[0032] The PLA straw processing cutting device disclosed in this embodiment is as follows: before use, the bolts 412 and the threaded rod 414 are loosened; after adjusting the cutting mechanism 4 to a suitable position with reference to the scale on the scale bar 13, the bolts 412 are tightened; the threaded rod 414 is rotated so that the end face of the threaded rod 414 is closely fitted with the mounting block 12, and the position of the cutting mechanism 4 is fixed; the two sets of first telescopic rods 22 are controlled to retract by the controller 6, so as to drive the first mounting frame 23 and the first limiting roller 24 to move upward, thereby increasing the distance between the first limiting roller 24 and the power roller 25; the two second telescopic rods 32 are controlled to retract by the controller 6, thereby increasing the distance between the first limiting rod 34 and the second limiting rod 35. The PLA straw 5 raw material to be cut is passed through the roller groove 251 and the first semicircular groove 241 in the feeding mechanism 2 far away from the cutting mechanism 4 in sequence, and then the straw head is passed through the second semicircular groove 351 and the third semicircular groove 441 in sequence until it passes through the other feeding mechanism 2. The two feeding mechanisms 2 are numbered in the controller 6, taking A and B as an example, where A represents the feeding mechanism 2 far away from the cutting mechanism 4, and B represents the feeding mechanism 2 close to the cutting mechanism 4. The controller 6 is used to control the two second telescopic rods 32 to extend, and the first limiting rod 34 is pushed downward to reduce the distance between the two second semicircular grooves 351, so that the two second telescopic rods 32 are closer to each other. The two semicircular grooves 351 clamp the straws, and the controller 6 is used to control the two first telescopic rods 22 in the B feeding mechanism 2 to extend, so that the first semicircular groove 241 and the roller groove 251 clamp the ends of the straws, and then the controller 6 is used to control the third telescopic rod 42 to extend, driving the cutter 43 to move downward to cut the straws. After the cutting is completed, the first telescopic rod 22, the second telescopic rod 32 and the third telescopic rod 42 are simultaneously retracted and reset. At this time, the servo motors 27 in the A and B feeding mechanisms 2 are simultaneously started, and the two power rollers 25 roll, driving the PLA straw 5 raw material and the cut PLA straw 5 to move to one end above the carrier plate 11 away from the A feeding mechanism 2, respectively completing the PLA feeding. The feeding and unloading operations of the LA straw 5 are as follows: when the end of the PLA straw 5 raw material is pushed into the B feeding mechanism 2 again, the servo motor 27 in the A feeding mechanism 2 is turned off, and then the telescopic operation of the first telescopic rod 22 in the B feeding mechanism 2, the second telescopic rod 32 in the limiting mechanism 3 and the third telescopic rod 42 in the cutting mechanism 4 is repeated to cut the PLA straw 5. The cut PLA straw 5 is unloaded through the B feeding mechanism 2. The operations of the above-mentioned telescopic rods and the two servo motors 27 are compiled into an operation combination in the controller 6. The automatic feeding, clamping, cutting and unloading operations of the PLA straw 5 can be realized by selecting the corresponding operation combination before use.
