[0035] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 2The water-guided laser cutting equipment includes a supporting steel frame 1, which is unique in that a processing base plate 2 is mounted on the supporting steel frame 1, forming a processing platform for supporting various devices. Simultaneously, a water-guiding device 3 is installed in the supporting steel plate, and the water-guiding device 3 is electrically connected to the processing base plate 2. This allows for the collection and guidance of water flow during water-guided laser cutting, facilitating unified collection and preventing contamination of the processing platform. Furthermore, to achieve displacement adjustment of the processing area and effective alignment of the workpiece to be processed with the subsequent water-guided laser device 4, a motion control device is installed on the processing base plate 2. During implementation, to achieve a suitable working height to accommodate workpieces with inherent horizontal height and prevent top interference, a lifting device 7 is also installed on the processing base plate 2. Moreover, considering the differences in the actual cutting height of different workpieces and the potential need for height adjustments during cutting to accommodate specific contours, a Z-axis processing device is installed on the lifting device 7, and the water-guided laser device 4 is mounted on the Z-axis processing device. During use, considering water splashing, and to prevent impact on other non-waterproof electrical devices, an isolation shell 5 can be connected to the supporting steel frame 1 to achieve waterproof separation. Considering the need for automated operation, an electrical control cabinet 6 is installed on the upper end of the isolation shell 5. The electrical control cabinet 6 is electrically connected to the motion control device, Z-axis machining device, and water-guided laser device 4. Thanks to the isolation shell 5, the electrical control cabinet 6 is not affected by water splashing and can achieve stable operation for extended periods.

[0037] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the supporting steel frame 1 is a multi-layer welded steel frame, with positioning frames distributed at the upper end of the multi-layer welded steel frame, into which the processing substrate 2 is embedded. This ensures the stable placement of the processing substrate 2, preventing unnecessary shaking and facilitating rapid benchmark calibration before subsequent cutting. Simultaneously, the multi-layered structure provides suitable internal space for the layout of power cables, control cables, and other wiring, as well as for appropriate storage, improving the utilization rate of space within the factory area.

[0038] Furthermore, to achieve rapid leveling and calibration laterally, and to ensure good load-bearing capacity, the processing substrate 2 includes a marble substrate with water-retaining grooves along its edges. This effectively blocks wastewater during cutting, preventing it from overflowing from the edges. Simultaneously, considering effective wastewater guidance and collection, water-guiding holes are provided on the marble substrate, which connect to a water-guiding device 3. This allows for wastewater collection using gravity without occupying surface space on the marble substrate or interfering with the layout of other components.

[0039] In practical implementation, to adjust the cutting area position according to the actual size of the workpiece and avoid cutting dead angles, the motion control device includes an X-axis drive motor 8 connected to the processing base plate 2, and a Y-axis drive motor 9 connected to the X-axis drive motor 8. This enables dual-axis adjustment. Simultaneously, a mounting plate 12 is installed on the upper end of the Y-axis drive motor 9, and a processing base 13 is mounted on the mounting plate 12. This satisfies the placement requirements of the workpiece to be processed. Furthermore, this invention can also have several positioning holes distributed on the processing base 13. Thus, for workpieces with bottom insertion positioning, they can be directly inserted into the corresponding positioning holes for positioning. Moreover, for some lower workpieces, lifting fixtures can be stably installed for positioning. Furthermore, both the X-axis drive motor 8 and the Y-axis drive motor 9 are linear motors. Therefore, a fast and precise response can be achieved.

[0040] Meanwhile, considering the need to maintain levelness after the height is raised, the lifting device 7 is a marble gantry frame. No abnormal deformation will occur under normal conditions after processing. Furthermore, the marble gantry frame is equipped with several positioning holes, into which screws on one side of the Z-axis machining device are inserted for convenient positioning. During assembly, a suitable Z-axis machining device can be selected according to actual processing requirements. Specifically, to meet stable Z-axis motion drive requirements, the Z-axis machining device includes a Z-axis linear motor 10 connected to the lifting device 7, a carrier plate 11 connected to the Z-axis linear motor 10, and a water-guided laser device 4 mounted on the carrier plate 11. For ease of implementation, the water-guided laser device 4 can be a currently available commercially available product, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0041] Furthermore, the water guiding device 3 includes a water collection box suspended from the supporting steel plate. The water collection box is equipped with an inlet conduit, which is electrically connected to the processing substrate 2. This allows wastewater remaining on the processing substrate 2 to collect, ensuring proper wastewater collection and preventing improper overflow. Simultaneously, the water collection box is also equipped with a drainage pipe, which is fitted with a control valve. Therefore, when connecting to an external drainage pipe, wastewater can be centrally discharged without removing the water collection box for emptying, improving the ease of implementation.

[0042] During use, the electrical control cabinet 6 includes a cabinet body that isolates it from the external environment, preventing the intrusion of foreign objects. The cabinet body also houses a control device with indicator lights connected to it. The control device can be an industrial computer or a microcontroller. Of course, considering different control functions and expansion needs, other commercially available control devices such as PLCs can also be used, which will not be elaborated upon here.

[0043] To facilitate material feeding and retrieval, and to allow observation of the current cutting and processing status, the isolation shell 5 includes a shell body. A maintenance window 14 is provided on the side of the shell body, and a baffle 15 is movably mounted on the maintenance window 14. Thus, the baffle 15 can be opened during material feeding and retrieval, and a transparent baffle 15 can be optionally installed for observation. Furthermore, considering convenient leveling of the equipment within the factory area, adjustable feet 16 are provided at the bottom of the supporting steel frame 1.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0045] Open the baffle 15 of the isolation shell 5 and place the workpiece to be cut on the processing base 13 belonging to the motion control device for positioning.

[0046] Then, the motion control device adjusts the workpiece to the cutting intervention position of the water-guided laser device 4 according to the preset cutting path.

[0047] Next, the Z-axis machining device attaches the water-guided laser device 4 to the first cutting intervention point for cutting standby.

[0048] Subsequently, the workpiece is cut by the water-guided laser device 4. During this process, the motion control device and Z-axis machining device can be adjusted according to the actual shape of the workpiece to meet the cutting needs of different shapes. At the same time, the wastewater generated during cutting flows into the water guiding device 3, and is either temporarily stored or centrally discharged according to the pipeline arrangement.

[0049] During processing, splashed water mist or water flow can be blocked by the isolation shell 5, preventing pollution of the factory environment.

[0050] As can be seen from the above textual description and the accompanying drawings, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0051] 1. By combining the processing substrate with the water guiding device, the processing wastewater can be temporarily stored and discharged in a unified manner, preventing wastewater overflow.

[0052] 2. Through the cooperation of the motion control device and the Z-axis machining device, three-axis control can be achieved, giving the water-guided laser device a better cutting range to meet different cutting needs.

[0053] 3. Equipped with a lifting device, it can increase the actual cutting height to meet the processing needs of workpieces with different thicknesses and heights.

[0054] 4. The use of an isolation shell can effectively prevent water mist, water droplets, etc. from overflowing, and avoid electrical components from getting damp and corroded.

[0055] 5. Configure an electrical control cabinet to meet the needs of automated operation and preset programming.

[0056] 6. The overall structure is simple and can be connected to the feeding and unloading equipment in the factory area, making it easy to use.

They are only for the purpose of facilitating the description of this utility model and simplifying the description, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or structure referred to must have a specific orientation, or to operate in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0058] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
