A waste collection mechanism for cutting thermoplastic composite sheet Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waste collection technology, specifically a waste collection mechanism for cutting thermoplastic composite material sheets. Background Technology

[0002] Thermoplastic composite sheets are made from thermoplastic resins (such as polypropylene, polycarbonate, polyamide, etc.) as the matrix and reinforced with materials such as glass fiber and carbon fiber. They are characterized by flexible processing, reusability, and high strength and durability. Due to their advantages of being lightweight, high-strength, flexible in processing, and environmentally friendly and sustainable, thermoplastic composite sheets have been widely used in many fields such as automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction. With the increasing demand for lightweighting and the stricter requirements for environmental protection, thermoplastic composites will have greater development potential in the future.

[0003] Thermoplastic composite sheets typically require customized processing based on specific application scenarios. Cutting is a crucial means of achieving precise dimensions and shapes. For example, in fields such as automotive, aerospace, and construction, the design of components often demands high precision. Cutting ensures that the sheets meet design requirements. However, current methods for cutting thermoplastic composite sheets require manual adjustment of the sheet material to align with the measuring ruler multiple times. This method is cumbersome and reduces cutting efficiency. Furthermore, existing cutting machines have waste collection troughs. Once debris accumulates in the troughs, it is necessary to manually shovel it out, resulting in time-consuming and labor-intensive cleaning processes. Summary of the Invention

[0023] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Example

[0026] As shown in Figures 1-6, a waste collection mechanism for cutting thermoplastic composite sheet includes: a cutting machine 1, a feeding platform 101 installed at the outer end of the cutting machine 1, a feeding port 102 opened at the outer end of the cutting machine 1 near the feeding platform 101, a positioning component set inside the cutting machine 1, the positioning component including: a positioning block 2, a measuring ruler 201, a machine housing a202, an electric push rod a203 and an opening 204, and a collection component set at the bottom of the cutting machine 1, the collection component including: a discharge trough 3, a collection trolley 301, a lockable caster wheel 302 and a handle 303.

[0027] In this implementation plan: When cutting thermoplastic composite material sheets, it is necessary to manually adjust the thermoplastic composite material sheet and the measuring ruler multiple times. This method is cumbersome and reduces cutting efficiency. At the same time, the existing cutting machine has a waste collection tank. When the waste collection tank is filled with debris, it is necessary to manually shovel the debris out and clean it, which is time-consuming and laborious. Based on this, a positioning component and a collection component are added. That is, this application addresses the shortcomings of the existing cutting machine 1 and designs a new structure to solve them.

[0028] The cutting machine 1 has a positioning block 2 on one side inside, and measuring rulers 201 are installed on both sides of the outer end of the positioning block 2. A housing a202 is installed on the outer end of the cutting machine 1 away from the feeding table 101. An electric push rod a203 is installed inside the housing a202. An opening 204 is opened between the housing a202 and the cutting machine 1. One end of the electric push rod a203 passes through the opening 204 and is connected to the positioning block 2.

[0029] When cutting thermoplastic composite sheets, the sheet is placed on the feeding table 101 and fed into the cutting machine 1. When the length of the sheet needs to be precisely positioned, the electric push rod a203 is activated. The electric push rod a203 pushes the positioning block 2 to the left, allowing it to move and adjust between the two measuring rulers 201. For example, if the cutting length is 3m, the positioning block 2 is moved to align with the 3m position on the measuring ruler 201. The electric push rod a203 is then stopped. The thermoplastic composite sheet is then pushed towards the positioning block 2, so that one end of the sheet is in close contact with the positioning block 2. This allows for quick positioning of the required cutting length without the need for multiple manual adjustments to align the sheet with the measuring ruler 201, making the operation convenient and improving the cutting efficiency of the thermoplastic composite sheet.

[0030] The scale on the measuring ruler 201 is 0-50m from left to right. When cutting thermoplastic composite material sheets to the required length, the positioning block 2 can be moved left and right by the electric push rod a203 to adjust and align with the scale value on the measuring ruler 201.

