Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of cutting equipment technology, and more specifically, to a tool storage component, a cutting machine tool recycling device, a cutting machine, and a method thereof. Background Technology

[0002] Small sheet cutting equipment is widely used in industries such as mobile phone screen protectors, advertising production, garment sampling, and printing and packaging. This type of equipment is mainly used for the precision cutting of flexible sheet materials such as films, paper, cardboard, self-adhesive labels, fabrics, and leather. Cutting machines typically employ a carriage-style blade holder structure, with magnets inside the holder to magnetically attract and fix the cutting blades (such as vibrating blades, drag blades, and creasing blades) along a preset trajectory for high-speed cutting.

[0003] To facilitate tool replacement and management, cutting machines typically have a detachable tool storage unit installed under the work platform to collect old tools released from the tool holder after cutting operations. Since these small cutting devices are often placed in offices, sample rooms, or light workshops, operators have high requirements for a quiet working environment, making noise control of the equipment particularly important.

[0004] In existing technologies, tool storage components are typically just a box structure with an open top. When the cutting machine operates at high speed, the entire work platform vibrates to a certain extent, especially when cutting hard films or thick cardboard, where the reciprocating motion of the tool holder causes significant platform vibration. Because there is no securing mechanism between the retrieved tool and the tool storage component, the tool will collide and bounce against the side walls or bottom of the box under vibration, producing a continuous "clicking" or metallic clanging sound. This not only disrupts the quiet working environment required in offices or sample rooms, but long-term vibration can also damage the tool cutting edges, affecting the tool's lifespan and increasing consumable costs. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a tool storage component that effectively avoids vibration and noise generated by the tool during the operation of the cutting machine, a cutting machine tool recycling device including the tool storage component, a cutting machine, and a method.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, in a first aspect, the present invention provides a tool storage component for collecting tools from a cutting machine, wherein the tools are metal parts that are magnetically attracted, comprising: a box body defining a storage cavity for accommodating the tools, the top of the box body having an opening communicating with the storage cavity; and a magnetic element disposed on the box body, capable of applying a magnetic force to the tools in the storage cavity to attract and fix the tools in the storage cavity.

[0007] As a further improvement of the present invention, the magnetic force exerted by the magnetic element on the cutter in the storage cavity can be switched; the cutter storage component is configured to switch between an adsorption state and a release state. In the adsorption state, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element acts on the knife inside the storage cavity to adsorb and fix the knife inside the storage cavity; In the released state, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element does not act on the cutter in the storage cavity, so that the cutter is in a state of free movement in the storage cavity.

[0008] As a further improvement of the present invention, the magnetic element is disposed on a movable support, which is movably connected to the box body, and the switching between the adsorption state and the release state is realized by the movement of the movable support.

[0009] As a further improvement of the present invention, the box body includes a guide structure, which is disposed below the opening. The guide surface of the guide structure located in the storage cavity is inclined to guide the knife falling from the opening to slide stably into the storage cavity.

[0010] As a further improvement of the present invention, the bottom of the box body is provided with a slide rail extending along a first direction, the movable bracket has a fastening part that slides with the slide rail, and the movable bracket and the box body are in a damped sliding fit.

[0011] As a further improvement of the present invention, the slide rail is provided with limiting parts at both ends to limit the movement stroke of the movable support.

[0012] On the other hand, the present invention also provides a cutting machine tool recycling device, including a cutting machine working platform and a tool storage component as described in any of the preceding claims, the tool storage component being detachably mounted on the cutting machine working platform; further comprising: a clamping assembly disposed on the cutting machine working platform and corresponding vertically to the opening of the tool storage component; the clamping assembly comprising at least two relatively movable clamping members and a driving device for driving the relative movement of the clamping members.

[0013] As a further improvement of the present invention, the at least two clamping members include a fixed clamping arm and a movable clamping arm, and the driving device is drivenly connected to the movable clamping arm to drive the movable clamping arm to move relative to the fixed clamping arm.

[0014] As a further improvement of the present invention, the driving device is a rotary drive motor, one end of the movable clamping arm is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the drive motor drives the movable clamping arm to swing. Alternatively, the driving device may be a linear drive element, which is used to drive the movable clamping arm to translate or swing.

[0015] As a further improvement of the present invention, the clamping end of the fixed clamping arm is provided with a first elastic buffer, and the clamping end of the movable clamping arm is provided with a second elastic buffer; and / or, the clamping assembly further includes a limiting member disposed next to the driving device, the limiting member being used to limit the movement angle or stroke of the movable clamping arm.

