Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of laser cutting, and in particular to a cutting device for metal sheets. Background Technology

[0002] The outer frame of a water-cooling heat dissipation device used in servers is usually made of sheet metal. The first step in the manufacturing process of the outer frame is to cut the sheet metal into its shape using a cutting device. Subsequent processes then perform finishing on the cut sheet metal.

[0003] Currently, metal sheet cutting is usually done using laser cutting equipment. During the cutting process, the metal sheet is usually manually moved onto the support table of the laser cutting equipment, and then the position of the metal sheet is manually adjusted to make the metal sheet as close as possible to the cutting position of the laser head. This is not only cumbersome, but also prone to inaccurate manual adjustment and positioning, resulting in serious waste of metal sheet. This problem urgently needs to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To facilitate the cutting of metal sheets and reduce production waste, this application provides a cutting device for metal sheets.

[0005] This application provides a cutting device for metal sheets, which adopts the following technical solution: A sheet metal cutting device includes a feeding mechanism, a cutting mechanism, an adjusting mechanism, a sensing module, and a control console. The feeding mechanism feeds the sheet metal into the cutting mechanism. The sensing module and the adjusting mechanism are both electrically connected to the control console. The sensing module senses the position of the sheet metal in the cutting mechanism and feeds the position information back to the control console. The control console controls the adjusting mechanism to adjust the position of the sheet metal.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to cut metal sheets, the feeding mechanism conveys the metal sheet to the cutting mechanism. After the metal sheet enters the cutting mechanism, the sensing module first senses the position of the metal sheet and feeds back the position information to the control console. The control console controls the adjustment mechanism to adjust the position of the metal sheet so that the cutting mechanism can cut the metal sheet more accurately. At the same time, the control console can better plan the cutting path, which helps to reduce waste in the cutting process. The entire cutting process does not require manual adjustment, has a high degree of automation, and is simple and convenient to operate.

[0007] Preferably, the cutting mechanism includes a support assembly and a movable laser head, the support assembly being used to support the metal sheet transferred from the feeding mechanism, and the laser head automatically cutting the metal sheet on the support assembly.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the support component supports the metal sheet, and the movable laser head automatically cuts the metal sheet under the control of the control console. The automation level is high and the operation is convenient and fast.

[0009] Preferably, the support assembly includes a support base and a plurality of support plates, wherein the plurality of support plates are arranged vertically and side by side at intervals on the support base, and the upper ends of the plurality of support plates are flush.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the support base supports several support plates. The several support plates are arranged vertically and side by side to support the metal sheet. This facilitates the removal of debris and other impurities generated during the cutting operation from the support plates, thereby avoiding interference with subsequent metal sheet cutting operations.

[0011] Preferably, the upper ends of the plurality of support plates are all serrated.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the serrated design at the upper end of the support plate reduces the contact area between the support plate and the metal sheet, and the serrated structure can avoid the laser beam, making it easier for the laser head to perform a more thorough cutting action on the metal sheet.

[0013] Preferably, the adjustment mechanism is disposed in the support assembly. The adjustment mechanism includes a first moving component and a second moving component. The first moving component is disposed between several support plates to drive the metal plate to move along the length direction of the support plates. The second moving component is disposed between several support plates to drive the metal plate to move in a direction perpendicular to the length of the support plates. Both the first moving component and the second moving component are electrically connected to the control console.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the feeding mechanism conveys the metal sheet to the support component, the second moving component first drives the metal sheet to move in a direction perpendicular to the length of the support plate, so that the metal sheet is transferred to the cutting processing range of the laser head. Then, the sensing module senses and feeds back the position information of the metal sheet. The first moving component and the second moving component cooperate to adjust the position of the metal sheet. No manual adjustment is required, which is convenient and fast.

[0015] Preferably, the first moving component includes a first lifting member and a first rolling member. The first lifting member is disposed between two adjacent support plates to drive the first rolling member to move vertically up and down. The rolling direction of the first rolling member is set along the length direction of the support plate. When the first rolling member is at its highest point, the top of the first rolling member is higher than the top of the support plate. When the first rolling member is at its lowest point, the top of the first rolling member is lower than the top of the support plate. Both the first lifting member and the first rolling member are electrically connected to the control console.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the first lifting component drives the first rolling component to move vertically downward, so that when the first rolling component is at its lowest point, the top of the first rolling component is lower than the top of the support plate. The first moving component is hidden below the top of the support plate to avoid interfering with the supporting effect of the support plate. The first lifting component drives the first rolling component to move vertically upward, so that when the first rolling component is at its highest point, the top of the first rolling component is higher than the top of the support plate. This allows the first rolling component to lift the metal plate off the support plate. Combined with the rolling action of the first rolling component, the position of the metal plate in the length direction of the support plate can be adjusted.

