Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of processing technology for the inner liner of a Type IV hydrogen storage bottle, specifically to a cutting machine for the weld seam of the inner liner of a Type IV hydrogen storage bottle. Background Technology

[0002] The injection-molded inner liner of the Type IV hydrogen storage cylinder is a key component, and its manufacturing quality directly affects the hydrogen storage efficiency and safety. For example... Figure 5 As shown, this type of inner liner is typically formed by injection molding and welding of two parts: the end cap 8 and the body 9. During the welding process, one or two weld beads 10 are formed at the weld joint. The height of the weld beads is usually higher than other injection-molded parts of the inner liner. This not only affects the appearance quality of the inner liner, but more importantly, it hinders the subsequent carbon fiber winding work, because the uneven weld bead surface makes it difficult to ensure the uniformity and tight bonding of the carbon fiber layer.

[0003] Currently, there is a lack of specialized equipment on the market for cutting the weld seams of hydrogen storage cylinder inner liners. Most manufacturers still use simple manual roller fixtures to rotate the product manually, combined with power tools for cutting. This method has several drawbacks: First, the cutting operation is time-consuming and inefficient; second, due to the uncontrollability of manual operation, the weld seam cut edges are inconsistent, the surface is uneven, and it is difficult to ensure the uniformity of the weld seam thickness; finally, this manual operation method results in a high scrap rate, increasing production costs.

[0004] Given the above situation, it is particularly important to develop a device that can automatically and precisely cut the weld seams of the inner liner of a Type IV hydrogen storage cylinder. Utility Model Content

[0056] The working process of the welding seam cutting machine for the inner liner of the Type IV hydrogen storage cylinder mainly includes the following steps:

[0057] Preparation and Positioning: The hydrogen storage cylinder inner liner to be processed is placed on the rotary clamping and positioning assembly. The rotary clamping and positioning assembly is driven by an internal rotary servo motor, utilizing a large gear and crossed roller bearings to achieve the rotational positioning of the inner liner. Simultaneously, the end face positioning seat and the workpiece shoulder positioning block (driven by a cylinder with a guide rod) work together to ensure accurate clamping and positioning of the inner liner; the lifting and limiting assembly adjusts its height according to the inner liner's diameter, supporting the workpiece with a support arm and cam follower to ensure stability; the tailstock clamping assembly adjusts its movement in the X direction according to the inner liner's length, achieving clamping and positioning of the other end of the inner liner through the combined action of a cylinder, sliding assembly, connecting block, and positioning block.

[0058] Parameter setting and recall: Within the equipment control system, select or input the corresponding formula according to the specifications of the inner liner to be processed. Each formula corresponds to a set of parameter information for each location within the equipment, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the cutting operation. If parameters for the same specifications have already been set, the product number can be directly recalled, saving time.

[0059] Cutting Operation: The cutting detection component begins operation. The first servo motor of the cutting detection component drives the ball screw assembly, moving the sliding mounting plate and the cutting device above it (including the Y-axis translation servo motor, the cutting detection component mounting plate, the Y-axis feed servo motor, the X-axis feed servo motor, and the electric spindle, etc.) to their initial positions. The electric spindle starts, and the end mill mounted at the front end begins the weld seam cutting operation. Simultaneously, the dust collector and the external high-negative-pressure dust collector begin operation, sucking up the waste chips generated during the cutting operation. The Y-axis translation servo motor and the X-axis feed servo motor drive the electric spindle to perform precise Y-axis and X-axis feed operations according to preset parameter information, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the cutting.

[0060] Inspection and Feedback: During the cutting operation, the line laser scanner performs dimensional inspection of the already cut portion; dust nozzles blow away any dust or debris that may be adhering to the lens surface, ensuring inspection accuracy; the inspection results are fed back to the equipment control center in real time. If the cutting results are abnormal, the equipment will generate an alarm and stop, awaiting manual intervention.

[0061] Completion and Reset: After the cutting operation and inspection are completed, each component begins to reset. The cutting and inspection component, tailstock clamping component, and lifting and limiting component automatically return to their initial or safe positions according to preset parameter information. The worker can then remove the finished inner liner, place a new inner liner to be processed, and repeat the above process.

[0062] The entire process is precisely controlled by the PLC's internal program to manage the movement and sequence of each component, enabling coordinated operation of multiple actions such as automatic cutting, automatic dust removal, and automatic detection. Simultaneously, the equipment's control system includes formulas tailored to different product specifications, allowing the equipment to flexibly handle the processing needs of inner liner sizes, significantly improving the production efficiency of workpiece weld cutting and product qualification.

[0063] This Type IV hydrogen storage cylinder inner liner weld cutting machine uses a PLC internal program to precisely control the movement of the milling cutter and line laser scanner. Combined with the machine's servo drive mechanism, it performs multiple actions including automatic cutting, automatic dust removal, and automatic detection. Detection results are fed back to the equipment control center in real time. An alarm is triggered and the machine stops for manual intervention when abnormal cutting results occur. This allows for timely monitoring of the machine's cutting performance. The control system is equipped with formulas for different product specifications. Each formula corresponds to a set of parameters for each product within the machine. Parameters only need to be set once for each product; subsequent production runs can directly use the product number. This significantly improves the production efficiency and product quality of weld cutting while greatly reducing scrap.
