Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of metal product processing, in particular to a cutting device for metal product processing. Background Art
[0002] In the metalworking industry, cutting is a common material removal method used to manufacture parts of various shapes and sizes. Traditional cutting equipment typically consists of a fixed machine table, a movable tool head, and some basic fixtures. However, as manufacturing demands ever-increasing precision and efficiency, traditional cutting devices have gradually emerged with a series of problems that limit their application and development potential.
[0003] Traditional cutting equipment typically features a flat work surface, lacking adequate drainage channels for the chips generated during cutting. These chips easily accumulate on the work surface, obstructing the operator's vision and potentially damaging the tool or scratching the workpiece. Manual chip removal is time-consuming and tedious, with frequent machine downtimes reducing overall production efficiency and increasing labor intensity. Without an integrated automated chip removal system, manual chip removal is required after each machining operation, increasing unproductive time. Utility Model Content

[0007] In this embodiment, a lead screw is rotatably mounted within the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail, with the ends of the lead screw having thread paths with opposite thread directions, and the two movable supports are respectively threadedly connected to the two thread paths, so that the two movable supports can slide in opposite directions or toward the center. A motor for driving the lead screw is also mounted on the outer wall of one end of the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail.
[0008] Preferably, movable support rods are detachably installed on both sides of the connecting beam and inside both ends of the H-shaped support. The H-shaped support, the connecting beam and the two movable support rods work together to support the metal plate to be cut.
[0009] Preferably, the outer walls on both sides of the H-shaped support are symmetrically provided with a plurality of threaded holes, and two opposite threaded holes at both ends of the H-shaped support are connected and fixed to adjacent movable support rods by locking bolts.
[0010] Preferably, the top surfaces of the H-shaped support, the connecting beam and the two movable support rods are all embedded with magnet blocks, and the magnet blocks are magnetically attracted to the metal plate to be cut.
[0011] This solution is preferred, and the three-axis moving module includes two U-shaped brackets symmetrically installed on the top surface of the cutting machine and inverted, a Y-axis guide rail installed on the top surface of the U-shaped bracket, an X-axis support slidably installed between the two Y-axis guide rails, an X-axis guide rail fixedly installed on the top surface of the X-axis support, and a Z-axis lifting column slidably installed on the slider of the X-axis guide rail.
[0012] Preferably, the cutting head is arranged at the bottom free end of the Z-axis lifting column.

Obviously, the embodiments described are some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0034] This embodiment discloses Figures 1 to 6 The cutting device for processing metal products shown in the figure includes a cutting machine 1. A three-axis movable module 7 is provided on the top surface of the cutting machine 1. A cutting head 8 is provided at the terminal end of the three-axis movable module 7. An H-shaped support 5 is provided below the cutting head 8 and located on the top surface of the cutting machine 1. The H-shaped support 5 is used to support the metal plate 4 to be cut and allows sufficient space below the metal plate for the debris generated by cutting to fall into the receiving cavity 9 through the discharge port 6. The metal plate 4 to be cut is fixed to the top surface of the H-shaped support 5. Discharge ports 6 are symmetrically provided at both ends of the H-shaped support 5 and located on the top surface of the cutting machine 1. The discharge ports 6 provide a channel so that the metal fragments generated during the cutting process can smoothly enter the pull-out receiving box 3. A pull-out receiving box 3 is provided below each discharge port 6 and located inside the cutting machine 1. The pull-out receiving box 3 collects the metal cutting debris that falls from the discharge port 6, facilitating the cleaning and disposal of waste. It is designed to be pull-out, which is convenient for removing and dumping waste. A Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22 is provided through one side of the H-shaped support 5. Two movable supports 25 are symmetrically slidably connected to the circumference of the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22. The two movable supports 25 slide synchronously in opposite directions or inward. The outer wall of each movable support 25 is connected to a pusher and cleaning rod 23. The two pusher and cleaning rods 23 extend into the H-shaped support 5 and are located on both sides of the connecting beam 17 of the H-shaped support 5. When the two pusher and cleaning rods 23 slide synchronously in opposite directions, they push the metal cutting debris on the top surface of the cutting machine 1 to fall from the discharge port 6 into the pull-out material receiving box 3. The H-shaped support 5 can support the metal plate 4 to be cut in a suspended manner, so that the space below the suspended metal plate 4 to be cut is convenient for the debris to fall. At the same time, the pusher and cleaning rods 23 can simultaneously clean the debris on both sides and push it into the pull-out material receiving box 3.
[0035] In this embodiment, a lead screw is rotatably mounted inside the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22. The two ends of the lead screw have threaded paths with opposite thread directions. Two movable supports 25 are threadedly connected to the two threaded paths, respectively, so that the two movable supports 25 can slide in opposite directions or toward the center. A motor for driving the lead screw is also mounted on the outer wall of one end of the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22. The Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22 provides a sliding track for the movable supports 25, allowing them to move toward or in opposite directions to remove debris accumulated on the H-shaped support 5. A pusher and cleaning rod 23 is connected to the movable support 25 and moves with the movement of the movable support 25, responsible for pushing the debris toward the discharge port 6.
[0036] A lead screw is installed inside the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22, which is driven to rotate by a motor. The two ends of the lead screw have thread paths with opposite thread directions, which enables the two movable supports 25 to move toward or away from each other according to the rotation direction of the lead screw. As the lead screw rotates, the two movable supports 25 will slide synchronously in opposite directions or toward the center on the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22. Since each movable support 25 is connected to a pusher and cleaning rod 23, the two pusher and cleaning rods will also move accordingly. When the pusher and cleaning rods 23 move along the inside of the H-shaped support 5, they will push the metal fragments generated during the cutting process to the discharge ports 6 on both sides. These discharge ports are located below the metal plate 4 to be cut and are designed as discharge slopes 10 to help guide the debris into the pull-out material receiving box 3. The pusher and cleaning rod 23 will perform reciprocating motion, that is, it will first move from one side to the other, and then move back to the starting position.
