Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pipe processing equipment, and in particular to a side-mounted laser pipe cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the cutting and processing of pipes, fixing devices are used to fix the pipes and laser cutting equipment is used to cut the pipes. Existing fixing devices are generally only suitable for pipes of a fixed length. When it is necessary to cut pipes of other lengths, it is often necessary to manually adjust or even replace them with other fixing devices, which reduces the efficiency of pipe cutting and processing and increases the processing cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, this invention provides a side-mounted laser pipe cutting machine, which can be adapted to clamp and laser cut pipes of different lengths by adjusting the distance between two clamping components, thereby improving the efficiency of pipe cutting and reducing processing costs.

[0004] According to one aspect of the present invention, a side-mounted laser tube cutting machine is provided, including a base platform, a linear guide rail extending left and right is provided on the rear side of the base platform, and two clamping components located on the same horizontal axis are slidably installed on the front sides of both ends of the linear guide rail. The top front side of the base is equipped with a plurality of lifting cylinders arranged side by side. Each lifting cylinder is connected to a support wheel or two clamping blocks arranged in opposite directions. One of the two clamping blocks can move back and forth, and each support wheel and each clamping block is located below the two clamping components. A laser cutting head capable of moving back and forth and rising and falling is mounted on the base platform, and the laser cutting head is located above the two clamping components.

[0005] In some embodiments, the top of the linear guide rail is provided with two upper slide rails extending laterally and a rack. Two clamping motors are slidably mounted on each of the upper slide rails and are engaged with the rack via gears. Two clamping assemblies are respectively connected to the two clamping motors. The advantage is that a structure in which the clamping assemblies are slidably mounted on the linear guide rail is described.

The advantage is that providing side slide rails can further support and stabilize the clamping components.

[0008] In some embodiments, one of the two clamping blocks is connected to an adjusting cylinder. The advantage is that this clamping block can move back and forth under the operation of the adjusting cylinder to adjust the distance between itself and the other clamping block, thereby clamping the intermediate pipe.

[0009] In some embodiments, the top of each of the lifting cylinders is spaced apart from the support wheel and the two clamping blocks. This has the advantage of allowing for uniform force distribution on the supported and clamped tubing.

[0010] In some embodiments, a bracket is mounted on the rear side of the base, and a horizontally extending motorized slide is mounted on the upper side of the bracket. A lifting motor is slidably mounted on the horizontal motorized slide, and the laser cutting head is connected to the bottom of the lifting motor.

Detailed Implementation

[0015] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1-4 As shown, a side-mounted laser tube cutting machine of this utility model includes a long strip-shaped base 1. A linear guide rail 2 extending horizontally is provided on one side of the base 1 (referred to as the rear side, the opposite side as the front side, and the other two sides as the left and right sides). Two clamping components 3 are slidably installed on the front sides of both ends of the linear guide rail 2. The two clamping components 3 are arranged opposite each other and located on the same horizontal axis, and can clamp the tube 7 to be processed.

[0017] Preferably, the top of the linear guide 2 is provided with two upper slide rails 21 extending left and right and a rack 22. Two sliding blocks 24 are slidably mounted on the two upper slide rails 21, and two clamping motors 23 are mounted on the two sliding blocks 24. The rotors of the two clamping motors 23 are engaged with the rack 22 through gears (not shown in the figure). The two clamping components 3 are respectively connected to the front side of the two sliding blocks 24. When the two clamping motors 23 operate, they can drive the two sliding blocks 24 to slide left and right along the upper slide rails 21 through the operation of the gears and the rack 22, thereby driving the two clamping components 3 to slide left and right to adjust the distance between them.

[0018] Preferably, the front side of the linear guide 2 is also provided with two side slide rails 25, and the two clamping components 3 are respectively slidably installed on the two side slide rails 25.

[0019] Multiple lifting cylinders 4 arranged side-by-side are installed on the top front side of the base platform 1. Each lifting cylinder 4 has a support wheel 41 or two clamping blocks 42 arranged opposite each other connected to its top piston rod. One of the clamping blocks 42 is connected to the piston rod of an adjusting cylinder 43 and can move back and forth under the operation of the adjusting cylinder 43 to adjust the distance between itself and the other clamping block 42, thereby clamping the pipe 7 in the middle. Each clamping block 42 can clamp the same pipe 7 together, each support wheel 41 can support the pipe 7 together, and each lifting cylinder 4 can lift the pipe 7 upward together when it is operated. Each support wheel 41 and each clamping block 42 is located below two clamping components 3.

[0020] Preferably, the top of each lifting cylinder 4 is connected to a support wheel 41 and two clamping blocks 42 at intervals so that the pipe 7 on it can be subjected to uniform force.

[0021] A bracket 51 is installed on the rear side of the base 1. A horizontally extending electric slide 52 is installed on the upper side of the bracket 51. A lifting motor 53 is slidably mounted on the horizontally extending electric slide 52. The bottom rotor of the lifting motor 53 is connected to a laser cutting head 5. The laser cutting head 5 can be raised and lowered under the operation of the lifting motor 53, thereby adjusting its position in the front-back direction and the vertical direction. The laser cutting head 5 is located above the two clamping components 3 and can cut the pipe 7 clamped by the two clamping components 3. Preferably, a waste box 6 is provided below the laser cutting head 5 to collect waste material from laser cutting.

[0022] In addition, all of the above-mentioned electrical equipment, such as clamping motor 23, lifting cylinder 4, electric slide table 52, lifting motor 53, and laser cutting head 5, are connected to a control system (not shown in the figure) and are controlled by the control system.

[0023] When using this side-mounted laser tube cutting machine, the tube 7 is first placed onto the support wheels 41 and clamping blocks 42, where it is clamped by the clamping blocks 42 and supported by the support wheels 41. Then, the lifting cylinders 4 operate to lift the tube 7 up to between it and the two clamping components 3. The two clamping motors 23 operate to move the two clamping components 3 and clamp the tube 7 from both ends. Then, the clamping blocks 42 are released, and the lifting cylinders 4 operate to lower the support wheels 41 and clamping blocks 42. The two clamping components 3 move the tube 7 further to the laser cutting head 5, where the laser cutting head 5 cuts the tube 7, and the waste material is collected by the waste frame 6. The distance between the two clamping components 3 can be adjusted by sliding them along the linear guide rail 2, allowing the side-mounted laser tube cutting machine to be suitable for clamping and cutting tubes 7 of different lengths.

[0024] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
