Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of spoke manufacturing technology, and more specifically to a material cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] The applicant proposed a scheme for forming a tapered structure at the end of a carbon fiber spoke in a previous application. Generally speaking, a tapered section is designed at the end of the spoke, with the outer diameter of this section gradually increasing towards the end of the spoke. A metal component at the spoke end can form a length-direction limiting fit with this tapered section, thereby fixing the metal component to the spoke body. This solves the problem of difficulty in firmly connecting the metal component at the end of the carbon fiber spoke to the carbon fiber spoke body. Furthermore, after assembly onto the rim, the length-direction limiting fit between the tapered section and the metal component effectively ensures that the spoke has good performance in bearing the tensile forces of the rim and hub along its length. (Refer to...) Figure 1 In the process of forming the tapered section, the applicant designed a flexible tapered piece. This tapered piece unfolds into a right-angled triangle on a plane, having two right-angled sides and a hypotenuse. One right-angled side can be attached to the spoke end, with its extension direction aligned with the extension direction of the spoke body. The tapered piece attached to the spoke end is then wound around the spoke end. Due to the triangular shape of the tapered piece, a tapered section with an outer diameter that gradually increases towards the end of the spoke is automatically formed. Before forming the tapered section, the metal parts on the spoke can be fitted onto the spoke body. After the tapered section is formed, the metal parts are then fitted onto the tapered section to create a limiting fit.
[0003] The cone-shaped sheets are usually made by cutting whole sheets. Currently, cone-shaped sheets are generally cut manually, which results in low production efficiency and high labor costs. Summary of the Invention

[0016] As can be seen from the above description of the present invention, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] Technical solution one provides a material cutting device for cutting materials into conical pieces for winding spoke ends. The conical piece is an object with a bevel cut from a rectangular material. The material cutting device includes a frame, a rotary conveying assembly, and a bevel cutting assembly. The rotary conveying assembly is mounted on the frame and has an intermittently rotating mechanism. Several placement parts are arranged circumferentially on the rotating mechanism. Each time the rotating mechanism stops rotating, the positions of these placement parts correspond one-to-one with preset loading, bevel cutting, and unloading stations. That is, before each rotation, each loading, bevel cutting, and unloading station has a corresponding placement part. After each rotation, the positions of these placement parts move to the next station. For example, when the loading station and the bevel cutting station are adjacent, the previous... When the rotation stops, the placement unit corresponding to the loading station will correspond to the bevel cutting station at the same time. With this configuration, these placement units can cycle between the loading station, bevel cutting station, and unloading station via the intermittent rotation of the rotating mechanism. At the loading station, the material to be cut can be laid flat on the placement unit. At the bevel cutting station, it can be cut by the bevel cutting component. At the unloading station, the resulting conical sheet can be removed. The bevel cutting component is positioned corresponding to the bevel cutting station and cuts the material using a reciprocating bevel cutting head in a first direction, thereby obtaining a beveled conical sheet. This material cutting equipment effectively improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs.
[0018] In particular, in this material cutting equipment, the rotary conveyor component uses intermittent rotation to transport materials. This material conveying method can realize automatic material transport and positioning without manual intervention, thus improving production efficiency. Furthermore, through intermittent rotation, multiple placement units can be in different workstations at the same time, achieving parallel processing and further improving efficiency. At the same time, each workstation is arranged around the rotary mechanism, which occupies a small area, and the overall material cutting equipment can be set up more compactly.
[0019] More importantly, this rotary conveyor assembly can better cooperate with the bevel cutting assembly. Specifically, since the bevel cutting head in the bevel cutting assembly only moves in a first direction, and this first direction is obviously inclined, for the material to be accurately cut into a beveled conical piece, the position of the material placed on the placement part must accurately correspond to the position of the bevel cutting assembly. This technical solution uses a rotary conveyor assembly, whose rotary mechanism has higher positioning accuracy than conventional linear conveying methods. This ensures that the material is always positioned corresponding to the bevel cutting head in the bevel cutting assembly, allowing the bevel cutting assembly to accurately cut the material and ensuring the shape, size, and positional accuracy during bevel cutting.
[0020] In technical solution two, a feeding and cutting component is installed. This component is located at the feeding station and has a feeding cutter head. The cutting cutter head can cut the raw material along a second direction, thus obtaining cut material placed on the placement section. The feeding and cutting component enables automatic cutting and feeding of the raw material, further improving the level of automation. It also ensures accurate cutting of the raw material, resulting in cut material suitable for subsequent bevel cutting.
[0021] In technical solution three, a feeding assembly is set up. The feeding assembly corresponds to the loading station and includes a feeding moving mechanism and a pressing mechanism. The feeding moving mechanism has a receiving part for carrying the raw material. The pressing mechanism can move with the receiving part and has a pressing part facing the receiving part. The pressing part can cooperate with the receiving part to press the raw material. Then the feeding moving mechanism moves towards the placement part and places the raw material on the placement part. The loading and cutting assembly then cuts the raw material. This feeding assembly enables automatic feeding and positioning of raw materials, fully automating the entire feeding process. It ensures the dimensional accuracy of the material being cut and the accuracy of its placement on the placement section. Specifically, the relative position of the feeding assembly and the placement section of the feeding station is fixed, guaranteeing the accuracy of the material's position along the first direction on the placement section. Simultaneously, the feeding moving mechanism within the feeding assembly moves a predetermined distance towards the placement section each time, moving the material forward a fixed distance along the third direction. This allows the end of the raw material with a defined length to be placed on the placement section, where it is then cut by the feeding and cutting assembly. This ensures the accuracy of both the size and position of the material on the placement section, thereby improving the cutting accuracy of the material at the bevel cutting station.
[0022] In technical solution four, the feeding assembly also includes a rolling mechanism that adheres the raw material to the release film to form a composite film roll. The shape of the composite film roll facilitates the storage of the raw material and avoids contamination. At the same time, the composite film roll can be easily fitted onto the feeding roller of the rolling mechanism. When the composite film roll passes through the feeding moving mechanism and the pressing mechanism, the raw material and the release film are separated. The recovery roller rotates synchronously to recover the release film, realizing the automatic separation of the material and the release film and the automatic recovery of the release film. It can also cooperate with the feeding moving mechanism and the pressing mechanism in the feeding assembly, so that each mechanism works together during each feeding to achieve efficient and accurate feeding of the raw material.
