[0028] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art will appreciate that these descriptions are merely illustrative and exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] It should be noted that like reference numerals denote like items in the following drawings, and thus, once an item is defined in one drawing, it may not be further defined or explained in subsequent drawings.

[0030] Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the laser tube cutting machine with a waste detection mechanism includes a body 1, a laser cutter 2 slidably connected to the body 1, and a clamping member 23 located below the laser cutter 2. Therefore, when cutting the tube, the clamping member 23 clamps the tube to facilitate the laser cutter 2 to open and cut the tube. The clamping member 23 is fixedly connected to the body 1. The body 1 is provided with a slide 3 on one side of the clamping member 23. A collection basket 5 is slidably connected to the slide 3. A slope 4 is provided on the slide 3. The clamping member 23 releases the cut tube, and the cut tube slides along the slope 4.

[0031] Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, the slide 3 is provided with a downwardly concave sink 11 on the inclined surface 4. The cut pipe will fall into the sink 11 during the sliding process on the inclined surface 4. A through groove 20 is provided on the bottom surface of the sink 11. A rotating plate 7 is rotatably connected in the through groove 20. A detection plate 8 is slidably connected to the rotating plate 7. A number of protrusions 9 corresponding to the holes of the pipe are fixedly connected to the detection plate 8. Therefore, when the pipe falls into the sink 11, if the holes on the pipe are cut in compliance, the protrusions 9 can be smoothly inserted into the holes of the pipe. After the pipe is tested for compliance, the rotating plate 7 rotates to allow the compliant pipe to enter the collection basket 5 in the slide 3 for collection. When the holes on the pipe are not compliant, the pipe is located above the protrusion 9. At this time, the staff can take the non-compliant pipe out of the sink 11, thereby completing the inspection of whether the pipe is compliant. The inspection process is convenient and fast, saving some labor.

[0032] Figure 5As shown, the projection 9 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 12, so that when the pipe falls into the sink 11, the projection 9 can be smoothly inserted into the hole of the pipe, thereby improving the accuracy of the projection 9 being inserted into the hole of the pipe.

[0033] Figure 1-Figure 5 As shown, a number of sensors 10 are fixedly connected to the inner bottom surface of the trough 11, and an indicator light 24 connected to the sensor 10 is provided on the slide 3. The indicator light 24 can display two colors, red and green. When the protrusion 9 is stuck in the hole on the pipe, the hole on the pipe is compliant, and the pipe is in contact with the sensor 10. The indicator light 24 lights up green and the sensor 10 controls the rotation of the turn plate 7, so that the compliant pipes enter the slide 3 for collection.

[0034] Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, a number of rollers 18 are rotatably connected to the inner wall of the trough 11, and the rollers 18 are connected to the sensor 10. Therefore, when the protrusions 9 on the detection plate 8 cannot be stuck in the holes of the pipes, the pipes are located above the protrusions 9 and the pipes are separated from the sensor 10 but are in contact with the rollers 18. At this time, the indicator light 24 lights up red and controls the rotation of the rollers 18. As the rollers 18 rotate, the steel pipes rotate, and as the rollers 18 rotate, the steel pipes also rotate accordingly, thereby adjusting the direction of the holes in the steel pipes to avoid the situation where the holes and protrusions 9 are misaligned when the steel pipes fall into the trough 11. If the steel pipes still do not form contact with the sensor 10 after one rotation, the indicator light 24 continues to light red, and the staff can take out the pipes for separate inspection.

[0035] Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, when the tube is rotating and the protrusion 9 is successfully inserted into the hole of the tube, the sensor 10 senses the tube and controls the indicator light 24 to light up green. At this time, the roller 18 stops rotating and the turn plate 7 rotates, allowing the compliant tube to enter the slide 3. This design can adjust the direction of the tube hole when the tube hole is staggered with the protrusion 9, so that the protrusion 9 can be smoothly inserted into the hole of the compliant tube, further improving the accuracy and practicality of tube quality inspection.

