Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automated mechanical equipment, in particular to an automated mechanical equipment suitable for turning over a medium-thick flange plate by laser cutting. Background Art

[0002] In the flange plate cutting process, laser cutting of flange plates has obvious advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. Laser cutting combines highly concentrated energy and pressure, and the heat-affected zone is very small. The processed material is less affected by warping or deformation caused by microstructural changes. At the same time, smaller and narrower material areas can be cut, and heat and material waste are significantly reduced. However, the reduction in oxygen purity during laser cutting has a great impact on the combustion rate of the cutting process. The reduction in combustion rate will greatly reduce the energy input to the cutting seam during the combustion process, reduce the cutting speed, and at the same time, the iron content in the liquid layer on the cutting surface will increase, thereby increasing the viscosity of the slag, resulting in difficulty in slag removal, which leads to serious slag hanging at the bottom of the flange plate cut.

[0003] The slag greatly affects the appearance and practicality of the cut flange plate, and needs to be polished and removed by a polishing tool. Since the slag is located at the lower part of the flange plate cut, the cut flange plate needs to be turned over before polishing and removing the slag. A common process in the factory is to turn over and polish a flange plate after cutting it. This practice is not suitable for medium-thick and thicker flange plates. Due to the heavy weight of thicker flange plates, it takes a lot of effort to turn over, which affects work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The present application provides an automated mechanical device suitable for flipping medium-thick flange plates during laser cutting, which has the effect of flipping multiple flange plates at one time.

[0005] The present application provides an automated mechanical device suitable for turning over a medium-thick flange plate by laser cutting, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] An automated mechanical device suitable for flipping medium-thick flange plates during laser cutting comprises a workbench on which a driving motor and a fixing assembly are arranged, wherein the fixing assembly comprises a main frame, a pressing plate and a pressure cylinder, wherein the pressing plate moves in the main frame in a direction perpendicular to the ground, wherein the main frame is provided with a working area for placing flange plates stacked together, wherein the main frame is provided with an opening, and the stacked flange plates are placed in the working area through the opening; wherein the pressure cylinder is arranged on a side wall at one end of the main frame away from the working area, wherein the telescopic rod of the pressure cylinder is arranged toward the pressing plate and is fixed on the pressing plate; wherein a driving rod is arranged on the driving motor, wherein both ends of the driving rod are respectively connected to the output end of the driving motor and the main frame, and wherein the driving motor is used to drive the main frame to rotate.

[0007] Through the above technical solution, the operator delivers the stacked flange plates to the working area in the main frame, then opens the equipment, the pressure cylinder drives the pressure plate to press the stacked flange plates, and then the driving motor drives the main frame to rotate 180 degrees to turn over all the stacked flange plates. Compared with turning over the flange plates one by one, this method greatly improves the turning efficiency, and also reduces the possible damage to the flange plates during a single turning and the situation where the flange plates hit people.

[0008] Preferably, two pallets are placed in the work area, the two pallets are arranged opposite to each other, the two pallets are located on both sides of the stacked flange plates, and the pallets are provided with matching grooves for forklift transportation.

[0011] Through the above technical solution, due to the large difference in the quality of the objects fixedly connected at both ends of the driving rod, the driving rod will inevitably shake during rotation, thereby affecting the flipping work. The setting of the gear and rack adds a fulcrum to the end of the driving rod close to the main frame, thereby reducing the possibility of shaking of the driving rod during rotation.

[0012] Preferably, a reinforcement frame is buried on the side of the main frame facing the drive motor, the reinforcement frame is arranged in a cross shape, and the center of the reinforcement frame is connected to the end of the drive rod away from the drive motor.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, since it is difficult to drive the main frame by the driving rod alone, the cross-shaped reinforcement frame is provided to increase the contact area between the driving rod and the main frame, so that the driving rod can better drive the main frame to rotate.

[0014] Preferably, a limit block is also provided on the pressure plate, and a movable groove is opened on the main frame. The length direction of the movable groove is arranged along the movable direction of the pressure plate, and the limit block slides in the movable groove along the movable direction of the pressure plate. The limit block is T-shaped, and the T-shaped bottom wall of the limit block abuts against the side of the movable groove away from the pressure plate.

[0015] Through the above technical solution, the limit block is used to limit the movement of the pressure plate in the direction perpendicular to the length of the movable groove, thereby reducing the situation where the accidental movement of the pressure plate during flipping causes damage to the telescopic rod of the pressure cylinder, and increasing the stability during flipping work.

[0016] Preferably, a brake component is also included, and the brake component is used to stop the telescopic movement of the pressure cylinder.

[0017] Through the above technical solution, the setting of the brake part makes it unnecessary for the operator to control the number of stacked flange plates. The brake part makes the pressure cylinder automatically stop extending the pressure plate after pressing the pallet, so that the equipment can automatically press the stacked flange plates of any thickness.

