Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of plate cutting, in particular to high-precision cutting equipment for ultra-thin metal plates. Background Art

[0002] During the cutting of thin sheet metal, the force of gravity on the sheet itself often results in an uneven surface, which directly affects cutting accuracy. This is especially true when processing ultra-thin metal sheets, which are lightweight and significantly affected by gravity, making them prone to falling or bending. This uneven surface prevents the laser cutting head or other cutting tools from accurately following the intended path, resulting in cutting errors and even cutting failure. Furthermore, an uneven surface increases the difficulty of subsequent processing, potentially requiring further leveling, which wastes time and resources. Furthermore, during the cutting process, the high temperature between the sheet and the laser cutting head produces a large amount of powder and melt in the cutting area. This powder can affect cutting accuracy. The accumulation of powder in the cutting area can interfere with the focus of the laser beam, reducing cutting quality and increasing cutting instability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0021] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 , and further illustrate the technical solution of the present invention through specific implementation methods.

[0022] The present invention provides a high-precision cutting device for ultra-thin metal sheets, comprising a rotating plane 112, two symmetrically arranged elongated chutes 121 being defined in the radial direction of the rotating plane 112, clamping bars 113 being symmetrically disposed at the two elongated chutes 121, each of the clamping bars 113 being defined with a placement insertion slot 117, the clamping bars 113 being slidably disposed on the upper surface of the rotating plane 112 along the length direction of the elongated chutes 121, the placement insertion slot 117 being provided with an extrusion plate 116, the extrusion plate 116 being used to clamp a sheet inserted into the placement insertion slot 117; The lower surface of the rotating plane 112 is fixed overhead on the rotating tray 110. A top support ring 125 is fixed overhead above the rotating plane 112 via a support ring frame 111. Two parallel first movable slides 126 are fixedly mounted on the inner side of the top support ring 125. Second movable slide support blocks 127 are slidably mounted on the two first movable slides 126. Two parallel second movable slides 128 are fixedly mounted between the two second movable slide support blocks 127. Laser welding heads 130 are slidably mounted on the two second movable slides 128. Two parallel lower slides 115 are also slidably mounted on the clamping bar 113. The two lower slides 115 are fixedly engaged with the placement and insertion slots 117. The lower pressure beam 114 is fixedly mounted on the ends of the two lower slides 115 away from the placement and insertion slots 117. Two parallel clamping counterweight support slides 118 are fixedly mounted on the side of the clamping bar 113. A clamping counterweight 119 is slidably mounted on the clamping counterweight support slide 118. The clamping counterweight 119 is movably connected to the downward pressure beam 114 via a downward pressure link 120. The lower surface of the downward pressure beam 114 is higher than the upper surface of the clamping counterweight 119, and the downward pressure link 120 is tilted. Two parallel rack brackets 123 are fixedly mounted on the lower surface of the rotating plane 112. Two racks 122 symmetrical about the center origin of the rotating plane 112 are slidably mounted between the two rack brackets 123. The two racks 122 are fixedly mated with the two clamping bars 113 through elongated slots 121. The two racks 122 are meshed and driven by a linkage gear 124.

[0023] A belt drive assembly 129 is rotatably mounted on the second movable slide bar support block 127, driving the laser welding head 130 to slide on the second movable slide bar 128. A tension spring 131 is mounted around each first movable slide bar 126, with both ends of the tension spring 131 securely mated with the top support ring 125 and the second movable slide bar support block 127. A bow 132 is secured to the ends of the two second movable slide bar support blocks 127, away from the tension spring 131. A movable counterweight 133 is secured in the middle of the bow 132. The bow 132 is slidably mounted on the top edge of the top support ring 125 and also slidably engages with the two first movable slide bars 126. A rotating tray 110 is rotatably mounted on a base 101. A coaxial gear ring disk 102 is also rotatably mounted on the base 101. The gear ring disk 102 and the rotating tray 110 are fixedly coupled via a rotating shaft. A driving disk bracket 106 is also fixedly mounted on the base 101. A gear driving disk 105 is rotatably mounted on the driving disk bracket 106. At least two planetary gears 103 are rotatably mounted on the driving gear disk 105, meshing with the inner side of the gear ring disk 102. A central gear 104 is positioned at the orbital center of all planetary gears 103, meshing with all of the planetary gears 103. A cooperating motor 107 is also fixedly mounted on the driving gear disk 105. The output shaft of the cooperating motor 107 is fixedly coupled to the central gear 104 (power is supplied by a slip ring). A drive motor 109 is also fixedly mounted on the base 101. The output shaft of the drive motor 109 is coupled to the driving gear disk 105 via a transmission belt 108.

