Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of copper cutting technology, and in particular to a copper cutting device. Background Technology
[0002] In industrial production, copper rods and other copper materials are widely used. After casting, cutting them into sections is an indispensable process to meet the specifications of various machined parts. Traditionally, copper rod cutting relies primarily on machining, requiring operators to manually adjust machine parameters and position the copper material for each cut, resulting in excessive manual intervention. When faced with multiple batch cutting tasks, frequent manual intervention is necessary, consuming significant labor and making the cutting control process cumbersome. Fluctuations in cutting accuracy can easily occur due to operator fatigue and negligence, thus affecting processing precision. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to solve the problems existing in the prior art, the technical problem of this utility model is to provide an automated copper cutting device.
[0004] A copper cutting device includes a processing table. A first material transfer mechanism, a second material transfer mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a limit switch are sequentially arranged on the upper surface of the processing table along the feeding direction. A material rack for storing blanks is provided near the first material transfer mechanism. The first material transfer mechanism transfers the blanks from the rack to the second material transfer mechanism, which then moves the blanks toward the cutting mechanism. The second material transfer mechanism includes a bracket mounted on the processing table. A motor, a cylinder I, a driving wheel, and a driven wheel are mounted on the bracket. The driving wheel and the driven wheel are arranged opposite each other. The motor is drive-connected to the driving wheel, and the driven wheel is slidably connected to the bracket via a wheel frame. The wheel frame is connected to the movable rod of the cylinder I. The second material transfer mechanism drives the blanks forward. When the copper blanks touch the limit switch, the cutting mechanism is activated.
[0005] To further explain, the first material transfer mechanism includes a linear slide table arranged on the processing table along the feeding direction. The upper end surface of the linear slide table is provided with a blank clamping part. The blank clamping part includes a fixed end, a movable end and a control switch. The trigger end of the control switch is located between the fixed end and the movable end. When the control switch is triggered, the movable end starts and cooperates with the fixed end to clamp the blank.
[0006] To further explain, one end of the linear slide is close to the material rack, and the other end is close to the second material transfer mechanism.
[0007] To further explain, there are two driving wheels and two driven wheels, and the two driving wheels are connected by a chain or pulley drive.
[0008] To further explain, an identification sensor is provided between the first material transfer mechanism and the second material transfer mechanism, and the motor and cylinder I are electrically connected to the identification sensor respectively.
[0009] To further explain, the material rack includes a material rack body, the upper end of which is provided with multiple crossbeams, which are inclined. The upper end of each crossbeam has a blocking part. The blank is placed between the crossbeam and the blocking part. The two ends of the material rack body are also provided with lifting mechanisms. The lifting mechanism includes a vertically arranged power slide. The power slide is provided with a lifting rod with the same inclination angle as the crossbeam. The top of the lower end of the lifting rod has a hook-shaped structure. When the power slide drives the lifting rod to rise, the blank at the front end of the material rack is transferred to one end of the hook-shaped structure of the lifting rod, and the extension line of one end of the blank is located between the fixed end and the movable end.
[0010] To further explain, the cutting mechanism includes a vertical plate set on the upper surface of the processing table, a rotating shaft set on the upper end of the vertical plate, a connecting plate I set on the rotating shaft, a cutting machine set at one end of the connecting plate I, and a cylinder II connected to the opposite end of the connecting plate I. The cylinder II drives the connecting plate I to rotate around the rotating shaft, so that the blade of the cutting machine moves closer to or away from the workpiece.
[0011] To further explain, one end of the rotating shaft is also provided with a connecting plate II, one end of the connecting plate II is provided with a pressure roller, and the other end is connected to one end of a tension spring, and the other end of the tension spring is connected to the upright plate.
[0012] To further explain, a receiving frame is provided between the second material transfer mechanism and the limit switch. The receiving frame includes a column and a long strip triangular plate. One side of the long strip triangular plate is hinged to the upper end of the column, and the other end is hinged to the movable rod of cylinder III. The other end of cylinder III is hinged to the lower end of the column.
