Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of protective plates for laser cutting machines, and particularly relates to a vertical laser cutting machine for storage and protection. Background Technology

[0002] A laser cutting machine is a device that uses a high-energy-density laser beam to cut materials. It is widely used in metal processing, non-metal processing, automotive manufacturing, aerospace, electronics, and many other fields. In a horizontal laser cutting machine, the workpiece is vertically clamped and placed on the worktable. The laser beam cuts vertically onto the workpiece, parallel to the worktable surface. The molten slag is blown away by an air blowing mechanism, therefore a protective plate needs to be installed in the direction of slag flight to block the flying debris.

[0003] When loading or unloading larger workpieces, the protective plate can affect the movement of the loading and unloading components. It is necessary to remove the protective plate and load or unload the workpiece. Frequent disassembly and reassembly greatly affect the efficiency of the cutting work and are very inconvenient to use. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model addresses the problems in the prior art by proposing the following technical solution:

[0005] A protective vertical laser cutting machine includes a protective plate and a support roller. One end of the protective plate is provided with a mounting plate that is fixedly connected to the worktable of the cutting machine, and the other end of the protective plate is provided with a counterweight. The protective plate is composed of multiple independent sub-plates, and adjacent sub-plates are hinged together. The support roller moves back and forth in the vertical direction, and the top and sides of the support roller are in contact with the corresponding sub-plates.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, both ends of the support roller are fitted with connecting blocks, and a driving component is provided at the bottom of the connecting blocks.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a support frame is provided on one side of the support roller, the support frame is located on the sub-plate position below the support roller, the middle part of the support frame is sleeved on the surface of the sub-plate, rollers are provided on both sides of the support frame where they are in contact with the surface of the sub-plate, and the two ends of the support frame are fixedly connected to two connecting blocks.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, a plurality of bolts are threaded into one side of the support frame, and the bolts are fitted to the surface of the sub-plate to rub and fix the support frame and the sub-plate.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the above technical solution, the weight of the counterweight is greater than the overall weight of the protective plate, and the counterweight is used to provide power for storing the protective plate.

[0010] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] 1. The protective plate is composed of multiple independent sub-plates hinged together. The support roller moves upward and pushes the sub-plates to deflect one by one, unfolding the protective plate to form a continuous protective surface. Taking advantage of the fact that the weight of the counterweight is greater than the overall weight of the protective plate, the sub-plates at the protective surface position are pulled to keep them in a vertical state. In addition, the counterweight can automatically retract the protective plate through gravity drive, realizing the flexible extension and storage of the protective plate, making it more convenient to use.

[0012] 2. The bolt friction fixing design allows the support frame to be fixed to the sub-plate after the protective plate is unfolded, forming a dual support structure of "driving component + support frame", which enhances the stability of the protective plate after unfolding and avoids shaking or displacement due to external forces.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0018] Example

[0019] Figures 1-3 The protective vertical laser cutting machine includes a protective plate 10 and a support roller 20. One end of the protective plate 10 is provided with a mounting plate 30 that is fixedly connected to the worktable of the cutting machine, and the other end of the protective plate 10 is provided with a counterweight 40. The protective plate 10 is composed of multiple independent sub-plates 11, and adjacent sub-plates 11 are hinged together. The support roller 20 moves back and forth in the vertical direction, and the top and sides of the support roller 20 are in contact with the corresponding sub-plates 11.

[0020] The counterweight 40 has a weight greater than the overall weight of the protective plate 10, and the counterweight 40 is used to provide power for the storage of the protective plate 10.

[0021] Both ends of the support roller 20 are fitted with connecting blocks 50, and the bottom of the connecting blocks 50 is provided with a driving component 60. In this technical solution, the driving component 60 is a cylinder, or other linear drive mechanism can be used to increase the protection height of the protective plate 10, ensuring protection while reducing the impact on the line of sight.

[0022] The protective plate 10 is composed of multiple independent sub-plates 11 hinged together. The support roller 20 moves upward to push the sub-plates 11 to deflect one by one, thus unfolding the protective plate 10 to form a continuous protective surface. Taking advantage of the fact that the weight of the counterweight 40 is greater than the overall weight of the protective plate 10, the sub-plates 11 at the protective surface position are pulled to keep them in a vertical state. Furthermore, the counterweight 40 can automatically retract the protective plate 10 through gravity drive, realizing the flexible extension and storage of the protective plate 10, making it more convenient to use.

[0023] Figure 1 and Figure 3 In the middle, a support frame 71 is provided on one side of the support roller 20. The support frame 71 is located on the sub-plate 11 below the support roller 20. The middle part of the support frame 71 is sleeved on the surface of the sub-plate 11. Rollers are provided on both sides of the support frame 71 where they are in contact with the surface of the sub-plate 11. The two ends of the support frame 71 are fixedly connected to two connecting blocks 50.

[0024] The support frame 71 has multiple bolts 72 threaded into one side, and the bolts 72 are attached to the surface of the sub-plate 11 to rub and fix the support frame 71 and the sub-plate 11.

[0025] The friction fixing design of bolt 72 allows the support frame 71 to be fixed to the sub-plate 11 after the protective plate 10 is unfolded, forming a double support structure of "driving component 60 + support frame 71", which enhances the stability of the protective plate 10 after unfolding and avoids shaking or displacement due to external forces.

[0026] Working principle: When the protective plate 10 needs to be extended for protection, the two drive components 60 are activated simultaneously to push the corresponding connecting block 50 to move. The support roller 20 moves upward and passes through each sub-plate 11, pushing it to deflect. The support roller 20 rotates as the sub-plate 11 moves to reduce friction with it. During this process, because the weight of the counterweight 40 is greater than the overall weight of the protective plate 10, the sub-plate 11 passing through the support roller 20 is pulled by the counterweight 40 to remain vertical. The support frame 71 moves and passes through the surface of each sub-plate 11, and the internal rollers roll to reduce friction with the sub-plate 11. After the protective plate 10 is opened, the counterweight 40 is still on the other side. The bolt 72 is used to frictionally fix the support frame 71 to the sub-plate 11. The support structure composed of the support frame 71 and the drive component 60 supports and fixes the protective plate 10. When the protective plate 10 is retracted, the counterweight 40 pulls the other end of the protective plate 10 as the support roller 20 moves downward, causing it to retract automatically.

[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it.
