Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of silicon rod processing equipment, and specifically relates to a fully automatic multi-station cutting machine and a method for material cutting. Background Technology

[0002] To improve the cutting efficiency of silicon rods, multi-station cutting machines are favored by the industry due to their high efficiency and high processing precision. For example, Chinese invention patent application number 202011504975.X discloses a multi-station cutting machine. This device includes a feeding mechanism, a clamping mechanism, a cutting mechanism, and a receiving mechanism, which are arranged sequentially along the processing direction. The clamping mechanism is located below the cutting mechanism and is used to clamp hard and brittle rods. Two or more support components are arranged sequentially on the base along the processing direction. A gap is provided between two adjacent support components to allow the cutting mechanism to pass through. A first power component is used to drive the support components to move relative to each other along the sliding track and change the distance between adjacent support components. A power unit is used to drive the lifting component to lift and lower the cutting component, so that the device can cut hard and brittle rods of any length, and can also independently cut a specific position of the hard and brittle rod.

[0003] However, in actual use, it was found that after the multi-station cutting machine cuts the material, it cannot automatically unload the head and tail materials. The unloading of the head and tail materials still needs to be done manually. This unloading method is not only inefficient, but also indirectly increases labor costs and is not conducive to the transformation of the workshop to fully automated processing. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is: how to provide a fully automatic multi-station cutting machine that can achieve automatic unloading.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A fully automatic multi-station cutting machine includes a transmission component, a cutting component, a transfer component, and a receiving component;

[0007] The cutting component is located on one side of the transmission component along its length.

[0008] The transfer component and the receiving component are located on the opposite side of the length direction of the transmission component;

[0009] The transfer component can reciprocate along the length and width of the transmission component.

[0010] Another technical solution of the present invention is: a method for cutting materials using the above-mentioned fully automatic multi-station cutting machine, comprising the following steps:

[0011] S1. The material is moved directly below the cutting component via the conveying component;

[0012] S2. After the cutting component moves to the designated cutting position, the cutting component is activated to cut the material, and the transfer component is moved directly below the head or tail material.

[0013] S3. After cutting, the head or tail material is transferred to the receiving component through the transfer component, and the cutting component is restored.

[0014] S4. The receiving component ejects the head or tail material from the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine, thereby completing the material cutting work.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The fully automatic multi-station cutting machine provided by the present invention has a compact structure and is easy to use. After the material is transported to the designated position by the transmission component, the cutting component can cut the material into multiple segments evenly. After the cutting work is completed, the transfer group takes the head or tail material from the transmission component and transfers the head and tail material to the receiving component. Finally, the receiving component further removes the head and tail material from the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine, thus completing the fully automatic cutting work of the material.

[0036] To explain in detail the technical content, objectives, and effects of the present invention, the following description is provided in conjunction with the embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0037] The most crucial concept of this invention is that after the material is transported to the designated position by the transmission component, the cutting component can uniformly cut the material into multiple segments. After the cutting work is completed, the transfer group removes the head or tail material from the transmission component and transfers the head and tail material to the receiving component. Finally, the receiving component further removes the head and tail material from the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine, thus completing the fully automatic cutting of the material.

[0038] Please refer to Figures 1 to 14 The fully automatic multi-station cutting machine provided by the present invention includes a transmission component 1, a cutting component 2, a transfer component 3 and a receiving component 4;

[0039] The cutting component 2 is located on one side of the transmission component 1 along its length.

[0040] The transfer component 3 and the receiving component 4 are located on the opposite side of the length direction of the transmission component 1;

[0041] The transfer component 3 can reciprocate along the length direction and the width direction of the transmission component 1.

[0042] As can be seen from the above description, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: a fully automatic multi-station cutting machine is provided. After the material is transported to the designated position by the transmission component 1, the cutting component 2 can cut the material into multiple segments evenly. After the cutting work is completed, the transfer group takes the head or tail material from the transmission component 1 and transfers the head and tail material to the receiving component 4. Finally, the receiving component 4 further removes the head and tail material from the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine, thus completing the fully automatic cutting work of the material.

