[0024] 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.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a clamping device for a laser pipe cutting machine, including a frame 1, a feeding mechanism 4 for conveying pipes is provided on the top of the frame 1, a protective housing 2 is installed on the top of the frame 1, the protective housing 2 is used to protect the clamping mechanism 3, and a clamping mechanism 3 for clamping pipes is provided inside the protective housing 2;
[0026] The clamping mechanism 3 includes a bearing platform 31. The bearing platform 31 is fixedly installed on the top of the frame 1. A connecting pipe 316 is slidably installed inside the bearing platform 31. One end of the connecting pipe 316 is provided with a material guiding pipe 34. The other end of the connecting pipe 316 is threadedly connected with a connecting sleeve 312. One side of the connecting sleeve 312 is provided with a plurality of elastic clamping blocks 38 that are evenly distributed in a ring shape at equal intervals. There is a gap 311 between adjacent elastic clamping blocks 38. And a tapered block 310 is provided on the outer side of the elastic clamping block 38. One side of the bearing platform 31 is fixedly connected with a guiding sleeve 37. The inner side wall of the guiding sleeve 37 is provided with an inner conical surface 314 that cooperates with the tapered block 310. The inner conical surface 314 makes the plurality of elastic clamping blocks 38 approach each other through the tapered block 310, thereby realizing the clamping of the pipe. The outer side of the material guiding pipe 34 is fixedly connected with a connecting frame 33. The top of the bearing platform 31 is fixedly connected with a support plate 32. A clamping cylinder 39 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the support plate 32. When the clamping cylinder 39 extends, the clamping cylinder 39 makes the connecting frame 33 move away from the bearing platform 31. The connecting frame 33 makes the material guiding pipe 34 move. The material guiding pipe 34 drives the connecting pipe 316 to move. The connecting pipe 316 makes the elastic clamping blocks 38 move towards the material guiding pipe 34 through the connecting sleeve 312. The tapered block 310 abuts against the inner conical surface 314 and is extruded and moved by the inner conical surface 314, so that the elastic clamping blocks 38 approach each other and move, thereby clamping the pipe. Since the inclination angle and size of the tapered block 310 are fixed, the clamping size of the elastic clamping blocks 38 is fixed, and the pipe will not be deformed by clamping. At the same time, when clamping, the clamping cylinder 39 directly drives the elastic clamping blocks 38 to move and clamp through the connecting frame 33, the material guiding pipe 34 and the connecting pipe 316. There is no complex transmission structure, and the clamping speed is faster than that of traditional pneumatic chucks. The output end of the clamping cylinder 39 is hinged to the connecting frame 33 to prevent the clamping cylinder 39 from being stuck and unable to move. The outside of the bearing platform 31 is fixedly connected with a limiting block 36. One side of the connecting frame 33 is provided with a sliding groove 35. The connecting frame 33 is slidably connected with the limiting block 36 through the sliding groove 35. The sliding groove 35 and the limiting block 36 cooperate to guide the connecting frame 33 and prevent the connecting frame 33 from shifting during movement.
[0027] Wherein, an external thread 313 is provided on the outer side of the connecting sleeve 312, and an internal thread 315 that cooperates with the external thread 313 is provided on the inner side wall of the connecting pipe 316. The connecting sleeve 312 is threadedly connected with the connecting pipe 316 through the cooperation of the external thread 313 and the internal thread 315.
[0028] Wherein, both the connecting sleeve 312 and the elastic clamping blocks 38 are slidably connected with the guiding sleeve 37.
