Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of steel production technology, and in particular to a steel section cutting length marking device. Background Technology

[0002] Section steel is a type of steel with a specific cross-sectional shape, manufactured through processes such as rolling and forging. Common types include I-beams, channel steel, angle steel, and H-beams. It has wide applications in numerous fields, including construction, machinery manufacturing, bridge construction, and rail transportation. In construction engineering, section steel serves as a load-bearing framework, supporting the structure of buildings. In machinery manufacturing, it is used to manufacture various mechanical parts, ensuring the stable operation of equipment. In bridge construction, section steel is a crucial material for constructing the main structure of bridges, ensuring their load-bearing capacity.

[0003] The production process of structural steel typically includes raw material preparation, heating, rolling, cooling, straightening, and cutting. The cutting process involves cutting the straightened structural steel to specific lengths according to actual usage requirements. Common cutting methods include flame cutting, plasma cutting, and sawing. Flame cutting utilizes the high temperature generated by the combustion of a mixture of fuel gas and oxygen to melt the steel at the cutting edge, which is then blown away, thus completing the cut. This method is suitable for thicker structural steel sections. Plasma cutting uses the high temperature of a plasma arc to melt the steel, offering high cutting speed and precision, and is suitable for cutting various metal materials. Sawing uses the high-speed rotation of a saw blade to cut the steel, producing a relatively clean cut. This method is commonly used in applications requiring high precision and is widely employed.

[0004] After the existing steel profiles are processed, they need to be cut into the required lengths according to actual needs to facilitate subsequent transportation or use. Before cutting, a material platform is set up at the discharge end of the band saw cutting machine. The material platform is equipped with an adjustable length marking device. The worker determines the position of the length marking device in advance and locks it. When feeding, the steel profile simply needs to touch the marking device. However, after the steel profile is cut, the worker will continue to push the steel profile forward. At this time, the length marking device will block the movement of the steel profile. The worker needs to disassemble it to make way for the steel profile and then reinstall it. The operation is relatively troublesome, resulting in low cutting efficiency and thus affecting the production efficiency of steel profiles. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this application is to solve the problem in the above-mentioned background technology that after the steel section is cut, the worker will continue to push the steel section forward. At this time, the length marking device will block the movement of the steel section, and the worker needs to disassemble it to make way for the steel section. After that, it needs to be reinstalled, which is a relatively troublesome operation, resulting in low cutting efficiency and thus affecting the production efficiency of steel section. This application provides a steel section cutting length marking device.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application specifically adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A steel section cutting length marking device includes a material rack one, a band saw cutter fixedly connected to one side of the material rack one, a material rack two fixedly connected to one side of the band saw cutter, a material platform fixedly connected to the side of the material rack two near the band saw cutter, an adjusting component installed on one side of the material platform, and a length marking component slidably connected to one side of the material platform, the adjusting component being kinetically connected to the length marking component, a ruler fixedly connected to one side of the material platform, and a baffle plate fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the material platform, a limit plate installed on the length marking component, a vision sensor fixedly connected to the band saw cutter, and a controller fixedly connected to one side of the band saw cutter, the controller being electrically connected to the vision sensor, the adjusting component, and the length marking component.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when the band saw cuts the steel profile, the vision sensor visually monitors the steel profile. After the band saw cuts the steel profile, the vision sensor detects the cutting state and transmits the data to the controller. The controller then manipulates the length marking component, causing the internal components of the length marking component to drive the limit plate, thereby retracting the limit plate and releasing the restriction on the steel profile. This achieves automatic repositioning, avoiding obstruction caused by the limit plate aligning when pushing the cut steel profile. It facilitates quick pushing and replacement of the steel profile, reduces the time spent on manual repositioning, and improves the production efficiency of steel profiles.

[0009] Furthermore, the material platform is provided with multiple leakage holes, and a sliding groove is provided on one side of the material platform.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the coolant on the steel section can fall through the drain hole and be collected by the collection box under the material platform.

[0011] Furthermore, the adjusting component includes a drive motor fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the material rack, a drive disk fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor, a transmission component installed inside the slide groove, and the drive disk and the transmission component being connected by a transmission belt.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the operation of the drive motor can drive the drive disc to rotate, and drive the transmission components to operate.

[0013] Furthermore, the transmission component includes a threaded rod rotatably connected inside the slide groove, one end of which is fixedly connected to a second drive disc, which is connected to a transmission belt.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the length marking component can be driven by the rotating threaded rod, thereby causing the length marking component to move.

[0015] Furthermore, the length marking component includes a sliding block slidably connected inside the groove, a movable seat fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block, a driving component mounted on the movable seat, and an installation groove provided on the movable seat, and the limiting plate slidably installed inside the installation groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting plate can be driven by the driving component, so that it slides inside the mounting groove.

