[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic water-cutting device for headlights includes a cutting work platform 1, a positioning bottom mold, a cutting tool assembly and a controller; the positioning bottom mold can be detachably positioned and installed on the cutting work platform 1, the positioning bottom mold includes a bottom mold plate 2 and a plurality of clamping tooling assemblies 3 arranged on the bottom mold plate 2; the cutting tool assembly includes a tool truss 4, a feed cylinder 5, a tool mounting frame 6 and a cutting tool, the cutting tool is fixedly mounted on the feed cylinder 5 through the tool mounting frame 6, the feed cylinder 5 is movably arranged on the truss and electrically connected to the controller, and is driven by the controller. The automatic water-cutting device for headlights of this embodiment has a compact structure, a reasonable design concept, good flexibility and applicability, the positioning bottom mold can be detachably positioned and installed on the cutting work platform 1, adapted to fix different models of plastic headlight products, and the corresponding water-cutting tool is selected to perform automatic cutting action control, which can serve a variety of plastic industries, and can realize the automatic operation of water-cutting of plastic headlight products by cooperating with the loading and unloading of the manipulator, with a high degree of automation, and can be used as an intermediate link to connect the automatic line, improve production efficiency and product quality, and effectively improve the comprehensive competitiveness of the enterprise.

[0022] Specifically, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the positioning bottom mold in this embodiment includes a first bottom mold 7 and a second bottom mold 8, and the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 are respectively detachably positioned and installed on the cutting work platform 1 through the bottom mold positioning structure. In the specific application of this embodiment, the rear half of the car light product is positioned and fixed by the first bottom mold 7, and the front half of the car light product is positioned and fixed by the second bottom mold 8. After the product is positioned and fixed, the controller controls the cutting tool assembly above the cutting work platform 1 to perform the nozzle cutting action, thereby improving the nozzle cutting efficiency.

[0023] As a feasible implementation, as shown in the accompanying drawings, in this embodiment, the bottom mold positioning structure is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 9 on the cutting work platform 1, and corresponding positioning protrusions and a plurality of fixing screw holes 10 are provided on the bottom mold plate 2. When installing, the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 are first placed on the cutting work platform 1, and the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 are quickly and accurately positioned at a predetermined position through the positioning restriction effect of the positioning grooves 9 and the positioning protrusions, and then the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 are tightened and fixed by screws, that is, the installation of the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 is completed. When the automatic water outlet cutting device for car lights needs to process another model of plastic car light products, the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 can be disassembled and replaced. It is easy to understand that based on the structural design of this embodiment, when facing the water outlet cutting processing of different models of plastic car light products, the connection and fixing method between the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 and the cutting work platform 1 is the same, and the difference is that the specific position setting and structural setting of the clamping tooling assembly 3 on the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 are different, so as to adapt to the clamping and fixing of different models of plastic car light products.

[0024] In the above embodiment, a preferred implementation is that the positioning groove 9 and the positioning protrusion are distributed in a triangle between the bottom mold plate 2 and the cutting work platform 1, so that the connection and fixation between the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 and the cutting work platform 1 is more stable and reliable.

[0025] Specifically, as shown in the accompanying drawings, the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 are inclined from the middle of the cutting work platform 1 to both sides, and nozzle cutting flow channels 11 are respectively formed on both sides of the cutting work platform 1. During the nozzle cutting process of the plastic car lamp product, the cut nozzle cuttings are gathered on both sides of the cutting work platform 1 for easy cleaning, thereby ensuring the continuous operation of the automatic nozzle cutting device of the car lamp and improving the overall processing efficiency.

[0026] In some embodiments, as shown in the accompanying drawings, it also includes an induction sensor group 12 electrically connected to the controller, and the induction sensor group 12 forms a detection window 13 on the first bottom mold 7 and the second bottom mold 8 respectively, for detecting whether the plastic headlight product to be cut is placed in place, so that the controller can recognize that the plastic headlight product material to be cut has been placed on the first bottom mold 7 and / or the second bottom mold 8, so as to perform subsequent action control.

[0027] In some embodiments, as shown in the accompanying drawings, a group of grating sensors 14 are provided on both sides of the feeding end of the cutting work platform 1, which are used to detect whether the unloading robot has left the cutting work platform 1. When the unloading robot is used to place the car lamp product material to be cut and processed from the front side of the cutting work platform 1, the grating sensor 14 can effectively detect the action of the unloading robot. According to the setting, a feedback signal can be generated to the controller when the unloading robot leaves the cutting work platform 1, so that the controller can recognize that the unloading action of the unloading robot has been completed and can perform subsequent action control.

[0028] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the utility model, which should not be construed as limiting the claims. The utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and its specific structure is allowed to be changed. In short, all changes made within the protection scope of the independent claims of the utility model are within the protection scope of the utility model.