[0017] Preferably, the second moving component includes a second lifting member and a second rolling member. The second lifting member is disposed between two adjacent support plates to drive the second rolling member to move vertically up and down. The rolling direction of the second rolling member is perpendicular to the length direction of the support plate. When the second rolling member is at its highest point, the top of the second rolling member is higher than the top of the support plate. When the second rolling member is at its lowest point, the top of the second rolling member is lower than the top of the support plate. Both the second lifting member and the second rolling member are electrically connected to the control console.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the second lifting component drives the second rolling component to move vertically downward, so that when the second rolling component is at its lowest point, the top of the second rolling component is lower than the top of the support plate. The second moving component is hidden below the top of the support plate to avoid interfering with the supporting effect of the support plate. The second lifting component drives the second rolling component to move vertically upward, so that when the second rolling component is at its highest point, the top of the second rolling component is higher than the top of the support plate. This allows the second rolling component to lift the metal plate off the support plate. Combined with the rolling action of the second rolling component, the position of the metal plate in the direction perpendicular to the length of the support plate can be adjusted. In addition, the metal plate that has just been transferred to the support plate can be transported to the working area of ​​the laser head.

[0019] Preferably, the first moving component and the second moving component are provided between each two adjacent support plates, and the first moving component and the second moving component between two adjacent support plates are arranged at a cross interval.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, this setting enables the position of the metal plate to be adjusted throughout the entire support plate area, and the actions of the first moving component and the second moving component do not interfere with each other.

[0021] Preferably, each group of the first and second moving components is individually controlled and connected to the console.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the control console can individually control each group of first and second moving components, so that the metal plate can be rotated to adjust the orientation of the metal plate. For example, one or more groups of first moving components move one end of the metal plate while the other end of the metal plate does not move, so that the metal plate rotates by an angle.

[0023] Preferably, all of the support plates can be detachably connected to the support base.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, this setup allows the support plate to be replaced and adjusted, avoiding the problem of replacing the entire support assembly due to a local fault.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By setting up a feeding mechanism, a cutting mechanism, an adjusting mechanism, a sensing module, and a control console, when it is necessary to cut metal sheets, the feeding mechanism feeds the metal sheets into the cutting mechanism. After the metal sheets enter the cutting mechanism, the sensing module first senses the position of the metal sheets and feeds the position information back to the control console. The control console controls the adjusting mechanism to adjust the position of the metal sheets so that the cutting mechanism can cut the metal sheets more accurately. At the same time, the control console can better plan the cutting path, which helps to reduce waste in the cutting process. The entire cutting process does not require manual adjustment, has a high degree of automation, and is simple and convenient to operate.

[0026] 2. By setting a support base and several support plates, with the upper ends of the support plates all being serrated, and the support plates being vertically spaced and arranged side by side, the metal sheet is supported. This facilitates the removal of debris and other impurities generated during the cutting operation from the support plates, thereby avoiding interference with subsequent cutting operations. The serrated upper ends of the support plates reduce the contact area between the support plates and the metal sheet, and the serrated structure can also avoid the laser beam, allowing the laser head to perform a more thorough cutting action on the metal sheet.

[0027] 3. By setting up a first moving component and a second moving component, when the feeding mechanism conveys the metal sheet to the support component, the second moving component first drives the metal sheet to move in a direction perpendicular to the length of the support plate, so that the metal sheet is transferred to the cutting processing range of the laser head. Then, the sensing module senses and feeds back the position information of the metal sheet. The first moving component and the second moving component cooperate to adjust the position of the metal sheet. No manual adjustment is required, which is convenient and quick.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0034] This application discloses a cutting device for metal sheets, referring to... Figure 1 The system includes a feeding mechanism 1, a cutting mechanism 2, an adjusting mechanism 3, a sensing module, and a control console 4. The feeding mechanism 1 feeds metal sheets into the cutting mechanism 2. Both the sensing module and the adjusting mechanism 3 are electrically connected to the control console 4. The sensing module senses the position of the metal sheet in the cutting mechanism 2 and feeds the position information back to the control console 4. The control console 4 is located on one side of the cutting mechanism 2 and controls the adjusting mechanism 3 to adjust the position of the metal sheet, so that the cutting mechanism 2 can cut the metal sheet more accurately. At the same time, the control console 4 can better plan the cutting path, which helps to reduce material waste in the cutting process. The entire cutting process does not require manual adjustment, has a high degree of automation, and is simple and convenient to operate. In this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 1 uses a robotic arm in conjunction with grippers or ropes to feed and transfer the metal sheet.

