[0076] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0077] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model discloses a high-efficiency cutting machine, comprising a machine base 1, a laser cutting device 2, a rotary conveyor 3, a loading device 4, a unloading device 5, and a conveying device 6. The machine base 1 is provided with a processing station 11, a transfer station 12, a loading station 13, and an unloading station 14. The laser cutting device 2 is positioned directly above the processing station 11 and is used to cut sheet materials. The rotary conveyor 3 is rotatably mounted on the machine base 1 and is used to convey sheet materials between the transfer station 12 and the processing station 11. The loading device 4 is positioned at the loading station 13 and is used to convey unprocessed sheet materials. The unloading device 5 is positioned at the unloading station 14 and is used to convey processed sheet materials. The conveying device 6 is disposed above the transfer station 12, the loading station 13 and the unloading station 14, and is used to convey the unprocessed sheet material at the loading station 13 to the transfer station 12, and to convey the processed sheet material at the transfer station 12 to the unloading station 14.

[0078] Specifically, the feeding device 4, the unloading device 5, and the conveying device 6 realize the mechanized conveying of sheet materials, significantly reducing the need for manual operation and minimizing human intervention.

[0079] The transfer station 12 and the processing station 11 are designed separately. Together with the rotary conveyor device 3, they reduce downtime, improve the continuity of cutting operations, and increase production efficiency.

[0080] The processing station 11, transfer station 12, loading station 13 and unloading station 14 are all compactly arranged, making full use of the equipment space and optimizing space utilization.

[0081] The laser cutting device 2 is fixed directly above the processing station 11 to ensure a stable and precise cutting process and improve cutting accuracy.

[0082] The conveying device 6 directly transfers sheet materials between workstations, avoiding damage to sheet materials caused by manual handling or frequent equipment movement, and reducing sheet material loss.

[0083] When in use, the laser cutting device 2 is located directly above the processing station 11. The rotary conveyor 3 sends the unprocessed sheet material from the transfer station 12 to the processing station 11. The laser cutting device 2 uses a laser beam to cut the unprocessed sheet material into processed sheet material. At the same time, the rotary conveyor 3 sends the previous processed sheet material from the processing station 11 to the transfer station 12 and waits for the laser cutting device 2 to cut it.

[0084] During the waiting interval, the feeding device 4 delivers unprocessed sheet material to the feeding station 13, and the conveying device 6 transfers the processed sheet material from the standby rotary conveyor 3 to the unloading station 14, leaving one end of the standby rotary conveyor 3 at the transfer station 12 empty. The unloading device 5 receives the processed sheet material at the unloading station 14 and delivers it to the subsequent process. At the same time, the conveying device 6 transfers the unprocessed sheet material from the feeding station 13 back to the transfer station 12 and places it at one end of the rotary conveyor 3 at the transfer station 12.

[0085] After the laser cutting device 2 completes the cutting operation, the rotary conveyor 3 sends the processed sheet material from the processing station 11 to the transfer station 12. At the same time, the rotary conveyor 3 sends the unprocessed sheet material from the transfer station 12 back to the processing station 11 for laser cutting operation. This realizes the full-process mechanization, high efficiency and precision of sheet material operation from loading to cutting to unloading, and solves the problems of low efficiency, poor precision, low space utilization and large loss of sheet material in traditional equipment.

[0086] like Figure 2 As shown, the laser cutting device 2 in this embodiment includes a laser cutting unit 21, a detection device 22, a detection driver 23, and a dust removal assembly 24. The laser cutting unit 21 is a picosecond or femtosecond laser cutter. The detection driver 23 is a servo motor and ball screw drive module or a linear motor.

[0087] The laser cutting unit 21 is disposed on the machine base 1 and located directly above the processing station 11; the detection device 22 is disposed below the laser cutting unit 21 and is used to acquire images of the sheet material to be processed; the detection driver 23 is fixed to the machine base 1 and is used to drive the detection device 22 to move; one end of the dust removal component 24 is connected to the machine base 1, and the other end of the dust removal component 24 is disposed between the laser cutting unit 21 and the rotary conveyor 3.

[0088] Specifically, the laser cutting unit 21 is vertically mounted directly above the processing station 11 to reduce beam scattering and focal length deviation.

[0089] The detection device 22 is an optical inspection instrument. A high-resolution optical inspection instrument (such as a CCD camera) is integrated below the laser cutting unit 21 to acquire images of the surface of sheet materials in real time, which facilitates the detection of untreated sheet materials or processed sheet materials.