[0043] Furthermore, the transmission component 1 includes two roller frames 11 that are parallel to each other in the longitudinal direction;

[0044] Each roller frame 11 includes a drive motor and roller sets 111 evenly distributed along the length of the roller frame 11;

[0045] The roller assembly 111 and the drive motor are connected via chain drive;

[0046] The roller sets 111 on the two roller frames 11 are arranged opposite each other. Specifically, the chain can be a roller chain, and the structure of the transmission component 1 can refer to the feeding mechanism of a multi-station cutting machine disclosed in Chinese Invention Patent Application No. 202011504975.X.

[0047] As can be seen from the above description, this design provides structural support for the transmission component 1 to drive the material to feed along the length direction of the transmission component 1.

[0048] Furthermore, lifting devices 12 are provided at both ends of the transmission component 1;

[0049] The lifting device 12 is connected to the roller frame 11.

[0050] Furthermore, the aforementioned fully automatic multi-station cutting machine also includes a floating support component 5;

[0051] The floating support 5 is located between the two roller frames 11.

[0052] As described above, after the conveying component 1 moves the material to the designated position, the conveying component 1, under the action of the lifting device 12, drives the material to move downward until the material presses against the floating support 5. Then, the cutting component 2 is activated to cut the material. The lifting device 12 enables the material to move up and down, which not only improves the stability of cutting with the assistance of the floating support 5, but also avoids interference between the cutting component 2 and the conveying component 1 during the downward movement. At the same time, the downward movement increases the gap between the conveying component 1 and the material, so that the transfer component 3 can move more smoothly under the head and tail materials to complete the head and tail material picking work.

[0053] Furthermore, the floating support 5 can reciprocate along the length of the transmission component 1.

[0054] As can be seen from the above description, after the cutting component 2 completes the material cutting work, the gap at the break point is small, which is not conducive to the reset work of the cutting component 2. If the floating support 5 can move back and forth along the length direction of the transmission component 1, it can orderly drive the segment material to move along the length direction of the transmission component 1 after the cutting work is completed, thereby increasing the distance between each segment material, so that the cutting device can smoothly return to the initial position and prepare for the next cutting work.

[0055] Furthermore, the cutting assembly 2 includes a horizontal drive element 21;

[0056] The horizontal drive element 21 includes at least two horizontal movable ends 211;

[0057] The direction of movement of the horizontal movable end 211 is parallel to the direction of conveying of the transmission component 1;

[0058] Each horizontal movable end 211 is equipped with a vertical drive component 22;

[0059] Each movable end of the vertical drive component 22 is equipped with a wire saw 221;

[0060] The moving direction of the movable end of the vertical drive 22 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the transmission component 1.

[0061] The cutting end of the wire saw 221 is positioned facing the conveying surface of the transmission assembly 1.

[0062] As can be seen from the above description, this design can effectively improve the flexibility of the cutting component 2, enabling the cutting component 2 to cut segments of any length as required, and limiting the number of horizontal movable ends 211, providing structural support for the cutting component 2 to carry multiple wire saws 221, thereby effectively improving the overall cutting efficiency, so as to simultaneously complete the cutting of head and tail materials as well as the cutting of middle materials.

[0063] Furthermore, the number of floating support members 5 is at least three.

[0064] As described above, this design provides structural support for the cutting machine to simultaneously cut the head and tail materials. Specifically, the floating support 5 can effectively support the head, middle and tail materials respectively, avoiding the problem of material tipping over due to uneven force during the cutting process.

[0065] Furthermore, the floating support 5 includes a support base 51 and at least four support columns 52 disposed on the support base 51;

[0066] The axis of the support column 52 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and the support surface of the support column 52 is set towards the material to be processed;

[0067] Along the transmission direction of the transmission component 1, the support columns 52 are arranged side by side in the clearance channel 14.

[0068] Furthermore, the floating support 5 also includes a locking cylinder 53;

[0069] The fixed end of the locking cylinder 53 is connected to the support base 51;

[0070] The movable end of the locking cylinder 53 is connected to the support column 52;

[0071] The direction of movement of the movable end of the locking cylinder 53 is parallel to the axis of the support column 52.

