TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to laser cutting technical field especially relates to a kind of auxiliary support for installing drag chain and laser cutting plate machine. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of laser cutting equipment, the structural design of laser cutting machine has been the focus of industry attention and improvement. The existing laser cutting machine is generally composed of a chassis, a workbench, a crossbeam, a laser cutting head arranged on the crossbeam, etc. Among them, the crossbeam is a key supporting structure of the laser cutting machine, and the setting mode of the X-axis drag chain on the crossbeam has an important influence on the entire equipment.
[0003] Currently, the X-axis drag chain on the crossbeam of the existing laser cutting machine is usually located on the outer side of the crossbeam. This traditional setting mode does not show obvious problems when the laser cutting machine is not installed with an outer surrounding sheet metal. However, with the improvement of safety protection and appearance requirements of the laser cutting machine, the outer surrounding sheet metal is widely used on the laser cutting machine. When the outer surrounding sheet metal is installed, the X-axis drag chain is located on the outer side of the crossbeam, which greatly increases the overall width of the cutting machine.
[0004] This phenomenon leads to many deficiencies:
[0005] Firstly, from the perspective of transportation, the increased width occupies more space when the laser cutting machine is loaded for transportation. For the transport vehicle, the limited loading space may not be able to accommodate the wider cutting machine, or during the loading process, the width exceeds the standard, making it difficult to load, requiring the use of larger vehicles, increasing transportation costs.
[0006] In addition, during transportation, in order to load the laser cutting machine into the vehicle, the outer surrounding sheet metal often needs to be disassembled, which not only consumes manpower and time, but also frequent disassembly and reinstallation may damage the sheet metal structure, affecting its protective performance and service life, and may also affect other precision components inside the laser cutting machine, thereby reducing the overall performance and reliability of the equipment.
[0007] In summary, the setting mode of the X-axis drag chain of the existing laser cutting machine, when used in combination with the outer surrounding sheet metal, has caused a series of problems due to the increase in the width of the equipment, greatly affecting the transportation, installation and other aspects of the laser cutting machine, and needs to be improved.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] The utility model provides a kind of auxiliary support for installing drag chain and laser plate cutting machine, to make the purpose, technical scheme and effect of the utility model more clear, definite, the following referring to drawing and taking example to further detail the utility model of example.It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the utility model, and are not used to limit the protection scope of the utility model.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 And Figure 2The utility model provides a kind of auxiliary support 50 for installing drag chain, including the frame body being fixedly connected on the side wall of crossbeam 30;The frame body includes the vertical pole 51 being arranged in vertical extension, and the horizontal pole 52 being fixedly connected with the upper end of vertical pole 51 and extending horizontally;The lower end of vertical pole 51 is fixedly connected with the side wall of crossbeam 30, the horizontal pole 52 is located above crossbeam 30, and the extension direction of horizontal pole 52 is consistent with the extension direction of crossbeam 30;The free end of horizontal pole 52 is used to be fixedly connected with the end of X-axis drag chain 60.
[0029] The core of the above-mentioned auxiliary support 50 is the frame body fixedly connected on the side wall of crossbeam 30. The frame body is composed of vertical pole 51 and horizontal pole 52. Vertical pole 51 extends vertically to provide vertical support for the entire auxiliary support 50. Its lower end is firmly connected to the side wall of crossbeam 30. Horizontal pole 52 is fixedly connected with the upper end of vertical pole 51 and extends horizontally. It is located above crossbeam 30. This design cleverly uses the space above crossbeam 30 to place X-axis drag chain 60, changing the problem of increasing the width of Y-axis of the cutting plate machine caused by the traditional drag chain setting on the outside.
[0030] In addition, the extension direction of horizontal pole 52 is consistent with that of crossbeam 30, which enables X-axis drag chain 60 to be reasonably arranged along the direction of crossbeam 30 after installation. The free end of horizontal pole 52 is the key part for fixing the end of X-axis drag chain 60. Through this fixing method, X-axis drag chain 60 is stably placed above crossbeam 30, avoiding the extension of X-axis drag chain 60 to occupy additional width space. Moreover, this fixing method can ensure that the movement trajectory of X-axis drag chain 60 is more stable when following the movement of X-axis, reducing the interference on cutting work caused by the shaking or deviation of X-axis drag chain 60.
[0031] In some embodiments, the lower end of the vertical rod 51 is welded to the side wall of the cross beam 30, and the upper end of the vertical rod 51 is welded to the side wall of the cross rod 52. The welding of the lower end of the vertical rod 51 to the side wall of the cross beam 30 ensures a very stable connection between the vertical rod 51 and the cross beam 30. During welding, the high temperature causes the metal materials to fuse at the connection, forming a continuous metal structure. Compared with other connection methods such as bolt connection, welding can withstand greater tension, pressure and shear force. During the operation of the laser cutting machine, even if the vertical rod 51 is subjected to external forces such as device vibration and pulling force generated by the movement of the X-axis drag chain 60, the vertical rod 51 can still stand stably on the side wall of the cross beam 30, providing a reliable support foundation for the installation of the entire auxiliary support 50 and the X-axis drag chain 60. Similarly, the upper end of the vertical rod 51 is also welded to the side wall of the cross rod 52, which ensures that the angle and relative position between the vertical rod 51 and the cross rod 52 remain unchanged. As an important component for carrying the X-axis drag chain 60, the stability of the cross rod 52 is crucial. Welding makes the vertical rod 51 and the cross rod 52 form a rigid overall structure. Under the movement of the X-axis drag chain 60 along with the X-axis and various external disturbances that may occur, the cross rod 52 can always remain in the appropriate position, ensuring that the X-axis drag chain 60 moves along the predetermined trajectory, avoiding the situation that the X-axis drag chain 60 shakes, deviates, and other factors that affect the normal operation of the device due to the loosening or deformation of the connection part.
