Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of insulation board production and processing, and in particular to an automatic insulation board cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] Current insulation boards consist of a substrate and a fiber reinforcement layer on the surface of the substrate. The substrate is made of foamed cement, which involves adding a foaming agent to cement to create fine pores, thus providing insulation. However, foamed cement has relatively low strength. Therefore, to improve strength, a fiber-reinforced modified foamed cement-based foam insulation board is created by adding a mesh fabric to the surface of the foamed cement substrate. This significantly enhances its strength.
[0003] In the production process of insulation boards, they need to be cut to the appropriate length for transportation and use. Currently, the general process in factories is to remove the produced insulation boards of a certain length from the production line, and then manually push them through a cutting machine. This method cannot directly cut insulation boards that slide along the production line, resulting in low automation. Cutting insulation boards with a saw blade generates a large amount of dust, causing serious dust pollution, safety hazards, and poor working conditions for workers. Furthermore, existing cutting machines cause the insulation boards to shift under stress, resulting in low cutting precision and poor cut quality. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic insulation board cutting device with a simple structure and reasonable design. This device can complete the cutting without angular deviation even when the insulation board is moving normally on the production line. Moreover, because it is an automated cutting device, it avoids the health hazards of dust to workers.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides an automatic cutting device for insulation boards, including a conveying mechanism, a movable frame movably connected to the conveying mechanism, a cutting mechanism connected to the movable frame, and a measuring mechanism connected to the cutting mechanism;
[0006] The conveying mechanism includes a conveyor belt, which conveys the insulation board to be cut.
[0007] The movable frame is located above the conveyor belt, and the movable frame is equipped with a translation drive mechanism that can translate longitudinally along the conveying mechanism.
[0008] The end of the movable frame facing the insulation board to be cut is set as the front end. The front end of the movable frame is provided with a first guide rail. The first guide rail is horizontally set and perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the conveying mechanism. The first guide rail is slidably connected to a first slider. The first slider is connected to a connecting plate. The connecting plate is connected to a cutting motor. The cutting motor is driven by a circular saw.
[0009] The movable frame is equipped with a first slider driving mechanism;
[0010] The measuring mechanism is provided at the rear end of the movable frame. The measuring mechanism includes an extension member arranged longitudinally along the conveying mechanism. The extension member is connected to a clamping structure. The clamping structure is fixedly connected to a first cylinder. The cylinder rod of the first cylinder is hinged to a contact member, which is located below the first cylinder.
[0011] The bottom of the clamping structure is connected to an inductive switch, which is signal-connected to a control cabinet. The control cabinet is signal-connected to the cutting motor, the translation drive mechanism, and the first slider drive mechanism.
[0012] Furthermore, the inductive switch includes a switch base with a through hole through which the contact element passes;

A spring is sleeved on the connecting rod, one end of the spring abuts against the tail of the movable block, and the other end of the spring abuts against the switch base.
[0014] The movable block presses against the contact element by the spring compression;
[0015] A pressing block is provided at the tail end of the connecting rod, and a signal switch is provided near the pressing block on the switch base. The signal switch is connected to the control cabinet.
[0016] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a first conveying frame, the first conveying frame includes longitudinal beams, a first crossbeam is connected between the longitudinal beams, and a longitudinal conveyor belt support beam is provided on the first crossbeam;
[0017] The longitudinal beam is provided with a wheel rail at the front, and limit blocks are provided at both ends of the wheel rail.
[0018] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a track wheel disposed at the bottom of the movable frame, a drive motor is disposed on the movable frame, the drive motor is drivenly connected to at least one track wheel, and the track wheel runs on the wheel rail;
[0019] The control cabinet is mounted on the movable frame;
[0020] The longitudinal beam is equipped with a first limit switch, and the signal of the first limit switch is connected to the control cabinet.
[0021] Furthermore, the contact element includes a straight rod with a U-shaped bending rod at its lower end. When the first cylinder extends, the bending rod contacts the conveyor belt, and both ends of the bending rod clamp the conveyor belt.
[0022] Furthermore, the clamping structure includes a first clamping plate and a second clamping plate, which are located on both sides of the elongated member, and are connected by bolts to form a fixed clamping shape for the elongated member;
[0023] The first clamping plate is fixedly connected to the first cylinder on the side opposite to the extension member, and the induction switch is provided at the bottom of the side of the first clamping plate opposite to the extension member.
[0024] Furthermore, two second crossbeams are provided at the rear of the longitudinal beam. The second crossbeams are higher than the longitudinal beam, and a longitudinal guide rail support beam is connected between the second crossbeams. The guide rail support beam is provided with a second guide rail.
[0025] The first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are provided with a second slider on the side opposite to the elongated member, and the second slider is slidably connected to the second guide rail.
[0026] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism also includes a second conveying frame, which is located in front of the first conveying frame. A first connecting beam is provided between the first and second conveying frames. The first connecting beam is respectively provided with a first conveyor belt roller and a second conveyor belt roller. The distance between the first conveyor belt roller and the second conveyor belt roller is a set value.
[0027] The circular saw runs on the upper side between the first conveyor belt roller and the second conveyor belt roller;
[0028] The second conveyor runs at the same speed as the first conveyor.
[0029] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism also includes a third conveyor frame, which is located behind the first conveyor frame, and the third conveyor frame operates at a speed greater than that of the first conveyor frame.
[0030] Furthermore, the first slider driving mechanism includes a second cylinder, the cylinder rod of the second cylinder is hinged to a rocker arm, the end of the rocker arm is provided with a slide rod, the slide rod is slidably connected to a slide groove, the slide groove is fixedly connected to the first slider, and the slide groove is arranged longitudinally along the first conveyor frame;
[0031] The other end of the swing arm is hinged to the longitudinal axis of the movable frame, the cylinder rod of the second cylinder is hinged to the middle section of the swing arm, and the tail of the second cylinder is hinged to the side of the movable frame; the second cylinder is a bidirectional cylinder.
[0032] Furthermore, a second limit switch is provided at both ends of the first guide rail, and the second limit switch signal is connected to the control cabinet.
[0033] During operation, the first cylinder pushes the contact component towards the conveyor belt. When the insulation board to be cut is conveyed in front and pushes the contact component, the contact component deflects to a certain angle and squeezes the movable block. The movable block overcomes the spring pressure and causes the pressing block to press the signal switch.
[0034] The signal switch transmits a signal to the control cabinet, which then controls the cutting motor to start the circular saw and controls the first slider drive mechanism and translation drive mechanism to operate. The movable frame moves towards the rear end of the first conveyor frame at the same speed as the conveyor belt on the first conveyor frame, while the circular saw moves from one side of the insulation board to be cut to the other side.
[0035] When the second limit switch senses the first slider, the circular saw completes one cut. The control cabinet commands the cutting motor to stop, the second cylinder to stop, the first cylinder to retract, and the drive motor to drive the movable frame to the front end of the first conveyor frame.
[0036] Subsequently, the cut insulation board section enters the third conveyor and is quickly dragged away by the third conveyor.
[0037] When the first limit switch senses the movable frame, the control cabinet commands the drive motor to stop and commands the first cylinder to push the contacting part towards the conveyor belt, waiting for the next work cycle.
[0038] The beneficial effects of this solution can be seen from the description above. It features a simple structure and reasonable design. Because the circular saw can move in the same direction and at the same speed as the insulation board, it can complete cuts without angular deviations even when the insulation board is moving normally on the production line. Furthermore, because the cutting is automated, it avoids the health hazards of dust to workers. Attached Figure Description
