Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of copper and aluminum material cutting machines, and particularly discloses a separation type cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] Long workpieces (such as pipes, aluminum profiles, etc.) usually need to be cut into finished products of equal length during processing. Although fixed-length cutting can be achieved by using length rulers and positioning devices in the existing technology, the cutting accuracy is not high; the positioning operation is completed manually by workers, and its degree of automation is not high. It cannot be carried out synchronously according to different cutting requirements. Cutting of workpieces of other specifications can only be carried out after cutting is completed, which results in low work efficiency.

[0003] The patent application number is CN219900459U, which is a separate type automatic copper and aluminum cutting machine. It includes a feed rack, a base box of the feed rack, a protective shell fixedly installed on the outer edge of the upper end of the base box, a control console fixedly installed on the protective shell, and a feeding table, a tailing processing table, and a cutting table fixedly installed on the upper end of the base box. Before use, the utility model inputs and sets the corresponding cutting parameters on the control console according to the cutting needs. The feeding table feeds the materials stably according to the input data, and the cutting table can cut its materials in sequence, and the tailing processing table can perform auxiliary cutting and tailing processing. When the above device cuts steel and aluminum materials with different cutting requirements, it can only be carried out separately, and the work efficiency is low. Therefore, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to solve the above technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned existing technologies and to provide a separation cutting machine. The separation cutting machine controls the position of the pushing base through a controller according to different cutting requirements. The workpiece after cutting will fall into the first discharge port for collection. At the same time, the tail end of the workpiece can be cut by the cutting machine and the clamping assembly can be released and then fall into the second discharge port, thereby completing the separation of workpieces of different specifications. The waste generated by cutting can be placed in the residual material collection trough, thereby improving the efficiency of the cutting work.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A separate cutting machine comprises a cabinet, a cutting machine, a first discharge port, a second discharge port, a clamping assembly and a pushing assembly; the first discharge port is provided at the head end of the cabinet, and the second discharge port is provided on the side wall of the cabinet; the cutting machine is arranged on the cabinet, and the clamping assembly and the pushing assembly are also provided on the cabinet, the clamping assembly is used to fix the material, and the pushing assembly is used to push the material from the clamping assembly into the first discharge port or the second discharge port; the pushing assembly comprises a pushing rod, a pushing cylinder, a connecting seat and a pushing base, the pushing cylinder is connected to the pushing rod, the pushing rod is connected to the pushing base, the clamping assembly comprises a clamping cylinder and a clamping seat, the clamping cylinder is connected to the clamping seat, the clamping seat is fixed on the connecting seat, the entrance of the second discharge port is provided below the pushing rod, and the entrance of the first discharge port is provided below the pushing base.

[0007] Furthermore, the cutting machine includes a cutting machine cylinder, a cutting machine guard, a cutting machine movable arm, a cutting machine connecting arm, a cutting machine drive motor and a cutting machine fixed seat; the cutting machine cylinder is arranged inside the cabinet, the cutting machine cylinder is connected to the cutting machine movable arm, the cutting machine movable arm is connected to the cutting machine connecting arm, the cutting machine connecting arm is connected to the cutting machine fixed seat, and the cutting machine is fixed to the cabinet through the cutting machine fixed seat; the cutting machine guard is connected to the cutting machine connecting arm, and the cutting machine drive motor is connected to the cutting machine connecting arm.

[0008] The combined design of the cutting machine's cylinder, movable arm, and connecting arm enables precise position control and a stable motion trajectory for the cutting head, which is crucial for high-quality cutting operations, especially in applications requiring high-precision cutting. The cutter's protective cover effectively isolates the cutting area, preventing sparks and debris from flying during the cutting process and potentially harming the operator. It also protects the machine's internal structure from external contamination and damage, enhancing overall operational safety. The cutter's drive motor provides a more powerful and continuous power output than manual or traditional drive methods, ensuring efficient and stable cutting, suitable for long-term continuous operation and improving production efficiency. The various components of the cutter are connected by connecting arms. This modular design facilitates quick replacement of worn parts or position adjustment without the need for complex disassembly of the entire cutter assembly, reducing maintenance costs and shortening downtime. The cutter's fixed base can be securely mounted at different locations on the cabinet, and the flexible movable arm allows the cutting head to reach different heights and positions within the cabinet, adapting to cutting materials of various sizes and shapes, increasing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment.

[0009] Furthermore, the cutting machine driving motor is electrically connected to the cutting machine.

