Description

processing equipment Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of cutting technology, in particular to a processing device with low operating noise. Background Art

[0002] A cutting plotter, also known as a perimeter plotter or die-cutter, is primarily used for die-cutting (full or partial cutting), creasing, and hot stamping thin materials such as kraft paper, self-adhesive stickers, car stickers, wall stickers, and sticky notes. The main components of a cutting plotter include a die-cutting table, a pressing mechanism, and a motor that drives the pressing mechanism. During operation, the user places the thin material on the die-cutting table, where the perimeter plotter positions the material. The motor drives the pressing mechanism back and forth, imprinting the desired pattern onto the material according to the predetermined die-cutting program.

[0003] The inventors noted that the motor installed in a cutting plotter typically drives the dynamic pressing and cutting mechanism to strike a first side wall of the die-cutting table. After striking the first side wall, the motor then drives the pressing and cutting mechanism toward a second side wall opposite the first. After striking the second side wall, the motor then drives the pressing and cutting mechanism toward the first side wall, completing the reciprocating motion of the pressing and cutting mechanism. This also causes the cutting plotter to continuously produce wall-impacting noise during operation, affecting the user experience. Furthermore, this constant wall-impacting also shortens the service life of the die-cutting table and the pressing and cutting mechanism.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a cutting plotter that can prevent the pressing and cutting mechanism from hitting the wall while achieving precise positioning of the pressing and cutting mechanism is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0012] When the processing equipment is in a pre-working state, when an external workpiece enters the working area and blocks the third sensor and the fourth sensor, the conveying roller rotates forward to suck in the external workpiece and drive the external workpiece to move.

[0028] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. All other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field based on the embodiments of the present invention without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0030] Referring to Figures 1-6, the present invention provides a processing device 100 that has an anti-collision wall, low noise, precise workpiece positioning, and high processing efficiency. The processing device 100 includes a housing 10, a first sensor 15, a second sensor 16, a transmission assembly 30, and a motion assembly 20. The housing 10 includes a first sidewall 11, a second sidewall 12, and a third sidewall 13. The first sidewall 11 is disposed opposite the second sidewall 12; the third sidewall 13 connects the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12. The first sensor 15 and the second anti-collision sensor 16 are disposed on the third sidewall 13, with the first sensor 15 disposed adjacent to the first sidewall 11, and the second sensor 16 disposed adjacent to the second sidewall 12.

[0031] The motion assembly 20 is in transmission connection with the transmission assembly 30 , and the transmission assembly 30 drives the motion assembly 20 to move between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12 .

[0032] When the moving component 20 moves to the front of the first sensor 15, the first sensor 15 is blocked, and the processing equipment 100 controls the moving component 20 to stop moving toward the first side wall 11. When the moving component 20 moves to the front of the second sensor 16, the second sensor 16 is blocked, and the processing equipment 100 controls the transmission component 30 to stop moving toward the second side wall 12.

[0033] The first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16 may be a transmissive photoelectric sensor, a diffuse reflection photoelectric sensor, or an obstruction photoelectric sensor. In this embodiment, the first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16 are diffuse reflection photoelectric sensors as an example for description.

[0034] The processing equipment 100 of the present invention introduces a first sensor 15 and a second sensor 16. When the motion component 20 moves to the front of the first sensor 15, the first sensor 15 is blocked, causing the light flux emitted by the first sensor 15 to change. The processing equipment 100 receives the information of the light flux change fed back by the first sensor 15, and thus the processing equipment 100 controls the motion component 20 to stop moving toward the first side wall 11, that is, the motion component 20 does not collide with the first side wall 11. When the motion component 20 moves to the front of the second sensor 16, the second sensor 16 is blocked, causing the light flux emitted by the second sensor 16 to change. The processing equipment 100 receives the information of the light flux change fed back by the second sensor 16, and thus the processing equipment 100 controls the transmission component 30 to stop moving toward the second side wall 12, that is, the motion component 20 does not collide with the second side wall 12. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the processing equipment 100 of the present invention will not hit the wall during operation, thereby avoiding the generation of wall-hitting noise, improving the user experience, and avoiding the loss of parts caused by hitting the wall, thereby improving the service life of the processing equipment 100.

[0035] At the same time, since the first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16 are provided, the motion component 20 no longer needs to collide with the first side wall 11 or the second side wall 12 to seek positioning, but can use the first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16 as positioning anchor points. Therefore, the first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16 can also be used as edge-finding sensors. For example, at each start or stop, the motion component 20 can move to the front of the first sensor 15 or the second sensor 16 and use it as the zero point of the motion component 20.

