DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Embodiment 1:

[0031] like Figure 1-Figure 5 and Figure 8 As shown, a laser cutting device for metal parts processing includes a processing table 1 and a laser cutter 2. A protective cover 3 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the laser cutter 2. A liquid storage tank 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective cover 3. A liquid outlet pipe 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 4. A liquid coating hopper 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid outlet pipe 401. A roller 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer side of the protective cover 3. The outer wall of the roller 6 is an oil-absorbing sponge or oil-absorbing cloth, so that the liquid coating hopper 402 can apply heat dissipation oil to the outer wall of the roller 6, and then the roller 6 rotates to apply the heat dissipation oil to the outer wall of the metal part. The bottom of the bucket 402 is in contact with the top of the roller 6, the inner wall of the protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 101, and the fixed frame 101 is slidably connected to a control rod 7, and the control rod 7 cooperates with the liquid outlet pipe 401 through a control component 8. There are four groups of liquid storage tanks 4, rollers 6, control rods 7 and control components 8, and they are respectively located on the four side walls of the protective cover 3. By arranging rollers 6 on all four sides of the protective cover 3 to apply heat dissipation oil, no matter in which direction the laser cutter 2 moves, the rollers 6 can be applied with heat dissipation oil, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of oil application and heat dissipation.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the control assembly 8 in the above-mentioned includes a slide bar 801, and two groups of slide bars 801 are respectively fixedly connected with a stopper 811 and a pull rope 812, the stopper 811 slides on the liquid outlet pipe 401, and the other end of the pull rope 812 is fixedly connected to the top of the control rod 7, and the protective cover 3 is rotatably connected with a rotating rod 813, and the pull rope 812 slides on the outer wall of the rotating rod 813. The outer wall of the slide bar 801 is sleeved with a return spring 814, and the two ends of the return spring 814 are respectively against the outer wall of the protective cover 3 and the stopper 811. When the bottom of the control rod 7 moves to the cutting slot position on the metal part, the control rod 7 will move downward, and the control rod 7 moves downward. The movement will pull the pull rope 812 downward, and the pull rope 812 pulls the slide bar 801 to move through the rotating rod 813. The slide bar 801 drives the stopper 811 to move out from the inner wall of the liquid outlet pipe 401, so that the upper and lower ends of the liquid outlet pipe 401 are connected, thereby providing heat dissipation oil. When the control rod 7 is moved away from the cutting slot position on the metal part, the control rod 7 moves upward and no longer pulls the slide bar 801 through the pull rope 812. At this time, the stopper 811 is pushed into the liquid outlet pipe 401 by the tension of the reset spring 814 to block the oil supply, thereby avoiding unnecessary loss of heat dissipation oil and improving the accuracy of the heat dissipation oil use position.

[0033] like Figure 4 and Figure 8 As shown, a conical block 701 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the control rod 7. Through the setting of the conical block 701, when the laser cutter 2 cuts a larger slot, the conical surface of the conical block 701 can stably move out of the slot, avoiding the outer wall of the control rod 7 from abutting against the slot and being unable to move, thereby improving the stability of movement. The end point setting of the conical block 701 can identify the shallower slot cut, and then drive the control rod 7 to move downward, and then control the conduction size of the liquid outlet pipe 401 to supply different amounts of heat dissipation oil, thereby improving the stability of the heat dissipation oil supply and avoiding waste. A ball 711 is set at the bottom of the conical block 701, and the ball 711 is set to roll on the surface of the metal part to avoid the conical block. The end of 701 scratches the metal part, and the diameter of the ball 711 is less than 0.3mm, which is convenient for identifying the small slots cut by the laser cutter 2. At the same time, a reset spring 3 702 is sleeved on the outer wall of the control rod 7, and the two ends of the reset spring 3 702 are respectively against the fixed frame 101 and the conical block 701. The tension of the reset spring 3 702 pushes the control rod 7 to move downward when encountering the slot, thereby improving the stability of the control rod 7 driving the control component 8 to work, and the outer wall of the above-mentioned control rod 7 is fixedly connected to the limit block 703, and the limit block 703 is located on the upper side of the fixed frame 101. The limit block 703 is used to limit the downward movement of the control rod 7 to avoid the control rod 7 from moving a long distance downward and being unable to reset, thereby improving the stability of use.

