Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of laser cutting technology, and in particular to a laser cutting device for metal cutting. Background Technology
[0002] Laser cutting uses an optical system to focus a laser beam generated by a laser into a high-power-density spot, which is then applied to the surface of the workpiece. This causes the material to melt, vaporize, or reach its ignition point rapidly. Simultaneously, a high-speed airflow coaxial with the laser beam blows away the molten material, thus achieving the cutting process. During cutting, the workpiece needs to be placed on a toothed plate.
[0003] Currently, Chinese invention patent application CN118808932B, published on February 7, 2025, discloses a sheet metal laser cutting machine, which includes the following structure: a machine tool frame, a gantry mounted on the outside of the machine tool frame, and a laser mounted on the gantry; two crossbars rotatably mounted on both sides of the machine tool frame, with several toothed plates fixedly mounted on the two crossbars; and two sets of adjustment seats, which are respectively distributed on both sides of the machine tool frame. Each set of adjustment seats consists of several adjustment seats, and a limiting rod that abuts against the toothed plates is fixed between the several adjustment seats. A transmission unit is mounted on the several adjustment seats.
[0004] After the board is cut, a lifting mechanism moves several adjusting seats upward to lift the cut waste board. At the same time, personnel place the new board onto the transmission unit. The transmission unit then drives the waste board away and the new board is transported to the cutting area. The board is then lowered and placed onto the toothed plate for easy laser cutting.
[0005] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, if the cutting point is located at the upper plane of the toothed plate during cutting, the laser may damage the plane of the toothed plate, and molten material may also remain on the plane of the toothed plate, causing its surface to be uneven, which may cause subsequent workpieces to tilt slightly and affect the cutting quality. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This application provides a laser cutting device for metal cutting, wherein the toothed plate moves downward first and then horizontally, so that its upper surface is away from the cutting area, thereby avoiding potential damage to the surface of the toothed plate by the laser and preventing molten material from remaining on the surface of the toothed plate, thus improving the cutting quality.
[0007] A laser cutting device for metal cutting, comprising: Worktable, gantry frame, longitudinal moving mechanism, laser cutter, transverse moving mechanism, several clamping components, several supporting components, and adjusting components; The support assembly includes a toothed plate, and the worktable is provided with a plurality of slots, into which the toothed plate is inserted; The gantry frame is mounted on the worktable via the longitudinal moving mechanism, and the laser cutter is mounted on the gantry frame via the transverse moving mechanism; The adjustment assembly includes a first telescopic rod, a power block, and movable protrusions in numbers twice that of the toothed plates. The first telescopic rod is disposed on one side of the gantry frame, the power block is disposed at the free end of the first telescopic rod, and the movable protrusions are disposed at the end of the toothed plates. The power block is provided with a first pushing surface and a pushing and holding surface, and the pushing and holding surface is directly opposite the laser head of the laser cutter.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the metal sheet is placed on the toothed plate, contacting the upper plane of the toothed plate. The longitudinal movement mechanism is controlled to move the gantry, lateral movement mechanism, laser cutter, and adjustment components backwards from the worktable. The longitudinal movement mechanism is also controlled to move the laser cutter to a designated position, controlling its operation and movement to achieve laser cutting of the metal sheet in a direction perpendicular to the toothed plate. When the cutting point is at the upper plane of the toothed plate, the first telescopic rod is fully extended, driving the power block to move. After the first pushing surface contacts one side of the moving protrusion, it drives that side of the moving protrusion to move. This side of the moving protrusion drives the toothed plate to move along the slot, and the toothed plate drives the other side of the moving protrusion to move, moving the upper plane of the toothed plate away from the cutting area. Then, the pushing and holding surface contacts the side of the moving protrusion. The longitudinal moving mechanism enables the gantry, laser cutter, and adjusting components to move in a direction perpendicular to the toothed plate, facilitating the laser cutter to cut metal sheets in a direction perpendicular to the toothed plate. It also ensures that the adjusting components are positioned to match the toothed plate. When the cutting point is on the upper surface of the toothed plate, the first telescopic rod operates, pushing the toothed plate to move. This prevents the laser from damaging the plane of the toothed plate, and also prevents molten material from remaining on the plane of the toothed plate. This protects the toothed plate from unevenness and ensures cutting quality.
