Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of metal sheet processing, and in particular to a sheet slitting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Sheet metal generally refers to metal in the form of thin sheets or coils. Common sheet metal includes thin steel plates and steel strip coils. Shearing is the first step in sheet metal processing. When manufacturing parts, sheet metal first needs to be sheared into appropriate shapes and sizes. Then, it undergoes stamping, welding, assembly, and other processes to ultimately obtain the required components. Sheet metal slitting is generally accomplished using a slitting machine. Existing metal slitting machines primarily use rotating rollers on both sides, with adjacent disc shears on these rollers to cut the sheet metal, thus longitudinally shearing wide metal coils to a set width, turning them into narrower strips or sheets. However, existing slitting machines lack a centering function for the sheet metal being cut. The sheet metal is prone to skew during feeding to the disc shears, affecting the slitting effect and slitting accuracy. Therefore, a sheet metal slitting machine needs to be developed.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] This utility model discloses a sheet metal slitting machine, which includes a worktable, and an automatic centering mechanism and a longitudinal shearing mechanism are sequentially arranged on the upper part of the worktable.

[0006] The automatic centering mechanism includes a mounting plate fixedly installed on the upper part of the worktable. Two slides are symmetrically slidably arranged on the mounting plate, and two sets of limiting guide wheels are symmetrically rotatably arranged on the upper part of the two slides.

[0027] like Figures 1-6As shown, a sheet metal slitting machine includes a worktable 1, on the upper part of which an automatic centering mechanism and a longitudinal shearing mechanism are sequentially arranged.

[0028] The automatic centering mechanism includes a mounting plate 2 fixedly installed in the middle of the upper part of the workbench 1, and two slides 3 symmetrically slidably arranged on the mounting plate 2. In this embodiment, each slide 3 has a T-shaped structure, and two sets of limiting guide wheels 4 are symmetrically rotatably mounted on the upper part of the two slides 3. There are two limiting guide wheels 4 on the upper part of each slide 3, which are respectively rotatably mounted at the front and rear ends of the upper surface of the horizontal part of the slide 3. Each limiting guide wheel 4 has a grooved wheel structure. The metal sheet to be cut passes between the two sets of symmetrical limiting guide wheels 4. Under the limiting clamping action of the two sets of limiting guide wheels, the automatic centering function of the metal sheet is realized, preventing deviation during longitudinal cutting and conveying.

[0029] Two drive pulleys 5 are symmetrically and rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 2. The axes of the two drive pulleys 5 are horizontally arranged, and a drive belt 6 adapted to them is installed between them. The vertical part of one slide 3 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the drive belt 6 through a horizontal upper connecting plate 7, and the vertical part of the other slide 3 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the drive belt 6 through a horizontal lower connecting plate 8. A spring 9 is connected between the middle parts of the two slides 3. A horizontal first slide rail 10 is fixedly installed in the middle of the mounting plate 2, and a first slider 11 that slides in cooperation with the first slide rail 10 is fixedly installed on each of the two slides 3.

[0030] Since the two slides 3 are fixedly connected to the upper and lower sides of the transmission belt 6 respectively, the two slides 3 can move relative to each other or away from each other under the action of external force, and cooperate with the connecting spring to adapt to the centering and clamping of metal plates of different widths.

[0031] The longitudinal slitting mechanism includes a first spindle box 12 and a second spindle box 13 arranged parallel to each other on the upper part of the worktable 1. The first spindle box 12 and the second spindle box 13 are horizontally rotatably mounted with two cutter shafts 14. A first motor 15 for driving the two cutter shafts 14 to rotate relative to each other is installed on the outside of the first spindle box 12. The middle of the two cutter shafts 14 corresponds to the plane where the limiting guide wheel 4 is located, and a disc shear 16 is respectively mounted on each cutter shaft 14.

[0032] In this example, a first base 17 is mounted on the upper part of the worktable 1. The first spindle box 12 is fixedly mounted on one upper end of the first base 17, and a gearbox 18 is fixedly mounted on the other upper end of the first base 17. Two meshing transmission gears 19 are rotatably mounted inside the gearbox 18. The central shafts of the two transmission gears 19 are connected to the two cutter shafts 14 respectively via couplings 32. The drive shaft of the first motor 15 is connected to the central shaft of the upper transmission gear 19. Specifically, a reducer 20 is fixedly mounted on the outside of the gearbox 18. The first motor 15 is fixedly mounted above the reducer 20, and its drive shaft is connected to the input end of the reducer 20. The output end of the reducer 20 is connected to the central shaft of the upper transmission gear 19.

[0033] After the drive motor 15 is started, the two cutter shafts 14 rotate in opposite directions under the meshing transmission of the two transmission gears 19. During the rotation of the two cutter shafts 14, the corresponding disc shears 16 perform longitudinal shearing on the plate material passing between them, thereby completing the automatic slitting and cutting operation of the plate material.

[0034] In this example, a motor base 21 is fixedly installed at one upper end of the workbench 1. A second motor 22 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the motor base 21. The drive shaft of the second motor 22 is connected to a first lead screw 23 rotatably installed inside the motor base 21. A first nut 24 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 23 is fixedly installed at the lower middle part of the first base 17. Two second slide rails 25 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the upper part of the workbench 1 along the first lead screw 23. Two sets of second sliders 26, which slide and engage with the two second slide rails 25 respectively, are symmetrically installed on the lower part of the first base 17.

[0035] This invention uses a second motor 22 to drive a first lead screw 23 to rotate. Since the first nut 24 at the bottom of the first base 17 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 23, the rotation of the first lead screw 23 drives the first nut 24 and the first base 17 to perform linear motion, thereby enabling convenient adjustment of the positions of the first spindle box 12, the second spindle box 13, the cutter shaft 14, and the disc shear 16 on the first base to meet different processing needs.

[0036] Additionally, a second base 27 is slidably mounted on the upper part of the two second slide rails 25 at the end away from the motor base 21. Two third sliders 28 are symmetrically mounted on the bottom of the second base 27, each slidingly engaging with one of the two second slide rails 25. The second spindle box 13 is fixedly mounted on the second base 27. A third motor 29 is fixedly mounted on the side of the first spindle box 12 near the gearbox 18. The drive shaft of the third motor 29 is connected to a second lead screw 30 rotatably mounted on the other side of the first spindle box 12. A second nut 31, threadedly connected to the second lead screw 30, is fixedly mounted on the second spindle box 13.

[0037] This utility model drives the second lead screw 30 to rotate via the third motor 29. Since the second nut 31 on the second base 27 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 30, when the second lead screw 30 rotates, it drives the second nut 31 and the second base 27 to move linearly, so that the second spindle box 13 on the second base 27 is separated from the cutter shaft, which makes it easy to disassemble and replace the disc shear 16 on the cutter shaft.

[0038] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
