Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of laser cutting equipment technology, and relates to a dual-card tube cutting machine, particularly a dual-card laser tube cutting machine with automatic loading and unloading. Background Technology
[0002] Laser tube cutting machines are efficient and precise tube processing equipment widely used in metal processing, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, and construction engineering. In actual production, the tube feeding method directly affects production efficiency and processing accuracy. Traditional feeding methods typically rely on manual or semi-automatic feeding racks, resulting in low feeding efficiency, high labor intensity, uneven tube placement, and problems such as tube stacking or misalignment, thus affecting cutting accuracy, low automation, and low processing efficiency.
[0003] Existing pipe cutting machines typically employ a single chuck structure or use a cylinder to move the front chuck, which leads to several problems: low cutting accuracy, which affects processing efficiency; the single chuck structure cannot effectively cut the tail material of the pipe, resulting in pipe waste; and when tail material cutting is required, it usually needs to be done manually, which increases labor costs and material waste.
[0004] Therefore, we propose an automatic loading and unloading dual-clamp laser tube cutting machine. This machine can clamp and limit the tubes, and automatically load them with a rear chuck mechanism. It is highly efficient, convenient, and automated. By side-mounting the rear chuck mechanism, the cutting position can be precisely controlled, improving material utilization, reducing consumable costs, and achieving zero-tail cutting. In conjunction with the front chuck mechanism, it is compatible with various tube specifications and has a wide range of applications. It can automatically position and cut tubes, achieving high-efficiency production. It also sucks up the fumes generated during cutting and collects the molten slag, ensuring a clean working environment. It can automatically transport the cut tubes and complete the automatic unloading. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing an automatic loading and unloading dual-cassette laser tube cutting machine. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is: how to achieve fully automatic, zero-tail-material-constrained, rapid cutting of various specifications of tubes using an automatic loading and unloading dual-cassette laser tube cutting machine.
[0006] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: An automatic loading and unloading dual-card laser tube cutting machine includes an auxiliary unloading mechanism two, a slag collection trolley, and a tube cutting frame mechanism arranged sequentially from front to back. The tube cutting frame mechanism includes a horizontal base and a vertical plate frame. The upper end of the horizontal base is provided with a front chuck mechanism and several equidistantly distributed auxiliary loading mechanisms arranged sequentially from front to back. The upper front side of the vertical plate frame is provided with a moving laser head mechanism. The left end of the vertical plate frame is provided with a rear chuck mechanism that slides in the front-back direction. The left end face of the vertical plate frame is provided with a rear chuck mechanism, a dust suction hood, and an auxiliary unloading mechanism one arranged sequentially from back to front. The rear chuck mechanism slides in the front-back direction. The auxiliary unloading mechanism one is located between the slag collection trolley and the auxiliary unloading mechanism two. The dust suction hood is connected to an external vacuum cleaner and is directly opposite the lower end of the moving laser head mechanism.
[0007] The working principle of this invention is as follows: When cutting pipes, the pipes are conveyed to a number of auxiliary feeding mechanisms. The auxiliary feeding mechanisms then clamp and limit the pipes. Next, the rear chuck mechanism slides on the pipe cutting frame mechanism and moves to the end of the pipe. Then, the auxiliary feeding mechanisms move synchronously to lift the pipes so that they face the rear chuck mechanism. The jaws of the rear chuck mechanism then extend into the pipe, supporting the pipes from the inside out and driving the pipes forward. During the movement of the pipes, the auxiliary feeding mechanisms return to their initial positions in sequence to avoid the rear chuck mechanism, allowing the pipes to pass through the front chuck mechanism. The timing of clamping by the front chuck mechanism is adjusted according to the size of the pipes to be cut, automatically positioning and clamping the pipes to achieve fully automatic feeding, which facilitates subsequent cutting. Through the double chuck structure, it is compatible with various pipe specifications, and multiple sections can be cut in a single feeding, improving processing efficiency. During cutting, the moving laser head mechanism moves above the pipe cutting point and emits a laser cutting line. Simultaneously, the rear and front chuck mechanisms rotate synchronously to cooperate with the moving laser head mechanism for cutting. Molten slag falls into the slag collection cart and is collected. The dust generated during cutting is sucked away by an external vacuum cleaner through a dust hood, ensuring a clean working environment. The cut pipe falls onto the upper part of the auxiliary unloading mechanism and the auxiliary loading mechanism. Then, the auxiliary unloading mechanism and the auxiliary loading mechanism move synchronously to transport the cut pipe out. The rear chuck mechanism is installed in a side-mounted manner to improve accuracy. In cooperation with the moving laser head mechanism, "zero tail material" cutting is achieved. The entire process realizes fully automatic loading and unloading, zero tail material cutting, and high-efficiency production.

[0015] With the above structure, the cut pipe falls onto the feed plate 1. The output shaft of the moving motor 4 drives the drive gear 4 to rotate. The drive gear 4 meshes with the rack 4, and the reaction force drives the moving seat 4 to slide on the slide rail seat 4.

