Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser cutting, in particular to a plate laser cutting device for automobile manufacturing. Background Art

[0002] Sheet metal laser cutting equipment plays a vital role in the automotive industry. Leveraging the high energy and precise focusing of the laser beam, these machines can efficiently and accurately cut sheet metal, ensuring that the precision and quality of components in the automotive manufacturing process meet stringent standards.

[0003] However, the heat and debris generated during laser cutting cannot be ignored. During laser cutting, a high-energy laser beam illuminates the sheet, causing it to partially melt or vaporize. This process, while cutting, also causes the internal temperature of the equipment to rise accordingly. To effectively address this heat issue, modern laser cutting equipment is typically equipped with an efficient cooling system. This system, through circulating cooling water or other media, effectively absorbs and removes the heat generated by the laser and the cutting process, ensuring stable operation.

[0004] Furthermore, the debris generated during laser cutting also requires effective disposal. Under the laser beam, the sheet metal rapidly melts or vaporizes, forming tiny metal particles or gaseous substances. If this debris is not removed promptly, it will accumulate in the cutting area, affecting the laser beam's effectiveness and potentially causing wear and clogging of the equipment. Therefore, laser cutting equipment is typically equipped with a debris removal system to ensure a smooth cutting process. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a plate laser cutting device for automobile manufacturing, which can effectively solve the problems raised in the background technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] In this utility model, a large amount of debris is inevitably generated during the cutting process of automotive sheet metal. To effectively address this problem, we have adopted an additional blowing device.

[0024] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods. Example

[0025] A plate laser cutting device for automobile manufacturing, including core components such as a column 1, a crossbeam 2, an adjustment manipulator 3, a laser cutter 4, a cutting and placing table 5, a positioning component 6, a chip removal bucket 7 and a chip removal pipe 9. Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, the device realizes efficient and accurate plate cutting operation through ingenious structural design.

[0026] First, the adjustment manipulator 3 is mounted on the column 1 via the crossbeam 2, forming a stable working platform. The laser cutter 4 is mounted on the adjustment manipulator 3. By adjusting the manipulator 3's flexible movements, the laser cutter 4 can change its position and angle to accommodate cutting requirements for sheet metal of varying shapes and sizes. This design enables the device to handle a wide range of automotive sheet metal cutting tasks.

[0027] Next to the upright 1 is a cutting table 5 for placing the sheet material to be cut. A positioning assembly 6 is mounted on the cutting table 5, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the sheet material during the cutting process through precise positioning. A chip bucket 7, located at the bottom of the cutting table 5, collects debris generated during the cutting process, maintaining a clean work environment.

[0028] The chip removal duct 9 is connected to the chip removal bucket 7, forming a complete chip removal system. A built-in blower 10 is connected to the tail end of the chip removal duct 9. This blower blows the chips in the chip removal duct 9, allowing them to flow and be discharged smoothly, effectively preventing chip blockage and accumulation.

[0029] In addition, the device is also designed with a unique heat dissipation system. A secondary pipe 11 is set between the chip removal duct 9 and the column 1, and an air outlet 12 aligned with the secondary pipe 11 is provided on the side wall of the column 1. A second connecting ring 14 is installed inside the air outlet 12 and the secondary pipe 11, and a filter cover 15 is provided at the inner end of the ring to prevent debris from entering the heat dissipation system. The wind blown out by the added hair dryer 10 can not only promote the flow of debris, but also enter the column 1 through the secondary pipe 11, driving the heat in the column 1 to quickly flow out from the air outlet 12, thereby improving the overall heat dissipation effect of the device.

[0030] Bolts secure the second connecting ring 14 to the filter screen 15, ensuring structural stability and reliability. A threaded connection connects the second connecting ring 14 to the secondary pipe 11, facilitating disassembly and maintenance. The outer wall of the filter screen 15 rests snugly against the secondary pipe 11, ensuring maximum filtration efficiency.

[0031] A valve is also provided on the auxiliary pipe 11. By controlling the switch of the valve, the opening and closing operation between the auxiliary pipe 11 and the chip removal pipe 9 can be realized. The diameter of the auxiliary pipe 11 is consistent with the diameter of the air outlet 12 to ensure smooth circulation of the air volume.

[0032] The added blower 10 is fixed to the tail end of the chip removal duct 9 by fasteners such as flanges, bolts, nuts and gaskets to ensure its stability and safety during operation.

[0033] The device is also designed with a convenient disassembly structure. A rotating rod is provided in the middle of the end face of the second connecting ring 14. By rotating the rotating rod, the second connecting ring 14 and the filter screen cover 15 can be easily taken out for easy cleaning and replacement. Example

[0034] Based on Example 1, Example 2 further optimizes and improves the sheet metal laser cutting device for automobile manufacturing. In addition to retaining the original core components such as the column 1, crossbeam 2, adjustment manipulator 3, laser cutter 4, cutting and placement table 5, positioning assembly 6, chip bucket 7, and chip removal duct 9, a new heat dissipation structure and disassembly method are added.

[0035] First, a first connecting ring 13 is installed at the air outlet 12. This first connecting ring 13 is tightly threaded onto the air outlet 12, enhancing the stability and sealing of the device. Furthermore, a spoiler 16 is positioned between the first connecting ring 13 and the second connecting ring 14. The two ends of the spoiler 16 are respectively attached to the first connecting ring 13 and the second connecting ring 14 via bearing assemblies 17. This allows air to flow more smoothly through the air outlet 12, improving heat dissipation.

[0036] In addition, to facilitate disassembly and maintenance, a rotating rod is provided in the middle of the first connecting ring 13 and the second connecting ring 14. By rotating the rotating rod, the first connecting ring 13, the second connecting ring 14, the spoiler 16 and other components can be easily removed from the auxiliary pipe 11, simplifying the maintenance process.

[0037] In summary, by adding components such as the first connecting ring 13, spoiler 16, and bearing assembly 17, Example 2 further optimizes the device's heat dissipation and enhances ease of disassembly and maintenance. At the same time, the device retains its original efficient and precise sheet metal cutting capabilities, providing reliable equipment support for the automotive manufacturing industry.

[0038] During the automotive manufacturing process, workers place the sheet metal to be cut on the cutting table 5. Positioning components 6 precisely position the sheet metal during cutting, ensuring stability and accuracy. Robot arm 3 then adjusts the laser cutter 4 to the desired position according to the pre-set cutting path.

[0039] When laser cutter 4 is activated, a high-energy laser beam begins to focus on the surface of the sheet, generating intense heat that partially melts and vaporizes the sheet, thus achieving cutting. Guided by the regulating manipulator 3, laser cutter 4 moves along a preset path, precisely cutting the sheet into the desired shape and size.

[0040] During the cutting process, the generated debris will fall into the chip bucket 7 below the cutting table 5. At this time, the installed blower 10 starts working, blowing the debris through the chip discharge pipe 9, making it flow and discharge smoothly, avoiding blockage and accumulation of debris.

[0041] At the same time, the air blown by the additional blower 10 also enters the interior of the column 1 through the auxiliary pipe 11, and the heat in the column 1 is quickly discharged from the air outlet 12. This heat dissipation process effectively reduces the temperature of the column 1 and improves the overall stability and service life of the device.

[0042] Through continuous optimization and improvement, this laser cutting equipment achieves efficient and precise operation during the automotive sheet metal cutting process. The addition of components such as the add-on blower 10 and auxiliary pipe 11 not only improves chip removal efficiency but also enhances heat dissipation, providing a more reliable and stable sheet metal cutting solution for the automotive manufacturing industry.