[0023] In technical solution five, a clamping assembly is provided, comprising a bevel clamping mechanism and a feeding clamping mechanism. Both clamping mechanisms can firmly clamp the material to be cut onto the placement part during the cutting process, preventing material movement or deformation caused by the blade contacting and moving during cutting, thus ensuring cutting accuracy and the accuracy of the bevel shape. Simultaneously, a bevel cutting groove is provided on the bevel clamping head of the bevel clamping mechanism. The bevel cutting groove provides a guide for the bevel blade, enabling it to cut along a predetermined trajectory, further improving the accuracy and quality of bevel cutting.
[0024] In technical solution six, the bevel cutting assembly and the feeding cutting assembly adopt the same modular components. Both include a cutting moving mechanism and a cutting mechanism. The cooperation between the cutting moving mechanism and the cutting mechanism can realize precise movement control of the cutter head in the vertical and horizontal directions. Each time cutting is performed, the cutter head can be moved down to the material to be cut, then moved horizontally to cut the material, and then raised up to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the rotating conveyor assembly.
[0025] In technical solution seven, a waste removal component and a vacuum negative pressure device are installed. The waste removal component is located at the waste removal station, between the bevel cutting station and the unloading station. At the waste removal station, the component removes waste material (excluding the conical pieces) from the placement area after the material has been cut, facilitating efficient removal of the conical pieces at the unloading station. The waste removal component includes a waste removal adsorption head that creates negative pressure and moves to the placement area to adsorb and fix the waste. The adsorption head then moves horizontally in the fourth direction, stopping the negative pressure adsorption when it reaches a preset waste disposal position, thus disposing of the waste at a specific location. This waste removal component and vacuum negative pressure device automatically remove waste generated during the cutting process from the placement area, preventing waste accumulation, maintaining a clean working area, and improving the equipment's operating efficiency and stability.
[0026] In technical solution eight, the rotating mechanism includes a rotating disk and several placement blocks evenly arranged at first angular intervals along the circumference of the rotating disk. Each placement block has a first negative pressure channel to negatively pressure-adhere and fix the material to be cut onto the placement section through a first negative pressure port located in the placement section. The rotating disk rotates a second angle around a first axis each time, and the second angle is equal to the first angle. In this rotating mechanism, vacuum adsorption is used to fix the material, which can evenly adsorb the material onto the placement section, avoiding material deformation or displacement that may be caused by mechanical clamping, thus improving positioning accuracy and cutting stability. The placement blocks can be replaced independently, facilitating maintenance and replacement with placement blocks of different shapes or sizes to adapt to different materials and cutting requirements. Each time the rotating disk rotates a second angle, the placement blocks are spaced at the first angle, and the first and second angles are equal, ensuring that after each rotation of the rotating disk, the placement blocks can accurately stop at their respective workstations.
[0027] In technical solution nine, an ejection mechanism is installed on the frame and corresponds to the waste discharge station. The ejection rod in the mechanism can reciprocate vertically. Simultaneously, an ejection channel is provided on the placement block corresponding to the waste material location. The ejection rod can extend into the ejection channel to eject the waste material from the placement block, thus cooperating with the waste discharge adsorption head to remove the waste. Because the cut material is adsorbed and fixed on the placement section by negative pressure adsorption, and because the waste material after cutting is relatively small in the oblique cutting station, the waste discharge adsorption head may fail to pick up the waste material due to the electrostatic adsorption of the placement section and the small size of the waste. Therefore, this ejection mechanism is specifically designed to lift the waste material from the placement section, assisting the waste discharge adsorption head in better adsorbing and removing the waste. Especially for highly adhesive waste, the ejection mechanism effectively prevents waste residue. The combined function of the ejection mechanism and the waste removal adsorption head improves the efficiency and reliability of waste removal and ensures the cleanliness of the placement surface.
[0028] In technical solution ten, a negative pressure connecting component is installed to achieve independent control and distribution of vacuum negative pressure for multiple placement blocks. The first negative pressure port of each placement block is connected to the vacuum negative pressure device through independent second and third negative pressure channels, ensuring that the vacuum adsorption effect of each station is not affected by other stations, thus improving the reliability and stability of vacuum adsorption. The cooperation between the negative pressure drive mechanism and the negative pressure connecting component allows for precise control of the application and disconnection of negative pressure, thereby coordinating with the movement of the rotating disk. When the rotating disk rotates, the negative pressure connecting component moves upward, separating the second and third negative pressure ports. After the rotating disk stops rotating, the negative pressure connecting component moves downward, connecting the third negative pressure port with the next second negative pressure port on the rotating disk. This negative pressure connecting component solves the problem of difficult negative pressure pipeline layout caused by the rotation of the rotating disk in equipment, greatly simplifying the layout challenge of negative pressure pipelines.

[0055] Example
[0056] Reference Figure 2 The present invention relates to a material cutting device, which mainly includes a frame 20, a rotating conveying assembly 30, a bevel cutting assembly 40, a feeding and cutting assembly 50, a feeding assembly 60, a pressing assembly 70, a waste discharge assembly 80, a vacuum negative pressure device, and a negative pressure connecting assembly 90.
