[0029] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, illustrating only the basic structure of the present invention, and therefore only show the components relevant to the present invention.

[0030] like Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of this utility model, an automated cutting device, including...

[0031] The frame 1 is used for equipment installation. The frame 1 is provided with a waste port 11. The frame 1 can also be provided with a waste tray that connects with the waste port 11. The waste tray can collect the waste material cut off from the workpiece.

[0032] like Figure 1 As shown, the cutting mechanism 2 is used to cut the workpiece. The cutting mechanism 2 is arranged on the frame 1. The cutting mechanism 2 includes a cutting cylinder, a cutting motor and a cutting blade. The cutting cylinder is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The output end of the cutting cylinder is fixedly connected to the cutting motor. The output end of the cutting motor is connected to the cutting blade. The cutting cylinder is used to provide power for the cutting blade to move away from or closer to the workpiece. The cutting motor is used to provide power for the cutting blade to rotate, so that the cutting blade can cut the workpiece.

[0033] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, a placement seat 3 is used for placing workpieces. The placement seat 3 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The top surface of the placement seat 3 has a placement groove 31 for placing workpieces. The placement seat 3 has several spaced-apart clearance grooves 32, which divide the placement groove 31 into multiple sections. The clearance grooves 32 are used to avoid the gripper mechanism 7 from grasping the workpiece. The location of the clearance grooves 32 is the position where the gripper mechanism 7 grasps the workpiece. In this application, two clearance grooves 32 and three placement grooves 31 are arranged, and the placement grooves 31 and clearance grooves 32 are staggered. The placement groove 31 has a V-shaped structure, which allows the workpiece to be initially fixed after being placed in the placement groove 31, preventing its radial sway. The slope of the placement groove 31 is 30°.

[0034] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the material discharge channel 4 is used to guide the waste material cut off from the workpiece to the waste outlet 11. The material discharge channel 4 is fixedly connected to the placement seat 3, and the material discharge channel 4 is located on the cutting end side of the placement seat 3. The material discharge channel 4 has a material discharge surface 41 that slopes downward from top to bottom towards the waste outlet 11. Through the design of the material discharge channel 4, the cut-off workpiece waste material is guided to fall into the waste outlet 11 on the frame 1, which facilitates the collection of waste material.

[0035] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the positioning mechanism 5 is used to position the cutting position of the workpiece. The positioning mechanism 5 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The positioning mechanism 5 includes a positioning cylinder 51 and a positioning plate 52. The material discharge channel 4 is located between the positioning mechanism 5 and the placement seat 3. The positioning cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the frame 1. The output end of the positioning cylinder 51 is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 52. The positioning cylinder 51 is used to provide power for the positioning plate 52 to move away from or closer to the workpiece located in the placement groove 31. The positioning plate 52 and the workpiece located in the placement groove 31 are arranged coaxially.

[0036] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, the fixing mechanism 6 is used to fix the workpiece placed on the placement seat 3. The fixing mechanism 6 includes a fixing cylinder 61, a rotating motor 62, and a fixing block 63. The fixing cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the frame 1, and the output end of the fixing cylinder 61 is drivenly connected to the rotating motor 62. The fixing cylinder 61 provides power for the up-and-down movement of the fixing block 63, and the output end of the rotating motor 62 is drivenly connected to the fixing block 63. The rotating motor 62 provides power for the rotation of the fixing block 63, so that the fixing end of the fixing block can rotate to move closer to or away from the workpiece located in the placement slot 31.

[0037] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, the cutting device also includes a gripper mechanism 7, which is used to grip and place the workpiece. The gripper mechanism 7 includes a gripper cylinder 71 and a pneumatic gripper 72. The output end of the gripper cylinder 71 and the pneumatic gripper 72 are fixedly connected. The gripper mechanism 7 also includes a translational force component. The output end of the translational force component is connected to the gripper cylinder 72 for transmission. The translational force component is used to provide power for the planar movement of the pneumatic gripper 72. The translational force component can be a mechanical arm, a lead screw mechanism, or a cylinder, etc.

[0038] In use, the pneumatic gripper 72 grabs the workpiece to be cut and places it in the placement slot 31 of the placement seat 3. The rotating motor 62 starts, causing the fixing block 63 to rotate until the fixing end of the fixing block 63 is above the workpiece in the placement slot 31. At this time, the fixing end of the fixing block 63 is aligned with a placement slot 31 (i.e., the fixing end of the fixing block 63 is above the placement slot 31). The fixing cylinder 61 starts, causing the fixing block 63 to descend until it abuts against the workpiece and clamps and fixes the workpiece with the cooperation of the placement seat 3. Then, the positioning cylinder 51 starts, causing the positioning plate 52 to approach the workpiece and push the workpiece so that the cutting position of the workpiece is aligned with the cutting blade of the cutting mechanism 2. Then, the cutting blade rotates and approaches the workpiece until the cutting is completed. After the cutting is completed, the waste falls onto the discharge channel 4 and enters the waste inlet 11 under the guidance of the discharge surface 41, completing the collection of waste. Then, the fixing cylinder 61 starts, causing the fixing block 63 to rise. The rotating motor 62 starts, causing the fixing block 63 to rotate away from the workpiece, and the pneumatic gripper 72 grabs the workpiece.

[0039] Based on the above-described preferred embodiments of this utility model, and through the foregoing description, those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the technical concept of this utility model. The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the contents of the specification, but must be determined according to the scope of the claims.
