Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser cutting and welding technology, and in particular to a multi-directional anti-collision protection device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, the only protective measure used in the industry is a hollow screw to protect the laser head. This screw separates the laser head emitter from the main body and connects them to the laser head body, thus reducing the overall rigidity. In the event of an impact, the hollow screw breaks, the emitter falls off, and the main body of the laser head is prevented from being further damaged.
[0003] In practical use, hollow screws require a certain force to break, which is considered a hard impact and causes irreversible damage to the laser head, lifting rod, lifting guide rail, lead screw, motor, and machine tool axes. If the emitter breaks during cutting and welding, the dust concentration is very high and directly enters the laser head cavity, causing pollution and frequently burning lenses later, which the manufacturer cannot completely eliminate. In addition, replacing anti-collision screws requires machine downtime, delaying cutting work, and replacing anti-collision screws is a delicate and professional task that is difficult for ordinary operators. Frequent impacts to the laser head can easily damage it. It only provides anti-collision protection in the horizontal direction, not in the Z-axis direction. The hollow anti-collision screws are ineffective when the stress deformation, warping, and thermal deformation of the sheet metal impact the laser head at high speed.
[0004] Currently, the laser cutting and laser welding industries commonly suffer from problems such as laser heads easily colliding with plates, easily wearing down the cutting nozzle, and "frog jumping" (a type of laser head movement). When the laser head is impacted, it damages both the laser head and machine tool components, requiring replacement or repair. If the laser machine tool supplier is located far from the customer, they must wait for an engineer to come to their location for repairs and parts replacement, significantly impacting the precision of the laser machine tool and normal factory production.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.
[0035] Multi-directional anti-collision protection devices, such as Figures 1 to 8 As shown, it includes: a swing arm rocker arm 9 and a main mounting body 5 that cooperate with each other. The front end of the swing arm rocker arm 9 is fixedly mounted with a front laser head mounting plate 3 by multiple bolts. The front end of the front laser head mounting plate 3 is fixedly mounted with a laser head connecting plate 2. The front end of the laser head connecting plate 2 is fixedly mounted with a working laser head 1.
[0036] The front end of the main mounting body 5 is provided with a front mounting plate 4 with a sealing mounting ring groove. Multiple grooves are equally spaced on the side of the front end of the front mounting plate 4. A threaded hole is provided on the back wall of the groove. The threaded hole penetrates the front mounting plate 4 and extends into the interior of the main mounting body 5. A bolt is installed in the internal thread of the threaded hole.
[0037] The rear end of the main mounting body 5 is provided with a rear mounting plate 8, and the back of the rear mounting plate 8 is provided with a rear fixed mounting plate 6. Multiple through holes are equidistantly opened on the back of the rear fixed mounting plate 6, and the through holes penetrate the rear mounting plate 8. A threaded hole 2 is opened at the position of the through hole at the rear end of the main mounting body 5. Positioning bolts 7 are installed in the internal threads of the threaded hole 2 and the through hole.
[0038] The front laser head mounting plate 3 and the rear fixed mounting plate 6 are the same size, and both have multiple mounting holes on their front sides, which can accommodate various models of working laser heads 1 without changing the original structure.
[0039] The front end of the rocker arm 9 is a round rod, and the rear end is a frustum. The large circular surface of the frustum is connected to the round rod, and its diameter is larger than the end diameter of the round rod. A counter-pressure spring 17 is provided on the side of the frustum, and a spring mounting groove 15 is provided on the back of the rocker arm 9. A tension spring 16 is provided inside the spring mounting groove 15.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, the tail end of the main mounting body 5 is provided with a cylindrical mounting groove, the rocker arm 9 is set inside the cylindrical mounting groove, and the round rod passes through the front wall of the cylindrical mounting groove and extends outward. The rear mounting plate 8 is used to cover the cylindrical mounting groove, and the front end face of the rear mounting plate 8 is in contact with the tension spring 16 and the counter-pressure spring 17.
