Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of numerically controlled gantry sawing machines, and particularly to a numerically controlled gantry sawing machine for extra-large workpieces. Background Art

[0002] In the field of processing extra-large metal components, traditional numerically controlled gantry sawing machines have technical bottlenecks: the saw wheels they use need to have a much larger diameter than the workpiece diameter to ensure normal cutting. This not only increases the overall outline dimensions of the machine tool, but also requires the saw frame to be enlarged, resulting in disadvantages such as poor rigidity, unstable operation, and easy vibration. Its saw band guiding device generally adopts a fixed structure, and the distance between the guiding arms is non-adjustable or only supports one-way adjustment, making it difficult to adapt to the processing scenarios of extra-large workpieces with multiple thicknesses and irregular cross-sections, leading to prominent problems such as out-of-tolerance perpendicularity caused by saw band deviation and abnormal wear of the guiding head. The coordination between the feeding mechanism and the clamping system is insufficient. The design of directly fixing the traditional vise to the feeding base causes cumulative errors due to continuous friction during the workpiece conveying process, and the deformation of the load-bearing roller path caused by the self-weight of the workpiece further exacerbates the inclination of the sawing section. At the same time, the magnetic grating scale signal is easily interfered by the cutting fluid, directly affecting the feeding accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a numerically controlled gantry sawing machine for extra-large workpieces: A numerically controlled gantry sawing machine for extra-large workpieces includes a control center, a saw band, a saw frame, a gantry-type column, a hydraulic drive system, a main drive mechanism, a feeding mechanism, a clamping mechanism, and a saw band guiding device.

The feeding slide of the feeding vise is below the material receiving roller, and the workpiece is sawed on the material receiving roller, so that the workpiece will not rub against the feeding slide to produce an error in the feeding length, and the sawing of the workpiece will not affect the sawing accuracy due to the lifting of the material head after multiple feedings. Now the workpiece disperses the pressure to the foundation through the roller, and the feeding system is only responsible for translation, completely avoiding the Sloven effect.

Different from the fixed guide device of the traditional gantry saw, the movable guide arm of the present invention realizes the up and down bidirectional locking of the slide bar through the double locking hydraulic cylinder, and cooperates with the displacement control of the sliding hydraulic cylinder to meet the processing requirements of workpieces of different thicknesses, solving the problem of guide stability when processing super-large workpieces.

The saw frame is equipped with a belt-breaking protection device. When the saw belt breaks or gets stuck, the equipment will automatically stop to ensure the safety of the operator and the integrity of the equipment.

The control center is installed on one of the auxiliary platforms, and a stairway is provided on the auxiliary platform.

[0013] Beneficial effects: After the workpiece to be processed is placed on the load-carrying roller path of the feeding mechanism, the displacement of the workpiece is determined by a high-precision magnetic grating ruler. First, the workpiece is clamped by the feeding clamping module, and then the entire workpiece is displaced and conveyed by the clamping driving device. After the workpiece is conveyed to the set position, the front clamping module clamps. The double clamping by the clamping module and the feeding clamping module realizes the precise positioning of the large workpiece and effectively prevents the problem of insufficient machining stability of the large workpiece. The maximum sawing range that this equipment can achieve is a maximum diameter of 3000 mm / 3000×3000 mm and a minimum diameter of 850 mm / 850×80 mm; the maximum load-bearing capacity is 85 t.

[0033] Operating principle: Large workpieces are conveyed from the loading roller table 6 to the clamping mechanism. The front clamping module opens, and the feeding and clamping module clamps and feeds it forward to the set position, and then the front clamping module clamps and positions for sawing. After sawing is completed, the front clamping module is opened and then the feeding and clamping module is continued to feed the material to achieve repeated and precise sawing.

[0034] In this application, the PID module is set to collect the position signal of the saw frame 3 in real time at a sampling frequency of 1 kHz, and the proportional link is combined to realize the instant adjustment of the lifting speed of the saw frame 3. When processing ultra-large workpieces with a diameter within 3000 mm, the system can automatically compensate for the inertial displacement of the saw frame 3, and control the tension fluctuation range of the saw band 2 within ±2%. The feeding base 5 is provided with a high-precision magnetic grating ruler, and the magnetic grating ruler is signal-connected to the control center 1. The resolution of the high-precision magnetic grating ruler reaches 1 μm, and a double closed-loop control system is constructed in cooperation with the PID closed-loop control algorithm: the outer loop realizes the preset of the feeding length at the level of 0.01 mm, and the inner loop dynamically corrects the mechanical transmission error. Compared with traditional sawing machines, the feeding repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.3 mm can be achieved, and the risk of sawing surface inclination is completely eliminated.

[0035] After the user places the workpiece to be processed on the load-carrying roller path 6 of the feeding mechanism, the displacement of the workpiece is determined through the high-precision magnetic grating ruler. First, the workpiece is clamped through the feeding clamping module, and then the displacement of the entire workpiece is conveyed through the clamping driving device. After the workpiece is conveyed to the set position, the front clamping module realizes clamping. The precise positioning of the large workpiece is realized through the double clamping of the clamping module and the feeding clamping module, effectively preventing the problem of insufficient processing stability of the large workpiece.

[0036] The layout of the feeding slide table 13 of this application under the roller path is equivalent to physically separating the load-bearing function and the moving function. In traditional designs, these two are coupled, and the workpiece directly presses on the feeding mechanism to generate frictional resistance. Now the workpiece disperses the pressure to the foundation through the roller path, and the feeding system is only responsible for translation, completely avoiding the Slovenia effect.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or variations can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation manners here. And these obvious changes or variations derived from the essential spirit of the present invention still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
