Description:FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The present invention relates to an automated workpiece cutting device that is capable of ensuring accurate detection of workpiece dimensions in view of enabling precise cutting based on user-defined specifications while minimizing errors and optimizing material usage.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0002] Workpiece cutting is a fundamental process in manufacturing and fabrication, necessary for shaping materials into desired forms for various applications. The need for workpiece cutting arises from the requirement to transform raw materials, such as metals, plastics, and composites, into precise and functional parts for machinery, equipment, or structural components. Cutting operations are essential to achieve specific dimensions, contours, and surface finishes, ensuring that parts fit together correctly and function as intended. Different cutting methods, such as machining, sawing, laser cutting, or waterjet cutting, are chosen based on factors like material type, thickness, and required tolerances. workpiece cutting is vital for optimizing material utilization for reducing waste, and improving production efficiency. In industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics, precision cutting is crucial to maintain high quality standards and performance specifications. Moreover, cutting processes enable the creation of intricate geometries that otherwise be impossible to achieve through other means. The need for accurate workpiece cutting ensures that parts meet strict design, strength, and safety requirements, making it an indispensable step in the manufacturing process.

[0003] Traditional methods of workpiece cutting, such as manual sawing, turning, milling, and grinding, have been widely used in manufacturing for decades. These methods often rely on mechanical tools or machines to remove material from a workpiece, shaping it into the desired form. In manual sawing, a saw blade is used to cut through materials like wood, metal, or plastic, while turning and milling involve rotating a workpiece against cutting tools to shape it. Grinding, on the other hand, uses abrasive wheels to achieve fine finishes. While these traditional techniques were revolutionary at the time, they have several drawbacks. Firstly, they often lack the precision and consistency that modern techniques offer, resulting in less accurate parts and a higher risk of defects. The cutting speed is also slower, leading to longer production times and higher labor costs. Furthermore, manual methods depend heavily on the skill of the operator, which introduces variability and the potential for human error. These traditional methods also generate significant waste and material loss, as they often involve a substantial amount of excess material removal. Additionally, they are limited in terms of complex geometries, especially when compared to advanced cutting technologies like laser or waterjet cutting, which achieve more intricate shapes with greater efficiency and minimal waste.

[0004] WO2013167232A1 discloses about an invention that has a method for cutting a workpiece and a device suitable therefor. In the method, a notch geometry, which terminates in the workpiece, is introduced into the workpiece to be cut at least at one side along a separation line causing plastic deformation, and the workpiece is cut by shearing along the separation line. A burr-free cut or separation surface can thus be immediately produced.

[0005] US4445553A discloses about an invention that an apparatus for shaping a wooden workpiece according to a template configuration including a carriage supported on a motion translating device displaceable either longitudinally or transversely. A template follower is secured to the carriage and is engageable with selected templates. Any of a selected number of cutter heads may be brought into engagement with the workpiece by rotating a turret carrying the selected cutters to the desired position and engaging the cutter shaft with the motor shaft at a detachable coupling. Another embodiment of the invention utilizes a pantograph mechanism and is adaptable for use with conventional shapers.

[0006] Conventionally, many methods are available for facilitating cutting of workpiece. However, the cited invention lacks in comprehensive approach to address the various challenges associated with cutting processes. The traditional method fails to provide the level of precision, adaptability, and automation required for handling a wide range of materials and complex cutting tasks. These methods are also limited in terms of speed, customization, and real-time adjustments based on the workpiece's characteristics which lead to inaccuracies or wear over time, especially in high-demand environments.

[0007] In order to overcome the aforementioned drawbacks, there exists a need in the art to develop a device that requires to be capable of providing an automated and precise cutting solution which is capable of adapting to different materials and cutting requirements. The developed device needs to offer the ability to dynamically adjust to varying workpiece dimensions for ensuring consistent and accurate cuts with minimal human intervention for improving the efficiency, versatility, and precision of the cutting process for addressing the limitations of traditional methods.

[0023] As used herein, the singular forms “a,” “an,” and “the” designate both the singular and the plural, unless expressly stated to designate the singular only.

[0024] The present invention relates to an automated workpiece cutting device that is capable of automatically sharpening the cutting blades when required and prevents overheating for ensuring sustained performance, safety, and extended blade lifespan throughout continuous cutting operations.