[0031] The cutting machine 1 has an electric push rod b4 installed on one side of its top. A pressure plate 401 is installed at the bottom of the electric push rod b4. When one end of the thermoplastic composite material sheet is in close contact with the positioning block 2, the other end of the thermoplastic composite material sheet is placed on the discharge groove 3 and the thermoplastic composite material sheet is located at the bottom of the pressure plate 401. At this time, the electric push rod b4 is started and pushes the pressure plate 401 downward, so that the pressure plate 401 presses the top of the thermoplastic composite material sheet, pressing the thermoplastic composite material sheet firmly to prevent it from moving during cutting and to avoid affecting the cutting quality of the thermoplastic composite material sheet.

[0032] The pressure plate 401 has a protective plate 402 installed at its bottom. The protective plate 402 is made of rubber material. When the pressure plate 401 presses the thermoplastic composite material sheet, the protective plate 402 at the bottom of the pressure plate 401 can provide a soft layer of protection between the pressure plate 401 and the thermoplastic composite material sheet, thus preventing the thermoplastic composite material sheet from being damaged.

[0033] Among them, a lifting cylinder 5 is installed on one side of the electric push rod b4, and a housing b501 is installed at the bottom of the lifting cylinder 5. A stepper motor 502 is installed at the outer end of the housing b501. A threaded screw 503 connected to the output end of the stepper motor 502 is provided inside the housing b501. A threaded sleeve 504 is threadedly connected to the threaded screw 503. A connecting rod 505 is installed at the bottom of the threaded sleeve 504. An installation block 506 is installed at the bottom of the connecting rod 505. A cutting motor 507 is installed at the bottom of the installation block 506. A cutting blade 508 is installed at the output end of the cutting motor 507.

[0034] When using the cutting blade 508, the cutting blade 508 is aligned with the leftmost end of the measuring ruler 201, and the cutting blade 508 is directly opposite the opening of the discharge groove 3. After the thermoplastic composite material sheet is positioned and fixed inside the cutting machine 1, the lifting cylinder 5 is started to drive the machine box b501 to move downward, so that the cutting blade 508 at the bottom of the machine box b501 moves down to contact the thermoplastic composite material sheet. Then the lifting cylinder 5 is closed and the cutting motor 507 is started. The cutting motor 507 drives the cutting blade 508 to rotate at high speed to cut the thermoplastic composite material sheet. When the thermoplastic composite material sheet is cut, the stepper motor 502 is started to drive the threaded screw 503 to rotate forward. Since the threaded sleeve 504 is threadedly connected to the threaded screw 503, when the threaded screw 503 rotates, it can drive the threaded sleeve 504 to move backward, so that the threaded sleeve 504 drives the connecting rod 505, the mounting block 506, the cutting motor 507 and the cutting blade 508 to move backward. During the movement, the cutting blade 508 can cut the thermoplastic composite material sheet.

[0035] After the thermoplastic composite material sheet is cut, the lifting cylinder 5 drives the housing b501 to move upward, so that the cutting blade 508 at the bottom of the housing b501 moves upward away from the thermoplastic composite material sheet, making it easier to remove the cut thermoplastic composite material sheet.

[0036] The chassis b501 has a bearing installed on one side inside, and the other end of the threaded screw 503 is rotatably connected to the bearing. The bottom of the chassis b501 has a movable groove, and the connecting rod 505 is located inside the movable groove. During the rotation of the threaded screw 503, the other end of the threaded screw 503 is rotatably connected to the bearing, which makes the threaded screw 503 stable and ensures that the threaded screw 503 can rotate normally. When the connecting rod 505 moves back and forth inside the chassis b501, the movable groove at the bottom of the chassis b501 avoids creating movement resistance for the connecting rod 505.

[0037] The positioning block 2 has a discharge trough 3 on one side, and the bottom of the cutting machine 1 has a collection trolley 301 that communicates with the discharge trough 3. The four corners of the bottom of the collection trolley 301 are equipped with lockable casters 302, and the outside of the collection trolley 301 is equipped with a handle 303.

