Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cutting equipment, in particular to a fixed-length flying knife cutting machine. Background Art
[0002] In today's technological landscape, pipe cutting equipment typically relies on either discontinuous or compensatory cutting processes. However, both methods have their limitations. Due to its operating principle, discontinuous cutting makes it difficult to ensure consistent cut lengths and is prone to dimensional deviations. While compensatory cutting aims to improve accuracy through adjustments, it requires frequent recalibration to meet varying production speeds, increasing operational complexity and inevitably introducing errors in cut lengths.
[0003] Existing pipe cutting machines, particularly those designed specifically for plastic corrugated pipe, often have basic designs and lack advanced functional modules. For example, the lack of an integrated length-counting system forces users to rely on manual measurement to determine the length of each pipe segment and then perform calculations. This process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also prone to errors due to human error. More critically, these traditional cutting machines lack the flexibility to adjust to the changing production pace and quickly and continuously complete precise cutting of varying length specifications based on varying production speeds. This undoubtedly limits the overall efficiency of the production line and the consistency of product quality. Therefore, improving existing technologies and enhancing cutting accuracy and automation levels are crucial to enhancing the competitiveness of the pipe processing industry. Utility Model Content

[0022] Since the present application includes a base frame, an entry sleeve, a cutting device and an exit sleeve are sequentially installed on the base frame along the direction of travel of the corrugated tube. The inner diameter of the exit sleeve is not smaller than the inner diameter of the entry sleeve, and the entry sleeve, the exit sleeve and the corrugated tube are all coaxially arranged; the corrugated tube enters the interior of the present application from the entry sleeve, and after being cut by the cutting device, the cut corrugated tube is discharged from the exit sleeve.

[0039] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown in the figures, the present invention includes a base frame 1; an entry sleeve 2, a cutting device 3 and an exit sleeve 4 are sequentially mounted on the base frame 1 along the travel direction of the corrugated tube. The inner diameter of the exit sleeve 4 is not less than the inner diameter of the entry sleeve 2. The entry sleeve 2, the exit sleeve 4 and the corrugated tube are all coaxially arranged. In the present application, the driving force of the corrugated tube comes from an external forming machine. After the forming machine forms the corrugated tube, it pushes the corrugated tube to continue to move forward and enter the entry sleeve 2. The corrugated tube enters the interior of the present application from the entry sleeve 2. After being cut by the cutting device 3, the cut corrugated tube is discharged from the exit sleeve 4. In the present application, the entry sleeve 2 and the exit sleeve 4 are coaxially arranged to ensure the accuracy of the corrugated tube when it is cut.
[0041] A length measuring hole 21 is provided on the wall of the entry sleeve 2, and a length measuring device 5 is installed above the entry sleeve 2. The length measuring device 5 includes a length measuring wheel 51 and an encoder adapted thereto (blocked in the figure). The length measuring wheel 51 extends into the interior of the entry sleeve 2 through the length measuring hole 21 and abuts against the bellows; in the process of the bellows moving through the entry sleeve 2, the bellows will drive the length measuring wheel 51 to rotate, thereby causing the connected encoder to generate a pulse signal. The travel length of the bellows can be calculated according to the rotation period of the length measuring wheel 51. Since the length measuring wheel 51 is in direct contact with the bellows, when the travel speed of the bellows changes, the rotation speed of the length measuring wheel 51 will also be adjusted accordingly, thereby realizing accurate measurement of the length of the bellows under different speed conditions, which not only broadens the application range of the length measuring device 5, but also ensures the consistency of the cutting length and reduces errors in the cutting process.
[0042] The cutting device 3 includes a cutting knife 32 driven by a cutting power member 31. The cutting power member 31 is installed on the outside of the outlet sleeve 4. The cutting power member 31 is controlled by an encoder. The cutting power member 31 drives the cutting knife 32 to rotate to form a circular cutting surface 33. The cutting surface 33 is perpendicular to the axis of the inlet sleeve 2.
[0043] When the travel length of the corrugated tube reaches the preset standard, the cutting device 3 will start. At this time, the cutting power part 31 drives the cutting knife 32 to rotate one circle. During this rotation process, the cutting knife 32 will accurately cut the corrugated tube, thereby completing the entire cutting process. In order to ensure the cutting quality, whenever the corrugated tube needs to be cut, the cutting position always remains perpendicular to the axis of the inlet sleeve 2, which means that the cutting operation is performed strictly perpendicular to the axial direction of the corrugated tube, effectively avoiding the occurrence of bevel cutting. This not only ensures that the cross-section of the corrugated tube after cutting is completely perpendicular to its axial direction, but also helps to reduce unnecessary material waste, reduce manufacturing costs and improve the overall quality of the product.