[0057] First refer to Figure 1 The diagram illustrates the structure of a spoke with tapered plates 12 attached. The spoke as a whole comprises a spoke body 10, connecting caps 11, and tapered plates 12. Two connecting caps 11 are fitted onto the spoke body 10 from both ends, and two tapered plates 12 are attached to the two ends of the spoke body 10. The tapered plates 12 are attached to the spoke body 10 using adhesive. One surface of the tapered plate 12 can be designed to be adhesive, so that during winding, this side surface is the inner side, preventing the tapered plate 12 from unraveling after adhesion. The triangular shape of the conical piece 12 allows it to automatically form a conical segment at the end of the spoke after adhesion. The size and shape of this conical segment are adapted to the size and shape of the through hole inside the connecting cap 11. The connecting cap 11 can be pulled outward to the position of the conical segment, and the conical segment forms a limiting fit between the connecting cap 11 and the spoke body 10 in the length direction, which can effectively improve the tensile force that the connecting cap 11 can withstand when pulled. In this embodiment, the spoke body 10 and the conical piece 12 are made of carbon fiber material, and the connecting cap 11 is made of metal. After the conical piece 12 is wrapped around the spoke body 10, a curing process can be used to solidify the conical piece 12 and the spoke body 10 into one, preventing the conical piece 12 from falling off the spoke body 10. After the two are solidified into one, the connecting cap 11 can be pulled to the position of the conical segment.
[0058] Continue to refer to Figure 1The material cutting equipment involved in this embodiment of the invention is used to cut materials into tapered pieces 12 for winding spoke ends. The material, as described in this specification and claims, includes two types: one refers to material that has already been cut into a rectangular shape, and the other refers to raw material that has not yet been cut to obtain the material itself. These two types differ in different processes. When the material is cut using this equipment, the final product is a tapered piece 12 with a beveled edge. The shape of the tapered piece 12 can be as follows... Figure 1 The triangular shape shown can also be a right trapezoid with a hypotenuse. In this embodiment, the material is carbon fiber.
[0059] Reference Figure 2 In this material cutting equipment, a rotating conveying assembly 30 is mounted on the frame 20 and is provided with a rotating mechanism 31 that rotates intermittently relative to the frame 20 about a first axis in the vertical direction; the rotating mechanism 31 is provided with a plurality of placement parts 331 arranged circumferentially, and each time the rotation stops, one of the placement parts 331 rotates to a preset loading station 251, a bevel cutting station 252, and a unloading station 254; the placement part 331 is used to lay the material to be cut flat; the loading... The material feeding station 251, the bevel cutting station 252, and the unloading station 254 are arranged sequentially along the rotation direction of the rotating mechanism 31; the bevel cutting assembly 40 is mounted on the frame 20 and located at the bevel cutting station 252, and is provided with a bevel cutting head 41 adapted to reciprocate along a first horizontal direction; the bevel cutting head 41 is adapted to cut the material located on the placement part 331 of the bevel cutting station 252 along the first direction to obtain a tapered piece 12 with a bevel.
[0060] It is necessary to define the directional terms used in this specification and claims. (See reference...) Figures 1 to 10 In this specification, the terms front, back, left, right, up, and down are used to describe directions. The front and back directions correspond to the third direction in this specification and the claims, and the left and right directions correspond to the second and fourth directions in this specification and the claims.
[0061] First, refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, the rotating conveying assembly 30, the bevel cutting assembly 40, the feeding and cutting assembly 50, the feeding assembly 60, the pressing assembly 70, the waste discharge assembly 80, the vacuum negative pressure device, and the negative pressure connecting assembly 90 are all mounted on a frame 20. The frame 20 includes a main support as the supporting body and a platform 21 disposed above the main support. The platform 21 and the main support are connected by a slide rail 22 and a slider 23. Specifically, the main support is a table-shaped component, which can be manufactured using aluminum profiles or other materials. The platform 21 is a flat plate-shaped component, and there are two platforms 21, mounted on the main support in the left-right direction respectively. The slide rail 22 and slider 23 cooperate to form a sliding structure. The slide rail 22 is fixedly mounted on the top of the main support and extends in the left-right direction. The slider 23 is mounted on the slide rail 22 and can slide back and forth along the extension direction of the slide rail 22. The platform 21 is fixed to the slider 23 by bolts, so the platform 21 can slide relative to the main support in the left-right direction. Through the cooperation of the slide rail 22 and slider 23, both platforms 21 can slide in the left-right direction, thereby adjusting the distance and position of the two platforms 21 in the left-right direction. A drive motor or drive cylinder can be installed on the frame 20 corresponding to each platform 21 to control the movement of the platform 21 automatically and to precisely adjust the position of the platform 21. Furthermore, refer to... Figure 2 and Figure 4 The frame 20 also includes a flat plate-shaped drive mounting plate 24, which is fixedly mounted above the platform 21 by a number of support rods extending vertically. A clearance space is formed between its lower surface and the upper surface of the platform 21. Some parts of the pressing assembly 70 and the negative pressure communication assembly 90 are mounted on the drive mounting plate 24.
[0062] Reference Figure 3 Four workstations are defined on the platform 21 of the frame 20, in a clockwise direction: loading workstation 251, bevel cutting workstation 252, waste removal workstation 253, and unloading workstation 254. The central angle between each of these four workstations is 90°, and they are all arranged around the first axis of the rotating mechanism 31 of the rotating conveyor assembly 30. The rotating mechanism 31 rotates intermittently, with each rotation being 90°, so that each time it stops rotating, a placement part 331 corresponds to one workstation. The loading workstation 251 is used to place the cut material into the placement part 331; the bevel cutting workstation 252 is used to cut the material into tapered portions and waste; the waste removal workstation 253 is used to remove the waste; and the unloading workstation 254 is used to remove the tapered pieces 12 or to complete other processes in conjunction with other devices.
[0063] Among them, reference Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 8The rotating mechanism 31 includes a rotating disk 32 and a plurality of placement blocks 33; each placement block 33 is evenly arranged at a predetermined first angle interval along the circumference of the rotating disk 32, and its top surface forms the placement portion 331; each placement block 33 is provided with a first negative pressure channel communicating with the vacuum negative pressure device, and each placement block 33 is provided with a plurality of first negative pressure ports 332 communicating with the first negative pressure channel at a position corresponding to the placement portion 331, the first negative pressure ports 332 forming negative pressure through the vacuum negative pressure device to adsorb and fix the cut material; the rotating disk 32 is adapted to rotate around a first axis by a predetermined second angle each time, the second angle being equal to the first angle.
