Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal cutting machine technology, specifically to an adjustable material support frame for a metal cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of modern industry and the advancement of technology, cutting machines are increasingly widely used in various fields. In power construction, they are commonly used for cutting and processing metal parts (such as round steel, steel pipes, channel steel, aluminum alloys, etc.).

[0003] However, traditional metal cutting machines have limited applications and are inefficient. In actual use, steel is often quite long, and without a fixed material support frame (temporary blocks or simple supports are commonly used on site), there are safety hazards. Feeding is also time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, without fixed and accurate measuring aids (measuring tape measures or temporary positioning blocks are commonly used on site to determine the length of metal parts being cut), the fixing methods are inaccurate and inconvenient.

[0004] To address this issue, we designed an adjustable material support frame for metal cutting machines. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable material support frame for a metal cutting machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides an adjustable material support frame for a metal cutting machine, including a base plate and a top plate. A cross connecting rod is rotatably connected between the base plate and the top plate. A first scale plate is bolted to one side wall of the top plate, and a second scale plate is bolted to one side wall of the base plate. The bottom side of the first scale plate abuts against the top side of the second scale plate. The surfaces of both the first and second scale plates are provided with uniformly distributed scale lines.

[0007] Furthermore, side plates are fixedly connected to the front and rear edges of the top of the base plate, a bidirectional screw is threadedly connected to one side between the two side plates, and a first slide rod is fixedly provided on the other side between the two side plates. The bidirectional screw and the first slide rod are symmetrical, and the cross connecting rod is provided on the bidirectional screw and the first slide rod.

[0008] Furthermore, there are two cross links, with one end of the bottom of each cross link threadedly connected to both ends of the bidirectional screw, and the other end of the bottom of each cross link slidably connected to the first slide rod.

[0009] Furthermore, one end of the bidirectional screw passes through the side plate and is fixedly connected to an adjusting turntable outside the side plate. The adjusting turntable is circular in shape.

[0010] Furthermore, two second sliding rods are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the top plate, and a fixing plate is fixedly installed at both ends of the two second sliding rods. The fixing plate is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the top plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a through groove is provided at the center of the top surface of the fixing plate, and a support roller is rotatably connected in the through groove. A round shaft is inserted between the inner walls of the two ends of the through groove, and the support roller is rotatably connected to the round shaft.

[0012] Furthermore, both ends of the circular shaft extend outside the top plate and have insertion holes, into which insertion rods are inserted, and the insertion rods are perpendicular to the circular shaft.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer wall of the support roller is fixedly provided with multiple anti-slip textures, and the anti-slip textures are made of rubber.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0015] When adjusting the height of the support frame using the cross linkage, the operator can directly observe the scale lines and accurately control the distance the top plate rises or falls. This allows the metal material to be cut to be precisely adjusted to the required height, ensuring that the material is in the ideal cutting position during the cutting process. This greatly improves cutting accuracy, reduces cutting size errors caused by material height deviations, and guarantees the quality of the cut metal parts.

[0016] This invention allows for height adjustment by rotating the adjusting turntable, which drives the bidirectional screw to rotate and thus moves the cross linkage. Compared to the traditional method of manually adjusting the height of each pad individually, this operation is simpler and less labor-intensive, enabling rapid adjustment of the support frame height, saving preparation time before cutting, and improving work efficiency.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an adjustable material support frame for a metal cutting machine, including a base plate 1 and a top plate 2. A cross link 9 is rotatably connected between the base plate 1 and the top plate 2. A first scale plate 14 is bolted to one side wall of the top plate 2, and a second scale plate 15 is bolted to one side wall of the base plate 1. The bottom side of the first scale plate 14 abuts against the top side of the second scale plate 15. The surfaces of both the first scale plate 14 and the second scale plate 15 are provided with evenly distributed scale lines. The front and rear edges of the top of the base plate 1 are fixedly connected... A side plate 3 is attached, and a double-acting screw 4 is threadedly connected to one side between the two side plates 3. A first slide rod 5 is fixedly installed on the other side between the two side plates 3. The double-acting screw 4 and the first slide rod 5 are symmetrical. A cross connecting rod 9 is installed on the double-acting screw 4 and the first slide rod 5. One end of the double-acting screw 4 passes through the side plate 3 and is fixedly connected to an adjusting turntable 6 outside the side plate 3. The adjusting turntable 6 is circular in shape. Two second slide rods 8 are symmetrically arranged at the bottom end of the top plate 2. A fixing plate 7 is fixedly installed at both ends of the two second slide rods 8. The fixing plate 7 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the top plate 2.

