Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cutting technology, and in particular to a multifunctional cutting device and its method of use. Background Technology

[0002] In welding skills training and research activities, welding materials are frequently processed to ensure that welding specimens are machined to meet specific dimensions and bevel angles required by technical specifications. The recycling of welding specimens is also a routine task. For example, welding technology training generates a large number of specimens, which often need to undergo multiple cuts to reduce costs. However, during cutting operations, the specimens are generally fixed using clamps, which have limited effectiveness. Under the influence of cutting forces and other factors, the cutting accuracy often fails to meet standard requirements. Furthermore, when cutting specimens of various sizes or the same specimen multiple times, repeated adjustments to the specimen and clamps are necessary, making the operation quite complex.

[0003] In view of this, it is necessary to design a multifunctional cutting device and its usage method to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a multifunctional cutting device and method that can ensure the cutting accuracy of the specimen, quickly complete the cutting of the specimen, and meet the needs of cutting specimens of different sizes or the same specimen multiple times.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention provides a multifunctional cutting device, comprising:

[0006] A cutting platform, on which a cutting machine is mounted;

[0007] A processing groove is provided on the cutting platform. The opening end of the processing groove faces the side of the cutting platform, and the bottom surface of the processing groove is inclined, so that when the specimen is placed in the processing groove, the end of the bottom surface of the processing groove away from the cutting platform serves as a fulcrum, and the top surface of the processing groove serves as a limiting part; and the width of the top surface of the processing groove is smaller than the width of the bottom surface of the processing groove.

[0008] The fixed adjustment component extends into the processing groove through the top surface of the processing groove, so that during the cutting process, a lever balance structure is formed between the top surface of the processing groove, the test piece, the fulcrum and the cutting machine, or between the fixed adjustment component, the test piece, the fulcrum and the cutting machine; and the fixed adjustment component can move up and down relative to the cutting platform, so that in the vertical direction, a limiting area of ​​different sizes is formed between the fixed adjustment component and the fulcrum.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the side of the processing groove away from the opening is a vertical surface.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the bottom surface of the processing groove is inclined upward along the direction away from the cutting platform.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the top surface of the processing groove is horizontal.

[0012] As a further improvement of the present invention, the cutting machine is mounted on the cutting platform via a linear sliding structure.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the fixing adjustment member is connected to the cutting platform by a thread, so that the fixing adjustment member can move up and down relative to the cutting platform under the action of external force; and the fixing adjustment member is provided at intervals along the extension direction of the processing groove.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, it also includes a waste recycling vehicle, which is located below the processing tank and includes a vehicle body, a dust suppression water tank disposed on the vehicle body, and a waste recycling bin disposed on one side of the dust suppression water tank.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the dust suppression water tank includes a horizontal part and an inclined part arranged sequentially along the direction away from the waste recycling tank, and a filter screen is provided on the upper part of both the horizontal part and the inclined part; a blocking member is also provided between the horizontal part and the waste recycling tank.

[0016] As a further improvement of the present invention, the processing groove is provided at one end of the cutting platform, and a special processing platform is also provided at the end of the cutting platform away from the processing groove.

[0017] The present invention also provides a method of using a multifunctional cutting device, comprising the following steps:

[0018] S1. Adjust the position of the fixed adjustment component according to the thickness of the specimen so that when the specimen is placed in the processing groove in a horizontal state, the top surface of the specimen abuts against the top surface of the processing groove or the fixed adjustment component.

[0019] S2. Insert the specimen into the machining groove along the bottom surface of the groove, remove the force, and the specimen will be in a horizontal state under its own weight; adjust the horizontal position of the specimen so that one end of the specimen abuts against the side of the machining groove.

[0020] S3. Control the cutting machine to move on the cutting platform to cut the specimen according to the cutting needs. During the entire cutting process, a lever balance structure is formed between the top surface of the processing groove, the specimen, the fulcrum and the cutting machine, or between the fixed adjustment parts, the specimen, the fulcrum and the cutting machine.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0022] 1. The present invention sets up a processing groove so that when the specimen is placed in the processing groove, the bottom surface of the processing groove away from the cutting platform is used as the fulcrum, and the top surface of the processing groove is used as the support surface or the fixed adjustment component is used as the support point. This ensures that when cutting, the action point of the cutting machine and the support surface or the support point of the fixed adjustment component are located on both sides of the fulcrum. By using the lever principle, the specimen can remain stable throughout the entire cutting process.