[0009] Optionally, the adjustment assembly further includes a second telescopic rod and a reset block. The second telescopic rod is disposed on the gantry frame, and the reset block is disposed at the free end of the second telescopic rod, facing the power block. The reset block is provided with a first recovery surface and a recovery holding surface.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the second telescopic rod extends fully simultaneously with the first telescopic rod. While pushing the retaining surface to contact one side of the moving protrusion, it simultaneously restores the retaining surface to contact the other side of the moving protrusion. Simultaneously, it pushes the retaining surface out of contact with one side of the moving protrusion and restores it to contact the other side of the moving protrusion. The first restored surface then contacts the other side of the moving protrusion, causing it to move and thus resetting the toothed plate. This repositions it for subsequent cutting operations. The entire process achieves dynamic avoidance and automatic resetting of the toothed plate during continuous cutting, protecting the toothed plate and ensuring the consistency and efficiency of the cutting process.
[0011] Optionally, the power block is further provided with a second pushing surface, and the reset block is further provided with a second restoring surface, wherein the first pushing surface and the second restoring surface are symmetrically arranged, and the second pushing surface and the first restoring surface are symmetrically arranged.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the laser cutter moves in the reverse direction and the cutting point is at the upper plane of the toothed plate, the first and second telescopic rods are fully extended, driving the power block and the reset block to move. When the second pushing surface contacts one side of the moving protrusion, it drives the other side of the moving protrusion to move. The other side of the moving protrusion drives the toothed plate to move along the slot. The toothed plate drives the other side of the moving protrusion to contact and move along the first recovery surface, so that the upper plane of the toothed plate moves away from the cutting area. The second pushing surface and the first recovery surface disengage from the moving protrusion. Then, the pushing and holding surface contacts one side of the moving protrusion and moves, while the recovery and holding surface contacts one side of the moving protrusion and moves. When the pushing and holding surface and the recovery and holding surface disengage from the moving protrusion, the second recovery surface contacts and drives the other side of the moving protrusion to move, causing the toothed plate to move, so that one side of the moving protrusion contacts the first pushing surface, until the second recovery surface and the first pushing surface disengage from the moving protrusion, and the toothed plate resets. This achieves bidirectional continuous cutting by the laser cutter, improving cutting efficiency.
[0013] Optionally, the power block is further provided with a first pushing contact surface and a second pushing contact surface, and the reset block is further provided with a first reset contact surface and a second reset contact surface. The first pushing contact surface is located on the side of the first pushing surface away from the pushing holding surface, and the second pushing contact surface is located on the side of the second pushing surface away from the pushing holding surface. The first reset contact surface is located on the side of the first recovery surface away from the recovery holding surface, and the second reset contact surface is located on the side of the second recovery surface away from the recovery holding surface.
[0014] Taking the movement of the laser cutter towards the rear of the worktable as an example, the above technical solution is adopted. When the cutting point is on the upper plane of the toothed plate, the first and second telescopic rods are extended. The first pushing contact surface is pressed against one side of the moving protrusion, and the second reset contact surface is pressed against the other side of the moving protrusion. Then, when the first pushing surface contacts and drives one side of the moving protrusion to move, the other side of the moving protrusion contacts the second reset surface, realizing the movement of the toothed plate. Then, the pushing holding surface contacts one side of the moving protrusion, and the reset holding surface contacts one side of the moving protrusion, realizing the position of the toothed plate. Then, the first reset surface contacts and drives the other side of the moving protrusion to move, so that one side of the moving protrusion contacts the second pushing surface, realizing the reset of the toothed plate. Finally, the second pushing contact surface and the first reset contact surface are pressed against the moving protrusion. This avoids the moving protrusions from overshooting their initial position due to inertia during reset, which would lead to inaccurate reset of the toothed plate.
