Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe manufacturing technology, and specifically to a condensate pipe cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the fields of HVAC and refrigeration equipment, condensate pipes are key components for transporting condensate. Their processing precision and production efficiency directly affect the assembly quality and manufacturing cost of the entire machine. Condensate pipes are typically made of PVC, PPR, or metal and need to be cut to specific lengths according to the installation scenario. The cuts must be smooth and burr-free to ensure the sealing of subsequent connections.

[0003] The current condensate pipe cutting process mainly relies on traditional cutting equipment, which has the following significant drawbacks:

[0004] 1. Outdated material feeding methods and high reliance on manual labor:

[0005] Traditional equipment requires manual lifting and placing of a single water pipe to the cutting station. For long water pipes, multiple people need to work together, which is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to problems such as pipe tilting and end alignment deviation when placed manually.

[0006] 2. Poor positioning and clamping adaptability, making it difficult to guarantee accuracy:

[0007] The positioning mechanisms of existing cutting devices are mostly of fixed size and can only be adapted to water pipes of a single diameter. When processing water pipes of different specifications, it is necessary to disassemble and replace the clamping components, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0008] This invention provides a condensate pipe cutting device to solve the problems of the prior art.

[0009] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: A condensate pipe cutting device, comprising: a feeding mechanism and a cutting mechanism, wherein the feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame and a feeding cylinder disposed on the side end of the feeding frame, a feeding groove is disposed on the side end of the feeding frame, a feeding push plate is fixedly disposed at the end of the piston rod of the feeding cylinder, the feeding push plate is slidably disposed in the feeding groove, the cutting mechanism includes a cutting frame, a positioning module and a cutting module, a cutting groove is disposed on the cutting frame, two sets of positioning modules are disposed symmetrically on both sides of the cutting groove and each set includes a positioning plate and a positioning cylinder, the positioning plate is disposed on the side end of the cutting frame, the positioning cylinder is disposed corresponding to the positioning plate and a limit plate is disposed at the end of its piston rod, the cutting module includes a lifting mechanism disposed on the cutting frame and a cutting motor disposed on the lifting mechanism, a cutting blade is drivenly disposed on the output end of the cutting motor, and the cutting blade is disposed corresponding to the cutting groove.

[0010] In a further improvement, the cutting frame is equipped with a pushing mechanism, which includes a first pushing cylinder, a slide rail, a second pushing cylinder, a first pushing block, and a second pushing block. The first pushing cylinder is located between the feeding mechanism and the cutting module. Two sets of slide rails are symmetrically arranged. The second pushing cylinder is fixedly located at the end of the piston rod of the first pushing cylinder and is slidably located on one set of slide rails via a sliding member. The first pushing block is fixedly located at the end of the piston rod of the second pushing cylinder. The second pushing block is slidably located on the other set of slide rails via a sliding member and slides synchronously with the first pushing block via a connecting member.

[0011] In a further improvement, the upper end of the feeding rack is inclined toward one side of the feeding trough.

[0012] A further improvement involves installing a limiting plate on the feeding rack. The distance between the limiting plate and the left end of the feeding rack is 'a', and the distance between the left end of the feeding trough and the left end of the feeding rack is 'b', satisfying the quantitative relationship: a <b。

[0013] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model has the following advantages: The present utility model achieves automatic feeding of condensate pipes through a feeding mechanism, eliminating the need for manual pushing, significantly reducing manpower input and improving feeding efficiency; the positioning module adopts a combination structure of a fixed positioning plate and a movable limiting plate, which can flexibly adapt to the clamping requirements of water pipes of different diameters, significantly improving the equipment's adaptability to diverse specifications of materials. Two symmetrically arranged positioning modules clamp the water pipes simultaneously from both sides, ensuring stable positioning during the cutting process, effectively reducing cutting offset, improving cutting accuracy, ensuring subsequent assembly quality, and enhancing the practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0021] The following is a description of the embodiments and appendices. Figures 1-4 The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below.

[0022] Example 1

[0023] A condensate pipe cutting device includes: a feeding mechanism 1 and a cutting mechanism 2. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding frame 11 and a feeding cylinder 12 disposed on the side of the feeding frame 11. A feeding groove 111 is provided on the side of the feeding frame 11. A feeding push plate 121 is fixedly disposed at the end of the piston rod of the feeding cylinder 12. The feeding push plate 121 is slidably disposed in the feeding groove 111. The cutting mechanism 2 includes a cutting frame 21, a positioning module 22, and a cutting module 23. The cutting frame 21 is provided with a cutting groove 211. The positioning module 22 is provided with two sets of positioning modules. Group 22 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cutting groove 211 and each includes a positioning plate 221 and a positioning cylinder 222. The positioning plate 221 is arranged on the side of the cutting frame 21. The positioning cylinder 222 is arranged correspondingly to the positioning plate 221 and a limit plate 2221 is provided at the end of its piston rod. The cutting module 23 includes a lifting mechanism 231 arranged on the cutting frame 21 and a cutting motor 232 arranged on the lifting mechanism 231. A cutting blade 2321 is driven on the output end of the cutting motor 232. The cutting blade 2321 is arranged correspondingly to the cutting groove 211.