[0013] To further explain, the bottom of the elongated triangular plate is provided with a sloping guide plate.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. This utility model achieves automatic cutting of copper rods by setting up automated material transfer and cutting mechanisms, eliminating the need for frequent manual operation and effectively reducing the labor intensity of operators. The first material transfer mechanism transfers the billet to the second material transfer mechanism, which drives the billet forward. When the billet touches the limit switch, the cutting mechanism automatically starts. The entire process is automated, greatly improving cutting efficiency and reducing the risk of human error, thus achieving efficient and stable production of copper rod cutting.
[0016] 2. The clamping part of this utility model achieves reliable clamping and release of the blank through the cooperation of the fixed end and the movable end with the control switch, avoiding loosening or falling during the material transfer process, thereby ensuring that the blank can be accurately transferred from the material rack to the second material transfer mechanism.
[0017] 3. This utility model has two driving wheels and two driven wheels, which are connected by chain or pulley transmission. The dual-wheel configuration can distribute the transmitted force more evenly and reduce the phenomenon of insufficient power or slippage caused by excessive load on a single wheel, thereby ensuring the stability and accuracy of the billet during the transmission process.
[0018] 4. The motor and cylinder I of this utility model are electrically connected to the identification sensor. When the first material transfer mechanism carries the copper material to the second material transfer mechanism, the identification sensor is triggered and the second material transfer mechanism is started to connect with it, so as to realize the automated transfer and material transfer of the blank.
[0019] 5. The lifting mechanism at both ends of the material rack of this utility model, through the combination of a power slide and a lifting rod with a hook-shaped structure, can efficiently transfer the foremost blank to the clamping range of the linear slide, ensuring that the blank can smoothly enter the material transfer mechanism and realize automated feeding.
[0020] 6. The connecting plate II at the other end of the rotating shaft of this utility model, together with the pressure roller and the tension spring, provides stable downward pressure for the cutting process.
[0021] 7. The long strip triangular plate of this utility model can provide temporary support and guidance for the blank before it is transported to the cutting position, and transfer the cut material to the slope guide plate for unloading after cutting. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0029] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0030] like Figure 1-6 The copper cutting device shown is designed to automate the cutting of copper, effectively solving the problems of low efficiency and high error caused by traditional manual cutting methods. The main components include a processing table 1, a first material transfer mechanism 2, a second material transfer mechanism 3, a cutting mechanism 4, a limit switch 5, and a material rack 6. These components are arranged on the upper surface of the processing table 1 according to the feeding direction. Specifically, the first material transfer mechanism 2 accurately transfers the blanks stored on the material rack 6 to the second material transfer mechanism 3 during operation; the second material transfer mechanism 3 smoothly conveys the blanks forward and cuts them through the cutting mechanism 4. When the blank reaches the designated position of the cutting mechanism 4 and touches the limit switch 5, the cutting mechanism 4 is triggered and starts rapidly, efficiently completing the cutting operation. This device achieves full automation from blank storage, gripping, and transfer to cutting, significantly improving production efficiency and cutting accuracy, bringing a revolutionary technological breakthrough to the copper processing industry.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, specifically, the upper surface of the processing table 1 is arranged in sequence along the feeding direction, including the first material transfer mechanism 2, the second material transfer mechanism 3, the cutting mechanism 4, and the limit switch 5. The material rack 6 is close to the first material transfer mechanism 2. The first material transfer mechanism 2 is used to transfer the blank on the material rack 6 to the second material transfer mechanism 3. The second material transfer mechanism 3 moves the blank towards the cutting mechanism 4.
