Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of laser cutting technology, specifically an automatic laser cutting device for metal round tubes and square tubes. Background Technology

[0002] In the laser cutting process of metal round and square tubes, the clamping mechanism presents significant shortcomings. Most clamping devices on the market are designed for either round or square tubes, resulting in poor versatility. Clamping devices designed for round tubes typically employ curved jaws or V-grooves, utilizing the tube's circular outline for a close fit. However, this structure is ineffective with square tubes due to their sharp edges and flat surfaces, leading to unstable clamping. Clamping devices suitable for square tubes often use flat pressure plates or right-angle clamps, which can securely hold the square tube's surfaces and edges, but struggle to effectively constrain round tubes, making them prone to rolling and shifting during cutting. Therefore, when processing both round and square tubes simultaneously, companies must frequently change clamping devices, increasing equipment setup time, reducing production efficiency, and raising equipment procurement and maintenance costs.

[0003] Furthermore, even clamping devices specifically designed for round or square tubes suffer from insecure clamping. During laser cutting, the tube is affected by the thermal force of the laser and the vibrations generated during cutting. Some clamping devices, due to insufficient clamping force or unreasonable clamping methods, struggle to maintain stable fixation of the tube during prolonged cutting operations. For example, some devices relying on simple spring force experience a decrease in clamping force as the spring elasticity weakens over time. Clamping methods using single-point or a few contact points are ineffective at limiting tube movement caused by thermal deformation, leading to a significant decrease in cutting accuracy and, in severe cases, even causing the tube to be scrapped, impacting production progress and product quality.

[0004] In conclusion, developing a universally applicable and stable clamping device for both round and square metal tubes, addressing the shortcomings of existing laser cutting equipment in tube clamping, is of great significance for improving the efficiency, precision, and reliability of laser cutting of metal tubes and promoting high-quality development of the manufacturing industry.