[0038] When cutting thermoplastic composite sheet, the collecting trolley 301 is pushed into the groove at the bottom of the cutting machine 1, so that the collecting trolley 301 is positioned opposite the discharge trough 3. Then, the locking casters 302 at the bottom of the collecting trolley 301 are locked to ensure that the collecting trolley 301 is placed stably. Since the cutting blade 508 is positioned directly opposite the opening of the discharge trough 3, when the cutting blade 508 cuts the thermoplastic composite sheet, the cutting blade 508 will enter the opening of the discharge trough 3, preventing the cutting blade 508 from touching other parts and causing damage. The waste generated during cutting will fall from the discharge chute 3 into the collection trolley 301. The collection trolley 301 collects and stores the waste. After the collection trolley 301 is full of waste, lift the brake pedal of the locking caster wheel 302 to release the lock, grab the handle 303 and pull the collection trolley 301 outward. The collection trolley 301 can be pulled out of the groove at the bottom of the cutting machine 1, and an empty collection trolley 301 can be pushed into the bottom of the cutting machine 1 for continued collection and use. This makes it easy to transfer the collected scrap and waste to the recycling station in the workshop for unified processing.

[0039] When the cutting machine 1 is in use, there are sliding doors on both sides inside the cutting machine 1. There is an observation window on the outside of the sliding door. The observation window is fitted with transparent tempered glass. During the cutting process, the sliding door is closed tightly to prevent the waste generated during cutting from splashing out. The cutting situation can be observed through the observation window.

[0040] Working principle:

[0041] When cutting thermoplastic composite sheets, the sheet is placed on the feeding table 101 and fed into the cutting machine 1. When the length of the sheet needs to be precisely positioned, the electric push rod a203 is activated. The electric push rod a203 pushes the positioning block 2 to the left, allowing it to move and adjust between the two measuring rulers 201. For example, if the cutting length is 3m, the positioning block 2 is moved to align with the 3m position on the measuring ruler 201. The electric push rod a203 is then stopped. The thermoplastic composite sheet is then pushed towards the positioning block 2, so that one end of the sheet is in close contact with the positioning block 2. This allows for quick positioning of the required cutting length without the need for multiple manual adjustments to align the sheet with the measuring ruler 201, making the operation convenient and improving the cutting efficiency of the thermoplastic composite sheet.

[0042] When using the cutting blade 508, the cutting blade 508 is aligned with the leftmost end of the measuring ruler 201, and the cutting blade 508 is directly opposite the opening of the discharge groove 3. After the thermoplastic composite material sheet is positioned and fixed inside the cutting machine 1, the lifting cylinder 5 is started to drive the machine box b501 to move downward, so that the cutting blade 508 at the bottom of the machine box b501 moves down to contact the thermoplastic composite material sheet. Then the lifting cylinder 5 is closed and the cutting motor 507 is started. The cutting motor 507 drives the cutting blade 508 to rotate at high speed to cut the thermoplastic composite material sheet. When the thermoplastic composite material sheet is cut, the stepper motor 502 is started to drive the threaded screw 503 to rotate forward. Since the threaded sleeve 504 is threadedly connected to the threaded screw 503, when the threaded screw 503 rotates, it can drive the threaded sleeve 504 to move backward, so that the threaded sleeve 504 drives the connecting rod 505, the mounting block 506, the cutting motor 507 and the cutting blade 508 to move backward. During the movement, the cutting blade 508 can cut the thermoplastic composite material sheet.

[0043] When cutting thermoplastic composite sheet, the collecting trolley 301 is pushed into the groove at the bottom of the cutting machine 1, so that the collecting trolley 301 is positioned opposite the discharge trough 3. Then, the locking casters 302 at the bottom of the collecting trolley 301 are locked to ensure that the collecting trolley 301 is placed stably. Since the cutting blade 508 is positioned directly opposite the opening of the discharge trough 3, when the cutting blade 508 cuts the thermoplastic composite sheet, the cutting blade 508 will enter the opening of the discharge trough 3, preventing the cutting blade 508 from touching other parts and causing damage. The waste generated during cutting will fall from the discharge chute 3 into the collection trolley 301. The collection trolley 301 collects and stores the waste. After the collection trolley 301 is full of waste, lift the brake pedal of the locking caster wheel 302 to release the lock, grab the handle 303 and pull the collection trolley 301 outward. The collection trolley 301 can be pulled out of the groove at the bottom of the cutting machine 1, and an empty collection trolley 301 can be pushed into the bottom of the cutting machine 1 for continued collection and use. This makes it easy to transfer the collected scrap and waste to the recycling station in the workshop for unified processing.