[0090] The detection device 22 is displaced by the detection driver 23, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the detection device 22 relative to the sheet material or the laser cutting unit 21, and avoids affecting the cutting operation of the laser cutting unit 21 when acquiring the surface image of the sheet material.

[0091] A dust removal component 24 is installed between the laser cutting unit 21 and the rotary conveyor 3. The dust removal component 24 uses negative pressure to extract dust and debris generated during cutting. This prevents dust from adhering to the surface of the sheet material or the laser cutting unit 21, improving the stability of cutting quality; reducing internal contamination of the equipment; and extending the maintenance cycle.

[0092] like Figure 3 As shown, the dust removal assembly 24 in this embodiment includes a support frame 241, a processing hood frame 242, a dust suction pipe 243, and an air blowing component 244; the support frame 241 is fixed to the machine base 1 and is used to support the processing hood frame 242; the processing hood frame 242 is provided with a processing port 245; the dust suction pipe 243 is connected to the processing hood frame 242; the air blowing component 244 is disposed on one side of the processing hood frame 242 opposite to the dust suction pipe 243.

[0093] Specifically, the processing cover 242 is rigidly connected to the machine base 1 through a rigid support structure (such as an aluminum alloy frame), forming a spatial isolation zone inside the processing cover 242 to block the outward diffusion path of dust. This eliminates the interference of equipment vibration on the dust collection component 24, improving the stability of dust collection; the modular design facilitates quick disassembly and maintenance.

[0094] The processing port 245 provides a vertical channel for laser cutting (the aperture is slightly larger than the laser spot diameter), while limiting the dust diffusion range and forming a semi-enclosed dust collection space. The dust escape rate is lower than that of traditional open structures.

[0095] The suction pipe 243 is connected to the side or top of the processing hood 242. It generates a negative pressure of ≥500Pa through a centrifugal fan to directionally extract the dust generated during cutting. The dust collection efficiency is ≥98%, preventing dust from adhering to sheet materials or laser lenses. The suction pipe 243 can be connected to a centralized dust removal system to reduce the risk of internal contamination of the equipment.

[0096] An air blowing component 244 (such as a compressed air nozzle) is positioned on the opposite side of the suction pipe 243, forming a unidirectional airflow (wind speed ≥10m / s) that directs suspended dust to the suction port of the suction pipe 243. This eliminates dust eddy retention within the processing hood frame 242, reducing dust removal dead zones by 90%; the synergistic effect of the airflow increases dust particle aggregation by 40%, extending the lifespan of the filtration system.

[0097] like Figure 7 As shown, the conveying device 6 in this embodiment includes a conveying frame 61, a synchronous driver 62, a loading clamp 63, a unloading clamp 64, a first optical detector 65, and a second optical detector 66. The conveying frame 61 is fixed to the machine base 1. The synchronous driver 62 is disposed on the conveying frame 61 and is used to drive the loading clamp 63 and the unloading clamp 64 to move simultaneously. The first optical detector 65 is fixed to the loading clamp 63 and is used to acquire images of unprocessed materials. The second optical detector 66 is fixed to the unloading clamp 64 and is used to acquire images of processed materials.

[0098] Specifically, the conveyor frame 61 integrates the overall structure of the conveyor device 6 with the machine base 1 through rigid connections (such as bolting or welding), forming a stable mechanical support foundation and eliminating displacement deviations caused by independent installation of multiple modules.

[0099] The synchronous driver 62 uses a single-axis synchronous belt or linear motor to drive the loading clamp 63 and unloading clamp 64 in a dual-slider common rail design, achieving synchronous movement of loading and unloading with perfect timing matching. The operation cycle of the loading clamp 63 and unloading clamp 64 is shortened by 50% (from 2 seconds / cycle to 1 second / cycle); avoiding the asynchronous error of traditional dual drivers, the positioning accuracy of sheet material handover is improved to ±0.02mm.

[0100] The first optical inspection instrument 65 is fixed to the loading clamp 63. The first optical inspection instrument 65 is a CCD camera, so that the loading clamp 63 integrates a high-resolution CCD camera to capture the surface image (such as scratches and foreign objects) of the unprocessed sheet material in real time, which facilitates the early rejection of defective products (identification accuracy ±0.01mm) and avoids invalid processing.

