Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of construction equipment, specifically to a method and equipment for cutting artificial stones. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with the deepening of urban renewal, the protection and restoration of historical buildings has received increasing attention from society and the government. Urban renewal and renovation must effectively strengthen the protection of historical culture, which places higher demands on the quality and effectiveness of the protection and restoration of historical buildings. Modern historical buildings are numerous, diverse in type and form. Among them, the exterior wall cladding is the most direct manifestation of the building's appearance and artistic expression. Due to historical and regional limitations such as origin, construction, and cost, a mixture of natural stone and imitation stone materials is often used in modern historical buildings. Imitation stone is one such common imitation stone material, possessing high value for protection and inheritance in terms of architectural art, science and technology, and traditional craftsmanship. Due to later coating coverage, weathering, and external wear, the original texture of the imitation stone in most historical buildings is blurred and the lines are uneven, making it a key area for restoration during protection and renovation.

[0003] However, conventional or traditional artificial stone wall construction uses stone chips as aggregate, which are mixed with cement and water and applied to the building surface. After hardening, the stone texture is manually chopped using tools such as axes. This method has the following disadvantages: First, it is highly dependent on the experience of the craftsmen, and it is not easy to control the chopping force evenly, resulting in uneven texture and depth depending on the workers and the time of construction. Second, because it is entirely manual, the construction efficiency is very low. Third, in recent years, due to the loss of craftsmen and the shortage of workers, large-scale, high-standard renovation projects often face the embarrassing situation of "no workers available," which indirectly leads to increased construction costs and hinders the excavation, inheritance, and development of traditional craftsmanship. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the technical problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a tool and method for cutting artificial stone, which enables precise, efficient and green construction of artificial stone in a semi-automatic manner. It uses multiple adjustable supports to fit various wall surfaces and uses a chopping head with adjustable direction and force to achieve multi-directional and multi-depth cutting of artificial stone textures.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A stone-cutting construction equipment includes a frame, a power system, a vertical transmission system, a horizontal transmission system, a chopping transmission system, and a chopping head. The frame includes a base and a gantry. The gantry is fixed to one side of the upper surface of the base. The power system is installed on the base. The vertical transmission system is installed on one side of the gantry. The power system is connected to the vertical transmission system and the horizontal transmission system. The chopping head is raised and lowered by the vertical transmission system, translated by the horizontal transmission system, and rotated by the chopping transmission system.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, the vertical transmission system includes a vertical transmission gear, a helical rod, and a slider. The power system is connected to the vertical transmission gear. The upper and lower ends of the helical rod are rotatably mounted between the top of the gantry and the base, respectively. The vertical transmission gear is coaxially arranged with the helical rod and fixed on the helical rod. The slider has a through hole with a threaded hole that matches the thread of the helical rod. The slider is fitted onto the helical rod through the through hole. The chopping head base passes through a support rod. A slide rail is provided inside one side of the gantry. A pulley is installed on the slider and is slidably connected to the slide rail. The slider is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod, and the other end of the support rod is connected to the horizontal transmission system.

The shaft of the first motor is connected to the center of the vertical drive gear, the vertical drive gear meshes with the vertical transmission gear, and the two drive components are respectively connected to the horizontal transmission system and the chopping transmission system.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, the horizontal transmission system includes a transmission bevel gear, a connector, and a lead screw. The power system is connected to the transmission bevel gear through one of the drive components, and to the chopping transmission system through the other drive component. The transmission bevel gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw. The lead screw is parallel to the support rod. The connector is sleeved on the lead screw, and the through hole of the connector is provided with a thread that matches the lead screw.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the chopping transmission system includes an eccentric bevel gear, a pressure rod, and a connecting rod. The eccentric bevel gear is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure rod. The drive component connected to the chopping transmission system is driven by the eccentric bevel gear. The other end of the pressure rod is connected to the connecting rod hinged to the slider. The pressure rod abuts against the recess at the rear of the chopping head base. The rotation of the eccentric bevel gear drives the pressure rod to press against the chopping head, thereby squeezing and rotating the chopping head.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the drive assembly includes a second motor, a drive wheel, a transmission belt, a driven wheel, a vertical shaft, and a drive bevel gear. The shaft of the second motor is connected to the center of the drive wheel. The drive wheel is connected to the driven wheel via the transmission belt.

[0033] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, a stone-cutting construction equipment includes a frame 1, a power system 2, a vertical transmission system 3, a horizontal transmission system 4, a chopping transmission system 5, and a chopping head 6. The frame 1 includes a base 11 and a gantry 12. The gantry 12 is fixed to one side of the upper surface of the base 11. The power system 2 is installed on the base 11, and the vertical transmission system 3 is installed on one side of the gantry 12. The power system 2 is connected to the vertical transmission system 3 and the horizontal transmission system 4. The chopping head 6 is raised and lowered by the vertical transmission system 3, translated by the horizontal transmission system 4, and rotated by the chopping transmission system 5.

[0035] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, the vertical transmission system 3 includes a vertical transmission gear 31, a helical rod, and a slider. The power system 2 is connected to the vertical transmission gear 31. The upper and lower ends of the helical rod are rotatably mounted between the top of the gantry 12 and the base 11, respectively. The vertical transmission gear 31 is coaxially arranged with the helical rod and fixed on the helical rod. The slider has a through hole and a threaded hole that matches the thread of the helical rod. The slider is sleeved on the helical rod through the through hole. The chopping head base 61 passes through a support rod 7. A slide rail is provided inside one side of the gantry 12. A pulley is installed on the slider and is slidably connected to the slide rail. The slider is fixedly connected to one end of the support rod 7, and the other end of the support rod 7 is connected to the horizontal transmission system 4.

