Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pipe clamping technology, specifically relating to an automated cutting machine clamp for square tube production. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of square tubes, cutting is a crucial step, as its quality directly affects the subsequent performance of the square tubes and the overall product quality. The cutting machine fixture, as a key component in the cutting process, plays a decisive role in ensuring the precision, stability, and production efficiency of square tube cutting.

[0003] Traditional clamps used for cutting square tubes are often simple in structure and relatively limited in function. Common clamps typically employ fixed clamping plates or jaws to hold the square tubes. While this method can secure the tubes to some extent, it has several drawbacks. Specifically, with the fixed structure of traditional clamps, when continuous cutting of the square tubes is required, the tubes must be repositioned and clamped after each side is cut. This repeated clamping is cumbersome, labor-intensive, and inefficient. Therefore, this application proposes an automated cutting machine clamp for square tube production. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] This embodiment provides an automated cutting machine fixture for square tube production, the structural diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a base 1, a side clamping roller 3, a support roller 4, an upper clamping roller 5, and a positioning baffle 6.

[0026] In this embodiment, a cutting adapter groove 2 is provided on the base 1 along its width direction. The cutting adapter groove 2 provides cutting space for the cutting tool, ensuring smooth cutting. Multiple sets of side clamping rollers 3 are provided on the top of the base 1. These sets of side clamping rollers 3 are evenly distributed along the length of the base 1, with two rollers in each set, vertically distributed on both sides of the top of the base 1. The base 1 is provided with a first pushing member for driving the two side clamping rollers 3 to move closer together and a driving member for driving the side clamping rollers 3 to rotate. Specifically, the first pushing member includes a fixed arm 11 vertically fixed on both sides of the top of the base 1 and a second electric push rod 12 horizontally fixed on the fixed arm 11. The second electric push rod 12 is distributed along the width direction of the base 1, and its telescopic end passes through the fixed arm 11 and is connected to a movable plate 13. The side clamping rollers 3 are vertically and rotatably mounted on the side of the movable plate 13 facing the center of the base 1. By extending and retracting the second electric push rod 12, the two side clamping rollers 3 can be driven to move closer together or separate, thereby achieving clamping of square tubes of different widths. Meanwhile, the driving component is a motor 15 mounted on the top of the movable plate 13. The output shaft of the motor 15 is coaxially connected to the side clamping roller 3. The motor 15 can drive the side clamping roller 3 to rotate, thereby driving the square tube to move. In addition, a guide rod 14 is movably inserted on the fixed arm 11. The guide rod 14 is distributed parallel to the second electric push rod 12 and is fixedly connected to the movable plate 13. The guide rod 14 plays a guiding role to ensure the stability of the movement of the movable plate 13.

[0027] Furthermore, multiple rollers 4 are rotatably mounted on the top of the base 1 along the width direction. The highest point of the rollers 4 protrudes from the upper surface of the base 1. The multiple rollers 4 are evenly distributed to support the square tube, reduce the friction between the square tube and the base 1, and facilitate the movement and rotation of the square tube.

[0028] Furthermore, multiple upper clamping rollers 5 are horizontally rotatably arranged above the base 1, distributed along the width of the base 1. These upper clamping rollers 5 are interspersed with multiple support rollers 4 and multiple sets of side clamping rollers 3. A second pushing member is provided on the base 1 to drive the upper clamping rollers 5 downwards towards the base 1. This second pushing member is a third electric push rod 16 fixedly inserted on both sides of the base 1. The telescopic end of the third electric push rod 16 extends vertically upwards through the base 1 and is connected to a mounting block 17. The upper clamping rollers 5 are rotatably mounted between a pair of mounting blocks 17. Through the extension and retraction of the third electric push rod 16, the upper clamping rollers 5 can be driven downwards, cooperating with the support rollers 4 to clamp and fix the square tube in the vertical direction.

[0029] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side clamping roller 3, the support roller 4, and the upper clamping roller 5 are all located on the same side of the cutting adapter groove 2. A positioning baffle 6 is provided on the upper surface of the base 1 on the side of the cutting adapter groove 2 away from the side clamping roller 3, the support roller 4, and the upper clamping roller 5. The positioning baffle 6 is used to position the square tube to ensure that the square tube is accurately positioned during cutting. First electric push rods 7 are horizontally arranged on both sides of the base 1. The first electric push rods 7 are distributed along the length direction of the base 1. Bars 19 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the positioning baffle 6. The ends of the bars 19 are connected to force plates 20 placed on both sides of the base 1. The telescopic ends of the first electric push rods 7 are connected to the force plates 20. By telescoping the first electric push rods 7, the positioning baffle 6 can be pushed to move along the length direction of the base 1, thereby adapting to the positioning requirements of square tubes of different lengths. A touch sensor 18 is embedded in the positioning baffle 6 to obtain the contact signal between the square tube and the positioning baffle 6. When the square tube touches the positioning baffle 6, the touch sensor 18 transmits the signal to the control system. The control system can control the relevant components to stop moving to achieve precise positioning. In addition, a dimension line 10 is engraved on the side of the upper surface of the base 1. During the movement of the positioning baffle 6, the bar 19 moves on the dimension line 10, which makes it convenient for the operator to intuitively understand the positioning position and cutting length of the square tube.

[0030] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a guide groove 9 is provided on the base 1 along its length, and a slider 21 is provided at the bottom of the positioning baffle 6. The slider 21 is slidably engaged with the guide groove 9 to ensure the smooth movement of the positioning baffle 6. Mounting plates 8 are provided on both sides of the base 1 that are bent downwards. The mounting plates 8 are used to mount the entire fixture onto the cutting machine.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] In actual use, firstly, based on the length of the square tube, the first electric push rod 7 pushes the positioning baffle 6 to a suitable position. Then, the square tube is placed on the roller 4, and the square tube is pushed so that one end abuts against the positioning baffle 6. When the square tube touches the touch sensor 18 on the positioning baffle 6, the touch sensor 18 transmits a signal to the control system, and the control system controls the first electric push rod 7 to stop moving, thus achieving the initial positioning of the square tube.

[0033] Next, the second electric push rod 12 is activated. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 12 pushes the movable plate 13 to move, causing the two side clamping rollers 3 to come closer together until they clamp the two sides of the square tube. Then, the third electric push rod 16 is activated. The telescopic end of the third electric push rod 16 pushes the mounting block 17 downward, causing the upper clamping roller 5 to press down and cooperate with the support roller 4 to clamp and fix the square tube in the vertical direction, ensuring that the square tube will not shake during the cutting process. In addition, the motor 15 drives the side clamping rollers 3 to rotate, which can automatically drive the square tube to be conveyed. When the end of the square tube abuts the positioning baffle 6 and the touch sensor 18 obtains the touch signal, the conveying is automatically stopped and cutting is performed, which greatly improves production efficiency, reduces manual operation, and reduces labor intensity.

[0034] All technical features in this embodiment can be freely combined according to actual needs.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
