With the continuous development and technological innovation of various industries, increasingly stringent requirements have been placed on the processing precision, cutting quality, and production efficiency of metal tubing.

[0003] When cutting pipes, a laser pipe cutter is used. It uses a high-energy-density laser beam to irradiate the surface of the pipe, causing the irradiated part of the pipe to melt, vaporize or reach the ignition point. At the same time, a high-speed airflow coaxial with the laser beam blows away the molten material, thereby achieving the cutting and separation of the pipe.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a feeding bracket for a laser tube cutting machine, including a stiffener 1, and a feeding support assembly 2 is installed on the surface of the stiffener 1;

[0026] The feeding support assembly 2 includes a support column 21. The support column 21 is installed on the upper surface of the stiffening plate 1. A flat bearing seat 22 is installed at the top of the support column 21. A flat bearing 23 is installed inside the flat bearing seat 22. A bearing pressure plate 24 is attached to the upper surface of the flat bearing 23. A fixed seat 26 is provided above the support column 21. A pin 27 is installed on the surface of the fixed seat 26. A support arm 28 is rotatably connected to the surface of the pin 27. A rotating shaft 25 is installed on the surface of the flat bearing 23. One end of the rotating shaft 25 passes through the bearing pressure plate 24 and is connected to the fixed seat 26. The other end of the rotating shaft 25 passes through the bearing pressure plate 24 and is rotatably connected to the inside of the support column 21. A stabilizing component 3 is installed on the surface of the fixed seat 26. This assembly facilitates the feeding and support of pipes, making it convenient for employees to feed materials and preventing pipes from falling directly from the storage rack during the feeding process.

[0027] Specifically, a limiting plate 29 is installed on the surface of the fixed base 26. The limiting plate 29 fits against the support arm 28, thereby limiting the position of the support arm 28 and further improving the performance of the device.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the stabilizing component 3 includes a positioning pin 31. The positioning pin 31 is slidably connected in a groove on the surface of the fixed base 26. One end of the positioning pin 31 passes through the fixed base 26 and is inserted into a hole on the surface of the support arm 28. A connecting plate 32 is installed on one side surface of the fixed base 26. A positioning plate 33 is installed on the upper end surface of the support column 21. A stabilizing rod 34 is slidably connected in a through hole on the surface of the connecting plate 32. One end of the stabilizing rod 34 passes through the connecting plate 32 and is inserted into a stabilizing hole on the surface of the positioning plate 33. This allows for the stabilization of the position of the support arm 28, preventing the support arm 28 from shifting during the feeding process and causing the pipe to fall, thereby further improving the overall stability during use.

[0029] Furthermore, the surface of the support arm 28 is provided with several insertion holes, which are arranged in a circular array around the center point of the pin shaft 27. The surface of the positioning disk 33 is provided with several stabilizing holes, which are arranged in a circular array around the center point of the positioning disk 33. This allows for positioning processing according to the different positions of the support arm 28, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the other end of the positioning pin 31 passes through the fixed base 26 and extends to the outside of the fixed base 26, so that the operator can easily pull the positioning pin 31.

[0031] It is worth noting that a limiting plate 35 is installed on the surface of the positioning pin 31. The limiting plate 35 is slidably connected in a groove opened on the surface of the fixed base 26, thereby limiting the movement position of the positioning pin 31.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a return spring 36 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning pin 31. One end of the return spring 36 is connected to the limiting plate 35, and the other end of the return spring 36 is installed in the groove opened on the surface of the fixed base 26, so as to facilitate the reset of the positioning pin 31 and allow the positioning pin 31 to be re-inserted into the insertion hole opened on the surface of the fixed base 26.

[0033] Working principle and process: The pipe to be cut is placed on the support surface of the support arm 28. The tilt angle of the support arm 28 (pre-limited by the limiting plate 29) is used to keep the pipe stable. If the pipe is long, multiple feeding brackets can be arranged side by side to form continuous support.

[0034] When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the support arm 28, first pull the stabilizer bar 34 so that the stabilizer bar 34 disengages from the stabilizer hole on the surface of the positioning plate 33. Then manually push the fixed seat 26, and drive the fixed seat 26 to rotate on the support column 21 through the plane bearing 23 and the rotating shaft 25 to adjust the circumferential angle of the support arm 28 and align it with the feeding direction of the laser tube cutter.

[0035] To adjust the tilt angle of the support arm 28 (to accommodate different pipe diameters or feeding heights), first pull out the positioning pin 31. At this time, the limiting plate 35 slides in the groove, thereby compressing the return spring 36, allowing the support arm 28 to swing freely around the pin shaft 27. After adjusting to the target angle, release the positioning pin 31 and reinsert the support arm 28 into the corresponding insertion hole under the action of the return spring 36 (the insertion holes are distributed in a circumferential array to achieve graded angle adjustment).

[0036] After adjustment, push the stabilizer bar 34 into the corresponding stabilizing hole of the positioning plate 33 (the stabilizing holes are distributed in a circumferential array and match the rotation angle of the fixed base 26) to lock the rotation position of the fixed base 26 and prevent shaking during the feeding process;

[0037] Furthermore, the distance between the storage rack and the machine is small, and the trolley shuttles back and forth on the machine. At the same time, the employees also need to pass through the narrow passage. The fixed seat 26 and the support arm 28 can be adjusted. If they interfere with the moving trolley, they can be moved to a different position. At the same time, the employees can lift it up to pass through, which facilitates processing, improves efficiency, and reduces safety hazards.

[0038] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
