[0022] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model discloses an adjustable four-column gantry cutting machine, comprising: a base 1 and a PLC controller 15. Four pillars 2 are fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, symmetrically distributed at the four corners of the top of the base 1. Each pillar 2 is an electro-hydraulic rod. A crossbeam 3 is fixedly connected to the top of each pillar 2. When the pillars 2 are activated, the height of the crossbeam 3 can be adjusted. A level 4 is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the crossbeam 3 to monitor whether the crossbeam 3 remains level. A cutting head 5 is movably connected to the bottom of the crossbeam 3, moving on the crossbeam 3 and cutting below. The bottom of the crossbeam 3 is fixedly connected to... There are side infrared ranging sensors 6 and inner infrared ranging sensors 7. The side infrared ranging sensor 6 is used to monitor the distance between the crossbeam 3 and the machine base 1, so as to facilitate the cutting head 5 to cut materials of different heights. The machine base 1 is equipped with a worktable 8. The worktable 8 has a fixed device to fix the materials placed on the worktable 8 for easy cutting. Gear shafts 9 are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the worktable 8. A rack 13 meshes with the bottom of the gear shaft 9. An electric push rod 14 is fixedly connected to the front side wall of the rack 13. Side holes 10 are provided on the left and right side walls inside the machine base 1. The machine base 1 is equipped with an inner hole 11 and a bottom groove 12.

[0024] There are two of each of the side holes 10, inner holes 11, and bottom grooves 12, which are symmetrically distributed inside the machine base 1. The bottom groove 12 is located below the inner hole 11. There are two of each of the gear shaft 9, rack 13, and electric push rod 14, which are symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides of the worktable 8. The gear shaft 9 is located inside the inner hole 11 and the side holes 10. The rack 13 and the electric push rod 14 are located inside the bottom groove 12. The rack 13 is slidably connected to the machine base 1. The end of the electric push rod 14 away from the rack 13 is fixedly connected to the machine base 1. When the electric push rod 14 is activated, it can push the rack 13 to slide in the bottom groove 12, thereby driving the upper gear shaft 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the worktable 8 to tilt.

[0025] There are two side infrared ranging sensors 6, symmetrically distributed below the crossbeam 3. There are four inner infrared ranging sensors 7, symmetrically distributed at the bottom of the crossbeam 3. The inner infrared ranging sensors 7 are all located above the worktable 8. The inner infrared ranging sensors 7 can monitor the distance from the crossbeam 3 to the upper surface of the worktable 8. When the worktable 8 rotates at an angle, the inner infrared ranging sensors 7 measure the distance between the front and rear ends of the worktable 8, so as to accurately adjust the rotation angle of the worktable 8 to adapt to different processing requirements. The support column 2, the cutting head 5, the side infrared ranging sensors 6, the inner infrared ranging sensors 7 and the electric push rod 14 are all electrically connected to the PLC controller 15. The PLC controller 15 can control the operation of each component in an orderly manner.

[0026] Working principle: When placing the machine, the support column 2 can be activated. By adjusting the support columns 2 at the four corners and combining them with the level 4, the crossbeam 3 can be kept horizontal, thus avoiding repeated manual adjustments and improving the convenience of installation. The material is placed on the worktable 8 and fixed by the fixed clamps on the worktable 8. Then, the cutting head 5 is activated to cut the material below. When the electric push rod 14 is activated, the rack 13 can be pushed to slide in the bottom groove 12, thereby driving the upper gear shaft 9 to rotate, which in turn causes the worktable 8 to tilt. When the worktable 8 tilts, the inner infrared distance sensor 7 measures the undulation distance at the front and rear ends of the worktable 8, thereby measuring the rotation angle of the worktable 8, thus completing the precise adjustment of the angle of the worktable 8 to adapt to different processing requirements.

[0027] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
