Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of steel structure cutting, and particularly relates to a light rail type three-dimensional cutting device and a processing method thereof. Background Technique

[0002] For the bevel processing of steel structures, the heat energy of a gas flame is used to heat the cutting part of the workpiece to a certain temperature, and then a high-speed cutting oxygen flow is used to make the steel burn and release heat to achieve cutting. Commonly, an oxygen-acetylene flame is used as the gas flame cutting, also known as oxygen-acetylene gas cutting.

[0003] Properties of oxygen and acetylene: Oxygen is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas. When mixed with acetylene and burned, the temperature can reach above 3150 °C, which is most suitable for welding and gas cutting. Pure oxygen is very active at high temperatures. When the temperature remains unchanged and the pressure increases, oxygen can undergo a violent chemical reaction with oils, causing spontaneous combustion and generating a strong explosion. Therefore, it is necessary to strictly prevent the oxygen cylinder from coming into contact with grease.

[0004] Acetylene (C2H2), also known as calcium carbide gas, is an unsaturated hydrocarbon. At normal temperature and atmospheric pressure, it is a colorless gas. In industrial acetylene, because it contains many impurities such as phosphine and hydrogen sulfide, it has a pungent and special smell. Acetylene is a combustible gas. When the temperature of acetylene is higher than 600 °C or the pressure exceeds 0.15 MPa, it will explode immediately when encountering an open flame. Therefore, attention should be paid to ventilation at the welding and gas cutting sites.

[0005] Process and conditions of gas cutting: Gas cutting consists of three processes: preheating of the metal, combustion, and removal of oxides. When starting gas cutting, it is necessary to preheat the metal at the gas cutting part to the ignition point (the ignition point of carbon steel is about 1100 - 1150 °C) with a preheating flame, and then spray the cutting oxygen onto the metal that has reached the ignition point and start burning violently, generating a large amount of oxides (slag). Due to the large amount of heat released during combustion, the slag is blown away. In this way, the heat generated during the oxidation of the upper layer of metal is transferred to the lower layer of metal, preheating the lower layer of metal to the ignition point, and the gas cutting process penetrates from the surface to the entire thickness until the metal is cut through.

[0006] The gas cutting performance of various metals is different. Only metals that meet the following conditions can be smoothly gas cut: The ignition point of the metal in oxygen is lower than the melting point of the metal.

[0007] The melting point of the oxide is lower than the melting point of the metal itself.

[0008] The metal can release more heat during combustion.

[0009] The thermal conductivity of the metal should not be too high.

[0010] The end processing of steel structures generally uses semi-automatic trolley cutting machines or numerical control section steel cutting equipment. The former is suitable for scenarios with limited budgets and relatively simple cutting requirements, but has low efficiency and accuracy. The latter is suitable for industries that require high-efficiency and high-precision cutting of section steel, but has a relatively single function and is not suitable for complex components with brackets and component plates. Summary of the Invention

Detailed implementation method

[0029] The technical solution of the invention will be further specifically described below through embodiments in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0030] Embodiment: As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, a light rail type three-dimensional cutting device includes a workpiece to be processed 1, and the workpiece to be processed 1 is various shaped parts, sections, box steel structures, vertical plate boilers or curved steel plates for shipbuilding.

The three-dimensional cutting assembly 2 includes a cutting mainframe 5. A speed regulator 6 is provided at the upper end of the cutting mainframe 5. A direction switch 18 electrically connected to the cutting mainframe 5 is provided on the side of the speed regulator 6. A clutch release lever 7 is provided on the side of the cutting mainframe 5. A guide rail 3 is provided at the lower end of the cutting mainframe 5. Sliding rollers 16 that are snap-fitted and slidably inserted with the guide rail 3 are provided on both the front and rear sides at the lower end of the cutting mainframe 5. A carrying handle 8 is provided on the side of the clutch release lever 7. Electromagnet blocks 13 magnetically connected to the workpiece to be processed 1 are provided on both sides at the lower end of the guide rail 3. A longitudinal rack 4 is provided between the guide rail 3 and the cutting mainframe 5. A torch 12 is provided on the side of the cutting mainframe 5. A heat insulation plate 14 fixedly connected to the cutting mainframe 5 by screws is provided between the lower part of the cutting mainframe 5 and the torch 12. A horizontal rack 17 is provided between the torch 12 and the cutting mainframe 5. A left and right displacement knob 15 that is in tooth-shaped engagement with the horizontal rack 17 is provided at the rear end of the cutting mainframe 5. A torch seat 10 that horizontally displaces along the horizontal rack 17 is provided between the horizontal rack 17 and the torch 12. A vertical rack 9 for driving the torch 12 to move up and down is provided inside the torch seat 10. A lifting knob 11 that is in tooth-shaped engagement with the vertical rack 9 is provided on the torch seat 10.

[0031] A processing method for a light rail type three-dimensional cutting device includes the following operation steps: First step: Mark the center line on the outer contour of the workpiece to be processed 1 and make a center punch mark.

[0032] Second step: Make a measurement line perpendicular to the center line at a distance of 200 mm to 300 mm from the end face, and then make an end cutting line parallel to the measurement line.

[0033] Third step: Starting from the end point of the end cutting line in the plate thickness direction, make corresponding bevel angle lines.

[0034] Step 4: Place the guide rail 3 at the cutting position of the workpiece to be processed 1, perform electromagnetic suction through the electromagnet block 13, and align the cutting torch 12 with the cutting starting point. The cutting torch 12 is controlled by the cutting host 5 and moves along the longitudinal rack 4, vertical rack 9, and transverse rack 17 to achieve three-dimensional cutting of the cutting torch 12.

[0035] Step 5: Bring the flame close to the cutting torch 12 to ignite it, ensure sufficient preheating, and then start cutting.

[0036] The three-dimensional flame cutting machine uses a numerical control system to control every step of the cutting process, including parameters such as cutting path, cutting speed, and cutting depth. The numerical control system can automatically control the movement trajectory and flame size of the flame cutting gun according to the preset program, thereby achieving precise cutting of metal materials.

[0037] The flame cutting system is the core part of the three-dimensional flame cutting machine. It uses the heat energy generated by the combustion of oxygen and fuel gas (such as acetylene, propane, liquefied gas, etc.) to preheat the cutting area of the workpiece to the ignition point of the metal, and then sprays a high-speed cutting oxygen stream to make the preheated metal burn and release heat to achieve cutting.

[0038] The drive system is responsible for controlling the movement of the cutting gun, including horizontal and vertical movements, and possible rotational movements to meet the requirements of three-dimensional cutting. The drive system usually includes motors, guide rails, and transmission devices, etc., to ensure that the cutting gun can move precisely along the preset trajectory.

[0039] In order to keep the distance between the cutting machine head and the steel plate constant, the three-dimensional flame cutting machine is usually equipped with an automatic height adjustment device. This device can automatically adjust the height of the cutting machine head according to the thickness of the steel plate and changes during the cutting process to ensure cutting quality and efficiency.

[0040] In summary, the light rail type three-dimensional cutting device and its processing method have the advantages of compact structure, convenient operation, good running stability, and time-saving and labor-saving. By precisely controlling the movement and flame size of the flame cutting gun through the numerical control system, using the heat generated by the combustion of oxygen and fuel gas to cut metal materials, it is suitable for cutting thick carbon steel plates, and the cutting cost is relatively low.

[0041] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, but the structural features of the present invention are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present invention are covered by the patent scope of the present invention.
