[0035] The rotating frame 9 is connected to the cutter shaft slideway 13 through a connecting bolt. The cutter shaft slideway 13 is an N-shaped structure, and a third threaded through hole is opened on its outer side wall. The first threaded through hole 23 of the rotating frame 9 and the third threaded through hole of the cutter shaft slideway 13 are consistent in size and coaxial. The bolts are matched with the first threaded through hole 23 and the third threaded through hole to realize the connection between the rotating frame 9 and the cutter shaft slideway 13.

[0036] In order to maintain the stability of the gas path of the cylinder 10 when the rotating frame 9 rotates, Figure 1 , Figures 2 to 7As shown, an air dividing ring 5 is further installed between the housing 4 and the shaft cylinder 22. There are two air dividing rings 5 ​​with the same structure, namely the first air dividing ring 501 and the second air dividing ring 502, which correspond to the air inlet pipeline and the air return pipeline respectively. The air dividing ring 5 is annular, and its outer ring surface and inner ring surface are respectively provided with an outer ring groove and an inner ring groove. The inner ring groove and the outer ring groove are connected through a channel. The housing 4 is provided with an air inlet ( Figure 1 B in the middle) and the air outlet ( Figure 1 At D in the middle, the air inlet is connected to the outer ring groove of the first air dividing ring 501, and the air outlet is connected to the outer ring groove of the second air dividing ring 502. The shaft cylinder 22 is provided with a first air inlet and a first air outlet, the first air inlet is connected to the inner ring groove of the first air dividing ring 501, and the first air outlet is connected to the inner ring groove of the second air dividing ring 502.

The other end of the second outlet ( Figure 1 The front end of the cylinder 10 is connected to the air ring 5 at E in the middle through a hose. In order to seal the air dividing ring 5, O-rings are installed between the air dividing ring 5 and the housing 4 and the shaft cylinder 22. There are two bearings 6, which are arranged on the outside of the air dividing ring 5. In order to prevent dust from entering or oil leakage, a hole elastic retaining ring 7 is installed between the housing 4 and the shaft cylinder 22 on the outside of the bearing 6. The air inlet and the air outlet are connected to the air circuit control solenoid valve and then connected to the air source. The air circuit control solenoid valve is connected to the control switch and then connected to the power supply.

[0037] In order to drive the shaft cylinder 22 to rotate, Fig. 9 As shown, a second sprocket 3 is installed on the shaft tube 22, which is driven by a motor 1. The output end of the motor 1 is connected to a reducer, and the output end of the reducer is connected to a first sprocket 2. The outer diameter of the first sprocket 2 is smaller than the outer diameter of the second sprocket 3, and a transmission chain 21 is inserted between the two.

[0038] In order to maintain the stability of the material being cut, Figure 8 , Figures 11 to 13 As shown, a clamping device is provided at the front end of the cutter to clamp the cut material, and the clamping device includes a tube clamp frame 15, on which two sets of clamping cylinders 16 are hoisted horizontally opposite to each other through a cylinder front end fixing block 19, and the telescopic ends of the clamping cylinders 16 are connected to clamping blocks 20 through cylinder connecting blocks 17, and the opposite end surfaces of the two clamping blocks 20 are provided with V-shaped grooves for clamping, and the midpoint of the bottom end connecting line of the two V-shaped grooves is coaxial with the shaft tube 22.

[0039] The working principle of this utility model:

[0040] The copper tube 18 to be cut is passed through the shaft cylinder 22 and placed in the middle of the V-shaped groove of the clamping block 20 . The clamping cylinder 16 is started, and the two clamping blocks 20 move toward each other to clamp the copper tube 18 .

[0041] The air is ventilated to the air inlet of the outer shell 4, and the gas enters the outer ring groove of the first air dividing ring 501 from the air inlet, enters the inner ring groove through the channel, and then enters the first air inlet channel of the shaft tube 22, and then enters the rear end of the cylinder 10 through the second air inlet channel of the rotating frame 9, pushing the cylinder 10 to extend. The gas at the front end of the cylinder 10 enters the second air dividing ring 502 through the second air outlet channel and the first air outlet channel, and then leaves from the air outlet. The cylinder 10 pushes the cutting knife frame 12 to slide along the cutting knife shaft slide 13 until the cutting knife wheel 11 is connected to the copper tube 18.

[0042] The motor 1 is powered on and started. After the motor 1 is decelerated by the reducer, it drives the first sprocket 2 to rotate, and then drives the second sprocket 3 to rotate through the transmission chain 21, so that the shaft cylinder 22 rotates. The shaft cylinder 22 drives the rotating frame 9 to rotate and then drives the cutter shaft slideway 13 and the cutter wheel 11 to rotate to cut the copper tube 18. During the cutting process, the cutter wheel 11 gradually penetrates into the copper tube 18 under the force of the cylinder 10 until the copper tube 18 is cut off. During the rotation of the shaft cylinder 22, the first air inlet and the first air outlet rotate with it. Because the inner ring groove of the air dividing ring 5 is a continuous groove, the first air inlet and the first air outlet can always be connected with the inner ring groove during the rotation process, and then connected with the outer ring groove through the hole, so as to be connected with the air inlet and the air outlet, and the continuity of the air path is maintained.

[0043] After the cutting is completed, the motor 1 is stopped, and air is supplied to the cylinder 10 through the air outlet. The gas at the rear end of the cylinder 10 leaves from the air inlet, so that the cylinder 10 is retracted, and the copper tube 18 at the rear end is removed. The clamping cylinder 16 is controlled to be retracted to loosen the copper tube 18 at the front end, and the copper tube 18 at the front end is removed to complete the cutting.

[0044] The circuits and mechanical connections involved in the present utility model are conventional means used by those skilled in the art, and technical inspiration can be obtained through a limited number of experiments, which belong to common knowledge.

[0045] The control methods of the motor 1, the cylinder 10 and the clamping cylinder 16 are all prior arts, and those skilled in the art may refer to teaching materials and relevant product manuals to obtain technical inspiration.

[0046] Components not described in detail herein are prior art.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