[0015] Optionally, the support assembly further includes two insert blocks and two unlocking rods. Both ends of the toothed plate are provided with horizontal slots. The worktable is provided with guide slots corresponding to each of the horizontal slots. The insert blocks are inserted into the guide slots and the horizontal slots. The unlocking rods are provided on the insert blocks. The power block and the reset block are respectively provided with a first inlet / outlet groove, a first draw slot, a retaining groove, a second draw slot, and a second inlet / outlet groove. The unlocking rod is slidably disposed in the first inlet / outlet groove, the first draw slot, the retaining groove, the second draw slot, and the second inlet / outlet groove. The power block and the reset block are respectively provided with a first contact groove, a first lifting groove, a lifting holding groove, a second lifting groove and a second contact groove; the movable protrusion is slidably disposed in the area composed of the first contact groove, the first lifting groove, the lifting holding groove, the second lifting groove and the second contact groove.
[0016] Taking the movement of the laser cutter towards the rear of the worktable as an example, the above technical solution is adopted. When the cutting point is at the upper plane of the toothed plate, the first and second telescopic rods are extended. The first pushing contact surface is pressed against one side of the moving protrusion, and the second reset contact surface is pressed against the other side of the moving protrusion. At the same time, the unlocking rod first enters the first inlet / outlet slot, and the moving protrusion enters the first contact slot. Then, the unlocking rod enters the first draw slot, driving the unlocking rod to move away from the toothed plate. The unlocking rod drives the insert block to move along the horizontal slot and the guide slot. After the unlocking rod enters the retaining slot, the insert block disengages from the horizontal slot and stays in the guide slot. Then, the moving protrusion enters the first lifting slot, which forces the moving protrusion to move downward. The moving protrusion drives the toothed plate to move downward. The lifting hemisphere moves to the middle position of the first lifting slot, and the first pushing surface contacts and drives one side of the moving protrusion to move, so that the other side of the moving protrusion contacts the second reset surface, realizing the movement of the toothed plate. When the middle position of the first pushing surface contacts one side of the moving protrusion, the moving protrusion enters the lifting retaining slot, realizing the height maintenance of the toothed plate. Then, the moving protrusion on the side of the retaining surface is pushed and restored to its original position; simultaneously, the position of the toothed plate is maintained. Then, the first restored surface contact moves the moving protrusion on the other side, causing it to contact the second pushing surface, thus resetting the toothed plate. When the middle position of the second pushing surface contacts the moving protrusion on one side, the moving protrusion enters the second lifting groove, forcing it to move upwards. The moving protrusion moves to the middle position of the second lifting groove, with the second pushing contact surface and the first reset contact surface tightly against it. Then, the moving protrusion enters the second contact groove, resetting the toothed plate. Then, the unlocking rod enters the second slot, moving it closer to the toothed plate, resetting the insert. Then, the unlocking rod enters the second inlet / outlet groove. The moving protrusion disengages from the first pushing contact surface and the second reset contact surface, tightly contacting the moving protrusion on the other side. Simultaneously, the unlocking rod disengages from the second inlet / outlet groove, and the moving protrusion disengages from the second contact groove.
[0017] When the cutting point is at the upper plane of the toothed plate, the movement of related components is controlled, causing the toothed plate to move downwards first, and then away from the cutting point, resetting after cutting. This avoids the toothed plate moving directly along the surface of the metal sheet, and also prevents contact with thin metallic patterns on some metal sheets, thus avoiding damage to the metal surface and improving cutting quality. The entire process achieves dynamic avoidance and automatic resetting of the toothed plate during continuous cutting, protecting the toothed plate and ensuring the consistency and efficiency of the cutting process.
[0018] Optionally, the adjustment assembly further includes a lifting hemisphere twice the number of the movable protrusions, the lifting hemisphere being disposed at the end of the movable protrusion; the lifting hemisphere is slidably disposed within the area composed of the first contact groove, the first lifting groove, the lifting holding groove, the second lifting groove and the second contact groove, and the width of the horizontal slot is greater than the thickness of the insert.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the lifting hemisphere is slightly lifted upon entering the first contact groove. The lifting hemisphere moves along the area composed of the first contact groove, the first lifting groove, the lifting holding groove, the second lifting groove, and the second contact groove, driving the moving protrusion and the toothed plate to move along the height direction. After the lifting hemisphere is slightly lifted, the toothed plate rises slightly and disengages from the insert block, making it easier to remove the insert block.
