[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cutting machines, in particular to a cutting device for aviation seat cushions that can automatically clean waste materials. Background Technique

[0002] The sponge material used in aviation seats is usually called "aviation-grade sponge material", which is a special high-elastic polyurethane sponge. Compared with ordinary sponge materials, this material has the characteristics of lightness, wear resistance, and durability, and can adapt to long-term high-load pressure, providing passengers with a comfortable and safe riding experience.

[0003] The seat cushion has a specific shape and needs to be sheared before it is formed. Using a cutting machine to shear it is one of the common means. However, the existing cutting machine tools need to be manually picked up during the feeding and discharging processes, and the operation process is relatively cumbersome. Moreover, the existing cutting machine tools cannot collect and clean the waste materials at the edges and corners. For this reason, we propose a cutting device for aviation seat cushions that can automatically clean waste materials. Content of the Utility Model

Specific embodiments

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a cutting device for aviation seat cushions that can autonomously clean waste, including a planar conveyor and a laser cutting module. The planar conveyor is arranged below the laser cutting module, and the seat cushion blank on the planar conveyor is sheared by the laser cutting module. Next, the planar conveyor and the laser cutting module will be introduced one by one.

[0022] Both the planar conveyor and the laser cutting module are arranged on the support table 1. A plurality of support legs are provided at the bottom edge of the support table 1. First, the planar conveyor includes two strip-shaped frames 2 symmetrically arranged on the top of the support table 1. A number of roller shafts 18 are equidistantly arranged between the two strip-shaped frames 2. Both ends of the roller shafts 18 are rotatably connected to the strip-shaped frames 2. The roller shafts 18 are connected by a conveyor belt 3. The conveyor belt 3 is located below the laser cutting module, and the end of the roller shaft 18 at one end of the strip-shaped frame 2 is connected to a motor 23. The motor 23 is fixed on the strip-shaped frame 2. When the motor 23 rotates, it can drive the conveyor belt 3 to rotate, thereby transporting the seat cushion blank placed above the conveyor belt 3 from one end to the other end;

[0023] Secondly, the laser cutting module includes a U-shaped frame 6 which is arranged on both sides of the top of the support platform 1 and opens downward, and a first linear drive module 9 is installed on the top of each U-shaped frame 6. The two first linear drive modules 9 are connected by a crossbeam 8, and a second linear drive module 12 is installed on the crossbeam 8. A fixed frame 10 is installed on one side of the second linear drive module 12, and the upper and lower ends of the fixed frame 10 extend to the outside of the second linear drive module 12, and a third linear drive module 7 is installed on one side of the fixed frame 10. A laser cutting head 11 is connected to the third linear drive module 7, and the laser cutting head 11 is located above the conveyor belt 3, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the two first linear drive modules 9 move synchronously, the first linear drive module 9 drives the laser cutting head 11 to move forward and backward, the second linear drive module 12 drives the laser cutting head 11 to move left and right, and the third linear drive module 7 drives the laser cutting head 11 to move up and down, so the laser cutting head 11 has three movement dimensions of front and back, left and back, and up and down, so that the laser cutting head 11 can reach any position below it;

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a second mounting plate 20 is provided at the bottom of each U-shaped frame 6, and the second mounting plate 20 is vertically installed at the edge of the support platform 1. A telescopic mechanism 21 is installed on one side of each second mounting plate 20. The telescopic mechanism 21 is a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod. One end of each telescopic mechanism 21 passes through the second mounting plate 20 and is connected to a clamping plate 13. In the initial state, the clamping plate 13 is located on both sides above the conveyor belt 3. When the blank on the conveyor belt reaches the preset position, the telescopic mechanism 21 drives the clamping plate to clamp the blank or adjust its position to achieve the positioning effect. A guide rod 22 is symmetrically installed on one side of each clamping plate 13 close to the second mounting plate 20, and the other end of the guide rod 22 slides through the second mounting plate 20, so that the clamping plate 13 can be supported by the guide rod 22, making its movement more stable.

[0025] Further, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a control box 17 is installed on the side of one of the U-shaped frames 6. A controller is provided in the control box 17. The controller is connected to the telescopic mechanism 21 and the motor 23 through data cables. The controller is also connected to the first linear drive module 9, the second linear drive module 12 and the third linear drive module 7 through wires.

[0026] In this solution, a six-axis robot arm 4 is provided at both ends of one side of the support platform 1, a mounting platform 5 is extended from both ends of one side of the support platform 1, the six-axis robot arm 4 is installed on the mounting platform 5, and a manipulator 14 is provided at the end of the six-axis robot arm 4. The manipulator 14 is a suction cup manipulator or a grasping manipulator. The manipulator 14 and the six-axis robot arm 4 are respectively connected to the controller through wires, and the controller is a host or a PLC logic controller, etc.

[0027] The specific working process is that the six-axis robot arm 4 located at the feeding end of the plane conveyor grabs the cushion blanks in the stacking area 19 and places them on the conveyor belt. As the conveyor belt continues to move forward, the blanks reach the preset position, and then the telescopic mechanism 21 extends to drive the clamping plate 13 to clamp the blanks, and then the laser cutting head 11 cuts the blanks driven by multiple linear drive modules. However, after the cutting is completed, the finished cushion has been separated from the scraps. As the transmission belt gradually advances, when it reaches the position of another six-axis robot arm 4, the six-axis robot arm 4 picks up the finished cushions and stacks them in the stacking area, leaving the scraps on the transmission belt. The scraps will then fall from the end of the conveyor belt.

[0028] like Figure 1 As shown, a material waiting plate 15 is provided below the tail of the support platform 1 near the plane conveyor, the material waiting plate 15 extends downward at an angle, and a baffle 16 is provided at the top of the material waiting plate 15 away from the support platform. The material waiting plate 15 is connected to the support leg through a bracket, and the inclined direction of the material waiting plate 15 extends in the opposite direction of the six-axis robot arm, so that the fallen scraps are concentrated on the side away from the six-axis robot arm to prevent the accumulated scraps from affecting the operation of the six-axis robot arm.

[0029] Based on the above embodiment, further optimization can be performed by providing a pressure detector on the surface of each clamp, so that when the clamp contacts the blank, the pressure can be sensed to avoid the blank being pressed to deformation.

[0030] Based on the above embodiment, it can be further optimized by providing a brush in contact with the support platform 1 below the tail of the transmission belt, and the brush can clean the debris adhering to the conveyor belt to the material plate 15.