[0036] The power system 2 includes a first motor, a vertical drive gear 21, and two drive components. The shaft of the first motor is connected to the center of the vertical drive gear 21, and the vertical drive gear 21 meshes with the vertical transmission gear 31. The equipment also includes a control system for controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the first motor and the second motor in the drive components. The first motor drives the vertical drive gear 21 to rotate, which in turn drives the vertical transmission gear 31, causing the helical rod to rotate. The slider moves up and down along the helical rod under the constraints of pulleys and rails, and the chopping head 6 rises and falls via the support rod 7.

[0037] like Figure 5As shown, the horizontal transmission system 4 includes a transmission bevel gear, a connecting member 42, and a lead screw 43. The power system 2 is connected to the transmission bevel gear via one drive component and to the chopping transmission system 5 via the other drive component. The transmission bevel gear is coaxially and fixedly connected to one end of the lead screw 43. The lead screw 43 is parallel to the support rod 7. The connecting member 42 is sleeved on the lead screw 43, and the through hole of the connecting member 42 has a thread that matches the lead screw 43. The chopping head base 61 has an arc-shaped hole that passes through the lead screw 43. The two sides of the connecting member 42 clamp the chopping head base 61 in the middle. The support rod 7 can also limit the connection member 42. A slip ring that matches the support rod 7 is sleeved on the support rod 7, and the slip ring is fixedly connected to the connecting member 42. The power system 2 drives the transmission bevel gear to rotate, which in turn drives the lead screw 43 to rotate, causing the connecting member 42 to move the chopping head base 6111 horizontally.

[0038] like Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, the chopping transmission system 5 includes an eccentric bevel gear 51, a pressure rod 52, and a connecting rod. The eccentric bevel gear 51 is fixedly connected to one end of the pressure rod 52. The drive component connected to the chopping transmission system 5 is connected to the eccentric bevel gear 51 in a transmission connection. The other end of the pressure rod 52 is connected to the connecting rod hinged to the slider. The pressure rod 52 abuts against the rear recess of the chopping head base 61. The rotation of the eccentric bevel gear 51 drives the pressure rod 52 to press against the chopping head 6, thereby achieving the squeezing and rotation of the chopping head 6.

[0039] like Figure 7 As shown, the drive assembly includes a second motor, a drive wheel, a transmission belt, a driven wheel, a vertical shaft 22, and a drive bevel gear 23. The shaft of the second motor is connected to the center of the drive wheel. The drive wheel is connected to the driven wheel via the transmission belt. The driven wheel is coaxially and fixedly connected to the vertical shaft 22. The drive bevel gear 23 is sleeved on the vertical shaft 22. The drive bevel gears 23 of the two drive assemblies are respectively engaged with the eccentric bevel gear 51 and the transmission bevel gear. The second motor drives the drive wheel to rotate, which in turn drives the driven wheel to rotate via the transmission belt, causing the vertical shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive bevel gear 23 to rotate. The drive bevel gear 23 is maintained in engagement with the eccentric bevel gear 51 and the transmission bevel gear through bearings and other parts, and moves up and down with the support rod 7.

[0040] The vertical shaft 22 is a keyed rod, and the drive bevel gear 23 has an opening that matches the keyed rod. Through the key and the opening, the drive bevel gear 23 can both move up and down on the vertical shaft 22, and also rotate with the vertical shaft 22.

[0041] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the chopping head 6 includes a chopping head base 61, a horizontal turntable 62, a vertical turntable 63, a locking connector 64, a horizontal rod 65, a rear adjustable spring 66, and a blade. The locking connector 64 is rotatably connected to the chopping head base 61 via the horizontal turntable 62. One end of the horizontal rod 65 is rotatably connected to the blade via the vertical turntable 63, and the other end of the horizontal rod 65 passes through the locking connector 64. The rear adjustable spring 66 is disposed within the locking connector 64, with both ends fixed within the horizontal rod 65 and the locking connector 64, respectively. When the blade strikes the wall, it experiences pressure, which is counteracted by the elastic force of the rear adjustable spring 66.

[0042] Multiple casters are installed under the base 11, and six positioning supports 13 are installed on the side of the gantry 12 away from the base 11.

[0043] A method for using a tool for cutting artificial stones includes the following steps:

[0044] Step 1: Move the artificial stone cutting equipment close to the wall to be cut using the casters and lock it in place. Then, fine-tune the fit between the equipment and the wall using the six positioning supports 13 on the side of the gantry 12.

[0045] Step 2: Based on the layout and texture of the artificial stone facade, adjust the facade orientation and chopping angle of the chopping axe using the horizontal turntable 62 and the vertical turntable 63 to realistically simulate the direction of holding the axe for chopping. Based on the test chopping results, adjust the extension and retraction of the rear spring 66 to control the force of each chopping by the chopping axe.

[0046] Step 3: Activate the power system 2 and control the vertical transmission system 3 and the horizontal transmission system 4 to start transmission in order to adjust the vertical position of the chopping head 6.

[0047] The power system 2 is driven by an electric motor, and the control system realizes the forward and reverse rotation of the vertical transmission system 3 screw rod and the vertical shaft 22 in one of the drive components through the lever, thereby realizing omnidirectional movement up and down and left and right.

[0048] Step four: Drive another vertical shaft 22 to rotate through the control system, which in turn drives the drive bevel gear 23 and transmission bevel gear on the same drive assembly to rotate, so that the pressure rod 52 alternately squeezes and rotates the chopping head 6 to achieve chopping construction on the wall surface.

[0049] Step 5: Once construction at one location is completed, move the equipment to the next location and repeat steps 1 to 4 for the next stage of construction.

[0050] This embodiment is merely a further explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make non-creative modifications to this embodiment as needed after reading this specification, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by patent law.
