DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown:

[0024] A high-precision air duct cutting machine comprises a cutting structure 1 and a supporting structure, wherein the supporting structure comprises a supporting body 2 and two supporting assemblies, wherein the supporting assembly comprises a rectangular central seat 3, wherein the central seat 3 is hinged with supporting rods 4 on the periphery thereof, wherein the ends of the supporting rods 4 are hinged with supporting seats 5, and push rods 6 are arranged between adjacent supporting seats 5; a rotating seat 7 is coaxially rotatably connected to the middle part of the supporting body 2, wherein a rotating device for driving the supporting body 2 to rotate is arranged on the rotating seat 7, and an adjusting rod 8 coaxially connected with threads is threadedly passed through the rotating seat 7 and the central seat 3; a support rod 9 parallel to the adjusting rod 8 is arranged on one side of the supporting body 2, a deflection motor 10 is arranged at the end of the support rod 9, and a push rod 11 is hinged at the output end of the deflection motor 10, and a locking pin (conventional technical means, so not drawn in the figure) for limiting the rotation of the push rod 11 is arranged at the connection between the support rod 9 and the push rod 11, and the cutting structure 1 is arranged at the end of the push rod 11, and the push rod 6, the support rod 9 and the push rod 11 are all telescopic structures, and an electric telescopic rod is adopted in this embodiment.

[0025] In this solution, when the air duct needs to be cut as a whole, the support body 2 and the support assembly are installed to ensure that the support body 2 is located between the two center seats 3, the top rod 11 is deflected so that the top rod 11 is perpendicular to the adjusting rod 8, and then the deflection of the top rod 11 is limited by the locking pin; the device is placed in the air duct as a whole, the adjusting rod 8 is parallel to the length direction of the air duct, and it is ensured that the cutting assembly is facing the cutting position; when the air duct is a circular air duct, all the push rods 6 of the two support assemblies are controlled to extend at the same time, and the push rods 6 push the support seats 5 at both ends to drive the support rods 4 to deflect until the support seats 5 are both against the side walls of the air duct; when the air duct is a rectangular air duct, the horizontal push rods 6 in the two support assemblies are controlled to extend at the same time until the support seats 5 are against the two sides of the air duct, and then the longitudinal push rods 6 in the two support assemblies are controlled to extend at the same time until the support seats 5 are against the corners of the air duct. At this time, the support body 2 is driven to rotate by the rotating device. In this process, the extension and retraction of the support rods 9 are used to ensure that the cutting assembly contacts the side walls of the air duct and then the cutting operation is performed.

[0026] When it is necessary to make an opening on the side wall of the air duct, the position of the support body 2 and one of the support assemblies is exchanged, the top rod 11 is deflected, so that the top rod 11 is parallel to the adjusting rod 8, and the deflection of the top rod 11 is limited by the locking pin, and the device is placed in the air duct as a whole, the adjusting rod 8 is perpendicular to the length direction of the air duct, and ensures that the cutting assembly is facing the opening position of the air duct, and then the push rod 6 is extended and retracted to make the support seats 5 of the two support assemblies respectively abut against the side wall of one side of the air duct; when a circular opening is required, the cutting assembly is kept against the side wall of the air duct by extending and retracting the support rod 9 and the top rod 11, and it is only necessary to drive the support body 2 to rotate; when a rectangular opening is required, the cutting assembly is kept against the side wall of the air duct by extending and retracting the support rod 9 and the top rod 11, and the top rod 11 is driven to deflect by the deflection motor 10, thereby driving the cutting assembly to perform linear cutting, and then the support body 2 is rotated multiple times to adjust the cutting direction, and the cutting operation of the rectangular opening can be completed.

[0027] In this solution, the support components at both ends of the cutting device are used to form multi-point supports on the inner wall of the air duct, which can effectively stabilize the cutting device and prevent the cutting device from shaking and affecting the cutting accuracy. In addition, the multi-point support method can be applied to various air ducts, and can also perform length cutting and side wall opening operations, and has a wide range of uses.

[0028] In this embodiment, an auxiliary support structure is also provided between adjacent support seats 5, and the auxiliary support structure includes two mounting seats 12 rotatably connected to the corresponding side walls of the support seats 5, and a latch is detachably connected between the mounting seats 12 and the support seats 5 (conventional technical means, so it is not drawn in the figure), and a plurality of support parts 13 are provided between the mounting seats 12, and a connecting piece 14 of a telescopic structure is provided between adjacent support parts 13; mounting grooves are provided on both end surfaces of the support part 13, and a vertical support shaft 16 is rotatably connected in the mounting groove, and a torsion spring is provided between the support shaft 16 and the mounting groove, and both ends of the connecting piece 14 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the adjacent support shaft 16; the side walls of the support part 13 adjacent to the mounting seat 12 are hinged with end rods 15, and torsion springs are also provided at the hinges, and the ends of the end rods 15 are fixedly connected to the adjacent support shafts 16, and a cylinder 17 for pushing the end rods 15 to deflect is hinged on the mounting seat 12.

