[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments:
[0041] See Figures 1-15 A double-cutting machine includes a turntable unit 1, a feeding machine 2, a double-sided cutting unit 3, a single-sided cutting unit 4, and a material rolling mechanism 5.
[0042] The turntable unit 1 includes a first drive unit, a turntable 11 driven by the first drive unit to rotate, and several turntable fixtures 6 mounted on the turntable 11. As one option, the first drive unit and the turntable 11 can be hydraulic turntables. Of course, the first drive unit can also be a motor, which drives the turntable 11 to rotate. To make the turntable unit more aesthetically pleasing, a housing 12 can be further provided to hide the first drive unit inside. The turntable 11 is arranged above the housing 12. The housing 12 must be designed to ensure that it does not affect the normal rotation of the turntable.
[0043] As one embodiment, it also includes a base 13, on which the bottom of the turntable unit 1 is mounted. For example, the outer shell 12 or the first drive unit is mounted on the base 13. Furthermore, it can be mounted in the middle position of the base 13 to reserve space on the base 13 for mounting other devices, such as the feeder 2, the double-sided cutting unit 3, the single-sided cutting unit 4, and the material rolling mechanism 5.
[0044] In this embodiment, four turntable fixtures 6 are installed on the upper side of the turntable 11. The four turntable fixtures 6 are evenly distributed so that when the turntable 11 rotates a quarter circumference angle (90 degrees), the turntable fixtures 6 can accurately move to the next process step. As for how to control the turntable to stop after rotating a quarter circumference angle and to restart rotating a quarter circumference angle after the corresponding workstation is completed, the electrical control method can refer to existing designs, such as designing relevant sensors, controllers, etc.
[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the feeding machine 2 is arranged at station one, the double-sided cutting unit 3 is arranged at station two, the single-sided cutting unit 4 is arranged at station three, the material rolling mechanism 5 is arranged at station four, and the four turntable fixtures 6 correspond to the corresponding stations. After the turntable fixture 6 takes the material from the feeding machine 2 rotates one movement (90 degrees), the turntable fixture 6 stops at station two, and so on.
[0046] For turntable fixture 6, such as Figure 8 As shown, it includes a turntable fixture housing 61 and a clamping unit mounted on the turntable fixture housing 61. Specifically, the clamping unit includes a first chuck 62 fixed to the turntable fixture housing 61 and a second chuck 63 slidably disposed on the turntable fixture housing 61. The second chuck 63 is controlled by a driving member disposed on the turntable fixture housing 61 to control its longitudinal movement. As one option, the driving member can be a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, an oil cylinder, etc. The driving member can be specifically mounted on... Figure 8 The location shown is point A.
[0047] The second chuck 63 can be mounted on the slider, which is slidably connected to the slide rail. Two slide rails can be arranged longitudinally and are parallel to each other. The slide rails are fixed to the inner wall of the turntable fixture housing 61, thereby realizing the sliding connection of the second chuck 63.
[0048] In this embodiment, the clamping surface of the outer end of the first chuck 62 is adapted to the shape of the lower surface of the material, and the clamping surface of the outer end of the second chuck 63 is adapted to the shape of the upper surface of the material, so as to improve the clamping firmness of the material and not damage the material surface.
[0049] In this embodiment, as Figure 7 As shown, the outer side plate 611 of the turntable fixture housing 61 is provided with a through hole 612 for the outer ends of the first chuck 62 and the second chuck 63 to extend to the outside of the turntable fixture housing. The through hole 612 is reserved with space for the second chuck 63 to move longitudinally. Thus, while hiding most of the internal structure of the turntable fixture housing 61, the normal operation of the turntable fixture is not affected.
[0050] For feeder 2, such as Figure 1-5 As shown, it includes a first support 21. A drive roller 221 and a driven roller 222 are respectively installed at the front and rear ends of the upper part of the first support 21. A conveyor belt 223 for transporting materials is wound around the drive roller 221 and the driven roller 222. The drive roller 221 is driven by a motor, which can be fixed to the first support 21, such as on one of its legs, so that the motor drives the drive roller 221 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 223 to circulate. For controlling how to stop the conveyor belt after it has traveled a certain distance and then continue forward a certain distance after the first row of materials has been pushed, existing designs can be referenced, such as designing relevant sensors and controllers.
