing the artistic value of the jade material.
[0014] 2. This large-size jade wire cutting equipment uses a linkage shaft that is connected to the ball inside the limiting sleeve. Combined with the horizontally movable structure of the limiting sleeve, this allows the positioning guide wheels on both sides of the feed platform to adjust the cutting line to match the inclined state of the top slope of the large-size jade, while still keeping the cutting line taut. This effectively ensures the cutting effect on large-size jade. Attached Figure Description

[0022] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-2A large-size jade wire cutting device includes a base 1, a cover 2 on the outer side of the top of the base 1, a body 3 on the top of the base 1 mounted on the cover 2, a feed platform 4 on the top of the base 1 located on one side of the front of the body 3, positioning guide wheels 6 on both sides of the body 3 on the top of the base 1, a cutting wire 5 connected to the positioning guide wheels 6 and driven to move by the body 3, and a side plate 7 fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 outside the positioning guide wheels 6, with a cutting wire 5 fixedly installed in the middle of the outer side of the side plate 7. The first hydraulic cylinder 8 has a piston shaft that passes through the side plate 7 and is fixedly connected to the first hydraulic cylinder 8. The side of the linkage block 9 away from the side plate 7 is fixedly connected to the limit sleeve 10 by bolts. The middle of the limit sleeve 10 is movably fitted with the linkage shaft 12. The linkage shaft 12 rotates around the circumference of the limit sleeve 10 and is fixed. The top of the linkage shaft 12 is movably fitted with the positioning guide wheel 13 through the bearing. The shape and size of the positioning guide wheel 13 are the same as those of the positioning guide wheel 6, and the cutting line 5 passes around the middle of the positioning guide wheel 13.
[0024] Please see Figures 3-5 The limiting sleeve 10 has arc-shaped grooves 11 at both its top and bottom. The width of the arc-shaped grooves 11 is the same as the outer diameter of the linkage shaft 12, ensuring that the linkage shaft 12 rotates only along the circumference of the limiting sleeve 10 during operation. A ball 17 is movably fitted in the middle of the inner cavity of the limiting sleeve 10, and the linkage shaft 12 is movably connected to the ball 17. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 2 The bottom of the linkage shaft 12 has a longitudinal groove 18 located below the limit sleeve 10. A push shaft 19 is movably fitted inside the longitudinal groove 18. One end of the push shaft 19 is rotatably connected to a push rod 22. An L-shaped support plate is fixedly installed on the inner side of the side plate 7. A third hydraulic cylinder 23 is fixedly installed on the L-shaped support plate. The end of the push rod 22 away from the push shaft 19 is fixedly connected to the piston shaft of the third hydraulic cylinder 23. The piston shaft is driven to move horizontally by the push rod 22, thereby causing the bottom end of the linkage shaft 12 to rotate around the limit sleeve 10, thus enabling the linkage... The positioning guide wheel 13 at the top of shaft 12 rotates in the opposite direction around the limiting sleeve 10, thereby adjusting the positioning guide wheel 13 to an inclined state. The bottom end of the longitudinal slide groove 18 is rotatably connected to the linkage rod 20 via a rotating shaft. The bottom end of the linkage rod 20 is rotatably connected to the piston shaft at the top of the second hydraulic cylinder 21 via a rotating shaft. The second hydraulic cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the machine base 1. When the positioning guide wheel 13 is adjusted to an inclined state, the piston shaft driven by the second hydraulic cylinder 21 also pushes the linkage shaft 12 to move the positioning guide wheel 13 upward. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 6As shown, the positioning guide wheels 13 on both sides of the jade can be adjusted to be one up and one down and tilted, so that the surface of large-sized jade with a sloping top can be cut. This avoids the problem that existing jade wire cutting machines can only rely on the feed platform 4 to carry the jade up and down to adjust the cutting position, while the cutting line 5 only performs horizontal cutting. This results in waste when cutting irregular large-sized jade raw materials, and the excess jade raw materials after cutting need to be cut again, resulting in low efficiency. At the same time, the large amount of raw material wasted after cutting large-sized jade raw materials reduces the size of the large-sized jade raw materials that can be carved into works of art in the later stage, which greatly reduces the artistic value of the jade raw materials.
[0025] Please continue reading. Figures 1-2 A limiting horizontal plate 15 is fixedly connected to the side of the side plate 7 facing the machine body 3 and the front side, respectively. A limiting groove 16 is opened on the limiting horizontal plate 15. A limiting sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting sleeve 10 facing the machine body 3 and the front side, respectively. The end of the limiting shaft 14 away from the limiting sleeve 10 is movably sleeved with the limiting horizontal plate 15. The limiting groove 16 on the limiting horizontal plate 15 limits the vertical direction of the limiting shaft 14, ensuring that when the piston shaft of the first hydraulic cylinder 8 pushes the limiting sleeve 10, the limiting sleeve 10 only moves horizontally. When the positioning guide wheels 13 on both sides of the feed platform 4 are adjusted to an inclined state, so that the cutting line 5 above the feed platform 4 is inclined, the piston shaft driven by the first hydraulic cylinder 8 pushes the limiting sleeve 10 to drive the positioning guide wheels 13 to move horizontally, ensuring that the positioning guide wheels 13 after being rotated into an inclined state can still maintain the stable guiding function of the positioning guide wheels 6 for the cutting line 5.
[0026] Please see Figures 3-5 The limiting sleeve 10 is composed of a first shell 101 and a second shell 102. The first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are the same in shape and size, and the first shell 101 and the second shell 102 are fixedly connected together by bolts, so that the ball 17 can be installed into the limiting sleeve 10.
[0027] When cutting irregularly shaped large jade stones, this large-size jade wire cutting equipment places and fixes the large jade stone on the feed platform 4. Then, the piston shaft of the third hydraulic cylinder 23 drives the push rod 22 to move the push shaft 19 horizontally, causing the linkage shaft 12 to drive the positioning guide wheel 13 to rotate around the limit sleeve 10. At the same time, the second hydraulic cylinder 21, located on the side with higher jade stone height, drives the piston shaft to move the linkage shaft 12 upward, and the first hydraulic cylinder 8 drives the piston shaft to move the limit sleeve 10 horizontally. This ensures that the cutting line 5 remains taut even after the positioning guide wheels 13 on both sides of the feed platform 4 rotate to an inclined state, until the cutting line 5 between the two positioning guide wheels 13 is adjusted to be as shown. Figure 6The angle of inclination shown is approximately the same as the top slope of the jade. Then, the feed platform 4 drives the jade to move longitudinally, adjusting the cutting thickness of the top surface of the jade. The machine body 3 starts and controls the movement of the cutting line 5 to cut the top surface of the jade. At the same time, the feed platform 4 drives the jade to rotate until the outer surface of the top of the jade is cut.
