Detailed Implementation
[0027] The following are specific embodiments of this application, described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, to further illustrate the technical solutions of this application. 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.
[0028] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the embodiments and features described in this application can be combined with each other.
[0029] It should be understood that, in order to accommodate the processing of large-sized products, the processing chambers of some waterjet cutting equipment have very large spans, and the size of the door panels in the processing chambers also increases accordingly, resulting in a significant increase in the weight of the door panels. This makes it difficult for the door panels to maintain balance and stability when opening and closing, and also generates considerable noise. Therefore, this application provides a lifting door system for waterjet cutting equipment. The lifting door system for waterjet cutting equipment provided in this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0030] refer to Figures 1-3The lifting gate system for waterjet cutting equipment includes a frame 10, a lifting gate panel 20, a drive unit 30, and several counterweight units 40. Each counterweight unit 40 includes a pull rope 41, a counterweight 42, and a guide pulley 43. The guide pulley 43 is mounted on the frame 10. The pull rope 41 passes around the guide pulley 43, with one end connected to the upper end of the lifting gate panel 20 and the other end connected to the counterweight 42, so that the lifting gate panel 20 and the counterweight 42 are suspended on the guide pulley 43. The drive unit 30 can drive the lifting gate panel 20 to lift and lower to open or close.
[0031] The pull rope 41 passes over the guide pulley 43 and connects the lifting door panel 20 and the counterweight 42. During the operation of the lifting door panel 20, the pull rope 41 can pull the guide pulley 43 to rotate. In one specific embodiment, the pull rope 41 is a steel wire rope.
[0032] The lifting door panel 20 is used to open or close the processing room 12. A counterweight 42 applies an upward pulling force to the lifting door panel 20 via a pull rope 41. This pulling force can counteract at least part of the weight load of the lifting door panel 20. The pull rope 41 passes over a guide pulley 43, and its two ends are connected to the lifting door panel 20 and the counterweight 42 respectively. Therefore, the lifting door panel 20 and the counterweight 42 move in opposite directions; when the drive device 30 drives the lifting door panel 20 to rise, the counterweight 42 descends; when the drive device 30 drives the lifting door panel 20 to descend, the counterweight 42 rises. The counterweight unit 40 uses the counterweight 42 to balance the weight load of the lifting door panel 20, allowing the drive device 30 to drive the lifting door panel 20 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.
[0033] In one embodiment of this application, a vertical guide rail 11 is provided on the frame 10, and the counterweight 42 is slidably mounted on the vertical guide rail 11. The vertical guide rail 11 can be used to guide and limit the up and down sliding of the counterweight 42, avoiding shaking and making the operation more stable.
[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the drive device 30 is configured as a rodless cylinder, which is vertically arranged on the side of the lifting door panel 20 and connected to the lifting door panel 20. The rodless cylinder is a cylinder that uses a piston to directly or indirectly connect to the lifting door panel and makes the lifting door panel reciprocate following the piston. Using a rodless cylinder as the drive device can effectively reduce space occupation and make the structure more compact.
[0035] refer to Figure 4In one embodiment of this application, the lifting gate system for waterjet cutting equipment includes a first counterweight unit 40a and a second counterweight unit 40b, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the middle dividing line of the lifting gate panel 20. The first counterweight unit 40a and the second counterweight unit 40b are used to balance the gravity load on the left and right sides of the lifting gate panel 20, so as to maintain the balance on both sides of the middle dividing line of the lifting gate panel and make the lifting gate panel more balanced during operation.
[0036] It should be understood that when the lateral dimension of the door panel is very large, the weight of the door panel will increase significantly, and since the weight load is distributed across the entire lateral dimension, it is easy to cause left-right imbalance. In this embodiment, the first counterweight unit 40a and the second counterweight unit 40b are used to balance the gravity load on the left and right sides of the lifting door panel 20, respectively, so that the lifting door panel is more balanced in terms of force and runs more smoothly.
[0037] In one embodiment of this application, the first counterweight unit 40a includes a counterweight 42, multiple pull ropes 41, and several guide pulleys 43. For the first counterweight unit 40a, the first ends of the multiple pull ropes 41 are used to connect to the counterweight 42; the second ends of the multiple pull ropes 41 are all connected to the lifting door panel 20, and the connection positions are distributed at intervals at different lateral positions of the lifting door panel 20; each tensioning unit is equipped with several guide pulleys 43. For the first counterweight unit 40a, the counterweight 42 is connected to different lateral positions on the lifting door panel 20 through multiple pull ropes 41, so that the tension applied by the counterweight 42 to the lifting door panel 20 is more evenly distributed along the lateral length of the lifting door panel 20, which makes the lifting door panel more balanced during operation.