[0064] When the rotating mechanism 31 stops rotating, a placement part 331 rotates to a preset waste discharge station 253, which is located between the bevel cutting station 252 and the unloading station 254. The waste discharge assembly 80 is mounted on the frame 20 and located at the waste discharge station 253, and is provided with a waste discharge adsorption head 81 adapted to reciprocate along a horizontal fourth direction. The waste discharge adsorption head 81 is adapted to form a negative pressure through the vacuum negative pressure device to remove the waste material separated from the conical plate 12 from the placement part 331 of the cutting material located at the waste discharge station 253. The waste discharge assembly 80 also includes an ejection mechanism 84, which is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the waste discharge station 253. It is provided with an ejection rod 841 adapted to reciprocate in the up-down direction. The placement block 33 is provided with an ejection channel 334 that runs through in the up-down direction at the position corresponding to the waste material separated from the conical plate 12 in the cut material. The ejection rod 841 is adapted to extend into the ejection channel 334 and eject the waste material from the placement block 33 so as to cooperate with the waste discharge adsorption head 81 to remove the waste material.
[0065] Specifically, the vacuum negative pressure device can be installed inside the frame 20 of the material cutting equipment. After being powered on, the vacuum negative pressure device generates negative pressure and delivers the pressure to the required position through the negative pressure pipeline, thereby achieving negative pressure adsorption of the workpiece. The vacuum negative pressure device is a conventional device for achieving negative pressure adsorption in this field, and will not be described in detail here.
[0066] Structural reference for placing block 33 Figure 8The placement block 33 is roughly a rectangular block. A placement portion 331 is formed on the upper surface of the placement portion 331. The material to be cut can be placed on the placement portion 331, with the adhesive side facing upwards and the non-adhesive side facing downwards. The placement block 33 has several first negative pressure ports 332 at the location of the placement portion 331. These first negative pressure ports 332 are arranged in a regular pattern, and each first negative pressure port 332 is designed to be relatively small. Adjacent first negative pressure ports 332 are designed to have a small distance between them. This arrangement allows the negative pressure generated by the first negative pressure ports 332 to act more evenly on the material when it is placed on the placement portion 331, preventing the material from deforming or bending due to negative pressure adsorption. The placement block 33 has a first negative pressure channel inside, which can be connected to a vacuum negative pressure device via a negative pressure pipeline. This creates negative pressure, attracting and fixing the cut material at the first negative pressure port 332. It is important to note that the position of the first negative pressure port 332 should roughly correspond to the range of the conical pieces 12 in the cut material; a first negative pressure port 332 is not needed at the waste material location. The placement block 33 has a vertically penetrating ejection channel 334 corresponding to the waste material location. The ejection rod 841 of the ejection mechanism 84 can move upwards to push the waste material above the ejection channel 334 away from the placement block 33. Furthermore, referring to… Figure 8 A beveled clearance groove 333 is recessed on the top of the placement block 33. The position of the beveled clearance groove 333 corresponds to the cutting position of the material to be cut, which can make way for the beveled cutter head 41, allowing the beveled cutter head 41 to pass through the material to be cut in the vertical direction, ensuring that the material is cut to form a conical piece 12.
[0067] The rotating disk 32 is a cross-shaped plate-like component with four ends spaced 90° apart. Four placement blocks 33 are respectively fixedly installed at one end of the rotating disk 32. The rotating conveying assembly 30 also includes a rotating drive mechanism 34, which includes a rotating motor 341 and a rotating connecting block 342. The rotating motor 341 is mounted below the platform 21 of the frame 20. The rotating connecting block 342 is located at the output end of the rotating motor 341 and can rotate around a first axis as the output end of the rotating motor 341 rotates. Simultaneously, the rotating connecting block 342 extends upwards from the platform 21 and is fixedly connected to the rotating mechanism 31 by bolts. In this embodiment, the rotating conveying assembly 30 has four placement blocks 33, which are circumferentially fixedly installed on the outer edge of the rotating mechanism 31, and the interval angle between the placement blocks 33, i.e., the first angle, is 90 degrees. Driven by the rotation drive mechanism 34, the rotation mechanism 31 rotates by a second angle of 90 degrees each time. Initially, the four placement blocks 33 correspond to four workstations. After the rotation drive mechanism 34 rotates once, the placement block 33 that originally corresponded to the previous workstation will rotate to the next adjacent workstation. In this rotation mechanism 31, vacuum adsorption is used to fix the material, which can evenly adsorb the material onto the placement part 331, avoiding material deformation or displacement that may be caused by mechanical clamping, and improving positioning accuracy and cutting stability. The placement blocks 33 can be replaced independently, which is convenient for maintenance and replacement of placement blocks 33 of different shapes or sizes to adapt to different materials and cutting requirements. Each time the rotating disk 32 rotates by the second angle, the placement blocks 33 are spaced at the first angle, and the first angle and the second angle are equal, ensuring that after each rotation of the rotating disk 32, the placement blocks 33 can accurately stop at their respective workstations.
[0068] Further, the negative pressure communication assembly 90 includes a negative pressure driving mechanism 91 and a negative pressure communication component 92; the rotating disk 32 is provided with a plurality of second negative pressure channels corresponding to the first negative pressure channels of each of the placement blocks 33, and each second negative pressure channel has a second negative pressure port 321 at one end away from its corresponding placement block 33; the negative pressure driving mechanism 91 is mounted on the frame 20, and the negative pressure communication component 92 is fixed to the output end of the negative pressure driving mechanism 91 and is adapted to be driven by the negative pressure driving mechanism 91 to reciprocate along the first direction; the negative pressure communication component 92 is provided with a connection to the vacuum negative pressure channel 32. The vacuum negative pressure device provides pressure to each of the third negative pressure channels independently. Each of the third negative pressure channels forms a second negative pressure port 321 at the end away from the vacuum negative pressure device. The first negative pressure port 332 and the second negative pressure port 321 are arranged in the same number at a predetermined third angle relative to the first axis. The third angle is equal to the first angle. The negative pressure driving mechanism 91 is adapted to drive the negative pressure connecting member 92 to move toward the rotating disk 32 so that the second negative pressure port 321 is connected to the first negative pressure port 332 at a corresponding position.
