Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cutting devices, and particularly to a cutting device for non-metallic materials. Background Art

[0002] When die-cutting non-metallic materials, it is necessary to comprehensively consider factors such as material characteristics, cutting accuracy requirements, production efficiency, and cost to select a suitable cutting process. Due to the high cutting accuracy and wide application range of laser cutting equipment, laser cutting equipment is usually selected to cut non-metallic materials. At present, in the laser cutting process, manual loading and unloading of non-metallic materials are still used in many cases, which greatly affects production efficiency.

[0003] Chinese patent application with publication number CN118848280A discloses a laser cutting device for thin metal sheets and its cutting method. The laser cutting device for thin metal sheets includes a laser cutting machine, a raw material storage rack, a workpiece collection box, and a loading and unloading mechanism; the raw material storage rack is used to store and hold the to-be-processed sheets; the workpiece collection box is used to collect workpieces, and a material collection port is opened at the top of the workpiece collection box; the loading and unloading mechanism includes a manipulator, and a grasping part for grasping the sheets is arranged at the driving end of the manipulator; the manipulator and the grasping part cooperate to grasp and move the to-be-processed sheets from the raw material storage rack to the working surface of the laser cutting machine, and are also used to grasp and move the processed sheets from the working surface of the laser cutting machine to above the material collection port of the workpiece collection box; a separation component for separating the workpiece from the sheet is arranged on the grasping part.

[0004] The above patent application grasps and moves the to-be-processed sheets and the processed sheets through the cooperation of the manipulator and the grasping part, and separates the workpiece and the sheet through the separation component. Compared with manual loading and unloading, the loading and unloading efficiency is improved. However, the manipulator and the grasping part need to separate the workpiece and the sheet and break away from the contact with the workpiece and the sheet before they can perform a new round of grasping on the to-be-processed sheets, resulting in a relatively long interval time between two cutting processes, and the working efficiency is not effectively improved.

[0005] Therefore, there is a need in the art for a cutting device for non-metallic materials to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention provides a cutting device for non-metallic materials, aiming to solve the problem in the related art that the manipulator of the cutting device needs to complete all the cutting processes of one sheet before it can perform the next round of grasping of the sheets, resulting in ineffective improvement of the working efficiency.

[0007] A non-metallic material cutting device of the present invention includes a mounting frame and a raw material frame, a laser cutting machine, a workpiece frame, and a waste frame that are sequentially distributed along the outer periphery of the mounting frame. An installation column extending vertically and an installation rod extending horizontally are provided on the mounting frame. The installation column is rotatably connected to the mounting frame, and a first driving component for driving the installation column to rotate is provided on the mounting frame. The installation rod is slidably connected to the installation column in the vertical direction, and a second driving component for driving the installation rod to move vertically is provided on the installation column;

[0008] Gripping components are respectively arranged at both ends of the installation rod. The non-metallic material cutting device further includes a separation component. When both ends of the installation rod are opposite to the raw material frame and the workpiece frame respectively, the gripping component corresponding to the raw material frame grips the to-be-processed plate, and the gripping component corresponding to the workpiece frame cooperates with the separation component to separate the workpiece and the plate. When both ends of the installation rod are opposite to the laser cutting machine and the waste frame respectively, the gripping component corresponding to the laser cutting machine places the to-be-processed plate, and the gripping component corresponding to the waste frame separates the waste material with the workpiece removed.

[0009] The non-metallic material cutting device of the present invention has the ability to separate the workpiece that has been cut from the plate while gripping the to-be-processed plate, and can synchronously unload the plate waste after removing the workpiece when placing a new to-be-processed plate. This design significantly improves the efficiency of the cutting operation, and at the same time ensures the neat placement of the workpiece and the waste, providing great convenience for subsequent unified processing.

[0010] Preferably, the gripping component includes a suction cup and a piston. Support rods extending in the horizontal direction are respectively fixedly connected to both ends of the installation rod. The bottom of the support rod is elastically connected with a sleeve through an elastic member. The piston is attached to the inner wall of the sleeve, and a piston rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod is fixedly connected to the top of the piston. The suction cup is fixedly connected to the bottom of the sleeve. The piston is used to form negative pressure in the suction cup to adsorb the plate when moving upward, and balance the air pressure in the suction cup to cancel the adsorption of the plate when moving downward.

