Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of machining, and in particular to a multi-station cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the machining industry, cutting technology plays a vital role in many production fields. From metal processing to non-metal material processing, the application of cutting machines is ubiquitous.

[0003] Relevant existing technologies, such as the Chinese patent application "Dual-Station Four-Head Precision Cutting Machine" (application number: CN201520621283.1), disclose a machine comprising a base, a control cabinet, a left machine platform, a right machine platform, and a movable material support frame. The left and right machine platforms and the movable material support frame are located on slide rails at the top of the base. The control cabinet is located on one side of the base. The left machine platform houses the upper left and lower left machine heads, and the right machine platform houses the upper right and lower right machine heads. The right machine platform has a feeding platform at its inlet end, with several feeding rollers on the platform. The right machine platform also has a CNC mechanism. This utility model combines the structures of current precision saws and heavy-duty saws.

[0004] For example, Chinese patent application “A dual-station positioning cutting machine”, application number: CN202222508887.8, discloses a machine including a base plate, with a bracket and two upright plates fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate, and two support components on the top of the base plate. Each support component includes an electric push rod and six positioning components. The two electric push rods are fixedly mounted on the back of the two upright plates, and push plates are fixedly mounted on the telescopic ends of the two electric push rods.

[0005] Traditional cutting machines are mainly available in single-station or dual-station configurations. However, existing cutting equipment has many limitations in practical use. For example, current cutting machines are inadequate in cutting positioning and rapid switching between cutting stations, making it difficult to meet the growing demand for efficient and precise cutting. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a multi-station cutting machine that achieves efficient cutting and precise processing through the synergistic effect of multi-station design, moving device and processing module.

[0007] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a multi-station cutting machine, including a frame, on which processing modules, pressing components and station switching devices are arranged sequentially from back to front. The station switching device includes a turntable, on which multiple mounting seats are regularly arranged. The mounting seats rotate with the turntable to the processing position. A gantry frame is set above the processing position. The pressing component is mounted on the gantry frame. When the pressing component is working, it moves downward and acts on the product located at the processing position. The processing module is mounted on a moving device. When the moving device is working, it drives the processing module to move to the processing position. When the processing module is working, it processes the product at the processing position.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are as follows: First, by setting up multiple workstations, multiple mounting bases can be rotated to the processing position with the turntable, so that multiple products can be processed sequentially in a short time, which greatly improves the cutting efficiency. Compared with traditional single-station or double-station cutting machines, more products can be cut in a unit of time, meeting the needs of large-scale production and high-efficiency processing.

[0009] Secondly, the processing module is mounted on a moving device. The moving device moves the processing module to the processing position. This design can accurately align the processing module with the product at the processing position, ensuring that each cut is performed in the correct position. This effectively improves the cutting accuracy, reduces the product scrap rate caused by positional deviation, and improves the stability of product quality.

[0010] Finally, the pressing component is installed on the gantry. When the pressing component is working, it can act on the product located at the processing position, which can stably and reliably fix the product and prevent the product from deviating due to vibration, displacement and other factors during the cutting process. This further ensures the accuracy of the cutting and also helps to improve the cutting quality, making the cut surface smoother.

[0011] In this application, for ease of description, the side closer to the loading position is referred to as the front, and the side farther away from the loading position is referred to as the rear.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, the workstation switching device includes a base, a rotary motor, and a turntable. The base is fixed on the frame, the rotary motor is mounted on the base and its output shaft is connected to the turntable, and the rotary motor drives the turntable to rotate.

[0013] This system utilizes a rotary motor to drive the turntable, enabling automatic switching of workstations and improving the cutting machine's efficiency. Compared to manual workstation switching, the rotary motor drive is more precise and faster, accurately rotating the mounting base to the processing position, reducing manual intervention, minimizing time wasted due to operational errors, and improving overall production efficiency.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, a baffle is installed on the frame, the baffle is vertically arranged above the turntable, and the bottom of the baffle has two openings for the product mounted on the mounting base to pass through; the rotation of the turntable causes the mounting base to rotate into one opening and out of the other opening.

[0015] The baffle designed in this application provides a certain degree of safety protection. By installing the baffle on the frame, it effectively prevents operators from accidentally putting their hands or other body parts into the dangerous cutting area during equipment operation, reducing the risk of accidents caused by accidental contact with the cutting blade or high-speed rotating parts, and ensuring the personal safety of operators. In addition, the baffle can also block debris, sparks, and other materials generated during the cutting process from flying outwards, protecting the cleanliness and safety of the operating environment and reducing potential safety hazards caused by flying debris.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the baffle is installed on the front side of the gantry frame. Installing the baffle on the front side of the gantry frame leverages the structural stability of the gantry frame to further enhance the baffle's fixing effect, ensuring its stability even during prolonged use. This helps maintain smooth product movement in and out of the processing area, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the cutting process.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the turntable is provided with an upper / lower workpiece position and a processing position. The rotation of the turntable causes the mounting base to switch between the upper / lower workpiece position and the processing position. The upper / lower workpiece position is located in front of the processing position, and the baffle separates the upper / lower workpiece position from the processing position.

