Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser cutting machine technology, specifically to a pipe support device for a laser pipe cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Laser tube cutting machines are highly efficient and precise devices that use laser technology to cut metal tubes. They are widely used in various fields such as industrial manufacturing, building decoration, automobile manufacturing, and aerospace. As a highly efficient and precise tube processing equipment, laser tube cutting machines play an important role in modern industrial production due to their high precision, high efficiency, multifunctionality, and energy-saving and environmentally friendly characteristics.

[0003] Existing laser tube cutting machines mainly include a worktable, an automatic feeding system, a cutting device, and an automatic control system. During use, the automatic control system controls the overall operation of the equipment. The automatic feeding system transports the tube to the cutting area. The cutting device is located in the middle of the worktable and cuts the tube using a laser beam. After the tube is moved and rotated by the automatic feeding system, the predetermined cutting effect is achieved, and then it is transported to the rear end of the worktable for placement.

[0004] However, when dealing with long pipes, the lack of support at the rear of the workbench will cause uneven height between the front and back of the pipe, affecting the cutting effect.

[0005] Based on this, the present invention designs a tube support device for a laser tube cutting machine to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a support platform is fixedly provided at one end of the workbench, a support assembly is provided on the support platform, the support assembly includes a support frame and a rotating ring, a receiving plate is fixedly provided on the support frame, a guide strip is fixedly provided in the receiving plate, a guide groove is provided on the rotating ring, the guide strip is slidably connected in the guide groove, and when one end of the pipe rotates in the rotating ring, the rotating ring rotates in the receiving plate.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when the cutting device is cutting, one end of the pipe extends out of the cutting device and enters the rotating ring. The support component supports the pipe. When the pipe rotates, the rotating ring rotates along with it. The guide groove on the rotating ring rotates continuously along the guide strip on the receiving plate, so that the rotating ring can rotate in a direction on the receiving plate. The friction between the pipe and the rotating ring is reduced, which not only supports the pipe, but also reduces the impact on the pipe due to rotation, thus improving the cutting effect of the pipe.

[0008] Preferably, the support platform is rotatably equipped with transmission gears at both ends, and a conveyor belt is fitted onto the transmission gears at both ends. A motor is fixedly mounted on the support platform, and the motor is coaxially connected to the gears. The movement direction of the conveyor belt is consistent with the displacement direction of the pipe, and the support assembly is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the pipe moves horizontally, the motor is turned on, causing the motor to rotate. The gear drives the conveyor belt to start transporting the support components in the same direction, reducing the relative movement between the pipe and the support components and reducing the friction on the pipe.

[0010] Preferably, the rotating ring is provided with a positioning sleeve, which abuts against the pipe wall.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning sleeve can be adapted to the shape of the pipe, making the fit between the pipe and the rotating ring tighter.

[0012] Preferably, the rotating ring is provided with limit grooves on both sides, and a clamping block is fixedly provided on the positioning sleeve. When the positioning sleeve is located in the rotating ring, the clamping block is clamped in the limit groove.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning sleeve can be replaced when dealing with pipes of different cross-sections, so that the rotating ring can be matched with pipes of different shapes, thereby improving the applicability of the support components.

[0014] Preferably, the guide groove is provided with a smooth layer.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the connection between the rotating ring and the receiving plate is made smoother, and the resistance encountered by the rotating ring during rotation is reduced.

[0016] In summary, this application has the following beneficial technical effects: When the cutting device is cutting, one end of the pipe extends out of the cutting device and enters the rotating ring. The support component supports the pipe. When the pipe rotates, the rotating ring rotates along with it. The guide groove on the rotating ring rotates continuously along the guide strip on the receiving plate, so that the rotating ring can rotate in a directional manner on the receiving plate. The friction between the pipe and the rotating ring is reduced, which not only supports the pipe but also reduces the impact on the pipe due to rotation, thus improving the cutting effect of the pipe.