[0034] like Figure 3As shown, the side wall of the protective cover 3 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 5, and the side wall of the fixing frame 5 is provided with a groove 501, and a slider 503 is slidably connected inside the groove 501. The side wall of the slider 503 is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 601, and the roller 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the rotating shaft 601. A tensioning spring 502 is arranged inside the groove 501, and the tensioning spring 502 abuts against the slider 503. The slider 503 is pushed downward by the tension of the tensioning spring 502. The slider 503 can drive the roller 6 on the rotating shaft 601 to maintain the force against the surface of the metal part, thereby avoiding the formation of a gap between the roller 6 and the metal part and improving the stability of the oiling.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the laser cutter 2 is provided with an air suction pump 9, and the air suction pump 9 is connected with the protective cover 3 through the air suction pipe 901. By starting the air suction pump 9, the air suction pump 9 sucks air into the protective cover 3, and absorbs the smoke generated by the laser cutter 2 when cutting inside the protective cover 3, so as to prevent the smoke from overflowing and being absorbed by the human body, thereby improving the safety of processing. The protective cover 3 is set at a close distance to the laser cutter 2, which can prevent the smoke from spreading to a larger range before being processed, thereby improving the convenience of processing. At the same time, a processing box 902 is set on the top of the laser cutter 2, and the air outlet end of the air suction pump 9 is connected with the processing box 902, and the smoke sucked by the air suction pump 9 is sent to the processing box 902 for processing.

[0036] Embodiment 2:

[0037] like Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, a laser cutting device for metal parts processing includes a processing table 1 and a laser cutter 2, a protective cover 3 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the laser cutter 2, a liquid storage tank 4 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the protective cover 3, a liquid outlet pipe 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid storage tank 4, a coating liquid hopper 402 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the liquid outlet pipe 401, a roller 6 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the outer side of the protective cover 3, the bottom of the coating liquid hopper 402 is in contact with the top of the roller 6, a fixed frame 101 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 3, a control rod 7 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 101, and the control rod 7 cooperates with the liquid outlet pipe 401 through a control component 8, and four groups of liquid storage tank 4, roller 6, control rod 7 and control component 8 are provided, and are respectively located at the positions of the four side walls of the protective cover 3.

[0038] The control assembly 8 includes a sleeve 802, one end of which is connected to the liquid outlet pipe 401 through a connecting pipe 822, a push rod 821 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 802, one end of the push rod 821 extends from the sleeve 802 and passes through the protective cover 3 and is fixedly connected to the trapezoidal block 823, a control block 824 is fixedly connected to the top of the control rod 7, the control block 824 cooperates with the trapezoidal block 823, a return spring 825 is arranged inside the sleeve 802, and a one-way valve is arranged inside the connecting pipe 822 and the sleeve 802; when the control rod 7 moves to the slot position cut by the laser cutter 2, the control rod 7 moves downward, driving the control block 824 to move downward, and the control block 824 and the trapezoidal block 8 23 are offset from each other, pushing the trapezoidal block 823 to move, and the trapezoidal block 823 drives the push rod 821 to slide inside the sliding sleeve 802, pushing the air inside the sliding sleeve 802 to the liquid outlet pipe 401 through the connecting pipe 822, and the air enters the liquid outlet pipe 401. Then, because the heat dissipation oil pressure inside the upper liquid storage tank 4 is greater than the pressure inside the coating hopper 402, the air pressure will enter the coating hopper 402, and then exert pressure on the heat dissipation oil inside the coating hopper 402, thereby increasing the amount of heat dissipation oil inside the coating hopper 402 flowing out to the roller 6, so that the roller 6 rolls to the cutting part of the metal part, which can apply more heat dissipation oil to the cutting part, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency at the cutting part.

[0039] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: when the user uses it, the laser cutter 2 is driven downward by the movable lifting structure on the processing table 1, so that the roller 6 on the outside of the protective cover 3 is in contact with the upper surface of the metal part, and then the laser cutter 2 is started to cut the metal part. At the same time, the laser cutter 2 is moved horizontally and vertically by the movable lifting structure while cutting to cut different shapes or grooves. When the laser cutter 2 moves, the protective cover 3 is driven to move, and the control rod 7 inside the outer roller 6 is driven by the protective cover 3 to move in contact with the metal part, and the control rod 7 is moved to the metal part to cut. After the shape or groove is positioned, the control rod 7 moves downward, and then the control component 8 controls the connection between the liquid storage tank 4 and the coating hopper 402 at the upper and lower ends of the liquid outlet pipe 401. At this time, the heat dissipation oil inside the liquid storage tank 4 enters the coating hopper 402 through the liquid outlet pipe 401, and then falls onto the outer wall on the upper side of the roller 6. At the same time, the roller 6 rotates to apply the heat dissipation oil on the outer wall to the upper surface of the metal part, and the heat dissipation oil is applied to the cutting part of the metal part. The heat dissipation oil absorbs the high temperature generated at the cutting part by the heat dissipation oil, which accelerates the rapid dissipation of the temperature at the cutting part of the metal part, thereby reducing thermal deformation and improving the stability of laser cutting of metal parts.

[0040] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the present invention. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of the present invention should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the present invention.
