Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of manifold processing technology, and in particular to a manifold cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] Manifolds are components in fluid transmission and distribution systems, widely used in new energy, chemical, refrigeration, and air conditioning fields. Their core function is to collect or distribute fluids from multiple branch pipelines to different paths, achieving centralized control and diversion management of the fluids. The processing accuracy of manifolds directly affects fluid transmission efficiency and system stability. Therefore, high requirements are placed on their cutting length, pipe diameter accuracy, and surface quality. With the increasing demand for equipment integration and miniaturization in various industries, the specifications and types of manifolds are increasing, placing higher demands on the processing efficiency, accuracy, and adaptability of their cutting equipment.

[0003] Currently, most manifold cutting equipment on the market adopts a single-specification, single-station cutting mode. Some equipment uses a fixed tool or cutting mechanism to cut the manifold in one go after manual feeding. Although this method can meet the basic cutting accuracy requirements and avoid the accumulation of errors caused by frequent adjustment of equipment parameters to a certain extent, it can ensure the processing quality of a single manifold. However, its operation relies on manual intervention and manual switching of equipment parameters. Operators change the cutting mold and adjust the cutting depth and speed according to the manifold specifications, and can only process one specification of product at a time.

[0004] When processing manifolds of different diameters or lengths, operators must stop the machine, disassemble the existing tooling fixtures, replace the corresponding molds, and recalibrate the cutting parameters. This single-threaded operation mode results in long idle times and poor production continuity. Especially with a surge in small-batch, multi-specification orders, frequent mold changes and adjustments significantly reduce production efficiency, extending delivery cycles and increasing labor costs and equipment energy consumption. This fails to meet the demands of modern manufacturing for flexible and efficient production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a cutting device for manifolds, which solves the problem that frequent mold changes and debugging significantly reduce production efficiency, not only extend the delivery cycle, but also increase labor costs and equipment energy consumption, failing to meet the needs of modern manufacturing for flexible and efficient production.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a cutting device for manifolds, including an operating table and multiple manifold bodies.

[0007] It also includes a cutting mechanism and a dust collection mechanism. An equipment box is fixedly connected to the top right side of the operating table. The cutting mechanism is installed inside the equipment box. The cutting mechanism is used to cut multiple manifold bodies of different specifications at the same time. A dust collection mechanism is installed at the bottom of the operating table. The dust collection mechanism is used to adsorb particles generated during cutting.

[0008] The cutting mechanism includes a transport plate with multiple transport slots on its top. These transport slots are of different sizes and their internal dimensions match the dimensions of multiple manifold bodies. Hydraulic rods are fixedly connected to the top left and right ends of the inner side of the equipment box. Connecting frames are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of two hydraulic rods. A rotating motor is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the connecting frame. A cutting disc is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor. A drive assembly is provided on the top of the operating table.

[0009] The dust collection mechanism includes a dust collection box, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the operating table. A suction fan is fixedly connected to the left side of the dust collection box. A mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the top left side of the inside of the dust collection box. Dustproof cotton is inserted inside the mounting bracket. A sealing plate is provided at the bottom of the dust collection box. Sealing bolts are threaded through the bottom four sides of the sealing plate. The ends of the multiple sealing bolts are threaded to the bottom four sides of the dust collection box.

[0010] The drive assembly includes two mounting plates, which are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the operating table, respectively. A conveyor roller is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the operating table. A chain gear is fixedly connected to both the output end of the drive motor and the rear end of the conveyor roller. A transmission chain is meshed with the outer sides of both chain gears.

[0011] The dust collection mechanism also includes a sealing rubber pad, which is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing plate, and the top of the sealing rubber pad is engaged with the bottom inner side of the dust collection box.

[0012] The drive assembly further includes multiple rubber layers, which are fixedly connected to the inside of the conveyor roller and respectively attached to the top of multiple manifold bodies.

[0013] The top right end of the operating table has a collection trough, and the left side of the inside of the collection trough is designed with an incline.

[0014] The cutting mechanism also includes a limiting plate, which is fixedly connected to the top left side of the transport plate by bolts, and multiple manifold bodies are slidably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate.

[0015] The control panel is fixedly connected to the top front side of the operating platform, and the control panel is electrically connected to two hydraulic rods, a rotary motor, a drive motor and a suction fan.