[0017] Furthermore, a marking plate is fixedly connected to one bottom side of the movable seat. The marking plate is connected through the liquid baffle, and one bottom side of the marking plate corresponds to the scale.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, and by having the marking plate correspond to the ruler, it is convenient for people to adjust the blocking position of the limiting plate, thereby making it convenient for people to adjust or check the cutting size.

[0019] Furthermore, the driving component includes a servo motor fixedly connected to the top of the movable base, and a drive gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the operation of the servo motor can drive the drive gear to rotate, thereby driving the limit plate.

[0021] Furthermore, a rack is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate, and the drive gear meshes with the rack.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the limiting plate can be driven by the rotating drive gear, which can push or pull the limiting plate.

[0023] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial effects;

[0024] 1. In this application, when a band saw cuts steel sections, a vision sensor monitors the steel sections visually. After the band saw cuts the steel sections, the vision sensor detects the cutting state and transmits the data to the controller. The controller then manipulates the length marking component, causing the internal components of the length marking component to drive the limit plate, thereby retracting the limit plate and releasing the restriction on the steel sections. This achieves automatic repositioning, preventing the limit plate from aligning and obstructing the cut steel sections when manually pushing them. This facilitates quick replacement of the steel sections, reduces manual repositioning time, and improves steel section production efficiency.

[0025] 2. In this application, before cutting the steel profile, the controller can be operated to drive the adjusting component, causing the internal components of the adjusting component to rotate, thereby moving the length marking component on the material table. During this process, the internal components of the length marking component correspond to the scale. When the internal components of the length marking component move to the appropriate scale, the controller can operate the adjusting component to stop, thereby adjusting the limit plate to the corresponding scale size. This allows for quick and easy adjustment of the limit plate, shortening the manual disassembly and adjustment time, and improving the adjustment accuracy, thereby improving the cutting efficiency and quality of the steel profile.

[0033] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 —5 provides further detailed description of this application.

[0034] This application discloses a steel cutting length marking device.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A steel section cutting length marking device includes a material rack 1, a band saw cutter 2 fixedly connected to one side of the material rack 1, a material rack 4 fixedly connected to one side of the band saw cutter 2, a material platform 5 fixedly connected to the side of the material rack 4 near the band saw cutter 2, an adjusting component 6 installed on one side of the material platform 5, and a length marking component 8 slidably connected to one side of the material platform 5. The adjusting component 6 and the length marking component 8 are connected in a transmission manner. A ruler 7 is fixedly connected to one side of the material platform 5, and a baffle plate 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of one side of the material platform 5. A limit plate 11 is installed on the length marking component 8. A vision sensor 3 is fixedly connected to the band saw cutter 2, and a controller 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the band saw cutter 2. The controller 10 is electrically connected to the vision sensor 3, the adjusting component 6, and the length marking component 8. Multiple leakage holes 51 are opened on the material platform 5, and a sliding groove 52 is opened on one side of the material platform 5.

[0036] When cutting the steel profile, the controller 10 can be operated first, so that the controller 10 controls the adjusting component 6. Through the operation of the adjusting component 6, its internal components drive the length marking component 8, thereby driving the length marking component 8 to move, which in turn drives the limiting plate 11 to move synchronously. When the length marking component 8 moves, its internal components move in accordance with the scale 7. When the internal components of the length marking component 8 correspond to the set scale, the controller 10 can control the adjusting component 6 to stop, so that the length marking component 8 and the limiting plate 11 stop moving, thereby realizing the adjustment of the limiting plate 11. After the limiting plate 11 is adjusted, the steel profile can be placed on the material rack 1, and the steel profile can be pushed so that one end of it abuts against the limiting plate 11, thus completing the placement of the steel profile.

[0037] After the steel section is placed in contact with the cutting machine, the band saw 2 cuts the steel section. During this process, the vision sensor 3 monitors the state of the steel section. After the steel section is cut, the vision sensor 3 transmits the monitoring data to the controller 10. At this time, the controller 10 controls the length marking component 8, causing it to operate. This causes the internal components of the length marking component 8 to drive the limiting plate 11, making the limiting plate 11 move towards the length marking component 8 and release its contact with the end of the steel section. Afterward, the steel section can be moved and replaced, thereby reducing the time spent on manual operation and improving the production efficiency of the steel section. When the next section is cut, the length marking component 8 can control the limiting plate 11 to reset. Here, the controller 10 can set the time interval for the limiting plate 11 to reset, so that after the steel section is moved and replaced, the limiting plate 11 resets again to limit the next section of steel to be cut.