[0010] Direct electrical connection eliminates the need for intermediate transmission links, such as belts and gears. This reduces energy loss and ensures that the motor's driving force is transmitted to the cutting machine more efficiently and without loss, improving overall work efficiency and cutting performance. The direct electrical connection between the motor and the cutting machine simplifies the control system, making the motor respond more quickly to control signals and enabling instant adjustment of speed and torque to meet the cutting requirements of different materials and thicknesses, achieving more precise operational control. Compared with complex mechanical transmission systems, electrical connection reduces maintenance points, lowering maintenance costs and complexity. The elimination of the need for frequent replacement of transmission components improves equipment reliability and uptime. Mechanical transmission components such as gears and chains generate noise during operation, but direct motor drive significantly reduces this noise source, providing a quieter working environment for operators and meeting the comfort requirements of modern factories. The electrical connection facilitates integration into automated control systems, facilitating remote control, speed regulation, load monitoring, and other functions, facilitating intelligent production and management, and improving the flexibility and automation level of production processes.

[0011] Furthermore, a controller is also provided on the cabinet, which is electrically connected to the pushing cylinder, the clamping cylinder, the cutting machine cylinder and the cutting machine drive motor; the controller controls the actions of the pushing cylinder, the clamping cylinder, the cutting machine cylinder and the cutting machine drive motor through PLC.

[0012] PLC can be programmed and adjusted according to the needs of different cutting tasks, and it is easy to adjust cutting parameters (such as cutting speed, clamping force, etc.), adapt to the requirements of different materials and processes, and increase the flexibility and adaptability of the system. PLC systems usually have fault detection and diagnosis functions, which can promptly detect and feedback abnormal conditions in equipment operation, and even automatically take protective measures to prevent serious failures, reduce downtime and maintenance costs. PLC can also collect various data during operation (such as working cycle, energy consumption, fault records, etc.), provide a basis for subsequent production optimization, fault analysis and preventive maintenance, and help to continuously improve production efficiency and product quality.

[0013] Furthermore, fixed brackets are provided at both ends of the pusher rod, and the fixed brackets are sleeved on the pusher base.

[0014] The fixed bracket increases the contact area and connection rigidity between the push rod and the push base, which greatly improves the stability during the pushing process. It can remain stable even when pushing larger or heavier materials, avoiding shaking or deviation of the push rod and ensuring cutting accuracy.

[0015] Furthermore, the leftover material collecting trough is provided on the right side of the cabinet body, and the leftover material collecting trough is fixed to the cabinet body by bolts.

[0016] The waste material collection trough is specially used to collect the scraps and debris generated during the cutting process, so as to prevent these scraps from being scattered in the working area, facilitate quick cleaning and centralized recycling and reuse or proper disposal, keep the working environment clean, and also facilitate the recycling of resources.

[0017] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The clamping assembly and the pushing assembly enable quick and accurate material handling, reducing manual operation time and labor intensity, thereby improving production efficiency and processing capacity. The clamping assembly, driven by the pushing assembly, provides a good fixation effect for the workpiece. The pushing assembly, under the control of the controller, pushes the workpiece to a specified length. After cutting by the cutting machine, the workpiece is automatically discharged and collected through the first discharge port. The remaining workpiece can fall into the second discharge port after the clamping assembly is released, realizing the separation and collection of materials of different lengths, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the production line.

[0019] 2. The controller controls the cutting machine cylinder, pushing cylinder and clamping cylinder through PLC to achieve precise control of the workpiece with a high degree of automation. The cutting machine controls the contact between the cutting machine movable arm and the workpiece through the cutting machine cylinder to accurately control the cutting process. The cutting machine guard is installed on the cutting machine to reduce the risk of direct contact between the operator and the cutting machine. The clamping component ensures the stability of the material, avoids the safety hazards caused by the movement of materials during the cutting process, and improves the safety of the working environment.

A residual material collecting trough 13 is also provided on one side of the cabinet 1.

[0031] In one embodiment, the cabinet 1 is fixed in a designated position to ensure that the structure of the cabinet 1 is stable and placed horizontally to facilitate the installation of subsequent components. A first discharge port 11 is installed at the head end of the cabinet 1 to collect the cut workpieces; a second discharge port 12 is installed on the side wall of the cabinet 1 to receive short materials or leftover materials after cutting to ensure that the materials can slide smoothly. A transmission device is set at the rear of the cabinet 1 to send the workpiece into the clamping seat 42 of the clamping assembly 4 (the connection between the cabinet 1 and the transmission device and the workpiece transmission are existing technologies and will not be described here). The clamping assembly 4 is installed on the cabinet 1 and includes a clamping cylinder 41 and a clamping seat 42. The clamping cylinder 41 is connected to the clamping seat 42 to ensure that the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 41 can be pushed or loosened when needed to fix or release the material. The clamping seat 42 is fixed to the cabinet 1 through the connecting seat 55. This step needs to ensure that the clamping assembly 4 can be stably and correctly aligned with the pushing path. The pushing assembly 5 includes a pushing cylinder 51, a pushing rod 52, a pushing base 53 and a fixed bracket 54. The pushing cylinder 51 is connected to the pushing rod 52, and the other end of the pushing rod is fixed to the pushing base 53. The pushing base 53 is installed on the cabinet by bolts, and the fixed bracket 54 is sleeved on the pushing base 53 to enhance stability. The cutting machine 2 is fixed to the cabinet 1 through the cutting machine fixing seat 25. The controller 3 is electrically connected to the pushing cylinder 51, the clamping cylinder 41, the cutting machine cylinder 21 and the cutting machine drive motor 26, and the coordinated actions of each component are controlled by PLC programming. Fix the controller in an appropriate position on the cabinet to ensure that the cables and air pipes are neatly arranged and do not interfere with the operation of the equipment;

