TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of laser pipe cutting machine, in particular to a three-chuck laser pipe cutting machine and cutting method. BACKGROUND

[0002] Laser pipe cutting machine, as an advanced metal processing equipment, is mainly applied to the cutting processing of various pipe materials. Whether it is round pipe or square pipe, this machine can provide precise cutting operation. Its biggest advantage is high precision and fast cutting ability, which makes laser pipe cutting machine gradually replace traditional cutting equipment in the field of metal processing. Compared with traditional cutting technology, laser pipe cutting not only has fast cutting speed, but also has very high cutting precision, almost no error.

[0003] Most of the existing cutting machines have limitations in design, especially in the adjustment of cutting angle. For example, the patent number CN115647612A is taken as an example. Although this machine is equipped with a transverse cutting displacement device to improve the flexibility and accuracy of cutting, it does not consider more complex application scenarios. Lack of inclination and rotation angle adjustment function. In many cases, such as bevel cutting or cutting at a specific angle, this limitation is particularly important. Without the corresponding angle adjustment device, the operator will encounter difficulties when using this machine to perform special angle cutting tasks, and the expected cutting effect cannot be achieved. This not only limits the application range of the machine, but also may cause waste of materials or decline in processing quality. SUMMARY

[0004] The purpose of the present application is to provide a three-chuck laser pipe cutting machine and cutting method to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a three-chuck laser tube cutting machine, comprising a first mounting plate, wherein a plurality of third rotating seats are fixedly arranged in a rectangular pattern on one side of the first mounting plate, and second rotating seats are fixed between the third rotating seats on the side of the first mounting plate, and a first telescopic rod is sleeved on each third rotating seat, and another identical third rotating seat is sleeved on the end of each first telescopic rod away from the third rotating seat, and a second mounting plate is fixed to the side of the other third rotating seat, wherein a first rotating seat is provided on the side of the second mounting plate close to the first mounting plate, and a plurality of second telescopic rods are sleeved at the four corners of the first mounting plate, wherein a fixing ear is sleeved on one end of each second telescopic rod, and an angle adjustment plate is fixed between the fixing ears, a fixing block is fixed on one side of the adjustment plate, and a fixing element is fixed on the side of the fixing block. The motor has a gear mounted on its output end. An angle plate meshes with the side of the gear. A main limiting block is located on the side of the angle plate near the angle adjustment plate. Several secondary limiting blocks are located on both sides of the main limiting block on the angle plate. A third mounting plate is fixed on the side of the secondary limiting blocks and the main limiting block away from the angle plate. The cutting head body is located on the side of the third mounting plate away from the main limiting block. The first telescopic rod, in conjunction with the first rotary seat and the second rotary seat, adjusts the vertical tilt angle of the second mounting plate by extending and retracting the first telescopic rod. The second telescopic rod, mounted on the second mounting plate, pushes the angle adjustment plate fixed on the fixed ear to move, causing the cutting head to move laterally and providing a cutting path for the cutting head along the direction of the bed body. The motor drives the gear to rotate, thereby pushing the angle plate to rotate, causing the cutting head to rotate.

[0006] Preferably, the first mounting plate has a housing on one side, and the housing has several slots on its side. The housing is used to protect the structure mounted on the first mounting plate and prevent the device from being touched by the operator during operation. The slots on the housing facilitate the wire harness on the cutting head body to pass through, thus avoiding obstructing the wire harness and hindering the movement of the cutting head body.

[0007] Preferably, the angle adjustment plate has a first groove with a certain curvature, and several smaller second grooves are provided on both sides of the first groove. A main limiting block is fitted inside the first groove, and a secondary limiting block is fitted inside the second groove. The curvature of the first and second grooves is coordinated with the main and secondary limiting blocks to rotate around the object being cut when they move.

[0008] Preferably, one side of the angle plate is hollowed out to prevent the angle plate from being obstructed by the second telescopic rod during movement.

[0009] Preferably, the second mounting plate has a through hole of the same size as the motor and the fixing block at the position of the motor, to prevent the motor and the fixing block from being obstructed by the second mounting plate when they move with the angle adjustment plate.

[0010] Preferably, the first mounting plate is fixed on the second chuck, and the second chuck has a first chuck and a third chuck on both sides. The first chuck and the third chuck are respectively clamped at both ends of the bed body, and the second chuck is clamped in the middle of the bed body. The first chuck and the second chuck, together with the third chuck, fix the item to be cut so that the cutting head can cut it.

[0011] Preferably, a second rotating seat is provided between the first rotating seats, and the two cooperate with each other to ensure that the second mounting plate can only be adjusted by tilting up and down.

[0012] The cutting method of a three-chuck laser tube cutter described above includes the following steps:

[0013] Step 1: Several first telescopic rods are divided into upper and lower groups. The upper and lower angles of the second mounting plate are adjusted by extending one group of the first telescopic rods and retracting the other group, so as to tilt the second telescopic rods.

[0014] Step 2: The angle adjustment plate fixed on the fixed ear is moved by extending or retracting the second telescopic rod, providing the cutting head with a cutting path along the direction of the bed body.

[0015] Step 3: The motor rotates, driving the gear to rotate, which in turn pushes the angle plate to move along the first and second slides, causing the third mounting plate to rotate, providing a rotation angle for the cutting head to cut.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0017] This invention achieves multi-angle adjustment of the cutting head through a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod, a motor, gears, an angle plate, an angle adjustment plate, and a third mounting plate.

This not only enables the device to handle the cutting needs of a wider variety of materials but also ensures the efficiency and safety of the cutting process, greatly reducing material loss and waste. Furthermore, this improvement expands the device's application scenarios, enabling its use in more fields, including the precision machining of some special materials. This versatility further meets the diverse cutting needs of users. Attached Figure Description