[0032] In some embodiments, a support rod 53 is also included, the lower end of the support rod 53 is used to be fixed to the outer side wall of the cross beam 30, and the upper end of the support rod 53 is used to be fixed to the lower surface of the cross rod 52. The addition of the support rod 53 in the auxiliary support 50 for installing the X-axis drag chain 60 has its lower end designed to be fixed to the outer side wall of the cross beam 30, and its upper end designed to be fixed to the lower surface of the cross rod 52. This design further improves the structure of the auxiliary support 50 and enhances the stability of the entire support from a mechanical perspective. Moreover, during the operation of the laser cutting machine, the X-axis drag chain 60 will generate forces in various directions during movement, including its own gravity, inertial force during movement, and additional forces that may be generated due to external interference, etc. The addition of the support rod 53, together with the vertical rod 51, provides more stable support for the cross rod 52. It can share part of the force borne by the vertical rod 51, especially when dealing with vertical pressure and horizontal shear force. Through the multi-point support method, the cross rod 52 is less likely to deform or displace under complex stress conditions, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation position of the X-axis drag chain 60.
[0033] In some embodiments, the support rod 53 comprises a connecting portion 531 and a supporting portion 532; the connecting portion 531 extends vertically and is parallel to the vertical rod 51; the supporting portion 532 is fixed to the upper end of the connecting portion 531 and the upper surface of the supporting portion 532 is fixed to the lower surface of the horizontal rod 52. Since the connecting portion 531 of the support rod 53 is parallel to the vertical rod 51 and shares the force transmission, and the supporting portion 532 stably supports the horizontal rod 52, the structural stability of the entire auxiliary support 50 is significantly improved. In addition, the presence of the support rod 53 makes the force distribution in the structure of the auxiliary support 50 more balanced. The parallel arrangement of the connecting portion 531 and the vertical rod 51 enables the force in the vertical direction to be evenly distributed to both of them, and the support of the supporting portion 532 to the horizontal rod 52 further adjusts the force distribution of the horizontal rod 52.
[0034] In some embodiments, the cross section of the supporting portion 532 is isosceles triangular. That is, the supporting portion 532 is equivalent to a reinforcing rib, and the isosceles triangular cross section enables the supporting portion 532 to achieve a more uniform force distribution when bearing the pressure from the horizontal rod 52. In addition, due to its own geometric characteristics, the isosceles triangular cross section has relatively strong torsional resistance. Its three edges and three corners enable it to effectively resist or weaken the influence of torsional force by mutual restraint and cooperation between the edges, maintain the original shape and position of the supporting portion 532 and even the entire support rod 53, and ensure that its supporting effect on the horizontal rod 52 is not affected.
[0035] In some embodiments, one or more mounting plates 54 are fixed to the side wall of the cross beam 30 towards the connecting portion 531, and the mounting plates 54 are used to be fixed to the outer side wall of the cross beam 30. The mounting plate 54 serves as a connecting medium between the connecting portion 531 and the outer side wall of the cross beam 30, and its design further refines the connection structure between the support rod 53 and the cross beam 30, making the connection between the two more stable and operable, and increasing the contact area between the connecting portion 531 and the outer side wall of the cross beam 30.
[0036] In some embodiments, a plurality of support rods 53 are provided and arranged at equal intervals. The provision of a plurality of support rods 53 arranged at equal intervals enables the various forces (such as gravity, inertial force, etc.) received by the horizontal rod 52 from the X-axis tow chain 60 to be more evenly distributed. During the operation of the laser cutting machine, factors such as equipment vibration and irregular movement of the X-axis tow chain 60 may generate deformation forces such as twisting and bending on the auxiliary support 50. The plurality of support rods 53 arranged at equal intervals form a more stable support network, which cooperates with each other to effectively resist these deformation forces.
[0037] The utility model also provides a kind of laser cutting plate machine, including chassis 10, workbench 20 and crossbeam 30 that can reciprocate along the Y axis direction of chassis 10, laser cutting head 40 that can reciprocate slide along the X axis direction of crossbeam 30, Y axis tow chain 70 being provided at one side of the chassis 10, the auxiliary support 50 for installing tow chain being solidly connected with crossbeam 30, X axis tow chain 60 being provided on the auxiliary support 50 for installing tow chain, and Z axis tow chain 80 being provided on laser cutting head 40.Workbench 20 is used to place the plate material to be cut, and its movement function along Y axis makes that plate material can be cut by laser in different positions, meets different cutting demand and the requirement of cutting pattern.Crossbeam 30 is mainly used to install laser cutting head 40, and provides direction and track for the movement of laser cutting head 40 in X axis direction.Each tow chain is used to protect and store each kind of cable, air pipe and other components related to movement in each direction, to prevent cable from being pulled, worn or wound, and to ensure the normal operation of related equipment.
