Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper product manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a high-efficiency cutting device for multi-diameter copper pipes. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial manufacturing, copper tubes are an important material widely used in refrigeration, construction, automobiles, and many other fields. To improve the cutting efficiency and precision of copper tubes, automated cutting equipment has emerged. However, existing automated cutting equipment still has some limitations in adapting to the cutting of multi-diameter copper tubes. For example, although some equipment has automated conveying and cutting mechanisms, some parts still require manual adjustment.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent CN217913167U discloses a pipe cutting machine adaptable to multiple pipe diameters. When cutting seamless pipes, the operator only needs to insert the seamless pipe into the fixed pipe and then rotate the adjustment handle. The adjustment handle then drives the lead screw to rotate. Since the fixed pipe has internal threads, the lead screw moves inside the fixed pipe. The lead screw then drives the extrusion block to move until the extrusion block presses down on the seamless pipe. However, the above patent still relies on manually adjusting the clamp to clamp workpieces of different diameters. This step not only increases the complexity of operation but may also cause other safety production problems. For example, when adjusting the clamp, the operator may accidentally touch the cutting wheel on the cutting mechanism, increasing the risk of injury. Utility Model Content

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] Please see Figure 1-3A high-efficiency cutting device for multi-diameter copper pipes includes a worktable 1, on which a cutting mechanism is installed. The cutting mechanism includes a pair of symmetrically distributed vertical plates 2. A motor 3 is installed on the side wall of the left vertical plate 2. The output end of the motor 3 is fixedly connected to a drive shaft 4. A driven block 5 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the drive shaft 4. A motor 6 is installed on the left side wall of the driven block 5. The output end of the motor 6 is fixedly connected to a driven shaft 7. A cutting wheel 8 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the driven shaft 7. An intelligent clamping mechanism is also provided on the worktable 1. The workpiece is transported to the intelligent clamping mechanism by a conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism is existing technology and is therefore not shown in the figure of this solution. Starting the motor 3 drives the driven block 5 to rotate, and... Simultaneously, motor 6 is activated to cut the object on the motion trajectory of the cutting wheel 8. During this process, the motion trajectory of the cutting wheel 8 is the workpiece cutting area. After the workpiece is clamped, the part to be cut passes through the intelligent clamping mechanism, that is, the workpiece is located in the cutting area. The upper surface of the worktable 1 is provided with a material drop slope 101. The material drop slope 101 is a ramp and is located on the lower side of the workpiece cutting area. In specific implementation, corresponding guide rails can also be engraved on the material drop slope 101. A receiving box can be placed at the lower part of the slope 101. The cut workpiece will automatically roll into the receiving box. Personnel only need to periodically transfer the receiving box, without having to perform sorting work around the equipment for a long time, which can effectively reduce the labor intensity of personnel.

[0027] The intelligent clamping mechanism includes a fixed clamp 9 located on the upper end of the worktable 1, and the fixed clamp 9 is located on the side of the moving trajectory of the cutting wheel 8, thereby avoiding damage to the intelligent clamping mechanism during the cutting process. A pair of upright pipes 10 are also fixedly connected to the worktable 1. Each pair of upright pipes 10 has a sliding groove 1001 at the end closest to each other. A movable clamp 11 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 1001. A pneumatic push rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner top of the sliding groove 1001. During implementation, the pneumatic push rod 12 can be set according to the specifications of the copper pipes actually processed by the enterprise, so that the extension length of the output end of the pneumatic push rod 12 corresponds to each specification of workpiece, avoiding excessive clamping force that could cause deformation of the clamped part of the workpiece. The output end of the pneumatic push rod 12 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable clamp 11. The clamping part of the fixed clamp 9 is shaped like a "∨", and the clamping part of the movable clamp 11 is shaped like a "∧". When viewed from the side, the two clamping parts are shaped like a "◇". Workpieces of different pipe diameters are clamped through the "◇" shaped part. During the clamping process, multiple points of the workpiece can be synchronously limited. The fixed clamp 9 and the movable clamp 11 are staggered and there is an 8mm gap between them. This ensures that the movable clamp 11 does not directly contact the fixed clamp 9 during the sliding up and down along the slide groove 1001. More of the workpiece is clamped, which improves the stability of the clamping. The ends of the two clamping parts on the fixed clamp 9 and the movable clamp 11 that are close to each other are fixedly connected with rubber layers. The shape of the rubber layers matches the two clamping parts, which can effectively increase the friction between the workpiece and the two clamping parts, further improving the stability of the clamping.

[0028] Working principle: In the initial state, the output end of the pneumatic push rod 12 is in the retracted state. A workpiece of a predetermined length is fed to the intelligent clamping mechanism at regular intervals through the conveying mechanism. Then, the pneumatic push rod 12 is activated, and its output end extension length is controlled to match the specifications of the workpiece being processed, so that the clamping units of the fixed clamp 9 and the movable clamp 11 clamp and fix the workpiece. At this time, the workpiece is located in the cutting area of ​​the cutting wheel 8. After the cutting wheel 8 cuts the workpiece, it is automatically rolled into the receiving box through the drop slope 101. The output end of the pneumatic push rod 12 is reset, and the above process is repeated. Compared with the prior art, this utility model introduces an intelligent clamping mechanism to replace the traditional manual adjustment method, realizing fast and accurate clamping of copper pipes of multiple diameters. It eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustment of the clamps, significantly improves production efficiency and cutting operation flexibility, and greatly reduces the time that workers have to contact the equipment. It avoids the risk of workers accidentally touching the cutting wheel during the adjustment process, reduces the complexity of operation, and improves the overall safety of the operation.

[0029] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model; however, the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, based on the technical solution and its improved concept, should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