[0016] This utility model discloses a cutting device for manifolds. It uses a multi-sized transport trough on a transport plate to hold manifold bodies of different specifications. A hydraulic rod adjusts the height of the cutting disc, and a drive motor drives a conveyor roller to rotate via a chain, gears, and transmission chain. The friction of the rubber layer helps transport the manifold, while the rotating motor drives the cutting disc to rotate and cut simultaneously. This allows for the simultaneous cutting of manifold bodies of different specifications.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-4 A cutting device for manifolds, comprising an operating table 1 and multiple manifold bodies 3.

[0026] It also includes a cutting mechanism 4 and a dust collection mechanism 5. The top right side of the operating table 1 is fixedly connected to the equipment box 2. The cutting mechanism 4 is installed inside the equipment box 2. The cutting mechanism 4 is used to cut multiple manifold bodies 3 of different specifications at the same time. The bottom of the operating table 1 is equipped with a dust collection mechanism 5, which is used to adsorb the particles generated during cutting.

[0027] The cutting mechanism 4 includes a transport plate 41, with multiple transport grooves 42 on the top of the transport plate 41. These grooves 42 are of different sizes, and their internal dimensions match the dimensions of the multiple manifold bodies 3. Hydraulic rods 43 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the top inner side of the equipment box 2. Connecting frames 44 are fixedly connected to the bottom ends of the two hydraulic rods 43. A rotating motor 45 is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the connecting frame 44. A cutting disc 46 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor 45. A drive assembly 47 is installed on the top of the operating table 1, and the drive assembly 47 includes two mounting plates 471. Two mounting plates 471 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the operating table 1, respectively. A conveyor roller 472 is rotatably connected between the two mounting plates 471. A drive motor 473 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the top of the operating table 1. A chain gear 474 is fixedly connected to both the output end of the drive motor 473 and the rear end of the conveyor roller 472. A transmission chain 475 is meshed with the outer side of both chain gears 474. The drive assembly 47 also includes multiple rubber layers 476. The multiple rubber layers 476 are fixedly connected to the inside of the conveyor roller 472, and the multiple rubber layers 476 are respectively attached to the top of multiple manifold bodies 3.

[0028] Specifically, the cutting mechanism 4 can simultaneously cut different specifications of manifold bodies 3. Multiple transport grooves 42 on the top of the transport plate 41 have internal dimensions that match the outer diameter of the multiple manifold bodies 3, used to fix manifold bodies 3 of different specifications. Hydraulic rods 43 on the top left and right sides of the inner side of the equipment box 2 have connecting frames 44 fixedly connected to their bottom ends for suspending the rotating motor 45 and the cutting disc 46. When cutting is required, the hydraulic rods 43 extend, driving the connecting frame 44, rotating motor 45, and cutting disc 46 downwards, bringing the cutting disc 46 closer to the manifold body 3. In the drive assembly 47, two mounting plates 471 are fixed to the front and rear sides of the top of the operating table 1, providing rotational support for the conveyor roller 472. The output end of the drive motor 473 on the rear side of the top of the operating table 1 and the chain gears 474 fixed to the rear end of the conveyor roller 472 are connected by a transmission chain 475. When the drive motor... When the machine 473 starts, the output torque drives the front chain gear 474 to rotate, which is transmitted to the chain gear 474 at the rear end of the conveyor roller 472 via the transmission chain 475, so that the conveyor roller 472 rotates synchronously. Multiple rubber layers 476 fixed inside the conveyor roller 472 are in contact with the top of the manifold body 3. Using the friction of the rubber layers 476, the manifold body 3 is moved along the transport groove 42 when the conveyor roller 472 rotates. After the rotating motor 45 starts, the output end drives the cutting disc 46 to rotate at high speed. As the manifold body 3 moves forward under the drive component 47, the high-speed rotating cutting disc 46 cuts the manifold body 3. The hydraulic rod 43 can control the depth of the cutting disc 46 into the manifold body 3 by adjusting the height of the connecting frame 44 to adapt to the cutting requirements of different pipe diameters and wall thicknesses. Multiple transport grooves 42 can simultaneously place manifold bodies 3 of different specifications, realizing the parallel cutting of multiple specifications of manifolds.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The dust collection mechanism 5 includes a dust collection box 51, which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the operating table 1. A suction fan 52 is fixedly connected to the left side of the dust collection box 51. A mounting bracket 53 is fixedly connected to the top left side of the inside of the dust collection box 51. A dustproof cotton 54 is inserted inside the mounting bracket 53. A sealing plate 55 is provided at the bottom of the dust collection box 51. Sealing bolts 56 penetrate the bottom of the sealing plate 55 around its perimeter. The ends of the multiple sealing bolts 56 are threaded to the bottom perimeter of the dust collection box 51. The dust collection mechanism 5 also includes a sealing rubber pad 57, which is fixedly connected to the top of the sealing plate 55. The top of the sealing rubber pad 57 is inserted into the bottom inner side of the dust collection box 51.

