Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser equipment technology, and in particular to a material discharge mechanism for laser cutting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of laser equipment technology, laser cutting is widely used for processing various materials due to its high cutting precision and high efficiency. However, existing laser cutting equipment has significant shortcomings in the material output stage: on the one hand, the cut products lack a dedicated guiding and collection structure, easily accumulating in the processing area inside the frame, requiring frequent manual cleaning to maintain subsequent processing. This not only increases labor costs but also easily affects cutting efficiency due to untimely cleaning. On the other hand, waste generated during the cutting process often falls mixed with the products, which may cause waste to get stuck in the gaps between the equipment, affecting operational stability, and also requires additional manual sorting, increasing the complexity of the production process and making it difficult to adapt to the needs of efficient and automated production.

[0003] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a material discharge mechanism for laser cutting equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0009] The material distribution frame has a first discharge port and a second discharge port at its two ends, respectively. A guide ramp with a gap is welded and fixed on the inner side of the material distribution frame below the inlet. The lower end of the guide ramp with a gap extends to the bottom end of the first discharge port. The bottom end of the inner side of the material distribution frame is inclined, and the inclined surface smoothly transitions from the bottom end of the first discharge port to the bottom end of the second discharge port.

[0010] Preferably, the inclined guide platform with gap is composed of an inclined rectangular metal frame and multiple cylindrical rods, with the multiple cylindrical rods being distributed in parallel at intervals along the length of the inclined surface of the rectangular metal frame.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission frame includes a hollow metal frame and a transmission belt mounted inside the hollow metal frame. The transmission belt is arranged in a closed loop along the path of the hollow metal frame and is driven by a servo motor.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] This utility model relates to a laser cutting equipment with a discharge mechanism. After the multi-axis linkage robot arm drives the laser cutting head to complete precise processing, the product can be placed into a conical hopper directly below the processing area, preventing product accumulation in the processing area and eliminating the need for frequent manual cleaning. The conical hopper guides the product precisely into the transfer frame. The transfer frame, through the cooperation of the lower parallel section, the inclined section, and the upper parallel section, stably transports the product from the inside of the frame to the outer distribution frame, solving the problem of poor product conveying. The gapped guide ramp in the distribution frame can receive the product and guide it to be discharged from the first discharge port. At the same time, the waste generated by cutting can fall from the gap of the ramp into the inclined bottom of the distribution frame and slide along the bottom to the second discharge port for discharge, realizing automatic separation of product and waste, eliminating the need for manual sorting. The overall mechanism greatly reduces manual intervention, effectively improves the discharge efficiency and product qualification rate of the laser cutting equipment, and is suitable for automated production needs.

[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5 A material discharge mechanism for a laser cutting equipment includes a frame 1, a multi-axis linkage robot 2 is provided inside the frame 1, and a laser cutting head is installed at the output end of the multi-axis linkage robot 2. The cutting trajectory of the laser cutting head covers a preset processing area inside the frame 1.

[0028] A conical hopper 3 is fixed on the inner side of the frame 1 directly below the processing area. A transfer frame 4 is connected to the bottom end of the conical hopper 3. The end of the transfer frame 4 away from the conical hopper 3 extends to the outside of the frame 1.

[0029] The output end of the transmission frame 4, which extends to the outside of the frame 1, is connected to a material distribution frame 5. The top of the material distribution frame 5 is provided with a feed inlet 51 that communicates with the output end of the transmission frame 4.

[0030] The material distribution frame 5 has a first discharge port and a second discharge port at its two ends. A guide ramp 52 with a gap is welded and fixed on the inner side of the material distribution frame 5 below the inlet 51. The lower end of the guide ramp 52 with a gap extends to the bottom end of the first discharge port. The bottom end of the inner side of the material distribution frame 5 is inclined, and the inclined surface smoothly transitions from the bottom end of the first discharge port to the bottom end of the second discharge port.

[0031] Using the above technical solution, after the multi-axis linkage robot 2 drives the laser cutting head to complete the product cutting in the processing area inside the frame 1, the cut product can be directly placed into the conical hopper 3 directly below, avoiding product accumulation in the processing area. The conical hopper 3 guides the product precisely into the transfer frame 4 through its conical structure, and then the transfer frame 4 stably transports the product to the distribution frame 5 on the outside of the frame 1. The gapped guide ramp 52 in the distribution frame 5 can directly receive the product entering from the feed port 51 and guide the product to slide down the ramp to the first discharge port to complete the product discharge. At the same time, the waste generated during the cutting process will pass through the gap of the gapped guide ramp 52 and fall into the bottom of the inner side of the distribution frame 5, sliding down the inclined surface of the bottom to the second discharge port for discharge. This structure completely separates the discharge paths of products and waste, solving the problem of mixed conveying of products and waste in traditional equipment and the need for subsequent manual sorting, and greatly improving the discharge efficiency and product sorting accuracy of the laser cutting equipment.

