Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of laser cutting machine technology and relates to a smoke exhaust device for a laser cutting machine. Background Technology
[0002] A laser cutting machine uses a laser emitted from a laser source, which is focused into a high-power-density laser beam through an optical path system. The laser beam irradiates the surface of the workpiece, causing the workpiece to reach its melting or boiling point. At the same time, high-pressure gas coaxial with the beam blows away the molten or vaporized metal. As the relative position of the beam and the workpiece moves, a kerf is eventually formed in the material, thus achieving the purpose of cutting.
[0003] Currently, a Chinese patent with publication number CN213560536U discloses a smoke extraction device for a laser cutting machine. This device effectively solves the problem that existing cutting machines generate a large amount of smoke during use, which easily affects the operator's monitoring of the processing status and reduces the overall comfort of the operator. However, in actual use, while the device conveniently extracts smoke through a pump, the movement of the cutting head during laser cutting causes the smoke generation location to change, and since the extraction point is fixed, its smoke extraction effect is poor, reducing the overall effectiveness.

An air inlet slot 13 is opened on the bottom surface of the connecting chamber 4, and an exhaust fan 17 is placed inside the connecting chamber 4.
[0025] Among them, the two connecting columns 2 are slidably connected to the two positioning slots 8 respectively, and the mounting bracket 9 is a U-shaped bracket.
[0026] Specifically, the workpiece is placed on the placement plate 1, and the workpiece is cut by the laser cutting head 10. The exhaust fan 17 is started, and the exhaust fan 17 draws the flue gas through the air inlet slot 13 and enters the interior of the connecting chamber 4. Through the sliding connection between the connecting column 2 and the positioning slot 8, the connecting chamber 4 is moved left and right.
[0027] It should be noted that the laser cutting head 10 and the exhaust fan 17 are conventional devices known to the public in the prior art, and their specific structures and working principles will not be described in detail in this article.
[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the placement plate 1 is provided with a drive assembly for moving the connecting post 2. The drive assembly includes a drive motor 11, which is fixedly installed on the left side of the placement plate 1. The output shaft of the drive motor 11 is fixedly connected to a screw 7 that passes through the placement plate 1 and extends into the front positioning groove 8. The screw 7 passes through the front connecting post 2. The top surfaces of the two connecting posts 2 are provided with mounting grooves 12. Electric push rods 22 are fixedly installed inside the two mounting grooves 12. The output ends of the two electric push rods 22 are fixedly connected to the two moving posts 3 respectively. The opposite sides of the two connecting posts 2 are provided with wire holes 23.
[0029] The screw 7 is rotatably connected to the placement plate 1 and the front positioning groove 8 through two bearings respectively. The wire hole 23 is connected to the mounting groove 12. A threaded hole is opened on the left side of the connecting column 2 on the front. The screw 7 passes through the threaded hole and is threadedly connected to it.
[0030] Specifically, the electric push rod 22 is activated, and the output end of the electric push rod 22 drives the moving column 3 to move upward, thereby adjusting the height of the laser cutting head 10. The drive motor 11 is activated, and the output shaft of the drive motor 11 drives the screw 7 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the screw 7 and the front connecting column 2, the screw 7 drives the connecting chamber 4 to move through the connecting column 2.
[0031] It should be noted that the electric actuator 22 is a conventional device known in the prior art, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here. This application can ensure that the output ends of the two electric actuators 22 extend and retract simultaneously by using a synchronization controller or other synchronization device, thereby achieving synchronous operation. These synchronization devices are common and mature in the field of electric control, so they will not be described in detail in the specific embodiments.
[0032] Please see Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the connecting chamber 4 is provided with a filter assembly for filtering flue gas. The filter assembly includes a sealing plate 5, which is placed inside the connecting chamber 4. Two connecting plates 16 are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the sealing plate 5, with one end extending into the interior of the connecting chamber 4.

Baffles 19 are fixedly connected to the left and right inner walls of the connecting chamber 4. Positioning rods 20 are fixedly connected to the top surface of the two baffles 19. Two positioning holes 21 are opened on the bottom surface of the sealing plate 5. The positioning rods 20 extend into the interior of the positioning holes 21. A filter screen 14 is fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 16. An activated carbon filter layer 15 is fixedly connected between the two connecting plates 16.
[0033] The connecting chamber 4 is a cuboid with a hollow interior and a missing top surface. The bottom surface of the sealing plate 5 and the top surface of the baffle 19 are attached. The positioning rod 20 and the positioning hole 21 are fitted together with a clearance. The activated carbon filter layer 15 is located between the filter screen 14 and the exhaust fan 17. The top surface of the filter screen 14 and the bottom surface of the activated carbon filter layer 15 are attached together.
[0034] Specifically, the sealing plate 5 is pushed into the interior of the connecting chamber 4, where it fits against the baffle 19. The positioning rod 20 is inserted into the positioning hole 21, and the sealing plate 5 is restricted by the gap between the positioning rod 20 and the positioning hole 21. The filter is then filtered through the filter screen 14 and the activated carbon filter layer 15.
[0035] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:
[0036] Push the sealing plate 5 into the interior of the connecting chamber 4. The sealing plate 5 and the baffle 19 fit together. The positioning rod 20 is inserted into the positioning hole 21 to restrict the sealing plate 5. Start the electric push rod 22. The output end of the electric push rod 22 drives the moving column 3 to move upward, thereby adjusting the height of the laser cutting head 10. The workpiece is placed on the placement plate 1 and cut by the laser cutting head 10. Start the exhaust fan 17 to draw the flue gas. The flue gas passes through the air inlet slot 13 and enters the interior of the connecting chamber 4. It is filtered by the filter screen 14 and the activated carbon filter layer 15. The filtered flue gas passes through the air outlet slot 18 and exits the connecting chamber 4. Start the drive motor 11 to drive the screw 7 to rotate. Through the threaded connection between the screw 7 and the front connecting column 2 and the sliding connection between the connecting column 2 and the positioning slot 8, the screw 7 drives the connecting chamber 4 to move through the connecting column 2, causing the connecting chamber 4 to move left and right.

Any method that can achieve its beneficial effect can be implemented. In addition, the electrical components in this embodiment are all electrically connected to the main controller and the power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that plays a control role. Those skilled in the art can control the electrical components through simple programming. Moreover, the existing disclosed power connection technology is also common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the specific structural composition and working principle will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
