[0016] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. Place the component to be cut on the cutting table. Then, adjust the motor to run and drive the adjusting screw rod to rotate, so that the two sliders move away from each other. The two sliders respectively drive one end of the connecting rod movably connected thereto to move together with the slider. The other ends of the two connecting rods push the U-shaped plate and the lifting plate downward, so that the protective cover moves downward synchronously until the bottom of the protective cover contacts the upper surface of the component to be cut. The moving motor runs and drives the moving screw rod to rotate, and the bottom of the gantry then moves in the moving groove, so that the entire gantry moves until the cutting head moves to the edge of the component to be cut. Then, the moving motor stops running. Dry ice is introduced into the cutting head through the dry ice conduit. The moving motor runs again to drive the gantry to move, so that the cutting head moves along the upper surface of the component to be cut for cutting. Since the protective cover is located outside the cutting head, during cutting, the cutting air pump works, and the carbon dioxide gas generated during the cutting of the cutting head is discharged into the carbon dioxide gas recovery tank through the protective cover, the air guide pipe, and finally the exhaust pipe. The cutting efficiency is high, and at the same time, it can prevent environmental pollution and prevent the staff from inhaling too much carbon dioxide and getting into danger. Currently, the commonly used cutting methods are mainly divided into two types: cold cutting and hot cutting. Cold cutting technologies mainly include diamond wire sawing, circular sawing, high-pressure water jet cutting, etc.; hot cutting technologies mainly include underwater plasma cutting, oxyacetylene torch cutting, etc. However, mechanical cold cutting methods such as diamond wire sawing and circular sawing have low cutting efficiency and consume a large amount of consumables; high-pressure water jet cutting and underwater plasma cutting will generate a large amount of secondary wastewater; oxyacetylene torch cutting will generate a large amount of radioactive aerosol. At the decommissioning site, the amount of secondary waste increases, and at the same time, it will also have an impact on the environment. This device has high cutting efficiency, can prevent environmental pollution, and can prevent the staff from inhaling too much carbon dioxide and getting into danger.

[0018] 2. When cutting, the recovery air pump operates to suck the carbon dioxide gas passing through the part to be cut into the air guide chamber through the rectangular groove, and finally discharge it into the carbon dioxide gas recovery tank through the recovery conduit inside the recovery air pump, which also plays the role of preventing and reducing pollution and protecting the staff. During cutting, a certain amount of waste residue will be generated. When cleaning the waste residue, the waste residue is pushed towards the side guard plate, and due to the blockage of the guard plate, the waste residue will fall into the collection box, which is convenient for subsequent centralized treatment of the waste residue.

[0030] Place the part to be cut on the cutting table 1. Subsequently, adjust the operation of the motor 7 to drive the adjustment lead screw 8 to rotate, causing the two sliders 9 to move away from each other. The two sliders 9 respectively drive one end of the connecting rod 11 movably connected thereto to move together with the slider 9. The other ends of the two connecting rods 11 push the U-shaped plate 13 and the lifting plate 12 downward, thereby synchronously moving the protective cover 15 downward until the bottom of the protective cover 15 contacts the upper surface of the part to be cut. The moving motor 3 operates to drive the moving lead screw 4 to rotate, and the bottom of the gantry 5 then moves in the moving groove 2, thereby moving the entire gantry 5 until the cutting head 14 moves to the edge of the part to be cut.

A support plate 28 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the cutting table 1. A recovery air pump 29 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 28.

[0033] During cutting, the recovery air pump 29 operates to suck the carbon dioxide gas passing through the part to be cut into the air guide chamber 27 through the rectangular grooves 25, and finally discharges it into the carbon dioxide gas recovery tank through the inside of the recovery air pump 29 via the recovery conduit 30, which also plays the role of preventing and reducing pollution and protecting the staff.

[0034] The outer walls of both sides of the cutting table 1 are fixedly connected with guard plates 31, and the two sides of the gantry 5 are respectively located inside the two guard plates 31. The outer walls of both sides of the cutting table 1 are fixedly connected with collection boxes 32. When cutting, a certain amount of waste residue will be generated. When cleaning the waste residue, the waste residue is pushed to the guard plate 31 on one side. The waste residue will fall into the collection box 32 due to the obstruction of the guard plate 31, which is convenient for subsequent centralized treatment of the waste residue.

[0035] Working principle: the part to be cut is placed on the cutting table 1, and then the adjusting motor 7 is operated to drive the adjusting screw 8 to rotate, so that the two sliders 9 move back to back, and the two sliders 9 respectively drive one end of the connecting rod 11 movably connected thereto to move together with the slider 9, and the other ends of the two connecting rods 11 push the U-shaped plate 13 and the lifting plate 12 to move downward, so that the protective cover 15 moves downward synchronously until the bottom of the protective cover 15 contacts the upper surface of the part to be cut, and the moving motor 3 is operated to drive the moving screw 4 to rotate, and the bottom of the gantry 5 moves in the moving groove 2, thereby moving the entire gantry 5 until the cutting head 14 moves to the edge of the part to be cut, and then the moving motor 3 stops running, and dry ice is introduced into the cutting head 14 through the dry ice guide tube 20, and the moving motor 3 is operated again to drive the gantry 5 to move, so that the cutting head 14 moves along the part to be cut. The upper surface of the cutting part is moved for cutting. Since the protective cover 15 is located outside the cutting head 14, when cutting, the cutting air pump 18 works, and the carbon dioxide gas generated when the cutting head 14 cuts is passed through the protective cover 15 and the air guide pipe 19, and the carbon dioxide gas is finally discharged into the carbon dioxide gas recovery tank through the exhaust pipe 21.