[0041] A sealing mounting groove is provided on the side of the front wall of the cylindrical mounting groove. A sealing ring 14 is fixedly installed inside the sealing mounting groove. The sealing ring 14 fits against the large circular surface of the frustum of the swing arm rocker arm 9. The side of the front face of the frustum is set as an arc surface, which cooperates with the inner wall of the cylindrical mounting groove. A certain distance is provided between the front mounting plate 4 and the front laser head mounting plate 3. When the working laser head 1 collides, the swing arm rocker arm 9 will not be restricted by the cylindrical mounting groove and the front laser head mounting plate 3, and will not be unable to deflect.
[0042] like Figure 4 As shown, the front end face of the main mounting body 5 is provided with a mounting ring groove, and the back wall of the mounting ring groove is provided with multiple mounting holes at equal intervals. The mounting holes are connected to the cylindrical mounting groove, and a high-precision position detection switch 13 is fixedly installed inside the mounting holes.

In addition, the metal dustproof net 10 is made of double-layer steel wire mesh, which effectively resists the high temperature of the whole device during operation, ensuring its service life and protective ability.
[0049] Working principle:
[0050] Reference Figures 1 to 8 Assemble the device as shown in the figure;
[0051] The rear fixed mounting plate 6 is connected to the industrial robot or laser machine tool, and the working laser head 1 is connected to the front laser head mounting plate 3, completing the installation and connection of the entire anti-collision system with the laser machine tool or industrial robot; the air pipe connector 26 is connected to the air pipe, continuously inputting compressed air to maintain stable internal air pressure, so as to further compress the swing arm rocker arm 9, and adjust the internal input air pressure according to the external installation load to adjust the impact force sensing sensitivity; four high-precision position detection switches 13 are installed on the displacement sensing circuit board 12 and on the main mounting body 5, wherein the high-precision position detection switches 13 pass through the holes on the main mounting body 5 and contact the swing arm rocker arm 9, and at the same time, the switch is pressed down to trigger.
[0052] Example 1, refer to Figure 9When the working laser head 1 collides with the front and back sides, the swing arm 9 retracts and compresses the tension spring 16 and the counter-pressure spring 17 to buffer the impact. At the same time, the high-precision position detection switch 13 springs back, the displacement sensing circuit board 12 disconnects and sends a signal. Since the displacement of the swing arm 9 will change the internal air pressure, the pressure sensor 19 will also send an alarm signal simultaneously. Multiple alarm signals will cause the movement to stop immediately to prevent greater damage to the working laser head 1.
[0053] When it experiences an offset impact from above or below, the side wall (sloping surface) of the truncated cone portion of the swing arm 9 contacts the counter-pressure spring 17, allowing the swing arm 9 to swing up or down under the elastic force of the counter-pressure spring 17. This transforms the hard impact into a soft impact, thus better buffering the impact force and preventing damage to the working laser head 1. Simultaneously, multiple alarm signals are triggered, and the equipment immediately stops operating.
[0054] Example 2, refer to Figure 10 When the working laser head 1 experiences a side collision, the impact on the central mounting part will cause the rocker arm 9 to tilt and compress the tension spring 16 and the counter-pressure spring 17 to buffer the impact. Its effect is the same as the upper and lower offset impact effect in the frontal collision in Embodiment 1.
[0055] When a collision occurs on the side, the torque generated by the collision will cause the working laser head 1 to rotate and displace the swing arm 9. After the swing arm 9 rotates and displaces, it will disengage from the positioning screw and be lifted by the positioning screw. At the same time, the four high-precision position detection switches 13 sense the displacement of the swing arm 9 and send a signal. The equipment stops working and waits for inspection and reset.
[0056] In Example 3, when the working laser head 1 experiences a bottom impact, during the operation of the laser equipment, the working laser head 1 needs to be close to the workpiece being cut. Therefore, in an impact accident, the impact from below is the most likely to occur. In this collision protection device, when a bottom impact occurs, the effect is the same as the effect of the top and bottom offset impact in the frontal collision in Example 1.
[0057] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
