7. A cutting method for an automated pipe fitting cutting device, wherein the automated pipe fitting cutting device according to any one of claims 1-6 is characterized in that: Includes the following steps: S1. Adjustment steps: After disassembling with nuts and threaded pins (294), the movable sleeve (292) and connecting gear (293) can be removed from the second hexagonal rod (291). After removal, connecting gears (293) of different sizes can be replaced. The connecting gears (293) are fixed inside different mounting holes with threaded pins (294) and nuts, so that connecting gears (293) of different sizes are connected to different stepped parts of the stepped rack (250), so that the number of rotations of the connecting gear (293) is different each time the subsequent stepped rack (250) descends, thereby changing the length of the fixed-length cut. S2, Conveying and Fixing Steps: Open the cylinder (210) and the electric saw (220). The cylinder (210) will drive the electric saw (220) to descend, and the electric saw (220) will drive the two lifting sliders (230) to descend. During the descent of the two lifting sliders (230), they will drive the two hollow frames (241) to descend, causing the connecting slide shaft (245) to descend at the vertical part of the right-angled triangular groove (271). Subsequently, the connecting slide shaft (245) will pass through the guide plate (272), and at the same time, the stepped rack (250) descends, driving the connecting gear (293). The connecting gear (293) drives one of the transmission rollers (262) to rotate through the movable sleeve (292) and the second hexagonal rod (291), causing... One of the conveying rods (266) rotates, and through the linkage of the transmission belt (263), the two second limiting rollers (261) roll, so that the second limiting rollers (261) roll to convey the metal pipe. Subsequently, the stepped rack (250) disengages from the connecting gear (293). At this time, the steering rod (285) drives the right-angled trapezoidal plate (286) to descend. The inclined part of the right-angled trapezoidal plate (286) will contact the ball (284) and push the first hexagonal rod (281). The first hexagonal rod (281) drives the clamping plate (282) to move and stretch the second return spring (283). When the stepped rack (250) disengages from the connecting gear (293), the two clamping plates (282) will clamp the metal pipe. S3, Cutting and Reset Steps: The continuously descending electric saw (220) cuts the pipe. After the cutting is completed, the cylinder (210) drives the electric saw (220) to lift. When the electric saw (220) is lifted, the connecting slide shaft (245) will be guided by the guide plate (272) to the inclined part of the right-angle triangular groove (271) to slide, so that the long plate (244) and the movable block (242) will be displaced and the first reset spring (243) will be compressed, so that the stepped rack (250) will not drive the connecting gear (293) during the rising process. When the connecting slide shaft (245) rises to a certain height, the first reset spring (243) opens and drives the connecting slide shaft (245) to reset inside the right-angle triangular groove (271), so that the stepped rack (250) is reconnected to the connecting gear (293) at this time. At this time, the second reset spring (283) drives the clamping plate (282) to reset and release the clamping of the pipe that has been cut. S4. Repeat the steps: The subsequent cylinder (210) repeats the above lifting steps to achieve continuous cutting without the need for continuous assistance from staff.
