The terms used herein in the specification of this application are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application.
[0022] Combination Figure 1-3 As shown, a die-cutting machine tool changing mechanism comprises:
[0023] The die base 1 is the main body of the entire mechanism, used to fix and support other components. Its top is movably assembled with the walking mechanism of the die-cutting equipment, and a knife outlet is provided on the bottom surface, thereby driving the knife inside the die base 1 to realize mobile cutting;
[0024] The fixed seat 2 is arranged inside the mold base 1, and a bearing seat is provided at the bottom to enable it to rotate by itself. A plurality of through holes 21 are arranged around the top surface of the fixed seat 2, and each through hole 21 penetrates the fixed seat 2;
[0025] The handle 3 is a columnar structure and is vertically inserted into the through hole 21 of the fixing base 2, and a blade 33 is provided at the bottom end thereof;
[0026] The driving motor 4 is arranged above the fixing seat 2, and an electric telescopic rod 5 is provided on the output end thereof, and the electric telescopic rod 5 is detachably fixedly connected to the top of the handle 3, so as to realize the lifting and lowering adjustment and steering functions of the handle 3.
[0027] Specifically, the fixed seat 2 is a cylindrical structure, and a plurality of through holes 21 are arranged in a circular array. A toothed portion 25 is provided at the edge of its top surface. In order to facilitate the driving of the fixed seat 2 and realize the tool changing function, an electric motor 13 should be arranged inside the mold base 1 and installed on one side of the fixed seat 2. A gear sleeve is provided on the output end of the electric motor 13, and it is transmission-connected to the toothed portion 25.
[0028] Each knife handle 3 is arranged inside the through hole 21. In order to enable it to be pushed out by the electric telescopic rod 5 during the cutting process, the knife handle 3 should maintain a gap with the side wall of the through hole 21, but it is also necessary to ensure that the knife handle 3 does not slide out of the through hole 21. Therefore, a mounting groove is provided at the center of the fixing seat 2, and a knife locking buckle 22 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting groove;
[0029] The knife lock buckle 22 is a cylindrical structure, and is provided with rectangular openings 23 at its top and bottom. There are a plurality of rectangular openings 23 arranged around the outer wall of the knife lock buckle 22 .
[0030] A hole of the same size as the rectangular opening 23 on the knife lock buckle 22 is opened on the side wall of the through hole 21, and an electric push rod 24 is also provided inside the rectangular opening 23, so that the electric push rod 24 can extend along the side wall of the rectangular opening 23 to the inside of the through hole 21, so that its end is abutted and fixed to the side wall of the knife handle 3.
[0031] At the same time, in order to further improve the fixing effect of the knife lock buckle 22 , a limiting groove 31 matching the size of the end of the electric push rod 24 should be provided on the side wall of the knife handle 3 .
[0032] Based on the above fixing effect on the knife handle 3, in this embodiment, a threaded hole 32 should be opened at the center of the bottom end of the knife handle 3, and then a threaded section 51 adapted to the threaded hole 32 is arranged at the bottom end of the electric telescopic rod 5, and an elastic pad is arranged around the threaded section 51. The electric telescopic rod 5 moves downward so that its threaded section 51 is close to the threaded hole 32, and then the electric telescopic rod 5 is driven to rotate. While the two are threadedly assembled, the electric telescopic rod 5 slowly descends until the bottom end of the elastic pad fits the top surface of the knife handle 3.
[0033] The bottom surface of the die base 1 is located around the knife exit and is surrounded by a plurality of support rods 11, the bottom ends of the plurality of support rods 11 are fixedly connected to a positioning ring 12, a circular hole is provided at the center of the positioning ring 12, when the bottom end of the knife handle 3 extends downward and its stepped surface abuts against the top surface of the positioning ring 12, the blade 33 just passes through the circular hole and extends to the bottom of the positioning ring 12, at the same time, the support rod 11 is composed of two sleeve rods that are movably connected to each other, one of the sleeve rods is also provided with a spring inside and is fixedly connected to the top end of the other sleeve rod, so when the knife handle 3 is retracted into the die base 1, the structure will also retract upward to keep a gap between it and the cardboard; during the cutting process, the positioning ring 12 can fix the cardboard by extrusion, so that the blade 33 is more stable during the cutting process.
[0034] The above structures are all electronically controlled components. Therefore, in order to ensure that they cooperate more closely with each other, a PLC microcontroller can be used inside the mold base 1 for programming control to make the operation more streamlined and stable.
[0035] The control method is that each time the electric motor 4 rotates, one of the through holes 21 can be aligned with the blade, and then the electric telescopic rod 5 extends downward while the driving motor 4 rotates, and the threaded section 51 is fixedly connected with the threaded hole 32 on the top surface of the handle 3. At this time, the electric push rod 24 corresponding to the handle 3 on the locking knife buckle 22 contracts, and the electric telescopic rod 5 continues to extend downward until the blade 33 is below the positioning ring 12, and then it is used for cutting.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solution recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solution from the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
