Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of waterjet technology, and in particular to a floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjuster of a waterjet cutter head. Background Technology
[0002] The floating detection ring device on the waterjet cutter head real-time height adjuster, as an important component of the automation and intelligence of waterjet cutting, is mainly used to realize the automatic detection and real-time adjustment of the distance between the waterjet cutter head and the workpiece surface. With the continuous improvement of the manufacturing industry's requirements for high precision, high efficiency and automated production, the distance adjustment between the cutter head and the workpiece surface in the traditional waterjet cutting process mostly relies on manual experience or simple mechanical limits. This has defects such as cumbersome operation, slow response, easy wear, and difficulty in guaranteeing accuracy, making it difficult to meet the needs of complex curved surfaces or high-precision machining.
[0003] Conventional waterjet cutter head real-time height adjustment floating detection ring devices often lack a reliable isolation connection between the felt and the fixed block. This leads to the fixed block easily coming into direct contact with other components or workpiece surfaces during processing, resulting in wear, reduced service life of key components, increased maintenance frequency and costs. Conventional structures typically lack a dedicated air supply pipe, making it difficult to efficiently remove residues from the processed surface. This causes impurities to accumulate in the detection area, affecting detection sensitivity and system stability. Traditional fixed block structures are mostly rigid connections without V-grooves on the upper surface, which limits the waterjet cutter head's lateral adjustment space. This makes it difficult to adapt to angle changes on complex or irregular workpiece surfaces, limiting the equipment's adjustment margin and thus affecting processing adaptability and final cutting quality. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjustment device for a waterjet cutter head. It reliably connects to a fixed block via a felt locating groove, effectively preventing direct contact between the fixed block and other components or workpiece surfaces during processing. This prevents wear on the fixed block and extends the service life of key components. An air supply pipe located on the inner surface of the second connecting groove accurately blows gas onto the processing surface, promptly dispersing residue generated during processing, ensuring the cleanliness of the detection area, and improving detection sensitivity and stability. A V-shaped groove on the upper surface of the fixed block provides a 5° left-right fine-tuning space for the waterjet cutter head, giving the device a certain adjustment margin to adapt to minute angle changes on different workpiece surfaces, improving processing adaptability and quality.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjuster of a water jet cutter head is provided, comprising: a height adjuster; a mating block is fixedly connected to the output end of the height adjuster; connecting blocks are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the mating block; positioning bolts are threaded to the side walls of the connecting blocks; fixing blocks are threaded to the outer surfaces of the positioning bolts; felt is fixedly connected to the fixing blocks via positioning grooves; first connecting grooves are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the fixing blocks; a second connecting groove is formed on the upper surface of the felt; an air supply pipe is provided on the inner surface of the second connecting groove; and a V-groove is formed on the upper surface of the fixing blocks. This device features a compact structure, good sealing performance, and effectively improves durability and detection stability.
[0006] According to the aforementioned floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjuster of a water jet cutter head, the fixing block is located inside the mating block, and the felt is located on the lower surface of the fixing block. This protects the internal components of the device, extends the life of critical components, and maintains clean operation.
[0007] According to the aforementioned floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjustment device for a water jet cutter head, the interiors of the first connecting groove and the second connecting groove are connected, and the interior of the second connecting groove is connected to the lower surface of the felt. This ensures smooth airflow transmission, improves detection sensitivity and response speed, and optimizes detection results.
[0008] According to the floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjuster of a waterjet cutter head, the V-groove extends to the lower surface of the fixed block, and the interior of the V-groove is connected to the outer surface of the fixed block. This achieves efficient airflow discharge while providing a 5° fine-tuning space, enhancing processing adaptability.
[0009] According to the floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjustment device for a water jet cutter head, there are two air supply pipes, which are located above the second connecting groove. This ensures uniform airflow distribution, timely removal of residue, and improved cleanliness and sensitivity of the detection area.
[0010] The above-mentioned solution has the following beneficial effects: This invention comprises a mating block, a connecting block, a positioning bolt, a fixing block, a positioning groove, a felt, a first connecting groove, a second connecting groove, an air supply pipe, and a V-groove. The felt is reliably connected to the fixing block via the positioning groove, effectively preventing direct contact between the fixing block and other components or workpiece surfaces during processing. This prevents wear on the fixing block and extends the service life of key components. The air supply pipe, located on the inner surface of the second connecting groove, accurately blows gas onto the processing surface, promptly dispersing residue generated during processing, ensuring the cleanliness of the detection area, and improving detection sensitivity and stability. The V-groove on the upper surface of the fixing block provides a 5° fine-tuning space for the waterjet cutter head, giving the equipment a certain adjustment margin to adapt to minute angle changes on different workpiece surfaces, improving processing adaptability and quality.