[0024] In practice, when the height of the support frame needs to be adjusted, the operator holds the adjusting turntable 6 and rotates it. As the bidirectional screw 4 rotates, the threaded ends of the two cross links 9 at the bottom will move relative to or away from each other along the bidirectional screw 4. As the cross links 9 move, the top plate 2 will rise or fall accordingly. At this time, the operator observes the scale lines on the first scale plate 14 and the second scale plate 15. When the top plate 2 rises or falls to a suitable height, and the scale lines display a value that matches the height of the metal material to be cut, the operator stops rotating the adjusting turntable 6, thus completing the height adjustment.

[0025] See Figure 1There are two cross links 9. One end of the bottom of the two cross links 9 is threaded to both ends of the double-acting screw 4, and the other end of the bottom of the two cross links 9 is slidably connected to the first slide rod 5. Moreover, the two cross links 9 cooperate with each other to evenly distribute the pressure transmitted from the top plate 2.

[0026] In practice, when the bidirectional screw 4 rotates, since the threads at both ends of the screw 4 rotate in opposite directions, the ends of the two cross links 9 that are threaded to the bidirectional screw 4 will move relative to or away from each other along the screw. The other end of the bottom of the cross link 9 slides on the first slide bar 5 to ensure that the cross link 9 moves stably.

[0027] See Figure 4 A through groove 10 is provided at the center of the top surface of the fixed plate 7. A support roller 11 is rotatably connected in the through groove 10. A round shaft 12 is inserted between the inner walls of the two ends of the through groove 10. The support roller 11 is rotatably connected to the round shaft 12. The two ends of the round shaft 12 extend to the outside of the top plate 2 and have insertion holes. Insert rods 13 are inserted into the insertion holes. The insertion rods 13 are perpendicular to the round shaft 12.

[0028] In practice, if wear or replacement of the support roller 11 is found during long-term use, the round shaft 12 can be removed from the through groove 10 by pulling out the insertion rod 13, thereby replacing the support roller 11. The design of the insertion rod 13 being perpendicularly inserted into the round shaft 12 ensures that the round shaft 12 can stably support the support roller 11 during normal use, preventing axial movement and ensuring the stability of the cutting process.

[0029] See Figure 1 The outer wall of the support roller 11 is fixed with multiple anti-slip textures, and the anti-slip textures are made of rubber.

[0030] In practice, the anti-slip texture of the rubber material on the outer wall of the support roller 11 can increase the friction between the material and the metal material, prevent the material from sliding on the support roller 11, and ensure the stability of the material position during the cutting process.

[0031] Working Principle: This device rotates the adjusting turntable 6, which drives the bidirectional screw 4 to rotate. Utilizing the opposite direction of the threads at both ends of the bidirectional screw 4, the bottom ends of the two cross connecting rods 9 move relative to or away from each other on the bidirectional screw 4, thereby raising or lowering the top plate 2 to adjust the support height. The first scale plate 14 and the second scale plate 15 abut each other and have scale lines on their surfaces, providing precise measurement basis for height adjustment. The operator can accurately adjust the height of the top plate 2 according to the scale to ensure that the metal material placed on the support roller 11 reaches the appropriate cutting height. During the cutting process, the support roller 11 can rotate around the circular shaft 12, reducing friction when feeding the metal material and facilitating the operator to push the material for cutting.

[0032] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
