[0024] This steel beam drilling and cutting lock production line equipment uses a driving motor to operate a screw, which raises the lifting platform to a specified height and extends the electric telescopic rods at both ends. The stabilizing blocks then fix the lifting platform at the specified height, allowing the height of the assembly line to be adjusted to a specified value and kept stable. This enables all three processes to be completed on the assembly line, thus adapting to different production needs of steel beam drilling and cutting locks, improving production efficiency, and reducing the waste of labor resources.
[0025] This steel beam drilling and cutting lock production line equipment uses a hydraulic telescopic rod to extend and retract, moving a reset rod to a designated position. This limits the workpiece conveyed on the roller conveyor, ensuring it is transported at the center of the roller conveyor and preventing obstruction caused by the workpiece being at the edge of the roller conveyor.

[0032] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments;
[0033] This embodiment provides an integrated production process for drilling, cutting, and locking steel beams, characterized by the following steps:
[0034] S1, loading and barcode scanning; the steel beam is placed on the roller conveyor equipment by a gantry crane; manual barcode scanning transmits the data information of the steel beam to the central control cabinet;
[0035] S2, the central control cabinet automatically generates NC1 files based on data information using the software model and merges them into a new PNC file. A single PNC file can drive the operation of all equipment on the production line.
[0036] S3, Drilling; The steel beam is transported to the high-speed three-dimensional drilling automated equipment via a roller conveyor system for drilling; A roller conveyor system is placed on one side of the high-speed three-dimensional drilling automated equipment to transfer the beam to the next step.
[0037] S4, Cutting; The drilled steel beam is transported to the automated plasma cutting equipment via a roller conveyor for cutting; A roller conveyor is placed on one side of the automated plasma cutting equipment to transfer the beam to the next step.
[0038] S5, Locking; The cut steel beams are transported to the double-sided locking automated equipment via roller conveyor for locking.
[0039] S6, Unloading; The processed steel beams are transported to the stockpiling area via roller conveyor equipment.
[0040] As mentioned above, the fully automatic drilling and cutting lock equipment enables the three processes to be integrated into a production line, allowing for automated operation. A new equipment execution procedure standard has been established, which eliminates the need for workers to manually input the operating procedures of individual machines according to the drawings. After optimization, the NC1 files automatically generated by the model can be merged into a new PNC file, and a single PNC file can drive the operation of all equipment on the production line.
[0041] Furthermore, the roller conveyor equipment includes a conveyor frame 1, a conveyor motor 2 installed on one side of the conveyor frame 1, and multiple roller conveyors 3 rotatably installed inside the conveyor frame 1, the roller conveyors 3 being driven by the conveyor motor 2;
[0042] In actual production, the drilling process uses high-speed three-dimensional drilling automated equipment, the cutting process uses plasma cutting automated equipment, and the locking process uses double-sided locking automated equipment. The above three types of equipment are set at the edge of the assembly line frame 1, so that three processes can be carried out simultaneously on one assembly line, thereby improving production efficiency. A base 4 is fixed below the assembly line frame 1. Tentacles 5 are welded on the opposite side walls of the base 4. The bottom walls of the four tentacles 5 are flush with the bottom wall of the base 4, thereby keeping the base 4 and the structure on it stable.
[0043] A bottom groove 6 is formed on one side of the bottom wall of the base 4. A lifting motor 7 is vertically installed on the top wall of the bottom groove 6. The inner cavity of the base 4 is opened in its top wall. Side grooves 8 are formed on both sides of the inner cavity of the base 4. The output shaft of the lifting motor 7 is coaxially connected to a screw 9. The screw 9 is vertically set in the side groove 8, and both ends of the screw 9 are rotatably connected to the base 4. The screw 9 is located in one side groove 8, and a slide rod 10 is welded in the other side groove 8.
[0044] A lifting platform 11 is also provided inside the base 4. One end of the lifting platform 11 is threaded onto the screw 9, and the other end is slidably sleeved onto the slide rod 10. The screw 9 and the slide rod 10 are symmetrical about the two ends of the lifting platform 11. Support feet 12 are welded to the four corners of the bottom wall of the assembly line frame 1, and the four support feet 12 are welded to the four corners of the top wall of the lifting platform 11. Multiple inner edge grooves 13 are formed on the opposite side of the two side grooves 8. Each inner edge groove 13 is provided with an electric telescopic rod 14 and a stabilizing block 15 connected to each other. The two ends of the electric telescopic rod 14 are respectively connected to the inner wall of the inner edge groove 13 and the stabilizing block 15. The multiple inner edge grooves 13 on the same side of the lifting platform 11 are equally spaced in the vertical direction, so that the lifting platform 11 can be fixed when it is raised to multiple different heights. Slots 16 are formed on both sides of the lifting platform 11, and the stabilizing blocks 15 on both sides of the lifting platform 11 are respectively inserted into the two slots 16.
[0045] On both sides of the assembly line frame 1, protruding seats 17 are fixedly welded. The inner cavity of the two protruding seats 17 is formed on the opposite side. Hydraulic telescopic rods 18 are welded to the inner walls of the two protruding seats 17. The opposite ends of the two hydraulic telescopic rods 18 are connected to movable blocks 19, so that when the hydraulic telescopic rods 18 extend or retract, they can drive the movable blocks 19 to move horizontally. The side wall of the movable block 19 fits against the inner wall of the protruding seat 17. The opposite side wall of the two movable blocks 19 is connected to a reset rod 20. The position of the workpiece transportation can be limited by the two reset rods 20, so that the workpiece is always at the center of the roller conveyor 3.
[0046] The steel beam drilling and cutting lock production line equipment consists of three parts: a high-speed three-dimensional drilling automated machine for drilling, an automated plasma cutting machine for cutting, and a double-sided locking automated machine for locking. All three types of equipment are located on the side of the production line frame 1. This allows the production line motor 2 to pause operation when the original workpiece of the steel beam drilling and cutting lock is transported to the corresponding processing equipment, enabling the equipment to perform drilling, cutting, and locking processes. After processing, the lock is transported to the next processing equipment via a roller conveyor.
[0047] Before conveying the original workpiece of the steel beam drilling and cutting lock, drive the two hydraulic telescopic rods 18 to extend, drive the two movable blocks 19 to move closer to each other, and move the two reset rods 20 to the designated position. The two reset rods 20 must be symmetrical on the assembly line frame 1 so that the two reset rods 20 can limit the original workpiece of the conveyed steel beam drilling and cutting lock, so that the original workpiece of the steel beam drilling and cutting lock is always at the center of the roller conveyor 3.
[0048] In actual processing, the height of the original workpiece of the steel beam drilling and cutting lock can be adjusted according to the height of the three types of equipment mentioned above. The adjustment method is as follows: drive the lifting motor 7 to drive the screw 9 to rotate, so that the lifting platform 11 drives the assembly line frame 1 and the four support legs 12 on it to rise to the specified height, and make the slots 16 on both sides of the lifting platform 11 face the openings of two inner edge slots 13. Then drive the two electric telescopic rods 14 to extend, so that the two stabilizing blocks 15 respectively fit into the two slots 16, and fix the lifting platform 11 at the specified height, so that the equipment can process the original workpiece of the steel beam drilling and cutting lock normally.