[0036] Furthermore, compared to the prior art, the motion assembly 20 of the present invention eliminates the wasted travel between the first sensor 15 and the first sidewall 11, and the wasted travel between the second sensor 16 and the second sidewall 12. This increases the effective working range of the motion assembly 20, thereby improving the motion accuracy of the motion assembly 20. Furthermore, the elimination of wasted travel that would otherwise cause collisions with the wall significantly improves the efficiency of the processing equipment 100. Given the same workload, the processing equipment 100 of the present invention can complete the work more quickly.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the motion component 20 moves to the front of the first sensor 15, the first sensor 15 is blocked. After the processing equipment 100 controls the motion component 20 to stop moving toward the first side wall 11, the processing equipment 100 can control the motion component 20 to stop or control the motion component 20 to move toward the second side wall 12. When the motion component 20 moves to the front of the second sensor 16, the second sensor 16 is blocked. The processing equipment 100 controls the transmission component to stop moving toward the second side wall 12, and the processing equipment 100 can control the motion component 20 to stop or control the motion component 20 to move toward the first side wall 11.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the processing equipment 100 further includes a workbench 40, the housing 10 is connected to the workbench 40, and the transmission assembly 30 is disposed on the workbench 40 and movably connected to the housing 10 and the workbench 40. Specifically, the housing 10 further includes a bottom wall 14 connected to the first side wall 11, the second side wall 12, and the third side wall 13. Thus, the processing equipment 100 is connected to form a structurally stable whole.

[0039] The workbench 40 is provided with a first limiting portion 41 and a second limiting portion 42. The first limiting portion 41 and the second limiting portion 42 are arranged opposite each other to define a working area 46 of the workbench 40. The first limiting portion 41 includes a first limiting plate 411, and the second limiting portion 42 includes a second limiting plate 421. The first limiting plate 411 is located on the side of the first limiting portion 41 and extends toward the second limiting portion 42. The second limiting plate 421 is located on the side of the second limiting portion 42 and extends toward the first limiting portion 41. It should be noted that the processing equipment 100 of this embodiment can be used on a cutting plotter to process thinner workpieces such as paper, self-adhesive stickers, car stickers, wall stickers, and sticky notes. The working area 46 refers to the processing area 461 after a workpiece is placed on the workbench 40. The first limiting portion 41 and the second limiting portion 42 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the workbench 40 to limit the width of the workpiece placed in the processing equipment 100.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, there is a preset distance between the first limiting plate 411, the second limiting plate 421 and the working area 46 for limiting the thickness of the workpiece entering the working area 46. During processing, when it is confirmed that the workpiece meets the width defined by the first limiting portion 41 and the second limiting portion 42, the workpiece is first placed in the working area 46 of the workbench 40. Then, the workpiece needs to be clamped between the first limiting plate 411, the second limiting plate 421 and the working area 46. On the one hand, such a setting limits the thickness of the workpiece being processed. If the thickness of the workpiece is thicker and exceeds the vertical distance between the first limiting plate 411 and the working area 46, the movable component may not be able to complete the cutting of the workpiece in subsequent processing. On the other hand, the first limiting plate 411 and the second limiting plate 421 can also play a role in pressing down the workpiece, which can prevent the workpiece from tilting and affecting subsequent processing operations.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, the processing equipment 100 further includes a third sensor 43, a fourth sensor 44 and a conveyor roller 50 arranged on the workbench 40. The third sensor 43 is located directly below the first limit plate 411. The fourth sensor 44 is located directly below the second limit plate 421. The conveyor roller 50 is arranged adjacent to the working area 46. When an external workpiece enters the working area 46 and blocks the third sensor 43 and the fourth sensor 44, the conveyor roller 50 rotates forward, sucking in the external workpiece and driving the external workpiece to move. The two ends of the conveyor roller 50 are movably connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12, respectively. A fifth sensor 45 is also provided on the working area 46, and the fifth sensor 45 is arranged close to the inner side of the working area 46.

[0042] In this embodiment, the third sensor 43, the fourth sensor 44, and the fifth sensor 45 may also be transmissive photoelectric sensors, diffuse reflection photoelectric sensors, or obstruction photoelectric sensors. Here, the third sensor 43, the fourth sensor 44, and the fifth sensor 45 are diffuse reflection photoelectric sensors as an example for description.