[0023] 2. This invention utilizes the lever principle for specimen fixation, enabling multiple cuts at different locations on the same specimen as needed. Simultaneously, by adjusting the height of the support point using a fixing adjustment component, different sized limiting areas are formed between the fixing adjustment component and the processing groove opening along the vertical direction, meeting the cutting requirements of specimens of varying thicknesses. Furthermore, when cutting specimens of the same specification, the inclined bottom surface of the processing groove and the narrower width of the top surface compared to the bottom surface create a larger space at the groove opening, facilitating specimen passage. This allows the specimen to be quickly placed into the groove along its bottom surface. Utilizing the lever principle, the specimen remains horizontally stable under the action of the fixing adjustment component or the top surface of the processing groove, eliminating the need for repeated adjustments to the fixing adjustment component to replace the specimen, thus ensuring the cutting accuracy of specimens of the same specification.

[0024] 3. The processing groove and fixing adjustment component of the present invention eliminate the need to adjust the straightness of the specimen multiple times during processing, effectively solving the problems of difficult positioning, low cutting accuracy and slow cutting speed in specimen processing. At the same time, it can also meet the needs of multiple cutting of specimens of different sizes or the same specimen.

[0025] 4. This invention enables rapid positioning of the specimen by having its end fit against the side of the processing groove. Combined with a lever fixing method, this allows for rapid cutting of the specimen, saving the complex process and time required for adjusting straightness in conventional cutting. Thus, it can ensure cutting accuracy while rapidly completing the cutting of the specimen. Attached Figure Description

[0034] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this invention clearer, the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] It should also be noted that, in order to avoid obscuring the present invention with unnecessary details, only the structures and / or processing steps closely related to the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, while other details that are not closely related to the present invention are omitted.

[0036] Additionally, it should be noted that the terms “comprising,” “including,” or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figures 3-5 As shown, the present invention provides a multifunctional cutting device, comprising:

[0038] A cutting platform 10, on which a cutting machine 40 is mounted;

[0039] A processing groove 20 is provided on the cutting platform 10. The opening end of the processing groove 20 faces the side of the cutting platform 10. The bottom surface of the processing groove 20 is inclined, so that when the specimen 70 is placed in the processing groove 20, the end of the bottom surface of the processing groove 20 away from the cutting platform 10 serves as a fulcrum, and the top surface of the processing groove 20 serves as a limiting part; and the width of the top surface of the processing groove 20 is smaller than the width of the bottom surface of the processing groove 20.

[0040] The fixed adjustment component 30 extends into the processing groove 20 through the top surface of the processing groove 20, so that during the cutting process, a lever balance structure is formed between the top surface of the processing groove 20, the specimen 70, the fulcrum and the cutting machine 40, or between the fixed adjustment component 30, the specimen 70, the fulcrum and the cutting machine 40; and the fixed adjustment component 30 can move up and down relative to the cutting platform 10, so that in the vertical direction, the fixed adjustment component 30 and the fulcrum form a limiting area of ​​different sizes.

[0041] For example, the processing groove 20 is arranged parallel to the side of the cutting platform 10. Along the direction perpendicular to the extension of the processing groove 20, the width of the top surface of the processing groove 20 is smaller than the width of the bottom surface. This allows the specimen 70, when placed in the processing groove 20, to form a lever balance structure with the end of the bottom surface of the processing groove 20 away from the cutting platform 10 as a fulcrum. This facilitates the cutting of the specimen 70 on the side of the fulcrum away from the cutting machine 40 using the cutting machine 40. Simultaneously, because the width of the top surface of the processing groove 20 is smaller than the width of the bottom surface, a larger space is formed at the opening of the processing groove 20, making it easier to insert the specimen 70 obliquely into the processing groove 20 along the bottom surface. Figure 2 ), remove the force, and when specimen 70 is in a horizontal equilibrium state under its own weight ( Figure 3 , Figure 4 The installation method of this invention, which involves placing the specimen 70 horizontally into a groove of the same size, results in less wear on the specimen 70 compared to existing methods that insert the specimen 70 laterally. The method is also more convenient and faster. Specifically, the width of the top surface of the processing groove 20 being smaller than the width of its bottom surface allows for rapid installation of the specimen 70 while providing a fulcrum to form a lever balance structure. Furthermore, after adjusting the size of the limiting area using the fixing adjustment member 30, when cutting specimens 70 of the same specification, it is not necessary to repeatedly adjust the height of the fixing adjustment member 30 to install the specimen 70. This effectively improves cutting efficiency while maintaining the cutting accuracy of specimens 70 of the same specification.

