Usually, it is discarded, which will cause waste of pipes. Even if it is cut into shorter pipes, it will be mixed with other pipes of normal dimensions, and subsequent screening is still required, resulting in a reduction in production efficiency. Summary of the Utility Model

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0016] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a material separating device for a laser pipe cutting machine, including a frame 1, a laser cutting head 2 arranged on the frame 1 for cutting pipes, and a pneumatic chuck 3 installed on the frame 1 for clamping pipes. The laser cutting head 2 and the pneumatic chuck 3 are both prior arts, so they will not be specifically elaborated. A linear module 9 is provided at the top of the frame 1. The linear module 9 is used to adjust the position of the support plate 10. The moving end of the linear module 9 is provided with the support plate 10. A first cylinder 11 is installed at the bottom of the support plate 10. The first cylinder 11 is used to adjust the position of the material box 12. When the first cylinder 11 is fully retracted, the material box 12 is completely below the support plate 10 and cannot receive materials. The output end of the first cylinder 11 is provided with a material box 12 for collecting pipes. When the pipe is cut to the end and cannot meet the dimensional requirements of the normal length but only meets other shorter dimensional requirements, at this time, under the action of the first cylinder 11, the material box 12 moves out from below the support plate 10, and the laser cutting head 2 cuts the end pipe into a shorter size. The pipe falls into the material box 12, thereby separating it from the pipes of normal length and waste materials, thus realizing the material separation function without the need for subsequent selection again, improving production efficiency. A guiding inclined plane 14 is provided on the frame 1. A baffle 5 is movably installed on the guiding inclined plane 14. The pipes with normal cutting dimensions will roll down directly along the baffle 5 and the guiding inclined plane 14. The baffle 5 is used to block the cut pipes, so as to separate the pipes from the waste materials. A second cylinder 13 for controlling the rotation of the baffle 5 is installed inside the frame 1. When the second cylinder 13 retracts, the second cylinder 13 will drive the baffle 5 to rotate counterclockwise, and the baffle 5 will immediately open. When the second cylinder 13 extends, the second cylinder 13 will drive the baffle 5 to rotate clockwise, and the baffle 5 will immediately close.

[0018] Wherein, one side of the baffle 5 is connected to the frame 1 through a hinge, so that the baffle 5 can be rotated and opened. One end of the second cylinder 13 is hinged to the inner wall of the frame 1, and the output end of the second cylinder 13 is hinged to the bottom of the baffle 5, so that certain-angle rotations can occur between the second cylinder 13 and the guiding plate 4 and the frame 1, avoiding the jamming of the second cylinder 13.

[0019] Wherein, a collection box 6 is provided inside the frame 1 and below the baffle 5. The collection box 6 is used to collect the waste materials generated by cutting.

[0020] Wherein, a block 8 for supporting the pipe is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 10. A groove 7 is provided on one side of the block 8 close to the pneumatic chuck 3. One end of the pipe can extend into the groove 7, so that the block 8 can support one end of the pipe, thereby preventing one end of the pipe from bending due to gravity and affecting the cutting effect.

[0021] Among them, two guiding plates 4 are fixedly connected to the top of the material guiding inclined plane 14. The guiding plates 4 are used to block the cut pipe to prevent the pipe from shifting when rolling on the baffle 5 and the material guiding inclined plane 14.

[0022] Specifically, during operation, the pipe moves to the pneumatic chuck 3 under the action of an external feeding mechanism and extends a short distance. Subsequently, the second cylinder 13 contracts, causing the baffle 5 to rotate counterclockwise. The baffle 5 no longer blocks the collection box 6, and the laser cutting head 2 cuts one end of the pipe. At this time, the cut-off is the end waste, which falls into the collection box 6. After the cutting is completed, the second cylinder 13 extends, causing the baffle 5 to rotate clockwise to block the collection box 6. Then, the linear module 9 moves the support plate 10, and the support plate 10 drives the stopper 8 to move to the designated position. The pipe extends the normal length to be cut, and one end of the pipe enters the groove 7. The stopper 8 supports one end of the pipe to prevent it from bending, and the laser cutting head 2 can cut the pipe. At this time, the cut-off is the pipe of normal size. The pipe of normal size rolls along the baffle 5 and the material guiding inclined plane 14 and can be collected using a box or directly conveyed to the next station using a conveyor belt. When the pipe is cut to the very end, the remaining length of the pipe can no longer meet the normal size requirements but meets the shorter size requirements. Subsequently, the first cylinder 11 moves the material box 12. The first cylinder 11 moves out from under the support plate 10 and moves to under the laser cutting head 2. The laser cutting head 2 cuts the pipe, and at this time, the cut-off is the pipe of shorter size, which falls into the material box 12, thus realizing material separation. Finally, for the remaining end waste, after the material box 12 is retracted, the baffle 5 opens, and the end waste falls into the collection box 6.
