When an element is referred to as being "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or indirectly connected to the other element.

[0051] It should be understood that the orientation or position relationship indicated by terms such as "length", "width", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside" and "outside" are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as a limitation on the present application.

[0052] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0053] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material supporting device provided in the embodiment of the present application is now described. The material supporting device provided in the embodiment of the present application comprises a frame 10, a material supporting mechanism 20, and a material knocking mechanism 30. The bracket mainly provides support and fixing for the material supporting mechanism 20 and the material knocking mechanism 30.

[0054] The support mechanism 20 is arranged on the frame 10 to support the cutting section of the workpiece 100 to be cut. The workpiece 100 to be cut can be a pipe. It can be understood that the workpiece 100 to be cut is divided into a cutting section and a remaining section, and the cutting section will be separated from the remaining section after cutting.

[0055] The knocking mechanism 30 can be flipped on the frame 10 and can be flipped to the supporting side of the supporting mechanism 20. When the knocking mechanism 30 is flipped to the supporting side of the supporting mechanism 20, the knocking mechanism 30 can knock the cutting section on the supporting mechanism 20 to separate the cutting section from the remaining section of the workpiece 100 to be cut. When the cutting section is not completely cut off, the knocking mechanism 30 can knock the cutting section to completely separate the cutting section from the remaining section, thereby ensuring smooth unloading of the cutting section without manual operation, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0056] The supporting device provided in the embodiment of the present application supports the cutting section of the workpiece 100 to be cut by means of the supporting mechanism 20, thereby preventing the cutting section from being suspended in the air and preventing the workpiece from being bent and deformed, and can be flipped on the frame 10 by means of the knocking mechanism 30, and can be flipped to the supporting side of the supporting mechanism 20, and the knocking mechanism 30 can knock the cutting section on the supporting mechanism 20 to separate the cutting section from the remaining section of the workpiece 100 to be cut, thereby completely separating the cutting section from the remaining section, thereby ensuring smooth unloading of the cutting section, without the need for manual operation, and effectively improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0057] See also Figure 3 The knocking mechanism 30 may include a mounting seat 31, a knocking rack 32 and a first driving member 33. The mounting seat 31 is arranged on the frame 10. The knocking rack 32 can be flipped and arranged on the mounting seat 31. The first driving member 33 is connected to the knocking rack 32 in a transmission manner to push the knocking rack 32 to flip to the supporting side of the supporting mechanism 20. The knocking rack 32 is driven to flip by the first driving member 33, so that the knocking rack 32 can knock the cutting section on the supporting mechanism 20, so as to achieve complete separation of the cutting section and the remaining section, and ensure smooth unloading. Specifically, the first driving member 33 can be a telescopic cylinder, a linear motor, etc.

[0058] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The knocking rack 32 may include a knocking plate 321, a rotating shaft 322 and a mounting plate 323. The rotating shaft 322 is disposed on the knocking plate 321 and can be rotatably mounted on the mounting seat 31. The mounting plate 323 is disposed at one end of the knocking plate 321 and is transmission-connected to the first driving member 33. The end of the knocking plate 321 away from the mounting plate 323 knocks the cutting segment on the supporting mechanism 20. Driven by the first driving member 33, the knocking plate 321 rotates relative to the mounting seat 31 around the rotating shaft 322, so that the end of the knocking plate 321 away from the mounting plate 323 can contact the cutting segment on the supporting mechanism 20 to knock the cutting segment. It has a simple structure and is easy to assemble.

[0059] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 The knocking frame 32 may further include a reinforcing plate 324, which is disposed on the side of the knocking plate 321 away from the contact between the knocking plate 321 and the cutting section. By disposing the reinforcing plate 324, the structural strength of the knocking plate 321 can be improved, making the overall structure safe and reliable. Specifically, the reinforcing plate 324 may include two or more to further improve the structural strength of the knocking plate 321.

[0060] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5The knocking mechanism 30 may include one or more than two groups. When the knocking mechanism 30 includes more than two groups, the two or more knocking mechanisms 30 may be spaced apart along the length direction of the cutting section, so that the cutting section can be uniformly stressed, so that the cutting section can be better separated from the remaining section.

