Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of sheet metal processing equipment, specifically relating to a cutting device for sheet metal materials, which is particularly suitable for the precise cutting of sheet metal of different thicknesses. It can flexibly switch the air supply mode and cutting parameters according to the sheet metal thickness, adapting to the sheet metal processing needs of multiple scenarios. Background Technology
[0002] In the sheet metal processing industry, laser cutting is widely used in the processing and production of various sheet metal components due to its advantages such as high cutting precision, high efficiency, and smooth cut edges. Currently, most existing laser cutting devices use a single laser head and a single gas supply method for cutting, which makes it difficult to adapt to the cutting needs of sheet metal of different thicknesses and presents many limitations.
[0003] For cutting thin sheet metal (thickness less than 3mm), inert gas is required to isolate oxygen and prevent oxidation of the cut. At the same time, the gas supply pressure and speed need to be precisely controlled. However, existing devices often cannot achieve fine adjustment of the gas supply pressure, and the nitrogen nozzle angle is fixed, resulting in poor compatibility between the jet range and the laser cutting point, which easily produces slag residue and affects the flatness of the cut. For cutting thick sheet metal (thickness greater than 3mm), oxygen-assisted combustion is required to increase the cutting energy to achieve penetrating cut. Existing devices have insufficient matching between oxygen supply pressure adjustment and cutting speed, which easily leads to problems such as insufficient combustion reaction, many burrs on the cut, and the inability to penetrate thick materials smoothly.
[0004] Furthermore, the gas path switching structure of existing devices mostly adopts simple valve control, which has poor sealing performance during the switching process and is prone to nitrogen and oxygen cross-contamination. This not only affects the cutting effect, but may also cause equipment failure due to inaccurate gas path switching. At the same time, it is difficult to adjust the cutting distance between the laser head and the sheet metal, as well as the coordinated adjustment of the gas supply parameters and the nozzle angle. It is impossible to achieve full-process adaptive adjustment according to the sheet metal thickness, which makes it difficult to balance cutting efficiency and processing quality, and thus fails to meet the needs of large-scale and diversified sheet metal processing. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cutting device for sheet metal materials, thereby solving the problem mentioned in the background art of difficulty in assisting with the cutting of sheet metal of different thicknesses.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0022] This invention offers strong adaptability, excellent cutting quality, and caters to the cutting needs of sheet metal of varying thicknesses. By employing a dual-gas-path structure with oxygen and nitrogen supply pipes, coupled with a pressure regulating valve and a solenoid valve, it achieves differentiated cutting processes: low-pressure nitrogen at high speed and medium-high pressure oxygen at a suitable speed. For thicker sheet metal, the oxygen supply pressure can be increased and the cutting speed appropriately reduced, ensuring no oxidation during thin material cutting and sufficient combustion for thick material cutting, resulting in a smooth, penetrating cut. Simultaneously, the telescopic cylinder adjusts the downward movement distance of the fixed pipe, precisely controlling the cutting distance between the laser head and the sheet metal, further enhancing cutting accuracy.
[0023] This invention offers precise and reliable gas path switching with excellent sealing performance. Utilizing a three-way pipe, vent plate, sealing plate, and a drive gear and rack transmission structure, it achieves stable switching between nitrogen and oxygen gas paths. The eccentrically positioned vent on the vent plate, in conjunction with the sealing plate, allows for precise adjustment of the ventilation volume, adapting to the gas supply needs of sheet metals of varying thicknesses. A toothed locking plate, in conjunction with a spring telescopic rod, circumferentially locks the drive gear after switching, preventing sealing plate misalignment. Simultaneously, a dual reset structure—combining an eccentric cam, a sloped extrusion plate, a torsion spring, and a spring—ensures precise sealing plate reset, effectively preventing gas path cross-contamination and enhancing the stability and reliability of gas path switching.
[0024] This invention features high-precision jetting, enhancing cutting performance: By driving the cylinder to rotate the ring, the inclined groove push plate, and the push rod, the angle of the nitrogen nozzle is adaptively adjusted. The jetting direction can be precisely aligned with the laser cutting point according to the sheet metal thickness, forming a highly efficient airflow barrier. This not only effectively removes molten slag but also effectively isolates oxygen during thin material cutting, reducing oxidation defects. Combined with three circumferentially distributed laser heads, it further improves cutting efficiency and cut smoothness. Attached Figure Description

The lower end of the air supply pipe 41 extends to the bottom of the fixed tube 4. Three laser heads 42 are installed at the bottom of the fixed tube 4. The three laser heads 42 are distributed circumferentially along the lower end of the air supply pipe 41.
