Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic cutting, and in particular to a precision laser cutting machine for ceramic products. Background Technology

[0002] As a key link in precision manufacturing, ceramic cutting technology has been developed due to the need to process high-hardness and high-brittleness materials (such as alumina and silicon nitride). Although traditional mechanical cutting (such as diamond tools) can achieve an accuracy of ±0.05mm, there is a risk of stress damage. Laser cutting technology, through non-contact processing, controls the heat-affected zone to within 10μm, making it particularly suitable for aerospace ceramic components.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent discloses a guide rail assembly for a ceramic laser cutting machine (application number: 2024205826835). This application utilizes moving wheels and track grooves to make the guide table move more smoothly. By pulling the crossbar, the position of the laser cutting head can be adjusted, which is convenient for cutting different parts of the ceramic. By rotating the clamping block, the clamping surface of the clamping block can be adjusted, which is beneficial for fixing ceramics of different shapes and improves the practicality of the equipment.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned application still has technical limitations in use: the device is difficult to automate material unloading, and the operation mode of relying on manual unloading not only restricts production efficiency, but also increases the risk of breakage of ultra-thin ceramic parts (usually ≤3mm) during the transfer process; in addition, the clamping mechanism in the application adopts a rigid contact mechanical clamping block design, which is prone to local stress concentration when fixing highly brittle ceramic workpieces. Especially when the clamping force is not controlled properly, it is easy to cause micro-cracks or even structural failure, thus affecting the yield performance of laser cutting process in the field of ultra-precision ceramic processing. Especially in the context of the aerospace field where the surface integrity of ceramic parts is required to be strictly maintained, the room for improvement of the existing clamping solution needs to be expanded.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical shortcomings, a solution is proposed. Utility Model Content

A sliding frame 13 is also provided above the cutting table 1, with lead screw nuts fixedly mounted at both ends of the sliding frame 13. The lead screw nuts below the sliding frame 13 are threadedly connected to the ball screw 12. When the lead screw motor 11 starts, it drives the ball screw 12 to rotate, and the ball screw 12 drives the sliding frame 13 to move horizontally on the cutting table 1.

[0029] A second lead screw motor 14 is bolted to the top of the sliding frame 13. A second ball screw 15 is fixedly connected to the end of the drive shaft of the second lead screw motor 14. An L-frame 18 is slidably connected to the top of the sliding frame 13. A lead screw nut is fixedly installed at the bottom of one end of the L-frame 18. The lead screw nut at the bottom of the L-frame 18 is threadedly connected to the second ball screw 15. When the second lead screw motor 14 starts, it drives the second ball screw 15 to rotate. When the second ball screw 15 rotates, it drives the L-frame 18 to move horizontally above the sliding frame 13. A laser cutting head 19 is bolted to one side of the L-frame 18. An electric push rod 16 is also bolted to the top of the sliding frame 13. A push plate 17 is fixedly installed after the drive shaft of the electric push rod 16 passes through the sliding frame 13.

[0030] Above the cutting table 1, a placement plate 20 is fixedly installed by bolts. Inside the placement plate 20, a rotating disk 23 is rotatably connected. On both sides of the placement plate 20, a smoke extractor 21 is fixedly installed by bolts. An exhaust pipe 22 is installed at the air outlet of one end of the smoke extractor 21. The other end of the exhaust pipe 22 is connected to an external exhaust gas treatment mechanism. Above the placement plate 20, a stepper motor 24 is fixedly installed by bolts. The drive shaft of the stepper motor 24 extends into the placement plate 20 and a spur gear 25 is fixedly installed. On the outside of the rotating disk 23, an external gear ring 26 is fixedly connected. The external gear ring 26 meshes with the spur gear 25. When the stepper motor 24 starts, it drives the spur gear 25 to rotate. The spur gear 25 drives the electric push rod 16 and the rotating disk 23 inside it to rotate.

[0031] The rotating disk 23 is equipped with a lead screw motor 3. The drive shaft of the lead screw motor 3 is fixedly equipped with a bidirectional lead screw 27. The outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 27 is equipped with symmetrically distributed lead screw nuts. Above the lead screw nuts on the outer side of the bidirectional lead screw 27, there is a fixedly connected clamping plate 28. One side of the clamping plate 28 is equipped with a slidingly fitted clamping plate 29. Between the clamping plate 29 and the clamping plate 28, there are symmetrically distributed telescopic springs 30. The telescopic springs 30 are fitted with a limiting rod 31. The limiting rod 31 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 29 and slidably connected to the clamping plate 28. The rotating disk 23 is also equipped with a fixedly connected electric push rod 32. The drive shaft of the electric push rod 32 is fixedly equipped with a stop plate 33. A belt conveyor 4 is also placed on one side of the cutting table 1.

[0032] The working process and principle of this utility model are as follows:

[0033] When using, first restore the device to its original position as follows. Figure 1 As shown, the ceramic product to be cut is then placed above the rotating disk 23, with one end of the ceramic product abutting against one side of the stop plate 33 and in contact with the stop plate 33. Then the lead screw motor 3 is started. When the lead screw motor 3 is started, it drives the two clamping plates 1 28 to move inward synchronously. The clamping plates 1 28 drive the clamping plates 29 to move inward synchronously, thereby clamping the ceramic product on the rotating disk 23 in the center.

[0034] After clamping, the laser cutting head 19 can be started to cut the ceramic product. The fume extraction machine 21 can be started to remove the smoke and dust generated during cutting. The lead screw motor 11 and lead screw motor 24 can be started to realize the four-way movement of the laser cutting head 19. The stepper motor 24 can drive the rotating disk 23 to rotate through the spur gear 25 and the external gear ring 26, thereby adjusting the orientation of the ceramic product. After the ceramic product is cut, the stepper motor 24 can be started again to restore the rotating disk 23 to its original position. Figure 1 At the angle shown, the electric push rod 32 is then activated to lower the stop plate 33 to be flush with the rotating disk 23. The screw motor 3 is then activated to move the two clamping plates 28 away from the sides, thereby releasing the clamping of the ceramic product.

[0035] Then, the electric push rod 16 is started to move the push plate 17 down until the push plate 17 reaches one side of the ceramic product. Then, the screw motor 11 is started to move the sliding frame 13, thereby moving the push plate 17, and then moving the ceramic product cut on the rotating disk 23 to the belt conveyor 4 for unloading.
