Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of profile cutting technology, and specifically relates to an automatic self-aligning mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Laser cutting is an advanced and widely used cutting technology in materials processing. It is a processing method that uses a high-energy-density laser beam as a "cutting tool" to thermally cut materials. Laser cutting technology can be used to cut various metals, non-metallic sheets, composite materials, etc., and has a wide range of applications in various fields. Laser cutting uses a focused laser beam to irradiate the workpiece, causing the material at the irradiated area to rapidly melt, vaporize, ablate, or reach its ignition point. At the same time, a high-speed gas flow coaxial with the beam removes the molten material, thereby cutting the workpiece. Laser cutting is one of the thermal cutting methods.

[0003] Currently, there are many types of cutting equipment on the market. Some existing equipment can perform circular cutting of profiles. During cutting, the center of the profile needs to be adjusted to be on the same axis as the cutting center of the circular cutting equipment to achieve the cutting process. However, most current circular cutting equipment achieves the cutting function by adjusting the up, down, left, and right positions of the profile to align with the cutting center of the circular cutting equipment. But some factors make it inconvenient to move the profile (e.g., the profile is too heavy, or the rear of the profile is not easy to support, making it difficult to move the profile), which makes it impossible to cut the profile.

[0004] For example, a profile cutting machine with patent application number CN201510950108.1 discloses that "the cutting execution component is located on the XY cutting feed mechanism, the XY cutting feed mechanism is located at the end of the rotating fixed plate mechanism, and the rotating fixed plate mechanism and the clamping mechanism are arranged sequentially on the mounting base; the rotating head mechanism includes a rotating fixed plate and a fixed plate rotation drive device for driving the rotating fixed plate to rotate, and a workpiece hole for the workpiece to pass through is provided at the center of the rotating fixed base; the XY cutting feed mechanism is a motion mechanism in both X and Y directions, and it is located on the rotating fixed plate, on one side of the workpiece hole." Its advantages are: scientific structure. Easy to manufacture; the three-axis motion mechanism can cut round, square, or irregularly shaped workpieces, can be CNC controlled, has high cutting accuracy and a high degree of automation; the cut is smooth and of high quality; the clamping mechanism only needs one motor to achieve synchronous clamping action and automatic alignment with the center line; overall, it reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency. While the above structure can achieve automatic positioning of the profile, the method of finding the cutting center of the cutting equipment still relies on adjusting the profile to ensure that the profile's center and the cutting equipment's cutting center are on the same axis; for some cutting equipment where profile movement is inconvenient, it still cannot achieve the profile cutting function.

[0005] To solve the above problems, we provide an automatic self-aligning mechanism that can achieve alignment with the central axis of the profile by adjusting the cutting center of the cutting equipment. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automatic self-aligning mechanism.

[0007] The purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: an automatic self-aligning mechanism includes a base, on which a movable plate is provided that can move up, down, left, and right, and a rotating cylinder is provided on the movable plate. The rotating cylinder can rotate relative to the movable plate around its own central axis; a cutting head is provided on the rotating cylinder that can move up, down, left, and right.

[0008] Furthermore, a horizontal sliding plate is provided on the base that can move left and right. The sliding plate is located on the horizontal sliding plate and can move up and down relative to the horizontal sliding plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a drive motor is provided on the rear side of the movable plate, which drives the rotating drum to rotate.

[0010] Furthermore, the rotating drum is provided with a transverse frame, which can move left and right relative to the rotating drum. A connecting plate is provided on the transverse frame, which can move up and down relative to the transverse frame. The cutting head is mounted on the connecting plate.

[0011] When this utility model is in use, the profile passes through the right side of the device and through the rotating drum. The position of the rotating drum can be adjusted according to the position of the profile so that the center of the rotating drum and the center of the profile are on the same axis. That is, when adjusting the position of the rotating drum, the controller controls the first drive mechanism to move the horizontal plate left and right, and at the same time controls the second drive mechanism to move the moving plate up and down, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the rotating drum.