[0011] Through the up-and-down movement mechanism of the piston in the sleeve, the present invention realizes the gripping and releasing functions of the suction cup for the plate, thus saving the cost of separately equipping each suction cup with an electronic control device such as an air pump. In addition, since there is no need to set up circuits and air paths on each suction cup, when the installation rod drives the gripping component to rotate, there is no need to worry about the potential interference of the circuits and air paths on the movement trajectory of the gripping component, which makes the overall structure of the present invention simpler and more compact.

[0012] Preferably, a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support rod. Mounting grooves corresponding to the positions of the sleeves are formed in the mounting plate. A bearing rod is slidably fitted vertically in each mounting groove. Each sleeve is fixedly connected to the corresponding bearing rod. When the sleeve is not subjected to an external force, the elastic member is in a compressed state and presses the bearing rod against the bottom of the mounting groove.

[0013] By mounting the sleeve on the bearing rod, the stability of the sleeve relative to the support rod during movement is improved. Moreover, the bearing rod abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove, ensuring the stability of the sleeve and the suction cup relative to the support rod during the movement of the mounting rod driving the grasping assembly.

[0014] Preferably, the bearing rods corresponding to the suction cups for grasping the workpiece are fixedly connected by a first connecting rod, and the other bearing rods are fixedly connected by a second connecting rod.

[0015] By connecting the suction cups for grasping the workpiece together and the other suction cups together, the suction cups can be distinguished. When it is necessary to separate the workpiece from the plate, the movement of the first connecting rod can be restricted. When it is necessary to separate the plate waste without the workpiece from the suction cup, the movement of the second connecting rod can be restricted, which is convenient for operation.

[0016] Preferably, the separation assembly includes a first separation structure corresponding to the laser cutting machine, a second separation structure corresponding to the workpiece frame, and a third separation structure corresponding to the waste frame. The first separation structure is used to separate the grasping assembly from the plate to be processed. The second separation structure is used to separate the grasping assembly from the workpiece. The third separation structure is used to separate the grasping assembly from the waste.

[0017] Preferably, the laser cutting machine includes a cutting platform and a laser cutting head. The first separation structure includes two baffles symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cutting platform. An automatic telescopic cylinder for driving the two baffles to move away from or close to each other is arranged on the cutting platform. The mounting rod drives the grasping assembly to move downward. When the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod abut against the baffles, the suction cup and the adsorbed plate remain stationary. The piston rod drives the piston to move downward along the sleeve to increase the air pressure inside the suction cup and separate the suction cup from the plate.

[0018] Preferably, the second separation structure includes a first stop rod fixedly connected to the workpiece frame, the position of the first stop rod corresponding to that of the first connecting rod. When the mounting rod drives the grasping assembly to move downward until the first connecting rod abuts against the first stop rod, the suction cup corresponding to the first connecting rod and the workpiece adsorbed by the suction cup remain stationary. The mounting rod drives the other suction cups to continue moving downward, separating the workpiece from the plate. At the same time, the piston in the sleeve corresponding to the first connecting rod moves downward to increase the air pressure in the corresponding suction cup, separating the suction cup from the workpiece.

[0019] Preferably, the third separation structure includes a second stop rod fixedly connected to the waste frame, the position of the second stop rod corresponding to that of the second connecting rod. When the mounting rod drives the grasping assembly to move downward until the second connecting rod abuts against the second stop rod, the suction cup corresponding to the second connecting rod and the waste adsorbed by the suction cup remain stationary. The piston in the sleeve corresponding to the second connecting rod moves downward to increase the air pressure in the corresponding suction cup, separating the suction cup from the waste.

[0020] Preferably, the mounting frame is cross-shaped, and the raw material frame, the laser cutting machine, the workpiece frame, and the waste frame are correspondingly installed at the four ends of the mounting frame.

[0021] By setting the mounting frame as cross-shaped, the connection stability between the mounting frame and the raw material frame, the laser cutting machine, the workpiece frame, and the waste frame is improved.