[0032] The inclined guide platform 52 with a gap consists of an inclined rectangular metal frame and multiple cylindrical rods, with the multiple cylindrical rods being distributed parallel to each other at intervals along the length of the inclined surface of the rectangular metal frame.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the cylindrical rods distributed along the length of the inclined plane form a stable support surface that can support the cut products and guide them to slide towards the first discharge port. At the same time, the gaps between adjacent cylindrical rods provide a falling channel for the cutting waste. The waste can fall directly from the gaps between the cylindrical rods into the bottom of the inner side of the distribution frame 5 without the need for additional separation components. Meanwhile, the smooth surface of the cylindrical rods reduces the friction between the products and the inclined platform, preventing scratches and jamming during the product's slide, ensuring the integrity and smoothness of the product discharge. The rectangular metal frame provides a stable installation foundation for the cylindrical rods.

[0034] The transmission frame 4 includes a hollow metal frame and a transmission belt 6 installed inside the hollow metal frame. The transmission belt 6 is arranged in a closed loop along the path of the hollow metal frame and is driven by a servo motor.

[0035] The hollow metal frame is integrally formed and consists of a lower parallel section, an inclined section, and an upper parallel section. The two ends of the inclined section are fixedly connected to one end of the lower parallel section and one end of the upper parallel section, respectively.

[0036] The lower parallel section is horizontally set at the bottom of the inner side of the frame 1, and the bottom of the conical hopper 3 is connected to the inner cavity of the lower parallel section.

[0037] The upper parallel section is horizontally set at a preset height outside the frame 1. The material distribution frame 5 is fixed to the bottom end of the upper parallel section. The bottom end of the upper parallel section is provided with a material guide port, and the material guide port is connected to the top feed port 51 of the material distribution frame 5.

[0038] The above technical solutions and the structure of the transmission frame 4 ensure stable product delivery: the lower parallel section receives the products falling from the conical hopper 3 to prevent them from scattering; the inclined section enables the products to be smoothly lifted from the low position inside the frame 1 to the high position outside; the guide port of the upper parallel section is precisely connected to the feed port 51 of the distribution frame 5 to ensure that no products are missed when entering the distribution frame.

[0039] The inclined section of the transmission frame 4 is welded and fixed with a vertically arranged support frame 7 and a parallelly arranged reinforcing frame 8, and the support frame 7, the reinforcing frame 8 and the inclined section together form a triangular structure.

[0040] Using the above technical solutions, the support frame 7 and the reinforcing frame 8 of the inclined section of the transmission frame 4 form a triangular structure with the inclined section: the support frame 7 provides vertical support force to offset the downward pressure of product conveying on the inclined section; the triangular structure has non-deformable characteristics, can distribute the load, prevent the inclined section from bending and deforming, ensure that the transmission frame 4 remains stable when conveying heavier products, and avoid the transmission belt 6 from jamming and product deviation.

[0041] The side of the frame 1 has a fixing hole 9 for the transmission frame 4 to pass through.

[0042] Using the above technical solution, the core function of the fixing hole 9 on the side of the frame 1 is to provide a through-installation channel for the transmission frame 4: allowing the transmission frame 4 to pass smoothly through the frame 1, meeting the installation requirements of the transmission frame 4 having one end connected to the conical hopper 3 and the other end extending to the outside of the frame to connect to the material distribution frame 5, thus simplifying the assembly process of the transmission frame 4 and the frame 1.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] After the multi-axis linkage robot 2 drives the laser cutting head to complete the product cutting in the processing area inside the frame 1, the cut product is placed into the lower conical hopper 3 and guided into the transfer frame 4. The conveyor belt 6 of the transfer frame 4 operates, transporting the product along the lower parallel section, inclined section and upper parallel section to the outside of the frame 1, and then through the upper parallel section guide port into the feed port 51 of the distribution frame 5. After entering the distribution frame 5, the product slides down along the gap guide ramp 52 to the first discharge port and is discharged. The cutting waste falls from the gap of the cylindrical rod of the gap guide ramp 52 into the bottom of the inner side of the distribution frame 5, slides along the bottom inclined surface to the second discharge port and is discharged, completing the product conveying and waste separation.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
