Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of laser processing technology, and in particular to a floating support device and laser processing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the application of laser processing technology in the field of pipe cutting, the market has also put forward new requirements for the precision of pipe cutting.

[0003] When cutting pipes, the pipe to be cut needs to be passed through a chuck to be clamped, and then the portion of the pipe passing through the chuck is laser-cut. After the pipe passes through the chuck, the end of the pipe away from the chuck will sag due to its own weight, resulting in a decrease in the cutting accuracy of the pipe.

[0004] Currently, height-adjustable floating support devices are typically used to support the pipes to be cut, preventing them from sagging due to their own weight. However, after the pipe is cut, the floating support device needs to rotate to tilt the support surface, allowing the cut pipe to slide freely and be unloaded.

[0005] When feeding materials using the above method, sufficient rotation space needs to be reserved because the floating support device needs to rotate. This requires other components to avoid the rotation area of ​​the support device, reducing the flexibility of the placement of these components and complicating the structure of the floating support device.

This improves space utilization, increases the flexibility of component placement, and simplifies the structure of the floating support device. Attached Figure Description

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0050] This application provides a floating support device and a laser processing equipment to solve the technical problem of the complex structure of the floating support device.

[0051] In the embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the floating support device includes a first support frame 1, a first drive assembly 2, a support member 3, a second drive assembly 4, and a pusher 5. The first drive assembly 2 is disposed on the first support frame 1, and the support member 3 is disposed at the output end of the first drive assembly 2. The first drive assembly 2 is used to drive the support member 3 to move up and down. The second drive assembly 4 is disposed on the support member 3, and the pusher 5 is disposed at the output end of the second drive assembly 4. The second drive assembly 4 is used to drive the pusher 5 to move horizontally on the support member 3.

[0052] The first drive component 2 and the second drive component 4 are both located below the support 3, and the pusher 5 is located on the upper surface of the support 3.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first support frame 1 can serve as a support and can be used as a frame. The support member 3 can be a plate-like structure used to support the pipe and prevent the pipe from sagging due to its own weight.

[0054] During pipe cutting, the first drive assembly 2 first lifts the support member 3 to a position equal to the height of the pipe, thus supporting the pipe and preventing it from sagging due to its own weight. Then, the laser beam cuts the pipe. After the pipe is cut, the first drive assembly 2 lowers the support member 3, and then the second drive assembly 4 moves the pusher 5 horizontally on the support member 3. The pusher 5 pushes the pipe off the support member 3, thus unloading the pipe. Because the second drive assembly 4 only moves the pusher 5 to unload the pipe after the first drive assembly 2 has lowered the support member 3, the drop height of the pipe can be reduced, preventing collisions and defects caused by excessive drop height, which would affect the quality of the pipe.

[0055] The first drive assembly 2 and the second drive assembly 4 are both located below the support member 3, which can prevent the first drive assembly 2 and the second drive assembly 4 from interfering with the support member 3 supporting the pipe or the pusher 5 pushing the pipe.

[0056] In this embodiment, the second drive component 4 may include a rodless cylinder.

[0057] In this embodiment, the first driving component 2 is disposed on the first support frame 1, and the support member 3 is disposed on the output end of the first driving component 2, so that the first driving component 2 drives the support member 3 to rise and fall, so that the support member 3 rises and falls to the same height as the pipe, thereby supporting the pipe through the support member 3 and preventing the pipe from sagging due to its own weight; the second driving component 4 is disposed on the support member 3, and the pusher 5 is disposed on the output end of the second driving component 4, so that the pusher 5 and the second driving component 4 can rise and fall synchronously with the support member 3, so that the pusher 5 is always located above the support member 3; the second driving component 4 can The first drive assembly 2 drives the pusher 5 to move horizontally on the support 3, so that the pusher 5 pushes the cut pipe off the support 3 to realize the unloading of the pipe. When unloading the pipe, the first drive assembly 2 can drive the support 3 to descend, so as to reduce the unloading height and reduce the damage to the pipe caused by the collision during unloading. In the process of the first drive assembly 2 driving the support 3 to rise and fall to support the pipe, only vertical lifting space is needed, and no rotation space is needed. Therefore, the space utilization rate can be improved, thereby improving the flexibility of the setting position of each component and simplifying the structure of the floating support device.

[0058] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the floating support device also includes a feeding component 6, which is inclined downward on the support component 3. The higher end of the feeding component 6 is connected to the support component 3. The second drive component 4 is used to drive the push component 5 to move closer to or away from the feeding component 6.

[0059] The second drive assembly 4 drives the pusher 5 to push the pipe toward the unloading member 6. When the pipe is pushed onto the unloading member 6, it automatically slides off because the unloading member 6 is tilted downwards. The downward tilt of the unloading member 6 reduces the unloading height of the pipe, thus minimizing damage from collisions during unloading. The unloading member 6 also buffers the unloading speed of the pipe, further reducing damage from collisions during unloading.