[0025] Referring to Figure 1, an isometric view of an automated workpiece cutting device is illustrated, comprising a housing 101 positioned on a ground surface and installed with a platform 102, a touch enabled screen 103 is mounted with the housing 101, an artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104 mounted on within the housing 101, a pair of motorized sliding units 105 arranged on the platform 102 for translating a pair of cuboidal blocks 106 attached with the sliders, a cylindrical unit 107 suspended from a ceiling portion of the housing 101 via a hydraulic rod 108 equipped with plurality of horizontal blades 109 of different dimensions via plurality of L-shaped telescopically operated links 110, a motorized two-axis lead screw arrangement 111 configured with the rod 108, a circular guiding rail 112 installed around the unit, a robotic arm 113 assembled within the housing 101 and equipped with a grinding roller 114 and plurality of electronic valves 115 configured on the unit and connected with air blower 116.

[0026] The device disclosed herein includes a housing 101 that is developed to be placed on a stable ground surface for providing a solid base. Inside this housing 101, a platform 102 is installed specifically to accommodate the workpiece that needs to be cut. The platform 102 is typically flat and robust with adequate size and shape to securely hold the workpiece while it is being cut. The workpiece which includes but not limited to range from metals, plastics, or other materials, is placed on this platform 102 and remains stationary during the cutting process for ensuring precise and accurate cuts.

[0027] A touch enabled screen 103 is installed on the housing 101 that allows for intuitive user interaction with the device. The screen 103 acts as the primary interface through which the user provides input commands for the cutting operation that simplifies the operation of the device for enabling users to enter specific instructions such as the dimensions of the cuts to be made, the shape or contour of the workpiece, and the type of cut required. The user defines parameters like length, width, depth, and other geometric attributes, which are directly communicated to the device's inbuilt microcontroller. The touch screen 103 provides a user-friendly platform 102 in view of allowing for easy input adjustments for making the device accessible even to users with limited technical expertise.

[0028] A user interface on the screen 103 also display visual aids, such as diagrams or previews of the cut, helping the user to visualize the outcome before the cutting process begins. The screen 103 is developed to be highly responsive and durable which is capable of handling frequent inputs and providing clear feedback. Once the user specifies the dimensions and parameters for the cut, the touch-enabled screen 103 transmits this information to the microcontroller within the device. The microcontroller processes the input data and executes the cutting operation in precise accordance with the user's instructions.

[0029] An inbuilt microcontroller is linked directly to the touch-enabled screen 103, where the user inputs their commands. The microcontroller processes these commands and translates them into actions for actuating various components. When the user specifies the dimensions and cutting parameters for the workpiece, these instructions are transmitted to the microcontroller, which then communicates with other to ensure the correct cutting operation. The microcontroller activates and control an artificial intelligence (AI)-based imaging unit 104 that is mounted within the housing 101.

[0030] This imaging unit 104 is equipped with a camera capable of capturing high-resolution images of the workpiece. The AI (artificial intelligence) behind the imaging unit 104 processes these images in real-time to identify key characteristics of the workpiece, such as its dimensions, surface irregularities, and material properties. The imaging unit 104 take multiple images from various angles to ensure complete detection of the workpiece's geometry in view of allowing for precise and accurate measurement. By leveraging AI, the device is able to enhance the clarity and accuracy of the images, even when the workpiece has imperfections or irregular surfaces.

[0031] Once the imaging unit 104 captures and processes the necessary data, the dimensions of the workpiece are detected with a high degree of accuracy. The AI protocol analyze the images to extract critical measurements like length, width, height, and other relevant geometric features, which are essential for determining how the workpiece is to be cut. This data is then sent back to the microcontroller, which uses it to adjust and control the rest of the device for ensuring that the cutting process is customized according to the exact specifications of the workpiece.

[0032] Based on the detected dimensions, the microcontroller activates a pair of motorized sliding units 105 that are positioned on the platform 102. These sliding units 105 are developed to move along the platform 102 in a precise manner with the microcontroller providing the necessary input to guide them. Attached to these sliding units 105 are cuboidal blocks 106 in securely gripping the workpiece. The blocks 106 are developed to move towards each other or away from each other for depending on the detected dimensions in view of ensuring a firm hold on the workpiece from both sides. By translating the cuboidal blocks 106 with the motorized sliders, the device ensures that the workpiece is held in place without the risk of slipping or shifting during the cutting operation. This secure grip is crucial for maintaining accuracy and preventing any potential damage to the workpiece. The microcontroller coordinates the movement of the sliding units 105 and cuboidal blocks 106, in view ensuring that they adjust according to the specific size and shape of the workpiece as detected by the imaging unit 104.