[0014] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0015] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a floating detection ring device for a real-time height adjuster on a water jet cutter head. It includes: a height adjuster 1, with a mating block 10 fixedly connected to the output end of the height adjuster 1. The mating block 10 serves as a connecting hub, accurately transmitting the displacement of the height adjuster 1 to subsequent structures, ensuring overall assembly stability and response speed. Connecting blocks 11 are fixedly connected to both sides of the lower surface of the mating block 10. The connecting blocks 11 act as a bridge between the mating block 10 and the positioning bolts 5, ensuring a firm connection between components and improving sensing accuracy. Positioning bolts 5 are threadedly connected to the side walls of the connecting blocks 11. The positioning bolts 5 achieve an adjustable connection between the connecting blocks 11 and the fixing blocks 2 through threaded fastening, facilitating assembly and subsequent maintenance adjustments. Fixing blocks 2 are threadedly connected to the outer surface of the positioning bolts 5. The fixing blocks 2 can be precisely fixed in an ideal position through threaded adjustment of the positioning bolts 5, ensuring a tight fit of the floating detection ring device structure. The fixing blocks 2 are fixedly connected via positioning grooves 4. The device is equipped with felt 6, which is reliably positioned with the fixing block 2 using the positioning groove 4, improving the sealing and dustproof performance of the device and ensuring the sensitivity of the detection ring. The upper surface of the fixing block 2 has first connecting grooves 8 on both the left and right sides. The first connecting grooves 8 provide channels for the internal and external communication of the subsequent air path and the detection ring structure, facilitating gas flow and signal transmission. The upper surface of the felt 6 has a second connecting groove 9, which corresponds to the first connecting groove 8 to form a continuous channel, enhancing the continuity of gas delivery and detection feedback. The inner surface of the second connecting groove 9 is provided with a gas delivery pipe 7, which is embedded in the inner surface of the second connecting groove 9 to achieve precise gas introduction into the processing area, timely cleaning of processing residue, keeping the detection area clean, and improving detection sensitivity and system stability. The upper surface of the fixing block 2 has a V-shaped groove 3, which provides a 5° fine-tuning space for the water jet cutter head, enabling the device to adapt to small angle changes on the workpiece surface, improving processing flexibility and processing quality.
[0016] The fixing block 2 is located inside the mating block 10. The fixing block 2 is embedded within the mating block 10, resulting in a more compact overall structure that effectively protects internal components and enhances strength. The felt 6 is located on the lower surface of the fixing block 2, adhering to its underside to effectively isolate external impurities and ensure the cleanliness and sensitive response of the detection ring device. The first connecting groove 8 and the second connecting groove 9 are internally connected, forming an integrated airflow channel that allows gas to be smoothly transmitted to key parts of the floating detection ring, achieving efficient fluid detection. The interior of the second connecting groove 9 is connected to the lower surface of the felt 6. This structure ensures that gas acts directly from the second connecting groove 9 onto the area below the felt 6, improving efficiency. To enhance the sensitivity and response speed of the detection ring, the V-groove 3 extends to the lower surface of the fixed block 2. This extension provides more space for gas discharge and flow, preventing airflow blockage and improving the reliability of the detection device. The interior of the V-groove 3 is connected to the outer surface of the fixed block 2, facilitating internal water jet angle adjustment. There are two gas supply pipes 7. The dual gas supply pipe 7 design enhances the uniformity and redundancy of gas flow, improving the stability and reliability of the floating detection ring device. The gas supply pipes 7 are located above the second connecting groove 9. This arrangement helps to effectively distribute the gas and fully act on the felt area below, enhancing the detection effect.
[0017] Working principle: First, the output end of the height adjuster 1 is fixedly connected to the mating block 10 to ensure that the height adjuster 1 can accurately transmit the real-time height adjustment signal to the downstream structure through the mating block 10. The connecting block 11 is fixed on both sides of the lower surface of the mating block 10, serving as an intermediate connecting part to prepare for the subsequent installation of the positioning bolt 5. The positioning bolt 5 is threaded onto the side wall of the connecting block 11. By adjusting the position of the positioning bolt 5, the fixing block 2 is accurately positioned and tightened. The fixing block 2 is then securely fixed in the designated position by the threaded connection on the outer surface of the positioning bolt 5. The installation of the fixing block 2 ensures a tight fit of the overall structure, providing a good mounting base for components such as the felt 6. The felt 6 is reliably fixed to the fixing block 2 through the positioning groove 4, ensuring the felt 6 The upper surface of the fixed block 2 is fitted to enhance the structural sealing and dustproof performance. The first connecting groove 8 on the left and right sides of the upper surface of the fixed block 2 is confirmed to be accurately aligned with the second connecting groove 9 on the upper surface of the felt 6, so that the two connecting grooves are connected to facilitate subsequent gas flow. Two air supply pipes 7 are installed on the inner surface of the second connecting groove 9, and it is ensured that the air supply pipes 7 are located above the second connecting groove 9. This allows the gas to be evenly introduced under the felt 6. The V-shaped groove 3 on the upper surface of the fixed block 2 is checked to facilitate the water jet angle adjustment path. Finally, it is confirmed that all components are firmly connected. Through the adjustment of the height adjuster 1, the gas can pass through the air supply pipes 7, connecting grooves and other components, and finally act on the lower surface of the felt 6, realizing real-time floating detection and feedback control of the distance between the water jet head and the workpiece surface.
