Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cutting equipment, in particular to a flexible track for a cutting machine. Background Art
[0002] Hydropower station penstock production and steel plate blanking typically utilize flame cutting, with options including fully automatic CNC cutting, semi-automatic cutting, trolley cutting, and manual cutting. The required cut-to-length steel plates are relatively long, necessitating extensive flame cutting during the blanking phase.
[0003] To improve efficiency, steel pipe production and cutting is performed using a combination of CNC fully automatic cutting machines and semi-automatic cutting carriages. The CNC fully automatic cutting machine cuts special-shaped pieces and determines dimensions, while the semi-automatic cutting carriage prepares the grooves. After the steel plate is sized, the track positioning lines are determined, marked, and the cutting track is placed for cutting.
[0004] The track currently used is a rigid track. When placing the cutting track, multiple tracks are spliced together. The unevenness of the spliced tracks at the splicing points will affect the accuracy of the cutting trolley passing through, thereby affecting the cutting accuracy. Utility Model Content
[0005] The utility model provides a flexible track for a cutting machine to avoid the problem of insufficient precision caused by unevenness.
[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0018] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, so as to have a further understanding of the concept of the present invention, the technical problems solved, the technical features constituting the technical solutions and the technical effects brought about.
[0019] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, a flexible track of a cutting machine includes a wire rope 7, a left clamping plate 2 and a right clamping plate 3, the right end of the left clamping plate 2 and the left end of the right clamping plate 3 are both provided with openings, and the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 are clamped on both sides of the steel plate 1; the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 are both provided with channels, and the channel direction extends from the left end of the left clamping plate 2 to the right end of the right clamping plate 3, and the lower end of the channel is connected with the opening; a first extension plate 5 is installed on the left end of the left clamping plate 2, and a second extension plate 6 is installed on the right end of the right clamping plate 3; a roller 9 is installed on the end of the first extension plate 5 away from the opening, one end of the wire rope 7 is fixedly connected to the second extension plate 6, and the other end of the wire rope 7 is connected to a counterweight block 8 by passing around the surface of the steel plate 1 and the roller 9, and the wire rope 7 is connected in the channel.
[0020] The present utility model is an improvement on the working mode of the semi-automatic cutting trolley 4. The cutting trolley 4 is mainly used in the groove preparation process, and the cutting trolley 4 needs to build a track to form a positioning line for the cutting trolley 4 to move. The current track is a rigid track. When placing the cutting track, multiple cutting tracks are spliced together. The spliced cutting tracks are uneven at the splicing points, which will affect the accuracy of the cutting trolley 4 when passing through, and further affect the accuracy of cutting. The improvement of the present utility model is to provide a flexible track to solve the above problem. The left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 are respectively clamped on the left and right sides of the steel plate 1, and the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 serve as a base for the connection of the wire rope 7. The first extension plate 5 and the second extension plate 6 are respectively installed on the side of the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 away from the opening, and the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 are extended in the direction outside the steel plate 1, and the extension facilitates the connection of the wire rope 7. One end of the wire rope 7 is fixed to the second extension plate 6, and the other end of the wire rope 7 passes through a roller 9 and is connected to a counterweight 8. This allows the wire rope 7 to be fixed to the left and right clamping plates 2 and 3 for different widths without requiring special adjustment. After the other end of the wire rope 7 passes through the roller 9 and is connected to the counterweight 8, the wire rope 7 is automatically tightened after the distance between the left and right clamping plates 2 and 3 is adjusted. A channel is provided for the wire rope 7 to pass through, and after being tightened, the wire rope 7 serves as a track for the cutting trolley 4. After the channel is provided, the wire rope 7 passes through the channel between the left and right clamping plates 2 and 3, and the lower end of the channel is connected to the opening, making it easy to adjust the wire rope 7 after it is tightened. The channel also ensures that the cutting trolley 4 can cut the entire surface of the steel plate 1 without being blocked by the left and right clamping plates 2 and 3 themselves.
[0021] Preferably, the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 are both U-shaped plates. The left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 are both U-shaped plates. The opening of the U-shaped plate is larger, the overall weight is lighter, and it is easy to adjust the position.
[0022] Furthermore, the openings of the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 are both provided with fastening bolts 10, which abut against the steel plate 1. The fastening bolts 10 are used to lock the steel plate 1 and enhance the fixing ability of the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3 to the steel plate 1.
[0023] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the first extension plate 5, the upper end surface of the second extension plate 6, and the upper end of the roller 9 are all flush with the inner wall of the upper end of the opening. When the wire rope 7 is tightened on the upper end surfaces of the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3, there is a gap between the track plane formed by the wire rope 7 and the plane of the steel plate 1. The wire rope 7 is tightened by the pull of the counterweight 8 when it is in a suspended state, but there is a slight error in the wire rope 7 guiding the cutting trolley 4 when it is in a suspended state. The upper end surface of the first extension plate 5, the upper end surface of the second extension plate 6, and the upper end of the roller 9 are all flush with the upper end of the inner wall of the opening. After the wire rope 7 passes through the channel, the wire rope 7 is tightened on the surface of the steel plate 1, and the error caused by the wire rope 7 can be made smaller.
[0024] Preferably, there are two pairs of fastening bolts 10 for the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3, and the two pairs of fastening bolts 10 are respectively installed at the inner position and the outer position of the bottom of the opening to increase the stability of the left clamping plate 2 and the right clamping plate 3.
[0025] Preferably, there are two steel wire ropes 7 and two rollers 9, and the two steel wire ropes 7 are arranged in parallel, and a track for the cutting trolley 4 to pass through is formed between the two steel wire ropes 7. The two steel wire ropes 7 can be guided on both sides of the cutting trolley 4, which is more convenient for the cutting trolley 4 to move forward.