[0072] As described above, by setting at least four support columns 52, each cut segment of material can be reliably supported, thereby preventing the segment from falling off the transmission component 1. Through the cooperation between the locking cylinder 53 and the support column 52, the support column 52 can actively support the material. When the locking cylinder 53 comes into contact with the material and the pressure reaches a specified value, it stops rising and automatically locks to prevent the cylinder from leaking and retracting.

[0073] Furthermore, the floating support 5 also includes a horizontal drive device 54;

[0074] The movable end of the horizontal drive device 54 is connected to the support base 51;

[0075] The moving direction of the movable end of the horizontal drive device 54 is parallel to the transmission direction of the transmission component 1. Specifically, the horizontal drive device 54 can be a cylinder.

[0076] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the horizontal drive device 54, structural support is provided for the floating support 5 to reciprocate along the transmission direction of the transmission component 1.

[0077] Furthermore, the aforementioned fully automatic multi-station cutting machine also includes a first drive component 13;

[0078] The transfer assembly 3 includes a second drive unit 31 and a transfer rack 32;

[0079] The transmission component 1 and the second drive component 31 are connected by the first drive component 13.

[0080] The transfer rack 32 is connected to the movable end of the second drive component 31;

[0081] The direction of movement of the first driving component 13 is parallel to the length direction of the transmission component 1;

[0082] The second driving component 31 moves in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the transmission component 1.

[0083] Furthermore, the transfer assembly 3 also includes a traverse device 34;

[0084] The lateral movement device 34 is connected to the second drive unit 31;

[0085] The lateral movement device 34 includes a crawling component 341;

[0086] The lateral movement device 34 is connected to the first drive member 13 via the crawling assembly 341;

[0087] The direction of movement of the crawling component 341 is parallel to the axis of the material to be processed. Specifically, the crawling component 341 can be any commercially available device with a driving effect, such as a motor; existing transfer components are matched with peripheral equipment through rack 311 to achieve the effect of mutual movement with peripheral equipment, so a gear can be further set on the moving end of the motor to achieve the effect of meshing with rack 311.

[0088] Furthermore, the lateral movement device 34 also includes a guide assembly 342;

[0089] The movable ends of the guide assembly 342 and the crawling assembly 341 are located on the same side of the traverse device 34;

[0090] The guide component 342 is slidably connected to the first drive component 13. Specifically, the guide component 342 can be a guide block, which achieves a guiding function by cooperating with the slide rail.

[0091] As can be seen from the above description, through the cooperation between the crawling component 341 and the guiding component 342, the transverse moving device 34 can smoothly drive the transfer component 3 to move along the axis parallel to the material to be processed.

[0092] Furthermore, the second driving component 31 includes a rack 311, a transmission motor 312, and a drive gear 313;

[0093] The rack 311 and the second drive member 31 move in parallel directions.

[0094] The drive motor 312 is connected to the rack 311 via the drive gear 313.

[0095] As can be seen from the above description, this design provides structural support for the second drive member 31 to drive the transfer rack 32 in a direction perpendicular to the first drive member 13.

[0096] Furthermore, the second drive component 31 also includes a drive cylinder 314;

[0097] The transfer rack 32 is connected to the second drive component 31 via the movable end of the drive cylinder 314;

[0098] The moving direction of the movable end of the drive cylinder 314 is parallel to the moving direction of the second drive member 31.

[0099] As can be seen from the above description, since the displacement distance of the second driving member 31 is limited, after the second driving member 31 drives the transfer rack 32 to move to the limit position of the second driving member 31, the driving cylinder 314 can further drive the transfer rack 32 to move along the moving direction of the second driving member 31, thereby achieving the effect of extending the moving distance of the transfer rack 32, and thus being able to better pick up the head or tail material.

[0100] Furthermore, the second drive component 31 also includes a guide rail 315 and a slider 316;

[0101] Slider 316 is slidably connected to guide rail 315;

[0102] The transfer rack 32 is slidably connected to the guide rail 315 via the slider 316;

[0103] The length direction of the guide rail 315 is parallel to the moving direction of the movable end of the drive cylinder 314.

[0104] As can be seen from the above description, the cooperation between the guide rail 315 and the slider 316 can improve the movement stability of the transfer frame 32 and prevent the transfer frame 32 from deviating and shaking during the movement, thereby affecting the receiving of the head and tail materials.