[0032] For details, please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3The second material transfer mechanism 3 includes a bracket 31 mounted on the processing table 1. The bracket 31 is equipped with a motor 32, a cylinder I 33, a drive wheel 34, and a driven wheel 35. The drive wheel 34 and driven wheel 35 are arranged opposite each other. In a preferred embodiment, there are two drive wheels 34 and two driven wheels 35. The two drive wheels 34 are connected by a chain or pulley drive. The rotation direction of the drive wheels 34 must be consistent. The driven wheel 35 can move relative to the drive wheel 34. Specifically, the driven wheel 35 is mounted on a wheel frame, and a slider is mounted at the bottom of the wheel frame. A slide rail matching the slider is provided on the bracket 31. The slide rail is horizontally arranged, and the slider moving on the slide rail can drive the driven wheel 35 closer to or away from the drive wheel 34. The cylinder I 33 is mounted on the bracket 31, and the movable rod of the cylinder I 33 is connected to the wheel frame or the slider. The cylinder I 33 is used to provide power. When the blank is placed between the driving wheel 34 and the driven wheel 35, the driven wheel 35 approaches the driving wheel 34, and the two achieve clamping of the blank. The motor 32 starts and drives the driving wheel 34 to rotate, and the blank is transported forward by friction.
[0033] refer to Figure 2 The first material transfer mechanism 2 includes a linear slide 21 and a blank clamping part. The first material transfer mechanism 2 functions similarly to a mechanical gripper, primarily grabbing the blank from the material rack 6 and placing it between the driven wheel 35 and the driving wheel 34 of the second material transfer mechanism 3, thus transmitting it forward for quantitative cutting. Specifically, the linear slide 21 is located on the upper surface of the processing table 1 and extends along the feeding direction. One end of the track of the linear slide 21 is close to the material rack 6, and the other end is close to the second material transfer mechanism 3. The blank clamping part is located on the linear slide 21, and includes a fixed end 22, a movable end 23, and a control switch 24. The fixed end 22 is fixedly located on the upper surface of the linear slide 21, and the movable end 23 is driven by a cylinder IV. When the movable end 23 approaches the fixed end 22, a clamping operation is achieved. In addition, the control switch 24 is set on the linear slide table 21. The trigger end of the control switch 24 is located between the fixed end 22 and the movable end 23. When the copper material enters between the fixed end 22 and the movable end 23, the blank material presses down on the trigger end of the control switch 24 due to its own weight, opening it. When the control switch 24 is triggered, the cylinder IV starts and clamps the tube. At the same time, the linear slide table 21 starts and drives the copper material to move towards the side of the second material transfer mechanism 3, and places one end of the blank material between the driven wheel 35 and the driving wheel 34.
[0034] In addition, such as Figure 2As shown, an identification sensor 9 is installed between the first material transfer mechanism 2 and the second material transfer mechanism 3. The identification sensor 9 is connected to the motor 32 and the cylinder I 33 respectively. The function of the identification sensor 9 is to detect whether there is blank material passing by the location. If blank material is detected passing by the identification sensor 9, the motor 32 and the cylinder I 33 are started, so that the blank material is conveyed forward on the second material transfer mechanism 3. During the continuous conveying process, the front end of the blank material will touch the limit switch 5. When the blank material triggers the limit switch 5, the motor 32 stops rotating and the cutting mechanism 4 is started to cut. After the cutting mechanism 4 finishes cutting, the cut blank material falls, the limit switch 5 is released, and the motor 32 continues to work, and the blank material is conveyed forward.