[0042] The relevant dimensions of the processing groove 20 can be set according to the actual situation, so that in the initial state, after the specimen 70 is placed in the processing groove 20, one end of the top surface of the specimen 70 abuts against the top surface of the processing groove 20 or the fixed adjustment component 30, the bottom surface is located on the fulcrum, and one side of the specimen 70 is attached to the side of the processing groove 20. Under its own weight, it can maintain a horizontal state. During the cutting process, the specimen 70, the processing groove 20, the cutting action point of the cutting machine 40, or the specimen 70, the processing groove 20, the fixed adjustment component 30 and the cutting action point of the cutting machine 40 form a lever balance structure, so that the specimen 70 always remains in a horizontal and fixed state.

[0043] Specifically, the side of the processing groove 20 away from the opening is a vertical surface, which can serve as a standard part. By placing the end of the specimen 70 against the vertical surface of the processing groove 20, the orientation of the specimen 70 can be quickly positioned. Then, combined with the lever fixing method, the cutting of the specimen 70 can be completed quickly, saving the complicated process and time required for adjusting the straightness in conventional cutting. Thus, the cutting accuracy can be guaranteed while the cutting of the specimen 70 can be completed quickly.

[0044] Specifically, the bottom surface of the processing groove 20 is inclined upward along the side of the cutting platform 10; the top surface of the processing groove 20 is horizontal.

[0045] Specifically, a plurality of fixing adjustment members 30 are provided at intervals along the extension direction of the processing groove 20. The fixing adjustment members 30 are connected to the cutting platform 10 by threads, so that the fixing adjustment members 30 can move up and down relative to the cutting platform 10 under the action of external force. For example, the fixing adjustment members 30 are screws. A plurality of mounting holes are provided at intervals along the extension direction of the processing groove 20 on the top surface of the processing groove 20. The mounting holes are provided with internal threads that match the screws. By rotating the screws to adjust the position of the screws relative to the top surface of the processing groove 20, a limiting area of ​​different sizes can be formed between the bottom surface of the screws and the fulcrum in the vertical direction to adapt to the cutting requirements of specimens 70 of different thicknesses.

[0046] Specifically, a leveling support column 12 is also provided at the bottom of the cutting platform 10 to support the cutting platform 10 and adjust its height and levelness. The specific structure of the leveling support column 12 can adopt any existing structure that can achieve object leveling and height adjustment, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Specifically, a processing groove 20 is located at one end of the cutting platform 10, and a special processing platform is also located at the end of the cutting platform 10 away from the processing groove 20. The special processing platform includes a work platform 50 connected to the end of the cutting platform 10 away from the processing groove 20 via a horizontal telescopic structure 51. A leveling support 52 is located at the bottom of the work platform 50. The leveling support 52 includes a vertical adjustment section 521 and a traveling wheel 522 located at the bottom of the vertical adjustment section 521. The vertical adjustment section 521 includes a fixed section 5211 connected to the traveling wheel 522 and a movable section 5212 that can move up and down relative to the fixed section 5211. By adjusting the height of the movable section 5212 relative to the fixed section 5211, the height and levelness of the work platform 50 can be adjusted. Figure 6The special processing platform is mainly used for cutting ultra-thick and irregular specimens. By adjusting the horizontal position of the working platform 50 through the movement of the horizontal telescopic structure 51 and the traveling wheels 522, ultra-thick or irregular specimens can be clamped and fixed on the working platform 50 and the end of the cutting platform 10 away from the processing groove 20, so as to carry out the cutting operation of ultra-thick or irregular specimens 70. This makes the multi-functional cutting device usable for both conventional specimen cutting and ultra-thick or irregular specimen cutting.

[0048] The horizontal telescopic structure 51 can be any existing structure that can achieve horizontal adjustment of two objects, and will not be described in detail here.

[0049] Specifically, the cutting platform 10 is made of cast iron, which can reduce the problem of excessively high operating temperature caused by long-term use of flame or plasma cutting machine 40 and deformation of the cutting platform 10 caused by long-term operation in high-temperature environment.

[0050] Specifically, the cutting machine 40 is mounted on the cutting platform 10 via a linear sliding structure. For example, the linear sliding structure includes a track 11 parallel to the extending direction of the processing groove 20 and a slider at the bottom of the cutting machine 40 that can slide along the track 11. The track 11 is a groove parallel to the extending direction of the processing groove 20 on the surface of the cutting platform 10, and the groove is integrally formed with the cutting platform 10. By integrally mounting the track 11 inside the cutting platform 10, which is made of cast iron, it avoids deformation of the track 11 due to collisions during operation, preventing cutting misalignment, and also avoids deformation of the track 11 under long-term high-temperature conditions, which could lead to insufficient cutting accuracy.