[0101] The second optical inspection instrument 66 is fixed to the unloading clamp 64. The second optical inspection instrument 66 is an infrared or laser scanner, which facilitates 3D morphological inspection of the cut edge of the processed sheet material (such as burr height and chipped edge size), and facilitates accurate positioning of the cutting defects of the sheet material in subsequent material selection and inspection processes.

[0102] like Figure 7 As shown, in this embodiment, both the loading clamp 63 and the unloading clamp 64 include a lifting driver 631, a clamping or releasing driver 632, a gripper 633, and a vacuum suction cup 634. The lifting driver 631 can be a drive module combining a servo motor and a ball screw, a cylinder, or an electric cylinder. The clamping or releasing driver 632 is a pneumatic slide, an electric slide, a bidirectional cylinder, or a linear motor. The first optical inspection instrument 65 and the second optical inspection instrument 66 are both laser displacement sensors or CCD cameras.

[0103] The lifting driver 631 is fixed to the synchronous driver 62 and is used to drive the clamping or releasing driver 632 to lift. The lifting driver 631 is rigidly connected to the moving shaft of the synchronous driver 62 to realize the synchronous control of the vertical lifting and horizontal movement of the gripper 633.

[0104] The number of grippers 633 is two, and the two grippers 633 are respectively slidably connected to the two sides of the gripping or releasing driver 632. The gripping or releasing driver 632 is used to drive the two grippers 633 to move closer to each other or further away from each other. The gripping driver drives the two grippers 633 to slide in both directions, so that the two grippers 633 can move closer to each other to grip the sheet material and move further away from each other to release the sheet material, which can adapt to sheet materials of different materials.

[0105] The vacuum suction cup 634 is fixed to the bottom of the clamping or releasing driver 632 and is used to hold sheet materials. When the gripper 633 closes, the vacuum suction cup 634 adsorbs the material through negative pressure, forming a double fixation of gripper 633 and vacuum adsorption, which improves the anti-vibration and offset capability.

[0106] The first optical detector 65 is fixed to the lifting driver 631 of the loading clamp 63; the second optical detector 66 is fixed to the lifting driver 631 of the unloading clamp 64. The first optical detector 65 and the second optical detector 66 move synchronously with the lifting driver 631 to acquire the surface image of the sheet material during the lifting process, which facilitates the subsequent inspection work.

[0107] like Figure 7As shown, the clamping or releasing driver 632 in this embodiment is provided with a driving block 6321. There are two driving blocks 6321. The clamping or releasing is used to drive the two driving blocks 6321 to move closer or further away from each other. The two driving blocks 6321 move synchronously in opposite directions through the clamping or releasing driver 632. The driving path is symmetrical and the force is balanced, eliminating the eccentric torque of unilateral driving.

[0108] The gripper 633 includes a gripping rod 6331 and a supporting block 6332. The gripping rod 6331 slides along the vertical direction of the driving block 6321 and moves as the two driving blocks 6321 move closer or further apart. After the gripper 633 grips the sheet material, the sheet material can slide along the vertical direction of the driving block 6321 with the gripping rod 6331. This avoids hard contact between the sheet material and the carrier (such as the first positioning fixture 15, the second positioning fixture 16, or the rotary conveyor 3) when the sheet material is released. The impact force is dissipated by sliding along the vertical direction of the driving block 6321.

[0109] The support block 6332 is disposed on the side of the clamping rod frame 6331 facing the clamping or releasing driver 632, and is used to support sheet materials. The support block 6332 is made of a soft material (such as silicone or polyurethane) that fits against the edge of the sheet material, providing surface contact support during clamping and dispersing local pressure.

[0110] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotary conveying device 3 of this embodiment includes a rotary frame 31, a material fixing tray 32, and a rotary driver 33. The rotary frame 31 is rotatably connected to the machine base 1. The material fixing tray 32 is disposed on the rotary frame 31 and is used to fix sheet materials. The rotary driver 33 drives the rotary frame 31 and the machine base 1 to rotate.

[0111] Specifically, the rotating frame 31 is rotatably connected to the machine base 1 through high-precision bearings (such as crossed roller bearings), and the rotation axis is precisely aligned with the spatial positions of the processing station 11, the transfer station 12, the loading station 13 and the unloading station 14 to ensure the shortest rotation path.