[0018] By setting up loading / unloading positions and processing positions on the turntable and separating them with baffles, different operating areas are achieved. This design facilitates the loading and unloading of products at the loading / unloading positions without interfering with the normal cutting operations at the processing positions, improving work efficiency and reducing the probability of cutting errors caused by improper operation.

[0019] In some embodiments of this application, the pressing component includes a movable plate, which is mounted on a gantry by a servo motor. The two ends of the movable plate are respectively connected to optical axes, which pass through the top of the gantry.

[0020] By employing a servo motor to drive the movable plate, combined with the guiding effect of the optical axis, high-precision and stable movement of the pressing component can be achieved. The servo motor has high control precision, accurately controlling the pressing position and force of the pressing component, while the optical axis design ensures that the movable plate does not wobble during up-and-down movement, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of cutting.

[0021] In some embodiments of this application, the pressing assembly includes a pressure member adapted to the product to be processed, the pressure member being mounted on a movable plate.

[0022] Designing clamps tailored to the shape and size of the product to be processed allows for better product fixation, preventing displacement or vibration during cutting. This customized clamp design improves cutting accuracy, reduces cutting errors caused by product loosening, and ensures cutting quality.

[0023] In some embodiments of this application, the pressing assembly includes a geared motor assembly mounted below the movable plate and connected to a machining tool.

[0024] Specifically, the machining tool in this application can be a drill bit, which can be used to further drill holes in the product at the machining location.

[0025] Introducing a geared motor assembly enables the expansion of product processing requirements, providing stable power output and appropriate speed regulation during machining. The geared motor assembly can adjust the speed according to different processing needs, ensuring that the cutting tools perform cutting operations at the appropriate speed, thereby improving processing efficiency and quality, while also helping to extend the service life of the cutting tools.

[0026] In some embodiments of this application, a waste outlet is provided on the frame, located directly below the processing position. This waste outlet on the frame facilitates the timely collection of waste generated during the cutting process. This design prevents waste from accumulating in the processing area, affecting the normal operation and cutting quality of the cutting machine, and also facilitates subsequent cleaning, improving equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0027] In some embodiments of this application, the mobile device includes an X-axis moving component, a Y-axis moving component, and a Z-axis moving component. The X-axis moving component is mounted on a frame, the Y-axis moving component is mounted on the X-axis moving component, the Z-axis moving component is mounted on the Y-axis moving component, and a processing module is mounted on the Z-axis moving component. The processing module includes a cutting blade assembly connected to a power drive component, and the power drive component drives the cutting blade assembly to work.

[0028] By incorporating lateral and Y-axis movement components, the processing module achieves flexible movement within three-dimensional space, expanding the processing range of the cutting machine. The connection between the power drive component and the cutting blade assembly ensures stable and efficient cutting operations, adapting to the cutting needs of products of different sizes and improving the equipment's versatility and applicability.

[0035] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0037] A multi-station cutting machine, as described in Embodiment 1 Figure 1 , Figure 2As shown, the machine includes a frame 1, on which, from back to front, are arranged a processing module 2, a pressing component 3, and a station switching device 4. The station switching device includes a turntable 5, on which multiple mounting seats 6 are regularly arranged. The mounting seats 6 rotate with the turntable 5 to the processing position. By setting multiple stations, the multiple mounting seats 6 can rotate with the turntable 5 to the processing position, thus enabling the sequential processing of multiple products in a short time, greatly improving cutting efficiency. Compared with traditional single-station or dual-station cutting machines, more products can be cut per unit time, meeting the needs of large-scale production and high-efficiency processing. A gantry frame 7 is set above the processing position, and the pressing component 3 is installed on the gantry frame 7. When the pressing component 3 is working, it moves downward and acts on the product located at the processing position, which can stably and reliably fix the product and prevent cutting deviations caused by vibration, displacement, and other factors during the cutting process, further ensuring the accuracy of cutting and also helping to improve cutting quality, making the cut surface smoother. The processing module 2 is mounted on the moving device 8. The moving device 8 moves the processing module 2 to the processing position, where the processing module 2 processes the product. This design allows the processing module 2 to be precisely aligned with the product at the processing position, ensuring that each cut is performed in the correct position. This effectively improves cutting accuracy, reduces product scrap rate due to positional deviation, and enhances product quality stability.

[0038] In this application, for ease of description, the side closer to the loading position is referred to as the front, and the side farther away from the loading position is referred to as the rear.

