[0002] In underfloor heating systems, extruded polystyrene (XPS) boards, as an important insulation material, often require grooves to be carved into them for laying heating pipes. Traditional manual carving methods are inefficient, lack precision, and generate debris and dust that can pollute the work environment and affect the health of workers. While existing carving machines can improve efficiency, they still fall short in protecting against and collecting debris and dust generated during the carving process on XPS boards for underfloor heating systems. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a carving machine for the grooves of extruded polystyrene boards for underfloor heating, so as to solve the problem of debris and dust easily overflowing and polluting the environment during the carving process.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows.

[0005] A carving machine for extruded polystyrene (XPS) board pipes in underfloor heating systems includes a machine tool for horizontally placing XPS boards and a PLC controller located on one side of the machine tool. Electric guide rails are horizontally arranged along the length of the machine tool on both the front and rear sides. A gantry frame spans the width of the machine tool and is mounted on the slider of the electric guide rails. A carving mechanism is mounted on the gantry frame, and a carving motor capable of longitudinal and horizontal movement along the width of the machine tool is mounted on the carving mechanism. The rotating shaft of the carving motor is downward-facing and connected to a carving cutter. A protective mechanism is located at the bottom of the carving motor to prevent the spillage of chips and dust generated during the carving process. The protective mechanism includes a protective cover surrounding the rotating shaft of the carving motor. The bottom of the protective cover is open, and protective brushes are arranged circumferentially to enclose the carving cutter. A chip discharge port is connected to the side of the protective cover, and the chip discharge port is connected to a bag filter dust collector via a pipe. The output terminal of the PLC controller is connected to the controlled terminals of the electric guide rails, the carving mechanism, the carving motor, and the bag filter dust collector.

[0006] Preferably, the engraving mechanism includes a horizontal guide rail horizontally arranged on the gantry along the width direction of the machine tool and two translation drive telescopic cylinders located at both ends of the horizontal guide rail. The controlled end of the translation drive telescopic cylinder is connected to the output end of the PLC controller. Two translation seats are slidably mounted on the horizontal guide rail, and the two translation seats are fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the translation drive telescopic cylinder on the same side.

[0007] Preferably, the translational base is provided with a lifting drive telescopic cylinder, the controlled end of the lifting drive telescopic cylinder is connected to the output end of the PLC controller, the telescopic rod of the lifting drive telescopic cylinder is set downward and connected to the longitudinal base; the engraving motor is set on the longitudinal base.

[0008] Preferably, the translation seat is provided with two longitudinally arranged longitudinal guide rails located on both sides of the translation seat, and the translation seat is slidably assembled with the longitudinal guide rails on both sides.

[0009] Preferably, the upper surface of the machine tool is provided with clamping mechanisms for clamping the extruded board from both sides along its front and rear edges; the clamping mechanism includes a plurality of clamping telescopic cylinders spaced apart along the length of the machine tool, and the clamping telescopic cylinders along the front and rear edges are staggered, and the controlled end of the clamping telescopic cylinder is connected to the output end of the PLC controller.

[0010] Due to the adoption of the above technical solutions, the technological progress achieved by this utility model is as follows.

[0011] This invention effectively prevents debris and dust from easily spilling out: the protective brush at the bottom of the protective cover does not affect the movement of the carving knife and effectively prevents debris and dust from spilling out; the bag filter can promptly suck away and collect the debris and dust wrapped inside the protective cover, avoiding pollution of the working environment, helping to create a clean and healthy working environment, and reducing potential health hazards to workers.

[0012] This invention can improve engraving efficiency: by setting two engraving motors that can move horizontally and vertically, the engraving blade can be driven to engrave the extruded board at the same time. When it is necessary to engrave symmetrical patterns, the engraving efficiency can be greatly improved and the engraving time can be reduced.

[0013] This invention effectively guarantees carving quality: the longitudinal guide rail on the translation seat ensures the stability of the longitudinal movement of the translation seat, thereby ensuring the longitudinal movement accuracy of the carving tool and improving carving quality. Simultaneously, the gantry structure and the electric guide rails on the front and rear sides of the machine tool enable the carving mechanism to move stably laterally on the machine tool, further guaranteeing the stability and quality of the carving.

[0018] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] A carving machine for grooved pipes in extruded polystyrene (XPS) floor heating systems, combined with Figure 1 As shown, the machine tool includes a machine tool 1, which is used to horizontally place extruded polystyrene boards. Electric guide rails 2 are respectively provided on the front and rear sides of the machine tool 1. The electric guide rails 2 are horizontally arranged along the length direction of the machine tool 1. A gantry frame 3 is provided on the slider of the electric guide rail 2. The gantry frame 3 spans above the machine tool 1 along the width direction. An engraving mechanism 4 is provided on the gantry frame 3. An engraving motor 47 is provided on the engraving mechanism 4. The engraving motor 47 can move longitudinally and horizontally along the width direction of the machine tool 1. The rotating shaft of the engraving motor 47 is arranged downward and connected to an engraving cutter 48. A protective mechanism 5 is provided at the bottom of the engraving motor 47 to prevent the spillage of debris and dust generated during the engraving process.

[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, the engraving mechanism 4 includes a horizontal guide rail 41 horizontally arranged on the gantry 3 along the width direction of the machine tool 1 and two translation drive telescopic cylinders 43. The two translation drive telescopic cylinders 43 are located at both ends of the horizontal guide rail 41. Two translation seats 42 are slidably mounted on the horizontal guide rail 41. The two translation seats 42 are fixedly connected to the telescopic rods of the translation drive telescopic cylinders 43 on the same side. The translation drive telescopic cylinders 43 can drive the corresponding translation seats 42 to move horizontally along the horizontal guide rail 41.

