Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of sheet cutting, and specifically to a high-precision cutting device for ultra-thin metal sheets. Background Art

[0002] During the cutting process of thin sheets, the gravitational force of the sheet itself often causes the surface to be uneven, which directly affects the cutting accuracy. Especially when dealing with ultra-thin metal sheets, the sheet is light in weight and is significantly affected by the gravitational force, and is prone to sagging or bending. Such an uneven surface will cause the laser cutting head or other cutting tools to be unable to work precisely along the predetermined path, resulting in cutting errors and even cutting failures. In addition, the uneven surface will increase the difficulty of subsequent processing, and further leveling treatment may be required, wasting time and resources. Additionally, during the cutting process, due to the high-temperature action between the sheet and the laser cutting head, a large amount of powder and melt will be generated in the cutting area. These powders generated by cutting will affect the cutting accuracy. The accumulation of powder in the cutting area will interfere with the focusing of the laser beam, reduce the cutting quality, and increase the instability of cutting. Summary of the Invention

Two symmetrically arranged long grooves are provided in the radial direction of the rotating plane. Clamping strips are symmetrically arranged at the two long grooves. Each clamping strip is provided with a placement insertion groove. The clamping strips are slidably arranged on the upper surface of the rotating plane along the length direction of the long grooves. An extrusion plate is arranged in the placement insertion groove, and the extrusion plate is used for clamping the sheet inserted into the placement insertion groove. The lower surface of the rotating plane is fixed above the rotating tray in a suspended manner. Above the rotating plane, a top support ring is fixed above the support ring in a suspended manner.

Detailed implementation manner

[0021] The following combines the attached Figures 1-7 drawings, and further illustrates the technical solution of the present invention through specific implementation manners.

[0022] The present invention provides a high-precision cutting device for ultra-thin metal sheets, including a rotating plane 112. Two symmetrically arranged long sliding grooves 121 are provided in the radial direction of the rotating plane 112. Clamping strips 113 are symmetrically arranged at the two long sliding grooves 121. Each clamping strip 113 is provided with a placement insertion groove 117. The clamping strip 113 is slidably arranged on the upper surface of the rotating plane 112 along the length direction of the long sliding groove 121. An extrusion plate 116 is arranged in the placement insertion groove 117, and the extrusion plate 116 is used for clamping the sheet inserted into the placement insertion groove 117. The lower surface of the rotating plane 112 is fixedly mounted on a rotating tray 110 in a suspended manner. Above the rotating plane 112, a top support ring 125 is fixedly mounted in a suspended manner through a support ring frame 111. Two parallel first moving slide bars 126 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the top support ring 125. Second moving slide bar support blocks 127 are slidably sleeved on the two first moving slide bars 126. Two parallel second moving slide bars 128 are fixedly installed between the two second moving slide bar support blocks 127. A laser welding head 130 is slidably arranged on the two second moving slide bars 128. Two parallel downward sliding slide bars 115 are also slidably installed on the clamping strip 113. The two downward sliding slide bars 115 are fixedly matched with the placement insertion groove 117. The ends of the two downward sliding slide bars 115 far from the placement insertion groove 117 are fixedly installed with a downward pressure beam strip 114. Two parallel clamping counterweight support slide bars 118 are fixedly installed on the side surface of the clamping strip 113. A clamping counterweight 119 is slidably arranged on the clamping counterweight support slide bars 118. The clamping counterweight 119 is movably connected to the downward pressure beam strip 114 through a downward pressure connecting rod 120. The height of the lower surface of the downward pressure beam strip 114 is higher than the height of the upper surface of the clamping counterweight 119, and the downward pressure connecting rod 120 is inclined. Two parallel rack brackets 123 are fixedly installed on the lower surface of the rotating plane 112. Two racks 122 symmetrically arranged about the center origin of the rotating plane 112 are slidably matched between the two rack brackets 123. The two racks 122 are fixedly matched with the two clamping strips 113 passing through the long sliding grooves 121. The two racks 122 are meshed and driven through a linkage gear 124.

[0023] A belt drive assembly 129 for driving the laser welding head 130 to slide on the second moving slide bar 128 is rotatably provided on the second moving slide bar support block 127; a tension spring 131 is disposed around each first moving slide bar 126, and both ends of the tension spring 131 are fixedly engaged with the top support ring 125 and the second moving slide bar support block 127. An arc-shaped frame 132 is fixed to one end of the two second moving slide bar support blocks 127 away from the tension spring 131, and a moving counterweight 133 is fixed to the middle of the arc-shaped frame 132. The arc-shaped frame 132 is slidably disposed on the top edge of the top support ring 125, and the arc-shaped frame 132 is also slidably engaged with the two first moving slide bars 126. The rotating tray 110 is rotatably mounted on the base 101, and a toothed ring disc 102 coaxial with the rotating tray 110 is also rotatably mounted on the base 101. The toothed ring disc 102 and the rotating tray 110 are fixedly engaged through a rotating shaft. A driving disc support 106 is fixedly mounted on the base 101, and a gear driving disc 105 is rotatably mounted on the driving disc support 106. At least two planetary gears 103 meshing with the inner side of the toothed ring disc 102 are rotatably mounted on the gear driving disc 105. A central gear 104 is disposed at the revolution center position of all the planetary gears 103, and the central gear 104 meshes with all the planetary gears 103. A cooperation motor 107 is also fixedly mounted on the gear driving disc 105, and the output shaft of the cooperation motor 107 is fixedly engaged with the central gear 104 (the cooperation motor 107 is powered by a slip ring). A driving motor 109 is also fixedly mounted on the base 101, and the output shaft of the driving motor 109 and the gear driving disc 105 are in transmission cooperation through a transmission belt 108.

