[0039] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, not the entire structure.

[0040] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0041] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0042] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a pipe fitting processing machine tool, including an adjustment assembly 100, a laser cutting component 200, a positioner 300, and a dust collection assembly. The adjustment assembly 100 includes a first base 110, a first slide 120, a second slide 130, and a third slide 140. The first slide 120 is mounted on the first base 110 and can move along a first horizontal direction X; the second slide 130 is mounted on the first slide 120 and can move along a second horizontal direction Y; the third slide 140 is mounted on the second slide 130 and can move along a vertical direction Z. The laser cutting component 200 is mounted on the third slide 140 and can rotate around a first axis, which is perpendicular to the second... The horizontal direction Y is parallel; the positioner 300 includes a second base 310 and a clamping member 320. The second base 310 is fixed relative to the first base 110. The clamping member 320 is used to fix the pipe 600. The clamping member 320 is installed on the second base 310 and can rotate around a second axis. The second axis is parallel to the first horizontal direction X; the dust collection assembly includes a first driving member and a first storage cavity. The first driving member can generate airflow to suck the dust generated during the processing of the pipe 600 into the first storage cavity; the first horizontal direction X is perpendicular to the second horizontal direction Y.

[0044] Specifically, in use, the pipe fitting 600 is first assembled onto the clamping member 320 of the positioner 300. The clamping member 320 can carry the pipe fitting 600 and rotate it relative to the second base 310 around the second axis, so that the circumference of the pipe fitting 600 can face the laser cutting part 200. The laser cutting part 200 can also change its position in space through the adjusting component 100, so that it can have multiple degrees of freedom and can perform multi-angle processing on the pipe fitting 600. After the pipe fitting 600 and the positioner 300 are assembled once, the laser cutting part 200 can perform multiple processes on the pipe fitting 600 sequentially, simplifying the operation process and saving the time of repeated assembly of the pipe fitting 600. The dust collection component can absorb the dust generated during the processing of the pipe fitting 600, which not only keeps the processing environment clean and tidy and ensures processing accuracy, but also makes it easy to observe the processing progress.

[0045] In this way, the 600mm pipe fittings can be processed automatically, reducing the need for operators, which not only improves processing efficiency but also maintains the consistency of processing quality.

[0046] Optionally, the first storage cavity is located within the first base 110.

[0047] For example, the first base 110 has a first storage cavity and a dust suction channel. One end of the dust suction channel is connected to the first storage cavity, and the other end is formed on the end face of the first base 110 and faces the tube 600. The dust generated when the laser cutting component 200 processes the tube 600 can be introduced into the first storage cavity through the dust suction channel by the airflow generated when the first driving component is activated. This arrangement can make full use of the internal space of the first base 110, save layout space, and reduce the footprint of the processing machine tool.

[0048] Optionally, the dust collection assembly also includes a suction hood 410, which is mounted on the first base 110. The suction hood 410 has a grid structure to intercept debris from entering the first storage cavity. The volume and mass of the debris are larger than those of the dust particles.

[0049] With this design, the dust hood can limit the size of impurities entering the first storage cavity. If the volume is too large, it will easily block the first storage cavity. The first storage cavity is located inside the first base 110, which makes it inconvenient to unclog, and also requires stopping the machine to unclog it, affecting normal use.

[0050] Optionally, the vacuuming assembly also includes a waste collection bin 420, which is placed below the clamping member 320 to collect debris. This arrangement ensures that debris is collected centrally for easy cleaning.

[0051] Optionally, the dust collection assembly also includes a collection hopper 430, which is fixed to the first base 110 and / or the second base 310. The collection hopper 430 includes an inlet and an outlet, with the diameter of the inlet being larger than the diameter of the outlet. The inlet faces upward, and the outlet faces downward and communicates with the waste collection box 420. Thus, the constricted shape of the collection hopper 430 makes it easier to collect the debris generated during the processing of the pipe fitting 600.

[0052] Preferably, the collecting hopper 430 is fixed to the first base 110 and the second base 310 by threaded fasteners.

[0053] Preferably, when projected in the vertical direction Z, the pipe 600 is located within the outer contour of the feed inlet.

[0054] Optionally, in the vertical Z direction, the collection hopper 430 is located between the suction hood 410 and the waste collection box 420. With this configuration, the collection hopper 430 can catch the debris intercepted by the suction hood 410 and guide it into the collection box. Furthermore, due to the obstruction provided by the collection hopper 430, the suction force generated by the first drive component is reduced, minimizing its impact on the debris in the waste collection box 420 and preventing impurities from settling stably.

[0055] Optionally, the pipe fitting processing machine tool also includes a base 510 and a housing 520. The base 510 and the housing 520 are fixed to form a processing space. The adjustment component 100, the positioner 300 and the dust collection component are all located in the processing space. The first base 110 and the second base 310 are both fixed to the base 510.

[0056] With this configuration, the outer shell 520 and the base 510 form a relatively sealed processing space, and the pipe 600 is located within the processing space, which can prevent dust and debris generated during processing from flying around.

[0057] Optionally, the outer casing 520 has a waste outlet, and the waste collection box 420 is slidably connected to the base 510 and can enter and exit the waste outlet. This arrangement facilitates cleaning of the waste collection box 420 without disrupting the fixed relationship between the outer casing 520 and the base 510.

[0058] Optionally, the adjustment component 100 also includes a position sensor for acquiring the coordinate position of the laser-cut workpiece 200. This configuration allows for precise acquisition of the position coordinates of the laser-cut workpiece 200, thereby achieving precise control and improving processing quality.

[0059] Optionally, the first slide 120 includes a first slide 120A and a first slide 120B. The first slide 120A is slidably connected to the first base 110, and the second slide 130 is slidably connected to the first slide 120B. The first slide 120A and the first slide 120B are rotatably connected around the first axis.

[0060] With this configuration, the rotation of the first slide 120A and the first slide 120B around the first axis drives the second slide 130 and the third slide sleeve to rotate around the first axis, enabling the laser-cut part 200 to revolve around the first axis.

[0061] Optionally, the positioner 300 also includes a support plate 330 for supporting the pipe fitting 600, the portion of the pipe fitting 600 extending beyond the support plate 330 being processed by the laser cutting component 200. This configuration reduces the length of the pipe fitting 600 suspended in the air, minimizing its swaying during laser cutting of the pipe fitting 600, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the pipe fitting processing machine tool.

[0062] Furthermore, the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and the technical principles employed. Those skilled in the art will understand that the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments described herein, and various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, although the present invention has been described in detail through the above embodiments, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and may include many other equivalent embodiments without departing from the concept of the present invention, the scope of which is determined by the scope of the appended claims.