[0021] A lifting drive telescopic cylinder 44 is installed on the translation base 42. The telescopic rod of the lifting drive telescopic cylinder 44 is set downward and connected to the longitudinal base 46. The engraving motor 47 is installed on the longitudinal base 46, so that the engraving motor 47 can move horizontally along the length direction of the machine tool 1 driven by the electric guide rail 2, move horizontally along the width direction of the machine tool 1 driven by the translation drive telescopic cylinder 43, and move longitudinally driven by the lifting drive telescopic cylinder 44. At the same time, by setting two engraving motors 47 that can move horizontally and longitudinally, the two engraving motors 47 can drive the engraving cutter 48 to engrave simultaneously, thereby improving the engraving efficiency, especially when engraving symmetrical patterns on extruded boards.

[0022] The translation base 42 is provided with two longitudinally arranged longitudinal guide rails 45, which are located on both sides of the translation base 46. The translation base 46 is slidably assembled with the longitudinal guide rails 45 on both sides, thereby improving the stability of the longitudinal movement of the translation base 46 and ensuring the carving quality.

[0023] The protective mechanism 5 includes a protective cover 51 located at the bottom of the engraving motor 47, surrounding the rotating shaft of the engraving motor 47. The bottom of the protective cover 51 is open, and protective brushes 52 are arranged circumferentially, enclosing the engraving cutter 48. A chip discharge port 53 is connected to the side of the protective cover 51, and the chip discharge port 53 is connected to a bag filter 54 through a pipe. The bag filter 54 is located on one side of the machine tool 1. When the engraving motor 47 drives the engraving cutter 48 to engrave, the protective brushes 52 not only do not affect the movement of the engraving cutter 48, but also enclose the generated chips and dust, preventing them from spilling out. At the same time, the bag filter 54 sucks away the enclosed chips and dust for collection.

[0024] The upper surface of machine tool 1 is equipped with clamping mechanisms along its front and rear edges. These clamping mechanisms are used to clamp the extruded polystyrene board from both sides, thereby achieving positioning of the board during the engraving process and ensuring engraving quality. Figure 3 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a plurality of clamping telescopic cylinders 6 spaced apart along the length of the machine tool 1, and the clamping telescopic cylinders 6 on the front and rear edges are staggered.

[0025] A PLC controller 7 is installed on one side of the machine tool 1. The output terminals of the PLC controller 7 are connected to the controlled terminals of the clamping mechanism, the electric guide rail 2, the engraving mechanism 4, and the protective mechanism 5, respectively. Specifically, they are connected to the controlled terminals of the clamping telescopic cylinder 6, the electric guide rail 2, the translational drive telescopic cylinder 43, the lifting drive telescopic cylinder 44, the engraving motor 47, and the bag filter 54. The PLC controller 7 is equipped with a control panel for human-machine interaction. The operator sets the engraving information through the control panel, and the PLC controller 7 controls the clamping telescopic cylinder 6, the electric guide rail 2, the translational drive telescopic cylinder 43, the lifting drive telescopic cylinder 44, and the engraving motor 47 to work together to complete the engraving, and controls the bag filter 54 to collect debris and dust.

[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:

[0027] I. Initial setup and placement of extruded polystyrene boards to be processed

[0028] First, the operator sets the engraving information, such as the engraving pattern and engraving depth, through the control panel of the PLC controller 7. Then, the extruded polystyrene board to be engraved is placed horizontally on the upper surface of the machine tool 1, and the front and rear sides of the extruded polystyrene board are clamped and positioned by the clamping telescopic cylinders 6. Because the clamping telescopic cylinders 6 are staggered along the front and rear edges, the extruded polystyrene board can be clamped more effectively from both sides, ensuring that the extruded polystyrene board does not move during the engraving process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the engraving.

[0029] II. Carving Process

[0030] The PLC controller 7 controls the electric guide rail 2 to start according to the engraving information. The slider of the electric guide rail 2 drives the gantry 3 to move along the length of the machine tool 1. At the same time, the two translation drive telescopic cylinders 43 drive the translation seat 42 to move along the width of the machine tool 1 on the horizontal guide rail 41 according to the instructions. The lifting drive telescopic cylinder 44 drives the longitudinal seat 46 to move longitudinally along the longitudinal guide rail 45, so that the engraving motor 47 reaches the predetermined working position.

[0031] After the engraving motor 47 starts, it drives the engraving blade 48 to perform the engraving work. During this process, since two engraving motors 47 are set up, when it is necessary to engrave symmetrical patterns on the extruded board, the two engraving motors 47 can work simultaneously according to the set program, which greatly improves the engraving efficiency.

[0032] III. Debris and Dust Protection and Collection

[0033] When the engraving motor 47 generates chips and dust, the protective brush 52 at the bottom of the protective cover 51 blocks the chips and dust inside the protective cover 51 without affecting the normal engraving action of the engraving knife 48. At the same time, the bag filter 54 is connected to the protective cover 51 through the chip discharge port 53 and starts working under the control of the PLC controller 7, sucking the chips and dust inside the protective cover 51 into the bag filter 54 for collection, thus preventing the chips and dust from polluting the working environment.

[0034] IV. Carving Completion Operation

[0035] Once the engraving is complete, the PLC controller 7 controls the clamping telescopic cylinder 6 to release the clamp on the extruded board. The electric guide rail 2, the translation drive telescopic cylinder 43, the lifting drive telescopic cylinder 44, and the engraving motor 47 stop working. The bag filter 54 continues to work until the debris in the collection chamber is cleaned. The worker then takes out the engraved extruded board, completing the entire engraving process.