[0030] Specifically, the dust collection box 51 is fixed to the bottom of the operating table 1. When the suction fan 52 on its left side is started, it generates negative pressure, drawing particles generated during the cutting operation into the dust collection box 51 through the channel at the bottom of the operating table 1. The mounting bracket 53 on the top left side inside the dust collection box 51 is used to hold the dustproof cotton 54 in place. When the airflow containing particles enters the dust collection box 51, the dustproof cotton 54 filters the particles in the airflow. The fiber structure of the dustproof cotton 54 forms a multi-layered filtration barrier, causing particles to be trapped on the surface and inside of the dustproof cotton 54. The purified air is discharged through the suction fan 52. The sealing plate 55 is located at the bottom of the dust collection box 51, and its top sealing rubber gasket 57 is engaged with the bottom inner side of the dust collection box 51, forming a sealed structure. Multiple sealing bolts 56 penetrate around the bottom of the sealing plate 55, with their ends threaded to the bottom of the dust collection box 51, used to fix the sealing plate 55 and enhance the sealing effect. When it is necessary to clean the particles inside the dust collection box 51... Unscrew the sealing bolt 56 and remove the sealing plate 55 to clean the particles inside the dust collection box 51 and the surface of the dustproof cotton 54. After cleaning, snap the sealing rubber gasket 57 back into the bottom of the inner side of the dust collection box 51 and re-fix the sealing plate 55 with the sealing bolt 56 to ensure the sealing of the dust collection box 51. The continuous operation of the suction fan 52 ensures the continuity of the dust collection process. The suction power can be controlled by adjusting the power of the suction fan 52 to adapt to the particle adsorption needs under different cutting conditions. The locking structure between the mounting bracket 53 and the dustproof cotton 54 facilitates the replacement of the dustproof cotton 54. When the filtration effect of the dustproof cotton 54 decreases, a new dustproof cotton 54 can be quickly disassembled and installed. The suction fan 52 generates negative pressure to suck in the cutting particles. The dustproof cotton 54 filters the particles. With the sealing design of the sealing plate 55 and the sealing rubber gasket 57, the cutting particles are efficiently adsorbed and easy to clean in the cutting operation scenario of the manifold.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 The top right end of the operating table 1 is provided with a collection trough 6, and the left side of the inside of the collection trough 6 is designed with an incline. The cutting mechanism 4 also includes a limiting plate 48, which is fixedly connected to the top left side of the transport plate 41 by bolts. Multiple collection pipe bodies 3 are slidably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 48. The top front side of the operating table 1 is fixedly connected to a control console 7, which is electrically connected to two hydraulic rods 43, a rotary motor 45, a drive motor 473, and a suction fan 52.

[0032] Specifically, the collection trough 6, located at the top right end of the operating table 1, has an inclined design on its left side to collect the cut manifold body 3. The cut manifold body 3 moves forward under the drive assembly 47 and slides from the transport plate 41 into the collection trough 6. The inclined design allows the manifold body 3 to roll along the slope to the right side of the collection trough 6 for easy centralized storage. The limiting plate 48 of the cutting mechanism 4 is bolted to the top left side of the transport plate 41. Multiple manifold bodies 3 are slidably connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 48, which limits the left side of the manifold body 3 to prevent… The manifold body 3 sways left and right within the transport trough 42 to ensure precise cutting position. The control console 7 on the front top of the operating platform 1 is electrically connected to two hydraulic rods 43, a rotary motor 45, a drive motor 473, and a suction fan 52 to control the operation of each component. The operator can set the lifting height of the hydraulic rods 43, the speed of the rotary motor 45, the start and stop of the drive motor 473, and the power of the suction fan 52 through the control console 7 to achieve automated control of the cutting operation. This improves cutting accuracy, facilitates material collection, and enables automated control in the manifold cutting operation scenario.

