[0027] The cutting device includes a display controller 28, a cutting table 29, a cutting machine 30, a discharge trough 31 and a discharging trough 32.

[0028] The pipe transferring mechanism includes a pipe transferring motor 33, a gear linkage rod 34, a pipe transferring rack 35, a lifting cylinder 36 and a counting screen clamp 37. The pipe transferring motor 33 is fixed in the frame 1. The output end of the pipe transferring motor 33 is connected to the gear linkage rod 34 for transmission.

The output end of the lifting cylinder 36 is adapted to be connected to the counting screen clamp 37.
[0029] The material storage grabbing mechanism includes a tube storage rack 38, a baffle 39 and a push-flattening cylinder 40. An inclined tube storage rack 38 is provided on one side of the frame 1.

[0030] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: the pipe to be sample cut is placed on the pipe storage rack 38, and the pipe moves downward freely under the action of gravity. When it moves downward to the push-leveling cylinder 40, the end of the pipe is effectively aligned under the action of the push-leveling cylinder 40 and the baffle 39, and then the pipe continues to move downward, the lifting cylinder 36 extends, and the counting screen clamp 37 is lifted up to catch the aligned pipe. The pipe moving motor 33 is started, and the gear linkage rod 34 drives the pipe moving rack 35 to move toward the inside of the frame 1, so that the pipe on the counting screen clamp 37 is transported to the top of the guide roller 13, and then the lifting cylinder 36 is retracted, so that the pipe can fall smoothly onto the guide roller 13; at this time, the pipe moving motor 33 drives the gear linkage rod 34 to drive the pipe moving rack 35 to move toward the outside of the frame 1 to take the next pipe.
[0031] After taking four pipes, the bevel gear set 14 starts, and the four pipes are evenly transported forward to the clamping mechanism. The clamping cylinder 5 extends, and the main clamp 8 closes to effectively clamp and fix the four pipes. The clamping motor 2 starts, driving the main clamp 8 to move forward to the second auxiliary clamp 26. At this time, the pipes have extended out of the first auxiliary clamp 19. The adjustable cylinder 17 and the upper and lower cylinders 23 extend, and the pipes are fixed in the first auxiliary clamp 19 and the second auxiliary clamp 26 respectively.
[0032] The cutting machine 30 extends to cut the four pipes fixed in the first auxiliary fixture 19 and the second auxiliary fixture 26 at one time;
[0033] After the cutting is completed, the cutting machine 30 is lifted up, and the cut pipe is pushed out along the discharge chute 32 . The waste generated during the cutting process is collected by the discharge chute 31 below the cutting table 29 .
[0034] It needs to be explained that the display controller 28, each cylinder, and each motor used in the present invention are all common models on the market that can be purchased by oneself. The display controller 28 electrically controls each cylinder and motor respectively. The control connection methods involved can also be easily implemented by the staff in this field in the existing technology. It is not the innovation of the present invention, so the specific control connection method is not marked in the figure and is not described in detail.
[0035] This utility model features a simple overall structure, effectively improving production efficiency and cutting accuracy. Through the connection between the clamping motor 2 and the display controller 28, the stroke of the clamping motor 2 can be edited, enabling timely adjustment of the sample pipe cutting length and ensuring that the accuracy of each cut is within the allowable error range. The clamping mechanism allows four sample pipes to be clamped simultaneously for cutting by the cutter 30, significantly increasing the throughput per unit time. Furthermore, the high degree of automation and ease of operation reduce manual intervention and operational difficulty, while also reducing cutting errors caused by improper operation and improving the consistency and quality of the cut pipe products.
[0036] The above embodiments are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and cannot be used to limit the scope of rights of the present invention. Therefore, modifications, equivalent changes, improvements, etc. made according to the scope of the patent application of the present invention are still within the scope covered by the present invention.