[0021] Using the above structure, the pipe is conveyed to several auxiliary feeding mechanisms, where guide rollers support it. Then, the telescopic ends of two electric push rods extend, driving corresponding fixed blocks to rotate. These fixed blocks then rotate corresponding limiting rollers to a vertical position, limiting the pipe between the two limiting rollers. Next, the telescopic end of electric push rod three drives the right-side mounting plate to slide to the left. The right-side mounting plate then moves the connecting rod on the same side, which in turn moves the sliding seat. The slide rail seat 6 slides downwards, driving the connecting rod on the left side to move. The connecting rod on the left side drives the mounting plate on the left side to move to the right, thereby driving the two limiting rollers to move synchronously towards the middle, clamping the pipe.

The drive gear 5 meshes with the rack 43 and reacts to drive the moving seat 44 to slide on the slide rail seat 5. During unloading, the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 41 retract, driving the support frame 40 to rotate, thereby conveying the cut pipe on the support frame 40 out.
[0052] The auxiliary feeding mechanism 2 includes a movable seat 46, which is fixed to the upper end of the horizontal base 11. A movable motor 45 is fixed to the rear side of the movable seat 46, and a drive gear 6 is fixed to the output shaft of the movable motor 45. A slide rail 50 is slidably provided on the front side of the movable seat 46. A vertically arranged rack 6 is provided on the rear side of the slide rail 50, and the rack 6 meshes with the drive gear 6. Two symmetrically arranged mounting plates 52 are slidably provided on the front side of the slide rail 50, and each mounting plate 52 is hinged with a fixing block 53. Electric push rods 48 are hinged between the fixed block 53 and the lower front end of the mounting plate 52. Limiting rollers 49 are rotatably provided on the fixed block 53. A sliding seat 51 that slides vertically is slidably provided on the front side of the slide rail seat 50. A connecting rod 55 is hinged between the upper front end of the two mounting plates 52 and the sliding seat 51. An electric push rod 47 is fixed to the lower front end of the slide rail seat 50. The telescopic end of the electric push rod 47 is fixedly connected to one of the mounting plates 52. A guide roller 54 is rotatably provided on the upper end of the slide rail seat 50.
[0053] In this embodiment, the pipe is conveyed to several auxiliary feeding mechanisms 2, where it is supported by guide rollers 54. Then, the telescopic ends of two electric push rods 48 extend, driving the corresponding fixed blocks 53 to rotate. The fixed blocks then drive the corresponding limiting rollers 49 to rotate to a vertical position, limiting the pipe between the two limiting rollers 49. Subsequently, the telescopic end of electric push rod 47 drives the right-side mounting plate 52 to slide to the left. The right-side mounting plate 52 drives the connecting rod 55 on the same side to move, and the right-side connecting rod 55 drives the sliding seat 5... 1. The slide rail seat 50 slides downwards, and the slide seat 51 drives the left connecting rod 55 to move. The left connecting rod 55 drives the left mounting plate 52 to move to the right, thereby driving the two limiting rollers 49 to move synchronously towards the middle to clamp the pipe. When feeding, the output shaft of the moving motor 45 drives the drive gear 6 to rotate. The drive gear 6 meshes with the rack 6 and drives the rack 6 to move. The rack 6 drives the slide rail seat 50 to slide on the moving seat 46, thereby driving the two limiting rollers 49 and the pipe in the middle to move upwards, so that the pipe is aligned with the four corner electric chucks 18, which facilitates feeding.
[0054] The working principle of this invention is as follows: During pipe cutting, the pipe is conveyed above several auxiliary feeding mechanisms 2. These mechanisms then clamp and limit the pipe, specifically by the guide rollers 54 supporting it. Next, the telescopic ends of two electric push rods 48 extend, driving the corresponding fixed blocks 53 to rotate. These fixed blocks then rotate the corresponding limiting rollers 49 to a vertical position, limiting the pipe between the two limiting rollers 49. Finally, the telescopic end of an electric push rod 47 drives the right-side mounting plate 52 to slide to the left. The right-side mounting plate 52 then drives the connecting rod 55 on the same side to move... The right-side connecting rod 55 drives the sliding seat 51 to slide downwards on the slide rail seat 6 50. The sliding seat 51 drives the left-side connecting rod 55 to move, and the left-side connecting rod 55 drives the left-side mounting plate 52 to move to the right, thereby driving the two limit rollers 49 to move synchronously towards the center to clamp the pipe. Then, the rear chuck mechanism 3 slides on the pipe cutting frame mechanism 1, that is, the output shaft of the moving motor 14 drives the drive gear 1 to rotate. The drive gear 1 meshes with the rack 13, and the reaction force drives the moving seat 20 to slide on the slide rail seat 1, so that the four-corner electric chuck 18 moves to the end position of the pipe. Subsequently, several auxiliary feeding mechanisms 2 move synchronously to lift the pipe, so that the pipe is straight. The output shaft of the rear chuck mechanism 3, i.e., the moving motor 45, drives the drive gear 6 to rotate. The drive gear 6 