Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal product processing technology, and more specifically, it relates to a fixing device on a tube cutting machine for metal furniture processing. Background Technology

[0002] Metal furniture is a general term for furniture made primarily of metal tubing, sheet metal, or rods, combined with wood, various engineered wood products, glass, stone, etc., as well as wrought iron furniture made entirely of metal. Metal furniture can effectively create different atmospheres for different rooms in a home, and can also make home styles more diverse and modern.

[0003] In the metal furniture manufacturing process, long sections of tubing are fixed to a fixture on a tube cutting machine. Based on the length of each section to be cut, the tubing is advanced a certain distance towards the cutting device on the machine. This allows the cutting device to cut the long section into smaller sections of the same length, meeting the dimensional requirements of metal furniture manufacturing. Metal furniture uses a wide variety of tubing types and shapes, such as round, square, and rectangular tubes. Traditionally, when switching from cutting round to rectangular tubes on a tube cutting machine, a different type of fixture is usually required to ensure the rectangular tube is stably fixed and accurately cut. However, replacing the fixture on the tube cutting machine requires preparing a different fixture, increasing operating costs. Furthermore, disassembling the old fixture and installing the new one is time-consuming and labor-intensive, reducing cutting efficiency. Additionally, mastering the new fixture's method of fixing the tubing is also necessary, making it inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixing device for a tube cutting machine used in metal furniture processing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A fixing device for a pipe cutting machine used in metal furniture processing includes a mounting platform installed on the pipe cutting machine. The mounting platform is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder, a clamping component, and a positioning component. The hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the mounting platform.

[0007] The positioning component includes a positioning tube that mates with the pipe and a positioning screw for fixing the pipe. The positioning tube is connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, and the fixing tube has a threaded hole for threaded connection with the positioning screw. One end of the positioning screw extends into the positioning tube and abuts against the surface of the pipe.

[0008] The clamping component corresponds to the cutting device on the pipe cutting machine. The clamping component includes a mounting base installed on the mounting platform and a fixed seat movably connected to the mounting base. The mounting base is provided with a first chamber, and the fixed seat is provided with a second chamber that cooperates with the first chamber.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The embodiments of this utility model will be further described below.

[0020] A fixing device for a pipe cutting machine used in metal furniture processing includes a mounting platform 1 installed on the pipe cutting machine. The mounting platform 1 is equipped with a hydraulic cylinder 2, a clamping component 3, and a positioning component 4. The hydraulic cylinder 2 is mounted on the mounting platform 1.

[0021] Positioning component 4 includes a positioning tube 5 that mates with pipe 02 and a positioning screw 6 for fixing pipe 02. The positioning tube 5 is connected to the output end of hydraulic cylinder 2. The fixing tube has a threaded hole 7 that is threaded to the positioning screw 6. One end of the positioning screw 6 extends into the positioning tube 5 and abuts against the surface of pipe 02.

[0022] The clamping component 3 corresponds to the cutting device 01 on the pipe cutting machine. The clamping component 3 includes a mounting base 8 mounted on the mounting platform 1 and a fixed seat 9 that cooperates with the mounting base 8. A fixed rod 12 is mounted on the mounting base 8. An adjusting tube 13 is threadedly connected to the fixed rod 12. A rotating rod 14 connected to the adjusting tube 13 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 9. The rotating rod 14 is rotatably connected to the fixed seat 9 through a bearing. A first chamber 10 is provided on the mounting base 8, and a second chamber 11 that cooperates with the first chamber 10 is provided on the fixed seat 9. The pipe 02 passes through the first chamber 10 and the second chamber 11. Movable grooves 15 are opened on the inner wall of the first chamber 10 and the inner wall of the second chamber 11. Positioning beads 16 that movably connect to the surface of the pipe 02 are movably connected in the movable grooves 15.

[0023] Working Principle: For fixing circular or rectangular tubes 02, both ends of tube 02 are fixed by positioning elements 4 and clamping elements 3. Specifically, both ends of tube 02 are placed in positioning tube 5 and the first chamber 10 of mounting base 8, respectively. The tube 02 placed in the first chamber 10 abuts against the positioning bead 16 inside the first chamber 10. When the positioning screw 6 is rotated, one end of the positioning screw 6 abuts against the surface of tube 02, thereby fixing one end of tube 02 in the positioning tube 5. In conjunction with rotating the adjusting tube 13, it moves towards the mounting base 8. The rotation of the adjusting tube 13 drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate and move towards the mounting base 8, thereby moving the fixing seat 9, which is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 14, towards the mounting base 8. This causes the positioning bead 16 in the second chamber 11 to abut against the surface of tube 02. Then, the fixing seat 9 and the mounting base cooperate to clamp and fix the other end of tube 02 in the first chamber 10 and the second chamber 11. The fixing method for circular or rectangular tubes 02 is the same, and the specific operation is as described above.

[0024] The hydraulic cylinder 2 drives the positioning tube 5 to move towards the clamping member 3, thereby moving the pipe 02 towards the cutting device 01 of the pipe cutter. At this time, the positioning bead 16, which is in contact with the surface of the pipe 02, moves in the movable groove 15. As the pipe 02 moves, the positioning bead 16 rolls on the surface of the pipe 02 without affecting the movement of the pipe 02 towards the cutting device 01 of the pipe cutter. This facilitates the cutting device 01 on the pipe cutter to cut the fixed circular or rectangular pipe 02 in segments. Both the positioning member 4 and the clamping member 3 fix both ends of the pipe 02, which helps to improve the stability of the pipe 02 when it is being cut. This allows for the fixing of the circular or rectangular pipe 02. When the pipe cutter switches from cutting the circular pipe 02 to cutting the rectangular pipe 02, there is no need to replace it with a new fixing device, saving time and effort, improving cutting efficiency, and reducing cutting costs. Moreover, the method of fixing the circular pipe 02 and the method of fixing the rectangular pipe 02 are the same, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0025] One end of the positioning screw 6 is fitted with a pressing plate 17 that abuts against the surface of the pipe 02. The pressing plate 17 is arc-shaped. Rotating the positioning screw 6 prevents the pressing plate 17 from contacting the pipe 02, thus securing the pipe 02 inside the positioning tube 5. The arc shape of the pressing plate 17 facilitates better contact with the circular pipe 02 with its arc-shaped surface, which helps to better secure the circular pipe 02. Furthermore, the arc-shaped pressing plate 17 abuts against the two corners of the rectangular pipe 02, which helps to better secure the rectangular pipe 02.

[0026] Rubber pads 18 are installed on the inner wall of the positioning tube 5 and on the pressing plate 17. When the positioning screw 6 is rotated to press the tube 02 and fix it, the pressing plate 17 contacts the surface of the tube 02. The rubber pads 18 on the pressing plate 17 prevent damage to the surface of the tube 02. When the positioning screw 6 is rotated to fix the tube 02, the tube 02 squeezes the rubber pads 18, causing the rubber pads 18 to deform and fit against the surface of the tube 02 fixed inside the positioning tube 5. This allows both round and rectangular tubes 02 to be better fixed inside the positioning tube 5 and further prevents damage to the surface of the tube 02.

[0027] The installation platform 1 has a material feeding channel 101. Below the platform of the installation platform 1 is a receiving box 19 corresponding to the material feeding channel 101. The cut small sections of pipe fall into the receiving box 19 through the material feeding channel 101 for collection. This makes collection convenient, improves practicality, and avoids the safety risks that require workers to approach the cutting device 01 of the pipe cutting machine to pick up the small sections of pipe.

[0028] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any ordinary changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technical solution of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