[0029] Among them, the feeding mechanism 4 includes two guide rails 41. The two guide rails 41 are fixed on the top of the frame 1. Sliders 42 are symmetrically and slidably connected to the outer sides of the two guide rails 41. The cooperation between the sliders 42 and the guide rails 41 makes the movement of the sub-material plate 44 and the main material plate 43 more stable, preventing them from shifting. The main material plate 43 and the sub-material plate 44 are respectively and fixedly connected between laterally adjacent sliders 42. Driven shafts 46 are symmetrically and rotatably installed on the sub-material plate 44. Driven feeding wheels 45 are arranged at the tops of the two driven shafts 46. Driving shafts 419 are symmetrically and rotatably installed on the two main material plates 43. Driving feeding wheels 47 are fixedly connected to the tops of the two driving shafts 419. A bracket 410 is fixedly connected to the top of the main material plate 43. A servo motor 49 is installed on the bracket 410. The servo motor 49 rotates one of the driving shafts 419. The driving shaft 419 rotates the synchronous pulley 413. The synchronous pulley 413 rotates another synchronous pulley 413 through a synchronous belt 414. The synchronous pulley 413 rotates another driving shaft 419, so that the two driving shafts 419 rotate simultaneously. The two driving shafts 419 rotate the two driving feeding wheels 47. The rotation of the driving feeding wheels 47 conveys the pipe. The output end of the servo motor 49 is connected to one of the driving shafts 419. Synchronous pulleys 413 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the two driving shafts 419. A synchronous belt 414 is sleeved on the outer sides of the two synchronous pulleys 413. A pressure wheel 415 is installed at the bottom of the main material plate 43. The pressure wheel 415 is used to press the synchronous belt 414 to prevent slipping between the synchronous belt 414 and the synchronous pulley 413. An L-shaped plate 412 is fixedly connected to the top of the frame 1. The L-shaped plate 412 makes the sub-material plate 44 move. The sub-material plate 44 drives the rack 416 to move. The rack 416 rotates the gear 418. The gear 418 makes another rack 416 move. The rack 416 makes the main material plate 43 move, so that the main material plate 43 and the sub-material plate 44 approach or separate. The main material plate 43 and the sub-material plate 44 respectively drive the driving feeding wheels 47 and the driven feeding wheels 45 to move. The driving feeding wheels 47 and the driven feeding wheels 45 approach and clamp the pipe, so as to facilitate the conveyance of the pipe by the driving feeding wheels 47 and the driven feeding wheels 45. And the driving feeding wheels 47 and the driven feeding wheels 45 approach and clamp the pipe through the cooperation of the rack 416 and the gear 418, so that there will be no eccentricity. An adjusting cylinder 411 is installed on the L-shaped plate 412. The output end of the adjusting cylinder 411 is connected to the sub-material plate 44. An extension plate 417 is fixedly connected to one end of the L-shaped plate 412. A gear 418 is rotatably installed on the extension plate 417 through a rotating shaft. Racks 416 meshing with the gear 418 are fixedly connected to the bottoms of the main material plate 43 and the sub-material plate 44 respectively.
[0030] Among them, a wrap 48 is arranged on the outer side of the driving feeding wheel 47. The wrap 48 is made of wear-resistant fabric, which can increase the feeding stability of the driving feeding wheel 47, reduce the wear of the driving feeding wheel 47, and extend its service life.
[0031] Specifically, during use, an external feeding device conveys the pipe to between the active feeding wheel 47 and the driven feeding wheel 45. The adjusting cylinder 411 extends to move the secondary material plate 44 towards the pipe. The secondary material plate 44 drives the rack 416 to move. The rack 416 rotates the gear 418. The gear 418 moves another rack 416. The rack 416 also moves the main material plate 43 towards the pipe, thereby clamping the pipe between the active feeding wheel 47 and the driven feeding wheel 45. Subsequently, the servo motor 49 rotates the main shaft 419. The main shaft 419 rotates the synchronous pulley 413. The synchronous pulley 413 rotates another synchronous pulley 413 through the synchronous belt 414. The synchronous pulley 413 rotates another main shaft 419, so that the two main shafts 419 rotate simultaneously. The two main shafts 419 drive the two active feeding wheels 47 to rotate. The active feeding wheels 47 rotate to convey the pipe. The pipe is conveyed into the guide pipe 34. The pipe sequentially passes through the guide pipe 34, the connecting pipe 316, the connecting sleeve 312, and the elastic clamping block 38 and then extends outside the elastic clamping block 38. After extending to an appropriate length, the clamping cylinder 39 extends. The clamping cylinder 39 moves the connecting frame 33 away from the bearing platform 31. The connecting frame 33 moves the guide pipe 34. The guide pipe 34 drives the connecting pipe 316 to move. The connecting pipe 316 moves the elastic clamping block 38 towards the guide pipe 34 through the connecting sleeve 312. The conical block 310 abuts against the inner conical surface 314 and is extruded and moved by the inner conical surface 314, causing the plurality of elastic clamping blocks 38 to move closer to each other, thereby clamping the pipe. Subsequently, the pipe can be cut.