[0069] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8The negative pressure drive mechanism 91 is fixedly mounted on the drive mounting plate 24. The main body of the negative pressure drive mechanism 91 is a cylinder, and its output end forms a negative pressure drive output end 911. The negative pressure drive output end 911 is fixedly connected to the negative pressure connecting member 92. The negative pressure connecting member is provided with four third negative pressure ports 921. These four third negative pressure ports 921 are arranged around the first axis of the rotating mechanism 31 at 90-degree intervals, and each of the four third negative pressure ports 921 is independently connected to the vacuum negative pressure device through a negative pressure pipeline. At the same time, four second negative pressure ports 321 are provided at corresponding positions on the rotating disk 32. These four second negative pressure ports 321 are connected to the second negative pressure channel inside the rotating disk 32, and each second negative pressure channel is connected to the first negative pressure channel of a placement block 33 through a negative pressure pipeline. In addition, two negative pressure drive sliding rods 912 extending vertically are provided on both sides of the main body of the negative pressure drive mechanism 91, which can ensure that the negative pressure drive output end 911 drives the negative pressure connecting member 92 to move in the vertical direction. When the rotating mechanism 31 is stopped, the negative pressure connector 92 can move downward under the drive of the negative pressure driving mechanism 91, connecting each third negative pressure port 921 with a corresponding second negative pressure port 321. Before the rotating disk 32 rotates, the negative pressure connector 92 moves upward under the drive of the negative pressure driving mechanism 91, and the third negative pressure port 921 leaves the corresponding second negative pressure port 321. When the rotating disk 32 rotates 90 degrees to the next position, the negative pressure connector 92 can move downward under the drive of the negative pressure driving mechanism 91, reconnecting the third negative pressure port 921 with the corresponding second negative pressure port 321. To ensure a sealing effect, a sealing ring is provided on the negative pressure connector 92 for each third negative pressure port 921. When the negative pressure connector 92 moves downward to the point where the third negative pressure port 921 connects with the second negative pressure port 321, the sealing ring is squeezed by the upper surface of the rotating disk 32, thereby sealing the gap between the third negative pressure port 921 and the second negative pressure port 321. The negative pressure connection component 90 enables independent control and distribution of vacuum negative pressure for multiple placement blocks 33. The first negative pressure port 332 of each placement block 33 is connected to the vacuum negative pressure device via independent second and third negative pressure channels, ensuring that the vacuum adsorption effect of each station is not affected by other stations, thus improving the reliability and stability of vacuum adsorption. The cooperation between the negative pressure drive mechanism 91 and the negative pressure connection component 92 allows for precise control of the application and disconnection of negative pressure, thereby coordinating with the movement of the rotating disk 32. When the rotating disk 32 rotates, the negative pressure connection component 92 moves upward, separating the second and third negative pressure ports 321. After the rotating disk 32 stops rotating, the negative pressure connection component 92 moves downward, connecting the third negative pressure port 921 with the next second negative pressure port 321 on the rotating disk 32. This negative pressure connection component 90 solves the problem of difficult negative pressure pipeline layout caused by the rotation of the rotating disk 32 in equipment using the rotating disk 32, greatly simplifying the layout of negative pressure pipelines.
[0070] The waste discharge assembly 80 includes a waste discharge drive mechanism 83, which in this embodiment is a cylinder device. It is fixedly mounted on the support rod of the drive mounting plate 24 to form a fixed connection with the frame 20. The output end of the waste discharge drive mechanism 83 forms a waste discharge drive output end 82, on which a waste discharge adsorption head 81 is fixedly mounted. This adsorption head 81 is connected to a vacuum negative pressure device and can adsorb waste material on the placement section 331 through negative pressure adsorption. The waste discharge drive output end 82 is configured to reciprocate in the left-right direction, thereby driving the waste discharge adsorption head 81 to reciprocate in the left-right direction. Furthermore, the position of the waste discharge adsorption head 81 in the vertical direction is slightly higher than the position of the placement section 331 to avoid interference between the waste discharge adsorption head 81 and the placement block 33. In the ejection mechanism 84 of the waste discharge assembly 80, an ejection drive cylinder 842 is fixedly mounted on the platform 21. An ejection rod 841 is fixedly mounted at the output end of the ejection drive cylinder 842. The ejection drive cylinder 842 can drive the ejection rod 841 to move up or down. When the placement block 33 moves directly above the ejection mechanism 84, the ejection rod 841 can move upward and extend into the ejection channel 334 of the placement block 33, pushing the waste away from the placement block 33. At the same time, the waste discharge adsorption head 81 moves above the waste and uses negative pressure to adsorb the waste onto the waste discharge adsorption head 81. Then, the ejection rod 841 moves downward and leaves the ejection channel 334. At the same time, the waste discharge adsorption head 81 moves away from the placement block 33 and reaches the waste disposal position. At the waste disposal position, the negative pressure of the waste discharge adsorption head 81 is disconnected, and the waste falls from the waste discharge adsorption head 81 to the waste disposal position. Platform 21 can have an opening at the waste location and a waste collection bin below the opening to collect waste.
[0071] A waste removal component 80 and a vacuum negative pressure device are installed. The waste removal component 80 is located at the waste removal station 253, which is situated between the bevel cutting station 252 and the unloading station 254. At the waste removal station 253, the waste removal component 80 removes the waste material (excluding the conical piece 12) after it has been cut from the placement section 331, facilitating efficient removal of the conical piece 12 at the unloading station 254. The waste removal component 80 includes a waste removal adsorption head 81. The adsorption head 81 generates negative pressure and moves to the placement section 331 to adsorb and fix the waste material. The adsorption head 81 then moves horizontally in the fourth direction. When it reaches a preset waste disposal position, the adsorption head 81 stops adsorbing the waste material, thus disposing of it at a specific location. Through this waste removal component 80 and vacuum negative pressure device, waste generated during the cutting process can be automatically removed from the placement section 331, preventing waste accumulation, maintaining the cleanliness of the working area, and improving the operating efficiency and stability of the equipment. Furthermore, since the cut material is adsorbed and fixed on the placement section 331 by negative pressure adsorption, and the waste material after cutting in the bevel cutting station 252 is relatively small, when the waste removal adsorption head 81 tries to pick up the waste material, the electrostatic adsorption of the placement section 331 and the small size of the waste material can easily cause the waste removal adsorption head 81 to fail to pick up the waste material. Therefore, the ejection mechanism 84 is specially provided. The ejection mechanism 84 can lift the waste material from the placement section 331, assisting the waste removal adsorption head 81 in better adsorbing and removing the waste material. Especially for waste material with strong adhesion, the ejection mechanism 84 can effectively prevent waste material residue. The dual function of the ejection mechanism 84 and the waste removal adsorption head 81 improves the efficiency and reliability of waste removal and ensures the cleanliness of the surface of the placement section 331.