[0105] Furthermore, the transfer rack 32 includes a first support frame 321, a second support frame 322, and a third support frame 323;

[0106] The first support frame 321, the second support frame 322, and the third support frame 323 constitute a trident structure.

[0107] As described above, in order to enable the transfer frame 32 to move completely below the head or tail material, i.e. to avoid interference between the transfer frame 32 and the floating support 5, the transfer frame 32 needs to be set as a trident structure. This allows the support column 52 on the floating support 5 to move smoothly into the gap formed by the first support frame 321, the second support frame 322 and the third support frame 323, thereby avoiding the problem of interference.

[0108] Furthermore, the second support frame 322 is located between the first support frame 321 and the third support frame 323;

[0109] Both the first support frame 321 and the third support frame 323 are provided with a first support seat 324;

[0110] The second support frame 322 is provided with a second support base 325.

[0111] Furthermore, the height of the first support 324 is higher than the height of the second support 325.

[0112] As described above, the first support 324 and the second support 325 can provide further support for the head or tail material, and ensuring that the height of the first support 324 is greater than the height of the second support 325 can indirectly lower the center of gravity of the head or tail material, thereby effectively improving the stability of the head or tail material during the transfer process.

[0113] Furthermore, both the first support frame 321 and the third support frame 323 are also equipped with roller support frames 326;

[0114] The length direction of the roller support frame 326 is parallel to the length direction of the second support frame 322.

[0115] As described above, when the head or tail material exits the transfer frame 32, the roller support frame 326 can effectively reduce the friction of the head or tail material during the movement process, thereby facilitating the pushing of the head or tail material.

[0116] Furthermore, the transfer assembly 3 also includes a pusher device 33;

[0117] The pushing end of the pushing device 33 is positioned towards the end of the transfer frame 32 that is away from the second driving member 31;

[0118] The feeding device 33 is connected to the movable end of the second driving member 31 or to the outer frame of the second driving member 31.

[0119] As can be seen from the above description, by setting a transfer rack 32 and a pushing device 33 connected to the movable end of the second drive member 31 or to the outer frame of the second drive member 31 on the movable end of the second drive member 31, the transfer component 3 can quickly push the material on the transfer rack 32 out of the transfer rack 32 by the pushing device 33 after taking the material, so as to improve the overall work efficiency.

[0120] The present invention also provides another transfer rack 32, which is provided with at least two positioning strips 327;

[0121] The axis of the positioning bar 327 is parallel to the moving direction of the pusher device 33.

[0122] As can be seen from the above description, the presence of the positioning strip 327 improves the stability of the material when it falls onto the transfer rack 32, preventing the material from shaking during the transfer process and causing it to slide out of the transfer rack 32.

[0123] Furthermore, the positioning strips 327 are arranged along the moving direction of the transfer frame 32;

[0124] The distance between the positioning strip 327 and the bottom of the transfer rack 32 gradually decreases from both ends of the arrangement direction toward the middle.

[0125] As can be seen from the above description, the design further restricts the layout of the positioning strips 327, so that multiple positioning strips 327 form a concave structure with high ends and low middle, so that materials of any size can be stably fixed on the transfer rack 32.

[0126] Furthermore, the movable end of the pushing device 33 is provided with a pushing plate 331;

[0127] The pusher plate 331 has an avoidance notch 332 at one end near the positioning strip 327;

[0128] The shape of the clearance notch 332 is consistent with the outer contour of the positioning strip 327.

[0129] As can be seen from the above description, by setting the pusher plate 331, the contact area between the pusher device 33 and the material can be increased, thereby improving the stability of the pusher process. In addition, setting the clearance notch 332 can prevent the pusher plate 331 and the positioning strip 327 from interfering with each other and affecting the normal pusher operation of the pusher device 33.

[0130] Furthermore, the feeding device 33 is provided with a cover plate 333.

[0131] As can be seen from the above description, since a large amount of cutting chips are generated during the cutting process, the cover plate 333 can play a certain blocking role to prevent the chips from accumulating in the gap of the pusher 33, thereby affecting the normal pushing operation of the pusher 33.

