The present application provides a truss footing cutoff device, which can achieve the automatic cutoff of a truss footing 100 of a truss 10 without the manual cutoff, and thus has a higher automation degree, improves the production efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of the operator and the potential safety hazard.
As shown in FIGS. 2 to 5, the truss footing cutoff device includes a rack 1, a fixed blade holder 2, a fixed blade 3, a cutoff arm 4, a movable blade 5, a driving member 6 and a transmission assembly 7.
The rack 1 is configured to carry the fixed blade holder 2, the fixed blade 3, the cutoff arm 4, the movable blade 5, the driving member 6 and the transmission assembly 7 to achieve the cutoff operation of the truss footing 100.
The fixed blade holder 2 is fixed to the rack 1 and is optionally placed at a top position of the rack 1. A shape of the fixed blade holder 2 is adapted to a shape of the truss 10. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, the fixed blade holder 2 includes a supporting part 21 and mounting parts 22 located at two sides of the supporting part 21. The supporting part 21 is substantially in an inverted trapezoidal structure, and the truss 10 can be placed on and supported by the support part 21. The mounting part 22 is configured to fix and mount the fixed blade 3, and when the truss 10 is placed on the support part 21, the truss footing 100 can be placed on the fixed blade 3.
The cutoff arm 4 is mounted on the rack 1 and is rotatable relative to the rack 1.As shown in FIG. 4, an upper-middle position of the cutoff arm 4 is rotatably connected to the rack 1 through a rotary shaft. The movable blade 5 is mounted at one end of the cutoff arm 4 close to the rotary shaft, and the movable blade 5 can get close to or move away from the fixed blade 3 with the rotation of the cutoff arm 4. When the cutoff arm 4 drives the movable blade 5 to get close to the fixed blade 3, the movable blade 5 and the fixed blade 3 cooperate to cut the truss footing 100.
Exemplarily, in this embodiment, two cutoff arms 4 are symmetrically arranged on the rack 1, and correspondingly, two movable blades 5 and two fixed blades 3 are also symmetrically arranged, thereby achieving the cutoff of truss footings 100 on two sides of the truss 10.
The driving member 6 is configured to drive the cutoff arm 4 to rotate relative to the rack 1. The driving member 6 may be a motor or a deceleration motor. Two driving members 6 may be provided, where each driving member 6 drives one cutoff arm 4 to rotate so as to cut off the truss footing 100. Optionally, the two driving members 6 synchronously operate to synchronously cut off the truss footings 100 on two sides of the truss 10 at a same position, thereby improving the cutoff efficiency.
Considering the production cost, in this embodiment, , only one driving member 6 may be provided, and in this case, the driving member 6 drives the cutoff arms 4 to rotate through the transmission assembly 7. Referring to FIGS. 2 and 5, the above transmission assembly 7 includes a crankshaft 71, connecting arms 72 and connecting rods 73.
The crankshaft 71 is rotatably mounted on the rack 1 and can be driven by the driving member 6 to rotate. The crankshaft 71 is provided with a first connecting part 711 and a second connecting part 712. One connecting arm 72 is rotatably connected to the first connecting part 711 and the other connecting arm 72 is rotatably connected to the second connecting part 712. One end of each connecting arm 72 is rotatably connected to one end of a respective connecting rod 73, the other end of the respective connecting rod 73 is rotatably connected to one cutoff arm 4. In this way, when the connecting arm 72 is driven by the crankshaft 71 to stretch out or draw back, the connecting arm 72 can drive the cutoff arm 4 to rotate, and then the cutoff arm 4 drives the movable knife 5 to get close to or move away from the fixed blade 3.
Exemplarily, a central axis of the first connecting part 711 and a central axis of the first connecting part 712 are symmetrically arranged with respect to a centerline of the crankshaft 71. The central axis of the first connecting part 711 and the central axis of the second connecting part 712 are symmetrically arranged with respect to the centerline of the crankshaft 71 so that when the crankshaft 71 rotates, the two connecting arms 72 can be driven to stretch out at the same time and then the two cutoff arms 4 and the two movable blades 5 can be driven to get close to the fixed blades 3 at the same time, so as to achieve the synchronous cutoff of the truss footings 100 on two sides of the truss 10; or the two connecting arms 72 can be driven to draw back at the same time and then the two cutoff arms 4 and the two movable blades 5 can be driven to move away from the fixed blades 3 at the same time.
When the truss footing cutoff device in this embodiment works, first, the truss 10 is placed on the supporting part 21 of the fixed blade holder 2, and the truss footing 100 is located on the fixed blade 3; then, the crankshaft 71 is driven by the driving member 6 to rotate, the crankshaft 71 drives the two connecting arms 72 to stretch out, and each connecting arm 72 drives the respective cutoff arm 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the cutoff arm 4 drives the movable blade 5 to get close to the fixed blade 3; and finally the movable blade 5 cooperates with the fixed blade 3 to cut off the truss footing 100.
After the truss footing 100 is cut off, the truss 10 continues to be transported backward to a truss shearing device, and an upper chord rib and a lower chord rib of the truss 10 are cut off by the truss shearing device, thereby completing the cutoff of the whole truss 10.

Embodiment two

The difference between this embodiment and embodiment one is that in this embodiment, the cutoff arm is not rotatably arranged on the rack, but is slidably arranged on the rack; the driving member is configured to drive the cutoff arm to slide; and the transmission component is not provided.
Optionally, a slide rail may be provided on the rack, and correspondingly, a slide block is provided on the cutoff arm. The driving member drives the cutoff arm to slide in a vertical direction, and the slide block and the slide rail can play roles of guiding and stably supporting.
At the same time, the driving member of this embodiment may be an air cylinder or an oil cylinder, and an output end of the air cylinder or the oil cylinder is connected to the cutoff arm. Two driving members may be provided. Each driving member is drivingly connected to one cutoff arm, and optionally, the two driving members synchronously operate so as to achieve the synchronous sliding of the cutoff arms. One driving member may also be provided, and in this case, a connection member needs to be provided. Two cutoff arms are fixedly connected through the connection member, an output end of the driving member is fixedly connected to the connection member, the connection member is driven by the driving member to move, and then the connection member can drive the two cutoff arms to slide at the same time.
The remaining structure of this embodiment is the same as the structure of the embodiment one, and will not be repeated here.
When the truss footing cutoff device in this embodiment works, first, the truss is placed on the supporting part of the fixed blade holder, and the truss footing is located on the fixed blade 3; then, the cutoff arm is driven by the driving member to slide downwards, and the movable blade on the cutoff arm is driven to get close to the fixed blade, and finally cooperates with the fixed blade to cut off the truss footing.
When the truss footing is cut off, the truss continues to be transported backward to a truss shearing device, and an upper chord rib and a lower chord rib of the truss are cut off on the truss shearing device, thereby completing the cutoff of the whole truss.
In the present application, the movable blade 5 is driven by the cutoff arm to get close to the fixed blade 3, and then the movable blade 5 cooperates with the fixed blade 3 to cut off the truss footing 100. Thus, the automatic cutoff of the truss footing 100 of the truss 10 is achieved without the manual cutoff, having a higher automation degree, improving the production efficiency, and reducing the labor intensity of the operator and the potential safety hazard.
