[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the cutting equipment provided in this application includes a housing, an oil-water separator, and a transparent protective door panel, wherein...

[0007] The oil-water separator is fixedly installed inside the outer casing of the cutting equipment;

[0008] The transparent protective door panel has an open position that exposes the oil-water separator and a closed position that protects the oil-water separator. When the transparent protective door panel is in the closed position, it is installed on the outer shell of the cutting equipment.

[0009] In some embodiments, the cutting device further includes an oil-water separator support;

[0010] The oil-water separator bracket is fixedly installed inside the outer casing of the cutting equipment and is used to house the oil-water separator.

[0011] In some embodiments, the oil-water separator support is provided with a limiting groove;

[0012] The limiting groove cooperates with the limiting bolt to fix the oil-water separator to the oil-water separator bracket.

[0013] In some embodiments, the depth of the limiting groove is adapted to the axial length of the oil-water separator.

[0014] In some embodiments, the end face of the oil-water separator bracket is provided with mounting holes;

It should also be understood that when the terms “comprise” and / or “comprising” are used in this specification, the presence of the stated feature, integer, element, and / or part is established, but the presence or addition of one or more other features, integers, elements, parts, and / or groups is not excluded.

[0044] Currently, plasma cutting equipment on the market typically places the oil-water separator, along with its inlet and outlet gas pipes and mounting brackets, as a single separation center component at the rear of the equipment. However, this structure leaves the oil-water separator completely exposed, making it susceptible to damage during use.

[0045] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings, this application provides a cutting device that can provide effective visual protection for oil-water separators, and is simple and easy to operate. Its details will be described in subsequent embodiments.

[0046] For example, the cutting equipment involved in this application may include a plasma cutter or a laser cutter, etc., but is not limited to these. This application uses a plasma cutter as an example for illustration.

[0047] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The cutting equipment provided in this application may specifically include a housing 210, an oil-water separator 130, and a transparent protective door panel 120.

[0048] The oil-water separator 130 is fixedly installed inside the housing 210 of the cutting equipment; the transparent protective door 120 has an open position that exposes the oil-water separator 130 and a closed position that protects the oil-water separator 130. When the transparent protective door 120 is in the closed position, it is installed on the housing 210 of the cutting equipment.

[0049] The aforementioned cutting equipment, by setting a transparent protective door 120, can provide effective visual protection for the oil-water separator 130 in the closed position, thereby blocking splashes and dust from entering and preventing the oil-water separator 130 from being damaged during use due to being completely exposed.

[0050] Meanwhile, since the protective door is transparent, the operator can observe the usage and working status of the oil-water separator 130 in real time through the transparent protective door 120. For example, the usage of the filter element can be confirmed without opening any parts, thereby reducing the number of operation steps, improving the ease of operation of the equipment, and saving installation time and labor costs.

[0051] In the above-mentioned cutting equipment, the transparent protective door panel 120 has a simple and reliable structure. When disassembling or replacing it, it is only necessary to switch the transparent protective door panel 120 to the open position to free up operating space. The steps are simple and easy to implement.

[0052] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, the cutting device may also include an oil-water separator bracket 110.

[0053] The oil-water separator bracket 110 is fixedly installed inside the housing 210 of the cutting equipment and is used to house the oil-water separator 130.

[0054] Please continue reading. Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the oil-water separator bracket 110 may be provided with a limiting groove 111, which cooperates with the limiting bolt to fix the oil-water separator 130 on the oil-water separator bracket 110.

[0055] In the above embodiment, the oil-water separator bracket 110 uses the engagement of the limiting groove 111 and the limiting bolt to radially position the oil-water separator 130 within the groove, and the limiting bolt securely fixes the oil-water separator 130. When installing or removing the oil-water separator 130, only the limiting bolt needs to be removed to axially pull the oil-water separator 130 out along the groove opening, without needing to disassemble the equipment casing, thus significantly reducing operational complexity and maintenance time.

[0056] As an example, the depth of the limiting groove 111 can be adapted to the axial length of the oil-water separator 130. In this way, the entire axial direction of the oil-water separator 130 can be fully accommodated by the limiting groove 111, so as to securely fix the oil-water separator 130 and prevent it from loosening due to vibration.