[0024] like Figures 1-4 As shown, in actual use, the condensate pipe to be cut is first placed parallel to the loading trough 111, aligning one end of the pipe with the limiting end of the loading trough 111. The loading cylinder 12 is then activated, its piston rod extends and drives the loading push plate 121 to slide along the loading trough 111, pushing the pipe toward the cutting mechanism 2 until the front end of the pipe exceeds the edge of the cutting groove 211, at which point the loading cylinder 12 stops operating.

[0025] Secondly, the two sets of positioning cylinders 222 are activated simultaneously, and the piston rods extend to push the limiting plate 2221 closer to the positioning plate 221 until the rubber buffer pad on the inner side of the positioning plate 221 is in close contact with the outer wall of the water pipe. At this time, the water pipe is firmly clamped directly above the cutting groove 211, and its axis remains perpendicular to the cutting blade 2321, effectively preventing deviation during cutting.

[0026] Next, the lifting mechanism 231 drives the cutting motor 232 to descend, while the cutting blade 2321 rotates at high speed. When the cutting blade 2321 contacts the water pipe, it gradually cuts in vertically until the water pipe is completely cut off. During the cutting process, the flying debris falls into the cutting groove 211 and is eventually collected in the waste collection box below.

[0027] After cutting is completed, the lifting mechanism 231 drives the cutting motor 232 to rise and reset, and the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 222 retracts to release the water pipe. The feeding push plate 121 continues to push the remaining water pipe forward, repeating the above positioning-cutting process until the entire water pipe is cut.

[0028] The condensate pipes are automatically fed via the feeding mechanism 1, eliminating the need for manual pushing, significantly reducing labor input and improving feeding efficiency. The positioning module 22 adopts a combination structure of a fixed positioning plate and a movable limiting plate, which can flexibly adapt to the clamping requirements of water pipes of different diameters, significantly improving the equipment's adaptability to diverse material specifications. Two symmetrically arranged positioning modules 22 clamp the water pipes simultaneously from both sides, ensuring stable positioning during the cutting process, effectively reducing cutting offset, improving cutting accuracy, ensuring subsequent assembly quality, and enhancing the practicality and reliability of the equipment.

[0029] As a further preferred embodiment, the cutting frame 21 is provided with a pushing mechanism 3. The pushing mechanism 3 includes a pushing cylinder 31, a slide rail 32, a pushing cylinder 33, a pushing block 34, and a pushing block 35. The pushing cylinder 31 is disposed between the feeding mechanism 1 and the cutting module 23. Two sets of slide rails 32 are symmetrically arranged. The pushing cylinder 33 is fixedly disposed at the end of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 31 and is slidably disposed on one set of slide rails 32 through a sliding member. The pushing block 34 is fixedly disposed at the end of the piston rod of the pushing cylinder 33. The pushing block 35 is slidably disposed on the other set of slide rails 32 through a sliding member and slides synchronously with the pushing block 34 through a connecting member.

[0030] Specifically, when the feeding mechanism 1 pushes the pipe to the cutting mechanism 2, a sensor signal is triggered, and the piston rod of the second pushing cylinder 33 extends, driving the first pushing block 34 to move towards the second pushing block 35, so that the pipe is firmly clamped between the first pushing block 34 and the second pushing block 35. Subsequently, the first pushing cylinder 31 is activated, driving the second pushing cylinder 33 to move along the slide rail 32 towards the cutting module 23. Through the guiding effect of the two sets of slide rails, the pipe is accurately delivered to the cutting position, ensuring the accuracy of the pipe cutting position and providing a stable foundation for subsequent cutting processes.

[0031] As a further preferred embodiment, the upper end of the feeding rack 11 is inclined toward one side of the feeding trough 111.

[0032] Specifically, by utilizing gravity, the condensate pipe placed on the feeding rack 11 naturally slides towards the feeding trough 111 under its own weight until the edge of the pipe is in contact with the inner wall of the feeding trough 111. This reduces the need for manual adjustment of the pipe's position and ensures that the pipe is initially aligned with the feeding trough 111 before being pushed by the feeding pusher plate 121. This avoids jamming during the pushing process due to the pipe being misaligned, while also reducing the pushing resistance of the feeding pusher plate 121 and improving feeding efficiency and stability.

[0033] As a further preferred embodiment, a limiting plate 112 is provided on the feeding rack 11. The distance between the limiting plate 112 and the left end of the feeding rack 11 is a, and the distance between the left end of the feeding trough 111 and the left end of the feeding rack 11 is b, satisfying the quantitative relationship: a <b。

[0034] Specifically, the water pipe is limited by the limiting plate 112 to prevent it from shifting on the feeding rack 11.

[0035] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
