Description

A PROFILE PROCESSING MACHINE HAVING PROCESSING AND CUTTING UNITS
TECHNICAL FIELD
The present invention relates to a profile processing machine having a processing unit associated with a feeding conveyor and which has at least one tool, and at least one cutting unit associated with an output conveyor.
PRIOR ART
In the present technology, essentially window-like frames are formed wherein glass-like materials are put by means of cutting and shaping PVC profiles. Cutting and processing machines are used in cutting and shaping PVC profiles. Holes and channels are formed on the profiles which are needed for assembly of the profiles, cut in the cutting machine, in the processing machine.
Said cutting and processing processes can be realized on different machines, or said cutting and processing processes can also be realized on the profile processing machines comprising cutting units therein for providing automation. In said machines, the profile is carried and advanced by the conveyors. However, in said profile processing machines, the differences between the process durations between the cutting units and the processing units may lead to extension of the total process durations. For instance, when parts are fragmented in a profile cutting unit and when said parts are sent to a processing unit, since the processing durations are long, cut parts accummulate in the system or the cutting unit waits, and the profiles, which are in the form of parts, are continued to be processed in the processing unit.
As a result, because of all of the abovementioned problems, an improvement is required in the related technical field.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a profile processing machine, for eliminating the above mentioned disadvantages and for bringing new advantages to the related technical field. An object of the present invention is to provide a profile processing machine which reduces the incompliancies between the processing times of cutting and processing units and which decreases the total processing duration.
In order to realize the abovementioned objects and the objects which are to be deducted from the detailed description below, the present invention is a profile processing machine having a processing unit associated with a feeding conveyor and which has at least one tool and at least one cutting unit associated with an output conveyor. Accordingly, in order to provide transfer of the profile, processed in the processing unit, to the cutting unit as a whole, at least one transfer unit is provided between the processing unit and the cutting unit. Thus, after the profile is processed as a whole in the processing unit, it is transferred to the cutting unit by means of the transfer unit. Thus, when the profile passes from the processing unit to the transfer unit, processing of a next profile is started in the processing unit, in other words, there remains no need to wait for the cutting process in the cutting unit.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, a profile positioning axis is provided where the processes in the processing unit, the cutting process in the cutting unit and the transfer process on the transfer unit are realized and which extends in the same direction. Thus, the profile, advanced as a whole, is carried on a linear line and thus, the carrying duration is shortened.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the transfer unit comprises at least one holder jaw and at least one jaw carrier configured to move said holder jaw in the direction of said profile positioning axis for providing holding of the profile. Thus, the profile can be held by means of a single jaw and can be advanced in a rapid manner.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, at least one transfer plate is provided in the lower vicinity of the holder jaw. Thus, the profile can be driven on the transfer plate without needing to completely lift the profile.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, in order to provide compliancy of the processing unit to the operation durations of the cutting unit and the transfer unit, at least one first tool carrier and at least one second tool carrier are configured to move in an independent manner from each other and where the processing unit is positioned on the tools. Thus, processing can be realized in pluralities of regions in the processing unit and the total processing time is reduced. In a possible embodiment of the present invention, in order to provide fixation of the profile in the vicinities of the first tool carrier and the second tool carrier in the processing unit, at least one first profile fixation mechanism and at least one second profile fixation mechanism are provided. Thus, the profile is held from the tool carrier vicinities, and the vibrations, which may occur during processing, are reduced and the processing quality is increased.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, a first saw carrier and a second saw carrier are provided at the two mutual sides of the profile positioning axis of the cutting unit. Thus, alternative applications can be realized in the cutting method of the profile.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the first saw carrier comprises a first saw and a second saw such that there is an angle of 90 degrees in between. Moreover, in a possible embodiment of the present invention, said first saw and said second saw are positioned such that there are angles of 45 degrees between said saws and the profile positioning axis. Thus, the cutting manner, which is required for welding and joining of meeting rails, can be applied. In other words, cutting can be realized on the profiles in a manner forming V-like inlets, and, moreover, cutting in the form of arrow tip can be realized at the end parts of the meeting rail profiles in a manner compliant to said V-like inlets.
In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the second saw carrier comprises at least one angle changing unit configured to change the angle between a third saw thereof and the profile positioning axis. Thus, the profile can be cut at desired angles.

In other words, in the subject matter profile processing machine (10), the profile to be processed is transferred from the feeding conveyor (20) to the processing unit (30) and after said profile is processed in the processing unit (30), it is transferred to the cutting unit (50) by means of the transfer unit (40) as a whole and is cut in the cutting unit (50) and separated into pieces. The cut profile parts leave the profile processing machine (10) through the output conveyor (80). The profile essentially advances in a straight profile positioning axis (a) during advancing on said conveyors and on said units.