[0039] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the workstation switching device includes a base 9, a rotary motor, and a turntable 5. The base 9 is fixed on the frame 1, and the rotary motor is mounted on the base 9 with its output shaft connected to the turntable 5. The rotary motor drives the turntable 5 to rotate. This automatic workstation switching, achieved by driving the turntable 5 with the rotary motor, improves the working efficiency of the cutting machine. Compared to manual workstation switching, the rotary motor drive is more precise and faster, accurately rotating the mounting base 6 to the processing position, reducing manual intervention, minimizing time wastage due to operational errors, and improving overall production efficiency.

[0040] A baffle 11 is installed on the frame 1, vertically positioned above the turntable 5. The bottom of the baffle 11 has two openings 12 for the product mounted on the mounting base 6 to pass through. The rotation of the turntable 5 causes the mounting base 6 to rotate in through one opening 12 and out through the other. The baffle 11 designed in this application provides a certain level of safety protection. By installing the baffle 11 on the frame 1, it effectively prevents operators from accidentally inserting their hands or other body parts into the dangerous cutting area during equipment operation, reducing the risk of accidents due to accidental contact with the cutting tool or high-speed rotating parts, and ensuring the personal safety of the operators. Furthermore, the baffle 11 can also prevent debris and sparks generated during the cutting process from flying outwards, protecting the cleanliness and safety of the operating environment and reducing potential safety hazards caused by flying debris.

[0041] The baffle 11 is installed on the front side of the gantry 7. Installing the baffle 11 on the front side of the gantry 7 utilizes the structural stability of the gantry 7 to further enhance the fixing effect of the baffle 11, ensuring its stability even during prolonged use. This helps maintain the smooth flow of products into and out of the processing area, ensuring the continuity and reliability of the cutting process.

[0042] The turntable 5 is equipped with a loading / unloading position and a processing position. Rotation of the turntable 5 causes the mounting base 6 to switch between these two positions. The loading / unloading position is located in front of the processing position, and the baffle 11 separates it from the processing position. By setting the loading / unloading position and the processing position on the turntable 5 and separating them with the baffle 11, different operating areas are separated. This design facilitates loading and unloading of products at the loading / unloading position without interfering with the normal cutting operation at the processing position, improving work efficiency and reducing the probability of cutting errors due to improper operation.

[0043] The pressing component 3 includes a movable plate 13, which is mounted on the gantry 7 via a servo motor 14. Optical axes 15 are connected to both ends of the movable plate 13, passing through the top of the gantry 7. By using the servo motor 14 to drive the movable plate 13, combined with the guiding effect of the optical axes 15, high-precision and stable movement of the pressing component 3 can be achieved. The servo motor 14 has high control precision, accurately controlling the pressing position and force of the pressing component 3. Simultaneously, the design of the optical axes 15 ensures that the movable plate 13 does not wobble during its up-and-down movement, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of the cutting.

[0044] The pressing assembly 3 includes a pressure member adapted to the product to be processed, which is mounted on the movable plate 13. Designing a pressure member that adapts to the shape and size of the product allows for better fixation of the product, preventing displacement or vibration during cutting. This customized pressure member design improves cutting accuracy, reduces cutting errors caused by product loosening, and ensures cutting quality.

[0045] The frame 1 is provided with a waste outlet 17, which is located directly below the processing position. The waste outlet 17 on the frame 1 facilitates the timely collection of waste generated during the cutting process. This design prevents waste from accumulating in the processing area, affecting the normal operation of the cutting machine and the cutting quality, while also facilitating subsequent cleaning and improving equipment maintenance efficiency.

[0046] The moving device 8 includes an X-axis moving component 18, a Y-axis moving component 19, and a Z-axis moving component 20. The X-axis moving component 18 is mounted on the frame 1, the Y-axis moving component 19 is mounted on the X-axis moving component 18, and the Z-axis moving component 20 is mounted on the Y-axis moving component 19. The processing module 2 is mounted on the Z-axis moving component 20. The processing module 2 includes a cutting blade assembly connected to a power drive component 21, which drives the cutting blade assembly to operate. By setting up the transverse and Y-axis moving components 19, the processing module 2 can move flexibly in three-dimensional space, expanding the processing range of the cutting machine. The connection between the power drive component 21 and the cutting blade assembly ensures stable and efficient cutting operations, adapting to the cutting needs of products of different sizes and improving the versatility and applicability of the equipment.

[0047] The rest of the contents of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0048] Example 3, as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the other contents of Embodiment 3 are the same as those of Embodiment 2, except that the pressing component 3 includes a geared motor assembly 16, which is installed below the movable plate 13 and connected to the machining tool. Specifically, the machining tool in this application can be a drill bit to further drill holes in the product at the machining position. Introducing the geared motor assembly 16 enables the expansion of other processing requirements of the product, providing stable power output and appropriate speed adjustment during processing. The geared motor assembly 16 can adjust the speed according to different processing requirements, ensuring that the machining tool performs cutting operations at a suitable speed, thereby improving processing efficiency and quality, and also helping to extend the service life of the machining tool.

[0049] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