[0072] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 In this material cutting equipment, the feeding and cutting assembly 50 is mounted on the frame 20 and located at the feeding station 251. It is equipped with a feeding cutter head 51 adapted to reciprocate along a horizontal second direction. The feeding cutter head 51 is adapted to cut the raw material along the second direction to obtain cut material placed on the placement portion 331 located at the feeding station 251. Both the bevel cutting assembly 40 and the feeding and cutting assembly 50 include a cutting moving mechanism 42 and a cutting mechanism 43. The output end of the cutting moving mechanism 42 is adapted to reciprocate along a vertical direction. The cutting mechanism 43 is mounted on the output end of the cutting moving mechanism 42, and its output end is adapted to reciprocate along either the first or second direction. The bevel cutter head 41 and the feeding cutter head 51 are mounted on the corresponding output ends of the cutting mechanism 43.
[0073] The bevel cutting assembly 40 is located at the bevel cutting station 252 of the frame 20. It is equipped with a bevel cutting head 41, which can reciprocate in a first direction to cut the material into a tapered piece 12 with a bevel. The first direction is inclined to the front-back direction so that the bevel cutting head 41 can cut the material at an angle. The feeding cutting assembly 50 is located at the feeding station 251 of the frame 20. It is equipped with a feeding cutting head 51, which can reciprocate in the left-right direction to cut the raw material into the cut material. Before being cut by the feeding cutting head 51, part of the raw material has been placed on the placement part 331. After the feeding cutting head 51 cuts, the part that was originally placed on the placement part 331 becomes the cut material, and the remaining part of the raw material can be reused in the next feeding cutting. A feeding and cutting assembly 50 is provided, located at the feeding station 251 and equipped with a feeding cutter head 51. The feeding cutter head 51 can cut the raw material along a second direction, thereby obtaining the cut material placed on the placement part 331. Through the feeding and cutting assembly 50, the automatic cutting and feeding of the raw material can be realized, further improving the degree of automation, while also ensuring the accurate cutting of the raw material, and obtaining cut material suitable for subsequent bevel cutting.
[0074] Specifically, the bevel cutting assembly 40 and the feeding cutting assembly 50 have the same structure. The cutting moving mechanism 42 includes a cutting bracket 44, which is fixedly mounted on the platform 21. A cutting drive cylinder 421 of the cutting moving mechanism 42 is mounted on the cutting bracket 44, and the output end of the cutting drive cylinder 421 can reciprocate in the vertical direction. The cutting mechanism 43 is mounted on the output end of the cutting drive cylinder 421. The cutting mechanism 43 includes a blade drive cylinder 431, the output end of which can reciprocate in the horizontal direction. Simultaneously, a blade is mounted on the output end of the blade drive cylinder 431. This blade is designated as a bevel blade 41 or a feeding blade 51, depending on whether it is applied to the bevel cutting assembly 40 or the feeding cutting assembly 50. During cutting, the cutting moving mechanism 42 first raises the cutting mechanism 43, moving the blade away from the rotating mechanism 31. Simultaneously, the cutting mechanism 43 moves the blade to the initial cutting position. Once the rotating mechanism 31 rotates and the placement part 331 reaches below the blade, the cutting moving mechanism 42 moves the cutting mechanism 43 downwards, causing the blade to contact the material to be cut on the placement part 331. Then, the cutting mechanism 43 moves the blade horizontally, and the blade in the bevel cutting assembly 40 enters the bevel clearance groove 333, thereby cutting the original material or the material to be cut. Both the cutting moving mechanism 42 and the cutting mechanism 43 can be powered by a vacuum negative pressure device. The bevel cutting assembly 40 and the feeding cutting assembly 50 use the same modular components. Both include a cutting moving mechanism 42 and a cutting mechanism 43. The cooperation between the cutting moving mechanism 42 and the cutting mechanism 43 can achieve precise movement control of the cutter head in the vertical and horizontal directions. Each time cutting is performed, the cutter head can be moved down to the material to be cut, then moved horizontally to cut the material, and then raised up to avoid interfering with the normal operation of the rotating conveyor assembly 30.
[0075] In addition, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The clamping assembly 70 includes a bevel clamping mechanism 71 and a feeding clamping mechanism 72. The bevel clamping mechanism 71 is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the bevel cutting station 252. It is provided with a bevel clamping head 711 adapted to reciprocate in the vertical direction. The bevel clamping head 711 is adapted to clamp or release the cutting material on the corresponding placement part 331, and is provided with a bevel cutting groove 712 extending in the first direction and penetrating vertically. The position of the bevel cutting groove 712 is... The beveled edge is required to be formed on the material to be cut on the corresponding placement part 331. The beveled edge cutter head 41 is adapted to extend into the beveled edge cutting groove 712 and move along the beveled edge cutting groove 712. The feeding clamping mechanism 72 is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the feeding station 251. It is provided with a feeding clamping head 721 adapted to reciprocate in the up and down direction. The feeding clamping head 721 is adapted to clamp or release the material to be cut on the corresponding placement part 331.
