Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cutting, and particularly relates to an improved laser cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] Laser cutting is a processing technology that uses a laser as a cutting tool. Its principle is to use a laser beam with a high power density to irradiate the material, so that the material is quickly heated to the vaporization temperature, and then evaporates to form holes. As the laser beam moves relative to the material, these holes continuously form narrow slits to complete the cutting process.

[0003] In the technical field of laser cutting, there are some problems to be solved urgently in the existing laser cutting machines. First of all, insufficient cutting accuracy is a common problem, which is mainly due to the limited accuracy of the transmission device and the lack of precise position detection means, resulting in the laser cutting head being unable to accurately reach the predetermined position during the cutting process. Secondly, the stability of the transmission device is poor and prone to failure, which not only affects the continuity of the cutting work, but also increases the maintenance cost of the equipment. In addition, the existing laser cutting machines cannot automatically adjust the cutting parameters when cutting workpieces with different thicknesses and materials, resulting in unstable cutting quality. Finally, the degree of automation of the equipment is low, and there are many operation links that require manual intervention, which not only reduces the work efficiency, but also increases the labor cost. Summary of the Utility Model

A galvanometer is arranged inside the first detection circuit, so that the current change in the detection circuit can be detected, and further the sliding distance of the X-axis transmission assembly can be judged through the current change in the detection circuit.

[0010] According to the described improved laser cutting machine, three microswitches are installed inside the X-axis transmission assembly.

[0011] According to the described improved laser cutting machine, two second transmission devices are installed inside the Y-axis transmission assembly.

[0025] This part will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the drawings. The function of the drawings is to supplement the description in the text part of the specification, enabling people to intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but it cannot be understood as a limitation on the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Refer to Figures 1-5 In an embodiment of an improved laser cutting machine of the present utility model, it includes a support leg 1. The middle part of the support leg 1 is fixedly connected with a cutting seat 2. A plurality of fixed holes 201 are uniformly arranged inside the upper side wall of the cutting seat 2 for fixing the workpiece to be cut.

[0027] The upper end inside the support leg 1 is fixedly connected with a sliding frame 3. Two parallel horizontal axis slide bars 301 are fixedly connected inside the sliding frame 3. The sliding frame 3 is connected with an X-axis drive assembly 5 through the horizontal axis slide bars 301 in a rolling manner.

[0028] Inside the X-axis drive assembly 5, a rotating rod 502 is rotatably connected. Inside the X-axis drive assembly 5, two parallel longitudinal axis slide rods 504 are fixedly connected. The X-axis drive assembly 5 is rollingly connected to the Y-axis drive assembly 4 through the longitudinal axis slide rods 504. A laser cutting head 6 is installed on the lower side wall of the Y-axis drive assembly 4 for laser cutting. A connecting top plate 403 is fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the Y-axis drive assembly 4. A second contact piece 4031 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the connecting top plate 403.

[0029] In the present utility model, a first drive device 501 is fixedly connected inside the X-axis drive assembly 5. The output end of the first drive device 501 is fixedly connected to a first drive worm 5011. A first drive worm gear 5021 is fixedly connected to the outer side wall of the rotating rod 502. The first drive worm 5011 meshes with the first drive worm gear 5021. This worm and worm gear drive structure not only improves the transmission accuracy but also increases the stability of the transmission system. When the first drive device 501 is started, it drives the first drive worm 5011 to rotate, and then drives the rotating rod 502 to rotate through the first drive worm gear 5021. The rotation of the rotating rod 502 causes the first drive roller 5022 to roll on the horizontal axis slide rod 301, thereby driving the X-axis drive assembly 5 to slide along the horizontal axis slide rod 301. This transmission method can ensure that the X-axis drive assembly 5 remains stable during the sliding process and avoid cutting errors caused by the jitter or jamming of the drive device.

[0030] First drive rollers 5022 are fixedly connected to both the left end and the right end of the rotating rod 502. Each first drive roller 5022 cooperates with a horizontal axis slide rod 301. When the rotating rod 502 rotates, it can drive the first drive rollers 5022 to rotate, thereby driving the X-axis drive assembly 5 to slide on the horizontal axis slide rod 301. This design makes full use of the principle of rolling friction, reduces the resistance during the transmission process, and improves the transmission efficiency. At the same time, the cooperation between the first drive rollers 5022 and the horizontal axis slide rod 301 enables the X-axis drive assembly 5 to maintain a linear motion during the sliding process and avoid cutting path deviations caused by the offset of the transmission components.