[0022] Preferably, the first driving assembly includes a motor fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the mounting frame, the mounting column being fixedly connected to the output end of the motor. The second driving assembly includes a second automatic telescopic cylinder fixedly installed on the mounting column, the center of the mounting rod being fixedly connected to the driving end of the second automatic telescopic cylinder.

[0023] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The non-metallic material cutting device of the present invention can separate the cut workpiece and the plate while grasping the plate to be processed, and discharge the plate waste after removing the workpiece while placing the plate to be processed. Therefore, the present invention can effectively improve the cutting efficiency and arrange the workpieces and waste neatly, facilitating subsequent centralized processing.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0036] The following details the embodiments of the present invention, and the examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0037] As Figures 1 to 10As shown in the figure, a non-metallic material cutting device of the present invention includes a mounting frame 1, and a raw material frame 2, a laser cutting machine, a workpiece frame 3, and a waste frame 4 that are sequentially distributed along the outer periphery of the mounting frame 1. The mounting frame 1 is in a cross shape, and the raw material frame 2, the laser cutting machine, the workpiece frame 3, and the waste frame 4 are correspondingly installed at the four ends of the mounting frame 1. The laser cutting machine includes a cutting platform 5 and a laser cutting head (not shown in the figure) provided on the cutting platform 5. A plurality of through holes (not shown in the figure) are provided on the cutting platform 5, and a vacuum adsorption mechanism (not shown in the figure) is provided below the cutting platform 5. After the sheet is placed on the cutting platform 5, the sheet can be adsorbed on the cutting platform 5 through the vacuum adsorption mechanism, which is convenient for precise cutting. The vacuum adsorption mechanism is a prior art and will not be elaborated here.

[0038] The mounting frame 1 is provided with a mounting column 11 extending vertically and a mounting rod 12 extending horizontally. The mounting column 11 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 1, and a first driving component for driving the mounting column 11 to rotate is provided on the mounting frame 1. The first driving component includes a motor (not shown in the figure) fixedly installed at the center of the bottom of the mounting frame 1, and the mounting column 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0039] A vertically extending chute (not shown in the figure) is provided on the mounting column 11. The mounting rod 12 passes through the chute and is vertically slidably connected to the mounting column 11 through the chute. A second driving component for driving the mounting rod 12 to move vertically is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting column 11. The second driving component includes an electric telescopic cylinder two 13 fixedly installed on the mounting column 11. The driving end of the electric telescopic cylinder two 13 passes through the top of the mounting column 11 and extends into the chute, and the center of the mounting rod 12 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the electric telescopic cylinder two 13. As an example, the electric telescopic cylinder two 13 is an electric telescopic cylinder.

[0040] Gripping components are respectively provided at both ends of the mounting rod 12, and the non-metallic material cutting device further includes a separating component. The motor drives the mounting column 11 to drive the mounting rod 12 to rotate, so that the mounting rod 12 drives the gripping components at both ends thereof to rotate, so that the gripping components can be switched among the positions of the raw material frame 2, the cutting platform 5, the workpiece frame 3, and the waste frame 4.

[0041] When the gripping components at both ends of the mounting rod 12 are respectively opposite to the raw material frame 2 and the workpiece frame 3, control the electric telescopic cylinder two 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to drive the gripping components to move downward. The gripping component corresponding to the raw material frame 2 grabs the to-be-processed sheet, and the gripping component corresponding to the workpiece frame 3 cooperates with the separating component to separate the cut workpiece and the sheet. When both ends of the mounting rod 12 are respectively opposite to the cutting platform 5 and the waste frame 4, the gripping component corresponding to the cutting platform 5 places the to-be-processed sheet, and the gripping component corresponding to the waste frame 4 cooperates with the separating component to separate the waste removed from the workpiece from the gripping component.

[0042] The non-metallic material cutting device of the present invention can separate the cut workpiece and the plate while grasping the plate to be processed, and discharge the plate waste after removing the workpiece while placing the plate to be processed. Therefore, the present invention can effectively improve the cutting efficiency, and arrange the workpieces and waste neatly, which is convenient for subsequent centralized processing.

