Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of punching machine technology, specifically a pneumatic punching machine with laser-assisted positioning. Background Technology

[0002] Pneumatic punching machines are used to punch and cut rubber, plastics, leather, and other special materials into various standard test pieces for testing. They can also be used as small punch presses. Pneumatic punching machines are characterized by flexible operation and quick sample preparation. With a stable air source, they can punch and cut standard specimens of uniform size and precision. Depending on the cutting blade, various standard specimens can be produced, such as strips, dumbbell shapes, and right-angle tear shapes. This has changed the inefficient and inaccurate method of manual punching of test pieces.

[0003] However, in actual use, in order to ensure accurate positioning of the cutting sample, the method of using a hand-held cutting knife for positioning and punching is used, which greatly increases the danger of using the equipment.

[0004] In the field of testing and inspection, many tests (such as tensile tests) require cutting standard longitudinal and transverse specimens. Since pneumatic punching machines do not have precise guiding and positioning measures when punching specimens, the punching position is only positioned by visual inspection and manual adjustment. This often results in punching deviation, uneven cuts, and damage to the specimens. As a result, the machines have to continue cutting specimens on a limited number of samples, which is labor-intensive and wasteful, affecting the accuracy of the test and inspection results. Utility Model Content

By rotating the first limiting knob, it fits against the outer wall of the mounting bracket, thereby adjusting the height of the laser light group.

[0009] Preferably, the inner wall of the sliding hole is provided with a first scale mark, and the front and back walls on both sides of the fixing member are provided with a first scale pointer. The first scale pointer and the first scale mark cooperate with each other to identify the height position of the laser light group.

[0010] Preferably, the lower end of the mounting bracket is provided with a second limiting knob. By tightening the second limiting knob to fit against the outer wall of the sliding guide rail, the position of the mounting bracket can be adjusted.

[0011] Preferably, the lower pressure plate is equipped with the edge of the positioning component, and its upper surface is respectively provided with a second scale mark. The mounting bracket is provided with a second scale pointer.

[0012] Preferably, the outer wall of the pressure head is provided with a third scale mark, and the position of the cutting blade is adjusted by the third scale mark to make it oriented and centered.

[0013] Preferably, the upper pressure plate is provided with a manual air valve switch and a pneumatic valve group respectively. The cylinder is connected to an external air compressor through a pipeline in sequence with the manual air valve switch and the pneumatic valve group. The manual air valve switch controls the punching stroke of the pressure head at the lower end of the cylinder, thereby realizing the punching of the sample. The upper surface of the lower pressure plate is provided with a pad to cooperate with the pressure head for punching.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model improves the original method of hand-held cutting of specimens to ensure accurate positioning. It adopts laser positioning and a dual-scale adjustment system including horizontal and vertical positions. With the help of the scale around the pressure head and the longitudinal and transverse light formed by the illumination of two sets of laser lamps, the sample position is aligned and the cutting point is calibrated with high precision. This greatly improves the safety of equipment use and the accuracy of cutting. It is applicable to most pneumatic punching machines on the market, has low cost, is easy to add, and has high operability. Attached Figure Description
