[0014] Optionally, the rear rotating component includes a second motor, a second gear, and a second gear ring. The second motor is mounted on the second support block, the second gear is keyed to the output shaft of the second motor, and the second gear ring is mounted on the outer wall of the second chuck block and meshes with the second gear.

The second support block drives the workpiece to be cut to move through the second chuck block.
[0020] In summary, this application includes the following beneficial technical effects:
[0021] 1. Existing cutting machines have no problem cutting profiles, but when cutting pipes or rods, the cutting effect is not good because the outer surface of the pipes or rods is circumferential. This application uses a first cylinder and a second cylinder to drive a first clamping block and a second clamping block respectively to fix the pipes or rods, and the rotation of the first chuck block and the second chuck block together drives the pipes or rods to rotate, thereby realizing the cutting of pipes or rods by the cutting machine and improving the applicability of the cutting machine.
[0022] 2. Existing cutting machines have rollers on the worktable to facilitate manual movement of the material to be cut. However, manual movement increases labor costs and is also inherently dangerous. This application addresses this by starting a third motor, which drives a third gear to rotate. The third gear meshes with a rack, which in turn drives a second support block to slide on a slide rail via a slider. The second support block then moves the material to be cut via a second chuck block, thus achieving automatic feeding of the material. This improves the automation level of the cutting machine, reduces labor costs, and enhances operational safety.
[0023] 3. Compared with traditional manually adjustable mechanical chucks, this application achieves automatic clamping of the material to be cut by means of cylinders and clamping blocks, thereby further improving the automation level of the cutting machine. Furthermore, since the clamping of the cylinder is more stable, the probability of the material to be cut becoming loose is reduced.
[0024] 4. The rack and pinion feeding method makes the feeding accuracy higher, and the cut materials are more compliant. At the same time, the combination of gears and racks is easier to clean, cheaper to manufacture, and has a lower replacement cost. Attached Figure Description
