Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of laser cutting equipment, in particular to a laser cutting equipment capable of automatically fixing workpieces. BACKGROUND

[0002] Three-dimensional five-axis laser cutting technology is an advanced process developed for the high-precision machining requirements of large complex structural parts, such as H-shaped steel, curved sheet metal, etc. Traditional manipulators are limited by machining width and trajectory accuracy, making it difficult to meet the cutting requirements of large-size three-dimensional parts. This technology controls the spatial movement of the laser beam through five-axis linkage, combines with the non-contact processing of high-energy density laser to realize cutting, punching and other operations of complex curved surfaces. The core modules include laser generator, double-swing cutting head, multi-axis motion mechanism and intelligent control system, with functions such as real-time focusing, anti-collision, adaptive parameter adjustment, etc. Compared with the traditional multi-process machining mode, three-dimensional five-axis laser cutting can greatly simplify the process and improve efficiency. At the same time, through RTCP compensation, offline programming and other technologies, high precision and flexible production are ensured, and it is widely used in the fields of automobiles, engineering machinery, steel structures, etc.

[0003] When the existing laser cutting equipment cuts H-shaped steel, a large amount of slag is generated on the outside of the sawtooth gear strip due to cutting. The large amount of slag adheres to the outside of the sawtooth gear strip due to high temperature. The adhered slag changes the actual contact surface of the sawtooth gear strip and the H-shaped steel, causing the placement position of the next H-shaped steel to deviate, resulting in cutting trajectory deviation, causing size error or bevel angle deviation. High-temperature slag accumulation interferes with the focusing of the laser beam, weakening the cutting energy, resulting in uneven or incomplete cutting. High-temperature slag adhesion accelerates the oxidation and wear of the surface of the sawtooth gear strip, causing metal fatigue or deformation. When manually cleaning, contact with high-temperature residues or sharp waste can easily cause burns or scratches. The mixed slag and cutting waste increase the difficulty of sorting and affect the metal recovery efficiency. SUMMARY

[0023] The laser cutting machine 1 is internally provided with an inclined material guiding box 17, the inner part of the inclined material guiding box 17 is provided with a filter screen one 18, the filter screen one 18 is used to block the waste and molten slag generated during the cutting of the H-shaped steel 24, the inner part of the inclined material guiding box 17 is provided with a filter screen two 19, the filter screen two 19 is used to further block the molten slag, the inner part of the inclined material guiding box 17 is provided with a water suction pipe 22, one end surface of the water suction pipe 22 is provided with a water pump 21, the outer surface of the water pump 21 is provided with a water outlet pipe 23, a plurality of water pipes one 9 are uniformly arranged on the outer surface of the water outlet pipe 23, two water pipes two 20 are arranged on the outer surface of the water outlet pipe 23, and a water pipe three 25 is arranged on the outer surface of the two water pipes two 20, the outer surface of the plurality of water pipes one 9 is in movable contact with the inner wall of the through groove 8, a plurality of water flow holes 26 are uniformly arranged on the outer surface of the plurality of water pipes one 9, an adjusting block 12 is arranged on the inner wall of each water flow hole 26, a lifting groove 13 is formed in the inner part of the adjusting block 12, a plurality of springs 14 are uniformly arranged on the inner wall of the lifting groove 13, a pressing block 15 is movably arranged on the inner wall of the lifting groove 13, an arc surface 16 is arranged on one end surface of the pressing block 15, and the bottom end surface of the pressing block 15 is fixedly connected with the top end surface of the spring 14, and water spray holes are uniformly arranged on the two water pipes two 20 and the water pipe three 25, so that the falling molten slag and the cut-off materials are moved together with the slope of the inclined material guiding box 17, so that the falling molten slag and the cut-off materials are moved to the filter screen one 18, part of the small molten slag is separated by the filter screen two 19 with smaller grid gap through the filter screen one 18, so as to facilitate the cleaning and collection of the falling molten slag and the cut-off materials by the workers.

[0024] The laser cutting machine 1 has a gantry frame 2 installed inside, and a five-axis turntable 3 installed inside the gantry frame 2. A laser head 4 is installed on the outer surface of the output end of the five-axis turntable 3. The laser cutting machine 1 moves the five-axis turntable 3 and the laser head 4 through the gantry frame 2. During the cutting process of the H-beam 24 by the laser head 4, the flange of the H-beam is physically limited by the saw tooth structure of the saw gear rack 7 to avoid displacement caused by vibration or thermal stress. The weight of the long H-beam 24 is evenly distributed by multiple saw gear racks 7, reducing the risk of concentrated deformation of the plate support. The gap between several saw gear racks 7 serves as a natural slag discharge channel, and the molten slag falls directly into the inclined guide box 17.