[0020] Optionally, the support assembly further includes two compression springs, one end of which is connected to the worktable and the other end of which is connected to the insert block.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the compression spring can provide continuous elastic pressure to the insert, ensuring stable contact and positioning during operation. When subjected to external vibration or positional changes, the compression spring can buffer the impact through its own deformation, preventing the insert from dislodging from the horizontal slot.
[0022] Optionally, the ends of the first inlet / outlet slot and the second inlet / outlet slot are rounded.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the arc transition structure at the inlet of the slot can guide the introduction of the unlocking rod, making it smoother and more accurate when entering or leaving the slot, thereby reducing the risk of interference and jamming during the positioning process.
[0024] Optionally, the longitudinal moving mechanism includes a longitudinal rack and a longitudinal drive gear. The longitudinal rack is disposed on the worktable, the gear of the longitudinal drive gear meshes with the longitudinal rack, the longitudinal drive gear is disposed on the gantry frame, and the gantry frame is slidably disposed on the worktable.
[0025] Optionally, the device may also include several clamping components, including a positioning block, a clamping telescopic rod, and a clamping block. The positioning block is disposed on the worktable, the clamping telescopic rod is disposed on the positioning block, and the clamping block is disposed at the free end of the clamping telescopic rod.
[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, when the metal plate is placed on the toothed plate, one side of it contacts the positioning block, and the clamping telescopic rod is controlled to retract, so that the clamping block and the toothed plate clamp the metal plate. This achieves the positioning and clamping of the metal plate, creating convenient conditions for subsequent high-precision and high-efficiency cutting operations, while also helping to improve cutting quality and operational safety.
[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The toothed plate of this invention can move along its length and height. When the cutting point is on the upper plane of the toothed plate, the movement of related components is controlled, causing the toothed plate to move downwards first, and then away from the cutting point, resetting after cutting. This avoids direct movement along the surface of the metal plate, and since some metal plates have thin metallic patterns, it avoids contact with these patterns, preventing damage to the metal plate surface and improving cutting quality. The entire process achieves dynamic avoidance and automatic resetting of the toothed plate during continuous cutting, protecting the toothed plate and ensuring the consistency and efficiency of the cutting process.
[0028] 2. This invention centrally integrates the pushing and holding surfaces that drive the toothed plate along its length, the contact groove, lifting groove, and holding groove that move along its height, and the entry / exit groove, extraction groove, and holding groove that enable the movement of the insertion block, all located on the power block and reset block. This achieves a high degree of structural integration and functional optimization. It not only simplifies the overall layout of the transmission mechanism and reduces assembly complexity but also significantly improves the stability and reliability of motion transmission, thus enhancing the overall performance of the device.

The adjustable feet 900 are installed at the bottom of the worktable 100, the gantry frame 200 is mounted on the worktable 100 via the longitudinal moving mechanism 300, and the laser cutter 400 is mounted on the gantry frame 200 via the transverse moving mechanism 600. The clamping components 500 are installed on one side of the worktable 100, the supporting components 700 are mounted on the worktable 100, and the adjusting components 800 are mounted on the gantry frame 200. By providing adjustable feet 900, the height and level of the worktable 100 can be flexibly adjusted during use to adapt to different ground conditions or usage requirements. The support component 700 supports the metal sheet, and the clamping component 500 positions and fixes the metal sheet. The longitudinal moving mechanism 300 moves the gantry 200, laser cutter 400, and adjusting component 800 along the length of the worktable 100, allowing the laser cutter 400 to cut the metal sheet along its length. The transverse moving mechanism 600 moves the laser cutter 400 along the width of the worktable 100, allowing it to cut the metal sheet along its width. When the cutting point is at the upper plane of the toothed plate 710, the adjusting component 800 operates, causing the upper plane of the toothed plate 710 to detach from the cutting area. This prevents potential damage to the plane of the toothed plate by the laser and avoids molten material remaining on the plane of the toothed plate, thus improving cutting quality.