[0041] The upper end of the gas supply pipe 41 is connected to a three-way pipe 49. The two ends of the three-way pipe 49 are respectively connected to an oxygen supply pipe 43 and a nitrogen supply pipe 44.

When the sheet metal thickness is less than 3mm, it is used with low-pressure nitrogen + high-speed cutting; when the sheet metal thickness is greater than 3mm, it is used with medium-high pressure oxygen + cutting speed adapted to the cutting speed. The thicker the sheet metal, the higher the oxygen supply pressure and the cutting speed is appropriately reduced to ensure that the combustion reaction between laser and oxygen is sufficient and to achieve flat penetration cutting of thick materials.
[0043] A vent plate 45 is fixedly connected to each of the two branch pipes of the three-way pipe 49. The vent of the vent plate 45 is eccentrically set.

An eccentric cam 48 is eccentrically fixedly sleeved on the bottom of the drive gear 46. The eccentric outer periphery of the eccentric cam 48 is attached to the inclined surface of the inclined extrusion plate 52, and the linear extrusion force of the inclined surface is converted into the rotational force of the drive gear, thereby driving the sealing plate to reset.
[0044] The first rack 410 is horizontally limited and slidably arranged inside the three-way pipe 49. The first rack 410 can move horizontally left and right to mesh with the drive gear 46, thereby driving the sealing disc 47 to deflect and open or seal the vent of the vent disc 45.
[0045] A transmission gear 411 is meshed on the first rack 410. The shaft of the transmission gear 411 extends to the outer wall of the three-way pipe 49 and is fixedly connected to a rotating gear 412. A second rack 413 is meshed on the rotating gear 412. A drive cylinder 414 is fixedly connected to the end of the second rack 413. The drive cylinder 414 is mounted on the top of the fixed pipe 4.
[0046] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, a drive shaft 5 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the venting disc 45 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44. A spring 51 is sleeved on the top of the side of the drive shaft 5. One end of the spring 51 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 5, and the other end is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the venting disc 45. The spring 51 is used to reset the drive shaft 5 after it has been deflected.
[0047] An inclined extrusion plate 52 is fixedly connected to the side of the drive shaft 5. The inclined extrusion plate 52 and the eccentric cam 48 are on the same horizontal plane. A drive plate 53 is fixedly sleeved at the bottom of the side of the drive shaft 5. The drive plate 53 is below the inclined extrusion plate 52, and the drive plate 53 and the inclined extrusion plate 52 are arranged in an L-shape.
[0048] A return spring telescopic rod 54 is hinged between the top of the drive plate 53 and the side of the drive shaft 5;
[0049] The bottom of the first rack 410 is fixedly connected to a rounded push plate 55 that can drive the drive plate 53 to deflect.
[0050] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, a limit frame 6 is also fixedly connected to the bottom of the ventilation plate 45 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44. A toothed clamping plate 61 is horizontally slidably arranged inside the limit frame 6. Two spring telescopic rods 64 are hinged to one end of the toothed clamping plate 61. The ends of the two spring telescopic rods 64 away from the toothed clamping plate 61 are hinged to the limit frame 6.
[0051] One end of the toothed plate 61 is horizontally engaged and locked on the side of the drive gear 46 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44; the toothed plate 61 is locked on the side of the drive gear 46 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44 through tooth engagement, thereby achieving circumferential locking of the drive gear 46.
[0052] A sloping plate 62 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the toothed plate 61. Pushing shafts 63 are located on both sides of the sloping plate 62. The pushing shafts 63 are fixedly connected to the top of the first rack 410 in a staggered manner.
[0053] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12As shown, a rotating ring 7 is rotatably connected to the top surface of the fixed pipe 4. An inclined groove plate 71 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating ring 7. A push shaft 72 is slidably connected in the inclined groove of the inclined groove plate 71. The push shaft 72 is fixed to one end of the drive cylinder 414. Four drive rods 76 are fixedly connected to the outer circumference of the rotating ring 7. An inclined groove push plate 73 is sleeved on the outside of the drive rods 76. The inclined groove push plate 73 is vertically limited and slidably on the side of the fixed pipe 4. A push rod 74 is hinged to the bottom of the inclined groove push plate 73. A nitrogen nozzle 75 is hinged to the end of the push rod 74 away from the inclined groove push plate 73. The four nitrogen nozzles 75 are distributed circumferentially along the bottom end of the gas supply pipe 41. The nitrogen nozzles 75 are connected to the auxiliary nitrogen high-pressure tank through a connecting pipe. A solenoid valve is installed on the auxiliary nitrogen high-pressure tank.
