Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser cutting technology for pipe fittings, specifically to a laser cutting device for processing infrared heating tubes. Background Technology
[0002] Infrared heating tubes, as a high-efficiency and energy-saving heating element, are widely used in industrial heating, household appliances, medical equipment and other fields. In the process of use, infrared heating tubes often need to be cut and processed according to specific application scenarios to meet different sizes or installation requirements.
[0003] Traditional methods for cutting infrared heating tubes typically involve mechanical or manual cutting, but these methods have the following problems:
[0004] (1) Mechanical cutting or manual operation makes it difficult to ensure the flatness and perpendicularity of the cut surface, which can easily lead to uneven heating tube end face, affecting subsequent installation and use effect;
[0005] (2) During the cutting process, only the pipe parts that need to be retained are clamped or supported, while the waste generated after cutting is not clamped or supported. This will cause the waste to fall freely and splash, which can easily cause safety hazards.
[0006] (3) Traditional cutting methods rely on manual operation, and the cutting speed is slow, making it difficult to meet the needs of mass production.
[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an infrared heating tube laser cutting device that can improve cutting accuracy, reduce waste splashing, and increase processing efficiency to meet the needs of modern production. Utility Model Content
[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by providing a laser cutting device for infrared heating tubes that is easy to adjust and can handle both the pipe fittings themselves and the waste generated after cutting.
[0009] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a laser cutting device for processing infrared heating tubes, which includes a base, on which a bearing mechanism and a laser cutting mechanism are provided;
[0010] The bearing mechanism includes slide rail I and slide rail II arranged one in front of the other on the top surface of the base. Slider I is slidably installed on slide rail I and slider II is slidably installed on slide rail II. Horizontal support plate I is fixedly installed on the top surface of slider I and horizontal support plate II is fixedly installed on the top surface of slider II. The top surfaces of horizontal support plate I and horizontal support plate II are provided with bearing grooves for holding the heating tube to be cut.
[0011] The laser cutting mechanism includes a support beam I and a support beam II arranged one in front of the other on the top surface of the base. An xy linear module is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support beam I and the support beam II. The xy linear module is located directly above the support mechanism. A laser cutting head is installed on the xy linear module to cut the heating tube to be cut on the support mechanism.
[0012] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: the laser cutting equipment for processing infrared heating tubes described above has a pair of isolation covers symmetrically fixed on the top edge of the base, and a sliding door is provided inside each isolation cover. A sliding door track for the sliding door to move laterally is also fixed on the top surface of the base below the isolation cover.
[0013] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: the laser cutting equipment for processing infrared heating tubes described above also includes a reference plate. The bottom end of the reference plate is screwed onto the top surface of the base and located beside the slide rail I. The top end of the reference plate is flush with the top end of the horizontal support plate I. The side of the reference plate facing the horizontal support plate I forms a cutting reference surface for contacting the end face of the heating tube to be cut.
[0014] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: the laser cutting equipment for processing infrared heating tubes described above has locking blocks fixed on the side walls of slider I and slider II. A threaded hole is vertically opened on the top surface of the locking block, and a locking nut is screwed into the threaded hole so that its bottom end can abut against the top surface of slider I or slider II, thereby locking the position of slider I and slider II relative to each other.
[0015] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model can also be achieved through the following technical solution: In the laser cutting equipment for processing infrared heating tubes described above, slide rail I and slide rail II are on the same straight line.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial technical effects of this utility model are:
[0017] (1) Through the cooperation of slide rail I, slide rail II and slider I, slider II, the horizontal support plate I and horizontal support plate II can be adjusted according to the size of the infrared heating tube to be cut. At the same time, the xy linear module can realize the movement of the laser cutting head in the horizontal and vertical directions, ensuring the normal progress of the cutting operation and improving the flatness and verticality of the cutting surface to a certain extent. The top of the reference plate is flush with the top of the horizontal support plate I, and the side facing the horizontal support plate I forms a cutting reference surface, which can contact the end face of the heating tube to be cut, providing a reference for the cutting operation and further ensuring the accuracy and consistency of the cutting.
[0018] (2) The top surfaces of both horizontal support plate I and horizontal support plate II are provided with bearing grooves to hold the heating tubes to be cut. During the cutting process, not only the parts of the tubes that need to be retained are supported, but also the waste generated after cutting is supported, which avoids the waste from falling and splashing freely, effectively eliminating safety hazards, ensuring the personal safety of operators, and also helping to maintain a clean working environment.

