Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ladder manufacturing and processing technology, specifically to a cutting and processing device for ladder steps. Background Technology
[0002] Traditional ladder step processing relies heavily on manual, step-by-step operations. Processes such as cutting, punching, and bending require different equipment. For example, in wood or metal sheet processing, cutting often uses a table saw or a cutting machine. Currently, metal sheets are the most commonly used material.
[0003] While existing technological improvements have introduced CNC machining centers to achieve semi-automatic machining of steps, limitations still exist in practical applications, as follows:
[0004] Currently, CNC machining centers face capacity limitations when machining certain steps that customers require. For example, ... Figure 4 As shown, some waste material needs to be removed from both ends of the sheet to form two notches. However, due to the limitation of single-axis tool path planning, it is impossible to perform cutting operations in the width and length directions of the sheet simultaneously. This forces the operator to frequently change the position of the sheet or the tool station. Each time the position is changed, the cutting parameters need to be recalibrated to avoid dimensional deviations. However, this operation increases the processing time per piece and seriously restricts the efficiency of mass production.
[0005] Therefore, how to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology mentioned above has become the subject of this utility model. Utility Model Content
[0006] This utility model provides a cutting and processing device for ladder steps, which aims to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a ladder step cutting and processing device for cutting materials, wherein the two ends of the material are respectively provided with a first cutting position and a second cutting position; the cutting and processing device includes a transfer module, a first cutting mechanism, a second cutting mechanism, and a clamping mechanism for clamping and positioning the material; taking the transfer module as a reference, the transfer direction of the transfer module is a first direction, and the first cutting mechanism and the second cutting mechanism are respectively provided on both sides of the first direction, the first cutting mechanism has a first actuating element, and the second cutting mechanism has a second actuating element, both the first actuating element and the second actuating element facing... The orientation of the transfer module is set with the height direction of the transfer module as a reference. The cutting edge height of the first actuator and the cutting edge height of the second actuator are at the same height, and the vertical distance between the cutting edges of the two actuators and the upper surface of the transfer module is H, where H is a positive real number. The clamping mechanism is disposed on the transfer module and configured to clamp the material and reciprocate along the first direction, so that the length direction of the material is perpendicular to the first direction. When the clamping mechanism moves along the first direction, the first actuator faces the first cutting position and completes the cutting of the first cutting position; the second actuator faces the second cutting position and completes the cutting of the second cutting position.
[0008] The relevant content in the above plan is explained as follows:
[0009] In the above scheme, the transfer module can be a reciprocating screw, guide rail, or other linear reciprocating motion mechanism.
[0010] In the above scheme, both the first actuator and the second actuator have cutting edges, and the cutting edge settings of the two should be matched according to the shape of the first cutting position and the second cutting position.
[0011] In the above scheme, the vertical distance H between the cutting edges of both and the upper surface of the transfer module means that the cutting edges of both must be exposed and facing the material in order to complete the cutting operation.
[0012] In the above solution, multi-station operation can be quickly achieved through the cooperation of the transfer module, the first cutting mechanism, the second cutting mechanism, and the clamping mechanism. Specifically, the material is directly fixed on the clamping mechanism, and then the transfer module drives the material to reciprocate along the first direction. At this time, the length direction of the material is perpendicular to the first direction. Then, when the clamping mechanism moves along the first direction, the first actuator is facing the first cutting position and completes the cutting of the first cutting position; the second actuator is facing the second cutting position and completes the cutting of the second cutting position.
[0013] In a further technical solution, the first actuator includes a first horizontal cutter and a first vertical cutter disposed on the first cutting mechanism; viewed along the first direction, the first horizontal cutter and the first vertical cutter are arranged sequentially and at intervals, and the cutting plane of the first horizontal cutter intersects with the cutting plane of the first vertical cutter.
[0014] The cutting plane of the first horizontal cutter intersects with the cutting plane of the first vertical cutter, preferably orthogonally.
[0015] With the above design, when the first actuator cuts the first cutting position, the first horizontal cutter and the first vertical cutter can freely cooperate to form a state where the cutting planes intersect. This not only completes the cutting operation, but also adapts to different shapes cut out.
[0016] In a further technical solution, the second actuator includes a second horizontal cutter and a second vertical cutter disposed on the second cutting mechanism; viewed along the first direction, the second horizontal cutter and the second vertical cutter are arranged sequentially and at intervals, and the cutting plane of the second horizontal cutter intersects with the cutting plane of the second vertical cutter.
[0017] The cutting plane of the second horizontal cutter intersects with the cutting plane of the second vertical cutter, preferably orthogonally.
[0018] With the above design, when the second actuator cuts at the second cutting position, the second horizontal cutter and the second vertical cutter can freely cooperate to form a state where the cutting plane intersects. This not only completes the cutting operation, but also adapts to different shapes cut out.
[0019] In a further technical solution, the transfer module includes a guide rail, the length direction of which is the transfer direction, the guide rail is disposed between the first cutting mechanism and the second cutting mechanism, and the first cutting mechanism and the second cutting mechanism are symmetrical and spaced apart.
[0020] With the above design, the cutting actions at the first and second cutting positions are completed synchronously.
[0021] A further technical solution includes a fixing plate with a front facing the transfer module. The front is provided with a clamping member, and the clamping member has two end clamping heads that can move closer or further apart from each other along the length direction. Through the cooperative cooperation of the two end clamping heads, the material is positioned perpendicular to the first direction. The clamping mechanism also includes a peripheral clamping member disposed on the front and located between the two end clamping heads. The peripheral clamping member is configured to limit the peripheral side of the material.
[0022] With the above design, after the material is clamped and fixed, the first cutting position and the second cutting position are respectively set to correspond one-to-one with the first actuator and the second actuator by the restriction of the end clamping head. Then, the material is limited by the peripheral clamping member, so that the material will not vibrate and fall off during cutting.
[0023] In a further technical solution, a processing gap is provided between each end of the peripheral clamping member and the two end clamping heads, and the length of the processing gap is greater than or equal to the length of the first cutting position or the second cutting position.
[0024] With the above design, the first and second cutting positions can be fully exposed and will not be blocked by the peripheral clamping parts, thus preventing the cutting from being restricted.
[0025] In a further technical solution, the clamping mechanism further includes two waste clamping members, both of which are disposed on the fixed plate and correspond one-to-one with the first cutting position and the second cutting position; the waste clamping members have clamping heads, which are configured to clamp and fix the material to be cut off at the first cutting position or the second cutting position.
[0026] The two clamping heads correspond to the first cutting position and the second cutting position, respectively.
[0027] With the above design, the material to be cut at the first or second cutting position can be restrained by the clamping head, preventing waste (i.e., the cut material) from splashing.
[0028] Working principle:
[0029] The metal sheet is clamped and fixed by the two end clamping heads. After fixing, refer to [the following section / reference]. Figure 4 In this case, only the first and second cutting positions are exposed, and at the same time, in reference... Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sheet metal faces the guide rail 13, and the first cutting position and the second cutting position correspond one-to-one with the first actuator and the second actuator, respectively. As the guide rail 13 pulls the sheet metal to move, the first actuator and the second actuator will then perform cutting operations on the first cutting position and the second cutting position, respectively.
