Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of elevator manufacturing equipment, in particular to an elevator support beam cutting machine with an automatic tool changing function. Background Art
[0002] Existing elevator support beam cutting machines require frequent manual tool changes to accommodate beams of varying materials and thicknesses. This manual tool change is inefficient, increases downtime, and poses safety risks. Therefore, developing a cutting machine capable of automatic tool change, which would improve production efficiency and reduce the risks of manual operation, is of great practical significance. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an elevator support beam cutting machine with an automatic tool changing function. In view of the problems of low manual tool changing efficiency, long downtime, poor tool adaptability, etc. in the existing technology, the automatic tool changing system is designed to achieve rapid replacement and accurate selection of tools, so as to improve production efficiency and reduce manual intervention. It is particularly suitable for the support beam cutting process in elevator manufacturing.
[0004] The device comprises a base (1), a cutting table (2), a cutting device (3) and an automatic tool changing system (4). The core of the automatic tool changing system (4) is a tool library (41) and a tool changing robot arm (42). The tool library stores a variety of cutting tools of different materials and sizes, and each tool is fixed in the tool library through a tool holder (44). The tool changing robot arm can select a suitable tool in the tool library through a rotating joint (45) and quickly connect to the cutting head in the cutting device through a detachable quick-release interface (43).
[0005] The automatic tool changing system is controlled by a controller (5) with a built-in preset parameter library. The controller can automatically select the appropriate cutting tool according to the different materials and thicknesses of the support beams, and quickly change the tool after cutting is completed, thereby reducing the downtime of the equipment. The controller can also automatically adjust the cutting force of the tool according to the wear of the tool and the processing requirements of the workpiece to ensure the best cutting effect.
[0006] In the cutting device (3), the cutting head (31) can adjust the cutting depth and angle as needed through the lifting device (32). During the cutting process, the device is equipped with a pressure sensor (6) to monitor the cutting force of the tool in real time to ensure that the pressure applied by the tool to the support beam is always within an appropriate range to avoid damage to the tool or inaccurate cutting.
[0007] The device also includes a waste collection device (7) for collecting waste generated during the cutting process. The waste falls into the collection device through a chip discharge port below the cutting table, reducing the time and workload of manual waste cleaning and further improving the automation level of the device.
[0008] This utility model addresses the downtime caused by frequent manual tool changes in existing equipment through an automatic tool change system. The cutting device and the automatic tool change system work together to improve production efficiency and reduce the risks and workload of manual operation. Furthermore, the auxiliary functions of the pressure sensor and waste collection system significantly enhance the overall intelligence and automation level of the equipment, making it suitable for the large-scale production of support beam cutting processes in the elevator manufacturing industry.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0015] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0016] Example 1:
[0017] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the elevator support beam cutting machine of the present invention comprises a base (1), a cutting table (2) and a cutting device (3). The cutting device (3) is equipped with an automatic tool changing system (4), which is composed of a tool library (41) and a tool changing mechanical arm (42). The tool library stores a variety of tools, and the mechanical arm automatically changes the tools through a rotating joint (45), ensuring that the cutting tool can adapt to support beams of different materials and thicknesses.
[0018] The controller (5) sets preset parameters. When the need to change the tool arises, the controller controls the tool-changing robot arm to perform the tool-changing operation. The tool-changing robot arm is connected to the cutting head of the cutting device through a detachable quick-release interface (43) to quickly complete the tool change. During the cutting process, the pressure sensor (6) monitors the pressure of the tool on the workpiece to ensure safety and accuracy during the cutting process.
[0019] Example 2:
[0020] In this embodiment, an intelligent waste collection device (7) is added. The device is installed under the base and is used to collect waste generated during the cutting process. The waste falls into the waste collection device through the chip discharge port on the cutting table, reducing the frequency of manual cleaning and further improving the automation level of the equipment.