[0043] The processing equipment 100 has a pre-working state and a working state and can switch between the pre-working state and the working state. The pre-working state refers to a state in which the workpiece is fed into the working area 46 and the motion component 20 has not yet started processing the workpiece. Therefore, in the pre-working state, the motion component 20 is not working. The motion component 20 uses the first sensor 15 or the second sensor 16 as a reference point and is set at a set working zero point (for example, directly in front of the first sensor 15, directly in front of the second sensor, the midpoint of the first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16, etc., which can be set according to needs).

[0044] When the processing equipment 100 is in the pre-working state, the motion component 20 is stationary, and the user can place the external workpiece on the workbench 40. Since the third sensor 43 and the fourth sensor 44 are located directly below the first limit plate 411 and the second limit plate 421, respectively, when the workpiece is correctly placed, the third sensor 43 and the fourth sensor 44 will be blocked, resulting in a change in the light flux. The processing equipment 100 can identify the change in the light flux fed back by the third sensor 43 and the fourth sensor 44 and control the rotation of the conveyor roller 50. The rotation of the conveyor roller further sucks in the external workpiece and conveys it. In this embodiment, the third sensor 43, the fourth sensor 44 and the fifth sensor 45 also act as edge finders. The third sensor 43 or the fourth sensor 44 can be used as an anchor point to determine the midpoint in the width direction of the workpiece, and the fifth sensor 45 can be used as an anchor point to determine the zero point in the length direction of the workpiece, thereby determining the processing center of the workpiece.

[0045] It should be noted that the present invention defines the aforementioned situation that the width and thickness of the workpiece cannot exceed the preset range as a prerequisite for the workpiece to be placed. The workpiece can only be placed if the prerequisite for the workpiece to be placed is met. Therefore, the definition of incorrect placement of the workpiece here refers to the situation where the workpiece is misoperated when the prerequisite for placement is met. For example, when the workpiece is placed, it is accidentally placed above the first limit plate 411 and the second limit plate 421. At this time, the third sensor 43 and the fourth sensor 44 are not blocked, so the processing equipment 100 will not control the rotation of the conveying roller 50, and the workpiece will not be sucked in. When the user finds that the workpiece has not been sucked in, it can be determined that the workpiece is placed abnormally. For example, when the user puts in a workpiece whose width is significantly smaller than the working area 46, the workpiece cannot effectively block the third sensor 43 and the fourth sensor 44, and the workpiece cannot be sucked in for subsequent processing. The setting of the third sensor 43 and the fourth sensor 44 further ensures the safety of the processing and avoids the occurrence of abnormal processing.

[0046] After a workpiece is drawn into the conveyor roller 50, it is necessary to determine when processing can begin. In other words, it is necessary to determine when the processing equipment 100 transitions from the pre-operating state to the operating state. To address this issue, the present invention introduces the fifth sensor 45. In the pre-operating state, when the conveyor roller 50 rotates forward, the workpiece is driven toward the interior of the working area 46. The fifth sensor 45 is located on the inner side of the working area 46. When an external workpiece is conveyed further into the working area 46 and blocks the fifth sensor 45, the light flux emitted by the fifth sensor 45 changes. The processing equipment 100 receives the light flux information from the fifth sensor 45 and controls the conveyor roller to stop rotating. The pre-operating state then ends. When the fifth sensor 45 remains blocked for a predetermined period of time, the processing equipment 100 transitions from the pre-operating state to the operating state. The conveyor roller 50 can switch between forward rotation, reverse rotation, and non-rotation. The motion assembly 20 moves between the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12 to process the workpiece.

