[0039] The following describes the specific embodiments of the present disclosure in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the present disclosure.

[0040] In this disclosure, unless otherwise indicated, directional terms such as "upper, lower, front, rear, left, and right" are used for ease of description and are defined based on the drawing orientation of the corresponding drawings. "Inside" and "outside" are defined based on the inherent contours of the corresponding components. Terms such as "first" and "second" used in this disclosure are intended to distinguish one element from another and do not convey order or importance. Furthermore, when the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, identical numbers in different drawings represent identical or similar elements.

[0041] See also Figures 1 to 3 The embodiment of the present disclosure provides an automatic processing equipment for removing cutting nodules of steel plates, including a frame 100, an X-axis moving mechanism 210, a Y-axis moving mechanism 220, a clamping mechanism 300, a cutting mechanism 400 and a tool changing mechanism 500. Among them, the X-axis moving mechanism 210 is installed on the frame 100. The Y-axis moving mechanism 220 is installed on the frame 100 through the X-axis moving mechanism 210, and the Y direction is perpendicular to the X direction. The clamping mechanism 300 is installed on the frame 100 and is used to clamp the steel plate 10. The cutting mechanism 400 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis moving mechanism 220 and is located on the side of the steel plate 10 close to the cutting nodule 11. The cutting mechanism 400 is used to cut the cutting nodule 11. The tool changing mechanism 500 is installed on the frame 100 and is used to provide a tool 560 to the cutting mechanism 400.

[0042] As can be understood, the X-moving mechanism 210 is mounted on the frame 100 to achieve precise forward and backward movement; the Y-moving mechanism 220 is mounted on the frame 100 through the X-moving mechanism 210 and is perpendicular to the X-direction, achieving precise left and right movement; the clamping mechanism 300 is mounted on the frame 100 to firmly clamp the steel plate 10; the cutting mechanism 400 is fixedly connected to the Y-moving mechanism 220 and is located on the side of the steel plate 10 near the cutting nodule 11, capable of precise movement and cutting as needed; and the tool changing mechanism 500 is mounted on the frame 100 to provide a cutting tool 560. The working principle is as follows: through the coordinated action of the X- and Y-moving mechanisms 220, the clamping mechanism 300 clamps the steel plate 10, and the cutting mechanism 400 moves to a precise position and uses the tool 560 provided by the tool changing mechanism 500 to remove the cutting nodule 11 on the steel plate 10, thereby improving the cutting efficiency of the cutting nodule 11.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figures 10 to 15The frame 100 is formed with a processing position 110, and an avoidance groove 120 is provided at the bottom of the processing position 110, and the steel plate 10 is placed above the avoidance groove 120; the clamping mechanism 300 includes a pressing component 310, an X-direction pushing component 320 and an X-direction positioning surface switching component 330. Among them, the pressing component 310 is installed on the side of the frame 100 away from the cutting tumor 11, and is used to press down the steel plate 10. The X-direction pushing component 320 is installed in the avoidance groove 120. The X-direction positioning surface switching component 330 is arranged in the avoidance groove 120 in an X-direction offset manner with the X-direction pushing component 320. The X-direction pushing component 320 and the X-direction positioning surface switching component 330 are used to clamp the steel plate 10 in the X-direction. The working principle is: first, the steel plate 10 is placed above the avoidance groove 120, and the downward pressure component 310 presses the steel plate 10 downward to ensure its stability; then, the X-axis pushing component 320 and the X-axis positioning surface switching component 330 work together to move and accurately position the steel plate 10 along the X-axis direction, providing precise clamping to ensure high precision requirements in the subsequent cutting process of removing the tumor 11.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figures 10 to 12 The pressing assembly 310 is provided with multiple parts and spaced apart in the Y direction to ensure the stability and reliability of the pressing. The pressing assembly 310 includes a first standard oil cylinder 311, a first pressing plate 312, a pressing bracket and a pressing head 314. The first standard oil cylinder 311 is mounted on the frame 100, and the output shaft of the first standard oil cylinder 311 is hinged to one end of the first pressing plate 312. The pressing head 314 is mounted on the other end of the first pressing plate 312. The pressing head 314 is used to abut the top surface of the steel plate 10. The middle part of the first pressing plate 312 is hinged to the pressing bracket, and the bottom of the pressing bracket 313 is fixedly connected to the frame 100. Specifically, there can be four down-holding assemblies 310, which function to stably clamp the steel plate 10 on the positioning block. The main clamping mechanism (down-holding assembly 310) is a rocker-hinged type. The main clamping cylinder is mounted on the frame 100 via four M24 screws. The front end of the cylinder piston rod is connected to a joint via an external thread. The joint is connected to the first pressure plate 312 via a pin. The first pressure plate 312 is connected to the down-holding bracket via a connecting plate and a pin. The ram 314 is connected to the first pressure plate 312 via a pin. The down-holding bracket is mounted on the frame 100. The cylinder and down-holding bracket are fixed. When the cylinder piston rod extends, the pressure plate swings around the pin, and the ram 314 swings downward to achieve clamping. When the cylinder piston rod retracts, the ram 314 swings upward to achieve release.