[0036] Figure 5 As shown, each roller 18 is fixedly connected to a non-slip pad on its surface, which can increase the friction between the roller 18 and the pipe, so that the roller 18 can better push the pipe to rotate.

[0037] Figure 3-Figure 7As shown, the rotating shaft 16 that passes through the rotating plate 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 7, and a groove 17 that communicates with the through groove 20 is opened on the slide 3. The rotating shaft 16 rotates in the groove 17, and one end of the rotating shaft 16 extends to the outside of the slide 3. The inclined surface 4 is fixedly connected to the motor 6 that is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 16. Therefore, when the pipe is detected to be compliant, the sensor 10 controls the motor 6 to start, and the output end of the motor 6 drives the rotating shaft 16 and the rotating plate 7 fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 16 to rotate. At this time, the protrusion 9 stuck in the hole of the pipe drives the pipe to rotate with the rotating plate 7 until the gravity is greater than the friction between the pipe and the protrusion 9 and the rotating plate 7. At this time, the pipe falls into the slide 3 due to gravity. This design drives the rotating plate 7 to rotate, thereby collecting compliant pipes.

[0038] Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, two groups of limit blocks 19 are fixedly connected in the through groove 20, and the two limit blocks 19 form a group, one of which is located at the end of the rotating plate 7 and below the rotating plate 7, and the other group of limit blocks 19 is located at the tail of the rotating plate 7 and above the rotating plate 7. When the rotating plate 7 is in the through groove 20, the rotating plate 7 and the two groups of limit blocks 19 are abutted. When the rotating plate 7 rotates, the rotating plate 7 and the two groups of limit blocks 19 are separated, and as the rotating plate 7 rotates, the end of the rotating plate 7 abuts against the limit block 19 originally located at the tail, and the tail of the rotating plate 7 abuts against the limit block 19 originally located at the end. This design plays a role in limiting the rotation of the rotating plate 7, preventing the rotating plate 7 from rotating within a range of more than 365 degrees, and enabling the rotating plate 7 to be in a horizontal position when resetting, further facilitating the protrusion 9 to be more accurately stuck in the hole of the pipe.

[0039] Figure 3-Figure 7 As shown, one end of the through groove 20 is connected to the outside world, and a rectangular groove 15 connected to the outside world is provided on the rotating plate 7. The detection plate 8 slides in the rectangular groove 15. Two slide bars 13 are fixedly connected to the detection plate 8. A slide groove 14 is provided on the inner wall of the rectangular groove 15 to facilitate the sliding of the slide bar 13. When the holes opened on different pipes are different, the detection plate 8 can be pulled out through the end of the through groove 20 connected to the outside world. At this time, the slide bar 13 slides in the slide groove 14, and the required detection plate 8 can be further slid into the rectangular groove 15. This design facilitates the replacement of the detection plate 8, thereby improving the applicability of the structure, and the slide bar 13 and the slide groove 14 can limit the longitudinal movement range of the detection plate 8.

[0040] Figure 3-Figure 9As shown, the two slide bars 13 are fixedly connected with a plurality of blocks 21, and the inner wall of the slide groove 14 is provided with a plurality of slots 22 for easy insertion of the blocks 21. Therefore, when the detection plate 8 is located in the rectangular groove 15, the blocks 21 are inserted into the slots 22, thereby fixing the detection plate 8 in the rectangular groove 15 to prevent the detection plate 8 from sliding when the rotating plate 7 rotates. The blocks 21 and the slots 22 are both provided with curved surfaces. When different detection plates 8 are installed in the rectangular grooves 15, as the detection plate 8 slides into the rectangular groove 15, the slide bar 13 also slides in the slide groove 14 until one end of the detection plate 8 abuts against the inner wall of the rectangular groove 15. At this time, the blocks 21 are inserted into the slots 22 along the curved surface to fix the detection plate 8. This design can facilitate the blocks 21 to be inserted into the slots 22.

This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The above examples are intended only to facilitate understanding of the present invention and its core concept. It should be noted that those skilled in the art may make various improvements and modifications to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