[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the cutting mechanism 4 specifically includes a vertical plate 41 mounted on the upper surface of the processing table 1. A shaft hole is provided at the upper end of the vertical plate 41, and a rotating shaft 42 is rotatably mounted in the shaft hole. The middle part of a connecting plate I 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 42. One end of the connecting plate I 43 is equipped with a cutting machine 44, and the opposite end is hinged to the front end of the movable rod of a cylinder II 45. The tail end of the cylinder II 45 is hinged to the vertical plate 41. The extension and retraction of the movable rod of the cylinder II 45 will cause the connecting plate I 43 to move up and down around the rotating shaft 42. When the movable rod of the cylinder II 45 extends, one end of the connecting plate I 43 rises, and the opposite end where the cutting machine 44 is mounted descends, thus cutting the blank material below the cutting machine 44. Additionally, a connecting plate II 46 is also provided at one end of the rotating shaft 42. A pressure roller 47 is provided at one end of the connecting plate II 46 near the cutting machine 44, and the other end is connected to one end of a tension spring 48. The other end of the tension spring 48 is connected to the vertical plate 41. When cutting the blank, the pressure roller 47 set on the connecting plate II 46 can provide stable downward pressure, while the tension spring 48 plays its elastic buffering role.
[0036] like Figure 5 As shown, this device achieves automatic feeding through the cooperation of the material rack 6 and the first material transfer mechanism 2. The material rack 6 includes a material rack body 61, multiple crossbeams 62, and a lifting mechanism. The multiple crossbeams 62 are arranged at the upper end of the material rack body 61 and are inclined. The upper end of the crossbeams 62 has a blocking part 63. The billet is placed between the crossbeams 62 and the blocking part 63. Due to its own weight, the billet will abut against the blocking part 63. The lifting mechanism specifically includes a vertically arranged power slide 64 and a lifting rod 65 arranged on the power slide 64. There are two power slides 64, which are fixed on both sides of the material rack body 61 respectively. The lifting rod 65 has the same inclination angle as the crossbeams 62. The top of the lower end of the lifting rod 65 forms a hook-shaped structure 66. When the power slide 64 drives the lifting rod 65 to rise, the blank at the front end of the material rack 6 is transferred to one end of the hook-shaped structure 66 of the lifting rod 65, and the extension line of one end of the blank is located between the fixed end 22 and the movable end 23.
[0037] In addition, such as Figure 6 As shown, this device achieves automatic material unloading through a receiving frame 7. The receiving frame 7 is located between the second material transfer mechanism 3 and the limit switch 5. Specifically, the receiving frame 7 includes a column 71 and a long strip triangular plate 72. One side of the long strip triangular plate 72 is hinged to the upper end of the column 71, and the other end is hinged to the movable end 23 of the cylinder III 73. The other end of the cylinder III 73 is hinged to the lower end of the column 71. In addition, a sloping guide plate 8 is provided at the bottom of the long strip triangular plate 72. The long strip triangular plate 72 can flexibly swing up and down according to the movement of the cylinder III 73, providing temporary support and precise guidance for the blank transferred to the cutting position. After cutting, the long strip triangular plate 72 flips down to transfer the cut blank to the sloping guide plate 8 and let it fall freely, achieving the purpose of automatic material unloading.
[0038] Working principle:
[0039] In actual operation, the copper billet is first neatly placed on the inclined beam 62 of the material rack 6, and slides naturally to the front end under gravity. At this time, the power slide 64 of the lifting mechanism drives the lifting rod 65 to rise, and the billet slides freely to one end of the hook-shaped structure 66. At the same time, part of the billet is placed between the movable end 23 and the fixed end 22. By triggering the control switch 24, the movable end 23 is started. The movable end 23 and the fixed end 22 are tightly engaged to firmly clamp the billet. The linear slide 21 then starts and smoothly transfers the billet to the second material transfer mechanism 3. During the transfer, the identification sensor 9 detects that a billet has passed by and sends a signal. At this time, the motor 32 of the second material transfer mechanism 3 drives the drive wheel 34 to rotate. At the same time, the cylinder I 33 synchronously adjusts the distance between the driven wheels 35 to ensure that the billet is stably transferred between the two wheels. When the blank triggers the limit switch 5, the cutting mechanism 4 is immediately triggered and starts quickly, efficiently completing the cutting operation. After the cutting is completed, the cylinder III 73 drives the long strip triangular plate 72 to flip down, transferring the cut blank to the slope guide plate 8 and letting it fall freely.
[0040] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the inventive concept, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