[0045] The clamping mechanism 300 may also include a base, and the downward pressing component 310, the X-direction pushing component 320 and the X-direction positioning surface switching component 330 are all installed on the frame 100 through the base. The user can first assemble the components used for the clamping mechanism 300 on the base, and then directly fix the base on the frame 100 after assembly.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 and Figure 15 The X-direction pushing assembly 320 includes a second standard oil cylinder 321, a connecting block 322, a rotating oil cylinder 323 and a second pressure plate 324. The second standard oil cylinder 321 is installed in the avoidance groove 120 through the cylinder seat. The output shaft of the second standard oil cylinder 321 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 322. The rotating oil cylinder 323 is installed at the end of the connecting block 322 away from the second standard oil cylinder 321. The output shaft of the rotating oil cylinder 323 is installed with the second pressure plate 324. The second pressure plate 324 is used to abut the X-direction of the steel plate 10.

[0047] Specifically, the X-direction pushing assembly 320 consists of a 40mm diameter standard cylinder, a rotating cylinder 323, a cylinder seat, a pressure plate, a guide shaft 333, a guide rail seat, and a bearing seat 334. There are three sets of X-direction pushing components. The X-direction pushing assembly 320 and the X-direction positioning surface switching assembly 330 work together to clamp the steel plate 10 in the front-to-back direction. The second standard cylinder 321 is mounted on the cylinder seat, which is fixed to the clamping body. The standard cylinder drives the rotating cylinder 323 and the second pressure plate 324 to move back and forth via two guide shafts 333 to achieve the pushing action. The rotating cylinder 323 is mounted on a movable cylinder seat. During loading, the standard cylinder is extended, and the rotating cylinder 323 is also extended and horizontal. When the steel plate 10 needs to be pushed, the rotating cylinder 323 is swung up and retracted, and then the standard cylinder is retracted (i.e., vertically), pushing the steel plate 10 against the X-direction reference plane for positioning.

[0048] In one embodiment, see Figures 10 to 16 The X-direction positioning surface switching assembly 330 includes a third standard oil cylinder 331, a limit block 332, a guide shaft 333, a bearing seat 334 and an L-shaped positioning block 335. The third standard oil cylinder 331 is installed in the avoidance groove 120 through the cylinder seat. The output shaft of the third standard oil cylinder 331 is passed through the limit block 332 and is slidably connected to the limit block 332. The end of the output shaft of the third standard oil cylinder 331 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped positioning block 335. The vertical side wall of the L-shaped positioning block 335 is used to abut the X direction of the steel plate 10, and the horizontal side wall of the L-shaped positioning block 335 is used to support the steel plate 10. The guide shaft 333 is installed in the avoidance groove 120 through the guide rail seat, and the L-shaped positioning block 335 is slidably connected to the guide shaft 333 through a slider. In this way, the switching of the X-axis positioning surface can be achieved, and the processing surface of the steel plate 10 of different widths can be achieved by switching the positioning surface to meet the processing requirements; the positioning of the steel plate 10 is divided into two gears, and the steel plate 10 with a width of 320mm-475mm needs to retract the X-axis positioning cylinder, and the steel plate 10 with a width of 150mm-320mm needs to extend the X-axis positioning cylinder; the X-axis reference positioning surface switching mechanism is fixed to the fixture body by installing screws.

[0049] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 and Figure 13 The clamp mechanism 300 also includes a plurality of steel plate body positioning blocks 340 arranged above the avoidance groove 120, and the top surfaces of the steel plate body positioning blocks 340 form a grid surface and a striped surface. Specifically, it is composed of 6 steel plate body positioning blocks 340. The arrangement position of the steel plate body positioning blocks 340 on the clamp is based on the consideration of achieving the positioning and placement of steel plates 10 with a length of 800-1700mm, a width of 147-475mm, and a thickness of 70-140mm on the clamp. When loading, the steel plate 10 is directly placed on the steel plate body positioning blocks 340 of the clamp mechanism 300 through a large electromagnet. In order to increase the friction between the steel plate 10 and the positioning blocks, since the lower surface of the steel plate 10 is not very smooth, in order to avoid the situation of material jamming when pushing against the steel plate 10, the positioning blocks are made into two pattern effects, and the surface of the positioning blocks are made into a grid surface form and a striped form; each positioning block is installed on the clamp body by 4 M10 screws.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 and Figure 14 The clamping mechanism 300 also includes a plurality of auxiliary support cylinders 350, which are arranged on the frame 100 at intervals along the Y direction and are located at one end of the cutting nodule 11 of the steel plate 10 to support the steel plate 10. The function is to support the wider steel plate 10; after the steel plate 10 with a width of about 475 mm is positioned and clamped on the clamp, there is a certain width dimension below the processing surface side that cannot be supported by the steel plate body positioning block 340, which will generate vibration during processing. In order to reduce the vibration of the steel plate 10 and increase the stability of positioning and clamping, an auxiliary support cylinder 350 is added below the processing surface side. After the main clamp clamps the workpiece, the front end of the auxiliary support is extended through the oil circuit to support the bottom of the steel plate 10. The auxiliary support cylinder 350 is installed on the clamp body by 4 M10 screws;