[0061] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The supporting device may further include a floating support assembly 40, such as Figure 6 As shown, the floating support assembly 40 may include a floating seat 41, a lifting drive assembly 42 and an elastic member 43. The floating seat 41 is movably disposed on the frame 10, and the support mechanism 20 is disposed on the floating seat 41. The lifting drive assembly 42 is in transmission connection with the floating seat 41 to drive the floating seat 41 to rise and fall relative to the frame 10. One end of the elastic member 43 is connected to the frame 10, and the other end is connected to the floating seat 41, and the elastic force direction of the elastic member 43 is the same as the lifting direction of the floating seat 41.

[0062] By setting the lifting drive assembly 42, the floating seat 41 can be driven to rise and fall relative to the frame 10, thereby driving the supporting mechanism 20 to rise and fall synchronously, thereby satisfying the support function of rectangular tubes or special-shaped tubes and tubes of different sizes during axial rotation processing, and after the tube processing is completed, it can facilitate the unloading of the tube to prevent the tube from falling from an excessively high height and being damaged.

[0063] The setting of the elastic member 43 can provide a certain pulling force during the lifting and lowering of the floating seat 41, so that the floating seat 41 is relatively stable during the movement and avoids the situation of rapid lifting and lowering. Specifically, the elastic member 43 can be a compression spring or a tension spring.

[0064] See also Figure 6 The lifting drive assembly 42 may include a second driving member 421, a transmission shaft 422, a gear 423 and a rack 424. The second driving member 421 is disposed on the frame 10. The transmission shaft 422 is in transmission connection with the second driving member 421 and is driven to rotate by the second driving member 421. The gear 423 is disposed on the transmission shaft 422. The rack 424 is disposed on the floating seat 41 and is meshed with the gear 423. When the gear 423 rotates, the floating seat 41 is lifted and lowered by the rack 424. The transmission shaft 422 is driven to rotate by the second driving member 421, so that the gear 423 is synchronously rotated, and the floating seat 41 is lifted and lowered by the meshing action of the gear 423 and the rack 424. Specifically, the second driving member 421 may be a rotary motor.

[0065] See also Figure 6The floating support assembly 40 may further include a guide rail 44 and a slider (not shown). The guide rail 44 is disposed on the frame 10. The slider can be slidably mounted on the guide rail 44, and the slider is connected to the side of the floating seat 41 away from the rack 424. The cooperation between the guide rail 44 and the slider can play a guiding role, so as to achieve the movement accuracy of the floating seat 41 and avoid deviation.

[0066] See also Figure 7 The supporting mechanism 20 may include a mounting frame 21, a pallet assembly 22 and a first flipping drive assembly 23. The mounting frame 21 is arranged on a floating seat 41. The pallet assembly 22 can be flipped and arranged on the mounting frame 21. The first flipping drive assembly 23 is arranged on the mounting frame 21 and is transmission-connected to the pallet assembly 22. The first flipping drive assembly 23 drives the pallet assembly 22 to rotate to a first preset angle to support the cutting segment, or to rotate to a second preset angle to unload the cut segment after cutting. Through the first flipping drive assembly 23, the pallet assembly 22 can be driven to flip, and then the cutting segment can be supported or the cutting segment can be unloaded. Specifically, the first flipping drive assembly 23 can be a cylinder, and the pallet assembly 22 is flipped by the extension and contraction of the cylinder.

[0067] See also Figure 7 , the support plate assembly 22 may include a support plate 221, a residual material plate 222 and a second flip drive assembly 223. The support plate 221 may be flipped and arranged on the mounting frame 21, and the first flip drive assembly 23 is connected to the support plate 221 in a transmission manner. The residual material plate 222 may be flipped and arranged on one side of the support plate 221 along the length direction, and the length direction of the support plate 221 is arranged at an angle with the lifting direction of the floating seat 41. Specifically, the length direction of the support plate 221 is arranged at 90° with the lifting direction of the floating seat 41. The second flip drive assembly 223 is arranged on the support plate 221, and the second flip drive assembly 223 drives the residual material plate 222 to flip relative to the support plate 221. When the residual material plate 222 and the support plate 221 are in the same horizontal plane, the residual material plate 222 and the support plate 221 can jointly support the cutting section. When the residual material plate 222 flips to the bottom relative to the support plate 221, the pipe tail material or the waste material generated during processing can be discharged at this time. Specifically, the second flip driving assembly 223 may be a cylinder.