meshes with the rack 6, and the reaction force drives the rack 6 to move. The rack 6 drives the slide rail seat 50 to slide on the moving seat 46, thereby driving the two limit rollers 49 and the tube in the middle to move upward, so that the tube is facing the four-corner electric chuck 18. Then, the jaws of the rear chuck mechanism 3 extend into the tube, supporting the tube from the inside out, and driving the tube to move forward. During the movement of the tube, several auxiliary feeding mechanisms 2 return to their initial positions in sequence to avoid the rear chuck mechanism 3, so that the tube passes through the front chuck mechanism 4 and is cut as needed. The size of the pipe is used to adjust when the front chuck mechanism 4 clamps, automatically positioning and clamping the pipe. That is, when clamping, the pipe passes through the rotating shaft of the fixed seat 2 35, the four-corner electric chuck 2 56 and the inside of the clamping cavity. The four jaws of the four-corner electric chuck 2 56 move towards the center of the chuck at the same time. The clamping roller 37 drives the corresponding clamping bracket 36 to move. The clamping bracket 36 drives the corresponding clamping roller 37 to move until the clamping roller 37 abuts against the pipe. All the clamping rollers 37 cooperate to clamp the pipe, realizing fully automatic feeding, which is convenient for subsequent cutting. Through the double chuck structure, it is compatible with a variety of pipe specifications. Multiple sections can be cut in a single feeding, improving processing efficiency. During cutting, the moving laser head mechanism 9 moves above the pipe cutting point, meaning the output shaft of the second moving motor drives the second drive gear to rotate. The second drive gear meshes with the second rack 25, and in turn, drives the second moving seat 24 to slide on the second slide rail 21. The output shaft of the third moving motor 22 drives the third drive gear to rotate. The third drive gear meshes with the third rack 28, and in turn, drives the third moving seat 29 to slide on the third slide rail 27. Simultaneously, the third moving seat 29 drives the electric lead screw 23 to move, and the lead screw slide of the electric lead screw 23... The moving laser cutting head 26 moves to adjust the cutting position and emit a laser cutting line. Simultaneously, the rear chuck mechanism 3 and the front chuck mechanism 4 rotate synchronously to cooperate with the moving laser head mechanism 9 for cutting. Specifically, the output shaft of drive motor 15 drives the rotating shaft of rotating seat 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the four-corner electric chuck 18 to rotate. Subsequently, the output shaft of drive motor 2 34 drives drive gear 7 to rotate, which in turn drives driven gear 38 to rotate. Driven gear 38 then drives the rotating shaft of the four-corner electric chuck 2 56 within the fixed seat 2 35. The rotating part drives the four-corner electric chuck 2 56 and the four-corner electric chuck 1 18 to rotate synchronously. The molten slag falls into the slag collection cart 5 and is collected. The dust generated during cutting is sucked away by the external vacuum cleaner through the dust suction hood 8, ensuring a clean working environment. The cut pipe falls onto the upper end of the auxiliary unloading mechanism 1 7 and the auxiliary loading mechanism 2. Then, the auxiliary unloading mechanism 1 7 and the auxiliary loading mechanism 2 move synchronously to transport the cut pipe out. That is, the cut pipe falls onto the unloading plate 1 32. The output shaft of the moving motor 4 31 drives the drive Gear 4 rotates, driving gear 4 to mesh with rack 4, which in turn drives moving seat 4 to slide on slide rail seat 4 30. Subsequently, the telescopic end of electric push rod 1 33 retracts, causing unloading plate 1 32 to rotate. The output shaft of moving motor 5 42 drives drive gear 5 to move. Drive gear 5 meshes with rack 5 43, which in turn drives moving seat 5 44 to slide on slide rail seat 5. During unloading, the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods 2 41 retract, causing support frame 40 and unloading plate 1 32 to rotate synchronously, conveying the cut pipe out. The chuck mechanism 3 is installed in a side-mounted manner to improve accuracy, and "zero tail material" cutting is achieved by cooperating with moving laser head mechanism 9. The entire process realizes fully automatic loading and unloading, zero tail material cutting, and high-efficiency production.
[0055] In summary, the pipes are clamped and limited by several auxiliary feeding mechanisms 2, and automatically fed by the rear chuck mechanism 3, which is efficient, convenient and highly automated. By side-mounting the rear chuck mechanism 3, the cutting position can be precisely controlled, improving material utilization, reducing material costs, achieving zero tail material cutting, and cooperating with the front chuck mechanism 4 to be compatible with various pipe specifications and have a wide range of applications. The moving laser head mechanism 9 automatically positions and cuts the pipes, enabling efficient production. The dust generated during cutting is sucked up by an external vacuum cleaner connected to the dust hood 8, and the molten slag collected during cutting is collected by the slag collection cart 5 to ensure a clean working environment. The auxiliary feeding mechanism 7 and the auxiliary feeding mechanism 2 work together to automatically convey the cut pipe and complete the automatic feeding.
