Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic loading device for a horizontal sawing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the operating method of horizontal CNC automatic sawing machines on the market is as follows: a worker first loads a 2-3 meter long piece of material onto the machine, sets the cutting length and parameters, and the sawing machine automatically cuts the entire piece of material until it is completely cut. This type of CNC automatic sawing machine cannot automatically reload; once the entire piece of material is cut, the machine must stop and wait for new material. A worker needs to load another piece of material to achieve short-term automatic cutting. When cutting softer materials such as plastic rods, the cutting speed is very fast, and a piece of material is cut quickly, requiring frequent manual reloading. If reloading is not timely, the automatic sawing machine will face long downtime, which is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also results in low production efficiency.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. This embodiment is based on the technical solution of the present invention and provides detailed implementation methods and specific operating procedures; however, the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.

[0026] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0027] The following detailed description of some embodiments of the present invention is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0028] In the following embodiments, unless otherwise specified, the functional components or structures are conventional components or structures used in the art to achieve the corresponding functions.

[0029] Example 1:

[0030] like Figure 1-3 The diagram shows an automatic loading device for a horizontal sawing machine, comprising a loading rack assembly 1 located on one side of the automatic sawing machine 6 for placing the material 7 to be cut; a loading cylinder assembly 4 located at the bottom of the loading rack assembly 1 for limiting the material 7 to be cut; a push cylinder assembly 2 located at one end of the loading rack assembly 1 away from the automatic sawing machine 6 for pushing the material 7 to be cut to the clamping position of the automatic sawing machine 6; and a robotic arm 8 for placing the material 7 to be cut on the loading rack assembly 1.

[0031] The feeding rack assembly 1 includes a flat support 1-1 and an inclined support 1-2 disposed on one side of the flat support 1-1, and the flat push cylinder assembly 2 is disposed at one end of the flat support 1-1.

[0032] In this technical solution, since the loading rack assembly 1 has a structure that slopes down to a flat surface, after the material 7 to be cut is placed on the loading rack assembly 1, it will automatically move downwards from the slope to the flat surface due to gravity. Then, the horizontal push cylinder assembly 2 pushes the material 7 to be cut to the clamping position of the automatic saw 6. The automatic saw 6 is a common device on the market. Its operation involves clamping the material 7 to be cut in the clamping position with clamps and feeding it into the cutting position. Finally, the automatic saw 6 automatically cuts it into pieces. The loading cylinder assembly 4 is used to limit the material 7 to be cut, preventing it from frequently rolling down from the slope to the flat surface and affecting the operation process.

[0033] The planar support 1-1 has several protective rods 1-3 perpendicular to the planar support 1-1 on one side edge opposite to the inclined support 1-2, to prevent the material 7 to be cut from rolling off the inclined plane onto the plane from rolling out of the feeding rack assembly 1.

[0034] The push cylinder assembly 2 is a telescopic cylinder or an electric cylinder. A push sensor 3 is provided on the telescopic end of the push cylinder assembly 2. The push sensor 3 is used to sense whether the material to be cut 7 has reached the telescopic end of the push cylinder assembly 2. The push sensor 3 can be a laser sensor. When the emitted laser is blocked by the material to be cut 7, it indicates that the material to be cut 7 has reached the telescopic end of the push cylinder assembly 2. The telescopic end of the push cylinder assembly 2 extends to push the material to be cut 7 to the clamping position of the automatic saw 6, and then the telescopic end retracts back to its original position.

[0035] The feeding cylinder assembly 4 is located at the bottom of the inclined support 1-2, effectively preventing the material 7 to be cut on the inclined support 1-2 from rolling further down onto the flat support 1-1, thus affecting the function of the push sensor 3. Preferably, the feeding cylinder assembly 4 is located at the bottom of the junction of the inclined support 1-2 and the flat support 1-1, facilitating the adjustment of the quantity of material 7 to be cut on the flat support 1-1. The feeding cylinder assembly 4 is a telescopic cylinder or an electric cylinder. After the telescopic end of the feeding cylinder assembly 4 extends, it can limit and prevent the material 7 to be cut on the feeding rack assembly 1 from sliding down the inclined support 1-2.

[0036] The automatic loading device for the horizontal saw also includes a loading sensor 5 located at the tail of the clamp of the automatic saw 6 and electrically connected to the loading cylinder assembly 4. The loading sensor 5 can be a laser rangefinder sensor, which measures the distance to the tail of the material to be cut 7 by emitting a laser, and constantly detects the cutting progress of the material to be cut 7. When the distance to the tail of the material to be cut 7 is close to 0, the extension end of the loading cylinder assembly 4 is adjusted from the extended limit state to the retracted state, so that the new material to be cut 7 will roll freely from the inclined bracket 1-2 to the flat bracket 1-1, and the material to be cut 7 on the flat bracket 1-1 will be pushed sequentially to the flat cylinder assembly 2.

[0037] To improve stability, the feeding rack assembly 1 is a support structure welded from several rigid tubes. Preferably, the rigid tubes are square tubes, and for example, they can be metal square tubes.

[0038] The automatic loading device for horizontal sawing machines of this invention cleverly combines various components, effectively solving the problem that automatic CNC sawing machines cannot automatically clamp materials.

[0039] When a piece of material 7 to be cut is loaded onto the automatic sawing machine 6 and the machine is started normally, the worker will suspend several pieces of material 7, each 2-3 meters long, onto the inclined support 1-2 of the loading rack assembly 1 via the robotic arm 8. The telescopic end of the loading cylinder assembly 4 extends out of the loading rack assembly 1 to limit the material 7 to roll from the inclined support 1-2 onto the flat support 1-1. At the same time, the material 7 on the inclined support 1-2 will continue to move downwards.

[0040] When the material in the clamp of the automatic sawing machine 6 is about to be cut, the loading sensor 5 at the tail of the clamp receives a signal, triggering the extension end of the loading cylinder assembly 4 to retract, causing the material to be cut 7 on the inclined support 1-2 to roll sequentially down the inclined plane onto the flat support 1-1, spreading it evenly and filling the flat support 1-1. After the push sensor 3 on the push cylinder assembly 2 senses the material to be cut 7, it triggers the extension end of the push cylinder assembly 2 to push the material to be cut 7 forward to the clamping position of the automatic sawing machine 6, where it is clamped by the clamp for cutting. The loading sensor 5 at the tail of the clamp of the automatic sawing machine 6 will first trigger the extension end of the loading cylinder assembly 4 to retract, based on the detected distance to the tail of the material to be cut 7, thus preventing other materials to be cut 7 on the inclined support 1-2 from sliding down the inclined plane.

[0041] The above description of the embodiments is provided to enable those skilled in the art to understand and use the utility model. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be easily made to these embodiments, and the general principles described herein can be applied to other embodiments without inventive effort. Therefore, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and any improvements and modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the disclosure of the present utility model without departing from its scope should be within the protection scope of the present utility model.