[0033] A cylindrical unit 107 is suspended from the ceiling portion of the housing 101 via a hydraulic rod 108 to provide the necessary vertical movement and positioning for ensuring precise cuts along the desired path. The hydraulic rod 108 serves as the primary actuator for adjusting the height and positioning of the cylindrical unit 107, which is typically equipped with multiple horizontal blades of varying sizes. The blades are essential for performing different types of cuts depending on the dimensions of the workpiece. The hydraulic rod 108 enables smooth and controlled extension and retraction, allowing the cylindrical unit 107 to move precisely along the vertical axis and position itself accurately above the workpiece.

[0034] The hydraulic rod 108 is powered by a hydraulic unit that includes an oil pump, an oil reservoir, a cylinder, valves, and a piston. These work in collaboration to generate the force needed to extend and retract the hydraulic rod 108. The oil pump circulates hydraulic fluid from the oil reservoir into the cylinder, where the piston is pushed by the pressurized fluid. This creates the force necessary for extending or retracting the rod 108. The valves control the flow of the hydraulic fluid, ensuring that the rod 108 moves in the desired direction. The synchronization of these components within the hydraulic unit allows for smooth, precise, and continuous motion of the hydraulic rod 108 which in turn enables the cutting unit to be accurately positioned above the workpiece.

[0035] In addition to the hydraulic rod 108, the cylindrical unit 107 is equipped with the series of horizontal blades that vary in dimensions. These blades are mounted on a set of L-shaped telescopically operated links, which are developed to extend and retract in response to the detected dimensions of the workpiece. The telescopic links allow for a flexible cutting operation as they enable the blades to adjust to different workpiece sizes. The L-shaped configuration of the links ensures that the blades extend outward in a controlled manner for adjusting to the cutting depth and width required for each specific workpiece. The extension and retraction of these links are powered by a pneumatic unit which includes an air compressor, air valves, a piston, and a cylinder. The air compressor generates compressed air, which is directed into the pneumatic cylinder. The piston within the cylinder moves as the compressed air fills the cylinder, allowing the telescopic links to extend or retract as needed. The air valves regulate the flow of air into the cylinder, ensuring that the motion of the telescopic links is precise and responsive to the workpiece dimensions.

[0036] The hydraulic rod 108 controls the vertical movement of the cylindrical unit 107, while the pneumatic unit manages the extension and retraction of the telescopic links and blades. The coordination between these two allows for smooth and accurate cutting, ensuring that the correct blade is selected and positioned for the specific dimensions of the workpiece. The microcontroller receives data from the imaging unit 104 regarding the dimensions of the workpiece and uses this information to determine which blade is to be used for the cut. The microcontroller then communicates with both the hydraulic and pneumatic unit, commanding the extension or retraction of the rod 108 and the telescopic links accordingly. This ensures that the appropriate blade is selected, positioned at the correct height and cutting angle, and moved into place for the cutting operation. The entire process is automated which eliminates the need for manual intervention, and ensuring that the device make precise cuts based on the user-defined specifications.

[0037] A motorized two-axis lead screw arrangement is configured with rod 108 developed to provide precise control over the movement of the hydraulic rod 108 that suspends the cylindrical unit 107 with the cutting blades. This arrangement allows for fine-tuned, bi-directional motion of the hydraulic rod 108 in both horizontal and vertical directions, which is essential for aligning the cutting unit with the exact location and orientation of the workpiece. By integrating this lead screw arrangement, the device achieves the necessary precision to ensure that the cutting blades are correctly positioned, aligned, and optimized for the dimensions and geometry of the workpiece.

[0038] The lead screw is used to convert rotational motion into linear motion. In the motorized two-axis lead screw arrangement, two separate lead screws are employed, each operating along one of the axes (typically X and Y). These lead screws are attached to motors that provide the necessary rotational force. As the motors rotate the lead screws, the nut, which is threaded onto the lead screw, moves along its axis, converting the rotational motion into linear displacement. The accuracy of this conversion depends on the pitch of the lead screw threads and the precise control of the motors that drive them.