[0076] Specifically, both the bevel clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721 are block-shaped components that can move up and down under the drive of the bevel clamping mechanism 71 and the feeding clamping mechanism 72, and clamp the cutting material located in the placement part 331 when moving down. The bevel clamping mechanism 71 and the feeding clamping mechanism 72 are both mounted on the drive mounting plate 24 of the frame 20, and both include a clamping drive cylinder 73, a clamping sliding rod 74, and a clamping adapter plate 75. The difference between the two is that the bevel clamping mechanism 71 corresponds to the placement part 331 of the bevel cutting station 252, and the feeding clamping mechanism 72 corresponds to the placement part 331 of the feeding station 251. The clamping drive cylinder 73 is fixedly mounted on the drive mounting plate 24. The output end of the clamping drive mechanism is located below the drive mounting plate 24 and can reciprocate in the vertical direction. A clamping adapter plate 75 is bolted to this output end. The inclined clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721 are both bolted to the corresponding clamping adapter plate 75. Furthermore, two clamping sliding rods 74 are also provided in the clamping drive mechanism. These two clamping sliding rods 74 are slidably connected to the drive mounting plate 24 in the vertical direction. That is, under the restriction of the drive mounting plate 24, these two clamping sliding rods 74 can only move in the vertical direction. These two clamping sliding rods 74 are fixed to the clamping adapter plate 75, thereby restricting the inclined clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721 to move only in the vertical direction, ensuring the accuracy of the movement path of the inclined clamping head 711 and the feeding clamping head 721. Additionally, refer to... Figure 6 and Figure 7A beveled cutting groove 712 corresponding to the beveled clearance groove 333 on the corresponding placement block 33 is also provided on the beveled clamping head 711. The beveled cutting groove 712 extends through the beveled clamping head 711 in the vertical direction and is open at the end facing the beveled cutting assembly 40. The beveled blade 41 in the beveled cutting assembly 40 extends into the beveled cutting groove 712 to ensure accurate cutting position of the material. A clamping assembly 70 is provided, which includes a beveled clamping mechanism 71 and a feeding clamping mechanism 72. Both clamping mechanisms can firmly clamp the material to be cut on the placement part 331 during the cutting process, preventing the material from moving or deforming due to the blade contacting and moving during cutting, thus ensuring the cutting accuracy and the accuracy of the bevel shape. Meanwhile, a bevel cutting groove 712 is provided on the bevel clamping head 711 of the bevel clamping mechanism 71. The bevel cutting groove 712 provides a guide for the bevel cutter head 41, so that the bevel cutter head 41 can cut along a predetermined trajectory, which further improves the accuracy and quality of bevel cutting.
[0077] Furthermore, referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 10 A feeding assembly 60 is mounted on the frame 20 and corresponds to the loading station 251. It includes a feeding moving mechanism 61 and a pressing mechanism 62. The feeding moving mechanism 61 has a receiving portion 611 adapted to carry the raw material, and the receiving portion 611 is adapted to reciprocate along a third direction perpendicular to and horizontal to the second direction. The pressing mechanism 62 is mounted on the feeding moving mechanism 61 to move along the third direction with the receiving portion 611. It has a pressing portion 621 facing the receiving portion 611. 21 is adapted to reciprocate in the up-down direction to press or release the raw material located on the receiving part 611; the feeding moving mechanism is configured to move a preset distance toward the placement part 331 located at the loading station 251 after the pressing part 621 presses the raw material located on the receiving part 611, so as to lay the end of the raw material flat in the placement part 331; the loading cutting assembly 50 is configured to cut the raw material after the end of the raw material is laid flat in the corresponding placement part 331.
[0078] In addition, the feeding assembly 60 also includes a rolling mechanism 63; the raw material adheres to the release film and forms a composite film roll; the rolling mechanism 63 includes a feeding rolling shaft 631 and a recovery rolling shaft 632, the feeding rolling shaft 631 is used to mount the composite film roll, and the recovery rolling shaft 632 is used to wind the release film; the composite film roll peels off the raw material and the release film when it passes the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62; the recovery rolling shaft 632 is configured to rotate synchronously to wind and recover the release film when the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62 clamp the raw material and move toward the corresponding placement part 331.
[0079] Specifically, refer to Figure 10 The feeding assembly 60 can conveniently and accurately transport raw materials to the placement section 331 of the loading station 251. When using the feeding assembly 60, the raw materials are bonded to the release film to form a composite film roll. The shape of the composite film roll facilitates the storage of the raw materials and prevents them from becoming contaminated. The rolling mechanism 63 of the feeding assembly 60 includes a rolling bracket 633, which is fixedly mounted on the platform 21 of the frame 20. The rolling bracket 633 is equipped with a loading rolling shaft 631, a rolling drive motor 634, a first guide shaft 635, and a second guide shaft 636. The axial directions of these shafts are all left-right, consistent with the cutting direction of the loading cutting assembly 50. The recovery rolling shaft 632 is located at the output end of the rolling drive motor 634. Through the rolling drive motor 634, the recovery rolling shaft 632 can rotate automatically, and its rotation axis is also along the left-right direction. The first guide shaft 635 and the second guide shaft 636 are positioned in front of the feeding roll shaft 631. The first guide shaft 635 and the second guide shaft 636 are symmetrically arranged in the vertical direction. The side wall of the first guide shaft 635 forms a groove-like structure, and the width of the composite film roll is consistent with the width of the inner wall of the groove-like structure. Meanwhile, the second guide shaft 636 is located above the first guide shaft 635 and can extend into the groove-like structure formed by the side wall of the first guide shaft 635, thereby pressing the composite film roll tightly against the side wall of the first guide shaft 635 and guiding the composite film roll forward.
