Description
Intelligent metal sheet slicing and cutting machine Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of metal plate grooving and cutting, and in particular to an intelligent integrated grooving and cutting machine for metal plates. Background Art
[0002] Sheet metal refers to a sheet material primarily composed of metal. It can be used in a variety of applications, such as waterproofing, insulation, and decoration for roofs, exterior walls, doors, and windows. The emerging mid- to high-end building materials and decoration industry places higher demands on the metal decorative materials it requires. These demands require the radius of the edge of the bent sheet metal workpiece to be as small as possible, with no refraction on the surface. Furthermore, the bent cross-sectional shape of the sheet metal workpiece must be more complex to better reflect the designer's trendy design style. Currently, traditional forced bending methods, free bending methods, and even three-point bending processes are no longer capable of bending sheet metal workpieces with small arcs. This means that bending sheet metal workpieces using a press brake alone cannot meet the designer's design requirements and cannot achieve the quality and decorative effect of mid- to high-end decoration.
[0003] Currently, a combined grooving and laser cutting machine can be used to grooving and cutting metal sheets. For example, the existing authorized patent publication number CN219131115U describes a metal sheet grooving and laser cutting machine with an air-avoidance structure, comprising: a frame, a grooving blade and a grooving blade mounting frame, a laser cutting head, and a workbench panel. The grooving blade and grooving blade mounting frame and the laser cutting head are movably mounted on the frame, and the workbench panel is mounted on the frame. The workbench panel is provided with an air-avoidance structure adapted to the laser cutting head, and the air-avoidance structure is an air-avoidance groove or an air-avoidance gap. Grooving and laser cutting of metal sheets can be performed on the same device, reducing manpower and material resources and shrinking factory space.
[0004] However, the current grooving and laser cutting combined machine has the following defects: First, the clamp cannot push the metal sheet to the maximum position, resulting in edge material transition loss; second, the metal sheet may have warped edges after grooving. Laser cutting under warped edges will seriously affect the cutting accuracy and may collide with the laser head and damage the laser cutting head; third, the height of the laser head is fixed before laser cutting is started, and the flexibility is not good enough.
[0005] Summary of the Invention
[0006] The present invention provides an intelligent planing and cutting machine for metal plates. On the one hand, by integrating the planing tool and the laser cutting head on the same device, that is, the existing planing and cutting processes of the plate are completed on two different devices respectively, the two processes are improved to be completed on the same device, that is, there is no need to convert equipment between the two processes of planing and cutting, thereby improving the processing efficiency of planing and cutting of the plate, reducing the number of operators and thus reducing the processing cost; on the other hand, by providing a connecting recess that is compatible with the clamp, the processed metal plate can be pushed to the edge as much as possible, reducing the width of the edge material and saving materials; furthermore, by providing a pressing plate device around the laser cutting head, the metal plate that is deformed after planing can be flattened, avoiding large errors in cutting, and at the same time avoiding the laser head from scratching the raised metal plate and being damaged, thereby protecting the laser cutting head. In order to solve the above problems, the technical solutions provided by the present invention are as follows:
[0007] The present invention provides an intelligent planing and cutting machine for metal sheets, comprising: an intelligent planing and cutting machine body, the intelligent planing and cutting machine body being provided with a work table, an auxiliary table, a laser cutting head, a grooving tool, a pressure plate, a clamp, a connecting recess adapted to the clamp, an air avoidance groove adapted to the laser cutting head and a chiller, the laser cutting head and the grooving tool being arranged on the intelligent planing and cutting machine body through a mounting plate, the cutter head of the grooving tool being projected onto the work table in the vertical direction, the nozzle of the laser cutting head being projected into the air avoidance groove in the vertical direction, the chiller being arranged at both ends of the intelligent planing and cutting machine body or being independently provided from the intelligent planing and cutting machine body, the chiller being connected to the laser cutting head; a capacitive height controller being installed on the intelligent planing and cutting machine body, the capacitive height controller comprising a preamplifier, the preamplifier being installed on the laser cutting head, the capacitive height controller being used to cooperate with the upper computer software to realize automatic tracking of the height of the laser cutting head during laser cutting.