[0039] The two-axis lead screw arrangement is used to move the hydraulic rod 108 both horizontally and vertically which determines the position of the cutting blades over the workpiece. When the microcontroller receives data about the workpiece's dimensions from the imaging unit 104, the microcontroller uses this information to calculate the required position of the cutting blades. Based on these calculations, the microcontroller then sends signals to the motors driving the lead screws. These motors, in turn, rotate the lead screws, causing the nuts to move along the screws, which then drives the linear motion of the rod 108.

[0040] The two axes provide independent control of the rod's movement for enabling both fine vertical and horizontal adjustments to ensure that the cutting unit is properly aligned with the workpiece. For example, the X-axis movement adjusts the horizontal position of the rod 108, while the Y-axis adjusts the vertical position. The integration of these two axes is essential for ensuring that the cutting blades are moved into the precise cutting position, based on the specific dimensions of the workpiece. The microcontroller takes the dimensions of the workpiece, provided by the artificial intelligence-based imaging unit 104, and determines the precise coordinates where the cut needs to be made. The microcontroller then actuates the motors connected to the lead screw arrangement to move the rod 108 to the exact location. This motion is bi-directional which means that the rod 108 move both towards and away from the workpiece, as well as across different points of the workpiece for ensuring flexibility and adaptability for different cutting requirements.

[0041] Each of the telescopic links, which connect the cylindrical unit 107 to the blades, is equipped with a motorized slider. These sliders are mounted on a circular guiding rail 112 that surrounds the cutting unit. The circular guiding rail 112 allows the sliders to move smoothly in a controlled manner around the perimeter of the unit for facilitating precise control over the positioning and extension of the blades. This ensures that the cutting blades is accurately moved toward the workpiece based on user inputs and the detected dimensions of the workpiece.

[0042] The motorized sliders allow for the extension and retraction of the cutting blades for providing the necessary movement to place the blades in the exact position needed for cutting. The microcontroller processes the input from the touch-enabled screen 103, which specifies the cutting dimensions and the required positions of the blades. The microcontroller works with the imaging unit 104 which detects the dimensions of the workpiece, ensuring that the correct blade is chosen and aligned for cutting. Once the appropriate blade is selected, the microcontroller sends signals to actuate the motorized sliders.

[0043] The sliders are powered by motors which enable precise movement along the circular rail 112. These motors move the sliders along the circular guiding rail 112, translating the attached telescoping links and positioning the cutting blades. The design of the circular guiding rail 112 ensures smooth, controlled movement for minimizing friction and wear while maintaining the precision required for accurate cutting. The ability to move the sliders in a circular path allows for flexible positioning in view of ensuring that the cutting blades are extended or retracted based on the user-defined dimensions of the workpiece.

[0044] Each of the telescoping links attached to the motorized sliders is capable of extending and retracting, which directly influences the positioning of the cutting blades. The microcontroller directs the sliders to move the selected telescoping link, causing the associated blade to be positioned at the desired location. Once the blade is in place, the microcontroller then actuates the link attached to the blade and extending it to the required length. This extension ensures that the blade is aligned for a precise cut. The cutting blade is then ready to begin its cutting motion, which is facilitated by the further actuation of the hydraulic rod 108 which allows it to extend and retract continuously.

[0045] A robotic arm 113 is equipped with a grinding roller 114 that positioned within the housing 101 for allowing it to access and engage with the blades when necessary for sharpening operations. The inclusion of a grinding roller 114 within the robotic arm 113 enhances the device’s ability to maintain optimal blade sharpness for reducing downtime caused by blade dullness and improving the overall performance of the cutting.

[0046] The process begins with the microcontroller, which continuously monitors the sharpness of the cutting blades using a confocal sensor integrated within the housing 101. The confocal sensor is synchronized with the imaging unit 104 that captures real-time data about the condition of the blades. The confocal sensor works by measuring the distance to the blade’s surface and analyzing the edge's geometry to assess the sharpness. As the blades are used, they naturally experience wear and tear, and their sharpness diminish, which negatively impact the cutting performance by causing imprecision or longer cutting times. To ensure that this does not affect the quality of the cuts, the confocal sensor continuously checks the sharpness of the blades.