[0132] Furthermore, the transfer rack 32 is also provided with a clearance groove 328.

[0133] As can be seen from the above description, this design also helps to prevent interference between the transfer rack 32 and the floating support 5.

[0134] Furthermore, the receiving component 4 includes a third drive element 41 and a receiving basket 42;

[0135] The receiving basket 42 is connected to the movable end of the third driving component 41;

[0136] The moving direction of the third driving component 41 is perpendicular to the transmission direction of the transmission component 1;

[0137] Both ends of the receiving basket 42 and the transmission component 1, which are parallel to each other in the length direction, are provided with feed ports.

[0138] As can be seen from the above description, further defining the composition of the transfer component 3 and the receiving component 4 will enable the transfer component 3 and the receiving component to achieve automatic material receiving and automatic material unloading, thereby significantly improving the overall processing efficiency.

[0139] Furthermore, the number of transfer components 3 is two;

[0140] The receiving component 4 is located between the two transfer components 3;

[0141] The feed inlets at both ends of the receiving basket 42 are located within the movement range of the corresponding transfer frame 32. Specifically, the receiving basket 42 is equipped with barriers on both sides along its length; the gap between the same ends of the barriers along their length constitutes the feed inlet.

[0142] As can be seen from the above description, this design provides structural support for the orderly unloading of the head and tail materials by the transfer component 3.

[0143] Furthermore, the receiving component 4 also includes a lifting mechanism 43;

[0144] The receiving basket 42 is connected to the third drive component 41 through the lifting mechanism 43.

[0145] As can be seen from the above description, the lifting mechanism 43 can improve the longitudinal flexibility of the receiving component 4, thereby enabling the receiving frame 42 to actively receive the materials in the transfer rack 32, and thus improve the material transfer efficiency.

[0146] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 43 includes a base plate 4301, a connecting frame 4302, and at least two first power cylinders 4303;

[0147] The base plate 4301 is connected to the movable end of the third drive component 41 via the connecting bracket 4302;

[0148] The bottom of the receiving basket 42 is connected to the base plate 4301 via the first power cylinder 4303.

[0149] Furthermore, the aforementioned lifting mechanism 43 also includes a first guide rod 4304;

[0150] The bottom of the receiving basket 42 is connected to the base plate 4301 via the first guide rod 4304.

[0151] Furthermore, a first buffer 4305 is provided on the base plate 4301;

[0152] The buffer end of the first buffer 4305 is positioned facing the bottom of the receiving basket 42.

[0153] Furthermore, the base plate 4301 is also provided with a through hole 4306 and a first buffer frame 4307;

[0154] The bottom of the receiving basket 42 is provided with a second buffer frame 4308;

[0155] The second buffer frame 4308 can move synchronously with the first power cylinder 4303 through the through hole 4306;

[0156] The limiting surfaces of the first buffer frame 4307 and the second buffer frame 4308 are arranged opposite to each other;

[0157] A buffer element 4309 is provided on the limiting surface of the second buffer frame 4308;

[0158] The buffer end of the buffer component 4309 is positioned facing the receiving basket 42.

[0159] As described above, this design provides structural support for the lifting mechanism 43 to drive the receiving basket 42 to rise and fall. The first power cylinder 4303 is the core driving force of the lifting mechanism 43. The first guide rod 4304 can prevent the receiving basket 42 from shaking and deviating during the lifting process, thereby improving the stability of material receiving. When the receiving basket 42 moves too fast, the first buffer 4305 can prevent the bottom plate 4301 from being damaged due to excessive impact. Furthermore, through the cooperation between the first buffer frame 4307 and the second buffer frame 4308, the equipment can be buffered and limited when the receiving basket 42 rises, avoiding the problem of interference between the receiving basket 42 and the transfer component 3 when the receiving basket 42 receives the material in the transfer component 3 due to excessive movement distance.

