A follow-up support and plate turning blanking linkage device of a laser pipe cutting machine

Abstract

A follow-up support and flip-plate unloading linkage device for a laser tube cutting machine includes a base. The base is equipped with a vertical linear guide mechanism and a drive mechanism. The linear guide mechanism includes a lifting seat. The drive mechanism drives the lifting seat to move vertically up and down. A receiving flip plate is located on the top of the lifting seat. One end of the receiving flip plate is hinged to the lifting seat, and the other end is free. The base also includes a flipping drive assembly. When the lifting seat descends to the height of the flipping drive assembly, the flipping drive assembly provides a flipping torque to the receiving flip plate. The receiving flip plate includes a horizontal position that provides support force to the workpiece during cutting and a certain angle that flips around the hinge axis under the action of the flipping torque to guide the workpiece to the unloading position of the next station. This invention uses a cam mechanism or lever mechanism of the flipping drive assembly to complete the linkage action of follow-up receiving and flipping unloading through vertical driving force, thereby improving efficiency and saving costs.