[0016] This invention also provides a method for recycling cutting machine tools, applied to the cutting machine tool recycling device as described in any of the preceding claims, comprising the following steps: S1: clamping step, controlling the clamping assembly to clamp the bottom of the tool released from the tool holder; S2: demagnetizing and dropping step, controlling the tool holder to move, so that the magnet inside the tool holder moves away from the tool until the tool is no longer magnetically attracted to the tool holder, and then controlling the clamping assembly to release the tool, so that the tool falls into the storage cavity under the action of gravity through the guide structure; S3: adsorption and fixing step, switching the tool storage component to the adsorption state, so that the magnetic element adsorbs and fixes the tool that has fallen into the storage cavity; S4: release and removal step, when it is necessary to remove the tool, switching the tool storage component to the release state, so that the magnetic force of the magnetic element does not act on the storage cavity, so as to facilitate the removal of the tool from the storage cavity.

[0017] Thirdly, the present invention also provides a cutting machine, including the cutting machine tool recycling device described above.

[0018] This invention incorporates magnetic elements on the box of the tool storage component, which magnetically attracts and fixes the tools that fall into the storage cavity. This effectively prevents collisions and jumping between tools or between the tools and the box caused by platform vibration during cutting machine operation, thereby effectively reducing the noise generated and significantly improving the working experience in quiet environments such as offices and sample rooms.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc., shown in the accompanying drawings of this specification are only for the purpose of assisting those skilled in the art in understanding and reading the content disclosed in the specification, and are not intended to limit the conditions under which this application can be implemented.

[0027] Example like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention provides a knife storage component 100 for collecting knives from a cutting machine. The cutting machine is preferably a small sheet cutting device, mainly used for cutting flexible sheet materials such as films, paper, fabrics, and leather. Its knives are typically made of metal and can be magnetically attracted.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, the knife storage component 100 includes a housing 110. The housing 110 can be made of non-magnetic materials such as plastic, nylon, or aluminum alloy to avoid interference with magnetic forces. The housing 110 defines a storage cavity 111 for accommodating the knife, and its top has an opening 112 communicating with the storage cavity 111. The shape of the opening 112 can be rectangular, circular, or elliptical, and its size should be larger than the maximum cross-sectional size of the knife to ensure that the knife can fall in smoothly.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown, the magnetic element 120 is disposed on the box 110 and is used to apply magnetic force to the knife in the storage cavity 111 so as to attract and fix the knife in the storage cavity 111.

[0030] In some implementations, the arrangement of the magnetic element 120 can have several alternative variations: One implementation method: bottom embedding. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the magnetic element 120 is embedded in the bottom wall of the box 110, directly facing the storage cavity 111. The advantage of this method is its simple structure and direct magnetic force.

[0031] One implementation method: sidewall type. The magnetic element 120 can be disposed inside the sidewall of the housing 110, attracting the tool through the sidewall. This method is suitable for scenarios where the tool is long and needs to be horizontally fixed.

[0032] One implementation method is a multi-magnet distributed system. Multiple magnetic elements 120 can be simultaneously arranged on the bottom and side walls of the housing 110 to form multi-point adsorption, ensuring that the tool can be effectively fixed in various postures.

[0033] One implementation method is external attachment. The magnetic element 120 can be attached to the outer wall of the box 110 by means of adhesive, clips, or screws, as long as its magnetic force can penetrate the wall of the box 110 and act on the storage cavity 111. This method facilitates the replacement or upgrading of the magnetic element 120.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the magnetic element 120 is a permanent magnet 121, such as a neodymium iron boron magnet, a ferrite magnet, or an AlNiCo magnet. Among them, neodymium iron boron magnets have strong magnetic force and small size, making them suitable for space-constrained applications.

[0035] In some implementations, the magnetic element 120 may be an electromagnet: in some applications where the magnitude of the attraction force needs to be remotely controlled, the magnetic element 120 may also be an electromagnet, and the magnetic force can be adjusted by controlling the on / off state and magnitude of the current.

[0036] Those skilled in the art will understand that, regardless of the above-mentioned arrangement or type of magnet, as long as the magnetic element 120 can exert an adsorption effect on the knife in the receiving cavity 111 to solve the vibration and noise problem, it should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application.

[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic force exerted by the magnetic element 120 on the tool within the receiving cavity 111 is switchable. The tool receiving component 100 is configured to switch between an adsorption state and a release state. In the adsorption state, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element 120 acts on the receiving cavity 111, adsorbing and fixing the tool; in the release state, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element 120 has virtually no effect on the receiving cavity 111, and the tool is in a freely movable state.