[0032] During use, the transmission device sends the workpiece into the clamping seat 42, the controller 3 controls the clamping cylinder 41 to clamp the workpiece, and the controller 3 controls the pushing cylinder 51 to send the workpiece to the cutting machine 2 to realize the cutting of the workpiece. After the cutting is completed, the workpiece is divided into long materials and short materials. The short materials flow out through the first discharge port 11, and the long materials flow out through the second discharge port 12. The waste materials that fail to cut are placed in the residual material collection tank 13.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 It can be seen that the cutting machine cylinder 21 of the cutting machine 2 is arranged inside the cabinet 1, the cutting machine cylinder 21 is connected to the cutting machine movable arm 23, the cutting machine movable arm 23 is connected to the cutting machine drive motor 26 through the cutting machine connecting arm 24, the cutting machine 2 is fixed on the cabinet 1 through the cutting machine fixing seat 25, and the cutting machine guard 22 is arranged on the cutter head of the cutting machine 2.

[0034] In one embodiment, first, the installation position of the cutting machine on the cabinet 1 is determined, and a suitable position is selected to fix the cutting machine fixing base 25. A hole is drilled in the predetermined position of the cabinet 1, and then the cutting machine fixing base 25 is fixed to the cabinet 1 with bolts. The cutting machine cylinder 21, serving as the driving source of the cutting head, is installed inside the cabinet 1. First, the cutting machine cylinder 21 is fixed to the preset support structure in the cabinet 1, ensuring that the installation direction of the cylinder is consistent with the movement trajectory of the cutting machine movable arm 23, and the connection port of the cutting machine cylinder 21 is connected to the air source pipeline to ensure air pressure supply. The cutting machine cylinder 21 is extended and retracted to drive the cutting machine movable arm 23 to move up and down. The cutting machine movable arm 23 is hinged to the cutting machine fixing base 25 to ensure that when the cutting machine cylinder 21 is extended and retracted, the cutting machine movable arm 23 moves up and down accordingly to perform the cutting action. The cutting machine connecting arm 24 serves as a bridge between the cutting machine movable arm 23 and the cutting machine drive motor 26 and needs to be accurately installed to ensure correct power transmission. After the cutting machine drive motor 26 is installed in a suitable position of the cabinet 1, it is connected to the cutting machine connecting arm 24 through a belt, gear or other transmission mechanism. The cutting machine drive motor 26 drives the cutter head of the cutting machine 2 to rotate, and the cutting machine guard 22 is installed on the movable arm 23. The cutting machine guard 22 should cover the exposed part above the cutter head of the cutting machine 2 to protect the operator's safety and reduce splashing and noise during the cutting process.

[0035] Reference Figure 5 It can be seen that a first discharge port 11 is provided at the front end of the cabinet 1 and a second discharge port 12 is provided at the side of the cabinet 1.

Use measuring tools to make precise marks to ensure that the positions of the first discharge port 11 and the second discharge port 12 are accurate and meet the design requirements of the overall layout of the equipment and material flow, and use an electric saw to carefully cut the openings along the marked lines. When cutting, the depth and flatness of the edges must be controlled to avoid unnecessary damage to the cabinet. At the same time, ensure that the dimensions of the first discharge port 11 and the second discharge port 12 are consistent with the design. Align the first discharge port 11 with the opening position at the head end of the cabinet and secure it with screws, welding or special fasteners. Similarly, fix the second discharge port 12 to the reserved opening on the side of the cabinet. When fixing, ensure that the discharge port is flush with the cabinet surface and is well sealed to prevent the material from getting stuck or leaking during transportation.

The pushing rod 52 and the fixing bracket 54 are installed at the side opening of the connecting seat 55. The fixing bracket 54 is mounted on the pushing base 53. The pushing rod 52 moves telescopically under the drive of the pushing cylinder 51. The connecting seat 55 drives the clamping assembly 4 to move accordingly. The clamping seat 42 drives the workpiece to the specified position. The pushing base 53 is the support and guide component of the pushing rod 52 and is fixed to the cabinet 1 by bolts. Ensure that the level of the pushing base 53 is aligned with the pushing rod 52 to ensure the linearity and stability of the pushing process. The pushing cylinder 51 is installed on the cabinet 1, one end of which is connected to the air source through an air pipe, and the other end is connected to the pushing rod 52.

[0039] Reference Figure 7 It can be seen that the clamping assembly 4 includes a clamping cylinder 41 and a clamping seat 42 , and the clamping seat 42 is slidably mounted on the connecting seat 55 .