[0025] The specific workflow of this invention is as follows: When it is necessary to cut a long H-beam 24, the H-beam 24 is placed on the plane of several saw gear racks 7. The tooth peak spacing of the saw gear racks 7 is precisely matched with the width of the lower flange of the H-beam 24. Self-positioning is achieved through clamping, eliminating the need for manual calibration. Furthermore, the laser cutting machine 1 moves the five-axis turntable 3 and the laser head 4 via the gantry 2. The five-axis turntable 3 is the core motion module of the three-dimensional five-axis laser cutting machine 1. Through the linkage of two rotary axes with the three linear axes of the gantry 2, the laser head can be precisely positioned at any angle in space. Through five-axis linkage, The laser head 4 can cut into any position of the workpiece vertically or at an angle, directly completing the processing of complex features such as bevels, intersection lines, and irregular holes of the H-beam 24, avoiding the cumulative errors of traditional multi-process cutting. During the cutting process of the H-beam 24 by the laser head 4, the flange of the H-beam is physically limited by the saw tooth structure of the saw gear rack 7, avoiding displacement caused by vibration or thermal stress. Moreover, the weight of the long H-beam 24 is evenly distributed by multiple saw gear racks 7, reducing the risk of concentrated deformation of the plate support. The gap between several saw gear racks 7 serves as a natural slag discharge channel, and the molten slag falls directly into the inclined guide box 17.

[0026] During the cutting process of the laser head 4, the water pump 21 is controlled by the controller to work. The water pump 21 draws water from the inclined guide box 17 through the suction pipe 22, and then supplies water to several water pipes 9, two water pipes 20 and three water pipes 25 through the water outlet pipe 23. The saw gear 7 has a through groove 8 inside. The saw gear 7 is made of several small pieces welded together, which facilitates the opening of the through groove 8. When water pipe 9 is inserted into the through groove 8, the arc surface 16 of the pressing block 15 can press the water pipe 9 forward. When the pressing block 15 drives the spring 14 to move downward in the lifting groove 13, when the water pipe 9 is fully inserted into the through groove 8, the water pipe 9 is moved outward and pulled out, and then the spring... Under the action of 14, the outer surface of the extrusion block 15 is brought into contact with the inner wall of the cooling tank 10, thereby aligning the water flow hole 26 with the cooling tank 10. This allows water to flow through the cooling tank 10 to the flow channels 27 on both sides, and then through the conical guide block 11, the outer side of the saw gear 7 is fully covered with a water film. The water film continuously covers the surface of the saw gear 7, immediately washing away the high-temperature molten slag and preventing the residue from hardening and adhering after cooling. This ensures that the contact surface is clean during each cut, and that molten slag does not accumulate. There is no need to stop the machine for cleaning, and the H-beam can be placed directly for the next cut, improving production efficiency. Molten slag adhesion can lead to poor contact between the saw gear 7 and the steel. The water film protection ensures a stable cutting trajectory and avoids dimensional deviations caused by molten slag interference.

[0027] When it is necessary to remove the water pipe 9 inside the saw gear rack 7, the water pipe 9 moves forward. Under the action of the arc surface 16, the extrusion block 15 moves into the lifting groove 13. The water pipe 9 is rotated 180 degrees, so that when the water pipe 9 is pulled out, the extrusion block 15 is always in the lifting groove 13. By ensuring that each water outlet 26 is completely aligned with the cooling groove 10, leakage-free directional flow is achieved, avoiding water scattering or pressure loss. The water flows evenly over the surface of the saw gear rack 7 through the matching cooling groove 10, flow channel 27 and conical guide block 11, instantly cooling the high temperature area, completely blocking slag adhesion, and ensuring a clean cutting surface. The extrusion block 15 driven by the spring 14 is precisely reset in the lifting groove 13, so that the water outlet 26 and the cooling groove 10 always maintain dynamic alignment.

[0028] Furthermore, the falling slag and cutting material fall into the inclined guide box 17 through the gaps between several saw gears 7. Water spray holes are evenly distributed on the two water pipes 20 and 25, so that the falling slag and cutting material move in accordance with the inclination of the inclined guide box 17, thereby moving the falling slag and cutting material onto the filter screen 18. Some of the fine slag is separated by the filter screen 2 19 with smaller mesh gaps through the filter screen 18, thus making it convenient for the staff to clean up and collect the falling slag and cutting material.