[0038] In one embodiment of this application, the second counterweight unit 40b includes a counterweight 42, multiple pull ropes 41, and several guide pulleys 43. For the second counterweight unit 40b, the first ends of the multiple pull ropes 41 are used to connect to the counterweight 42; the second ends of the multiple pull ropes 41 are all connected to the lifting door panel 20, and the connection positions are distributed at intervals at different lateral positions of the lifting door panel 20; several guide pulleys 43 are provided for each tensioning position. For the second counterweight unit 40b, the counterweight 42 is connected to different lateral positions on the lifting door panel 20 through multiple pull ropes 41, so that the tension applied by the counterweight 42 to the lifting door panel 20 is more evenly distributed along the lateral length of the lifting door panel 20, which makes the lifting door panel more balanced during operation.
[0039] In summary, the first counterweight unit 40a and the second counterweight unit 40b are respectively arranged on both sides of the middle dividing line of the lifting door panel 20. For both the first counterweight unit 40a and the second counterweight unit 40b, the first ends of multiple pull ropes 41 are used to connect to the counterweight 42; the second ends of the multiple pull ropes 41 are all connected to the lifting door panel 20, and the connection positions are distributed at intervals at different lateral positions of the lifting door panel 20. The above arrangement makes the pulling force applied to the lifting door panel 20 by the counterweight 42 of the first counterweight unit 40a and the counterweight 42 of the second counterweight unit 40b more evenly distributed along the lateral length of the lifting door panel 20.
[0040] Furthermore, the counterweight 42 of the first counterweight unit 40a and the counterweight 42 of the second counterweight unit 40b are respectively disposed at both ends of the lifting door panel 20. (Reference) Figure 2 , Figure 2 The counterweight 42 shown is arranged at one end of the lifting door panel 20, on the side of the processing room 12.
[0041] In one embodiment of this application, the first counterweight unit 40a and the second counterweight unit 40b further include a connecting rope 44. (See reference...) Figure 3 For the first counterweight unit 40a, a connecting rope 44 is provided between the first ends of the multiple pull ropes 41 and the counterweight 42; the first end of the connecting rope 44 is connected to the first ends of the multiple pull ropes 41, and the second end of the connecting rope 44 is connected to the counterweight 42. Figure 3 In the structure shown, on the side near the counterweight 42, the first ends of multiple pull ropes 41 converge and connect to the first end of the connecting rope 44, converging the tension onto the connecting rope 44, and applying it to the counterweight 42 from the second end of the connecting rope 44.
[0042] refer to Figure 3 For the second counterweight unit 40b, a connecting rope 44 is also provided between the first ends of the multiple pull ropes 41 and the counterweight 42; the first end of the connecting rope 44 is connected to the first ends of the multiple pull ropes 41, and the second end of the connecting rope 44 is connected to the counterweight. Figure 3 In the structure shown, on the side near the counterweight 42, the first ends of multiple pull ropes 41 converge and connect to the first end of the connecting rope 44, converging the tension onto the connecting rope 44, and applying it to the counterweight 42 from the second end of the connecting rope 44.
[0043] It should be understood that the first counterweight unit 40a and the second counterweight unit 40b have the same structure. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The counterweight unit 40 shown can represent the first counterweight unit 40a and the second counterweight unit 40b.
[0044] refer to Figures 1-4This application also provides a waterjet cutting device, which includes a processing chamber 12, a cutting robot 50, and a lifting door system for the waterjet cutting device. The cutting robot 50 is located inside the processing chamber 12; the lifting door panel 20 of the lifting door system for the waterjet cutting device can open or close the processing chamber 12.
[0045] When the water jet cutting equipment is processing a workpiece, the drive device 30 first drives the lifting door 20 to open, and the workpiece to be processed enters the processing chamber 12. After the workpiece enters the processing chamber 12, the drive device 30 drives the lifting door 20 to close. At this time, the cutting robot 50 can perform water jet cutting on the workpiece in the processing chamber 12.
[0046] refer to Figure 1 In one embodiment of this application, the waterjet cutting equipment has two sets of lifting door systems, with the lifting door panels 20 of the two systems respectively arranged on both sides of the processing chamber 12. This allows both sides of the processing chamber 12 to be used for feeding or discharging materials, making it more convenient and efficient. Furthermore, a loading platform 70 is arranged on the exterior of both sides of the processing chamber 12. The waterjet cutting equipment also includes a moving mechanism 60 for moving workpieces between the loading platform 70 and the processing chamber 12.
[0047] In summary, the lifting gate system for waterjet cutting equipment provided in this application includes a counterweight unit on the lifting gate panel. The lifting gate panel is connected to the counterweight via a pull rope, which passes over a guide pulley, suspending the lifting gate panel and the counterweight on the guide pulley. This application's technical solution utilizes a counterweight to balance the weight load of the lifting gate panel, allowing the drive device to more smoothly drive the lifting gate panel to open or close, effectively preventing damage to the gate caused by imbalance, improving safety performance, and reducing noise levels. Furthermore, this application also provides a waterjet cutting device incorporating the aforementioned lifting gate system.