[0012] When the profile needs to be cut, the drive motor is controlled to drive the drive gear to rotate, which in turn drives the meshing driven gear to rotate. The driven gear is fixedly connected to the rotating drum, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating drum.

[0013] By controlling the drive mechanism three to move the transverse frame left and right, and by driving the connecting plate up and down, the cutting head can be moved to any position on the cutting surface, thus achieving cutting at any position on the profile cutting surface.

[0014] Beneficial effects: This application enables the rotation of the drum to achieve the alignment of the drum's center with the profile's central axis, changing the traditional method of aligning the profile with the drum's central axis by controlling the profile. This technical solution does not affect the interference between the cutting head and the profile while aligning the profile through the drum, nor does it affect the subsequent cutting process. The same structure can be used to locate the center of profiles that are not conducive to vertical or horizontal movement, thus facilitating subsequent cutting. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Example 1, such as Figure 1 As shown in Figure 8, the purpose of this utility model is achieved as follows: an automatic self-aligning mechanism includes a base 1, on which a movable plate 4 is provided that can move up, down, left and right, and a rotating cylinder 6 is provided on the movable plate 4. The rotating cylinder 6 can rotate relative to the movable plate 4 around its own central axis; a cutting head 7 is provided on the rotating cylinder 6 that can move up, down, left and right.

[0026] A horizontal sliding plate 3 is mounted on the base 1 and can move left and right. A movable plate 4 is located on the horizontal sliding plate 3 and can move up and down relative to the horizontal sliding plate 3. A drive motor 11 is mounted on the rear side of the movable plate 4, and the drive motor 11 drives the rotating drum 6 to rotate. A horizontal sliding frame 9 is mounted on the rotating drum 6 and can move left and right relative to the rotating drum 6. A connecting plate 10 is mounted on the horizontal sliding frame 9 and can move up and down relative to the horizontal sliding frame 9. The cutting head 7 is mounted on the connecting plate 10.

[0027] A drive mechanism 2 is installed on the base 1, which drives the horizontal sliding plate 3 to move left and right. A drive mechanism 5 is installed on the horizontal sliding plate 3, which drives the moving plate 4 to move up and down.

[0028] The rotating drum 6 is equipped with a third driving mechanism 8, which drives the transverse frame 9 to move left and right relative to the rotating drum 6. The transverse frame 9 is equipped with a fourth driving mechanism, which drives the connecting plate 10 to move up and down relative to the transverse frame 9.

[0029] In use, the profile passes through the right side of the device and through the rotating drum 6. The position of the rotating drum 6 can be adjusted according to the position of the profile, ensuring that the center of the rotating drum 6 and the center of the profile are on the same axis. Specifically, when adjusting the position of the rotating drum 6, the controller controls drive mechanism 2 to move the transverse plate 3 left and right, and simultaneously controls drive mechanism 5 to move the moving plate 4 up and down, thereby achieving the adjustment of the position of the rotating drum 6. The controller is existing technology and only needs to be able to control the aforementioned drive components and achieve the above functions; further technical details are omitted.

[0030] When the profile needs to be cut, the drive motor 11 is controlled to drive the drive gear 13 to rotate, and the drive gear 13 drives the meshing driven gear 12 to rotate. The driven gear 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating drum 6, thereby realizing the rotation of the rotating drum 6.

[0031] By controlling the drive mechanism 38 to drive the transverse frame 9 to move left and right, and by driving the connecting plate 10 to move up and down, the cutting head 7 can be moved to any position on the cutting surface, thus achieving cutting at any position on the profile cutting surface.

[0032] The drive mechanism and drive motor 11 described in this application are existing technologies. As long as they can achieve the functions required by the above technical solutions, they can be replaced by technical solutions with the same technical effect. No technical restrictions are imposed.