[0051] In one embodiment, see Figure 10 The clamping mechanism 300 further includes a Y-axis stopper 360, which is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to abut the Y-axis of the steel plate 10. Since the cutting force during machining is relatively large and there is no positioning or clamping in the Y-axis, a stopper is required during machining to ensure that the steel plate 10 does not fall out of the clamp when the cutting force is greater than the clamping force.

[0052] See also Figures 10 to 15 as well as Figure 18Before loading the steel plate 10, the size of the steel plate 10 is identified by the loading platform, and the size information of the steel plate 10 is sent to the processing equipment. If the width of the steel plate 10 is greater than or equal to 320 mm, the cylinder of the X-axis positioning surface switching component 330 is retracted. If the width of the steel plate 10 is less than 320 mm, the cylinder of the X-axis positioning surface switching component 330 is extended, and the reference surface is switched; the positioning switching action corresponds to the X-axis positioning surface switching component 330, the rotary clamping / relaxing action is the rotary cylinder 323 of the X-axis pushing front end, the pushing clamping / relaxing action is the standard cylinder of the X-axis pushing component 320, the main clamping / relaxing action is the main clamping mechanism cylinder action, and the auxiliary clamping / relaxing action is the auxiliary support mechanism;

[0053] Advantages of the clamp mechanism 300:

[0054] 1. This fixture solves the problem of clamping and positioning steel plates 10 within the required size range.

[0055] 2. This fixture can meet the problem of processing and cutting steel plates 10 of different widths by switching the X-axis positioning surface switching component 330.

[0056] 3. This mechanism can be widely used in steel plate 10 processing equipment.

[0057] 4. This fixture has strong rigidity and can meet the needs of heavy cutting.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 as well as Figure 6The cutting mechanism 400 includes a first motor 410, a small pulley 420, a large pulley 430, a synchronous belt 440, a mechanical spindle 450, and a cutting cylinder 460. The first motor 410 is mounted on the slide of the Y-axis moving mechanism 220 via a motor bracket. The small pulley 420 is mounted on the outer periphery of the output shaft of the first motor 410 and is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 410. The large pulley 430 is mounted on the rear end of the mechanical spindle 450. The synchronous belt 440 is wound around the small pulley 420 and the large pulley 430. The cutting cylinder 460 is mounted on the motor bracket and is located at the rear end of the mechanical spindle 450. The cutting cylinder 460 is used to loosen the tool 560 at the front end of the mechanical spindle 450. The small pulley 420 and the large pulley 430 here refer to the pulley diameters. The tapping cylinder 460 is mounted on the motor bracket. The motor has a rated speed of 590 rpm. The spindle output speed is reduced by the synchronous belt 440 with a reduction ratio of 34:72, reducing the rated spindle speed to 278 rpm. The mechanical spindle 450 is a BT50. To enable automatic tool changing, a tapping cylinder 460 is installed at the rear end of the spindle. The tapping cylinder 460 is mounted on the motor bracket at the rear end of the mechanical spindle 450. The spindle position is required during tool changes, so a spindle position identification switch is installed at the rear end of the spindle. The spindle assembly is connected to the slide assembly via the X-axis guide rail. Specifically, the tapping cylinder 460 provides thrust through the hydraulic system, pushing the tool puller forward, thereby releasing the spindle clamp and enabling tool 560 to be changed. During this process, the spindle remains stationary, while the tapping cylinder 460 uses internal mechanical structures (such as disc springs and a locking mechanism) to offset the axial force during tool changes, protecting the spindle bearings from damage.

[0059] In one embodiment, see Figure 6 The cutting mechanism 400 also includes a spindle positioning switch 470 and a first sensor 480. The spindle positioning switch 470 and the first sensor 480 are mounted on the rear end housing of the mechanical spindle 450.