[0044] In the present application, the cutting device 3 includes a support mechanism 34, which includes two stacked support sleeves 341 arranged in sequence along the traveling direction of the corrugated tube, and the stacked support sleeves 341 are coaxially arranged with the entry sleeve 2; one stacked support sleeve 341 is arranged close to the entry sleeve 2, and the other stacked support sleeve 341 is arranged close to the exit sleeve 4, and there is a spacing between the two stacked support sleeves 341 to form a cutting gap for the cutting knife 32 to rotate through.
[0045] After the corrugated tube comes out from the inside of the inlet sleeve 2, it first passes through the inside of two stacked support sleeves 341 when entering the outlet sleeve 4. During this process, if the travel length of the corrugated tube reaches the preset standard, it will be cut from the cutting gap by the cutting knife 32.
[0046] The stacked support sleeve 341 includes two support half-cylinders 342 arranged vertically opposite to each other, and the two support half-cylinders 342 are interlocked to form a complete stacked support sleeve 341; the support half-cylinder 342 located at the bottom is fixedly installed on the base frame 1, and the support half-cylinder 342 located at the top is rotatably installed on the base frame 1 through the rotating seat 35.
[0047] Preferably, a vertically arranged wall panel 36 is installed on the base frame 1, and the rotating seat 35 is rotatably installed on the wall panel 36 and is in the same plane with it, and the wall panel 36 is parallel to the cutting surface 33; an electronic lock 37 is installed between the rotating seat 35 and the wall panel 36, and the cutting power part 31 is installed on one of the wall panels 36.
[0048] Among them, the rotating seat 35 is a fan-shaped structure, and the electronic lock 37 includes a limit switch 371 and a limit block 372 adapted thereto. The limit switch 371 is installed on the wall panel 36, and the limit block 372 is installed on the rotating seat 35 and is arranged close to its arc-shaped edge; when the two supporting half-cylinders 342 are buckled together to form a complete stacked support sleeve 341, the limit block 372 abuts against the limit switch 371. When the two abut against each other, it means that the stacked support sleeve 341 is completely formed, indicating that cutting can be performed.
[0049] A locking handle 38 that is compatible with the wall panel 36 is installed on the rotating seat 35, which can fix the rotating seat 35 and the wall panel 36 to improve stability; at the same time, the upper support half cylinder 342 can be fixed through the rotating seat 35, so that the stacked support sleeve 341 is completely formed.
[0050] In the present application, a protective cover 11 is installed on the base frame 1, and the protective cover 11 is arranged on the outside of the cutting device 3. One end of the input sleeve 2 extends into the interior of the protective cover 11, and one end of the output sleeve 4 extends out of the protective cover 11 and is located on the outside thereof. The protective cover 11 protects the internal cutting device 3, which can not only prevent it from dust, but also protect the surrounding staff.
[0051] The length measuring device 5 includes a length measuring mounting base 52 mounted on the shield 11. The length measuring mounting base 52 is hingedly connected to one end of a rocker 53. The other end of the rocker 53 is rotatably connected to a length measuring wheel 51. The length measuring wheel 51 is synchronously connected to an encoder mounted on the rocker 53. Under the action of its gravity, the length measuring wheel 51 can fall into the length measuring through-hole 21. When the inner diameter of the inlet sleeve 2 increases to accommodate bellows with different inner diameters, the length measuring wheel 51 cooperates with the rocker 53, and can be driven by the rocker 53 to rotate upward around the hinged connection between the length measuring mounting base 52 and the rocker 53, and then continue to fall into the interior of the length measuring through-hole 21, thereby meeting the requirements for measuring the length of bellows with different inner diameters.
[0052] A control box 6 is installed on the shield 11 , the encoder is connected to the control box 6 , and the control box 6 is electrically connected to the cutting power component 31 .
[0053] The inlet sleeve 2 and the outlet sleeve 4 have the same structure, both including a cylinder 22 and a trumpet opening 23 connected to the cylinder 22 . The trumpet opening 23 faces the side close to the bellows along the traveling direction of the bellows.
[0054] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