[0112] The solid material tray 32 uses vacuum adsorption or electrostatic adsorption technology to stabilize the sheet material during rotation, avoiding slippage or vibration displacement.

[0113] The rotary driver 33 uses a direct drive servo motor (DD motor) or a harmonic geared motor to drive the rotary frame 31 and the machine base 1 to rotate, meeting the micron-level cutting requirements.

[0114] Preferably, the material tray 32 includes a negative pressure suction cup 321, and a material-bearing protrusion 322 is provided on the top of the negative pressure suction cup 321; the material-bearing protrusion 322 is provided on the top of the negative pressure suction cup 321; and a relief groove 323 is provided at the connection between the material-bearing protrusion 322 and the negative pressure suction cup 321 to avoid the gripper 633.

[0115] Specifically, the negative pressure suction cup 321 generates negative pressure (-50kPa to -90kPa) through a vacuum pump, uses adsorption force to fix the bottom of the sheet material, and at the same time distributes the adsorption force evenly through a porous structure (pore diameter 0.1-0.5mm) to avoid local stress concentration, so that the sheet material is fixed to the solid material plate 32 and the sheet material fixation offset is reduced.

[0116] Preferably, the support boss 322 is made of an elastic material (such as silicone or polyurethane) to disperse pressure.

[0117] A U-shaped or V-shaped clearance groove 323 is provided on the edge of the suction cup to provide physical space for the gripper 633 to perform gripping or releasing actions, thereby avoiding interference between the gripper 633 and the suction cup.

[0118] The machine base 1 is provided with a first positioning fixture 15 and a second positioning fixture 16 corresponding to the conveying path of the conveying device 6. The first positioning fixture 15 and the second positioning fixture 16 each include a support part 161, a bearing part 162 and a positioning part 163. The support part 161 is fixed to the machine base 1. The bearing part 162 is disposed at the top of the support part 161. The positioning part 163 is disposed at the edge of the support part 161.

[0119] Specifically, the support 161 is integrated with the machine base 1 through a rigid connection (such as bolting or welding) to form a stable mechanical reference surface and eliminate the interference of external vibration on the positioning process.

[0120] The bearing section 162 is made of a low-friction coefficient material (such as Teflon coating or air-bearing guide rail), and the sheet material is fixed by planar support or vacuum adsorption to reduce the frictional resistance of the contact surface.

[0121] The positioning part 163 is provided at the edge of the support part 161 to perform lateral positioning after the sheet material is placed, so as to correct the positional deviation.

[0122] The supporting part 162 is provided with a clearance groove 164 to facilitate the clamping or releasing of sheet materials by the conveying device 6. Specifically, a clearance groove 164 (such as a U-shaped or rectangular groove) matching the movement trajectory of the gripper 633 of the conveying device 6 is formed on the surface of the supporting part 162. This eliminates contact interference between the gripper 633 and the supporting part 162 through physical space avoidance, while preserving a stable support area at the bottom of the sheet material. This avoids clamping interference and improves loading and unloading efficiency.

[0123] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the feeding device 4 and unloading device 5 in this embodiment both include a conveyor rack 41, a sheet material conveyor belt 42, a plate material box 43, a flipping mechanism 44, and a docking conveyor mechanism 45. The sheet material conveyor belt 42, the flipping mechanism 44, and the docking conveyor mechanism 45 are sequentially arranged on the conveyor rack 41; the plate material box 43 is used to store unprocessed or processed sheet materials; the sheet material conveyor belt 42 is used to convey the plate material box 43; the flipping mechanism 44 is used to flip the plate material box 43 so that the feed port of the plate material box 43 is parallel or perpendicular to the docking conveyor mechanism 45; the docking conveyor mechanism 45 is used to convey the unprocessed sheet materials from the plate material box 43 to the feeding station 13 or to convey the processed sheet materials from the unloading station 14 to the plate material box 43.

[0124] Specifically, the conveyor rack 41 serves as the basic structure of the entire feeding device 4 and unloading device 5, supporting the sheet material conveyor belt 42, the tilting mechanism 44, and the docking conveyor mechanism 45, and providing space support for the installation and operation of these components. It provides a stable support platform to ensure the coordinated operation of all components. The integrated design optimizes the equipment layout and saves space.

[0125] The sheet material conveyor belt 42 is responsible for transporting the insert plate box 43 from its starting position to the tilting mechanism 44. It moves smoothly via motor drive or chain transmission.
