However, this application is not limited to these embodiments. In the following description, specific details such as particular configurations and components are provided merely to aid in a comprehensive understanding of the embodiments of this application. Therefore, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope of protection of this application. Furthermore, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of known functions and structures have been omitted.
[0033] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.
[0034] It should be understood that some extra-long products exist on the market, such as air ducts for buses. Current waterjet cutting equipment is ill-suited for processing these extra-long products. Therefore, this application provides a waterjet cutting device to accommodate the processing of extra-long products, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a waterjet cutting device, which includes a frame 10, a first lifting door assembly 20a, a second lifting door assembly 20b, a first moving assembly 30a, and a second moving assembly 30b. The frame 10 is elongated and has a top structure 11 and a bottom structure 12, forming a processing space 13 between the top structure 11 and the bottom structure 12. The first lifting door assembly 20a is mounted between the top structure 11 and the bottom structure 12 of the frame 10 and is located on the first side of the processing space 13, capable of raising and lowering to open or close the processing space 13. The second lifting door assembly 20b is mounted between the top structure 11 and the bottom structure 12 of the frame 10 and is located on the second side of the processing space 13, also capable of raising and lowering to open or close the processing space 13. The first moving assembly 30a is mounted on the bottom structure 12 and arranged on the first side of the processing space 13, capable of loading a workpiece W and allowing it to enter or exit the processing space 13 through the first lifting door assembly 20a. The second moving component 30b is mounted on the bottom structure 12 and arranged on the second side of the processing space 13. It is capable of loading workpiece W and allowing it to enter or exit the processing space 13 through the second lifting door assembly 20b from the second side of the processing space 13. The waterjet cutting assembly includes a high-pressure pump 42 and multiple waterjet cutting manipulators 41, which are arranged along the length of the frame 10 within the processing space 13. In this embodiment, the high-pressure pump 42 is arranged on the top structure 11, resulting in a more compact structure.
[0036] The frame 10 is configured as a long strip structure, and its internal processing space 13 is also correspondingly long strip-shaped to accommodate extra-long products. A first lifting door assembly 20a and a second lifting door assembly 20b are respectively arranged on both sides of the processing space 13 for raising and lowering to open or close the processing space 13. During processing, the first lifting door assembly 20a and the second lifting door assembly 20b are adjusted to the closed state to close the processing space 13, and multiple waterjet cutting robots 41 in the processing space 13 perform waterjet cutting on the product.
[0037] The first moving component 30a is arranged on the first side of the processing space 13. During operation, the first moving component 30a first loads a workpiece, and the first lifting door component 20a on the first side of the processing space 13 opens. The workpiece loaded by the first moving component 30a passes through the first lifting door component 20a and enters the processing space 13 from the first side. After the workpiece has completely entered the processing space 13, the first lifting door component 20a closes, and multiple waterjet cutting robots 41 within the processing space 13 perform waterjet cutting on the workpiece. After processing is completed, the first lifting door component 20a opens, and the workpiece loaded by the first moving component 30a exits from inside the processing space 13 to the first side of the processing space 13.
[0038] The second moving assembly 30b is arranged on the second side of the processing space 13. During operation, firstly, the second moving assembly 30b loads the workpiece, and the second lifting door assembly 20b on the second side of the processing space 13 opens. The workpiece loaded by the second moving assembly 30b passes through the second lifting door assembly 20b and enters the processing space 13 from the second side. After the workpiece has completely entered the processing space 13, the second lifting door assembly 20b closes, and multiple waterjet cutting robots 41 within the processing space 13 perform waterjet cutting on the workpiece. After processing is completed, the second lifting door assembly 20b opens, and the workpiece loaded by the second moving assembly 30b exits from inside the processing space 13 to the second side of the processing space 13.
[0039] The first moving component 30a and the second moving component 30b can operate alternately, respectively feeding workpieces into the processing space 13 from both sides of the processing space 13 for waterjet cutting, which can improve the utilization rate and processing efficiency of the equipment.
[0040] refer to Figures 2-4In one embodiment of this application, a plurality of guide rails 14 are arranged along the length of the frame 10, and the plurality of guide rails 14 extend laterally. The first moving assembly 30a includes a first moving frame 31a and a first driving element 32a; the first moving frame 31a is used to load workpieces; the first moving frame 31a is supported on the plurality of guide rails 14 and can move laterally along the plurality of guide rails 14; the first driving element 32a is used to drive the first moving frame 31a to move, thereby enabling entry into or exit from the first side of the processing space 13. The second moving assembly 30b includes a second moving frame 31b and a second driving element 32b; the second moving frame 31b is used to load workpieces; the second moving frame 31b is supported on the plurality of guide rails 14 and can move laterally along the plurality of guide rails 14; the second driving element 32b is used to drive the second moving frame 31b to move, thereby enabling entry into or exit from the second side of the processing space 13. In one specific embodiment, both the bottom of the first movable frame 31a and the second movable frame 31b are equipped with rollers 33, which allow them to move along the guide rail 14. In another specific embodiment, both the first driving element 32a and the second driving element 32b are rodless cylinders.