[0024] The working principle of a high-precision cutting device for ultra-thin metal sheets disclosed by the present invention is as follows: Insert both sides of the sheet into the placement insertion groove 117, and then press down the pressing beam 114 so that the pressing plate 116 fits against the edge of the sheet in the placement insertion groove 117 (there is a magnetic cooperation between the pressing beam 114 and the clamping strip 113. Therefore, in the default state, the pressing plate 116 will magnetically press the sheet in the placement insertion groove 117. At the same time, rubber coatings are provided on the surfaces of the placement insertion groove 117 and the pressing plate 116 to increase the friction). Then control the cooperation motor 107 or the driving motor 109 (when the cooperation motor 107 and the driving motor 109 are not working, the output shaft can be in a stopped rotating state, and can provide a directional torque to the rotor according to the force direction of its own output shaft to maintain static, or a one-way transmission mechanism, such as a worm and worm gear, is provided at the output shafts of the cooperation motor 107 and the driving motor 109, which needs to be used in combination with a gearbox). When the cooperation motor 107 works, the output shaft will drive the central gear 104 to rotate. The central gear 104 drives the ring gear 102 to rotate through the planetary gear 103 (at this time, the gear driving disk 105 is in a static state). The rotation of the ring gear 102 drives the rotating tray 110 to rotate. The rotating tray 110 drives the rotating plane 112 to rotate, and then drives the clamping counterweight 119 on the rotating plane 112 to rotate. When the clamping counterweight 119 rotates, it will move outward under the centrifugal force. At this time, it will drive the pressing beam 114 to move in the direction close to the surface of the rotating plane 112 through the downward pressing connecting rod 120, and provide a downward pressure to the pressing plate 116 through the sliding rod 115, pressing the edge of the sheet tightly in the placement insertion groove 117. At the same time, the clamping strip 113 itself will also move outward under the centrifugal force to straighten the sheet (thin sheets are prone to sag due to gravity, which will cause the surface of the sheet to be uneven), making its surface tense and smoother.

[0025] During cutting, the belt drive assembly 129 can drive the laser welding head 130 to move on the second moving slide bar 128 (starting the laser welding head 130 enables cutting of the sheet metal, and the powder generated during cutting will also rotate and separate from the sheet metal under the centrifugal force; the outer shell of the laser welding head 130 is fixed to one side of the belt drive assembly 129). At the same time, to control the movement of the laser welding head 130 along the direction of the first moving slide bar 126, the rotational speed of the rotating plane 112 needs to be adjusted. The rotating plane 112 rotates synchronously with the top support ring 125, the first moving slide bar 126, the bow-shaped frame 132, and the moving counterweight 133. At this time, only by controlling the rotational speed of the rotating plane 112 can the magnitude of the centrifugal force received by the moving counterweight 133 be controlled. The moving counterweight 133 pulls the second moving slide bar support block 127 through the bow-shaped frame 132, and then pulls the tension spring 131. By balancing the centrifugal force with the tension of the tension spring 131, the position of the second moving slide bar support block 127 (laser welding head 130) on the first moving slide bar 126 is adjusted.

[0026] The rotational speeds of the rotating plane 112 and the rotating tray 110 can be steplessly adjusted by controlling the rotational speed of the output shaft of the cooperation motor 107 or the rotational speed of the output shaft of the drive motor 109 or simultaneously controlling the rotational speeds of the output shafts of the cooperation motor 107 and the drive motor 109. For example, when the cooperation motor 107 is in the off state and the drive motor 109 is controlled, the output shaft of the drive motor 109 can directly drive the gear driving disk 105 to rotate through the transmission belt 108. Since the central gear 104 cannot rotate relative to the gear driving disk 105, the toothed ring disk 102, the planetary gear 103, the central gear 104, and the gear driving disk 105 form a whole. At this time, the rotating tray 110 can be directly driven to rotate, and the transmission ratio between the rotating speed of the rotating tray 110 and the output shaft of the drive motor 109 is a fixed value; if the cooperation motor 107 and the drive motor 109 work simultaneously, the cooperation motor 107 can drive the central gear 104 to rotate. The specific rotational speed is limited by the cooperation motor 107. Therefore, the planetary gear 103 will rotate and revolve under limitation. At the same time, the power transmitted from the gear driving disk 105 to the toothed ring disk 102 is also adjusted by the planetary gear 103 (the drive motor 109 is the power source, and the cooperation motor 107 plays an adjustment role; vice versa).