[0029] In this solution, when the air duct is cut as a whole, the adjustment seat is rotated to make the support part 13 parallel to the adjustment rod 8; when the side wall of the air duct is opened, the adjustment seat is rotated perpendicular to the support part 13 and parallel to the adjustment rod 8; when the support seat 5 moves, the telescopic structure of the connecting member 14 ensures that the auxiliary support structure remains connected to the support seat 5, and when the support seat 5 contacts the side wall of the air duct, the end of the support part 13 also contacts the side wall of the air duct; by setting up an auxiliary support structure, the side wall area of ​​the air duct between the two support seats 5 is supported, and the contact points between the device and the side wall of the air duct are increased to prevent the support force of the support seat 5 from being concentrated, which would cause the side wall of the air duct near the support seat 5 to be excessively deformed.

[0030] In addition, when the air duct is circular, the end rod 15 is pushed by the cylinder 17, and the auxiliary support structure is driven to bend toward the side wall of the air duct through the expansion and contraction of the connecting piece 14 and the cooperation of the torsion spring, so that the support part 13 of the auxiliary support structure fits with the curved side wall of the air duct to form a stable support.

[0031] In this embodiment, an air groove 18 is coaxially opened at the end of the support part 13, and a suction cup 19 connected to the air groove 18 is arranged at the end of the support part 13. A through groove 20 connected to the air groove 18 is vertically opened on the support part 13, and a pressure plate 21 is vertically slidably connected in the through groove 20. A conduction rod 22 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressure plate 21, and a synchronization rod 23 of a telescopic structure is arranged between adjacent conduction rods 22; a hydraulic cylinder 24 facing the end rod 15 is arranged on the mounting seat 12, and a synchronization rod 23 is also hinged between the end of the hydraulic cylinder 24 and the adjacent conduction rod 22.

[0032] In this solution, when the end of the support part 13 contacts the side wall of the air duct, the suction cup 19 also contacts the side wall of the air duct; at this time, the synchronous rod 23 is pushed to move by the hydraulic cylinder 24, and the synchronous rod 23 drives the transmission rod 22 to move in the direction away from the support part 13, and the transmission rod 22 drives the pressure plate 21 to move synchronously, so that the area where the through groove 20 is connected to the air groove 18 is expanded, resulting in a decrease in the pressure inside the suction cup 19, and a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup 19, so that the suction cup 19 is adsorbed on the side wall of the air duct, so that the support part 13 applies an inward supporting force to the side wall of the air duct, and prevents the side wall of the air duct from being deformed outward due to the outward force of the cutting component, thereby improving the cutting accuracy of the air duct. In addition, when the cutting component is cutting, coolant is sprayed on the cutting position to prevent heat accumulation on the side wall of the air duct, which causes the suction cup 19 to deform and affects the stability of the suction of the suction cup 19.

[0033] In this embodiment, the through groove 20 passes through the air groove 18, and a sealing plate 31 is slidably connected to the end of the through groove 20. The sealing plate 31 and the pressure plate 21 are symmetrically arranged about the air groove 18. Reversing cylinders 28 are obliquely arranged on both sides of the conduction rod 22. A rotating shaft 25 rotatably connected to the middle of the reversing cylinder 28 is penetrated, and the rotating shaft 25 is perpendicular to the conduction rod 22. The end of the rotating shaft 25 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the through groove 20, and a reversing gear 26 located inside the reversing cylinder 28 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 25. Tooth plates 27 are meshed on both sides of the reversing gear 26. The tooth plates 27 are slidably connected to the corresponding side walls of the reversing cylinder 28, and the opposite ends of the tooth plates 27 are hinged to the corresponding sealing plates 31 and the pressure plate 21.

[0034] When the conduction rod 22 drives the pressure plate 21 to move upward, the pressure plate 21 drives the reversing cylinder 28 to deflect through the corresponding tooth plate 27, and drives the tooth plate 27 to move relative to the reversing cylinder 28 at the same time. The tooth plate 27 drives the other tooth plate 27 to move in the opposite direction relative to the reversing cylinder 28 through the engagement of the reversing gear 26. The other tooth plate 27 drives the sealing plate 31 to move in the opposite direction relative to the pressure plate 21, thereby accelerating the expansion of the connecting area between the through groove 20 and the air groove 18, reducing the pressure in the suction cup 19 more quickly, and increasing the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the suction cup 19, thereby strengthening the adsorption force of the suction cup 19 on the side wall of the air duct and improving the stability of the auxiliary support structure in supporting the side wall of the air duct.

[0035] In this embodiment, a positioning gear 30 is coaxially fixed on the rotating shaft 25, and positioning grooves facing the positioning gear 30 are opened on both sides of the through groove 20. A clamping plate 29 is slidably connected in the positioning groove, and the end of the clamping plate 29 is arc-shaped. An elastic reset member is arranged between the clamping plate 29 and the positioning groove.

[0036] During the adsorption process of the suction cup 19, the sealing plate 31 squeezes the arc-shaped end of the clamping plate 29 when it moves, causing the clamping plate 29 to move toward the positioning gear 30 until the clamping plate 29 clamps the positioning gear 30 to limit the rotation of the support shaft 16, thereby limiting the deflection of the connecting member 14, thereby strengthening the locking of the auxiliary support structure and preventing the auxiliary support structure from bending, thereby affecting the support stability of the side wall of the air duct.

[0037] In this embodiment, a rubber layer is provided on the pressing plate 21 , the sealing plate 31 and the clamping plate 29 .

[0038] The rubber layer is provided to improve the sealing performance of the suction cup 19 during adsorption, thereby ensuring the connection strength during adsorption. Finally, it should be noted that the above preferred embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention rather than to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail through the above preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to the form and details without departing from the scope defined by the claims of the present invention.
