[0032] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a pipe cutting machine that can automatically move to the target station in the factory.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The pipe cutting machine provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can automatically reach the specified area. The pipe cutting machine comprises a bottom box 1, a pipe cutting body 2 and a walking mechanism 3. The bottom box 1 is a cavity structure with an accommodating cavity arranged inside; the pipe cutting body 2 is arranged on the bottom box 1. Reference Figure 2 The connection diagram of the walking mechanism 3 is provided for the embodiment of the present disclosure. The walking mechanism 3 comprises a driving motor 31, a magnetic navigation sensor 32, a laser obstacle sensor 33, a storage battery 34, a driving wheel 35 and a control module 36. The driving motor 31, the storage battery 34, the magnetic navigation sensor 32, the laser obstacle sensor 33 and the control module 36 are arranged in the accommodating cavity where the bottom box 1 is located; the pipe cutting body 2, the driving motor 31, the magnetic navigation sensor 32, the laser obstacle sensor 33 and the control module 36 are connected with the storage battery 34 respectively; the control module 36 is connected with the driving motor 31, the magnetic navigation sensor 32 and the laser obstacle sensor 33 respectively; the probe of the laser obstacle sensor 33 is arranged on the side surface of the bottom box 1; the driving wheels 35 are uniformly arranged on both sides of the bottom box 1; the driving motor 31 is in transmission connection with the driving wheels 35 through the rotating shaft penetrating through the bottom box 1.

[0034] The driving motor 31 serves as a power source and is in transmission connection with the driving wheels 35 uniformly arranged on both sides of the bottom box 1 through the rotating shaft penetrating through the bottom box 1. The driving motor 31 can output different rotating speeds and torques according to the instruction of the control module 36, so as to control the walking speed and direction of the equipment.

[0035] The magnetic navigation sensor 32 can detect the magnetic field signal around, compare with the preset navigation path magnetic field, and determine the position and walking direction of the equipment. The magnetic navigation sensor 32 has the characteristics of high precision and high reliability, and can ensure that the equipment walks accurately according to the preset path.

[0036] The laser obstacle sensor 33 detects obstacles around the device by emitting and receiving laser beams. When the laser beam encounters an obstacle, it is reflected back, and the laser obstacle sensor 33 calculates the distance and position of the obstacle based on the time and intensity of the reflected signal. The laser obstacle sensor 33 has the characteristics of fast response speed and high detection accuracy, which can timely discover obstacles around the device and avoid collisions between the device and obstacles.

[0037] The battery 34 provides power for the pipe cutting body 2, the driving motor 31, the magnetic navigation sensor 32, the laser obstacle sensor 33, and the control module 36.

[0038] The control module 36 is the core component of the walking mechanism 3, which includes a microprocessor, a memory, and a communication module. The microprocessor is responsible for receiving and processing signals from the magnetic navigation sensor 32, the laser obstacle sensor 33, and other components, and controlling the operation of the driving motor 31 according to the preset program. The memory is used to store the operating parameters and programs of the device, and the communication module is used for communication with external devices to realize remote control and data transmission.

The pipe cutting machine that automatically reaches the designated area walks according to the received instructions, avoids pedestrians and obstacles through the laser obstacle sensor 33, and finally reaches the designated work station for workers to use. The pipe cutting machine has the ability to move autonomously, like a food delivery robot, and can freely shuttle between different work areas. When the pipe cutting machine is needed on the factory work station, through the calling system, the cutting machine can quickly respond and move to the designated position, greatly improving the convenience and production efficiency of the work.

[0040] In some optional embodiments, the pipe cutting machine further includes a display screen connected with the control module 36, for displaying the working status and parameters of the device.

[0044] In some optional embodiments, the pipe cutting machine further comprises an alarm device connected with the control module 36.

[0045] It should be understood that the alarm device plays an important role when the equipment fails or abnormal situations occur. When the control module 36 detects that a component of the equipment fails, the battery is low, encounters an obstacle that cannot be avoided, and other abnormal situations, the alarm device will trigger an alarm signal, such as an audible and visual alarm. This can timely remind the operator to take appropriate measures to avoid further expansion of the fault, and ensure the safe operation of the equipment and the smooth progress of the cutting work.

[0046] In some optional embodiments, the pipe cutting machine further comprises an adjusting mechanism for adjusting the cutting angle.

[0047] It should be understood that the track ensures the stability and accuracy of the pipe cutting machine. The driving wheel 35 runs on the track, which can avoid the equipment from deviating from the path, shaking, and other situations during walking, ensuring that the equipment can accurately reach the designated area for pipe cutting according to the preset route. In addition, the track can also bear the weight of the equipment, reducing the pressure and wear on the ground and prolonging the service life of the equipment.
