Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sheet metal processing equipment, and more specifically, to a cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum sheets, as a lightweight and high-strength metal material, are widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, architectural decoration, and electronics industries. Panel saws, as indispensable processing equipment in modern light industry, are widely used in furniture manufacturing, architectural decoration, and woodworking, primarily for cutting aluminum sheets and other sheet materials to suitable sizes. Laser panel saws, which utilize laser technology for material cutting and slicing, have seen widespread application in recent years.

[0003] A cutting machine, as disclosed in application number CN202120757179.0, includes a bed, on which a gantry frame guided by an X-axis guide rail is mounted. A support frame is also mounted on the top of the bed. Several limiting cylinders are fixed to the first, second, and third sides of the support frame, respectively. The limiting cylinders are vertically installed with their output ends facing upwards. The first, second, and third sides of the support frame are sequentially connected. This utility model, with its support frame and limiting cylinders, ensures that the material's position remains consistent each time it is fed.

[0004] In the actual cutting process, waste chips are generated, which fall into the holes of the support frame. In order to reduce the amount of chips falling on the table, an aluminum plate is placed to raise the support frame, which affects the cutting accuracy. However, the waste chips falling into the holes of the support frame are difficult to clean, and each hole needs to be cleaned, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0029] In this utility model, "first" and "second" do not represent a specific quantity or order, but are merely used to distinguish names.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, a cutting machine according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a bed 1, a gantry frame 2, and a cutting device 3. The gantry frame 2 is mounted on the bed 1 and is slidably installed on the bed 1. The cutting device 3 is a laser cutter, which is prior art and will not be described in detail here. A sliding frame 21 is slidably installed on the gantry frame 2 in the X-axis direction. The cutting device 3 is installed on the sliding frame 21. The gantry frame 2 is equipped with a first drive assembly 4 for driving the sliding frame 21 to slide. The sliding frame 21 is equipped with a second drive assembly 5 for driving the cutting device 3 to move in the Z-axis direction. The bed 1 is equipped with a third drive assembly 6 for driving the gantry frame 2 to move in the X-axis direction.

[0031] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the bed 1 has a collection groove 11 with an opening at the top. A bracket 12 is mounted at the opening of the bed 1. The bracket 12 is a frame with several through holes evenly distributed. A mounting groove 13 is provided on one side of the bottom of the collection groove 11. The mounting groove 13 extends in the X-axis direction and a collection box 7 with an opening at the top is installed in the mounting groove 13. A drawout 14 is provided at one end of the mounting groove 13 and at the end position corresponding to the end of the collection box 7. The drawout 14 is the same size as the end face of the collection box 7. The bottom of the collection groove 11 is an inclined surface 15. The inclined surface 15 is set downwards from the side away from the mounting groove 13 toward the mounting groove 13. Thus, the waste generated during the cutting process will fall into the collection groove 11 from the through holes of the bracket 12. Then, guided by the inclined surface 15, the waste will slide into the collection box 7. The processing personnel only need to pull out the collection box 7 from the drawout 14 periodically for cleaning, which is highly efficient.

[0032] The mounting groove 13 extends from the side near the inclined surface 15 toward the higher side of the inclined surface 15 to form a clearance section 16. The collection box 7 is the same width as the mounting groove 13, and the lower side of the inclined surface 15 extends to the position directly above the opening of the collection box 7, thereby preventing debris from falling onto the edge of the opening of the collection box 7.

[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 The collection box 7 includes several sub-boxes 71, each sub-box 71 being a rectangular box. The sub-boxes 71 are spaced apart in the X-axis direction, and adjacent sub-boxes 71 are detachably connected by connectors. The connectors include dovetail blocks 72. The dovetail blocks 72 are fixedly installed at the middle of the outer wall of one end of the sub-box 71, and a dovetail groove 73 is opened at the middle of the outer wall of the other end. Both the dovetail blocks 72 and the dovetail groove 73 extend in the Z-axis direction. The dovetail blocks 72 of one sub-box 71 are slidably installed in the dovetail groove 73 of the adjacent sub-box 71. Thus, after pulling out a distance equal to the length of one sub-box 71, the sub-box 71 can be slid upward away from the adjacent sub-box 71, thereby achieving the goal of cleaning the longer collection box 7 in sections and improving cleaning convenience.

[0034] Furthermore, the bed 1 has a push-in port 17 at the end away from the draw-out port 14 and corresponding to the collection box 7, so that when a sub-box 71 is cleaned, it can be pushed back into the mounting slot 13 from the push-in port 17, improving the convenience of disassembly and assembly; a pair of receiving slots 74 are provided at the end of the sub-box 71 near the draw-out port 14. The receiving slots 74 are located on both sides of the dovetail block 72, and each receiving slot 74 is equipped with a handle 75, so as to facilitate pulling out the collection box 7.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 An inclined plate 18 is installed on the inclined surface 15. The inclined plate 18 is inclined in the direction of the inclined surface 15. The end of the inclined plate 18 near the mounting groove 13 is hinged to the bed 1. The bed 1 is equipped with a first driving member 19 for driving the inclined plate 18 to rotate. Several first driving members 19 are spaced apart in the X-axis direction. The first driving member 19 includes a push cylinder 191 and a sliding block 192. The sliding block 192 is slidably installed on the bottom of the inclined plate 18 at the end away from the hinge in the direction of the inclined plate 18. The push cylinder 191 is fixedly installed on the bed 1 and located directly below the inclined plate 18. The piston rod of the push cylinder 191 extends and retracts in the Z-axis direction. The piston rod of the push cylinder 191 is hinged to the sliding block 192. Thus, before pulling out the collection box 7, each push cylinder 191 can be started simultaneously to push the inclined plate 18 to rotate repeatedly, so that the waste left on the inclined plate 18 can be smoothly slid into the collection box 7.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 6 The first drive assembly 4 includes a rack 41, a gear 42, and a second drive member 43. The rack 41 is fixedly mounted on the gantry 2 and extends in the X-axis direction. The gear 42 is rotatably mounted on the sliding frame 21 and meshes with the rack 41. The second drive member 43 is a motor and is fixedly mounted on the sliding frame 21. The output shaft of the second drive member 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the gear 42. Thus, the sliding frame 21 can be driven to slide in the X-axis direction.

[0037] The structure and working principle of the second drive component 5 and the third drive component 6 are the same as those of the first drive component 4, and will not be described again here.

[0038] The implementation principle of a cutting machine according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: During the cutting process, the waste generated will fall into the collection trough 11 from the hole of the bracket 12, and then, guided by the inclined plate 18, the waste will spontaneously slide into the collection box 7 for collection; after a period of time, each push cylinder 191 is started simultaneously to drive the inclined plate 18 to rotate repeatedly, so that the waste left on the inclined plate 18 can be smoothly slid into the collection box 7. The collection box 7 can be pulled out from the extraction port 14, and then the sub-boxes 71 can be cleaned one by one.

[0039] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0040] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
