Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 , an automatic gate-cutting device, including a base 1, a bolt 2 is movably connected inside the base 1, a robotic arm 3 is arranged at the upper end of the base 1, a cutter body 4 is arranged at the rotating end of the robotic arm 3, a connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the right side of the rotating end of the robotic arm 3, a vision camera body 6 is in contact with the lower end of the connecting plate 5, a plug 7 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the vision camera body 6, the plug 7 is slidably connected to the connecting plate 5, a plug rod 8 is slidably connected inside the connecting plate 5, the plug rod 8 is slidably connected to the plug 7, a end plate 9 is fixedly connected to the right end of the plug rod 8, a spring 10 is arranged outside the plug rod 8, one end of the spring 10 is welded to the end plate 9, and the other end of the spring 10 is welded to the connecting plate 5. Through the setting of the spring 10, the end plate 9 can be connected and used. A triangular buckle is fixedly connected to the right side of the end plate 9. The triangular buckle is made of rubber. Through the setting of the triangular buckle, it is convenient for the operator to pull the plug rod 8 to move, and the rubber material has a good contact feel.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 , two card holes 11 are formed on the surface of the vision camera body 6. The two card holes 11 are evenly distributed on the vision camera body 6. Through the setting of the card holes 11, it is convenient to cooperate with the card balls 14 for clamping use. A dust-proof cover 12 is slidably sleeved outside the vision camera body 6. The dust-proof cover 12 is in contact with the connecting plate 5. Elastic members 13 are adhered to the inner wall of the dust-proof cover 12. A plurality of elastic members 13 are evenly distributed on the dust-proof cover 12. Through the setting of the elastic members 13, the card balls 14 can be tightly pressed. The other end of the elastic member 13 is adhered with a card ball 14.

[0023] The specific implementation process of the present utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to use the automatic gate-cutting device, by pulling the right side of the triangular buckle box to move, the end plate 9 is driven to move, and then the insertion rod 8 is driven to move, the spring 10 deforms, and finally the insertion rod 8 is separated from the connecting plate 5. Then, the vision camera body 6 is pushed to contact the connecting plate 5, so that the insertion block 7 is inserted into the connecting plate 5, and the triangular buckle is released, so that the spring 10 restores deformation to pull the insertion rod 8 to insert into the insertion block 7, and the insertion block 7 is inserted and limited, so that the insertion block 7 drives the vision camera body 6 to be stably placed, which is convenient for the operator to quickly install and use;

[0024] Through the setting of the dust-proof cover 12, the vision camera body 6 can be protected to avoid the problem that the lens of the vision camera body 6 is invaded by dust in the idle state. When it is necessary to cut the gate of plastic products, the dust-proof cover 12 can be pulled downward, and the inner wall of the card hole 11 squeezes the card ball 14 to drive the elastic member 13 to deform, and finally the card ball 14 is separated from the card hole 11, and the dust-proof cover 12 is removed, which is convenient for the subsequent use of the vision camera body 6;

[0025] Through the settings of structures such as the robotic arm 3 and the cutter body 4, it can replace manual trimming of plastic gates, and under the action of the vision camera body 6, it can track the gates of plastic products to automatically adjust the cutting position and make the cutting more stable.
