Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of thermal cutting technology of metal materials, specifically relating to a laser cutting machine applied to an intelligent production line for profile steel. Background Technology
[0002] Section steel, including I-beams, channel steel, H-beams, and angle steel, is the core raw material for steel structure buildings, engineering machinery, and warehousing equipment manufacturing. On intelligent continuous production lines, laser cutting machines undertake key processes such as fixed-length cutting, beveling, and irregular-shaped cutting. The cutting accuracy and end-face flatness directly determine the subsequent assembly and welding quality.
[0003] In actual continuous feeding processing, the laser cutting equipment used in the existing intelligent steel production line generally has deformation defects such as side bending, longitudinal bending, and local warping in the incoming steel. The existing equipment only has simple guide wheels and fixed pressure wheels for rigid feeding at the feeding end, without a front-end online straightening structure. The bent steel directly enters the cutting station, which is very easy to produce defective products such as cutting size deviation, bevel angle deviation, and end face tilt.
[0004] For example, Chinese patent CN212823432U discloses "an automated laser cutting production line for profile cutting", which only sets up a conveyor roller and a clearance cutting station, but does not set up a front straightening mechanism. It cannot pre-correct the bent steel, and the deformation of the incoming material directly affects the cutting accuracy.
[0005] Chinese patent CN116748882A discloses "a laser tube cutting machine and cutting method applicable to the steel structure industry". The feeding end is only equipped with a limiting guide structure, relying on manual screening of bent profiles, without automated straightening function, and has poor adaptability to intelligent continuous production lines.
[0006] Chinese patent CN219724972U discloses "a profile cutting device" that uses fixed pressure rollers to press and convey profiles. It is a rigid pressing structure without pressure detection and adaptive adjustment functions, which easily damages the surface of the profiles and cannot adapt to steel profiles with different degrees of deformation.

At the same time, it controls the servo motor 3175 to move, driving the two longitudinal straightening rollers 3156 to open and close to the preset spacing.
[0036] The steel profile passes sequentially through a vertical straightening unit 314 and a horizontal straightening unit 315. A first pressure sensor 3146 detects the vertical straightening pressure in real time, and a second pressure sensor 3159 detects the horizontal straightening pressure in real time. The pressure signals are transmitted to the CNC box 6. The CNC box 6 compares the real-time detected pressure value with a preset standard pressure value. When the actual pressure value is greater than the standard pressure value, the first cylinder 3163 is controlled to appropriately reduce the output pressure. When the actual pressure value is less than the standard pressure value, the first cylinder 3163 is controlled to appropriately increase the output pressure. At the same time, the rotation angle of the servo motor 3175 is adjusted according to the horizontal pressure signal, thereby achieving adaptive straightening and eliminating longitudinal bending and lateral bending defects of the steel profile.
[0037] The straightened steel section is conveyed to the top of the honeycomb worktable 2. The CNC box 6 controls the second cylinder 726 to move, driving the support roller 71 to rise to the preset height to provide auxiliary support for the steel section and prevent it from shaking during the cutting process.
[0038] Subsequently, the vision camera 53, under the illumination of the ring light source 54, collects the actual position information of the steel profile and transmits it to the CNC box 6. Based on the visual positioning result, the CNC box 6 controls the multi-degree-of-freedom linear drive mechanism 4 to move the cutting execution mechanism 5 to the cutting start position. The laser head 52 emits a laser and performs cutting operations according to the preset cutting trajectory under the drive of the multi-degree-of-freedom linear drive mechanism 4. During the cutting process, the negative pressure dust suction pipe 55 continuously sucks up the smoke and dust and fine waste generated during cutting. Large pieces of waste generated during cutting fall onto the guide plate 81 through the hollow structure of the honeycomb worktable 2 and slide down along the guide plate 81 into the collection drawer 82 for collection.
[0039] After cutting is completed, the CNC box 6 controls the support roller 71 to descend, and the downstream conveying equipment transports the cut steel to the next process. Example 2
[0040] This embodiment is an enhanced straightening machine with multiple sets of adaptive straightening units 31 connected in series, which is suitable for production scenarios where the incoming material has large deformation or high requirements for straightening accuracy.
[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the bases 311 of the two sets of adaptive straightening units 31 are fixed to the feed end of the machine body 1 by bolts in sequence, and the distance between the two adjacent sets of adaptive straightening units 31 is 800mm; the structure of the two sets of adaptive straightening units 31 is exactly the same as the structure of the adaptive straightening unit 31 described in Embodiment 1. The first pressure sensor 3146 is a JLBS-Ⅱ type S-type tension and compression sensor, the second pressure sensor 3159 is a DYHW-116 type miniature pressure sensor, and the first cylinder 3163 is an SC series standard cylinder, which will not be described in detail here.
[0042] The working process of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment 1. The difference is that the steel section to be cut is straightened twice by two sets of adaptive straightening units 31 in sequence: the first set of adaptive straightening units 31 is used to eliminate the large-size macroscopic deformation of the steel section, and the second set of adaptive straightening units 31 is used to eliminate the residual micro-deformation of the steel section, thereby obtaining higher straightening accuracy.
[0043] By arranging two sets of adaptive straightening units 31 in series at the feeding end, the steel with large deformation can be fully straightened, which further improves the straightening effect and cutting accuracy, and effectively reduces the product defect rate caused by residual deformation of the steel. It is particularly suitable for high-end steel structure production scenarios with high product quality requirements. Example 3
[0044] This embodiment has a structure that is basically the same as that of embodiment 1. The difference is that the negative pressure suction pipe 55 adopts an adjustable angle structure, which can flexibly adjust the suction position according to different cutting processes and cutting angles to improve the dust extraction effect.
[0045] like Figure 6 As shown, the negative pressure suction pipe 55 includes a metal shaping tube and a suction nozzle; wherein, the metal shaping tube is a flexible stainless steel metal hose that can be bent and shaped at will; the suction nozzle is a trumpet-shaped suction nozzle, which is stamped from 304 stainless steel plate.
[0046] By adopting a negative pressure suction tube 55 structure with adjustable angle and position, the suction position can be flexibly adjusted according to different cutting processes and cutting angles, so that the suction nozzle is always aligned with the cutting point, which greatly improves the dust extraction effect and effectively improves the workshop working environment; at the same time, the metal shaping tube can be bent and shaped at will, which is simple and convenient to operate and can quickly adapt to the cutting needs of steel of different specifications.