[0051] As one implementation method, such as Figure 2 As shown, materials are arranged row by row from front to back, with each row containing multiple materials. After all the materials in front have been pushed, workers can replenish materials from behind conveyor belt 223 when it is stopped, or by using a material tray. Figure 2 All materials shown are placed on conveyor belt 223 at once.
[0052] In this embodiment, the first support 21 is also provided with a feeding unit, which includes a first feeding unit and a second feeding unit. The first feeding unit is used to push the first row of materials to move laterally and push the materials one by one to the second feeding unit. Then, the second feeding unit feeds them into the clamping unit of the turntable fixture, where the clamping unit clamps them and sends them to the next workstation for processing.
[0053] Specifically, the first feeding unit includes a sixth drive unit 22, a ball screw 23 connected to the sixth drive unit 22, and a first pusher 24 mounted on the nut of the ball screw. The sixth drive unit 22 can be a servo motor, which is mounted on the first bracket 21. Specifically, a fixing member can be fixed on the upper part of the first bracket 21, and the servo motor can be fixed on the fixing member. The two ends of the ball screw 23 are rotatably mounted on the first bracket 21. Specifically, a fixing member can be fixed at both ends of the upper part of the first bracket 21, and the two ends of the ball screw 23 are rotatably mounted on the corresponding fixing member. Of course, bearings can be added at the rotatable connection.
[0054] The first pusher 24 is fixed to the nut of the ball screw. Furthermore, two guide posts 251 are fixed to the fixing member. The two ends of each guide post 251 are fixed to a corresponding fixing member. A guide sleeve 252 is slidably mounted on each guide post 251. The first pusher 24 is fixed to the guide sleeve 252. After the sixth drive unit 22 drives the screw to rotate, the screw nut moves laterally, causing the first pusher 24 to move laterally. In the initial stage, the lower end of the first pusher 24 is located on the right side of the first row of materials (within the first row). Figure 2 (At a mid-angle), after the first pusher 24 moves laterally, it can push the first row of materials to the left until the leftmost material enters the second feeding unit. Then, the sixth drive unit 22 stops operating and restarts when the next material needs to be conveyed. For how to control the start and stop of the sixth drive unit, existing designs can be referenced, such as designing relevant sensors and controllers.
[0055] For the response after the first pusher 24 has pushed a row of materials, existing designs can be referenced, such as using a forward and reverse motor or a bidirectional screw structure.
[0056] The second feeding unit includes a seventh drive unit 26, a second pusher 27 driven by the seventh drive unit 26 to move back and forth, and a feeding channel 28 arranged on the travel path of the second pusher 27. The seventh drive unit 26 can be a cylinder, and its cylinder rod is connected to the second pusher 27. The second pusher 27 is slidably mounted on the first bracket 21. For example, the second pusher 27 is fixed on the slider, the slide rail is fixed on the first bracket 21, and the slider is slidably connected to the slide rail.
[0057] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the feeding channel is composed of two spaced baffles 281. Its discharge end corresponds to the clamping unit of the turntable fixture 6, and its feed end is reserved with a notch 282 for the material on the conveyor belt to enter. The notch 282 can be formed by shortening the length of the baffle 281 at that point. That is, the first row of material and the notch 282 are on the same straight line so that after the first row of material is pushed to move laterally, the material can enter the feeding channel 28 through the notch 282. Then, the material is pushed to the clamping unit of the turntable fixture 6 by the second pusher 27. Of course, the feeding channel 28 is located on the movement path of the second pusher 27, and the front end of the second pusher 27 can be adapted to the shape of the material.
[0058] After the material is clamped in the clamping unit of the turntable fixture 6, it is moved to the double-sided cutting unit 3 at station 2 by rotation.
[0059] For double-sided cutting unit 3, such as Figures 9-11 As shown, it includes a second bracket 31, on which a plurality of longitudinally arranged guide columns 32 are mounted. A first body 33 is slidably arranged on the guide columns 32. A third drive unit 34 and a first reducer connected to the third drive unit 34 are arranged on the first body 33. Two saw blades 7 are arranged at intervals from left to right on the output shaft of the first reducer. The two saw blades 7 rotate synchronously.
