Detailed Implementation

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0028] The stroke guide mechanism of a large-stroke, wide-format laser cutting machine is usually installed on both sides of the laser cutting machine to drive the laser cutting machine to move along the trajectory.

[0029] During the cutting process, a traveling gear and rack are often used to drive the cutting machine. The transmission between the gear and rack inevitably produces tooth backlash. Due to manufacturing and assembly errors of the gear, elastic deformation and thermal expansion during gear transmission, and tooth lubrication, for large-stroke movements, as the number of rotations of the gear in one direction accumulates, the tooth backlash increases, the meshing effect between the gear and rack decreases, affecting the stability of the laser cutting machine's transmission, and thus causing errors in the dimensions of the cut workpiece.

[0030] In response to the above technical issues, Figure 1 This diagram shows the overall structure of the stroke guide mechanism for a large-stroke, wide-format laser cutting machine. Figure 1 In this large-stroke wide-format laser cutting machine, the stroke guide mechanism includes a base 100 and a slide plate 200 slidably connected to the base 100. On one side of the slide plate 200, several tooth blocks 110 are arranged along its trajectory to form a rack.

[0031] Figure 2 A structural schematic diagram of the slide plate at position 200 is shown; Figure 3 A schematic diagram of the structure at the auxiliary gear 220 is shown; Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the middle, below the skateboard 200, from top to bottom, are arranged the following:

[0032] Rotate the main gear 210 connected to the slide plate 200;

[0033] The auxiliary gear 220 is rotatably connected to the main gear 210. The external teeth of the auxiliary gear 220 coincide with the external teeth of the main gear 210, and both the main gear 210 and the auxiliary gear 220 mesh with the tooth block 110.

[0034] The connecting piece 230 is rotatably connected to the shaft of the main gear 210, and the other end of the connecting piece 230 is connected to the end of the secondary gear 220 that is away from the main gear 210;

[0035] An elastic member 240 is connected between the connector 230 and the main gear 210. The elastic member 240 intersects the connector 230 on the projection plane of the main gear 210.

[0036] The elastic element 240 applies a tensile force to the connecting element 230, driving the secondary gear 220 to rotate relative to the main gear 210.

[0037] During the movement, the connecting piece 230 is stretched by the elastic member 240 and has a tendency to rotate in one direction. When tooth backlash occurs during the meshing of the main gear 210 and the tooth block 110, the auxiliary gear 220 is driven by the connecting piece 230 to rotate relative to the main gear 210 to fill the tooth backlash between the main gear 210 and the tooth block 110, thereby improving the stability during the movement and indirectly improving the cutting accuracy of the laser cutting machine.

[0038] Figure 3 In the middle, a slide rail 250 is provided on the auxiliary gear 220, and a slide rod 260 is slidably connected in the slide rail 250. The slide rod 260 is connected to the connecting piece 230.

[0039] The connector 230 is driven to rotate relative to the secondary gear 220 along the track of the slide 250, so as to change the orientation of the rotation trend of the secondary gear 220.

[0040] In practical use, one end of the drive connector 230 slides along the track of the slide rail 250. At this time, the connector 230 rotates around the axis of the secondary gear 220. As the connector 230 and the elastic member 240 coincide in the upward direction, the tensile force generated by the elastic member 240 on the connector 230 reaches its maximum. As the connector 230 continues to rotate, the tension of the elastic member 240 on the connector 230 gradually decreases, and the direction of the rotation trend of the connector 230 driving the secondary gear 220 changes to adapt to the different directions of the main gear 210 when it is traveling, thus improving the applicability of the lifting device.

[0041] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of the elastic element 240 is shown. Figure 4 In the middle, the elastic element 240 includes:

[0042] Rotate the sleeve 241 connected to the main gear 210;

[0043] The insertion rod 242 is inserted into the sleeve 241, and the other end of the insertion rod 242 is rotatably connected to the connector 230.

[0044] A spring 243 is installed inside the sleeve 241, and the two ends of the spring 243 are respectively connected to the sleeve 241 and the insert rod 242.

[0045] In specific use, the inserting rod 242 can slide inside the sleeve 241, the elastic member 240 is self-extended, the spring 243 is elastically deformed with the relative distance between the inserting rod 242 and the sleeve 241 changed, the elastic member 240 has the resettable property, the structure can guarantee the stability of the elastic member 240 when self-extended.

[0046] Figure 4 In the specific use, the end face of the main gear 210 towards the auxiliary gear 220 is connected with a fixed frame 270, the fixed frame 270 is slidingly connected with a threaded rod 290, the threaded rod 290 is rotationally connected with the sleeve 241, the threaded rod 290 is rotationally connected with a sliding block 280 inside;

[0047] The sliding block 280 can drive the sleeve 241 to slide along the track of the fixed frame 270 when rotating.

[0048] In use, rotating the sliding block 280 can drive the threaded rod 290 to slide along the track of the fixed frame 270, thereby driving the sleeve 241 to move synchronously, forcing the elastic member 240 to be self-extended, on one hand, the elastic member 240 can be actively compressed when the rotating trend of the auxiliary gear 220 is artificially changed, and the elastic member 240 can be stretched again after the orientation is changed, which can reduce the difficulty of changing the orientation of the auxiliary gear 220, on the other hand, the stretching interval of the elastic member 240 can be actively adjusted, and the tension of the connecting member 230 can be adjusted.

[0049] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, but not limit it.