[0043] As Figures 4 to 6 shown, the grasping component includes a suction cup 6 and a piston 7. Both ends of the mounting rod 12 are fixedly connected with support rods 14 extending in the horizontal direction. The support rods 14 are perpendicular to the mounting rod 12. The bottom of the support rod 14 is elastically connected with a sleeve 61 through an elastic member. As an example, the elastic member is a spring 62. The piston 7 fits against the inner wall of the sleeve 61, and the top of the piston 7 is fixedly connected with a piston rod 71 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support rod 14. The suction cup 6 is located at the bottom of the sleeve 61 and is integrally formed with the sleeve 61.

[0044] When it is necessary to adsorb the plate, the bottom of the suction cup 6 fits against the plate. Drive the mounting rod 12 to drive the support rod 14 and the piston rod 71 to move downward continuously. Since the suction cup 6 abuts against the plate, the sleeve 61 cannot move downward, and the piston 7 will move downward relative to the sleeve 61, squeezing out some of the gas in the sleeve 61 between the suction cup 6 and the plate. At this time, the spring 62 between the sleeve 61 and the support rod 14 is in a compressed state. Then drive the mounting rod 12 to drive the support rod 14 and the piston rod 71 to move upward. Due to the extrusion of the spring 62, the suction cup 6 will continue to press against the plate, and the piston 7 moves upward relative to the sleeve 61. A negative pressure is formed inside the sleeve 61 and the suction cup 6, adsorbing the plate. During the continuous upward movement of the mounting rod 12, drive the sleeve 61, the suction cup 6 and the adsorbed plate to move upward to realize the grasping of the plate.

[0045] When it is necessary to cancel the grasping of the plate, drive the mounting rod 12 to drive the support rod 14 and the piston rod 71 to move downward, and at the same time block the sleeve 61 from following the mounting rod 12 to move downward through the separation component. The piston rod 71 will drive the piston 7 to move downward relative to the sleeve 61. Since the suction cup 6 adsorbs on the plate, during the downward movement of the piston 7, the air pressure between the piston 7 and the plate will gradually increase until the plate falls off the suction cup 6, realizing the separation of the plate from the suction cup 6.

[0046] By adopting the method of the piston 7 moving up and down relative to the sleeve 61 to realize the grasping or loosening of the plate by the suction cup 6, the cost of setting up an electric control mechanism such as an air pump for each suction cup 6 is saved, and there is no need to set up circuits and air paths on each suction cup 6. During the rotation of the mounting rod 12 driving the grasping component, there is no need to consider the influence of the circuits and air paths on the movement path of the grasping component, making the overall structure of the present invention simpler and more compact.

[0047] As Figures 5 to 7As shown in the figure, a mounting plate 16 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the support rod 14 through a connecting rod 15. Mounting grooves 17 corresponding to the positions of the sleeves 61 are formed in the mounting plate 16. A bearing rod 63 is slidably fitted vertically in the mounting groove 17, and the bearing rod 63 is U-shaped. Each sleeve 61 is fixedly connected to the corresponding bearing rod 63. When the sleeve 61 is not affected by an external force, the spring 62 between the sleeve 61 and the support rod 14 is in a compressed state, and the elastic force of the spring 62 presses the bearing rod 63 against the bottom of the mounting groove 17. By fixedly installing the sleeve 61 on the bearing rod 63, the stability of the sleeve 61 relative to the support rod 14 during movement is improved, and the bearing rod 63 abuts against the bottom of the mounting groove 17, ensuring the stability of the sleeve 61 and the suction cup 6 relative to the support rod 14 during the movement of the mounting rod 12 driving the grasping assembly.

[0048] As Figures 5 to 8 shown, the bearing rods 63 corresponding to the suction cups 6 for grasping workpieces are fixedly connected through a first connecting rod 64, and the other bearing rods 63 are fixedly connected through a second connecting rod 65. By separating the suction cups 6 for grasping workpieces from the other suction cups 6, when it is necessary to separate the workpiece from the plate, the movement of the first connecting rod 64 can be restricted, that is, during the process of the mounting rod 12 driving the support rod 14 and the piston rod 71 to move downward, the separation assembly blocks the first connecting rod 64 from moving downward following the mounting rod 12. Then, the bearing rods 63 and the sleeves 61 connected to the first connecting rod 64 will also stop moving following the mounting rod 12, and the piston 7 moves downward relative to the sleeve 61, changing the air pressure inside the sleeve 61 and the suction cup 6, so that the workpiece is separated from the adsorption of the suction cup 6. Moreover, during the process of the piston 7 moving downward, since the second connecting rod 65 is not blocked, the suction cups 6 for adsorbing the plate corresponding to the second connecting rod 65 will move downward synchronously following the mounting rod 12, and the workpiece will be separated from the plate. Therefore, after the workpiece is separated from its corresponding suction cup 6, it will fall smoothly into the workpiece frame 3.

