Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of plate cutting, in particular to an air suction pipe device of a plate laser cutting machine. Background Art
[0002] Laser cutting uses a high-power density laser beam to irradiate the material being cut, quickly heating the material to its vaporization temperature and evaporating to form holes. As the beam moves across the material, the holes continuously form narrow slits, completing the cutting of the material. When using laser to cut sheet metal, it is very easy to produce fine particles and smoke, etc. At this time, a suction pipe is needed to remove them. However, existing suction pipes often get stuck and need to be improved.
[0003] In the technical solution disclosed in the Chinese patent with authorization announcement number CN220921234U, after the air enters the interior of the suction pipe, it will pass through the inside of the filter plate, and the filter plate will intercept the fine particles (dust) in the air. When the inside of the filter plate is full of dust, the top cover on the top of the suction pipe is removed, and then the nut at the top of the threaded rod is unscrewed, and the connecting plate is rotated outward to separate it from the threaded rod, and the filter plate is pulled out from the inside of the fixed rod, which facilitates the cleaning of the fine particles (dust) on the outside of the filter plate, so as to solve the problem in the prior art that the particles generated during the cutting process are very easy to fall and adhere to the pipe wall to cause blockage.
[0004] However, the device still has some shortcomings: the filter plate needs to be removed for cleaning, and during the use of the device, due to the large amount of dust and other particulate matter, if it is not cleaned in time, the filter plate will be blocked. However, frequent cleaning requires shutdown operations, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. At the same time, the retained materials accumulated in the hopper of the device need to be shut down before they can be discharged. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0023] Example 1
[0024] like Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the present invention proposes an air suction duct device for a sheet metal laser cutting machine, comprising a chassis, a filter cartridge 8, an annular scraper 12, and a power assembly. A cylindrical cavity 101 is provided in the chassis, an air intake duct 2 is provided on the side wall of the chassis, and the side wall of the cylindrical cavity 101 is provided with an annular groove 102 with a gradually narrowing bottom opening. The annular groove 102 is located above the nozzle of the air intake duct 2. When the annular scraper 12 moves upward, the dirt scraped off falls on the annular scraper 12 and then enters the annular groove 102. The dirt automatically slides down along the annular groove 102 and the inclined surface of the annular scraper 12 to the bottom of the annular scraper 12. A drain pipe 3 is provided at the bottom of the chassis, which is connected to the cylindrical cavity 101. A solenoid valve 4 is provided in the drain pipe 3. An air duct 6 is provided at the top of the chassis, which is connected to the cylindrical cavity 101. The air duct 6 is connected to the exhaust pipe 7. The filter cartridge 8 is located in the cylindrical cavity 101 and is connected to the chassis. An air flow channel is provided between the filter cartridge 8 and the side wall of the cylindrical cavity 101, and the bottom of the filter cartridge 8 is located below the nozzle of the air inlet pipe 2. A smooth closed cylindrical tube is provided at the bottom of the filter cartridge 8, and the inner cavity of the filter cartridge 8 is connected to the exhaust pipe 7. The outer diameter of the upper end of the annular scraper 12 is smaller than the outer diameter of the lower end, so as to form a smooth inclined surface on its circumference for guiding the material downward. The annular scraper 12 is sleeved on the outside of the filter cartridge 8 and is slidably connected to its arc surface. The outer edge of the annular scraper 12 is in contact with the inner wall of the cylindrical cavity 101. The power assembly includes a rotating shaft 10, a reciprocating screw 13 and a toothed belt 16. The rotating shaft 10 is rotatably connected to the filter cartridge 8. The top end of the rotating shaft 10 extends into the air duct 6, and the top end of the rotating shaft 10 is coaxially connected to the impeller 11, and the bottom end of the rotating shaft 10 is coaxially connected to the double-groove pulley 15. Two sets of reciprocating screws 13 are located on either side of the exterior of the filter cartridge 8 and are parallel to the radial direction of the filter cartridge 8. Each end of the reciprocating screw 13 is rotatably connected to a mounting plate, which is connected to the outer wall of the filter cartridge 8. Each reciprocating screw 13 on either side passes through an annular scraper 12, and the shuttles on each reciprocating screw 13 are connected to the annular scraper 12. Each reciprocating screw 13 on either side is coaxially connected to a single-groove pulley 14, which is connected to a double-groove pulley 15 via a toothed belt 16. When in operation, the power assembly drives the annular scraper 12 to rise and fall back, scraping debris from the surface of the filter cartridge 8 downward and pushing it toward the sewage pipe 3. A detector 17 is provided within the chassis for detecting the movement of the annular scraper 12. The detector 17 includes, but is not limited to, a proximity sensor, which is electrically connected to a controller, which is electrically connected to the solenoid valve 4.
[0025] In this embodiment, the exhaust pipe 7 is connected to the air intake end of the external fan, and the air intake pipe 2 is connected to the air collecting hood on the laser cutting machine. When the fan is started, the smoke and particles generated by the cutting machine follow the air flow along the air intake pipe 2 into the cylindrical cavity 101. At this time, the particles and other impurities are intercepted by the filter cartridge 8, and the air enters the air guide pipe 6 and is discharged from the exhaust pipe 7. The flowing air drives the impeller 11 to rotate, and then drives the rotating shaft 10 to rotate, and then drives the reciprocating screw 13 to rotate through the toothed belt 16. The reciprocating screws 13 on both sides synchronously drive the annular scraper 12 to reciprocate up and down in the same direction. When the annular scraper 12 slides down, The dirt adsorbed on the outside of the filter cartridge 8 is directly scraped off. As the annular scraper 12 continues to slide down and reaches the smooth closed section at the bottom of the filter cartridge 8, the detector 17 detects the annular scraper 12, and the controller controls the solenoid valve 4 to open. At this time, the dirt in the independent space below the annular scraper 12 is directly discharged along the sewage pipe 3. Then the annular scraper 12 continues to slide down and reaches the lowest position, then slides in the opposite direction and gradually rises. When the detector 17 detects the annular scraper 12 again, the controller controls the solenoid valve 4 to close, and then the annular scraper 12 rises to the highest position and slides down again. This cycle is repeated to achieve self-cleaning and automatic sewage discharge without stopping the machine.

[0028] In this embodiment, when the filter cartridge 8 needs to be replaced or the power assembly needs to be repaired, it is only necessary to rotate the end cover 5 to remove the end cover 5, and then pull out the filter cartridge 8 as a whole. The operation is simple and convenient, and the slot 901 on the limit ring 9 and the block 104 in the short slot 103 effectively limit the rotation of the filter cartridge 8 to prevent it from rotating with the rotating shaft 10.
