Abstract
A band saw machine includes a chassis, a motor mounted to chassis, a driving wheel mounted to the chassis and connected with the motor, a driven wheel mounted to the chassis, a band saw running on the driving and driven wheels, a band-saw regulator mounted to the chassis and located between the driving and driven wheels, and a force sensor mounted inside the band-saw regulator for sensing how much a force is applied to the band-saw regulator in the process of cutting and for emitting a sensing signal to a control system. In this way, the control system can control the rotational speed of the motor according to the sensing signal received from the force sensor to automatically regulate the cutting speed.
Claims6
A band saw machine capable of automatically regulating cutting speed, comprising:
- a chassis;
- a motor mounted to the chassis and having a driving shaft;
- a driving wheel rotatably mounted to the chassis and connected with the driving shaft of the motor for making the driving wheel be driven by the motor for rotation;
- a driven wheel rotatably mounted to the chassis relative to the driving wheel;
- a band saw running on the driving and driven wheels;
- at least one band-saw regulator mounted to the chassis, located between the driving and driven wheels, and stopping against the band saw;
- at least one force sensor mounted inside the at least one band-saw regulator for sensing how much a force is applied to the at least one band-saw regulator in the processing of cutting and emitting a sensing signal each;
- and
- a control system electrically connected with the motor and the at least one force sensor for receiving the sensing signal and controlling power output from the motor to the driving wheel according to the at least one sensing signal.
