Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of machining, and in particular to a cutting and grinding integrated machine. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of machining, the processing of sheet metal parts is constantly evolving to meet various complex industrial needs. From simple cutting to today's high-precision cutting and grinding processes, advancements in processing equipment and technology have greatly improved product quality and production efficiency. Especially in industries requiring sheet metal cutting, such as construction decoration and machinery manufacturing, efficient and precise processing methods are paramount. Good processing equipment and methods ensure the aesthetics and performance of products, enhancing a company's market competitiveness and economic benefits.
[0003] Reference Figure 1 An opening is formed after a type of sheet material is cut, and the edges of the opening need to be ground.
[0004] In the past, a relatively simple support method was typically used to grind the edges of cut boards with openings. For example, a fixed-spaced support platform was used to place the board to be processed, but this method was only suitable for boards with openings of specific sizes. Another method involved using simple brackets and manually adjusting their positions to roughly match the size of the board opening, but this process was very cumbersome.
[0005] However, these existing technologies have significant drawbacks. When dealing with panels with openings of different sizes, fixed-spacing support platforms cannot be flexibly adjusted to accommodate various specifications, resulting in a narrow range of applications. While manually adjusting the brackets can handle some dimensional changes, the adjustment accuracy is difficult to guarantee, and the efficiency is low. Summary of the Invention

The supporting component is used to abut against the lower surface of the workpiece to support it. Two supporting components are provided: one is connected to a fixed frame, and the other is connected to a movable frame. The width adjustment component is used to drive the movable frame to slide in order to adjust the distance between the two supporting components.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the cut plate with an opening is placed on the support component, and the width adjustment component moves to adjust the spacing between the support components based on the size of the opening, so that the edge of the opening extends out of the support component, so that the support component does not interfere with the grinding wheel, and the edge of the opening is ground.
[0011] Preferably, the width adjustment component includes a lead screw pair. The lead screw of the lead screw pair is rotatably connected to the fixed frame, and the nut of the lead screw pair is connected to the movable frame.

[0013] Preferably, there are multiple lead screw pairs, and all lead screw pairs are spaced apart. The width adjustment component also includes a transmission mechanism. The transmission mechanism is connected to multiple lead screws so that all lead screws rotate synchronously.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple lead screw pairs operate synchronously to drive the moving frame to slide, ensuring that all parts of the moving frame slide synchronously, especially when the moving frame is large, thus avoiding the moving frame from tilting.
[0015] Preferably, it also includes a pushing component and a pressing component. The supporting component is located between the pushing component and the pressing component. The pushing component is connected to a supporting component, and the pushing component is used to abut against the side surface of the workpiece. The pressing component is connected to another supporting component, and the pressing component is used to abut against the upper surface of the workpiece.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the pushing component and the pressing component cooperate with each other to fix the workpiece to be processed on the supporting component, so as to ensure the smooth completion of processing.
[0017] Preferably, the pushing component is connected to the movable frame, and the pressing component is connected to the fixed frame.
[0018] Preferably, the supporting component includes a rubber sheet. The rubber sheet is used to abut against the lower surface of the workpiece.
[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the workpiece to be processed can be stably placed on the supporting component, reducing the risk of the workpiece slipping off.
[0020] Preferably, it also includes a tool magazine. The tool magazine is provided in two parts: one tool magazine is located on one side of the worktable, and the other tool magazine is located on one side of the cutting table.
[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the tool magazine can store various types of cutting tools (e.g., cutting discs and grinding wheels of different diameters), enabling automatic tool changing.
[0022] Preferably, it also includes a water-blocking component. The water-blocking component is located between the cutting table and the worktable, and the water-blocking component slides in the vertical direction.
[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, cutting fluid will be sprayed onto the machining position during the cutting and / or grinding process. The water-blocking component is used to block the splashing cutting fluid droplets, which is beneficial to environmental hygiene.
[0024] Preferably, a material clamping component is connected to the cutting table. The pressing component is used to press against the upper surface of the workpiece.
[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the workpiece to be processed on the fixed cutting table can be fixed to ensure that the processing is completed smoothly.

[0029] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This application discloses a cutting and grinding integrated machine, including a cutting table 1, a worktable 2, a crossbeam 3, and a processing head.
