The hollow rotating platform 20, or a digital rotating platform, is a platform used in a variety of rotating motion occasions, which integrates high work efficiency, high precision, high rigidity and high cost performance. It is driven by a motor to realize automatic angle adjustment, and has a built-in hollow structure, which can be directly used as a rotating chuck. The hollow rotating platform 20 is horizontally fixedly installed on the right side of the support seat 10, and the central rotating part 21 of the hollow rotating platform 20 protrudes to the left side of the support seat 10 in a rotatable manner. At the same time, the center of the central rotating part 21 has a rotating channel suitable for placing the workpiece 60. After the workpiece 60 is placed in the rotating channel, the pneumatic clamping device of the hollow rotating platform 20 itself can clamp the workpiece 60, and then drive the workpiece 60 to rotate in a directional and constant speed, and cooperate with the laser cutting machine 50 to achieve the cutting and segmentation of the workpiece 60. The clamping cylinder 30 and the telescopic element 40 are both located on the side of the hollow rotating platform 20 away from the support seat 10, that is, on the right side of the hollow rotating platform 20. The clamping port of the clamping cylinder 30 faces the rotating channel and is used to clamp the workpiece 60 coming from the rotating channel. In addition, the clamping cylinder 30 is connected to the telescopic element 40 in a manner that it can be driven to be relatively close to or away from the hollow rotating platform 20. Therefore, after the clamping cylinder 30 clamps the workpiece 60, the telescopic element 40 drives the clamping cylinder 30 to move, thereby driving the workpiece 60 to move in a directional manner, thereby realizing automatic feeding of the workpiece 60, and the feeding length is precisely controllable. The cutting head 51 of the laser cutting machine 50 is located between the hollow rotating platform 20 and the clamping cylinder 30, and is used to cut the workpiece 60 at a predetermined position after the feeding is completed.

[0023] In short, for a longer workpiece 60, such as a 2.5-meter-long aluminum profile used to process an electronic cigarette shell, the workpiece 60 is first inserted from the left side and passes through the rotating channel of the hollow rotating platform 20, and then adjusted to a suitable length so that the workpiece 60 can be clamped by the clamping cylinder 30.

On the other hand, the two trapezoidal side plates 13 have a certain dead weight and can form a reinforcing rib structure on the other side of the hollow rotating platform 20, which can improve the structural strength of the mounting plate 11 and the installation stability of the hollow rotating platform 20.