[0038] During the cutting of the steel profile, the inside of the vision sensor 3 can spray coolant onto the steel profile. At this time, the coolant is blocked by the inclined baffle plate 9 to prevent it from falling onto the scale 7 and thus avoiding contamination that would affect people's viewing. In addition, the coolant on the cut steel profile can fall through the drain hole 51 and be collected by the collection box under the material platform 5.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 The adjusting component 6 includes a drive motor 61 fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the material rack 1. The output end of the drive motor 61 is fixedly connected to a drive disk 62. A transmission component is installed inside the slide 52. The drive disk 62 and the transmission component are connected by a transmission belt 63. The transmission component includes a threaded rod 65 rotatably connected inside the slide 52. One end of the threaded rod 65 is fixedly connected to a drive disk 64. The drive disk 64 is connected to the transmission belt 63.

[0040] Under the operation of the drive motor 61, the drive disk 62 is driven to rotate. The rotating drive disk 62 can drive the drive disk 64 to rotate through the transmission belt 63. The rotating drive disk 64 can drive the threaded rod 65 to rotate. The rotating threaded rod 65 can drive the length marking component 8, so that the length marking component 8 moves on the material table 5 and drives the limiting plate 11 to move synchronously, thereby adjusting the position of the limiting plate 11.

[0041] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The length marking component 8 includes a sliding block 82 slidably connected inside the slide groove 52. A movable seat 81 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding block 82. A driving component is installed on the movable seat 81, and an installation groove 83 is provided on the movable seat 81. A limiting plate 11 is slidably installed inside the installation groove 83. A marking plate 84 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of one side of the movable seat 81. The marking plate 84 is connected through the liquid baffle 9, and one side of the bottom end of the marking plate 84 corresponds to the scale 7. The driving component includes a servo motor 85 fixedly connected to the top of the movable seat 81. A driving gear 86 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 85. A rack 111 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 11, and the driving gear 86 meshes with the rack 111.

[0042] When the threaded rod 65 rotates, it drives the sliding block 82, causing the sliding block 82 to slide inside the slide groove 52, thereby driving the moving seat 81 to move, and then driving the limiting plate 11 to move. When the limiting plate 11 is to be moved or reset, the servo motor 85 drives the drive gear 86 to rotate. The rotating drive gear 86 drives the rack 111, thereby pushing or pulling the limiting plate 11, thus moving or resetting the limiting plate 11.

[0043] When the movable seat 81 moves, it can drive the marking plate 84 to move synchronously. During this time, one end of the marking plate 84 moves in correspondence with the ruler 7. By the correspondence between the marking plate 84 and the ruler 7, it is convenient for people to adjust the blocking position of the limit plate 11, thereby making it convenient for people to adjust or check the cutting size.

[0044] Working principle: When cutting the steel profile, the controller 10 can be operated first, so that the controller 10 controls the adjusting component 6. Under the operation of the drive motor 61, the drive disk 62 is driven to rotate. The rotating drive disk 62 can drive the drive disk 64 to rotate through the transmission belt 63. The rotating drive disk 64 can drive the threaded rod 65 to rotate. The rotating threaded rod 65 can drive the length marking component 8, so that the length marking component 8 moves on the material table 5 and drives the limit plate 11 to move synchronously. When the length marking component 8 moves, its internal components move to correspond with the scale 7. When the internal components of the length marking component 8 correspond to the set scale, the controller 10 can control the adjusting component 6 to stop, so that the length marking component 8 and the limit plate 11 stop moving, thereby realizing the adjustment of the limit plate 11. After the limit plate 11 is adjusted, the steel profile can be placed on the material rack 1 and pushed so that one end of the steel profile abuts against the limit plate 11, thus completing the placement of the steel profile.

[0045] After the steel section is placed in contact with the cutting machine, the band saw 2 cuts the steel section. During this process, the vision sensor 3 monitors the state of the steel section. After the steel section is cut, the vision sensor 3 transmits the monitoring data to the controller 10. At this time, the controller 10 controls the length marking component 8, causing it to operate. This causes the internal components of the length marking component 8 to drive the limiting plate 11, making the limiting plate 11 move towards the length marking component 8 and release its contact with the end of the steel section. Afterward, the steel section can be moved and replaced, thereby reducing the time spent on manual operation and improving the production efficiency of the steel section. When the next section is cut, the length marking component 8 can control the limiting plate 11 to reset. Here, the controller 10 can set the time interval for the limiting plate 11 to reset, so that after the steel section is moved and replaced, the limiting plate 11 resets again to limit the next section of steel to be cut.
