[0031] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0032] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention illustrates an embodiment of a visual positioning edge-following cutting machine for printed materials, comprising a bed 1 and a cutting mechanism 2 spanning the upper left and right sides of the bed 1, as well as two columns 3 disposed on the left and right sides of the bed 1 and a first crossbeam 4 disposed on the upper ends of the two columns 3. A supplementary light plate 5 is disposed on both the front and rear sides of the first crossbeam 4, and a supplementary light lamp 6 is disposed on the bottom surface of the supplementary light plate 5. An industrial camera 7 is disposed at the bottom of the first crossbeam 4, with the lens of the industrial camera 7 facing the top surface of the bed 1, for photographing the pattern of the printed material on the bed 1, facilitating accurate automatic edge-following cutting by the cutting mechanism 2.

[0033] Specifically, see Figure 4In the illustrated embodiment, a first rack 8 and a first slide rail 9 are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the bed 1. The left and right ends of the cutting mechanism 2 are respectively engaged with the first rack 8 and slidably cooperated with the first slide rail 9.

[0034] Specifically, see Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting mechanism 2 includes a second crossbeam 210, two drive mechanisms 220 disposed on the left and right sides of the second crossbeam 210, and a cutting head 230 disposed on the upper end of the second crossbeam 210.

[0035] More specifically, see Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, each drive mechanism 220 includes a first motor bracket 221, which is fixedly connected to the second crossbeam 210. A first motor 222 and a first slider 223 are connected to the first motor bracket 221. The output end of the first motor 222 is connected to a first gear 224, which meshes with a first rack 8 disposed on the bed 1. The first slider 223 slides with a first slide rail 9 disposed on the bed 1. Each drive mechanism 220 and the bed 1 are driven by the meshing of the rack and gear, which makes the cutting mechanism 2 move more smoothly on the bed 1 and the position positioning movement more accurate, which helps to improve the progress of the cutting head 230 in cutting the printing material.

[0036] For more details, please continue reading. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, a second rack 211 that meshes with the cutting head 230 is provided at the top of the second crossbeam 210, and two second slide rails 212 that slide with the cutting head 230 are provided on the front side of the second crossbeam 210. The meshing transmission between the cutting head 230 and the second crossbeam 210 via the rack and gear enables the cutting head 230 to move more smoothly from side to side and to move more accurately in position.

[0037] For more details, please continue reading. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the cutting head 230 includes a second motor bracket 231, on which a second motor (not shown) and a second slider 232 are connected. The output end of the second motor is connected to a second gear (not shown), which meshes with a second rack 211 disposed on the top of the second crossbeam 210. The second slider 232 slides in cooperation with two second slide rails 212 disposed on the front side of the second crossbeam 210.

[0038] More specifically, please refer to 3. In order to meet different cutting needs and avoid frequent blade changes, in the illustrated embodiment, the second motor bracket 231 is also provided with multiple cutting heads 233 (such as vibrating blades, circular blades, bevel cutting blades, punching blades, etc.). Different cutting heads 233 can be used to perform corresponding cutting for different cutting needs.

[0039] For more details, please continue reading. Figure 3 In order to control the travel of the cutting head 230 on the second crossbeam 210 and improve the reliability of the cutting head 230, in the illustrated embodiment, anti-collision blocks 213 are respectively provided at the left and right ends of the top of the second crossbeam 210.

[0040] For more details, please continue reading. Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the axial direction of the output end of the first motor 222 is parallel to the length direction of the second crossbeam 210.

[0041] More specifically, in the illustrated embodiment, the axial direction of the second motor output is perpendicular to the length direction of the second crossbeam 210.

[0042] For more details, please continue reading. Figure 4 and Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, a first cable chain box 10 is fixedly installed on both the left and right sides of the upper end of the bed 1. A first cable chain 11 is provided at the rear end of the two drive mechanisms 220, and one end of the first cable chain 11 is connected to the first cable chain box 10, and the other end is connected to the drive mechanism 220. A second cable chain box 214 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the second crossbeam 210, and a second cable chain 215 is provided at the rear end of the cutting head 230, and one end of the second cable chain 215 is connected to the second cable chain box 214, and the other end is connected to the cutting head 230.

[0043] For details, please continue reading Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, a vacuum adsorption table 12 is fixedly installed on the top of the bed 1 for adsorbing the printing material to be cut, and the vacuum adsorption table 12 is located directly below the cutting head 230 and the industrial camera 7, so that the cutting head 230 can cut the printing material and the industrial camera 7 can photograph the printing pattern on the printing material.

[0044] For details, please continue reading Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, a controller 13 is installed at the front end of the bed 1, and the controller 13 is electrically connected to the cutting mechanism 2, the supplementary light 6 and the industrial camera 7 respectively, for controlling the cutting mechanism 2 to perform automatic edge-following cutting operations, the supplementary light 6 to provide illumination and the industrial camera 7 to take pictures.

[0045] The working principle of the visual positioning and edge-tracing cutting machine for printed materials provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0046] In use, the bed 1 is first placed on a level surface. Then, the supplementary light 6 and industrial camera 7 are mounted directly above the bed 1 via the column 3, the first crossbeam 4, and the supplementary light plate 5. Next, the printing material to be cut is placed on the vacuum adsorption table 12. Then, the controller 13 is started, which causes the cutting mechanism 2, the supplementary light 6, and the industrial camera 7 to start working. Specifically, the cutting mechanism 2 is driven by the first motor 222 to rotate the first gear 224, which causes the cutting mechanism 2 to move on the first slide rail 9 via the first slider 223, thereby driving the second crossbeam 210 to move on the vacuum adsorption table 12. The second motor drives the second gear to rotate, which causes the cutting head 230 to move on the second slide rail 212 via the second slider 232. The supplementary light 6 provides images to the industrial camera 7 through the supplementary light plate 5. The industrial camera 7 forms an automatic vision recognition system, which automatically recognizes and accurately photographs the pattern of the printing material placed on the vacuum adsorption table 12. Then, the cutting mechanism 2 is controlled to automatically track the edge and quickly position for cutting.

[0047] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