[0008] In this way, by arranging a connecting notch that is compatible with the clamp on the inner edge of the worktable, the metal sheet being processed can be pushed to the very edge by the clamp as much as possible, reducing the width of the edge material and reducing material loss; by arranging a pressing plate device around or semi-around the laser cutting head, the metal sheet deformed by the grooving can be flattened and pressed before laser cutting, avoiding large errors caused by uneven cutting of the cut metal sheet, and avoiding damage to the laser head caused by scratching the warped metal plate, thereby protecting the laser cutting head; by arranging a chiller, and the chiller is connected to the laser head and the laser generator, circulating cold water can be used to heat the laser The light generator and the laser head are continuously cooled to avoid damage to the laser head due to excessive temperature; the grooving tool is vertically matched with the work table, and the avoidance groove is vertically matched with the laser cutting head, so that the metal sheet is supported by a hard and stable work table during grooving and has a corresponding avoidance groove during laser cutting, so as to prevent the metal sheet from deformation during grooving and from debris sticking to the edge and discoloration during laser cutting; by setting a capacitive height controller and a preamplifier, the height of the laser cutting head can be automatically adjusted and tracked in real time, thereby improving the degree of automation and cutting accuracy of laser cutting.
[0009] Furthermore, the work table and the auxiliary table are spaced apart in the longitudinal direction, and the gap between the work table and the auxiliary table forms the air avoidance groove, and the width of the air avoidance groove in the transverse direction is fixed or adjustable. The "longitudinal" mentioned in this practical application refers to the direction of the groove length when grooving on the metal sheet, and the direction of the cutting line when the metal sheet is cut and broken in a straight line; "transverse" refers to the direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction in the horizontal direction, that is, the pushing direction of the metal sheet from the rear end to the front end on the all-in-one machine.
[0010] Furthermore, the laser cutting head and the grooving tool are arranged on the main body of the intelligent planing and cutting machine through the same mounting plate, and the mounting plate can be controlled to move longitudinally on the main body of the intelligent planing and cutting machine, and the longitudinal movement of the mounting plate drives the laser cutting head and the grooving tool to move longitudinally.
[0011] Furthermore, the laser cutting head and the grooving tool are arranged on the main body of the intelligent planing and cutting machine through different mounting plates. The two mounting plates can be controlled to run longitudinally on the main body of the intelligent planing and cutting machine. The two mounting plates run longitudinally to drive the laser cutting head or the grooving tool to run longitudinally respectively.
[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of the pressure plates are arranged longitudinally on the work table, and the pressure plates cooperate with the work table to press and position the processed metal plates; a plurality of the connecting recesses are opened on the inner side of the work table, and the connecting recesses and the pressure plates are staggered in the longitudinal direction.
[0013] Furthermore, the receiving recess is flush with the front end of the pressing plate at the farthest point of the workbench.
[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a pressing plate device, which is arranged around or semi-around the laser cutting head. The pressing plate device can be controlled to move up and down, and a plurality of universal balls are arranged at the bottom of the pressing plate device.
[0015] The beneficial effects of the planing and laser cutting machine provided by the present invention are:
[0016] By setting a notch on the inner edge of the workbench that matches the clamp, the metal sheet being processed can be pushed to the edge as much as possible by the clamp, reducing the width of the edge material and reducing material loss; By arranging a pressing plate device around or semi-arranging the laser cutting head, the metal sheet deformed by grooving can be flattened and pressed before laser cutting, thereby avoiding large errors caused by uneven cutting of the cut metal sheet, and preventing the laser head from being damaged by scratching the raised metal sheet, thereby protecting the laser cutting head; by arranging a chiller, and the chiller being connected to the laser head and the laser generator, circulating cold water continuously cools the laser generator and the laser head, thereby avoiding damage to the laser head due to excessive temperature; by arranging the grooving tool and the worktable in a vertical direction, and the air avoidance groove and the laser cutting head in a vertical direction, the metal sheet is supported by a hard and stable worktable during grooving, and has an air avoidance groove corresponding to it during laser cutting, thereby minimizing deformation of the metal sheet during grooving, and preventing debris from sticking to the edge and discoloration during laser cutting; by arranging a capacitive height controller and a preamplifier, the height of the laser cutting head can be automatically adjusted and tracked in real time, thereby improving the degree of automation and cutting accuracy of laser cutting.