[0047] When the sensor detects that the sharpness of the blades falls below a pre-set threshold limit, signaling that the blades become dull or less efficient, it sends a signal to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then activates the robotic arm 113 to perform a sharpening task. This automated sharpening helps ensure that the device operates at peak performance without requiring manual intervention or downtime for blade replacement. The robotic arm 113 is developed with the flexibility to move and position the grinding roller 114 precisely onto the blade edges where this performs the necessary sharpening operation.

[0048] The grinding roller 114 itself is developed to gently but effectively grind the blade edges for restoring their sharpness without causing damage to the blades. The grinding roller 114 is controlled by the robotic arm 113, which moves it along the blade edge in a manner that is both efficient and precise. The robotic arm 113 operate with high flexibility and precision which has a range of motion that allows it to access all areas of the blade, sharpening it evenly and consistently. The arm’s movements are highly coordinated with the microcontroller, which ensures that the sharpening process is carried out only when necessary, avoiding unnecessary wear of the grinding roller 114.

[0049] A plurality of electronic valves 115 is connected to an air blower 116 for maintaining the optimal temperature of the cutting blades during the operation and preventing the blades from overheating, which is a common issue during high-speed cutting operations. The heating of the blades not only affect their performance and cutting efficiency but also cause damage to the blade material, reduce its lifespan, and lead to undesirable outcomes in the workpiece being cut. Overheating result in distorted cuts, excessive friction, and potential warping of both the blade and the workpiece which ultimately reduce the precision of the operation.

[0050] The electronic valves 115 are positioned around the cutting area, are connected to the air blower 116. These valves 115 are electronically controlled by the device’s microcontroller which processes real-time data and adjusting operations to ensure optimal performance. When the microcontroller detects that the blades are reaching a threshold temperature that lead to overheating, it activates the air blower 116. The air blower 116 is developed to generate a powerful flow of cold air, which is then directed towards the blades. The microcontroller not only triggers the blower 116 but also controls the opening of the electronic valves 115. These valves 115 are connected to channels that route the cold air directly to the blade area, ensuring that the cooling airflow is precisely directed where it is needed most. The electronic valves 115 are developed to open and close with high precision and speed.

[0051] When the microcontroller receives data indicating that the blade temperature is approaching a critical level, it activates the air blower 116 and opens the electronic valves 115 in synchronization. This process ensures that a steady stream of cold air is delivered to the blade surface, thus cooling it down quickly and efficiently. Once the desired temperature is reached or the cutting operation is completed, the microcontroller closes the valves 115 to stop the airflow, thus conserving energy and optimizing the device’s overall performance.

[0052] Lastly, a battery (not shown in figure) is associated with the device to supply power to electrically powered components which are employed herein. The battery is comprised of a pair of electrodes named as a cathode and an anode. The battery uses a chemical reaction of oxidation/reduction to do work on charge and produce a voltage between their anode and cathode and thus produces electrical energy that is used to do work in the device.

[0053] The present invention works best in the following manner, where the housing 101 as disclosed in the invention is developed to be positioned on the ground surface and installed with the platform 102 as disclosed in the proposed invention. The touch-enabled screen 103 allows the user to input specific cutting commands, including the dimensions of the workpiece. Once the input is provided, the microcontroller processes the commands and activates an AI-based imaging unit 104, which captures and analyzes multiple images of the workpiece to detect its precise dimensions. Based on the detected measurements, the microcontroller controls motorized sliding units 105 that secure the workpiece between cuboidal blocks 106. The cylindrical cutting unit, suspended from the ceiling by the hydraulic rod 108, is equipped with the set of horizontal blades, which are selected by the microcontroller based on the workpiece's dimensions. The two-axis lead screw arrangement adjusts the hydraulic rod 108 to align the cutting unit over the workpiece. The microcontroller also directs motorized sliders to position the selected blade correctly and extends the blade using telescopic links, initiating the continuous cutting motion. During the cutting process, the microcontroller monitors the blade’s sharpness via the confocal sensor and activates the robotic arm 113 with the grinding roller 114 to sharpen the blade if necessary and the electronic valves 115 control the air blower 116 to cool the blade, thus preventing overheating.