[0018] Preferably, the brake member includes a plurality of travel switches with switch pressing plates, a plurality of accommodating grooves are provided on a side of the pressing plate facing the working area, a plurality of the travel switches are arranged in the accommodating grooves, and the switch pressing plates extend out of the accommodating grooves and are arranged toward the working area.

[0019] Through the above technical solution, when the pressure plate moves toward the pallet, the switch pressing plate extending out of the accommodating groove gradually abuts against the pallet as the pressure plate moves, and is pressed into the accommodating groove by the pallet; when the switch pressing plate is completely pressed into the accommodating groove, the travel switch is triggered, and the pressure cylinder stops extending the telescopic rod.

[0020] The technical effects of this utility model are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

[0021] 1. The utility model drives the motor and the fixing assembly to put the stacked flange plates into the fixing assembly and fix them, and then drives the motor to rotate the fixing assembly to turn over the stacked flange plates, which greatly improves the turning efficiency and reduces the damage to the flange plates and the situation where the flange plates hit people when turning over a single flange plate;

[0030] Reference Figure 1-Figure 2 , an automated mechanical device suitable for turning over a medium-thick flange plate by laser cutting, comprising a workbench 1, on which a driving motor 2 and a fixing assembly 3 are arranged. The fixing assembly 3 comprises a main frame 31, a pressing plate 32 and two pressure cylinders 33, the pressing plate 32 moves in the main frame 31 in a direction perpendicular to the ground, the main frame 31 is provided with a working area 311 for placing the stacked flange plates 4, the main frame 31 is provided with an opening 312, and the stacked flange plates 4 are placed in the working area 311 through the opening 312. The two pressure cylinders 33 are fixed on the side wall of the main frame 31 away from the working area 311, and the telescopic rods of the two pressure cylinders 33 are arranged toward the pressing plate 32 and fixed on the pressing plate 32. A driving rod 21 is arranged on the driving motor 2, and the two ends of the driving rod 21 are respectively connected to the output end of the driving motor 2 and the main frame 31, and the driving motor 2 is used to drive the main frame 31 to rotate.

[0031] The operator delivers the stacked flange plates 4 to the working area 311 in the main frame 31, then turns on the equipment, and the pressure cylinder 33 drives the pressure plate 32 to press the stacked flange plates 4, and then drives the motor 2 to drive the main frame 31 to rotate 180 degrees to turn over all the stacked flange plates 4. Compared with turning over the flange plates 4 one by one, this method greatly improves the turning efficiency, and also reduces the possible damage to the flange plate 4 during a single turning and the situation where the flange plate 4 hits people.

[0032] Reference Figure 1Two pallets 5 are also placed in the work area 311. The two pallets 5 are arranged opposite to each other. The two pallets 5 are located on both sides of the stacked flange plates 4. The pallets 5 are provided with matching grooves 51 for forklift transportation. The arrangement of the pallets 5 is convenient for operators to use forklifts to transport the stacked flange plates 4.

The rack 62 is sleeved and fixed on the driving rod 21, and the rack 62 slides on the workbench 1 in a direction perpendicular to the length of the driving rod 21, and the rack 62 is meshed with the gear 61. Since the quality of the objects fixedly connected at both ends of the driving rod 21 varies greatly, the driving rod 21 will inevitably shake during rotation, thereby affecting the turning work, and the arrangement of the gear 61 and the rack 62 adds a fulcrum to the end of the driving rod 21 close to the main frame 31, thereby reducing the possibility of shaking of the driving rod 21 during rotation. The length of the rack 62 is greater than the circumference of the gear 61.

The limit block 321 is T-shaped, and the T-shaped bottom wall of the limit block 321 abuts against the side of the movable groove 313 away from the pressure plate 32. The limit block 321 is used to limit the movement of the pressure plate 32 in a direction perpendicular to the length of the movable groove 313, reduce the situation that the accidental movement of the pressure plate 32 during flipping causes damage to the telescopic rod of the pressure cylinder 33, and increase the stability during flipping.

[0036] Reference Figure 3 , and also includes a brake member 8, which is used to stop the extension and retraction of the pressure cylinder 33. The setting of the brake member 8 makes it unnecessary for the operator to control the number of the stacked flange plates 4. The brake member 8 makes the pressure cylinder 33 automatically stop extending after the pressing plate 32 presses the tray 5, so that the equipment can automatically press the stacked flange plates 4 of any thickness.

[0037] The brake member 8 includes a plurality of travel switches 81 with switch pressing plates 82. A plurality of receiving grooves 314 are provided on the side of the pressure plate 32 facing the working area 311. The plurality of travel switches 81 are detachably fixed in the receiving grooves 314 by screws.