[0049] When it is necessary to separate the plate waste after removing the workpiece from the suction cup 6, the movement of the second connecting rod 65 can be restricted, that is, during the process of the mounting rod 12 driving the support rod 14 and the piston rod 71 to move downward, the separation assembly blocks the second connecting rod 65 from moving downward following the mounting rod 12. Then, the bearing rods 63 and the sleeves 61 connected to the second connecting rod 65 will also stop moving following the mounting rod 12, and the piston 7 moves downward relative to the sleeve 61, changing the air pressure inside the sleeve 61 and the suction cup 6, so that the plate waste after removing the workpiece is separated from the adsorption of the suction cup 6, and the plate waste falls smoothly into the waste frame 4.

[0050] As Figures 1 to 3As shown, the separation component includes a first separation structure corresponding to the cutting platform 5, a second separation structure corresponding to the workpiece frame 3, and a third separation structure corresponding to the waste frame 4. The first separation structure includes two baffles 51 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the cutting platform 5. An automatic telescopic cylinder 52 for driving the two baffles 51 to move away from or close to each other is arranged on the cutting platform 5. As an example, the automatic telescopic cylinder 52 is an electric telescopic cylinder. The mounting rod 12 drives the grasping component to move downward. When the connecting rod 64 and the connecting rod 65 abut against the baffle 51, the suction cup 6 and the to-be-processed plate adsorbed by it remain stationary. The piston rod 71 drives the piston 7 to move downward along the sleeve 61 to increase the air pressure inside the suction cup 6, thereby separating the suction cup 6 from the to-be-processed plate.

[0051] As Figure 1 and Figure 9 shown, the second separation structure includes a first retaining rod 31 fixedly connected to the workpiece frame 3. The first retaining rod 31 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the workpiece frame 3 and corresponds to the position of the connecting rod 64. The mounting rod 12 drives the grasping component to move downward. When the connecting rod 64 abuts against the first retaining rod 31, the suction cup 6 corresponding to the connecting rod 64 and the workpiece adsorbed by the suction cup 6 remain stationary. The mounting rod 12 drives the other suction cups 6 to continue moving downward, separating the workpiece from the plate. At the same time, the piston 7 in the sleeve 61 corresponding to the connecting rod 64 moves downward to increase the air pressure in the corresponding suction cup 6, separating the suction cup 6 from the workpiece.

[0052] As Figure 1 and Figure 10 shown, the third separation structure includes a second retaining rod 41 fixedly connected to the waste frame 4. The second retaining rod 41 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the waste frame 4 and corresponds to the position of the connecting rod 65. The mounting rod 12 drives the grasping component to move downward. When the connecting rod 65 abuts against the second retaining rod 41, the suction cup 6 corresponding to the connecting rod 65 and the waste adsorbed by the suction cup 6 remain stationary. The piston 7 in the sleeve 61 corresponding to the connecting rod 65 moves downward to increase the air pressure in the corresponding suction cup 6, separating the suction cup 6 from the waste.

[0053] The working process of a non-metallic material cutting device of the present invention is as follows:

[0054] In the initial state, the grasping components at both ends of the mounting rod 12 are respectively located above the raw material box 2 and the workpiece box 3. Control the second automatic telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move downward. After the suction cup 6 corresponding to the raw material box 2 abuts against the to-be-processed plate, the suction cup 6 and the sleeve 61 no longer move downward following the mounting rod 12. The mounting rod 12 drives the support rod 14 and the piston rod 71 to continue moving downward. The piston 7 moves downward relative to the sleeve 61, and part of the gas in the sleeve 61 is squeezed out from between the suction cup 6 and the plate. Then control the second automatic telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move upward. Due to the extrusion of the spring 62, the suction cup 6 will continue to press against the plate. The piston 7 moves upward relative to the sleeve 61, and a negative pressure is formed inside the sleeve 61 and the suction cup 6, adsorbing the plate. During the process of the mounting rod 12 continuing to move upward, it drives the sleeve 61, the suction cup 6 and the adsorbed plate to move upward, realizing the grasping of the plate. (Since there is no workpiece and plate grasped on the grasping component corresponding to the workpiece box 3, it will not be described first);

