[0046] Detailed usage and function of this embodiment: In this invention, the control panel 22 controls the automatic laser cutting machine. Before the machine starts cutting, raw materials are required. The feeding device 1 starts working, and the feeding power unit 1112 pushes the placement plate 1111 upward until it reaches the designated position. Then, the locking device 1113 engages with the feeding power unit 1112 to keep it stable. Then, the push rod inside the opening and closing plate 112 moves forward. During this process, the rollers inside the feeding device housing 113 work together to move the raw material forward. When the raw material enters the adjusting device 2, the adjusting device 2 starts working. The raw material first moves to the overhead device 213, and then the rotating device 2112 moves to the appropriate position, driving the adjusting rod 2111 to adjust the position of the raw material. Afterwards, the baffle at the bottom of the overhead device 213 retracts, allowing the raw material to move onto the conveyor belt 212 below. The conveyor belt 212 then moves the raw material to the cutting device 23 for cutting. Once the raw material is cut, the receiving device 3 starts working, and the raw material slides off the conveyor belt 212 onto the receiving device 311. The bottom of the raw material engages with the adjusting shaft 3113, and the surface adheres to the lifting device 33. The lifting device 33 then rises until the raw material is upright, and the reinforcing plate 3112 reinforces its fixation. The receiving device 311 then moves the raw material inward until it reaches the appropriate position. The reinforcing plate 3112 returns to its original position, and the adjusting shaft 3113 rotates to unload the raw material. The locking block inside the receiving device housing 312 holds the raw material in place for storage.