As can be seen in Figures 3-6, the processing unit (30) has at least one carrier body (31). There is at least one first tool carrier (32a) and at least one second tool carrier (32b) provided on said carrier body (31). At least one first profile fixation mechanism (33a) and at least one second profile fixation mechanism (33b) are provided in the region which remains between said first tool carrier (32a) and said second tool carrier (32b). Said first profile fixation mechanism (33a) and said second profile fixation mechanism (33b) fix the profile to the profile positioning axis (a). Moreover, the first tool carrier (32a) and the second tool carrier (32b) are positioned so as to stay at the two sides of the profile positioning axis (a).
In more details, the first tool carrier (32a) and the second tool carrier (32b) are configured to displace in predetermined axes in an independent manner from each other. Accordingly, the first tool carrier (32a) and the second tool carrier (32b) has one each lower plates (322). There are vertical plates (323) associated with said lower plates (322) and which extend vertically. Said lower plates (323) are connected to the carrier body (31) by means of one each Y-axis movement mechanism (321). Y-axis movement mechanisms (321) provide a parallel displacement of the lower plates (322) with respect to the profile positioning axis (a). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the Y-axis movement mechanism (321) has a linear rail-vehicle couple and is driven by means of a screwed shaft unit. There is one each carrier plates (325) provided at the upper vicinities of the lower plates (322). The vertical plates (323) are connected to the carrier plates (325) in a rigid manner. The carrier plates (325) and the lower plates (322) are connected to each other by means of one each X-axis movement mechanism (326). Said X-axis movement mechanism (326) provides the carrier plate (325) to move in a manner approaching and diverging from the profile positioning axis (a) essentially in an orthogonal direction. The X-axis movement mechanism (326) essentially has a linear rail-vehicle couple and is driven by means of a screwed shaft unit.
On the other hand, said first tool carrier (32a) and said second tool carrier (32b) are associated with the vertical plates (323) by means of one each Z-axis movement mechanism (324). Thus, the first tool carrier (32a) and the second tool carrier (32b) move in an essentially orthogonal manner and at a predetermined distance with respect to the profile positioning axis (a). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the Z-axis movement mechanism (324) has a linear rail-vehicle couple and is driven by means of a screwed shaft unit.
Multiple tools (327) are provided on the first tool carrier (32a) and on the second tool carrier (32b). Said tools (327) are positioned at a predetermined arrangement according to the works which are to be realized onto the profile which is to be processed. The tools (327) are configured to displace linearly and to approach and diverge from the profile positioning axis (a). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the tools are connected to the first tool carrier (32a) and to the second tool carrier (32b) by means of linear rail-vehicle couples. In a possible embodiment of the present invention, some of the tools are configured such that the angle between the profile positioning axis (a) and said tool can change. For providing this, the tools (327) are connected to the first tool carrier (32a) and to the second tool carrier (32b) so as to have rotational freedom; and they can be rotated by being driven by means of one each pneumatic cylinders.
The profile fixation mechanisms (33a), associated with the carrier body (31), are configured to displace in the profile positioning axis (a). In other words, the first profile fixation mechanism (33a) and the second profile fixation mechanism (33b) have one each chassis (332) and said chassis (332) is connected to the carrier body (31) by means of one each profile fixation movement mechanisms (331). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the profile fixation movement mechanism (331) is embodied to have linear rail- vehicle couple and screwed shaft unit. In another possible embodiment of the present invention, the rails which belong to the Y-axis movement mechanisms (321) are used in the profile fixation movement mechanism (331). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the first profile fixation mechanism (33a) and the second profile fixation mechanism (33b) have one each fixed jaws (333) and one each movable jaws (334). In said embodiment, the movable jaws (334) are configured to move towards the fixed jaws (333) by means of the drive received from at least one each drive source (335). The fixed jaw (333) forms the plane where the profile, which is to be processed, will be positioned. In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the fixed jaws (333) and the movable jaws (334) are provided to have pluralities of cylindrical elements.
As can be seen in Figures 7-10, the cutting unit (50) has a profile holder mechanism (52) positioned on a lower body (51) and a first saw carrier (60) and a second saw carrier (70) provided at two sides of said profile holder mechanism (52). Said profile holder mechanism (52) provides fixation of the profile, which is to be cut, in the profile positioning axis (a).