[0038] There are multiple ways to achieve switchable magnetic force effects. This embodiment provides the following optional implementation methods: One implementation method: mechanically mobile. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the magnetic element 120 is mounted on a movable support 130. By changing the relative position of the magnetic element 120 and the receiving cavity 111 through the movable support 130, the area of ​​magnetic force application is changed. This method is preferred in this embodiment because it is simple, reliable, and inexpensive. Specifically, when the movable bracket 130 moves the magnetic element 120 to a preset adsorption position close to the storage cavity 111, the distance between the magnetic element 120 and the knife inside the storage cavity 111 is relatively close. At this time, the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element 120 can effectively penetrate the box wall and act on the knife, so that the knife is stably adsorbed on the corresponding inner wall or designated area of ​​the storage cavity, thereby achieving the adsorption state. When the movable bracket 130 moves the magnetic element 120 to a preset release position away from the storage cavity 111, the distance between the magnetic element 120 and the knife inside the storage cavity 111 increases to the point that the strength of the magnetic force is greatly reduced, so that the magnetic force is insufficient to overcome the weight of the knife itself or the slight removal force applied by the user. At this time, the knife is no longer subject to significant magnetic attraction in the storage cavity 111, thereby achieving the release state, making it convenient for the user to remove the knife.

[0039] One implementation method is the electromagnetic on / off type. An electromagnet is used as the magnetic element 120. When the electromagnet is energized, it generates a magnetic force to attract the cutter (attracted state); when the electromagnet is de-energized, the magnetic force disappears, and the cutter detaches (released state). This method allows for remote or automated control and is suitable for intelligent cutting equipment.

[0040] One implementation method is the magnetic pole switching method. Two opposing permanent magnets 121 are used. By changing their relative position or polarity, the combined magnetic field in the receiving cavity 111 is enhanced or canceled, thereby achieving the switching between adsorption and release states.

[0041] Those skilled in the art will understand that the various optional implementation methods described above all achieve the function of "switchable magnetic force," resolving the contradiction between "silent storage" and "easy pouring," and should all fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed in this application. Specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail using a mechanically movable type as a preferred embodiment, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0042] like Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a specific implementation structure for a mechanically movable type. A magnetic element 120 is disposed on a movable support 130, which is movably connected to the housing 110. The movement of the movable support 130 achieves the switching between an adsorption state and a release state.

[0043] The movable connection between the movable bracket 130 and the housing 110 can be achieved through a sliding fit. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the bottom sides of the housing 110 are provided with slide rails 113 extending along the first direction F (i.e., the sliding direction). The cross-section of the slide rails 113 can be T-shaped, L-shaped, dovetail-shaped, or cylindrical. The movable support 130 adopts a U-shaped structure, with its two arms forming a fastening part 131 that slides and engages with the slide rails 113. The shape of the fastening part 131 matches that of the slide rails 113. A magnetic element 120 is embedded in the bottom of the U-shaped structure. This U-shaped fastening structure is simple to assemble, slides smoothly, and provides good guidance and support.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom surface of the box 110 is provided with a semi-circular protruding locking strip 1101, corresponding to the adsorption state and the release state. The movable bracket 130 is provided with a matching locking slot, so that there will be position feedback when the corresponding state is locked.

[0045] As a variation of the sliding fit, a sliding groove can be provided on the housing 110 and a slider can be provided on the movable bracket 130; or a sliding connection can be achieved by using standard parts such as linear guide pairs.