[0057] Please continue reading. Figure 3 In some embodiments, the end face of the oil-water separator bracket 110 is provided with a mounting hole 112. Mounting bolts pass through the mounting hole 112 to fix the oil-water separator bracket 110 to the inside of the housing 210 of the cutting equipment.

[0058] In the above embodiment, the oil-water separator bracket 110 has a mounting hole 112 directly provided on its end face. The mounting bolts only need to pass through the mounting hole 112 to lock the oil-water separator bracket 110 into the inner side of the outer casing 210 of the cutting equipment. During disassembly, the oil-water separator bracket 110 can be removed entirely by simply loosening the mounting bolts, without disassembling the outer casing of the equipment. This further reduces the complexity of operation and improves the ease of disassembly and assembly of the equipment.

[0059] As an example, the transparent protective door panel 120 includes a transparent plastic protective door panel. Transparent plastic is lightweight and impact-resistant, and using a transparent plastic protective door panel as the transparent protective door panel 120 helps to reduce the weight of the door panel and lower manufacturing and assembly costs.

[0060] Please see Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the transparent protective door panel 120 is provided with an air inlet 121, which is used to expose the air inlet connector 131 of the oil-water separator 130.

[0061] In the above embodiment, when the transparent protective door 120 is in the closed protective state, the external air passage can still be connected to the air inlet connector 131 through the air inlet hole 121, and the air intake function can be realized without opening the transparent protective door 120. As a result, the process of frequently opening and closing the transparent protective door 120 is eliminated, further improving the overall operational convenience of the cutting equipment.

[0062] In some embodiments, the transparent protective door panel 120 has a fixed side, which is rotatably connected to the housing 210 of the cutting equipment.

[0063] Please continue reading. Figure 5 In some embodiments, a metal rotating shaft 122 is provided on the fixed side of the transparent protective door panel 120. The metal rotating shaft 122 is located in the movable groove of the cutting equipment, and a torsion spring 123 is sleeved on the metal rotating shaft 122.

[0064] In the aforementioned cutting equipment, one arm of the torsion spring 123 is connected to the cutting equipment, and the other arm of the torsion spring 123 is connected to the transparent protective door panel 120. Thus, when the transparent protective door panel 120 is opened, the spring force of the torsion spring 123 drives the transparent protective door panel 120 to automatically spring open to the open position around the metal pivot 122, eliminating the need for continuous manual force application. This improves maintenance efficiency and enhances user experience.

[0065] This application does not specifically limit the material of the metal shaft 122. As an example, the metal shaft 122 may be a stainless steel metal shaft.

[0066] Please continue reading. Figure 2 In some embodiments, when the transparent protective door panel 120 is in the closed position protecting the oil-water separator 130, the self-locking mechanism 140 closes and limits the transparent protective door panel 120 on the free side.

[0067] As an example, the self-locking mechanism 140 may include a push-button resilient self-locking latch. The push-button resilient self-locking latch is disposed on the cutting device and includes a slot; the latch's bolt has both a locked and an unlocked state. A hook is provided on the free side of the transparent protective door panel 120, and the hook mates with the slot of the push-button resilient self-locking latch.

[0068] In the aforementioned cutting equipment, when the transparent protective door panel 120 is in the closed position protecting the oil-water separator 130, the hook of the transparent protective door panel 120 engages with the slot of the push-type elastic self-locking latch, so that the latch of the push-type elastic self-locking latch automatically switches from the unlocked state to the locked state.

[0069] The above embodiment utilizes a push-button elastic self-locking latch, requiring no additional operation; closure and locking can be completed solely through the transparent protective door panel 120, making it convenient to use. Furthermore, the push-button elastic self-locking latch has a simple and reliable structure, effectively avoiding component wear and stress concentration problems caused by frequent operation in traditional locking mechanisms, thus helping to extend the overall service life of the cutting equipment.

[0070] In other embodiments, the transparent protective door panel 120 is provided with an adsorption component on the side facing the housing 210 of the cutting equipment; when the transparent protective door panel 120 is in the closed position, the adsorption component is adsorbed onto the housing 210 of the cutting equipment.

[0071] 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 of 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.

[0072] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