The first saw carrier (60) is connected to the lower body (51) by means of a first movement mechanism (63). Said first movement mechanism (63) is configured to approach and diverge the first saw carrier (60) to/from the profile positioning axis (a). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the first movement mechanism (63) has linear rail-vehicle couple and is driven by a pneumatic cylinder. There is a first saw (61) and a second saw (62) provided on the first saw carrier (60). Said first saw (61) and said second saw (62) are positioned such that there is an angle of 90 degrees in between. Moreover, the first saw (61) and the second saw (62) are positioned in a manner forming an angle of 45 degrees with respect to the profile positioning axis (a). At the same time, the first saw (61) and the second saw (62) are configured to move upwardly and downwardly, and thus, the cutting process of the profile can be realized.
There is the second saw carrier (70) on the side of the profile positioning axis (a) which is opposite with respect to the first saw carrier (60). The second saw carrier (70) is connected to the lower body (51) by means of a second movement mechanism (73). Said second movement mechanism (73) is configured to approach and diverge the second saw carrier (70) to/from the profile positioning axis (a). In a possible embodiment of the present invention, the second movement mechanism (73) has linear rail-vehicle couple and is driven by a pneumatic cylinder. Moreover, there is a third saw (71) provided on the second saw carrier (70). Said third saw (71) is connected to the second saw carrier (70) by means of an angle changing unit (72). Thanks to said angle changing unit (72), the angle between the third saw (71) and the profile positioning axis (a) can be changed. The angle changing unit (72) can rotate the third saw (71) essentially between +/- 45 degrees. At the same time, the third saw (71) is configured to move upwardly and downwardly, and thus, the cutting process of the profile can be realized.
As can be seen in Figure 11 , the transfer unit (40) has a holder jaw (41) configured to displace in a linear manner. In more details, the transfer unit (40) has at least one carrier foot (45). There is a jaw carrier (42) connected to said carrier foot (45) by means of a carrier movement mechanism (43). The holder jaw (41), provided on said jaw carrier (42), can displace along the transfer unit (40) thanks to the carrier movement mechanism (43). At the same time, the holder jaw (41) can realize opening and closing movement in a manner holding the processed profile. There is a transfer plate (44) provided in the lower vicinity of the holder jaw (41). The profile, coming from the processing unit (30), is placed onto the transfer plate (44). When the holder jaw (41) catches the profile and displaces, it drives the profile towards the cutting unit (50) on the transfer plate (44). In the subject matter profile processing machine (10), the transfer unit (40) positioned between the processing unit (30) and the cutting unit (50) is essentially provided in a compliant manner to the length of the profile which is to be processed. In other words, the transfer plate (44), where the profile is positioned, is provided at a length which can take whole of the profile. Thus, when the profile comes to the transfer unit (40), it is completely independent from the cutting unit (50) and from the processing unit (30). By means of this, in the cutting unit (50) and in the processing unit (30), it becomes possible that profiles, which are different from the profile, existing in the transfer unit (40), can be processed or cut. Thus, the waiting durations between the units are eliminated.
In the subject matter profile processing machine (10), the profile firstly comes to the processing unit (30) from the feeding conveyor (20). Since the first tool carrier (32a) and the second tool carrier (32b) can move in an independent manner from each other in the processing unit (30), process can be realized in an independent manner from each other at two different regions on the profile. Moreover, since the first profile fixation mechanism (33a) and the second profile fixation mechanism (33b) provided at the processing unit (30) can move in an independent manner from each other and since the first profile fixation mechanism (33a) and the second profile fixation mechanism (33b) can come to the vicinities of the first tool carrier (32a) and the second tool carrier (32b), the vibrations which occur in the profile are reduced and the processing precision is increased. The profile processed in the processing unit (30) is transferred to the transfer unit (40) as a whole. The transfer unit (40) catches the profile by means of the holder jaw (41) and transfers the profile to the cutting unit (50). Afterwards, the profile is cut through the required locations in the cutting unit (50) and fragmented into pieces and is removed from the profile processing machine (10) by means of the output conveyor (80). Since the third saw (71) can rotate at the desired angles in the cutting unit (50), the profile can be cut in the desired manner. Moreover, since the first saw (61) and the second saw (62), provided in the first saw carrier (60), are positioned such that there is an angle of 90 degrees in between; profile cutting, which is suitable for joining the meeting rails by means of welding, becomes possible. Moreover, thanks to these placements of the first saw (61) and the second saw (62), cutting of the profile with angles of 45 degrees from two different locations becomes possible by means of a single vertical movement of the second saw carrier (70). In other words, cutting can be realized so as to form V-like inlets on the profiles and moreover, cutting, which is in the form of an arrow tip in a compliant manner to the V-like inlets, can be realized at the end parts of the meeting rail profiles. In the cutting unit (50), the cut profiles are removed from the profile processing machine (10) by means of the output conveyor (80).

It is because a person skilled in the relevant art can obviously produce similar embodiments under the light of the foregoing disclosures, without departing from the main principles of the present invention.
