Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sand feeding technology for waterjet cutting machines, and in particular to a sand feeding device for a high-frame waterjet cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] Waterjet cutting, also known as water jet cutting, is a machine that uses high-pressure water jets for cutting. Waterjet cutting machines require the use of cutting abrasive during operation, so abrasive feeding devices are needed when operating a waterjet cutting machine.
[0003] Patent application number 201821863948.X discloses a backflow prevention sand inlet device for a water jet cutting machine. The top of the sand inlet box is provided with a sand inlet, which penetrates through the top of the sand inlet box and extends to the outer surface of the top of the inside of the sand inlet box. Slide rails are provided on both sides of the inner wall of the sand inlet box below the sand inlet, and sliders are embedded in the slide rails. A sand discharge screening drawer is installed at the end of the slider away from the slide rail.
[0004] However, in practical applications, the feeding of sand into traditional waterjet cutting machines is a major concern for operators. Because the sand is in the form of small particles, gaps will appear between these small particles when they are piled up. This is because the shape, size and arrangement of the sand particles cannot be completely consistent, so there will be certain gaps between them. These gaps will cause uneven feeding of sand into the waterjet cutting machine, resulting in poor flow of sand during the feeding and conveying process, which will affect the cutting efficiency.
[0005] For example, when feeding sand into a waterjet cutting machine, large gaps may appear when the sand accumulates in the storage tank. These large gaps can affect the smoothness of the material flow and cause uneven sand feeding, thus affecting the cutting efficiency and quality of the waterjet cutting machine. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model discloses a sand feeding device for a high-frame waterjet cutting machine, aiming to solve the problem that in practical applications, sand feeding is a key concern for operators during operation of traditional waterjet cutting machines. Because the sand is in the form of small particles, gaps will appear between these small particles when they are piled up. This is because the shape, size, and arrangement of the sand particles cannot be completely consistent, so there will be certain gaps between them. These gaps will cause uneven sand feeding to the waterjet cutting machine, resulting in poor sand flow during the feeding and conveying process, and may also affect the processing efficiency and processing quality of the waterjet cutting machine.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0008] A sand feeding device for a high-frame waterjet cutting machine includes a storage mechanism and a material guiding mechanism assembled at the bottom of the storage mechanism. The storage mechanism includes a storage tank and further includes: a conical tank fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank; a fixed cover fixedly installed at the top of the storage tank; a feed filter plate fixedly installed on the lower side of the front of the fixed cover; a vibration motor fixedly installed at the center of the top of the fixed cover; the output end of the vibration motor extends into the interior of the storage tank and is fixedly installed with a transmission rod; and a vibrating rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the transmission rod.
[0009] In this solution, the storage tank and conical tank can store sand, and the vibration motor and vibrating rod can vibrate evenly when the sand is stored and piled up, thereby avoiding or significantly reducing the occurrence of gaps inside the sand during storage and accumulation. The uniform storage and accumulation of sand improves the uniformity and smoothness of the sand feeding to the waterjet cutting machine. In addition, the electric cylinder and unblocking rod can clear blockages that occur during the transportation of sand in the guide pipe in the first instance, avoiding blockages in the sand feeding process from affecting the normal operation of the waterjet cutting machine, and ensuring the stability of the device when feeding sand to the waterjet cutting machine.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the material guiding mechanism includes a material guiding pipe, an assembly flange fixedly installed at the top end of one side of the material guiding pipe, a connecting flange fixedly installed on the other side of the material guiding pipe, an electric cylinder fixedly installed on one side of the material guiding pipe, and a dredging rod extending into the interior of the material guiding pipe fixedly installed at the output end of the electric cylinder.
[0011] In practical applications, the feed pipe is installed at the bottom of the conical tank via an assembly flange. This feed pipe guides the path of the sand discharged from the conical tank. The connecting flange on the other side of the feed pipe facilitates connection with an external siphon device. The siphon device can then extract the sand stored in the storage tank and the conical tank using a siphon method, and feed the sand into the waterjet cutting machine using the siphon method. An electric cylinder drives a clearing rod to reciprocate inside the feed pipe. This reciprocating motion of the clearing rod can clear any blockages in the feed pipe immediately, thus preventing blockages during the movement and transportation of sand within the feed pipe and ensuring the stability of the device when feeding sand into the waterjet cutting machine.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a ventilator is fixedly installed inside the fixed cover, and air inlet pipes are fixedly installed on both sides of the conical tank. Ventilation mesh pipes are fixedly connected to the top of both sets of air inlet pipes.