[0160] The present invention also provides another lifting mechanism 43, which includes a support plate 4310, a movable buffer frame 4311, and a second power cylinder 4312;

[0161] The support plate 4310 is connected to the movable end of the third drive component 41 via the second power cylinder 4312;

[0162] The bottom of the receiving basket 42 is connected to the movable end of the second power cylinder 4312;

[0163] The support plate 4310 is sleeved on the outside of the movable buffer frame 4311;

[0164] One end of the movable buffer frame 4311 is connected to the bottom of the receiving basket 42, and the other end is provided with a limiting block 4313.

[0165] Furthermore, the aforementioned lifting mechanism 43 also includes a second guide rod 4314;

[0166] The bottom of the receiving basket 42 is slidably connected to the support plate 4310 via the second guide rod 4314.

[0167] Furthermore, the support plate 4310 is provided with a second buffer 4315 and a third buffer 4316;

[0168] The buffer end of the second buffer 4315 is positioned facing the bottom of the receiving basket 42;

[0169] The buffer end of the third buffer 4316 is positioned toward the limiting block 4313.

[0170] As described above, the device provides another lifting mechanism 43. The second power cylinder 4312 synchronously drives the receiving basket 42 and the movable buffer frame 4311 to move. When the bottom of the receiving basket 42 and the limiting block 4313 on the movable buffer frame 4311 abut against the second buffer 4315 and the third buffer 4316 respectively, the receiving basket 42 can be buffered and limited in height. The second guide rod 4314 can also prevent the receiving basket 42 from shaking and shifting during the lifting process, thereby improving the stability of material receiving.

[0171] Furthermore, anti-reverse devices 44 are provided at both ends of the receiving basket 42 and the third driving member 41, which are perpendicular to each other in their direction of movement.

[0172] Furthermore, the anti-reverse device 44 includes an anti-reverse cylinder and a limit post;

[0173] The fixed end of the anti-reverse cylinder is connected to the receiving basket 42;

[0174] The movable end of the anti-reverse cylinder is connected to the limit post;

[0175] The direction of movement of the anti-reverse cylinder and the axis of the limit post are both perpendicular to the horizontal plane.

[0176] As described above, when the transfer component 3 moves the head and tail materials into the receiving basket 42, the anti-reverse device 44 is activated and extends into the transfer component 3 to limit the end of the remaining material, so as to prevent the remaining material from being carried out of the receiving basket 42 again when the transfer component 3 withdraws.

[0177] Furthermore, the end of the receiving basket 42 that is perpendicular to the moving direction of the third driving member 41 is an open end, and the other end is a closed end;

[0178] The bottom of the receiving basket 42 is provided with parallel support beams 421.

[0179] As described above, when the material moves into the receiving basket 42 through the transfer component 3, the lifting mechanism 43 drives the receiving basket 42 to rise until the support beam 421 lifts the material, thereby separating the material from the transfer component 3. This not only smoothly transfers the material into the receiving basket 42, but also prevents the transfer component 3 from carrying the material out of the receiving basket 42 again during the process of exiting the receiving basket 42.

[0180] Furthermore, at least two receiving baskets 42 are provided;

[0181] The closed end of the receiving basket 42 is tightly attached;

[0182] The open end of the receiving basket 42 is positioned facing the corresponding anti-reverse device 44.

[0183] As can be seen from the above description, the two closed-end receiving baskets 42 provide structural support for the receiving component 4 to simultaneously receive the head material and the tail material, thereby enabling the head material and the tail material to be ejected at one time, thus improving the working efficiency of the receiving component 4.

[0184] The present invention also provides a method for material cutting using the above-mentioned fully automatic multi-station cutting machine, comprising the following steps:

[0185] S1. After the material is placed on the conveying component 1, the drive motor is started, and the roller group 111 is rotated by the drive motor, so that the material can move along the length of the conveying component 1 until it moves to the bottom of the cutting component 2.

[0186] S2. Adjust the position of the floating support 5 to raise the material and start the lifting device 12 so that the lifting device 12 drives the material on the roller frame 11 to move downward and press the material against the floating support 5.

[0187] S3. Adjust the position of the vertical drive component 22 by the horizontal drive component 21. When the vertical drive component 22 moves to the designated cutting position, start the vertical drive component 22 and the cutting wire saw 221. The vertical drive component 22 drives the cutting wire saw 221 to move towards the material direction to cut the material. At the same time, move the transfer component 3 directly below the head or tail material.

