[0027] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a solar glass tube cutting device includes a first top frame 1, and also includes: a supporting rotating part, a driving part, a pressing part and a cutting part, wherein:

[0028] The supporting rotating part is arranged below the first top frame 1, and is used to support and drive the glass tube 32 to rotate;

[0029] The driving part is in transmission connection with the supporting rotating part, and is used to drive the supporting rotating part to rotate;

[0030] The clamping part comprises a first electric cylinder 2, which is vertically mounted on the first top frame 1, and a clamping wheel 3 is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod of the first electric cylinder 2;

[0031] The cutting part includes a third electric cylinder 4 and a second electric cylinder 5 arranged at one side of the first electric cylinder 2 and located on the first top frame 1, the second electric cylinder 5 is provided with a cutting knife 6, the third electric cylinder 4 is located at one side of the supporting rotating part, the third electric cylinder 4 is provided with a connecting rod 7, and the connecting rod 7 is provided with a heating wire 8;

[0032] The glass tube 32 is supported and driven to rotate by the supporting rotating part, an annular groove is cut on the glass tube 32 by the cutting knife 6, and the heating wire 8 is driven to move to the inside of the glass tube 32 and below the annular groove by the extension of the third electric cylinder 4. The annular groove is heated by the heating wire 8, and the annular groove is disconnected by the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.

[0033] When the device is working, the glass tube 32 is located on the supporting rotating part, and the supporting rotating part is driven to rotate by the driving part, thereby driving the glass tube 32 to rotate. At the same time, the first electric cylinder 2 is extended to drive the clamping wheel 3 to descend and clamp the glass tube 32, and then the second electric cylinder 5 is extended to drive the cutting knife 6 to descend. Since the glass tube 32 is rotating, an annular groove is cut on the glass tube 32 by the cutting knife 6, and then the second electric cylinder 5 is shortened to drive the cutting knife 6 to move upward, and the third electric cylinder 4 is extended to drive the heating wire 8 to move to the inside of the glass tube 32 and below the annular groove, and the annular groove is heated by the heating wire 8, and the annular groove is disconnected by the principle of thermal expansion and contraction.

[0034] As can be seen from the above, the glass tube 32 rotates during cutting by the device, so the force is relatively uniform and the cut is not easily damaged. At the same time, the cutting knife 6 does not completely cut the glass tube 32, so debris will not enter the interior of the glass tube 32 during the cutting process, solving the problem of inconvenient cleaning of the glass tube 32.

[0035] In some embodiments, the support rotation part includes two groups of symmetrically arranged support rotation units, the support rotation units include a rotation shaft 9, a plurality of rotation rollers 10 are fixedly mounted on the device rotation shaft 9, the distance between the two transmission rollers at one end is less than or equal to the thickness of the pressure wheel 3, and the pressure wheel 3 is located above the two transmission rollers.

When the first motor 11 is working, the two rotating shafts 9 can rotate in the same direction.

[0037] During operation, the first motor 11 drives one of the rotating shafts 9 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating roller 10 and the driving gear 12 on the rotating shaft 9 to rotate. The driving gear 12 drives the driven gear 14 to rotate through the intermediate gear 13, thereby driving the other rotating shaft 9 and the rotating roller 10 on the other rotating shaft 9 to rotate.

[0038] At present, when collecting the cut glass tubes 32, multiple glass tubes 32 are prone to collision, and the glass tubes 32 may be damaged.

Then the connecting rod 7 is pulled out, and the fourth electric cylinder 15 is controlled to shorten. The glass tubes 32 fall into the arc groove 18 one by one through the guide plate 17. Then, the glass tubes 32 aligned in the arc groove 18 are grabbed into the collection box by the grabbing unit.