[0033] Working principle: Before operation, the operator places the manifold body 3 to be cut into the corresponding transport groove 42 on the top of the transport plate 41 according to its specifications. The transport groove 42 matches the outer diameter of the manifold body 3, which can stably fix manifolds of different specifications. When cutting is required, the operator starts the equipment through the control console 7. First, the two hydraulic rods 43 on the top of the inner side of the equipment box 2 extend synchronously, driving the bottom connecting frame 44 to move downward, thereby causing the rotating motor 45 and the cutting disc 46 to descend to a position close to the manifold body 3. The extension length of the hydraulic rods 43 can be precisely adjusted through the control console 7 to control the depth of the cutting disc 46 into the manifold body 3, adapting to the cutting requirements of different pipe diameters and wall thicknesses. The control console 7 starts the drive motor. Machine 473, whose output chain gear 474 starts to rotate, transmits power to the chain gear 474 at the rear end of the conveyor roller 472 through the transmission chain 475, causing the conveyor roller 472 to rotate synchronously. The rubber layer 476 inside the conveyor roller 472 is tightly attached to the top of the collector tube body 3. Using the friction of the rubber layer 476, the collector tube body 3 is driven to move forward along the transport groove 42. At the same time as the collector tube body 3 moves, the control console 7 starts the rotating motor 45, whose output end drives the cutting disc 46 to rotate at high speed. As the collector tube body 3 continues to move forward under the action of the drive component 47, the high-speed rotating cutting disc 46 cuts the collector tube body 3. Since the transport plate 41 is equipped with multiple transport grooves 42 of different sizes, it can simultaneously place collector tubes of various specifications. Under the unified drive of the drive assembly 47, the main body 3 of the flow tube realizes parallel cutting of multiple specifications of flow tubes. During the cutting process, the limiting plate 48 is fixed to the top left side of the transport plate 41, which limits the left side of the flow tube main body 3 to prevent it from swaying left and right in the transport trough 42 and ensures accurate cutting position. After the cutting is completed, the flow tube main body 3 continues to move forward under the drive assembly 47 and slides from the transport plate 41 to the collection trough 6 at the top right end of the operating table 1. The inclined design on the left side of the inside of the collection trough 6 makes the flow tube main body 3 roll along the inclined surface to the right side of the collection trough 6, which is convenient for centralized storage and subsequent processing. At the same time as the cutting mechanism 4 is running, the control console 7 starts the suction fan 52. The suction fan 52 is fixed to the left side of the dust collection box 51. After starting, it generates negative pressure at the bottom of the operating table 1. The system generates suction, and particles generated during cutting are drawn into the dust collection box 51 through the channel at the bottom of the operating table 1 under negative pressure. The airflow containing particles enters the dust collection box 51 and first passes through the dustproof cotton 54, which is engaged with the mounting bracket 53 on the top left side. The fiber structure of the dustproof cotton 54 forms a multi-layered filtration barrier, intercepting and retaining particles in the airflow on its surface and inside, thus filtering the particles. The purified air is then discharged from the dust collection box 51 by the suction fan 52. When the particles in the dust collection box 51 accumulate to a certain level and need to be cleaned, the operator turns off the suction fan 52, unscrews the sealing bolts 56 around the bottom of the sealing plate 55, and removes the sealing plate 55. At this point, the particles inside the dust collection box 51 and on the surface of the dustproof cotton 54 can be cleaned. After cleaning...The sealing rubber gasket 57 is re-clamped back into the bottom of the dust collection box 51, and the sealing plate 55 is fixed with the sealing bolts 56 to restore the sealing performance of the dust collection box 51. The suction power can be controlled by adjusting the power of the suction fan 52 to adapt to the particle adsorption requirements under different cutting conditions. If the filtration effect of the dustproof cotton 54 decreases, a new dustproof cotton 54 can be quickly replaced by disassembling the mounting bracket 53. The multi-specification transport grooves 42 of the transport plate 41, in conjunction with the limiting plate 48, achieve precise positioning and stable transport of the collection tube body 3. The hydraulic rod 43, the rotating motor 45, and the drive assembly 47 work together to complete the parallel cutting of multi-specification collection tubes. The suction fan 52, the dustproof cotton 54, and the sealing structure ensure efficient collection and convenient cleaning of cutting dust. The control console 7 uniformly controls the operation of all components, achieving automated operation. The close cooperation of all parts ensures efficient and precise cutting, effective control of dust pollution, and intelligent operation in batch cutting scenarios of collection tubes.
