Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel structure technology, specifically to a device for cutting rough edges on end plates. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of steel structure engineering, steel component end plates are a key component of connection nodes, and their processing accuracy directly affects the stability and safety of the entire structure. After the end plates are cut and shaped, burrs and other rough edge defects are usually generated on the edges. These rough edges not only affect the assembly accuracy of the end plates with other components, but may also cause scratches to personnel during subsequent construction and use. At the same time, they will also reduce the corrosion resistance of the connection parts. Therefore, the rough edges of the end plates must be treated.

[0003] Currently, the industry's method for handling burrs on steel component end plates is mostly the traditional single-sided sequential processing mode. Operators typically use manual tools such as angle grinders and grinding wheels, or simple semi-automatic equipment, to sequentially grind or cut the burrs on the four sides of the end plate. Only one side can be processed at a time, which is cumbersome and requires frequent adjustments to the clamping position of the end plate or the working angle of the tools. This results in extremely low processing efficiency, making it difficult to meet the cycle time requirements of large-scale steel structure production. Positioning errors are easily generated during multiple adjustments, resulting in poor consistency in the burr treatment quality of different sides. Some edges may be over-grinded or under-processed, affecting the overall processing accuracy of the end plate. Utility Model Content

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a device for cutting burrs from an end plate, comprising an operating table, a support plate mounted on the operating table, and a positioning component mounted on the top of the support plate; a second linear module surrounding the support plate is also mounted on the top of the operating table, a vertical plate is fixed to the moving end of the second linear module, a third linear module is mounted on the vertical plate, a vertical plate that slides with the vertical plate is mounted to the moving end of the third linear module, a fourth linear module is mounted on the surface of the vertical plate, a horizontal plate is fixed to the moving end of the fourth linear module, an insert plate is mounted on the horizontal plate, and a cutting head opposite to the corresponding side of the support plate is mounted at the head end of the insert plate.

[0005] Furthermore, a rectangular tube is installed on the horizontal plate. The inner side of the rectangular tube is hollow, and multiple positioning holes are opened at the top. The insert plate is inserted into the rectangular tube and locked and fixed by screws passing through the positioning holes.

[0006] Furthermore, two sets of sliders are fixed on the vertical plate, and the sliders slide inside a mounting block that is locked in place by screws. A positioning camera is mounted on the mounting block.

[0007] Furthermore, the positioning component consists of multiple suction cup devices mounted on the support plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a first linear module is installed at the bottom of the operating table, and a movable plate that slides with the operating table is fixed to the movable end of the first linear module. Multiple support columns are installed on the top of the movable plate, and the support columns are fixed to the bottom of the support plate.

[0009] Furthermore, the stroke of the second linear module corresponding to the long side of the support plate is greater than the stroke of the other two sets of second linear modules.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0011] The deburring device for this end plate, driven by the coordinated action of the second, third, and fourth linear modules, can simultaneously deburr three edges of the end plate without frequent adjustments to the end plate or cutter head position. Compared to traditional single-sided sequential processing, this improves processing efficiency and is suitable for mass production needs. The dual positioning structure, consisting of a suction cup and a positioning camera, ensures the end plate is firmly fixed by negative pressure, preventing displacement. The positioning camera calibrates the cutter head position in real time, solving the positioning error problem caused by multiple adjustments in traditional methods. The entire process is automated, with the linear modules automatically adjusting the cutter head position, reducing manual intervention and preventing operators from directly contacting the cutter head and deburrs, thus lowering the risk of scratches and complying with industrial production safety standards.

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment of a device for cutting burrs on an end plate includes an operating table 1. A first linear module 2 is mounted on the top of the operating table 1. A movable plate 3 that slides with the top surface of the operating table 1 is fixed to the movable end of the first linear module 2. Four support columns 4 are fixed to the top of the movable plate 3. A support plate 5 for supporting the end plate is fixedly connected between the top ends of the support columns 4. The first linear module drives the movable plate, and the support plate can be adjusted by adjusting the support columns to adjust the positioning platform. Multiple suction cup devices 6 are mounted on the top surface of the support plate 5 as positioning components. The end plate is fixed by negative pressure adsorption to avoid displacement of the end plate during processing and to ensure positioning accuracy.