[0041] During operation, for the first side of the processing space 13, a workpiece is first loaded onto the first moving frame 31a. The first lifting door assembly 20a opens, and the first drive element 32a drives the first moving frame 31a to move laterally along the guide rail 14 into the processing space 13. After the workpiece has fully entered the processing space 13, the first lifting door assembly 20a closes, and multiple waterjet cutting robots 41 within the processing space 13 perform waterjet cutting on the workpiece. After processing is completed, the first lifting door assembly 20a opens, and the first drive element 32a drives the first moving frame 31a to move laterally along the guide rail 14 to exit from inside the processing space 13 to the first side of the processing space 13. For the second side of the processing space 13, a workpiece is first loaded onto the second moving frame 31b. The second lifting door assembly 20b opens, and the second drive element 32b drives the second moving frame 31b to move laterally along the guide rail 14 into the processing space 13. After the workpiece has fully entered the processing space 13, the second lifting door assembly 20b closes, and multiple waterjet cutting robots 41 within the processing space 13 perform waterjet cutting on the workpiece. After processing is completed, the second lifting door assembly 20b opens, and the second drive element 32b drives the second moving frame 31b to move laterally along the guide rail 14 to exit from inside the processing space 13 to the second side of the processing space 13. In this way, the first moving frame 31a and the second moving frame 31b on both sides can alternately feed the workpiece into the processing space 13 for waterjet cutting.
[0042] refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5Both the first lifting door assembly 20a and the second lifting door assembly 20b include a lifting door plate 21 and a third drive element 22. The lifting door plate 21 is mounted on the frame 10 and can slide up and down; the third drive element 22 drives the lifting door plate 21 to move up and down to open or close. The third drive element 22 can be configured as a rodless cylinder. Figure 2 In the structure shown, the third drive element 22 drives the lifting door plate 21 to rise to open the processing space 13, and drives the lifting door plate 21 to fall to close the processing space 13.
[0043] Furthermore, the first lifting door assembly 20a and the second lifting door assembly 20b also include a counterweight unit; the counterweight unit includes a pull rope 24, a counterweight 25, and a guide pulley 26. The guide pulley 26 is mounted on the frame 10; the pull rope 24 passes around the guide pulley 26, with one end connected to the upper end of the lifting door panel 21 and the other end connected to the counterweight 25, so that the lifting door panel 21 and the counterweight 25 are suspended on the guide pulley 26. In a specific technical solution, the counterweight 25 is arranged at both ends of the frame 10.
[0044] Specifically, the lifting door panel 21 is used to open or close the processing space 13. A counterweight 25 applies an upward pulling force to the lifting door panel 21 via a pull rope 24. This pulling force can counteract at least part of the weight load of the lifting door panel 21. The pull rope 24 passes over a guide pulley 26, and its two ends are connected to the lifting door panel 21 and the counterweight 25 respectively. Therefore, the lifting door panel 21 and the counterweight 25 move in opposite directions; when the third drive element 22 drives the lifting door panel 21 to rise, the counterweight 25 descends; when the third drive element 22 drives the lifting door panel 21 to descend, the counterweight 25 rises. The counterweight unit uses the counterweight 25 to balance the weight load of the lifting door panel 21, allowing the third drive element 22 to drive the lifting door panel 21 to rise and fall more smoothly to open or close, effectively avoiding damage to the door caused by imbalance, improving safety performance, and reducing noise levels.
[0045] Furthermore, vertical guide columns 15 are arranged at both ends of the frame 10, and the counterweight 25 is mounted on the guide columns and limited to vertical movement by the guide columns. The vertical guide columns 15 can be used to guide and limit the up and down sliding of the counterweight 25, avoiding swaying and making the operation more stable.
[0046] In one embodiment of this application, the waterjet cutting equipment is further equipped with multiple emergency stop switches, which are arranged in different locations. Arranging emergency stop switches in multiple locations can improve safety.
[0047] In summary, this application provides a waterjet cutting device with a long, narrow frame. A first lifting door assembly and a first moving assembly are arranged on the first side of the frame, and a second lifting door assembly and a second moving assembly are arranged on the second side of the frame. On one hand, the long, narrow frame is suitable for processing long products, resulting in high space utilization. On the other hand, when processing long products, the lifting door assemblies and moving assemblies on both sides of the frame can alternately load and unload materials, leading to higher efficiency.
