Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of mechanical processing, in particular to an automatic rod unloading device and a cutting machine. Background Art

[0002] In the field of modern mechanical processing, rods are used as basic elements for constructing various mechanical structures and transmission systems. For example, they can be used as transmission components in mechanical transmission systems to transmit related mechanical motion, as components in various supporting structures (such as frames, grids or brackets, etc.) to provide necessary support and stability, or as motion guide components in molds, sliders and other systems to ensure precise linear motion trajectories.

[0003] In the processing and production of rods, there are many kinds of raw materials for rods, the most common of which are metal materials (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, etc.), plastics (such as polycarbonate, ABS, etc.) and wood, etc. Among them, for the raw materials of metal rods, sometimes in order to meet higher design requirements, such as improving the surface finish of the rods, or improving the accuracy of the rods, or processing specific shapes, or adjusting the size of the rods, etc., it is often necessary to further process the raw materials of the rods, such as cutting, etc. For example, the car door lock pull rod used in the vehicle system, its function is to transmit the operating force of the door handle outside the car or the lock button inside the car to the door lock mechanism, which will directly affect whether the door can be correctly closed and locked when needed, and is an important part of car safety. Therefore, in the processing and production of car door lock pull rods, its surface finish, accuracy, etc. are particularly important, and high-quality cutting is required.

This method not only has high labor costs and low production efficiency, but is also prone to safety accidents, has poor reliability, lacks market competitive advantages, and is not conducive to the development of the enterprise.