[0031] One end of the rotating rod 502 is rotatably connected to a side slider 506. On the side of the side slider 506 away from the rotating rod 502, a first touch piece 5061 is provided. A first detection circuit 303 is installed on the rear side wall of the sliding frame 3. The inner side wall of the sliding frame 3 is fixedly connected to a first resistor base 302. The first detection circuit 303 is electrically connected to the first resistor base 302. The first resistor base 302 is composed of two resistor strips. The first touch piece 5061 and the two resistor strips form a detection loop. As the side slider 506 slides, the resistance of the resistor strips connected to the loop continuously changes, thereby causing the current in the detection loop to change. A galvanometer is provided inside the first detection circuit 303, so that the change in the current in the detection loop can be detected. Furthermore, the sliding distance of the X-axis drive assembly 5 can be judged by the change in the current in the detection loop. This position detection mechanism can monitor the position of the X-axis drive assembly 5 in real time, providing data support for the precise control of the laser cutting head and effectively improving the cutting accuracy.

[0032] Three microswitches 503 are installed inside the X-axis drive assembly 5. The three microswitches 503 cooperate with the left inner wall, the right inner wall of the sliding frame 3 and the Y-axis drive assembly 4 respectively. When the microswitches 503 contact the left inner wall, the right inner wall of the sliding frame 3 and the Y-axis drive assembly 4, electrical signals will be sent out, so as to facilitate the reset of the X-axis drive assembly 5 and the Y-axis drive assembly 4 and improve the laser cutting accuracy. The setting of the microswitches 503 makes it possible for the automatic operation of the equipment. When the drive assembly reaches the preset position, the microswitches 503 send out signals. After the control system receives the signals, it can automatically adjust the next action without manual intervention, improving the work efficiency.

[0033] Two second drive devices 401 are installed inside the Y-axis drive assembly 4. The output end of each second drive device 401 is fixedly connected to a second drive worm 4011. The middle of each transmission shaft 402 is fixedly connected to a second drive worm gear 4021. Each second drive worm 4011 meshes with a second drive worm gear 4021. Both ends of each transmission shaft 402 are fixedly connected to a second drive roller 4022. Each second drive roller 4022 cooperates with the longitudinal axis slide bar 504. The second drive device 401 can drive the second drive worm 4011 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission shaft 402 to rotate through the second drive worm gear 4021, and further driving the second drive roller 4022 to rotate, so that the Y-axis drive assembly 4 moves along the longitudinal axis slide bar 504. This transmission structure is similar to that of the X-axis drive assembly 5, and also adopts the principles of worm and worm gear transmission and rolling friction, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the Y-axis drive assembly 4 during the sliding process.

[0034] A second detection circuit 507 is fixedly connected to one side wall of the X-axis transmission component 5, and a second resistor holder 505 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second detection circuit 507. The second resistor holder 505 is composed of two resistor bars. The first touch sheet 5061 and the two resistor bars form a detection loop. As the Y-axis transmission component 4 slides, the resistance of the resistor bar connected to the loop changes continuously, thereby causing the current in the detection loop to change. An ammeter is provided inside the second detection circuit 507, so that the current change in the detection loop can be detected, and then the sliding distance of the Y-axis transmission component 4 can be determined by the current change in the detection loop. Similar to the position detection of the X-axis, this design provides an accurate means for position monitoring of the Y-axis transmission component 4, further improving the overall cutting accuracy of the laser cutting machine.

[0035] The sliding frame 3 is connected to the X-axis transmission assembly 5 by sliding, which improves the sliding stability of the X-axis transmission assembly 5. The X-axis transmission assembly 5 is connected to the Y-axis transmission assembly 4 by sliding, which improves the sliding stability of the Y-axis transmission assembly 4. This sliding connection design not only reduces the friction resistance during the transmission process, but also ensures the straightness of the transmission assembly during the sliding process, avoiding the transmission error caused by improper connection mode.

[0036] Working principle: When using the laser cutting machine of the utility model, first place the workpiece to be cut on the cutting seat 2 and fix it through the fixing hole 201. Then, the movement of the X-axis transmission assembly 5 and the Y-axis transmission assembly 4 is driven by controlling the first transmission device 501 and the second transmission device 401. The first transmission device 501 drives the first transmission worm 5011 to rotate, and then drives the rotating rod 502 to rotate through the first transmission worm wheel 5021. The rotation of the rotating rod 502 causes the first transmission roller 5022 to roll on the horizontal axis slide bar 301, thereby driving the X-axis transmission assembly 5 to slide along the horizontal axis slide bar 301. At the same time, the second transmission device 401 drives the second transmission worm 4011 to rotate, and drives the transmission shaft 402 to rotate through the second transmission worm wheel 4021, thereby causing the second transmission roller 4022 to roll on the longitudinal axis slide bar 504, driving the Y-axis transmission assembly 4 to slide along the longitudinal axis slide bar 504. During the sliding process of the X-axis transmission assembly 5 and the Y-axis transmission assembly 4, the first detection circuit 303 and the second detection circuit 507 respectively determine the sliding distance by detecting the current change in the loop, thereby achieving precise control of the position of the laser cutting head 6 and improving the cutting accuracy.

[0037] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
