Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser cutting technology, specifically a fiber laser cutting machine with a material handling device. Background Technology

[0002] In modern manufacturing, higher standards have been set for the precision and efficiency of cutting and processing materials such as metals. From automobile manufacturing and aerospace to electronic equipment production, many fields require the cutting of complex shapes and high-precision parts. Fiber laser cutting machines, with their advantages of adapting to various materials and flexibly adjusting cutting parameters, play an important role in handling these complex material cutting tasks. However, at the same time, the post-cut material processing, especially the material handling process, also needs corresponding improvements and optimizations.

[0003] According to the patent application published on the Internet, a fiber laser cutting machine with a material handling device (authorization announcement number: CN221791421 U) describes "This utility model relates to the field of material handling equipment technology, specifically a fiber laser cutting machine with a material handling device, including a base, and an automatic material handling mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the base. The automatic material handling mechanism includes a support frame, a first electric push rod, a second electric push rod, and a track groove. This utility model, by setting up an automatic material handling mechanism, connects the first electric push rod to the top surface of one side of the support rod on both sides. The first electric push rod can push a horizontal plate installed on the surface of the support frame. The horizontal plate slides in the track groove on the surface of the support frame to a designated position. The second electric push rod pushes a third electric push rod installed in the middle of the surface of the horizontal plate. The third electric push rod is installed in a movable groove opened on the surface of the horizontal plate. The third electric push rod can drop the electromagnetic chuck that has reached the designated position to pick up the material, thereby achieving the function of automatic material handling and dispensing through the cooperation of the electric push rods."

[0004] Regarding the above description, the applicant believes the following problems exist: In actual production scenarios, after laser cutting machine operation, multiple materials often remain to be picked up. This device is equipped with only one electromagnetic chuck, which can only pick up one material at a time. This means that the picking action needs to be repeated frequently, limiting the improvement of overall work efficiency. The device is equipped with a first, second, and third electric push rod, designed to work together to accurately deliver the electromagnetic chuck to the designated position to complete the picking task. However, in reality, these electric push rods lack an effective linkage mechanism. They can only perform actions sequentially, that is, the next action will only start after the first action is completed. This serial working method results in waiting time between each action, making parallel operation impossible and severely affecting the picking speed. Especially when processing multiple materials, the overall work efficiency is greatly reduced because multiple position adjustments or actions cannot be performed simultaneously.

[0029] Furthermore, a groove is provided at the top of the electromagnetic chuck 512 corresponding to the position of the movable fixed frame 511. The electromagnetic chuck 512 is slidably connected inside the groove. A groove is provided at the position of the connecting rod 513 corresponding to the position of the adjusting plate 514. The end of the connecting rod 513 near the adjusting plate 514 is slidably connected inside the groove. Activating the electric push rod 515 can drive the adjusting plate 514 to move, which in turn drives the connecting rod 513 to move along the groove inside the adjusting plate 514, thereby driving the electromagnetic chuck 512 to move back and forth to complete the adjustment. The five electromagnetic chucks 512 can pick up multiple cutting materials at the same time, improving work efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, the locking assembly 52 includes a fixing rod 522 and a fixing plate 521. The fixing plate 521 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 515.

[0033] Furthermore, the material picking connecting block 64 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable fixed frame 511, and the movement of the material picking connecting block 64 will drive the movable fixed frame 511 to move.

[0034] In actual operation, when this device is used, the material is placed on the conveyor belt 2, cut by the laser cutting device 1, and then transported to the bottom of the picking rack 3. The electric push rod 515 is started, and the electromagnetic chuck 512 is moved to the required position according to the groove on the surface of the adjusting plate 514. Then the picking motor 61 is started, and the movable fixing frame 511 will move the electromagnetic chuck 512 to the picking position. The five electromagnetic chucks 512 can pick up five pieces of cut material, which increases the picking speed. After picking up the material, the material is transported to the storage box 4. When changing products, the sliding rod 523 can be pressed to move the locking bead 525 away from the fixing plate 521. At this time, the adjusting plate 514 can be replaced. The fixing spring 524 will drive the sliding rod 523 to rise, and the bottom of the sliding rod 523 will re-lock the locking bead 525 into the groove opened at the fixing plate 521 to complete the fixing.