[0047] It should be noted that after entering the working state, the conveying roller 50 does not remain stationary, but rotates selectively according to the processing requirements of the workpiece. In the working state, the conveying roller 50 has three working states. Specifically, the conveying roller 50 can rotate in the forward direction to further suck the workpiece in, which makes it convenient for the motion component 20 to process different areas of the workpiece. The conveying roller 50 can also rotate in the reverse direction to spit out the workpiece, making it convenient to remove the processed workpiece, or to facilitate the workpiece to be re-absorbed for the next processing operation. The conveying roller 50 can also not rotate. At this time, the conveying roller 50 is also equivalent to a fixing device, which can cooperate with the first limit plate 411 and the second limit plate 421 to further fix the workpiece, keep the workpiece in a tensioned state, prevent the workpiece from moving, and thus facilitate the processing of the workpiece by the motion component 20. It can also be seen from this that when the processing equipment 100 is in the working state, the motion component 20 does not remain in motion throughout the entire process.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the processing equipment 100 further includes a first guide rod 60, a drive roller 80, and a second guide rod 70. The first guide rod 60, the drive roller 80, and the second guide rod 70 are parallel to each other and arranged from top to bottom. The ends of the first guide rod 60 and the second guide rod 70 are respectively connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12. The ends of the drive roller 80 are respectively rotatably connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12. The motion assembly 20 is movably connected to the first guide rod 60 and the second guide rod 70. The first guide rod 60 is located at the rear side of the motion assembly 20, and the motion assembly 20 is capable of moving along the first guide rod 60, the drive roller 80, and the second guide rod 70. In this embodiment, the first guide rod 60 and the second guide rod 70 can be fixedly connected to the housing 10 by fixing members, such as screws, that is, the first guide rod 60 and the second guide rod 70 cannot rotate. The drive roller 80 is movably connected to the housing 10, that is, the drive roller 80 can rotate. The first guide rod 60, the driving roller 80, and the second guide rod 70 serve to limit and guide the motion assembly 20. Because the first guide rod 60, the driving roller 80, and the second guide rod 70 are disposed parallel to and between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12, the motion assembly 20 can move horizontally between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the moving assembly 20 includes a moving part 23, a tool 24 and a mounting seat 25, and the driving roller 80 and the second guide rod 70 pass through the moving part 23. The driving roller 80 passes through the middle of the moving part 23, and the second guide rod 70 passes through the lower part of the moving part 23, so that the moving part 23 is stably fixed and not prone to shaking. The mounting part is movably connected to the moving part 23, and the tool 24 is movably clamped in the mounting seat 25. The tool 24 can be used to install workpiece processing equipment of different specifications, such as a tool head (not shown) for processing the workpiece on the working area 46, or the tool can be directly a workpiece processing equipment, such as a pen, syringe, drawing stick, etc. The rotation of the driving roller 80 can drive the mounting seat 25 to move up and down, and then drive the tool 24 to move up and down, thereby controlling the processing depth of the tool 24 on the workpiece. During the movement of the motion assembly 20, the orthographic projection of the tool 24 always falls within the scope of the working area 46, that is, the movement range of the tool 24 does not exceed the scope of the working area 46. Specifically, during the movement of the motion assembly 20 along the second guide rod 70 and the drive roller 80, due to the provision of the first sensor 15 and the second sensor 16, the tool 24 of the motion assembly 20 has a maximum horizontal movement range. The maximum horizontal movement range of the tool 24 is always within the working area 46, which means that the processing accuracy of the motion assembly 20 is higher. At the same time, because the working area 46 is defined by the first limit portion 41 and the second limit portion 42, the tool 24 will not hit the first limit portion 41 and the second limit portion 42 on the workbench 40 during horizontal movement within the working area 46, thereby improving the safety of operation.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the work area 46 also includes a processing area 461. The orthographic projection of the tool 24 always falls within the processing area 461. In this embodiment, the example of a tool 24 with a cutter head mounted thereon is used for illustration. The processing area 461 can be a groove. Because the tool 24 is mounted within the movable member 23, the cutter head also has a maximum horizontal travel range. The width of the processing area 461 is not less than the maximum horizontal travel range of the cutter head. In other words, the configuration of the processing area 461 corresponds to the travel range of the cutter head. Since the cutter head moves up and down to control the processing depth of the workpiece, and the cutter head is relatively sharp, when the workpiece is completely cut, the cutter head will inevitably contact the processing area 461. If the processing area 461 is not protected, the service life of both the workbench 40 and the cutter head will be affected. Therefore, in this embodiment, the processing area 461 is configured as a groove, which provides the cutter head with more space for cutting, prevents the cutter head from contacting the bottom of the groove, and thereby extends the service life of the workbench 40 and the cutter head. Alternatively, in other embodiments, a flexible material such as silicone or rubber may be laid at the bottom of the processing area 461. This way, even if the cutter head touches the bottom, it will not be damaged, and the service life of the workbench 40 and the cutter head can also be extended.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, the moving part 23 further includes a first mounting plate 21, the first mounting plate 21 being stacked on the moving part 23, an L-shaped baffle 211 being provided on the upper portion of the outer side of the first mounting part, the L-shaped baffle 211 being connected to the first mounting part to define a limited space, and the first guide rod 60 being partially clamped within the limited space. Since the cutter head on the tool 24 will vibrate during the machining process, the vibration may be transmitted to the moving part 23, thereby causing the moving part 23 to vibrate up and down, therefore, a first guide rod 60 and an L-shaped baffle 211 cooperating with the first guide rod 60 are provided. Since the first guide rod 60 is partially clamped within the limited space, and the first guide rod 60 is fixedly disposed between the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12, the first guide rod 60 limits the upward movement of the moving part 23, and therefore, the mounting seat 25 can only move up and down to a limited extent. This embodiment does not limit the connection method between the first mounting plate 21 and the moving part 23. For example, the first mounting plate can be detachably connected to the moving part 23 through fixing parts such as screws, or the first mounting plate 21 can also be fixedly connected to the moving part by welding, hot melt fixing, etc., only need to ensure the normal operation of the moving component.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, one or more vertically protruding ribs are provided on the first mounting plate 21 facing the L-shaped baffle 211, or one or more vertically protruding ribs are provided on the L-shaped baffle 211 facing the first mounting plate 21. These ribs further strengthen the connection stability between the L-shaped baffle 211, the first mounting plate 21, and the first guide rod 60, thereby reducing vibration of the moving assembly.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the transmission assembly 30 includes a motor (not shown), a transmission belt 33, a driving wheel 31 and at least one driven wheel 32. The transmission belt 33 is in transmission connection with the driving wheel 31 and the driven wheel 32. The motor is connected to the output shaft of the driving wheel 31. The motor can rotate forward or reverse. When the motor rotates, it drives the driving wheel 31 to rotate, thereby driving the transmission belt 33 and the driven wheel 32 to rotate.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the inner side surface of the transmission belt 33 is provided with a tooth groove 331. The motion assembly 20 further includes a second mounting plate 22, the inner side surface of which is provided with a latching tooth 221. The second mounting plate 22 is disposed on the rear side of the motion member 23. The second mounting plate 22 is connected to the motion member 23 to define a positioning space. The transmission belt 33 passes through the positioning space, and the tooth groove 331 of the transmission belt 33 is engaged with the latching tooth 221 of the second mounting plate 22. In this embodiment, the transmission belt 33 is a synchronous belt, and the driving pulley 31 is a synchronous gear. There are multiple driven pulleys 32, and at least one of them is a synchronous gear. This configuration enables more precise transmission of the transmission assembly 30, thereby making the motion of the motion assembly 20 more precise, and facilitating the processing of the workpiece.

