[0002] Currently, the cutting of EPE materials, which requires multiple cuts and punchings, is typically done manually using a folding knife. Punching is done separately using a punching machine. The cut materials then need to be manually stacked neatly. However, this manual cutting method is inefficient, costly, and for longer cutting paths, the straightness of the cuts may decrease due to manual operation, thus affecting product quality. Summary of the Invention

The cross-shaped tool holder module is located in the middle of the frame and is used to punch cross-shaped holes in EPE material; The cutting blade holder module is located in the middle of the frame and is used to cut EPE material.
[0005] Furthermore, the feeding mechanism includes a material rack and a roll rotatably disposed inside the material rack and adapted to unwind EPE material.
[0006] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism is provided in two parts, which are used for inputting and outputting EPE material respectively.

The first cylinders can drive the upper frame to move up and down and press the EPE material through multiple pressing columns.
[0008] Furthermore, the bottom of the linear motors on both sides is also provided with a lower frame located below the machine frame.
[0009] Furthermore, the cross blade holder module includes a support frame mounted on the frame, two second cylinders slidably mounted on the support frame, and a cross blade mounted at the output end of each second cylinder; The second cylinder can drive the cross blade to move down and punch a cross hole in the EPE material.
[0010] Furthermore, the support frame is provided with an upper slide rail and a lower slide rail at the top and bottom respectively. An upper slider is slidably mounted on the upper slide rail, and two lower sliders are slidably mounted on the lower slide rail.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0018] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this application pertains; the terminology used herein in the specification of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the application; the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, in the specification, claims and drawings of this application are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion.
[0019] To make the content of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0020] like Figure 1-4As shown, in this embodiment, an EPE material cutting machine is provided, which mainly consists of a frame 1, a feeding mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, a cross-blade holder module 4, and a cutting blade holder module 5. The frame 1 is welded from steel. The feeding mechanism 2 is located at one end of the frame 1 and is used to unload the rolled EPE material to the conveying mechanism 3. The conveying mechanism 3 is mounted on the frame 1 and is used to transport and transfer the EPE material. The cross-blade holder module 4 is located in the middle of the frame 1 and is used to punch cross holes in the EPE material. The cutting blade holder module 5 is located in the middle of the frame 1 and is used to cut the EPE material.
[0021] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a material rack 20 and a roll 21 rotatably disposed inside the material rack 20 and adapted to unload EPE material. The material rack 20 is also welded from steel and is used to hold the cylindrical EPE material. The EPE material is initially rolled into a cylindrical shape with a hollow center to accommodate steel bars. The steel bars are then placed horizontally on the material rack in preparation for subsequent processing.
[0022] For inputting and outputting EPE material, this embodiment has two conveying mechanisms 3. Each conveying mechanism 3 includes linear motors 30 on both sides of the frame 1, first cylinders 31 mounted on the linear motors 30 with their output ends facing upwards, an upper frame 32 mounted on the output end of the first cylinders 31, and multiple pressing columns 34 on the upper frame 32. The bottom ends of the upper frame 32 are connected to the output ends of the first cylinders 31. The linear motors 30 can drive the first cylinders 31 on both sides and drive the upper frame 32 to slide laterally. The first cylinders 31 can drive the upper frame 32 to move up and down and press the EPE material through the multiple pressing columns 34. To prevent it from falling off, a lower frame 33 is also provided at the bottom of the linear motors 30 on both sides, located below the frame 1. During operation, a layer of EPE material is manually pulled out from the material rack and inserted into the pressing columns 34 of the conveying mechanism 3 along the feeding direction. The first cylinders 31 control the multiple pressing columns 34 to press it down, thus completing the material input preparation. The specifications of the materials vary in width from 300mm to 2000mm and in thickness from 2mm to 30mm. The conveying mechanism 3 adopts a block-type intermittent reciprocating motion module to simulate manual pressing, sliding, and releasing actions, thereby realizing the feeding of EPE materials in the length direction. Specifically, during the conveying process, the EPE material is pressed by the pressing column 34, and then the upper frame 32 is driven by the linear motor 30 to slide laterally to transport the EPE material. After reaching the position, the pressing column 34 is lifted and released, and then the cycle of pressing and transporting is repeated to achieve continuous transport.
[0023] Specifically, to punch cross holes in EPE material, the cross cutter holder module 4 in this embodiment includes a support frame 40 mounted on the frame 1, two second cylinders 44 slidably mounted on the support frame 40, and a cross cutter 440 mounted at the output end of each second cylinder 44. The second cylinders 44 can drive the cross cutter 440 downwards to punch cross holes in the EPE material. To adjust and replace the position of the cross cutter 440, an upper slide rail 41 and a lower slide rail 42 are respectively provided at the top and bottom of the support frame 40. An upper slider 410 is slidably mounted on the upper slide rail 41, and two lower sliders 420 are slidably mounted on the lower slide rail 42. The two second cylinders 44 are respectively mounted on the two lower sliders 420, and the upper slider 410 is connected to the two lower sliders 420 through a connecting plate 43. In addition, a fixing bolt 45 is mounted on the upper slider 410. In this way, by tightening or loosening the fixing bolt 45, the upper slider 410 can be moved, which in turn drives the two lower sliders 420 to move laterally through the connecting plate 43, and then drives the two second cylinders 44 and the cross cutter 440 to adjust their positions laterally, thereby realizing the multi-position drilling function and completing efficient and precise operations.
[0024] Specifically, for cutting EPE material, the cutting blade module 5 in this embodiment includes a support plate 50 mounted on the frame 1, an upper linear module 51 and a lower linear module 52 mounted on the upper and lower parts of the support plate 50, an upper cylinder 53 mounted on the upper linear module 51, a lower cylinder 54 mounted on the lower linear module 52, and cutting blades mounted on the output ends of the upper cylinder 53 and the lower cylinder 54. The upper linear module 51 and the lower linear module 52 can drive the upper cylinder 53 and the lower cylinder 54 to move laterally, thereby moving and adjusting the position of the cutting blades. The EPE material is cut by the cutting blades under the drive of the conveying mechanism 3. The cutting blades are divided into an upper blade holder and a lower blade holder. The blades on the upper blade holder cut the EPE material from top to bottom, and the blades on the lower blade holder cut the EPE material from bottom to top. The stroke of the blades can also be adjusted by the stroke of the upper cylinder 53 and the lower cylinder 54 to achieve the function of cutting the entire or partial thickness of the EPE material.
[0025] As can be seen from the above design, this embodiment integrates modules such as the frame, feeding mechanism, conveying mechanism, cross blade holder module, and cutting blade holder module into a single structure. The feeding mechanism unloads the rolled EPE material, the conveying mechanism transfers the EPE material through input and output, the cross blade holder module punches cross holes in the EPE material, and the cutting blade holder module cuts the EPE material, thereby achieving rapid movement and automatic punching and cutting functions. It can complete the cutting and processing of EPE materials of different sizes and can also be integrated with PLC electrical control to achieve mechatronics control. In addition, the cross blade holder module, through the design of upper slide rail, lower slide rail, upper slider, lower slider, connecting plate, and fixing bolts, allows for the position adjustment and movement of the cross blade. The cutting blade holder module controls the lateral movement position of the cutting blade through upper and lower linear modules, thereby achieving multi-position punching and multi-position cutting functions, completing efficient and precise operations.