[0046] In some embodiments, to ensure that the movable support 130 does not accidentally shift under the vibration generated by the cutting machine operation, the movable support 130 and the housing 110 are preferably in a damped sliding fit. Damping can be achieved by an interference fit: a small interference is provided between the fastening part 131 and the slide rail 113, and frictional damping is generated by the elasticity of the material.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, to prevent the movable support 130 from sliding off the slide rail 113, limiting portions 1131 are provided at both ends of the slide rail 113. The limiting portion 1131 can be an integral stop: a protruding stop is provided at the end of the slide rail 113, which abuts against the end face of the fastening portion 131 of the movable support 130.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 5As shown, a guide structure 114 is provided at the bottom of the box body 110. The guide structure 114 is located directly below the opening 112 and extends obliquely toward the storage cavity 111. The guide structure 114 can have the following forms: ramp type: using a smooth inclined plane, the cutter 300 slides into the storage cavity 111 along the ramp after falling. guide groove type: a guide groove is provided to limit the sliding direction of the cutter 300 and prevent lateral deviation. In some embodiments, in the adsorption state, the magnetic element 120 is located in the middle position near the center of the storage cavity 111. When the cutter 300 is guided to slide to the bottom center of the storage cavity 111, the magnetic center of the magnetic element 120 is concentrated in the middle of the cutter 300 to achieve adsorption; in the release state, the magnetic element 120 is located directly below the guide structure 114, the guide structure 114 is away from the position of the cutter in the storage cavity 111, and the guide structure 114 is built into the middle of the box body 110, with its top end connected to The storage cavity 111 has one side wall, and the bottom end is connected to the bottom surface of the storage cavity 111. The length of the guide structure 114 and the side wall of the storage cavity 111 (the side wall away from the guide structure 114) is adapted to or slightly larger than the length of the cutter 300. When the magnetic element 120 moves to the position directly below the guide structure 114, the magnetic force of the magnetic element 120 is blocked by the guide structure 114 and basically does not act on the cutter in the storage cavity 111. As a result, the box 110 can tilt the cutter out under the action of inverting.

[0049] like Figures 3-5 As shown, the present invention also provides a cutting machine tool recycling device 200, including a cutting machine operating platform 210, a tool storage component 100 as described in any of the above embodiments, and a clamping assembly 220. The tool storage component 100 is detachably installed below the cutting machine operating platform 210, and the detachable method includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit ​​connection, sliding groove insertion, magnetic connection, screw fixing, etc.

[0050] like Figures 6-8 As shown, for example, the cutting machine work platform 210 includes a frame body 211, the interior of which is hollow. The clamping component 220 is disposed inside the frame body 211. The top surface of the frame body 211 is defined as the work platform 210 of the cutting machine. A blade clamping window 2111 is provided on the top of the frame body 211. The clamping end of the clamping component 220 is located inside the blade clamping window 2111. The controller of the cutting machine 400 drives the carriage blade holder 410 to move directly above the blade clamping window 2111 through its three-axis motion slide, and then moves the blade down to the clamping end of the clamping component 220. The controller can drive the clamping component 220 to perform clamping and releasing actions.

[0051] like Figures 6-8As shown, for example, the bottom of the frame body 211 is provided with a mounting window 2112 for the knife storage component 100. The size of the mounting window 2112 is similar to the size of the knife storage component 100. Deformable pieces 140 are provided on both sides of the knife storage component 100. The deformable piece 140 includes a starting end 140a, a snap-fit ​​end 140b, and a release end 140c. The snap-fit ​​end 140b is located between the starting end 140a and the release end 140c, and the starting end 140a is flush with the surface of the knife storage component 100 so that the top of the knife storage component 100 can be smoothly inserted upward into the mounting window 2112. The snap-fit ​​end 140b protrudes from both sides of the box body 110, and the outer surface of the snap-fit ​​end 140b is provided with barbs 14. 01. As the entire tool storage component 100 is inserted upwards, the deformation piece 140 continuously deforms and narrows towards the tool storage component 100 until the barb 1401 is engaged with the bottom inner wall of the frame body 211, forming a complete latch. The tool storage component 100 is then stably fixed to the mounting window 2112. At this time, the release end 140c is still exposed on the bottom surface of the frame body 211. When it is necessary to remove the tool storage component 100, the user can press the release ends 140c on both sides to further deform the deformation piece 140 towards the inside of the tool storage component 100, causing the barb 1401 of the latch end 140b to disengage from the bottom inner wall of the frame body 211. At this point, the tool storage component 100 can be pulled downwards from the mounting window 2112. This latching connection method is convenient to operate and does not require additional tools, enabling quick installation and removal of the tool storage component 100. This facilitates users to regularly perform centralized processing or maintenance of the stored tools.

[0052] The slide rail 113 and the movable bracket 130 are located at the bottom of the tool storage component 100, that is, exposed outside the bottom of the frame body 211. The user can adjust the position of the magnetic element 120 on the movable bracket 130 as needed.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown, the clamping component 220 is disposed on the cutting machine operating platform 210, and its clamping position corresponds vertically to the opening 112 of the tool storage component 100, ensuring that the tool 300 can accurately fall into the opening 112 after being released.

[0054] like Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 220 includes at least two relatively movable clamping members 235, and a drive device 234 for driving the relative movement of the clamping members 235. The number of clamping members 235 can be varied, such as a two-jaw type: two clamping members 235 move relative to each other to achieve the clamping function. This is the most common form. A three-jaw type: three clamping members 235 move synchronously towards the center, suitable for circular cutting tools 300 or applications requiring centering.