[0080] A feeding moving mechanism 61 and a pressing mechanism 62 are provided in front of the rolling mechanism 63. The feeding moving mechanism 61 includes a feeding drive cylinder 612 fixedly mounted on the platform 21. The output end of the feeding drive cylinder 612 can reciprocate in the front-back direction and is fixedly provided with a material receiving block 613. The upper surface of the material receiving block 613 is provided with a material receiving portion 611, which is a recessed trough extending in the front-back direction. The front and rear ends of the trough are open, and the width of the trough in the left-right direction is the same as the width of the original material. A return shaft 614 is also provided at the front end of the material receiving block 613. The return shaft 614 is used to pull the release film that has been peeled off from the original material back to the recycling rolling shaft 632. The pressing mechanism 62 includes a pressing drive cylinder 622 fixedly mounted on the material support block 613. The output end of the pressing drive cylinder 622 can reciprocate in the up and down direction and is fixedly mounted with a pressing block 623. The pressing block 623 is provided with a pressing part 621 facing the material support part 611. The pressing part 621 can extend into the material support part 611 and its width in the left and right direction is adapted to the width of the material support part 611. During feeding, the composite film roll is mounted on the feeding roller 631 and passed through the first guide shaft 635 and the second guide shaft 636. The composite film roll is then guided to the positions of the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62. At this time, the raw material and release film in the composite film roll are peeled off. The release film is positioned on top and guided to the folding shaft 614 before being wound onto the recycling roller 632. The raw material is placed in the receiving part 611 and passes through the gap between the receiving part 611 and the pressing part 621, and the raw material extends out from the front end of the receiving part 611. Afterwards, the pressing part 621 presses down on the original material, and the feeding moving mechanism 61 drives the supporting block 613 to move forward a preset distance. This preset distance is the front-to-back dimension of the material to be cut at the loading station 251. At this time, the end of the original material will be placed on the placement part 331. Then the loading cutting component 50 runs and cuts off the end of the original material. The part on the placement part 331 can then form the cut material. Afterwards, the pressing part 621 is lifted up, and the feeding moving mechanism 61 retracts. At this time, because the recovery roller 632 pulls the composite film roll, the original material will not retract with the feeding moving mechanism 61.
[0081] The feeding assembly 60 enables automatic feeding and positioning of raw materials, making the entire feeding process fully automated. The feeding assembly 60 ensures the dimensional accuracy of the material being cut and the accuracy of its placement on the placement section 331. Specifically, the relative position of the feeding assembly 60 and the placement section 331 of the feeding station 251 is fixed, ensuring the accuracy of the material's position along the third direction on the placement section 331. Simultaneously, the feeding moving mechanism 61 in the feeding assembly 60 moves a predetermined distance towards the placement section 331 each time, moving the material forward a fixed distance along the third direction, thus placing the end of the raw material with a defined length on the placement section 331. The material is then cut by the feeding cutting assembly 50. This ensures the accuracy of the material's dimensions and position on the placement section 331, thereby improving the accuracy of the cutting position of the material by the bevel cutting assembly 40 at the bevel cutting station 252. Furthermore, the raw material is adhered to the release film to form a composite film roll. The shape of the composite film roll facilitates the storage of the raw material and avoids contamination. At the same time, the composite film roll can be easily mounted on the feeding roller 631 of the rolling mechanism 63. When the composite film roll passes through the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62, the raw material and the release film are separated. The recovery roller 632 rotates synchronously to recover the release film, realizing the automatic separation of the material and the release film and the automatic recovery of the release film. It can also cooperate with the feeding moving mechanism 61 and the pressing mechanism 62 in the feeding assembly 60. Each mechanism works together during each feeding to achieve efficient and accurate feeding of the raw material.
[0082] The material cutting equipment involved in the embodiments of the present invention is used to cut materials into conical pieces 12 for winding spoke ends. The conical pieces 12 are objects with beveled edges cut from a rectangular material. The material cutting equipment includes a frame 20, a rotary conveyor assembly 30, and a bevel cutting assembly 40. The rotary conveyor assembly 30 is mounted on the frame 20 and has an intermittently rotating mechanism 31. Several placement sections 331 are arranged circumferentially on the rotating mechanism 31. Each time the rotating mechanism 31 stops rotating, the positions of these placement sections 331 correspond one-to-one with the preset loading station 251, bevel cutting station 252, and unloading station 254. That is, before each rotation, each loading station 251, bevel cutting station 252, and unloading station 254 has a corresponding placement section 331. After each rotation, the positions of these placement sections 331 move to the next station. For example, when the loading station 251 and the bevel cutting station 252 are adjacent... The placement part 331, which corresponded to the loading station 251 when the rotation stopped last time, will correspond to the bevel cutting station 252 when the rotation stops this time. With this configuration, the placement parts 331 can cycle between the loading station 251, the bevel cutting station 252, and the unloading station 254 via the intermittent rotation of the rotation mechanism 31. At the loading station 251, the material to be cut can be laid flat on the placement part 331. At the bevel cutting station 252, it can be cut by the bevel cutting assembly 40. At the unloading station 254, the resulting conical piece 12 can be removed. The bevel cutting assembly 40 is positioned corresponding to the bevel cutting station 252 and cuts the material using a beveled cutting head that reciprocates along a first direction, thereby obtaining a beveled conical piece 12. This material cutting equipment effectively improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs. Specifically, in this material cutting equipment, the rotary conveyor assembly 30 uses intermittent rotation for material conveying. This material conveying method enables automatic material conveying and positioning without manual intervention, improving production efficiency. Furthermore, through intermittent rotation, multiple placement units 331 can be simultaneously located at different workstations, achieving parallel processing and further improving efficiency. At the same time, the arrangement of each workstation around the rotary mechanism 31 results in a small footprint, allowing for a more compact overall design of the material cutting equipment. More importantly, the rotary conveyor assembly 30 can better coordinate with the bevel cutting assembly 40. Specifically, since the bevel cutting head in the bevel cutting assembly 40 only moves in a first direction, and this first direction is clearly inclined, for the material to be accurately cut into a beveled conical piece 12, the position of the material placed on the placement unit 331 must accurately correspond to the position of the bevel cutting assembly 40.This technical solution uses a rotary conveying assembly 30, in which the rotary mechanism 31 has higher positioning accuracy than the conventional linear conveying method, thereby ensuring that the material to be cut can always stop at the position corresponding to the bevel cutting head in the bevel cutting assembly 40, so that the bevel cutting assembly 40 can accurately cut the material and ensure the shape, size and position accuracy during bevel cutting.