[0013] The installed ventilator can draw air from the inside of the storage tank, while the air inlet pipe and ventilation network pipe can introduce air at the same time as the ventilator draws air from the storage tank, thus ventilating the inside of the storage tank. Ventilation inside the storage tank can ensure the dryness of the sand and prevent the sand from becoming damp and clumping when it accumulates in the storage tank, which would affect subsequent feeding. This ensures the stability of the feeding of the device during the operation of the waterjet cutting machine.
[0014] As described above, a sand feeding device for a high-frame waterjet cutting machine includes a storage mechanism and a guiding mechanism assembled at the bottom of the storage mechanism. The storage mechanism includes a storage tank, and further includes: a conical tank fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank; a fixed cover fixedly installed at the top of the storage tank; a feed filter plate fixedly installed on the lower side of the front of the fixed cover; a vibration motor fixedly installed at the center of the top of the fixed cover; the output end of the vibration motor extends into the interior of the storage tank and is fixedly installed with a transmission rod; and a vibrating rod is fixedly installed at the bottom of the transmission rod. The sand feeding device for a high-frame waterjet cutting machine provided by this utility model reduces gaps when sand accumulates, improves the uniformity of material output and sand feeding during waterjet cutting operation, and ensures cutting efficiency and quality during waterjet cutting operation through uniform and smooth sand feeding, resulting in stable operation of the waterjet cutting machine.

[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and marked in the accompanying drawings can be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely represents selected embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] The sand feeding device for a high-frame waterjet cutting machine disclosed in this utility model is mainly used in practical applications. In traditional waterjet cutting machines, sand feeding is a key concern for operators. Because the sand is in the form of small particles, gaps will appear between these small particles when they are piled up. This is because the shape, size, and arrangement of the sand particles cannot be completely consistent, so there will be certain gaps between them. These gaps will cause uneven feeding of the waterjet cutting machine by the device, resulting in poor flow of sand during the feeding and conveying process, and may also affect the processing efficiency and processing quality of the waterjet cutting machine.
[0023] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 A sand feeding device for a high-frame waterjet cutting machine includes a storage mechanism 1 and a material guiding mechanism 2 assembled at the bottom of the storage mechanism 1. The storage mechanism 1 includes a storage tank 101 and further includes: a conical tank 102 fixedly installed at the bottom of the storage tank 101; a fixed cover 103 fixedly installed at the top of the storage tank 101; a feed filter plate 104 fixedly installed on the lower side of the front of the fixed cover 103; a vibration motor 3 fixedly installed at the center of the top of the fixed cover 103; the output end of the vibration motor 3 extends into the interior of the storage tank 101 and is fixedly installed with a transmission rod 302; and a vibrating rod 301 fixedly installed at the bottom of the transmission rod 302.
[0024] The fixed cover 103 is equipped with a fan 4, and the conical tank 102 is equipped with air inlet pipes 401 on both sides. The top of the two sets of air inlet pipes 401 is fixedly connected to ventilation network pipes 402. The fan 4 can exhaust air from the inside of the storage tank 101, and the air inlet pipes 401 and ventilation network pipes 402 can introduce air while the fan 4 is exhausting air from the storage tank 101, thereby ventilating the inside of the storage tank 101. Ventilation of the inside of the storage tank 101 can ensure the dryness of the sand and prevent the sand from becoming damp and clumping when it accumulates in the storage tank 101, which would affect the subsequent feeding. This ensures the stability of the feeding of the device when the waterjet cutting machine is operating.
[0025] In practical use, a reinforcing frame 303 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the transmission rod 302. The two ends of the reinforcing frame 303 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the storage tank 101. The reinforcing frame 303 can support and reinforce the transmission rod 302 inside the storage tank 101, ensuring the stability of the transmission rod 302 when transmitting kinetic energy and avoiding the transmission rod 302 from shaking and becoming unstable during operation, thus accelerating aging and damage.
[0026] The storage tank 101 is fixedly equipped with an observation window 107 on the front. The observation window 107 allows the supervisor to view and understand the sand stored in the storage tank 101, and the staff can also understand the amount of sand in the storage tank 101 through the observation window 107. When the sand is found to be insufficient, the staff can replenish the sand in time.