[0035] ReferenceFigure 1 and Figure 2 The cutting mechanism 2 includes a support component 21 and a movable laser head 22. The support component 21 is used to support the metal sheet transferred from the feeding mechanism 1. The laser head 22 automatically cuts the metal sheet on the support component 21. The laser head 22 is driven by the X-axis linear drive module, the Y-axis linear drive module and the Z-axis linear drive module. This is the conventional setting of laser cutting equipment and will not be described in detail here.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The support assembly 21 includes a support base 211 and several support plates 212. The support plates 212 are vertically spaced and arranged side-by-side on the support base 211, with their upper ends flush to provide flat support for the metal sheet. Debris and other impurities generated by the laser head 22 during cutting can fall through the gaps between the support plates 212, thus avoiding interference with subsequent metal sheet cutting operations. Notably, the upper ends of the support plates 212 are serrated to reduce the contact area between the support plates 212 and the metal sheet. The serrated structure also helps to deflect the laser beam, facilitating a more thorough cutting action by the laser head 22. Furthermore, the bottoms of the support plates 212 are detachably connected to the support base 211. The detachable connection between the support plates 212 and the support base 211 can be achieved using bolts or snap-fit ​​methods, which are not limited here.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The adjustment mechanism 3 is located within the support assembly 21. When no adjustment is required, the adjustment mechanism 3 is hidden at the bottom of the support plate 212. Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first moving assembly 31 and a second moving assembly 32. The first moving assembly 31 is positioned between several support plates 212 to drive the metal plate to move along the length of the support plate 212. The second moving assembly 32 is positioned between several support plates 212 to drive the metal plate to move in a direction perpendicular to the length of the support plate 212. Both the first moving assembly 31 and the second moving assembly 32 are electrically connected to the control console 4 to achieve automatic control and rapid response.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4The first moving component 31 includes a first lifting member 311 and a first rolling member 312. The first lifting member 311 is disposed between two adjacent support plates 212 to drive the first rolling member 312 to move vertically up and down. The rolling direction of the first rolling member 312 is set along the length direction of the support plate 212. In this embodiment, the first lifting member 311 is driven by a lifting cylinder, and the first rolling member 312 is driven by a roller. When the first rolling member 312 is at its highest point, the top of the first rolling member 312 is higher than the top of the support plate 212 to lift the metal plate on the support plate 212. When the first rolling member 312 is at its lowest point, the top of the first rolling member 312 is lower than the top of the support plate 212 to avoid the first moving component 31 interfering with the support of the support plate 212. Both the first lifting member 311 and the first rolling member 312 are electrically connected to the control console 4.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 The second moving component 32 includes a second lifting member 321 and a second rolling member 322. The second lifting member 321 is disposed between two adjacent support plates 212 to drive the second rolling member 322 to move vertically up and down. The rolling direction of the second rolling member 322 is perpendicular to the length direction of the support plate 212. Similar to the first lifting member 311 and the first rolling member 312, the second lifting member 321 is also driven by a lifting cylinder, and the second rolling member 322 is also driven by a roller. When the second rolling member 322 is at its highest point, its top is higher than the top of the support plate 212 to lift the metal plate on the support plate 212. When the second rolling member 322 is at its lowest point, its top is lower than the top of the support plate 212 to avoid the second moving component 32 interfering with the support of the support plate 212. Both the second lifting member 321 and the second rolling member 322 are electrically connected to the control console 4. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to adjusting the position of the metal sheet along the length direction perpendicular to the support plate 212, the second moving component 32 can also transport the metal sheet that has just been transferred from the feeding mechanism 1 to the working range of the laser head 22.

[0040] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4Each pair of adjacent support plates 212 is provided with a first moving component 31 and a second moving component 32. The first moving components 31 and the second moving components 32 between adjacent support plates 212 are arranged at a cross interval, so that the position of the metal plate can be adjusted throughout the entire support plate 212 area, and the movements of the first moving components 31 and the second moving components 32 do not interfere with each other. In addition, each set of first moving components 31 and second moving components 32 is individually controlled and connected to the control console 4. The control console 4 can individually control each set of first moving components 31 and second moving components 32, so that the metal plate can be rotated to adjust the orientation of the metal plate. For example, one or more sets of first moving components 31 can move one end of the metal plate while the other end of the metal plate remains stationary, thereby rotating the metal plate by an angle.

[0041] The implementation principle of a metal sheet cutting device according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When a metal sheet needs to be cut, the feeding mechanism 1 feeds the metal sheet into the cutting mechanism 2. The support plate 212 in the cutting mechanism 2 provides horizontal support for the metal sheet. Then, the second lifting member 321 lifts the second rolling member 322 to lift the metal sheet. The second rolling member 322 rolls to transport the metal sheet to the working range of the laser head 22. The position of the metal sheet is sensed by the sensing module and fed back to the control console 4. The first lifting member 311 lifts the first rolling member 312 and rolls, and the second lifting member 321 lifts the second rolling member 322 and rolls to adjust the position and orientation of the metal sheet, so that the laser head 22 can cut the metal sheet more accurately. At the same time, the control console 4 can better plan the cutting path, which helps to reduce waste in the cutting process. The entire cutting process does not require manual adjustment, has a high degree of automation, and is simple and convenient to operate.

[0042] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