[0188] S4. After the cutting is completed, the second drive component 31 is driven in reverse so that the second drive component 31 drives the transfer rack 32 and the material to take out the head and tail material in an orderly manner along the length direction perpendicular to the transfer component 1 and transfer them to the receiving basket 42 of the receiving component 4.

[0189] S5. The head or tail material in the receiving basket 42 is driven by the third driving component 41 to exit the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine in a direction away from the transmission component 1.

[0190] S6. The floating support 5 and the horizontal drive 21 drive the remaining material segments and the wire saw 221 to move in the same direction, thereby creating a gap between the cut material segments that allows the wire saw 221 to reset. Then, the vertical drive 22 drives the wire saw 221 to reset.

[0191] S7. After the wire saw 221 is reset, the remaining material is further transferred to the subsequent processing equipment by the transmission component 1, thereby completing the material cutting work.

[0192] As described above, the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine provides structural support for the automatic cutting of materials. Through the cooperation between the various automated devices in the above steps, the functions of automatic feeding, automatic cutting and automatic unloading can be realized in an orderly manner, thereby improving the overall cutting efficiency and saving labor costs.

The buffer end of the third buffer 4316 faces the limiting block 4313.

[0214] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0215] First, after the material is placed on the conveying assembly 1 by the external feeding equipment, the drive motor is started, which drives the roller assembly 111 to rotate, so that the material can move along the length of the conveying assembly 1 until it moves directly below the cutting assembly 2; then, the position of the floating support 5 is adjusted by the horizontal drive device 54 and the lifting device 12 and the locking cylinder are started, so that the lifting device 12 moves the material on the roller frame 11 downward. Before descending, the locking cylinder 53 also drives the support column 52 to rise and press against the material. Finally, the material presses against the floating support 5; then, the horizontal drive device 54 adjusts the position of the floating support 5 and starts the lifting device 12 to move ...1. The drive unit 21 adjusts the position of the vertical drive unit 22. When the vertical drive unit 22 moves to the designated cutting position, the vertical drive unit 22 and the cutting wire saw 221 are started, and the vertical drive unit 22 drives the cutting wire saw 221 to move towards the material to cut the material. Before or during cutting, the drive motor 312 drives the drive gear 313 to rotate, so that under the cooperation of the drive gear 313 and the rack 311, the second drive unit 31 drives the material transfer frame 32 to approach the material in a direction perpendicular to the material axis. If the clearance groove 328 on the material transfer frame 32 cannot meet the support column 5 If the two parts overlap, the drive cylinder 314 will further drive the transfer frame 32 to move along the guide rail until the clearance groove 328 and the support column 52 overlap. Then, the crawling component 341 and the guide component 342 on the transverse transfer device 34 will drive the transfer frame 32 to move towards the head or tail material until the support column 52 extends into the clearance groove 328 of the transfer frame 32, so that the transfer frame 32 can be located directly below the head or tail material. After the cutting work is completed, the reverse drive motor 312 and the drive cylinder 314 will reverse the direction, so that the second drive component 31 will move the head material along the direction perpendicular to the material axis. Alternatively, the tail material is orderly removed and transported to the receiving basket 42 of the receiving component 4, and the head or tail material in the receiving basket 42 is driven out of the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine by the third drive component 41; then, the remaining segment material and the cutting wire saw 221 are driven to move in the same direction by the floating support component 5 and the horizontal drive component 21 respectively, so that a gap is created between the cut segments that allows the cutting wire saw 221 to reset, and then the vertical drive component 22 drives the cutting wire saw 221 to reset; finally, the remaining segment material is further transferred to the subsequent processing equipment by the transmission component 1, thereby completing the material cutting work.

[0216] In summary, the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine provided by this invention has a compact structure and is easy to operate. After the material is transported to the designated position by the transmission component, the cutting component can cut the material into multiple segments evenly. After the cutting work is completed, the transfer group removes the head or tail material from the transmission component and transfers the head and tail material to the receiving component. Finally, the receiving component further removes the head and tail material from the fully automatic multi-station cutting machine, thus completing the fully automatic cutting work of the material.