[0027] Specifically, when the waterjet cutting machine is operating, the storage tank 101 and the conical tank 102 can store abrasive material, and the abrasive material is discharged through the bottom of the conical tank 102. The discharged abrasive material can then be used to feed abrasive material into the waterjet cutting machine. The fixed cover 103 can close the rear side of the top of the storage tank 101, while the front side of the top of the storage tank 101 facilitates subsequent abrasive material replenishment by the operator. The feed filter plate 104 can screen and filter the replenished raw materials, thereby filtering out larger particles or foreign objects in the abrasive material, preventing large particles or foreign objects from clogging or damaging the nozzles of the waterjet cutting machine, and ensuring the stability of the device when feeding material to the waterjet cutting machine. The vibration motor 3 drives the vibrator 301 to vibrate inside the conical tank 102 through the transmission rod 302. By ensuring uniform vibration during sand accumulation, large gaps are avoided inside the conical tank 102. This uniform vibration significantly improves the stability of sand output and feeding into the waterjet cutting machine, preventing gaps from affecting the smoothness or unevenness of sand feeding. Uniform and stable sand feeding ensures the cutting efficiency and quality of the waterjet cutting machine. For example, gaps may appear during sand storage and accumulation, affecting the uniformity and smoothness of sand output. This can lead to uneven sand feeding, which in turn affects the cutting efficiency and even reduces cutting quality.
[0028] In practical application, this solution improves the uniformity of sand accumulation inside storage tank 101 and conical tank 102 by vibrating the sand during storage. This avoids or significantly reduces gaps in the sand accumulation, allowing the device to feed sand into the waterjet cutter in a uniform and smooth manner. This not only increases the stability of the sand feeding process for the waterjet cutter but also increases the efficiency and quality of the waterjet cutter in cutting raw materials.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5In a preferred embodiment, the material guiding mechanism 2 includes a material guiding pipe 201. An assembly flange 203 is fixedly installed at the top of one side of the material guiding pipe 201, and a connecting flange 202 is fixedly installed on the other side. An electric cylinder 204 is fixedly installed on one side of the material guiding pipe 201, and a dredging rod 205 extending into the inside of the material guiding pipe 201 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric cylinder 204. The material guiding pipe 201 is installed at the bottom of the conical tank 102 via the assembly flange 203, thereby guiding the path of the sand discharged from the conical tank 102 through the material guiding pipe 201. The connecting flange 202 on the other side of the material guiding pipe 201... Lan 202 is easy to connect to external siphon equipment, so that the sand stored in storage tank 101 and conical tank 102 can be extracted by siphon and fed into the waterjet cutter by siphon. Electric cylinder 204 drives the unblocking rod 205 to reciprocate inside the guide pipe 201. The reciprocating extension and retraction of the unblocking rod 205 can clear the blockage of sand in the guide pipe 201 in the first time, thereby avoiding the blockage of sand during the movement and transportation of sand in the guide pipe 201, and ensuring the stability of the device when feeding sand into the waterjet cutter.
[0030] For example, in the use of the sand feeding device, the guide pipe 201 may become blocked. The blockage of the guide pipe 201 will affect the normal cutting operation of the waterjet cutting machine, and the operator will need to manually unclog the guide pipe 201 after stopping the machine. Therefore, the blockage of the guide pipe 201 will affect the normal operation of the waterjet cutting machine, resulting in a decrease in the cutting efficiency and cutting quality of the waterjet cutting machine.
[0031] Among them, a movable cover 105 is movably installed on the upper side of the front of the fixed cover 103, and a pull rod 106 is fixedly installed on the front side of the top of the movable cover 105. The movable cover 105 can close and seal the front side of the top of the storage tank 101, and the opening surface of the movable cover 105 facilitates the staff to add materials to the storage tank 101. The pull rod 106 facilitates the staff to open and close the movable cover 105.
[0032] Specifically, three sets of support legs 5 are fixedly installed on the lower part of the outer wall of the storage tank 101. Each set of support legs 5 has a foot plate 501 fixedly installed at its bottom. The support legs 5 can support the storage tank 101, thereby ensuring the stability of the storage tank 101 when storing sand. The foot plate 501 increases the bearing area at the bottom of the support leg 5, and the foot plate 501 can be fixed by bolts, thereby ensuring the stability of the support leg 5 when supporting the storage tank 101.
[0033] Working principle: Storage tank 101 and conical tank 102 can store sand. Vibration motor 3 and vibrator 301 can vibrate evenly when the sand is stored and piled up, thereby avoiding or greatly reducing the occurrence of gaps inside the sand during storage and accumulation. The uniform storage and accumulation of sand improves the uniformity and smoothness of the sand feeding to the waterjet cutting machine. Electric cylinder 204 and unblocking rod 205 can clear blockages in the transportation of sand in the guide pipe 201 in the first time, avoiding blockages in the sand feeding process from affecting the normal operation of the waterjet cutting machine, and ensuring the stability of the device when feeding sand to the waterjet cutting machine.
[0034] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. The substitutions may be replacements of some structures, devices, or method steps, or they may be complete technical solutions. Equivalent substitutions or modifications made based on the technical solution and inventive concept of this utility model should all be covered within the protection scope of this utility model.