[0018] Among them, the top of the operating table 1 is equipped with a second linear module 7 that moves around the three sides of the support plate 5. The stroke of the second linear module 7 opposite to the long side of the support plate 5 is greater than that of the other two sets of second linear modules 7. The moving end of the second linear module 7 is fixed with a vertical plate 8. The position of the vertical plate along the length direction of the end plate is adjusted by adjusting the second linear module. A third linear module 9 that moves in the vertical direction is installed on the plate surface of the vertical plate 8. The moving end of the third linear module 9 is connected to a vertical plate 10 that slides with the vertical plate 8. The position of the vertical plate end plate is adjusted by the third linear module. A fourth linear module 14 that moves in the horizontal direction is installed on the plate surface of the vertical plate 10. A horizontal plate 15 is fixed to the moving end of the fourth linear module 14. A cutter head 18 is installed at the head end of the horizontal plate. The operation of the fourth linear module drives the horizontal plate to move horizontally, so that the feed of the cutter head is adjusted to be closer to the side and farther away from the side.

[0019] In addition, a rectangular tube 16 is fixed on the horizontal plate 15. The inner side of the rectangular tube 16 is hollow and the top is provided with multiple evenly distributed positioning holes. An insert plate 17 is inserted into the rectangular tube 16. The insert plate 17 is locked and fixed to the rectangular tube 16 by screws passing through the positioning holes. A cutter head 18 is installed at the head end of the insert plate 17. The cutter head 18 is opposite to the corresponding side of the support plate 5. By adjusting the insertion depth of the insert plate 17 in the rectangular tube 16, the adjustment requirements can be met according to different cutting requirements.

[0020] Meanwhile, two sets of sliders 11 are fixed on the surface of the vertical plate 10. The sliders 11 are slidably fitted with mounting blocks 12. The mounting blocks 12 are locked and fixed to the sliders 11 by screws. A positioning camera 13 is installed on the mounting block 12. The positioning camera 13 faces the edge of the support plate 5 and is used to capture the position of the rough edge of the end plate. The camera feeds back to the control system in real time to calibrate the cutting position of the cutter head 18 and further improve the processing accuracy.

[0021] The working principle of the above embodiments is as follows:

[0022] Loosen the screws on the slider, slide the mounting block so that the center of the positioning camera lens is flush with the edge of the support plate, then tighten the screws to fix the mounting block. Control the first linear module to start, driving the moving plate, support column, and support plate to slide horizontally along the operating table to the loading station. Place the rectangular end plate to be processed on the top surface of the support plate. Activate the suction cup device to use negative pressure to adsorb the bottom surface of the end plate, firmly fixing the end plate to the support plate to prevent displacement during processing. Control the first linear module to drive the support plate and end plate back to the processing station. Activate the positioning camera to capture edge images of the three sides of the end plate to be processed, and transmit the image data to the control system. The control system compares the burr position in the image with the preset cutting position, automatically driving the second linear module to adjust the position of the vertical plate so that the cutter head is aligned with the side of the edge to be processed on the end plate, and driving the third linear module to adjust the vertical... The height of the straight plate is adjusted so that the cutting edge of the cutter head is flush with the top of the burr on the end plate. Before this, according to the end plate cutting requirements, the screws on the rectangular tube are loosened, and the insertion depth of the insert plate is adjusted so that the cutting depth of the cutter head meets the preset parameters. Then the screws are tightened to fix the insert plate, and the fourth linear module is driven to adjust the horizontal position of the horizontal plate so that the cutting edge of the cutter head is close to the burr on the end plate. After the position of the cutter head is confirmed to be correct, the fourth and second linear modules drive the corresponding cutter head to cut the burr along the edge to be processed on the end plate, thereby completing the processing of three sides at the same time. After the burr cutting of the three sides is completed, each linear module drives the cutter head to return to the initial position, the suction cup device releases the negative pressure, and the end plate is released from the fixation. The first linear module drives the support plate and the processed end plate to the loading station. The operator removes the end plate and completes one processing cycle.