[0023] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] A tube support device for a laser tube cutting machine includes a worktable, an automatic feeding system, a cutting device 1, and an automatic control system. The automatic feeding system is located in the loading area of ​​the worktable, the cutting device 1 is located in the middle of the worktable, and a support platform 2 is fixedly installed in the unloading area of ​​the worktable. A support assembly is installed on the support platform 2. The support assembly includes a support frame 5 and a rotating ring 8. A receiving plate 6 is fixedly installed on the support frame 5, and a guide strip 7 is fixedly installed in the receiving plate 6. A guide groove 9 is opened on the rotating ring 8, and the guide strip 7 is slidably connected in the guide groove 9. A smooth layer is provided in the guide groove 9.

[0026] In use, the automatic feeding system feeds one end of the pipe 4 into the cutting device 1. The automatic control system controls the cutting device 1 to start cutting the pipe 4. The cut end of the pipe 4 extends out of the cutting device 1 and enters the rotating ring 8. The support component supports the extended pipe 4, so that the pipe 4 at both ends of the cutting device 1 can be kept more horizontal, avoiding the pipe 4 from tilting due to lack of support, which would affect the cutting effect of the pipe 4. During the cutting process, the pipe 4 not only moves horizontally but also rotates. The rotated pipe 4 interacts with the rotating ring 8, causing the guide groove 9 on the rotating ring 8 to start rotating along the guide bar 7. The pipe 4 and the rotating ring 8 rotate simultaneously, which reduces the friction between the two and reduces the impact on the pipe 4 due to rotation.

[0027] The support platform 2 has rotatable transmission gears 14 at both ends, and a conveyor belt 10 is fitted on the transmission gears 14 at both ends. A motor 3 is fixedly installed on the support platform 2, and the motor 3 is coaxially connected to the gears 14. The movement direction of the conveyor belt 10 is the same as the displacement direction of the pipe 4. The support assembly is fixedly connected to the conveyor belt 10. When the pipe 4 moves horizontally, the motor 3 is started, which drives the gears 14 to start rotating. The conveyor belt 10 on the gears 14 then starts to move the support assembly, so that the support assembly and the pipe 4 are displaced in the same direction. This reduces the relative movement between the pipe 4 and the support assembly, ensuring the support effect of the support assembly while reducing the friction on the pipe 4.

[0028] A positioning sleeve 11 is provided in the rotating ring 8. The positioning sleeve 11 abuts against the pipe wall of the pipe 4. Limiting grooves 12 are provided on both sides of the rotating ring 8. A clamping block 13 is fixedly provided on the positioning sleeve 11. Different shapes of positioning sleeves 11 are selected according to different cross-sections of the pipe 4, so that the fit between the rotating ring 8 and the pipe 4 is tighter. When installing the positioning sleeve 11, the clamping block 13 on the positioning sleeve 11 is clamped in the limiting groove 12 to complete the installation. The operation is simple and convenient.

[0029] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, the automatic feeding system feeds one end of the pipe 4 into the cutting device 1. The automatic control system controls the cutting device 1 to start cutting the pipe 4. The cut end of the pipe 4 extends out of the cutting device 1 and enters the rotating ring 8. The side wall of the pipe 4 presses against the positioning sleeve 11. The support assembly supports the extended pipe 4, so that the pipes 4 at both ends of the cutting device 1 can be better kept horizontal, avoiding the pipe 4 from tilting due to lack of support. When the pipe 4 moves horizontally, the motor 3 is started, so that the motor 3 drives the gear 14 to start rotating. The conveyor belt 10 on the gear 14 then starts to move the support assembly, so that the support assembly and the pipe 4 are displaced in the same direction, reducing the relative movement between the pipe 4 and the support assembly. When the pipe 4 rotates, the rotated pipe 4 interacts with the rotating ring 8, so that the guide groove 9 on the rotating ring 8 starts to rotate along the guide strip 7. The pipe 4 and the rotating ring 8 rotate at the same time, so that the friction between the two is reduced, reducing the impact of the pipe 4 due to rotation.