[0060] In one embodiment, a first reducer is disposed inside a first machine body 33, with its output shaft extending outside the first machine body 33. A saw blade 7 is mounted at the outer end of the output shaft. A side plate 331 of the first machine body 33 extends from one side of the second bracket 31 to its outer end, and a fixing plate 332 is fixed at the outer end of the side plate 331. Figure 11 As shown, the fixing plate 332 is located on the outside of the second bracket 31. Specifically, it can be designed to be parallel to the outer facade of the second bracket 31. The third drive unit 34 is fixed on the fixing plate 332 to improve space utilization.
[0061] In this embodiment, a second drive unit 35 is also fixedly mounted on the top of the second support 31. The output end of the second drive unit 35 is connected to the first machine body 33 to control its longitudinal movement. As one implementation method, the second drive unit 35 is a servo motor, which is connected to the first machine body 33 via a ball screw and can control its up and down movement, thereby controlling the two saw blades 7 to cut from top to bottom. The material pattern after cutting at this station is as follows: Figure 15 The second material shown. After cutting, it retracts upwards and enters a pending state.
[0062] In this embodiment, the first body 33, the third drive unit 34, and the two saw blades 7 can be collectively referred to as the first cutting mechanism.
[0063] After the cutting is completed at station two, the turntable rotates 90 degrees again to transfer the material to station three, namely single-sided cutting unit 4.
[0064] For the single-sided cutting unit 4, there are two sets, arranged on the left and right sides of the workstation, such as... Figure 12 , Figure 13 As shown, the two single-sided cutting units 4 have the same structure. However, the difference between them and the double-sided cutting unit 3 is that the double-sided cutting unit 3 integrates two saw blades 7, while each single-sided cutting unit 4 has a separate saw blade 7. Of course, the saw blades 7 on the two single-sided cutting units 4 can be the same or different in size, depending on the material requirements.
[0065] Specifically, the single-sided cutting unit 4 includes a third support 41, on which a number of longitudinally arranged guide columns 42 are installed. A second body 43 is slidably arranged on the guide columns 42. A fifth drive unit 44 and a second reducer connected to the fifth drive unit 44 are arranged on the second body 43. A saw blade 7 is arranged on the output shaft of the second reducer.
[0066] In one embodiment, the second reducer is disposed inside the second body 43, and its output shaft extends outside the second body 43. The saw blade 7 is mounted at the outer end of the output shaft. A side plate 431 of the second body 43 extends from one side of the third bracket 41 to its outer end, and a fixing plate 432 is fixed at the outer end of the side plate 431. Figure 11 As shown, the second fixing plate 432 is located on the outside of the third bracket 41. Specifically, it can be designed to be parallel to the outer facade of the third bracket 41. The fifth drive unit 44 is fixed on the second fixing plate 432 to improve space utilization.
[0067] In this embodiment, a fourth drive unit 45 is also fixedly mounted on the top of the third support 41. The output end of the fourth drive unit 45 is connected to the second machine body 43 to control its longitudinal movement. As one implementation method, the fourth drive unit 45 is a servo motor, which is connected to the second machine body 43 via a ball screw and can control its up and down movement, thereby controlling the saw blade 7 to cut from top to bottom. The material pattern after cutting at this station is as follows: Figure 15 The third material shown in the diagram is used to cut out excess material by matching the slot cut by the double-sided cutting unit 3. After cutting, it retracts upwards and enters a waiting state.
[0068] In this embodiment, the second body 43, the fifth drive unit 44, and the corresponding saw blade 7 can be collectively referred to as the second cutting mechanism.
[0069] After the cutting is completed at station three, the turntable 11 rotates 90 degrees again to transfer the material to station four, namely the material rolling mechanism 5. Then, the second chuck 63 on the turntable fixture 6 moves upward to release the processed material.
[0070] For the material feeding mechanism 5, such as Figure 14 As shown, it includes a fourth support 51 and a cylinder 52 fixed on the fourth support 51. After the cylinder 52 is activated, the cylinder push rod 53 moves laterally, pushing the material from the turntable fixture 6 onto the discharge ramp 54, and finally falling into the collection box. Of course, the upper end of the discharge ramp 54 is located below the exposed clamp, and its width is sufficient to ensure that the material can be caught after being pushed. A rubber part can be installed on the outer end of the cylinder push rod to avoid damaging the material when pushing it down.
[0071] This cycle continues, and of course, the four rotary fixtures 6 can simultaneously process the corresponding materials at the corresponding workstations.
[0072] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