[0038] refer to Figures 8 to 10Taking the movement of the laser cutter 400 towards the rear of the worktable as an example, when the cutting point is at the upper plane of the toothed plate, the first telescopic rod 810 and the second telescopic rod 830 are extended. The first pushing contact surface 821 is in close contact with one side of the moving protrusion 870, and the second reset contact surface 845 is in close contact with the other side of the moving protrusion 870. At the same time, the unlocking rod 730 first enters the first inlet / outlet slot 851, and at the same time, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the first contact slot 861. After the lifting hemisphere 880 is slightly lifted, the unlocking rod 730 enters the first draw-out slot 852, driving the unlocking rod 730 to move away from the toothed plate 710. The unlocking rod 730 drives the insert block 720 to move along the horizontal slot 711 and the guide slot 112. After the unlocking rod 730 enters the holding slot 853, the insert block 720 disengages from the horizontal slot 711 and stays in the guide slot 112. Then, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the first lifting groove 862, which forces the lifting hemisphere 880 to move downwards. The lifting hemisphere 880 drives the moving protrusion 870 to move downwards, which in turn drives the toothed plate 710 to move downwards. When the lifting hemisphere 880 reaches the middle position of the first lifting groove 862, the first pushing surface 822 contacts and drives one side of the moving protrusion 870 to move, causing the other side of the moving protrusion 870 to contact the second restoring surface 844, thus moving the toothed plate 710. When the middle position of the first pushing surface 822 contacts one side of the moving protrusion 870, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the lifting holding groove 863, thus maintaining the height of the toothed plate 710. Then, the pushing holding surface 823 contacts one side of the moving protrusion 870, and the restoring holding surface 843 contacts one side of the moving protrusion 870; simultaneously, the position of the toothed plate 710 is maintained. Then, the first recovery surface 842 contacts and drives the other side moving protrusion 870 to move, causing the one side moving protrusion 870 to contact the second pushing surface 824, thus resetting the toothed plate 710. When the middle position of the second pushing surface 824 contacts the one side moving protrusion 870, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the second lifting groove 864, forcing the lifting hemisphere 880 to move upward. The lifting hemisphere 880 moves to the middle position of the second lifting groove 864, and the second pushing contact surface 825 and the first recovery contact surface 841 are in close contact with the moving protrusion 870. Then, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the second contact groove 865, thus resetting the toothed plate 710. Then, the unlocking rod 730 enters the second draw slot 854, driving the unlocking rod 730 to move closer to the toothed plate 710, thus resetting the insert block 720. Then, the unlocking rod 730 enters the second inlet / outlet groove 855. The movable protrusion 870 disengages from the first pushing contact surface and the second reset contact surface 845 and comes into close contact with the other movable protrusion 870. At the same time, the unlocking lever 730 disengages from the second inlet / outlet groove 855, and at the same time, the lifting hemisphere 880 disengages from the second contact groove 865.
[0039] When the cutting point is at the upper plane of the toothed plate, the movement of related components is controlled, causing the toothed plate 710 to move downwards first, and then away from the cutting point, resetting after cutting. This avoids the toothed plate 710 moving directly along the surface of the metal plate, and since some metal plates have thin metal patterns, it avoids contact with these patterns, preventing damage to the metal plate surface and improving cutting quality. The entire process achieves dynamic avoidance and automatic resetting of the toothed plate 710 during bidirectional continuous cutting, protecting the toothed plate 710 and ensuring the consistency and efficiency of the cutting process. The arc transition structure at the slot inlet guides the introduction of the unlocking rod 730, making it smoother and more accurate when entering or exiting the slot, thereby reducing the risk of interference and jamming during positioning. The compression spring 740 provides continuous elastic pressure to the insert block 720, maintaining stable contact and positioning during operation. After the lifting hemisphere 880 is slightly lifted, the toothed plate 710 rises slightly and disengages from the insert block 720, making it easier to pull out the insert block 720.
