Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of cutting machines, and in particular to a cutting mechanism of a plasma cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] Plasma cutting machine is a kind of equipment that uses plasma technology to cut metal. Plasma cutting machine uses arc discharge to excite gas (usually oxygen, nitrogen, argon, etc.) into plasma. The heat energy generated by high-temperature plasma can locally heat the metal material to the melting point to form a molten pool. At the same time, high-pressure gas (usually oxygen) is ejected from the cutting nozzle to blow the metal in the molten pool away from the workpiece surface, thus achieving the cutting and processing of metal materials.

[0003] When a plasma cutting machine cuts metal materials, some unmelted metal particles or other impurities exist in the cutting area. The electric arc may heat them, ignite them and generate sparks. The sparks generated during cutting will scatter along the cutting area, and the sputtering direction of the sparks mostly moves along the cutting path. The scattered sparks may cause damage to operators in the surrounding environment, so that there are certain safety hazards when using the plasma cutting machine.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned related technologies, the inventor believes that there is a defect that sparks scatter along the cutting path when the plasma cutting machine is used. Therefore, a cutting mechanism of a plasma cutting machine is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

[0021] By placing the workpiece on the upper surface of the workbench 1, the CNC guide rail 2 is movable and adjusted along the upper surface of the workbench 1, and the cutting machine body 3 is movable along the outer surface of the CNC guide rail 2, so that the cutting head 4 can perform movable cutting on the workpiece placed on the upper surface of the workbench 1, and the single double-sided rack plate 11 drives the two gears 10 on the same side to rotate relative to each other, and the movable connecting plate 9 drives the sliding block 7 to move along the inside of the guide groove 6, so that multiple protective plates 8 can be rotated and adjusted along the outer surface of the cutting head 4 with the sliding block 7. Different spark sputtering directions are generated along the different cutting paths of the cutting head 4, and the placement positions of multiple protective plates 8 are synchronously adjusted, which reflects the overall position adjustment effect of the protective plates 8.

[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4The sliding mechanism includes a double-sided rack plate 11, which is symmetrically and movably installed between the two gears 10 on the same side above the fixed baffle 5. The front and rear ends of the double-sided rack plate 11 are both movable close to the outer surface of the gear 10. The gear 10 and the double-sided rack plate 11 are meshed with each other. A mounting seat 12 is fixedly connected to the middle of the top of the double-sided rack plate 11. A rotating support rod 13 is hinged inside the mounting seat 12. A cylinder 14 is installed on the outer surface of the cutting head 4 above the fixed baffle 5. An outer sleeve 15 is installed at the bottom end of the cylinder 14. A circular hole is opened in the middle of the top of the outer sleeve 15. The outer diameter of the cutting head 4 is smaller than the inner diameter of the circular hole. The outer sleeve 15 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the cutting head 4. The cutting head 4 and the circular hole are embedded with each other.

[0023] By starting the cylinder 14, the outer sleeve 15 is driven to slide up and down along the outer surface of the cutting head 4, so that the outer sleeve 15 can move to push the rotating support rod 13 to rotate, and at the same time, the rotating support rod 13 can rotate along the inside of the mounting seat 12, and the rotating rotating support rod 13 can drive the double-sided rack plate 11 to move, which reflects the activity adjustment effect of the outer sleeve 15 on the double-sided rack plate 11.