[0022] The specific technical solutions of this utility model are further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so as to enable those skilled in the art to further understand this utility model, without constituting a limitation on its rights.
[0023] Example 1, referring to Figure 1-2 A laser cutting device for processing infrared heating tubes includes a base 1, which is generally square and its size can be selected according to the usage requirements. A support mechanism and a laser cutting mechanism are provided on the base 1.
[0024] The supporting mechanism includes slide rails I2 and II3 arranged one after the other on the top surface of the base 1. Slide rails I2 and II3 are on the same straight line. A slider I4 is slidably mounted on slide rail I2, and a slider II5 is slidably mounted on slide rail II3. Slide rails I2, II3, slider I4, and slider II5 can all be square structures. To lock sliders I4 and II5 after manual adjustment, locking blocks 6 are fixed to the side walls of both sliders I4 and II5. Locking blocks 6 are square structures with a threaded hole vertically formed on their top surface. A locking nut 7 is screwed into the threaded hole, its bottom end abutting against the top surface of slide rail I2 or slide rail II3, thus relatively locking the positions of sliders I4 and II5. Since the lengths of infrared heating tubes of the same batch are relatively uniform, the positions of sliders I4 and II5 do not need further adjustment after one adjustment. A horizontal support plate I8 is fixedly installed, and a horizontal support plate II9 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the slider II5. The horizontal support plate I8 and the horizontal support plate II9 form an approximately triangular plate structure. The top surface of the horizontal support plate I8 and the horizontal support plate II9 is provided with a bearing groove 10 for holding the heating tube to be cut. The bearing groove 10 is formed into an approximately V-shaped groove. In order to improve the accuracy of the cutting operation, a reference plate 11 is also included. The reference plate 11 is formed into an approximately square plate structure and is vertically set. The bottom end of the reference plate 11 is screwed to the top surface of the base 1 and is located next to the slide rail I2. The top end of the reference plate 11 is flush with the top end of the horizontal support plate I8. The side of the reference plate 11 facing the horizontal support plate I8 forms a cutting reference surface for contacting the end face of the heating tube 12 to be cut. The cutting reference surface is a vertical surface. Before the cutting operation, it is necessary to keep the end of the infrared heating tube to be cut against the cutting reference surface, with the cutting reference surface as the starting point of the range.
[0025] The laser cutting mechanism includes a support beam I 13 and a support beam II 14 arranged one in front of the other on the top surface of the base 1. The support beams I 13 and II 14 are vertically arranged square beams. An xy linear module 15 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the support beams I 13 and II 14. The xy linear module 15 is existing technology, and its model and specifications can be selected according to the usage requirements, such as a linear guide type linear module. The xy linear module 15 is located directly above the support mechanism. A laser cutting head 16 is installed on the xy linear module 15 to cut the heating tube 12 on the support mechanism. The laser cutting head 16 can be placed on the slider of the xy linear module 15. The laser cutting head 16 is existing technology, and its specifications and models can be selected according to the usage requirements.
[0026] To avoid pollution to the external environment during cutting operations and to improve the safety of workers, a pair of isolation covers 17 are symmetrically fixed on the top edge of the base 1. The isolation covers 17 are square shells, and a sliding door 18 is installed inside each isolation cover 17. A sliding door track 19 for the sliding door 18 to move laterally is also fixed on the top surface of the base 1 below the isolation cover 17.
[0027] When using the laser cutting equipment for processing infrared heating tubes in Example 1:
[0028] First, based on the length of the infrared heating tube to be cut, manually slide slider I4 and slider II5 to adjust the positions of horizontal support plates I8 and II9. After adjustment, use locking nut 7 to lock the positions of slider I4 and slider II5 to prevent movement during the cutting process. Then, place the infrared heating tube to be cut in the bearing groove 10 of horizontal support plates I8 and II9. Next, manually push the heating tube so that its end abuts against the cutting reference surface of the reference plate 11 as the starting point of the cutting range. Then, close the sliding door 18 inside the isolation cover 17 to ensure that the cutting area is sealed and to reduce the impact of dust and splashes generated during the cutting process on the external environment. Drive the XY linear module 15 through an external power supply to drive the laser cutting head 16 to cut the infrared heating tube to be cut. The infrared heating tube waste formed after cutting will remain on the horizontal support plate II9. After opening the sliding door 18, the cut infrared heating tube can be removed.
