Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of pipeline processing, in particular to a heater pipeline cutter. Background Art

[0002] Various devices are needed in the automobile air-conditioning system, such as heaters, condensers and evaporators. These devices all require pipes. The material of the pipes is generally aluminum tubes. During processing, the aluminum tubes are first cut into the required length and then processed subsequently.

[0003] To improve cutting efficiency, existing pipe cutting machines typically place multiple pipes side by side and cut them simultaneously when cutting profiles of a certain length. This requires ensuring that the profiles are completely flush at one end before cutting, so the cutting machine needs to cut off a portion of the side-by-side profiles before cutting. Before cutting, the cutter needs to manually arrange the profiles neatly, and whether the profiles are aligned depends entirely on the operator's experience. As a result, the cut waste varies in length, and cutting too much is wasteful, while not cutting enough will affect subsequent processing. This arrangement requires high operator precision and is slow, resulting in lower overall cutting efficiency. Utility Model Content