[0060] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the floating support device also includes a first sealing plate 7 and a second sealing plate 8, both of which are mounted on the first support frame 1. The plane of the first sealing plate 7 is parallel to the plane of the support member 3, and the lowest height of the support member 3 is the same as the height of the first sealing plate 7. The plane of the second sealing plate 8 is parallel to the plane of the unloading member 6, and the lowest height of the unloading member 6 is the same as the height of the second sealing plate 8. The higher end of the second sealing plate 8 is connected to the first sealing plate 7.

[0061] The first sealing plate 7 serves as a reference for the minimum descent height of the support member 3, and the second sealing plate 8 serves as a reference for the minimum descent height of the unloading member 6, thus facilitating the user's selection of the height of the unloading frame used to receive the pipes. The height of the unloading frame should not be too high, otherwise the pipes will not be able to fall into the frame. Conversely, the height of the unloading frame should not be too low, as this will increase the drop height of the pipes and easily damage them. The first sealing plate 7 and the second sealing plate 8 also prevent the pipes from falling into the first support frame 1.

[0062] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support component 3 and the blanking component 6 are integrally formed to facilitate the manufacturing of the support component 3 and the blanking component 6, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the support component 3 and the blanking component 6. Specifically, the support component 3 and the blanking component 6 can be manufactured through a bending process.

[0063] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the floating support device also includes a connector 9. The support member 3 is provided with a clearance hole 31, the length direction of which is parallel to the moving direction of the pusher 5. The connector 9 passes through the clearance hole 31, the bottom of the connector 9 is located at the output end of the second drive assembly 4, and the top of the connector 9 is connected to the pusher 5.

[0064] Connector 9 is used to connect the output end of the second drive assembly 4 and the pusher 5. Connector 9 passes through the clearance hole 31 and can move along the length of the clearance hole 31, so that the second drive assembly 4 drives the pusher 5 to move horizontally on the support 3 via connector 9. Connecting the second drive assembly 4 and the pusher 5 via connector 9 simplifies the structure.

[0065] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the floating support device also includes a second support frame 10. The support member 3 and the second drive assembly 4 are both mounted on the second support frame 10, and the second support frame 10 is connected to the output end of the first drive assembly 2. By providing the second support frame 10, the support member 3 and the second drive assembly 4 can be easily mounted. It also improves the stability of the support member 3 supporting the pipe.

[0066] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the second support frame 10 is slidably mounted on the first support frame 1, which can improve the stability of the first drive assembly 2 driving the second support frame 10 to slide in the vertical direction.

[0067] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first drive assembly 2 includes a first drive unit 21, a gear 22, and a rack 23. The first drive unit 21 is mounted on the first support frame 1. The gear 22 is located at the output end of the first drive unit 21, and the first drive unit 21 drives the gear 22 to rotate. The support member 3 is mounted on the second support frame 10, and the gear 22 meshes with the rack 23.

[0068] The first drive unit 21 can drive the gear 22 to rotate, and the first drive unit 21 is mounted on the first support frame 1, so the height of the first drive unit 21 and the gear 22 remains unchanged. The rack 23 is mounted on the second support frame 10, and the gear 22 meshes with the rack 23. Therefore, with the height of the gear 22 remaining unchanged, the rotation of the gear 22 will drive the rack 23 to rise and fall. The rise and fall of the rack 23 will drive the second support frame 10 to rise and fall, and the second support frame 10 will then drive the support member 3 to rise and fall.

[0069] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first drive assembly 2 also includes a mounting base 24, a mounting plate 25, a bearing housing 26, and a clamping member 27. The mounting base 24 is disposed on the first support frame 1, and the mounting plate 25 is disposed on the mounting base 24. The bearing housing 26 is disposed on the mounting plate 25, and the gear 22 is rotatably disposed on the bearing housing 26. The clamping member 27 is disposed on the mounting base 24, and the mounting plate 25 is located between the clamping member 27 and the rack 23.

[0070] Mounting base 24 is used to mount mounting plate 25 and clamping member 27. Mounting plate 25 is used to mount bearing housing 26, and bearing housing 26 is used to mount gear 22. Clamping member 27 is disposed on mounting base 24, and mounting plate 25 is disposed between clamping member 27 and rack 23. Clamping member 27 can limit mounting plate 25 to prevent mounting plate 25 from moving away from rack 23. This prevents gear 22 from moving away from rack 23, thus preventing the torque of gear 22 from being unable to be transmitted to rack 23.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first drive unit 21 may be disposed on the mounting base 24.

[0072] Furthermore, this application also provides a laser processing device, which includes a floating support device. The specific structure of the floating support device is as described in the above embodiments. Since the laser processing device adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments.
