The operating platform (14) is placed horizontally and cooperates with the side wall of the main body (1) on the same side to restrict the side of the polyurethane foam from aligning with the side of the nickel-chromium wire model (15) on the same side. When the operating platform (14) is raised to the highest position, its upper surface is tightly fitted with the nickel-chromium wire model (15) to ensure that the polyurethane foam is completely cut. The motor control module (10) is fixedly connected to the control motor (12) and is connected to the lifting switch (5) through another wire (8). The lifting switch (5) controls and drives the control motor (12) to drive the electric extension rod (11) to complete the lifting action.

2. A cutting device for polyurethane foam shape correction according to claim 1, characterized in that, The main body (1) is equipped with four casters (21) at the lower corners, which are equipped with brakes for supporting and moving the main body (1).

3. A cutting device for polyurethane foam shape correction according to claim 1, characterized in that, Of the two adapter bodies (16), one adapter body (16) is rotatably connected to one end of the rotating shaft (18) through a bearing (17), and the bearing (17) is interference-fitted to both. The other end of the rotating shaft (18) is fixedly connected to the main body (1). The other adapter body (16) is interference-fitted to one end of the other rotating shaft (18). The other end of the rotating shaft (18) passes through the side wall of the main body (1) and engages with the output end of the rotating motor (19). The rotating motor (19) is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the main body (1) on that side.

4. A cutting device for polyurethane foam shape correction according to claim 1, characterized in that, The support base (13) is fixedly installed on the platform of the main body (1) by tightening screws (9).

5. A method of using a cutting device for shaping polyurethane foam according to any one of claims 1-4, characterized in that, The method of use includes the following steps: Step 1: Move the cutting device to the designated position and complete the positioning and fixation; Step 2: Check and confirm that the cutting device is functioning properly; Step 3: Place the polyurethane foam to be processed above the operating table (14) and position it close to the side wall of the main body (1); Step 4: Select a suitable nickel-chromium wire model (15) inside the main body (1), lift it up, and move it along the upper sliding groove of the main body (1) to one side of the platform until the end of the nickel-chromium wire model (15) is inserted into the adapter (16). Step 5: Press the rotary switch (3) to control the adapter (16) to rotate until the nickel-chromium wire model (15) on the adapter (16) is placed horizontally. At this time, the thermal block (7) and the nickel-chromium wire model (15) are in complete contact. Step 6: Press the heating switch (4) and wait for the temperature of the nickel-chromium wire model (15) to rise. Wait until the temperature rises high enough to complete the heating step. Step seven: press the lifting switch (5), the electric extension rod (11) extends, drives the operating platform (14) to move upward until the operating platform (14) is in full contact with the nichrome wire model (15), at which time the polyurethane foam shaping is completed cutting; Step eight: press the heating switch (4) to stop heating, remove the polyurethane foam, press the rotation switch (3) to control the adapter (16) to rotate to the original position, and after the nichrome wire model (15) is cooled, it is put back into the main body (1) along the original path, and the lifting switch (5) is pressed to control the electric extension rod (11) to shorten, and the operating platform (14) returns to the original position; Step nine: move the cutting device to the designated storage position; Step ten: check the polyurethane foam after cutting, which is intact without burrs and the appearance meets the requirements.