[0055] The clamping member 235 can adopt the following relative motion methods: Translation type: The clamping member 235 translates along the linear guide rail to achieve opening and closing. Swing type: The clamping member 235 swings around the rotation axis to achieve opening and closing.

[0056] As a preferred implementation method, such as Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the clamping assembly 220 includes a fixed clamping arm 222 and a movable clamping arm 231. The fixed clamping arm 222 extends from the bracket 221 above the opening 112 of the tool storage component 100, and the movable clamping arm 231 is movably mounted on the bracket 221. A drive device 234 is drivenly connected to the movable clamping arm 231, driving the movable clamping arm 231 to move relative to the fixed clamping arm 222, thereby clamping or releasing the tool 300. This fixed-motor structure has the advantages of simple control and low cost, and is suitable for clamping most conventional tools 300.

[0057] The drive device 234 can be implemented in various ways to adapt to different application scenarios and performance requirements: In a preferred embodiment, the drive device 234 employs a rotary drive motor 2341. For example... Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a rotary drive motor 2341 is used as the drive device 234. One end of the movable clamping arm 231 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the rotary drive motor 2341. When the rotary drive motor 2341 rotates, it directly drives the movable clamping arm 231 to swing. This method has a simple structure, fast response speed, and is suitable for occasions with frequent movements.

[0058] In one implementation method, the drive device 234 employs a linear drive element. The movable clamping arm 231 is driven to move using this linear drive element. The linear drive element can be: a pneumatic element, such as a single-acting cylinder, double-acting cylinder, or pneumatic finger, suitable for applications requiring rapid response and sufficient air supply; a hydraulic element, such as a hydraulic cylinder, suitable for applications requiring large clamping forces; or an electric actuator, such as a lead screw motor or linear motor, suitable for applications requiring precise control of position and force.

[0059] like Figure 4 As shown, to protect the surface and cutting edge of the tool 300 from damage, the clamping end of the fixed clamping arm 222 is provided with a first elastic buffer 2221, and the clamping end of the movable clamping arm 231 is provided with a second elastic buffer 2311. The elastic buffer can be made of rubber / silicone: it is fitted onto the end of the clamping arm and is soft and elastic. The elastic buffer not only protects the tool 300 but also increases clamping friction, improving clamping reliability.

[0060] like Figures 3-5As shown, the clamping assembly 220 also includes a limiting member 236 disposed next to the drive device 234. The limiting member 236 is used to limit the movement angle or stroke of the movable clamping arm 231 to prevent excessive movement from damaging the mechanism or pinching the tool 300. The limiting member 236 may be: a mechanical stop: fixed on the bracket 221 and abutting against a specific part of the movable clamping arm 231; or a limit switch: triggered when the movable clamping arm 231 moves to its limit position, cutting off the drive power.

[0061] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the present invention also provides a method for recycling cutting machine tools, which can be applied to the cutting machine tool recycling device 200 described in any of the preferred embodiments above. The method includes the steps of clamping, demagnetizing and dropping, adsorption and fixation, and release and removal. Wherein: Step S1: Clamping step. Control the drive device 234 to move the movable clamping arm 231 towards the fixed clamping arm 222, clamping the bottom of the tool 300 released from the tool holder. At this time, the tool 300 is still attracted by the magnet inside the tool holder, but its bottom has been fixed by the clamping assembly 220.

[0062] Step S2: Demagnetization and Drop Step. Control the movement of the carriage tool holder 410, gradually moving the magnet inside the tool holder away from the tool 300 until the tool 300 is completely detached from the magnetic attraction of the tool holder. Then control the clamping assembly 220 to release the tool 300, which falls freely under the action of gravity.

[0063] Step S3: Adsorption and Fixing Step. Ensure that the movable bracket 130 is in the adsorption position (i.e., the magnetic element 120 is facing the storage cavity 111), so that the magnetic force generated by the magnetic element 120 acts on the storage cavity 111 to adsorb and fix the knife 300 that has fallen into the storage cavity 111.

[0064] Step S4: Release and Removal Step. When it is necessary to remove the knife 300 from the storage cavity 111, the operator manually drives the moving bracket 130 to slide it from the adsorption position to the release position. At this time, the magnetic element 120 deviates from the storage cavity 111, the knife 300 is released from the adsorption state, and the operator can easily pour the knife 300 out.