[0037] In this embodiment, movable support rods 18 are detachably installed on both sides of the connecting beam 17 and inside both ends of the H-shaped support 5. The H-shaped support 5, the connecting beam 17 and the two movable support rods 18 work together to support the metal plate 4 to be cut.
[0038] In this embodiment, multiple threaded holes 19 are symmetrically formed on the outer walls of both sides of the H-shaped support 5. Two opposing threaded holes 19 at either end of the H-shaped support 5 are connected to adjacent movable support rods 18 via locking bolts 20. The movable support rods 18 cooperate with the connecting crossbeam 17 to enhance support for the metal plate 4 being cut, ensuring stability during the cutting process. The locking bolts 20, threaded into the threaded holes 19, secure the movable support rods 18 to the H-shaped support 5, ensuring stable support for the metal plate 4 being cut. Furthermore, the support position of the movable support rods 18 can be adjusted and disassembled according to the size of the metal plate 4 being cut, thereby ensuring stable support for the metal plate 4 being cut.
[0039] In this embodiment, magnets 24 are embedded in the top surfaces of the H-shaped support 5, the connecting beam 17, and the two movable support rods 18. These magnets 24 magnetically engage the metal plate 4 to be cut. The magnets 24, embedded in the H-shaped support 5, the connecting beam 17, and the movable support rods 18, magnetically attract and hold the metal plate 4 to be cut, preventing it from moving during machining.
[0040] In this embodiment, the three-axis motion module 7 comprises two inverted U-shaped brackets 11 symmetrically mounted atop the cutting machine 1; a Y-axis guide rail 12 mounted atop the U-shaped brackets 11; an X-axis support 14 slidably mounted between the two Y-axis guide rails 12; an X-axis guide rail 15 fixedly mounted atop the X-axis support 14; and a Z-axis lifting column 16 slidably mounted on the slider of the X-axis guide rail 15. The three-axis motion module 7, including the U-shaped brackets 11, Y-axis guide rail 12, X-axis support 14, X-axis guide rail 15, and Z-axis lifting column 16, enables precise positioning and movement of the cutting head 8 along the X, Y, and Z axes to complete complex cutting paths. The Z-axis lifting column 16 can move up and down, driving the cutting head 8 toward or away from the metal plate 4 to be cut, thereby controlling the cutting depth.
[0041] In this embodiment, the cutting head 8 is disposed at the bottom free end of the Z-axis lifting column 16 .
[0042] In this embodiment, the inner walls of the two ends of the two discharge ports 6 close to each other are both provided with a discharge slope 10. The discharge slope 10 is on the inner wall of the discharge port 6 to help guide the debris to slide smoothly into the pull-out type receiving box 3.
[0043] In this embodiment, a material receiving cavity 9 for installing a pull-out material receiving box 3 is provided below the material discharge port 6 and inside the cutting machine 1 , and a handle 13 is installed on the outer wall of each pull-out material receiving box 3 .
[0044] In this embodiment, a mounting notch groove 21 for mounting the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22 is opened on the lower portion of the outer wall of one side of the H-shaped support 5, and a protective cover 2 is installed on the top surface of the cutting machine 1, and the protective cover 2 is arranged above the three-axis moving module 7.
[0045] In this embodiment, there is a power distribution cabinet inside the cutting machine 1, and the power distribution cabinet has a PLC for controlling the opening and closing of the motor of the three-axis moving module 7 and the outer wall of one end of the Y-axis two-way guide rail 22. The PLC model can be selected according to actual needs.
[0046] Working principle:
[0047] The cutting device for metal product processing places the metal plate 4 to be cut on the H-shaped support 5, ensuring that the metal plate is adsorbed and fixed by the magnet block 24 to maintain stability. The pull-out material receiving box 3 is in place and can smoothly receive the chips.
[0048] Turn on the power and control the three-axis moving module 7, which includes the U-shaped bracket 11, Y-axis guide rail 12, X-axis support 14, X-axis guide rail 15, and Z-axis lifting column 16. The Z-axis lifting column 16 adjusts the height of the cutting head 8 to bring it close to the metal plate 4 to be cut. The X-axis support 14 and Y-axis guide rail 12 work together to accurately position the cutting head 8 to the starting cutting position.
[0049] The cutting head 8 is activated and cuts along a preset path. The three-axis mobile module 7 controls the movement of the cutting head 8 in the X, Y, and Z directions according to program instructions, achieving complex cutting actions. When cutting is completed or the predetermined cleaning cycle is reached, the motor on the Y-axis bidirectional guide rail 22 is turned on. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, driving the two movable supports 25 to move toward or away from each other. The movable support 25 drives the pusher cleaning rod 23 to move along the surface of the H-shaped support 5, pushing the metal debris toward the discharge openings 6 on both sides. The discharge slide 10 helps guide the debris into the pull-out material receiving box 3 in the receiving chamber 9 below.
[0050] Periodically or when the pull-out material receiving box 3 is full, the operator can easily pull out the material receiving box by the handle 13 , empty it of waste materials and reinsert it.
[0051] After all cutting and cleaning work is completed, the power supply of the cutting machine 1 is turned off.
[0052] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or changes based on the above description, and all such improvements and changes should fall within the scope of protection of the claims attached to this utility model.