[0040] refer to Figure 2 The clamping assembly 500 includes a positioning block 510, a clamping telescopic rod 520, and a clamping block 530. The positioning block 510 is mounted on one side of the positioning plate 110, and the clamping telescopic rod 520 is mounted on the positioning block 510. The clamping telescopic rod 520 is a cylinder, and the clamping block 530 is mounted on the free end of the clamping telescopic rod 520. When the metal sheet is placed, one side contacts the positioning block 510. By controlling the retraction of the clamping telescopic rod 520, the clamping block 530 is fixed to the toothed plate 710 to secure the metal sheet, facilitating subsequent cutting.
[0041] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When placing the metal sheet, one side contacts the positioning block 510. By controlling the retraction of the clamping telescopic rod 520, the clamping block 530 and the toothed plate 710 are fixed to the metal sheet.
[0042] Let's take the movement of the laser cutter 400 towards the rear of the worktable as an example: When the longitudinal drive gear 320 is working, its gear meshes with the longitudinal rack 310, driving the longitudinal drive gear 320 to move, thereby moving the gantry 200. The gantry 200 then drives the transverse moving mechanism 600, the laser cutter 400, and the adjusting assembly 800 to move, facilitating the longitudinal cutting of metal sheets by the laser cutter 400. When the transverse drive gear 620 is working, its gear meshes with the transverse rack 610, driving the transverse drive gear 620 to move, thereby facilitating the transverse cutting of metal sheets by the laser cutter 400.
[0043] During longitudinal cutting, when the cutting point is on the upper plane of the toothed plate 710, the first telescopic rod 810 and the second telescopic rod 830 are extended. The first pushing contact surface 821 is in close contact with one side of the moving protrusion 870, and the second resetting contact surface 845 is in close contact with the other side of the moving protrusion 870. At the same time, the unlocking rod 730 first enters the first inlet / outlet slot 851, and at the same time, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the first contact slot 861. Then, the unlocking rod 730 enters the first draw slot 852, driving the unlocking rod 730 to move away from the toothed plate 710. The unlocking rod 730 drives the insert block 720 to move along the horizontal slot 711 and the guide slot 112. After the unlocking rod 730 enters the retaining slot 853, the insert block 720 disengages from the horizontal slot 711 and stays in the guide slot 112. Then, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the first lifting groove 862, which forces the lifting hemisphere 880 to move downwards. The lifting hemisphere 880 drives the moving protrusion 870 to move downwards, which in turn drives the toothed plate 710 to move downwards. When the lifting hemisphere 880 reaches the middle position of the first lifting groove 862, the first pushing surface 822 contacts and drives one side of the moving protrusion 870 to move, causing the other side of the moving protrusion 870 to contact the second restoring surface 844, thus moving the toothed plate 710. When the middle position of the first pushing surface 822 contacts one side of the moving protrusion 870, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the lifting holding groove 863, thus maintaining the height of the toothed plate 710. Then, the pushing holding surface 823 contacts one side of the moving protrusion 870, and the restoring holding surface 843 contacts one side of the moving protrusion 870; simultaneously, the position of the toothed plate 710 is maintained. Then, the first recovery surface 842 contacts and drives the other side moving protrusion 870 to move, causing the one side moving protrusion 870 to contact the second pushing surface 824, thus resetting the toothed plate 710. When the middle position of the second pushing surface 824 contacts the one side moving protrusion 870, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the second lifting groove 864, forcing the lifting hemisphere 880 to move upward. The lifting hemisphere 880 moves to the middle position of the second lifting groove 864, and the second pushing contact surface 825 and the first recovery contact surface 841 are in close contact with the moving protrusion 870. Then, the lifting hemisphere 880 enters the second contact groove 865, thus resetting the toothed plate 710. Then, the unlocking rod 730 enters the second draw slot 854, driving the unlocking rod 730 to move closer to the toothed plate 710, thus resetting the insert block 720. Then, the unlocking rod 730 enters the second inlet / outlet groove 855. The movable protrusion 870 disengages from the first pushing contact surface and the second reset contact surface 845 and comes into close contact with the other movable protrusion 870. At the same time, the unlocking lever 730 disengages from the second inlet / outlet groove 855, and at the same time, the lifting hemisphere 880 disengages from the second contact groove 865.
