Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fiber thermoplastic honeycomb board equipment, in particular to a cutting mechanism for producing continuous fiber thermoplastic honeycomb board. Background Art

[0002] Honeycomb panels are composed of two surface plates and a honeycomb middle layer filled in between to ensure that the two surface plates are masonry together and work together. The surface plates can be made of different materials: when both surface plates are aluminum plates or steel plates, they are called aluminum honeycomb panels or steel honeycomb panels. When one of the surface plates is stone, aluminum alloy plate, enamel plate, wood, fiberglass, or plastic, they are called stone honeycomb panels, titanium alloy honeycomb panels, enamel honeycomb panels, wood honeycomb panels, fiberglass honeycomb panels, and plastic honeycomb panels. When the middle honeycomb layer is made of aluminum foil, paper foil, and plastic, they are called aluminum honeycomb, paper honeycomb, and plastic honeycomb, respectively. The design concept of the honeycomb panel structure comes from the I-beam structure: the surface plate is equivalent to the wing plate of the I-beam, which mainly bears the normal stress; the middle honeycomb layer is equivalent to the web of the I-beam, which mainly bears the shear stress. The two surface panels have high structural strength and large section inertia moment, thus good rigidity and high bending strength; the middle sandwich layer is inspired by the natural honeycomb structure, using less material, but with high shear strength and good stability; the optimized combination of the surface panels and the honeycomb middle layer makes the honeycomb panel have the advantages of light weight, high strength and good rigidity. If the surface panels and honeycombs are properly selected, good earthquake resistance, heat insulation, sound insulation and other properties can be obtained, and fireproof honeycomb panels, heat insulation honeycomb panels, sound insulation honeycomb panels, etc. can be made.

The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a limit plate is fixed on the right end of the rotating shaft and the rotating rod of the rotating motor, a crawler is connected between the upper and lower adjacent limit plates, and the rotating shaft and the rotating motor are synchronously linked by the crawler, thereby driving the saw blade to rotate and cut, a slider is connected and fixed at the four corners of the front surface of the central vertical plate of the connecting frame, and the slider is rotatably connected to the first guide wheel, and tracks are fixed at the upper and lower ends of the back of the gantry horizontal plate, and the slider is limitedly connected to the track.