[0055] In addition, this embodiment does not limit the connection method between the second mounting plate 22 and the moving part 23. For example, the second mounting plate can be detachably connected to the moving part 23 through fixing parts such as screws, or the second mounting plate 22 can also be fixedly connected to the moving part by welding, hot melt fixing, etc., and it is only necessary to ensure the normal operation of the moving component.

[0056] The operating principle of the processing apparatus 100 of the present invention is as follows: The processing apparatus 100 of the present invention is capable of processing a workpiece in three dimensions. Referring to Figure 1 , the horizontal movement direction of the motion assembly 20 is defined as the X direction (i.e., the direction of motion of the motion assembly 20 along the first guide rod 60 and the second guide rod 70). The drive roller 80 is rotated to drive the motion assembly 20 in the Z direction, which is defined as the vertical displacement direction. The workpiece movement direction is defined as the Y direction (i.e., the direction perpendicular to the conveyor roller 50). During the pre-operation phase, the workpiece is placed in the working area 46 and blocks the third and fourth sensors 43 and 44. The conveyor roller 50 then rotates, drawing the workpiece in the Y direction. Once the workpiece moves to the inside of the working area 46 and blocks the fifth sensor 45, the conveyor roller 50 stops rotating, and the processing apparatus 100 switches from the pre-operation state to the operating state. Once in the operating state, the transmission assembly 30 drives the moving member 23 in the X direction, while the drive roller 80 drives the tool 24 in the Z direction, driving the tool head to process the workpiece in both the X and Z directions. When the workpiece's Y-axis processing position needs to be adjusted, the conveyor roller 50 begins rotating to adjust the workpiece's Y-axis processing orientation. Once the adjustment is complete, the motion assembly 20 resumes its motion, initiating a new round of processing. The motion assembly 20, conveyor roller 50, and drive roller 80 are manipulated according to the processing pattern until the workpiece is processed. Compared to existing technologies, the motion assembly of the present invention avoids collisions with walls during processing, reducing processing noise while also improving processing accuracy and efficiency.