[0055] Control the motor to drive the mounting column 11 to rotate. The mounting column 11 drives the mounting rod 12 to rotate 90°. Until the grasping components at both ends of the mounting rod 12 are respectively located above the cutting platform 5 and the waste box 4. Control the second automatic telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move downward. When the first connecting rod 64 and the second connecting rod 65 abut against the baffle 51, the suction cup 6 and the to-be-processed plate adsorbed by it remain stationary. The mounting rod 12 drives the piston rod 71 to drive the piston 7 to move downward along the sleeve 61, increasing the air pressure inside the suction cup 6, separating the suction cup 6 from the to-be-processed plate, and the to-be-processed plate drops onto the cutting platform 5. Then control the motor to drive the mounting column 11 to rotate reversely 90°. The mounting column 11 drives the mounting rod 12 to return to the initial position to prevent the grasping component from affecting the cutting. Control the laser cutting head to perform the cutting work on the to-be-processed plate. (Since there is no waste grasped on the grasping component corresponding to the waste box 4, it will not be described first);

[0056] After the cutting is completed, control the first automatic telescopic cylinder 52 to drive the two baffles 51 to move away from each other, canceling the block of the baffle 51 on the first connecting rod 64 and the second connecting rod 65. Control the motor to drive the mounting column 11 to rotate 90°. Until the grasping component on the mounting rod 12 is located above the cutting platform 5. Control the second automatic telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move downward, so that the suction cup 6 adsorbs the processed plate. Then control the second automatic telescopic cylinder 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move upward to lift the processed plate;

[0057] Control the motor to drive the mounting post 11 to drive the mounting rod 12 to rotate 90°, until the processed plate is located above the workpiece frame 3, and the grasping assembly at the other end of the mounting rod 12 is located above the raw material frame 2. Control the automatic telescopic cylinder two 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move downward. The grasping assembly corresponding to the raw material frame 2 adsorbs the plate to be processed. During the downward movement of the grasping assembly corresponding to the workpiece frame 3, when the first connecting rod 64 abuts against the first stop rod 31, the suction cup 6 corresponding to the first connecting rod 64 and the workpiece adsorbed by the suction cup 6 remain stationary. The mounting rod 12 drives the other suction cups 6 to continue to move downward, separating the workpiece from the plate.

Then, control the automatic telescopic cylinder two 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move upward to lift the plate to be processed and the plate waste without the workpiece;

[0058] Control the automatic telescopic cylinder one 52 to drive the two baffles 51 to move towards each other, so that the baffles 51 block the movement of the first connecting rod 64 and the second connecting rod 65. Control the motor to drive the mounting post 11 to drive the mounting rod 12 to continue to rotate 90°, until the plate to be processed is located above the cutting platform 5, and the plate waste is located above the waste frame 4. Control the automatic telescopic cylinder two 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move downward. During the downward movement of the grasping assembly corresponding to the cutting platform 5, the first connecting rod 64 and the second connecting rod 65 abut against the baffle 51, realizing the placement of the plate to be processed. During the downward movement of the grasping assembly corresponding to the waste frame 4, when the second connecting rod 65 abuts against the second stop rod 41, the suction cup 6 corresponding to the second connecting rod 65 and the waste adsorbed by the suction cup 6 remain stationary. The piston 7 in the sleeve 61 corresponding to the second connecting rod 65 moves downward, increasing the air pressure in the corresponding suction cup 6, separating the suction cup 6 from the plate waste, and the plate waste successfully drops into the waste frame 4. Then, control the automatic telescopic cylinder two 13 to drive the mounting rod 12 to move upward and drive the motor to drive the mounting post 11 to reverse 90°, and the mounting post 11 drives the mounting rod 12 to return to the initial position;

[0059] After that, repeat the above process of "after cutting is completed" to realize continuous cutting of non-metallic materials.