[0024] The working principle of the high-precision cutting equipment for ultra-thin metal plates disclosed in the present invention is as follows: the two sides of the plate are inserted into the placement insertion slot 117, and then the pressing beam 114 is pressed down so that the extrusion plate 116 fits with the edge of the plate in the placement insertion slot 117 (the pressing beam 114 and the clamping bar 113 are magnetically matched, so in the default state the extrusion plate 116 will magnetically squeeze the plate in the placement insertion slot 117, and at the same time, the surfaces of the placement insertion slot 117 and the extrusion plate 116 are provided with a rubber coating to increase friction). Then control the cooperative motor 107 or the drive motor 109 (when the cooperative motor 107 and the drive motor 109 are not working, the output shaft can be in a stopped state, and the directional torque can be provided to the rotor according to the force direction of the output shaft to keep it stationary, or a one-way transmission mechanism such as a worm gear is set at the output shaft of the cooperative motor 107 and the drive motor 109, which needs to be used with a gearbox). When the cooperative motor 107 is working, the output shaft will drive the central gear 104 to rotate, and the central gear 104 will drive the gear ring disk 102 to rotate through the planetary gear 103 (the gear active disk 105 is in a stationary state at this time), and the gear ring disk 102 rotates to drive the rotation The tray 110 rotates, and 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. The rotation of the clamping counterweight 119 will be moved outward by the centrifugal force. At this time, the downward pressure connecting rod 120 will drive the downward pressure beam 114 to move in the direction close to the surface of the rotating plane 112, and the downward pressure is provided to the extrusion plate 116 through the downward sliding rod 115, pressing the edge of the plate tightly in the placement insertion groove 117. At the same time, the clamping bar 113 itself will also move outward by the centrifugal force to straighten the plate (thin plate is easy to fall due to gravity, which will cause the surface of the plate to be uneven), making its surface taut and making the surface more flat.

[0025] During cutting, the belt transmission assembly 129 can drive the laser welding head 130 to move on the second movable slide bar 128 (starting the laser welding head 130 can cut the plate, and the powder generated during the cutting process will also rotate and be separated from the plate by centrifugal force; the shell of the laser welding head 130 is fixed to one side of the belt transmission assembly 129), and at the same time, the laser welding head 130 is controlled to move along the direction of the first movable slide bar 126. It is necessary to adjust the rotation speed of the rotating plane 112, and the rotating plane 11 2 rotates synchronously with the top support ring 125, the first movable slide bar 126, the bow frame 132, and the movable counterweight 133. At this time, it is only necessary to control the rotation speed of the rotating plane 112 to control the centrifugal force exerted on the movable counterweight 133. The movable counterweight 133 pulls the second movable slide bar support block 127 through the bow frame 132, and then pulls the tension spring 131. The position of the second movable slide bar support block 127 (laser welding head 130) on the first movable slide bar 126 is adjusted by balancing the centrifugal force and the tension of the tension spring 131.

[0026] The rotation speed of the rotating plane 112 and the rotating tray 110 can be steplessly adjusted by controlling the rotation speed of the output shaft of the cooperative motor 107 or the output shaft of the drive motor 109 or by controlling the rotation speed of both the output shafts of the cooperative motor 107 and the drive motor 109 simultaneously. For example, the cooperative motor 107 is in the off state, controlling the drive motor 109. The output shaft of the drive motor 109 can directly drive the gear active disk 105 to rotate through the transmission belt 108. Since the central gear 104 cannot rotate relative to the gear active disk 105, the gear ring disk 102, the planetary gear 103, the central gear 104, and the gear active disk 105 form a whole. At this time, the rotating tray 110 can be directly driven to rotate, and the transmission ratio between the rotation speed of the rotating tray 110 and the output shaft of the drive motor 109 is a constant value; if the cooperative motor 107 and the drive motor 109 work at the same time, the cooperative motor 107 can drive the central gear 104 to rotate, and the specific rotation speed is limited by the cooperative motor 107. Therefore, the planetary gear 103 will be restricted in its rotation and revolution. At the same time, the power transmitted from the gear active disk 105 to the gear ring disk 102 is also regulated by the planetary gear 103 (the drive motor 109 serves as the power source, and the cooperative motor 107 serves as the regulation; the same is true in reverse).
