[0007] Guide rods are installed on the wheel seat, and several of the guide rods are respectively connected to the mounting arm and the adjustment seat. A laser cutting head is installed on the mounting arm, and the laser of the laser cutting head passes through the center line of the fixed ring seat. A wheel plate is installed on the mounting arm, and a wheel arm is installed on the adjustment seat. A second guide roller is installed on both the wheel plate and the wheel arm, and the first guide roller and the second guide roller are coaxially arranged.

[0008] Preferably, a support arm is installed at the end of the base, an electric push rod cocentric with the fixed ring seat is installed on the support arm, a baffle is installed at the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and a discharge slide is installed on the side wall of the base.

[0015] A working method for a wear-resistant steel ball blank cutting device, the specific operating steps of the working method are as follows:

[0016] Step 1: Place the rod-shaped blank between the two first guide rollers located below the fixed ring seat. The electric slider moves along the linear module, and the push rod pushes the rod-shaped blank to move until the end of the rod-shaped blank contacts the baffle. The baffle is moved by the electric push rod, and the horizontal distance between the baffle and the laser cutting head is adjusted according to the required length of the rod-shaped blank.

[0017] Step 2: The threaded rod is driven to rotate by the first motor, and then the threaded sliding arm is driven to move along the sliding rod. At this time, the rack at the end of the sliding arm cooperates with the meshing external teeth to drive the rotating ring seat to rotate on the supporting ring seat. As the rotating ring seat rotates, the arc groove acts on the guide rod, driving the guide rod to move along the translation groove. At this time, the wheel seat connected to the guide rod moves along the guide rail until the first guide roller contacts the main body of the rod blank, and the second guide roller contacts the rod blank after the cutting position of the rod blank. At this time, the position of the laser cutting head is adjusted close to the rod blank to complete the centering, positioning, clamping and fixing of the rod blank;

The second motor drives the synchronous wheel to rotate, and the cooperation of the synchronous belt and the belt groove drives one of the first guide rollers to rotate. As the first guide roller rotates, the rod-shaped blank rotates synchronously, and then the laser cutting head is used to cut the rod-shaped blank. After the cutting is completed, the wheel arm is driven to rotate by the third motor, and then the position of one of the second guide rollers is adjusted. At this time, the distance between the two second guide rollers is greater than the diameter of the rod-shaped blank. The cut rod-shaped blank automatically falls and is collected in the unloading chute.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the present invention are: adopting a rotating ring seat and an arc groove linkage structure, the first motor drives the rack to engage with the external teeth of the rotating ring seat, automatically adjusting the distance between the first guide roller and the second guide roller to adapt to bars of different diameters, and greatly shortening the clamping and positioning time;

[0020] The double guide rollers work together to press, the first guide roller clamps the main body of the bar, and the second guide roller accurately fixes the rear end of the cutting area to prevent deviation caused by cutting vibration;

[0021] The second motor drives the first guide roller to rotate through the synchronous belt to realize the automatic adjustment of the bar speed. The linear module controls the push rod to feed in sections to achieve continuous multi-section cutting.

[0022] The laser cutting head is linked to the adjustment seat through the guide rod to automatically adjust the distance between the laser cutting head and the rod blank. During cutting, the incision shape is controlled, the beam action area is expanded, the bottom slag is reduced, the heat-affected zone is reduced, and precise defocus adjustment is performed.

[0023] The laser cutting head cuts along the center line of the bar, with a cross-section taper of less than 0.5°. The subsequent turning allowance is reduced by 70%, reducing blank loss while ensuring cutting accuracy. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
