Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser tube cutting machine technology, and more specifically to a side-mounted laser tube cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of the manufacturing industry, laser cutting technology for pipes has been widely applied in various fields such as machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and construction engineering. Traditional pipe cutting machines, when cutting long pipes, are prone to sagging due to the lack of effective support at the pipe's front end, affecting cutting accuracy and potentially leading to processing errors. Furthermore, existing pipe cutting machines typically use fixed support methods, making it difficult to adapt to pipes of different diameters, lengths, and weights, reducing the equipment's adaptability and processing efficiency. During the cutting process, the front clamping assembly needs to move forward, and traditional support mechanisms struggle to flexibly avoid this movement, affecting the smoothness of the cutting process. Therefore, designing a front clamping assembly that can effectively support long pipes and flexibly avoid the movement of the cutting head has become an important direction for the technological improvement of pipe cutting equipment. Utility Model Content

The front receiving assembly includes a base and a support plate that can move up and down and is connected to the base. The support plate has a folding part that can be flipped downwards on the side near the front clamping assembly. A plurality of first hinges are provided between the support plate and the folding part. A first cylinder is provided at the bottom of the support plate, and the piston rod of the first cylinder is connected to the folding part.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a support frame is connected below the support plate, the support plate is connected to the base through the support frame, the base is provided with a vertical slide rail, and the support plate is provided with a slider that matches the slide rail.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.
[0023] Please refer to a side-mounted laser tube cutting machine. Figure 1-3 The system includes a pipe cutting machine body 100 and a front receiving assembly 200 located at the front end of the pipe cutting machine body 100. The pipe cutting machine body 100 is equipped with a front clamping assembly 110 and a rear clamping assembly 120 that can clamp the pipe and move horizontally. The front clamping assembly 110 and the rear clamping assembly 120 are mainly used to fix and support the pipe, ensuring a stable and efficient cutting process and guaranteeing cutting accuracy. The front clamping assembly 110 and the rear clamping assembly 120 are horizontally movable on the pipe cutting machine body 100. Generally, the pipe cutting machine body 100 is also equipped with a laser cutting head for cutting the pipe. Figure 1As shown, the pipe held by the front clamping assembly 110 extends forward to a considerable length. Since such long pipes sag when cut without support at the front end, affecting cutting accuracy, the front receiving assembly 200 is needed to support the pipe and ensure cutting precision. The front receiving assembly 200 includes a base 210 and a support plate 220 that is vertically movable and connected to the base 210. The front receiving assembly 200 supports the pipe during processing via the support plate 220, preventing sagging and ensuring processing accuracy. The vertically movable support plate 220 allows for height adjustment to accommodate pipes of different sizes. The support plate 220 has a downward-flipping folding part 230 on the side near the front clamping assembly 110. Multiple first hinges 221 are provided between the support plate 220 and the folding part 230. A first cylinder 222 is provided at the bottom of the support plate 220. The piston rod of the first cylinder 222 is connected to the folding part 230. When the piston rod of the first cylinder 222 is pushed out, the folding part 230 flips up to form the same horizontal height as the support plate 220 to support the pipe at the same time. When it is necessary to cut the pipe part between the front clamping assembly 110 and the rear clamping assembly 120 during processing, the front clamping assembly 110 needs to be moved to a more forward position so that the cutting head can cut normally. The piston rod of the first cylinder 222 retracts, and the folding part 230 can flip downward to avoid the forward movement of the front clamping assembly 110, ensuring that the pipe can be cut. At the same time, the front part of the pipe can still be supported by the support plate 220. The structure of the front receiving assembly 200 ensures support function and allows for flexible avoidance of the positional movement of the front card assembly 110 via the flip-out folding part 230, thus providing greater functionality.
[0024] Furthermore, a support frame 240 is connected below the support plate 220. The support plate 220 is connected to the base 210 via the support frame 240. The base 210 has a vertical slide rail 211, and the support plate 220 has a slider 223 that matches the slide rail 211. The base 210 is the supporting part of the front receiving assembly 200, meaning the front receiving assembly 200 is stably placed on the ground via the base 210. The support frame 240 can slide vertically up and down through the cooperation of the slide rail 211 and the slider 223, ensuring stable movement. The support frame 240 has two vertical racks 242. A drive motor 225 is fixed on the base 210. The drive motor 225 is connected to a transmission shaft 226. The transmission shaft 226 has two gears 2261 that are respectively connected to the two racks 242. By rotating the drive motor 225 forward or backward, the transmission shaft 226 is driven to rotate, and the gears 2261 and racks 242 cooperate to drive the support frame 240 to move up and down.
[0025] Furthermore, multiple second hinges 224 are provided between the support plate 220 and the support frame 240. The support plate 220 can be flipped to connect to the support frame 240 through the second hinges 224. The support frame 240 is provided with multiple second cylinders 241 that connect to the support plate 220. The support plate 220 is flipped by the drive of the second cylinders 241. When the push rod of the second cylinder 241 retracts, the support frame 240 flips downward to form an oblique structure. This structure is used when the front end of the pipe is being cut normally. The cut section of pipe can slide down through the oblique support plate 220. At this time, a tool can be placed below to catch the falling pipe, which is convenient for collecting the cut pipe. The first cylinder 222 and the second cylinder 241 are respectively connected to the third hinge 227 at both ends. The first cylinder 222 is connected to the support plate 220 and the folding part 130 through the third hinge 227. The second cylinder 241 is connected to the support frame 240 and the support plate 220 through the third hinge 227. The connection of the third hinge 227 can ensure that the first cylinder 222 and the second cylinder 241 can drive the folding part 130 and the support plate 220 to rotate smoothly, ensuring the normal operation of the equipment.
[0026] Furthermore, the support plate 220 is provided with three rollers 231 protruding from its surface, and the folding part 230 is provided with one roller 231. The number of rollers 231 is not limited to this embodiment. The rollers 231 can support the pipe in the front receiving assembly 200 through the support plate 220 and the folding part 230, ensuring that the pipe can be supported by the rollers 231 and can slide smoothly back and forth when it is clamped and moved back and forth by the front clamping assembly 110 and the rear clamping assembly 120, thus ensuring the smooth movement of the pipe. Multiple corner braces 101 are fixedly connected between the front receiving assembly 200 and the pipe cutting machine body 100. The corner braces 101 can stably connect the pipe cutting machine body 100 and the front receiving assembly 200, maintaining a fixed distance and angle between them, ensuring the stability of the material support of the front receiving assembly 200, thereby improving the processing accuracy.