[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the inclined groove push plate 73 is T-shaped.
[0055] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, a torsion spring is fitted onto the upper side of the drive gear 46 shaft. One end of the torsion spring is fixedly connected to the side of the drive gear 46 shaft, and the other end is fixed to the bottom of the vent plate 45. The torsion spring is a constant-force torsion spring, and its torque can be overcome by the meshing force between the first rack 410 and the drive gear 46, thereby adjusting the vent.
[0056] The method of use and advantages of the present invention: The working process of this sheet metal material cutting device is as follows:
[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figures 5 to 12 As shown, the sheet metal is placed on the cutting machine frame 1. When the sheet metal thickness is less than 3mm, nitrogen is used to assist in cutting. Nitrogen is an inert gas that can isolate oxygen and prevent oxidation, while forming an airflow barrier to blow away trace amounts of molten slag.
[0058] According to the sheet metal thickness, the distance between the laser head 42 and the sheet metal is adjusted, and the drive cylinder 414 is controlled to retract to drive the second rack 413 to move, thereby causing the rotating gear 412 and the transmission gear 411 to rotate counterclockwise synchronously, pushing the first rack 410 to move to the right. When the first rack 410 moves to the right, its upper left end push shaft 63 presses the inclined plate 62, pushing the toothed plate 61 to move away from the drive gear 46. At this time, the spring telescopic rod 64 deflects and stretches synchronously, pushing the toothed plate 61 to move away from the drive gear 46. The toothed plate 61 separates from the drive gear 46, releasing the locking state of the toothed plate 61 to the drive gear 46.
[0059] Then, the torsion spring on the shaft of the drive gear 46 drives the right sealing disc 47 to deflect, releasing its sealing state on the venting disc 45. At this time, the venting port of the venting disc 45 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44 is at its maximum. Then, as the first rack 410 continues to move to the right and meshes with the right drive gear 46, it drives the upper sealing disc 47 and the eccentric cam 48 to deflect simultaneously, gradually reducing the size of the venting port of the venting disc 45 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44. This is to adapt to the cutting of sheet metal with a thickness of less than 3mm. The smaller the thickness, the smaller the venting port of the venting disc 45 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44.
[0060] Furthermore, when the drive cylinder 414 retracts, it drives the push shaft 72 to slide in the inclined groove of the inclined groove plate 71, causing the rotating ring 7 to drive the drive rod 76 to rotate counterclockwise, thereby squeezing the inclined groove push plate 73 to move down, and cooperating with the push rod 74 to drive the nitrogen nozzle 75 to deflect and converge, so that the jet direction is accurately aligned with the laser cutting point, so as to adjust the jet angle of the nitrogen nozzle 75 according to the thickness of the plate.
[0061] When cutting sheet metal thicker than 3mm, sufficient energy is needed to penetrate the material. Oxygen can work with the laser to aid combustion and improve cutting efficiency. By extending the drive cylinder 414, the rotating gear 412 and the transmission gear 411 are driven to rotate clockwise, causing the first rack 410 to move to the left.
[0062] When the first rack 410 moves to the left, it first separates from the right drive gear 46. Then, the rounded corner push plate 55 squeezes the drive plate 53 and, in conjunction with the reset spring telescopic rod 54, drives the inclined extrusion plate 52 to deflect. The inclined extrusion plate 52 deflects at the end of the inclined extrusion plate 52, squeezing the eccentric cam 48, causing the eccentric cam 48 to drive the sealing disc 47 to deflect and reset, thus sealing the vent of the vent plate 45 corresponding to the nitrogen supply pipe 44.
[0063] At this time, the first rack 410 continues to move to the left, causing the drive plate 53 to deflect, which in turn causes the return spring extension rod 54 to extend, ensuring that the first rack 410 can continue to move to the left. The push shaft 63 at the upper right end of the first rack 410 presses the inclined plate 62, causing the toothed plate 61 to move and engage with the drive gear 46, locking the right-side reset sealing disc 47, thus achieving the purpose of sealing the nitrogen supply pipe 44.
[0064] Subsequently, as the first rack 410 continues to move to the left and meshes with the left drive gear 46, it causes the left sealing disc 47 to deflect and open, opening the ventilation port of the ventilation disc 45 corresponding to the oxygen supply pipe 43. This ensures that when the device can cut plates larger than 3mm, the thicker the plate, the larger the ventilation port of the ventilation disc 45 opens, in order to assist the laser in coordinating combustion and improve cutting efficiency.
[0065] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the invention.
