Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a machine for cutting blocks of stone material or concrete manufactured products.
  • machine which forms the subject matter of the present invention can be used to cut any block of stone material or any concrete manufactured product, it is preferably intended for use for cutting precast reinforced concrete manufactured products.
  • precast reinforced concrete pipes or beams such as those used to build warehouses, bridges, etc., to which specific references are made below.
  • Such beams are normally produced by casting the concrete in a mould in which the metal reinforcement was previously prepared.
  • Very long beams (for example around 100 - 150 m) are normally produced, which must then be cut into lengths corresponding to the requirements of the end user.
  • a first technique involves substantially manual cutting, using a machine with a disk for cutting concrete and an oxy-hydrogen flame for cutting metal parts.
  • the second technology involves the use of a machine consisting mainly of two opposite vertical cutter disks positioned transversally to the direction in which the beam extends.
  • the machine is very large since, for mechanical strength reasons, only around one third of the height of each disk can actually be used for cutting.
  • the beam in order to cut it, the beam must be lifted off the ground, which is not easy considering the size of the beam.
  • this machine only allows the beam to be cut according to vertical cutting planes perpendicular to the direction in which the beam extends.
  • Patents US 3,158,146 and US 5,173,250 also describe two machines respectively for cutting blocks of stone material and walls of nuclear reactors, although not suitable for cutting precast beams made of reinforced concrete or the like.
  • the technical need which forms the basis of the present invention is to provide a machine for cutting blocks of stone material or concrete manufactured products which overcomes the above-mentioned disadvantages.
  • the technical need of the present invention is to provide a machine for cutting blocks of stone material or concrete manufactured products which has limited dimensions and minimised operating cost.
  • a further technical need of the present invention is to provide a machine for cutting blocks of stone material or concrete manufactured products which allows a precast beam to be cut according to any predetermined profile.
  • Another technical need of the present invention is to provide a machine for cutting blocks of stone material or concrete manufactured products which guarantees greater operator safety than the known machines.
  • the numeral 1 denotes as a whole a machine for cutting blocks 2 of stone material or concrete manufactured products in accordance with the present invention.
  • the machine 1 comprises a supporting structure 2 consisting of two vertical uprights 3 distanced from one another and a crosspiece 4 rigidly connected on top of the two uprights 3.
  • each vertical upright 3 it also comprises a base 5 and an angled stiffening element 6 connected between the base 5 and the zone at which the upright 3 and the crosspiece 4 join.
  • the machine 1 also comprises at least one horizontal track 7 on which the supporting structure 2 is slidably mounted on wheels 8.
  • the structure is also operatively connected to drive means 9 (of the known type) so that when the command is given the structure moves along the track 7.
  • FIG. 1 Under the crosspiece 4 of the supporting structure 2 there is a zone 10 for positioning an element to be cut, which in the embodiment illustrated in Figure 1 consists of a reinforced concrete beam 11 ( Figure 1 also schematically illustrates the mould 12 for the beam 11) resting on its own supporting element 13.
  • a wire cutting device 14 is slidably mounted on the supporting structure 2 according to a vertical sliding direction.
  • the machine 1 comprises a carriage 15 slidably connected, at its ends, to the vertical uprights 3, and at least one thrust block 16 rotatably connected under the carriage 15 and supporting the cutting device 14, which can therefore rotate relative to the supporting structure 2 about a substantially vertical axis of rotation (Figure 2 illustrates two possible cutting device 14 angles with dashed lines).
  • the carriage 15 is operatively connected to drive means 17 which move the cutting device 14 vertically relative to the structure 2, whilst the thrust block 16 is operatively connected to rotation means 18 which, when the command is given, cause the cutting device 14 to rotate, again relative to the supporting structure 2.
  • the cutting device 14 has at least one driving pulley 19, at least two idle return pulleys 20 coplanar with the driving pulley 19, and a cutting wire 21 which runs along a looped path formed by the driving pulley 19 and the idle pulleys 20. In the embodiment illustrated there are also two additional return pulleys 22.
  • the idle pulleys 20 form between them an operating section 23 along the path of the cutting wire 21, where the element to be cut is cut.
  • the cutting device 14 also has at least two arms 24 which mainly extend vertically and are capable of reciprocal movement according to a substantially horizontal direction parallel with the plane in which the cutting wire 21 lies.
  • each arm 24 is illustrated in a closed position and in an open position.
  • One of the idle pulleys 20 is rotatably connected to each arm 24, at one end of the arm 24 close to the operating section 23.
  • the looped path of the cutting wire 21 has two secondary sections 25 extending mainly vertically.
  • the secondary sections 25 and the operating section 23 form an offshoot of the path of the cutting wire 21 which extends towards the positioning zone 10, and which allows the cutting device 14 to be inserted in the space in the mould 12.
  • the secondary sections 25 extend substantially parallel with the arms 24, or within the maximum dimensions of the arms 24.
  • each arm 24 can rotate about an axis of rotation substantially perpendicular to the plane in which the cutting wire 21 lies and distanced from the axis of rotation of the idle pulleys 20. In the embodiment illustrated this axis of rotation passes through the end of the arm 24 opposite that supporting the idle pulley.
  • Tensioning means 26 consisting of two actuators, are operatively connected to each arm 24 to make it rotate and so tension the cutting wire 21.
  • the distance between the two arms 24 is determined by spacer means 27 also consisting of two actuators.
  • spacer means 27 also consisting of two actuators.
  • the cutting device 14 has a telescopic shape.
  • Figure 2 shows how the track 7 also extends mainly perpendicular to the plane in which the structure 2 lies.
  • the machine 1 also comprises a programmable electronic control unit 28 operatively connected to the mobile parts of the machine 1 to control their movements.
  • control unit 28 allows simultaneous activation of the drive means 17, the rotation means 18, the tensioning means 26, the spacer means 27, the driving pulley 19 and the drive means 9.
  • beams can be cut and ends shaped as required can be created on the individual lengths.
  • the machine 1 can cut both horizontally and vertically and according to angled or curved cutting planes or surfaces, as required.
  • the machine 1 when intended for cutting reinforced concrete, the machine 1 preferably also comprises a system 28 for detecting the machine 1 absorbed power during a cutting operation, operatively connected to the control unit 28.
  • the control unit 28 is in turn programmed to vary the cutting device 14 speed of vertical movement according to the machine 1 absorbed power, in particular reducing the speed of movement when the machine 1 absorbed power increases.
  • the speed of forward movement may be higher when cutting concrete (step during which power absorption is relatively low) whilst it must be lower when cutting metal (step during which power absorption is relatively high).
  • the detection system 28 measures the electrical current absorbed by the machine 1 (which, the power supply voltage being equal, is proportional to the power).
  • Machine 1 operation is immediately derived from the above description.
  • the idle pulleys 20 are kept as close as possible to the element to be cut, at the same time guaranteeing correct tensioning of the cutting wire 21, by operating appropriately on the rotation and distancing of the arms 24 from one another.
  • the present invention brings important advantages.
  • the machine for cutting blocks of stone material or concrete manufactured products disclosed has limited dimensions and a minimised operating cost, thanks to the high cutting speeds, much greater than can be achieved with manual cutting.
  • the machine allows cuts to be made according to any predetermined profile.
