Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of mechanical engineering, specifically to a cylinder-driven partitioned protection structure. Background Technology
[0002] In laser processing, machinery operation, and other industrial fields requiring safety protection, traditional safety measures often employ integrated protective shields or grating protection. However, these traditional methods have many limitations. While integrated protective shields offer good protection, they restrict operator flexibility and work efficiency, failing to meet the demands of modern industry for efficient and flexible production. Grating protection, although capable of some area division, has limited response speed and accuracy, and may experience false alarms or missed alarms in complex operating environments, impacting production efficiency and safety. To overcome these limitations, the industry has begun exploring new zone protection technologies. Among these, a cylinder-driven zone protection structure is gradually emerging. This structure uses cylinders to drive and flexibly control the protective plates, thereby achieving precise division and protection of the work area. However, existing cylinder-driven zone protection structures still have some problems. For example, some structures lack sufficient control precision, failing to achieve accurate positioning of the protective plates; some structures lack stability, easily affected by external factors; and some structures are complex to operate, hindering quick mastery and efficient operation by operators. Therefore, we propose a cylinder-driven zone protection structure. Utility Model Content
