Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser cutting machine technology, and in particular to a metal frame laser cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] Metal frames serve as key supporting structures in fields such as construction and machinery manufacturing. Their processing precision directly affects the overall assembly quality. Laser cutting technology, with its advantages of non-contact processing, narrow kerf, and small heat-affected zone, has become the core means for high-precision processing of metal frames. The development of specialized laser cutting equipment is of great significance for improving the level of production automation in order to meet the high-efficiency cutting needs of irregularly shaped metal frames.

[0003] Currently, most metal frame laser cutting machines adopt a structure design with a fixed fixture and a three-axis moving platform. The fixture is usually fixed by bolts or hydraulically driven pressure plates to fix the workpiece. The laser head is mounted on a cross slide and is moved horizontally by a ball screw driven by a servo motor. The cutting height is adjusted by a cylinder or motor. During the cutting process, the control system drives the laser head to perform contour cutting according to the preset path coordinates, while the auxiliary gas system removes slag.

[0004] However, traditional fixtures have significant drawbacks in the clamping process. After the workpiece is positioned, the bolts need to be rotated or the hydraulic valve needs to be operated multiple times to complete the clamping. Moreover, the clamping force depends on human experience and is prone to loosening or over-pressure deformation. Each time the workpiece is changed, the tightening and loosening operations need to be repeated, which limits production efficiency. Especially in batch processing scenarios, the clamping time may even exceed the cutting time, becoming a problem that restricts the overall efficiency of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0028] Working principle: When using this type of metal frame laser cutting machine, between the two clamping blocks 8, rotating the knob 10 drives the bidirectional lead screw 11 to rotate, causing the symmetrically distributed clamping blocks 8 to slide synchronously in the opposite direction along the slide bar 34, so that the clamping pad 9 clamps the workpiece. At this time, the spring 2 35 pushes the locking tooth 16 at the end of the connecting rod 13 to engage in the annular tooth groove 12 of the bidirectional lead screw 11 to achieve self-locking. If it is necessary to adjust the clamping force, press the handle 14 to make the locking rod 15 slide along the cross groove 17 to release the lock. Then, start the motor 5 in the base 1 to drive the small gear 4 to rotate. Through the meshing with the large gear 6 in the outer shell 3 and the torque transmission through the square hole 18, the workpiece is clamped. When the moving connecting shell 7 and the workpiece are rotated to the cutting angle, the laser gun 27 is connected through the quick-release assembly. Pressing the button 31 drives the locking block 30 to slide along the connecting rod 2 32 and compress the spring 1 33, so that the locking block 30 disengages from the slot 29 of the connecting block 2 28, and the laser gun 27 can be disassembled or installed. After releasing the button 31, the spring 1 33 automatically resets and locks. During cutting, the motor 2 22 drives the spur gear 24 to rotate. Through the meshing of the rack 23 on the bridge 19 connected to the frame 2, the slider 21 at the bottom of the moving block 36 moves along the slide rail 20. At the same time, the hydraulic rod 26 adjusts the height of the connecting block 1 25 to achieve three-dimensional precise positioning of the laser gun 27.