[0051] Specifically, the multi-functional cutting device also includes a waste recycling vehicle located below the processing tank 20, which includes a vehicle body 61, a dust suppression water tank 62 mounted on the vehicle body 61, and a waste recycling bin 63 mounted on one side of the dust suppression water tank 62.

[0052] For example, the dust collection tank 62 includes a horizontal portion 622 and an inclined portion 621 arranged sequentially along the direction away from the waste collection tank 63, and both the horizontal portion 622 and the inclined portion 621 are provided with filter screens 623; a blocking member is also provided on the surface where the horizontal portion 622 and the waste collection tank 63 are connected. The blocking member is a stop block 64 with one end connected to the top of the side of the waste collection tank 63 by a rotating joint. In the initial state, under the action of gravity, the stop block 64 is in a horizontal state, preventing the material on the filter screen 623 of the horizontal portion 622 from entering the waste collection tank 63. When the stop block 64 is lifted upward at the end away from the rotating joint under the action of external force (lifted state), the material that has moved from the inclined portion 621 to the surface of the filter screen 623 of the horizontal portion 622 can fall into the waste collection tank 63 for waste recycling.

[0053] By installing a dust suppression water tank 62 on the waste recycling vehicle and placing the waste recycling vehicle below the cutting operation area, the dust suppression water tank 62 can reduce smoke, dust and lower the temperature of the operation area.

[0054] When cutting specimen 70 at the processing tank 20, the waste collection cart is placed below the processing tank 20. When the waste needs to be reused, the stop block 64 is in a horizontal state. The metal slag and dust generated during cutting will fall into the dust collection water tank 62 through the filter screen 623, while the metal waste will fall onto the filter screen 623 and slide down the inclined surface of the inclined part 621 to the horizontal surface of the horizontal part 622, thus separating the slag and waste, so as to facilitate the picking up and recycling of specimen 70 that needs to be cut a second time. When there is no need to pick up and recycle waste, the stop 64 is raised. The metal slag and dust generated during cutting will fall into the dust collection tank 62 through the filter screen 623. The metal waste will fall onto the filter screen 623 and slide down the inclined surface of the inclined part 621 to the horizontal surface of the horizontal part 622 and fall into the waste recycling box 63 connected to the horizontal part 622, thus separating the slag and waste and collecting the waste. When the waste recycling box 63 is full, the waste recycling vehicle is moved to a designated location for centralized processing of the waste.

[0055] In addition, when cutting operations are performed on a special processing platform, a waste collection vehicle is placed below the processing tank 20 to handle waste residue and waste materials, as well as to reduce the temperature of the work area.

[0056] The present invention also provides a method of using a multifunctional cutting device, comprising the following steps:

[0057] S1. Before operation, adjust the height and level of the cutting platform 10; move the waste recycling cart below the processing tank 20;

[0058] S2. Adjust the position of the fixed adjustment component 30 according to the thickness of the specimen 70 so that when the specimen 70 is placed in the processing groove 20 in a horizontal state, the top surface of the specimen 70 abuts against the top surface of the processing groove 20 or the fixed adjustment component 30.

[0059] S3. Insert the specimen 70 into the machining groove 20 along the bottom surface of the machining groove 20, remove the force, and the specimen 70 will be in a horizontal state under its own weight; then adjust the horizontal position of the specimen 70 so that one end of the specimen 70 abuts against the side wall of the machining groove 20.

[0060] S4. According to the cutting needs, control the cutting machine 40 to move along the track 11 of the cutting platform 10 to cut the specimen 70. During the entire cutting process, a lever balance structure is formed between the top surface of the processing groove 20, the specimen 70, the opening of the processing groove 20 and the cutting machine 40, or between the fixed adjustment component 30, the specimen 70, the opening of the processing groove 20 and the cutting machine 40.

[0061] Specifically, during the cutting process, when the cutting machine 40 cuts different positions of the same specimen 70, different torques are generated on the right side of the fulcrum. At this time, the top surface of the processing groove 20 or the fixed adjustment component 30 provides different support forces to the specimen 70, so that the specimen 70 always maintains a relatively stable state throughout the entire cutting process.

[0062] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
