[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the automatic cutting system 100 of the present application. The automatic cutting system 100 comprises a clamping system 110, a cutting device 120, and a blanking device 130. The clamping system 110 is used to clamp and control the movement of the product to be cut along the cutting direction; the cutting device 120 is used to cut the product to be cut sent by the clamping system 110, and the cutting device 120 comprises at least one set of abutting components, which are used to fix the product to be cut when the cutting device 120 cuts; the blanking device 130 is used to transport the product cut by the cutting device 120.

[0029] In the present application, mainly applied in the field of cutting equipment, the automatic cutting system 100 is used to realize the automatic feeding, cutting and discharging of the to-be-cut products by using the clamping system 110, the cutting device 120 and the discharging device 130, so as to reduce the labor intensity of the operator and improve the production efficiency. And at least one set of abutting assembly is arranged in the cutting device 120, and each set of abutting assembly is used to fix the to-be-cut product when the cutting device 120 cuts, so as to improve the cutting quality and stability of the to-be-cut product. Wherein, the to-be-cut product can be a core rod, a steel material, a wood material and the like, which is not limited here.

[0030] In some embodiments, the clamping system 110, the cutting device 120 and the discharging device 130 can be used to form a complete cutting production line. The clamping system 110 is located upstream of the cutting device 120, and the discharging device 130 is located downstream of the cutting device 120. A mechanical arm (not shown in the figure) is used to transfer the to-be-cut product to the clamping system 110, the clamping system 110 is used to move the to-be-cut product to the cutting device 120 for cutting, and the discharging device 130 is used to transport the cut product.

[0031] Continuing to refer to Figure 1 The clamping system 110 includes a main frame 111, a clamping device 112, a zero measurement device 113 and a driving device (not shown in the figure). The main frame 111 is relatively long, which is used to clamp to-be-cut products of different lengths, expands the application range of the equipment, and a corresponding guide rail is also arranged on the main frame 111, so that the clamping device 112 can move on the guide rail. The clamping device 112 is in sliding connection with the main frame 111, which is used to clamp the to-be-cut product, so that the to-be-cut product can also slide on the main frame 111. The driving device is arranged on the main frame 111, which is used to drive the clamping device 112 to move towards the cutting device 120, wherein the driving device can be a motor or the like. The zero measurement device 113 is arranged on one end of the main frame 111 close to the cutting device 120, which is used to determine the initial position of the to-be-cut product before entering the cutting device 120.

[0032] In some embodiments, a conveying assembly can be arranged on the main frame 111, which is used to assist in supporting and conveying the to-be-cut product. The clamping device 112 cooperates with the conveying assembly to move the to-be-cut product, that is, part of the to-be-cut product is placed on the conveying assembly. When the clamping device 112 clamps the to-be-cut product, the driving device drives the clamping device 112 and the conveying assembly to move synchronously in the cutting direction, so that the movement of the to-be-cut product is more stable. It can be understood that the conveying assembly can be a conveyor belt, a conveying roller or the like, which is not limited here.

[0033] In some embodiments, the zero position measuring device 113 can be an infrared sensor for detecting the product to be cut and recording the first detected position of the product to be cut as the initial position. The infrared sensor can also be used to record the total length of the product to be cut when the clamping device 112 clamps the product to be cut and continues to move towards the cutting device 120. When the infrared sensor detects that the total length is equal to the sum of the length of the product to be cut and the distance from the infrared sensor to the cutting position in the cutting device 120, the automatic cutting system 100 controls the driving device to stop running so as to facilitate the cutting of the cutting device 120. It can be understood that the zero position measuring device 113 can be a distance detecting device, etc. in addition to the infrared sensor, which is not specifically limited here.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the clamping device 112 of the present application. The clamping device 112 includes a clamping support 1121, a clamping assembly 1122, and a driving assembly 1123. The clamping support 1121 is in sliding connection with the main body frame 111. Specifically, the clamping support 1121 can be in sliding connection with the guide rail on the main body frame 111, so that the clamping device 112 can move relative to the main body frame 111. The clamping assembly 1122 is arranged on the clamping support 1121 and is used for clamping the product to be cut. The driving assembly 1123 is arranged on the clamping support 1121 and is used for driving the clamping assembly 1122 to clamp the product to be cut. The driving assembly 1123 can be a gas cylinder, a motor, etc. and is not specifically limited here.

[0035] In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 1122 includes a first clamping plate 11221 and a second clamping plate 11222, and the driving assembly 1123 includes a first driving member 11231 and a second driving member 11232. The clamping device 112 further includes a first guide rail 1124 and a second guide rail 1125. The first clamping plate 11221 is connected with the first guide rail 1124 through a first sliding block 1126, and the first sliding block 1126 is connected with the first driving member 11231. The second clamping plate 11222 is connected with the second guide rail 1125 through a second sliding block (not shown in the figure), and the second sliding block is connected with the second driving member 11232.

[0036] Specifically, the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 can be used to clamp the product to be cut, so as to clamp the product to be cut with different diameters, wherein the first clamping plate 11221 can be located above the second clamping plate 11222. And in the cutting forward direction, the length of the first clamping plate 11221 is greater than the length of the second clamping plate 11222, so that the second clamping plate 11222 can abut against the end of the product to be cut away from the cutting device 120, and the first clamping plate 11221 can abut against the top of the product to be cut, so that the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 cooperate to clamp the product to be cut. At this time, the first guide rail 1124 is arranged on one side of the clamping support 1121, the second guide rail 1125 is arranged on the other side of the clamping support 1121, and a groove is arranged on the clamping support 1121, so that the second clamping plate 11222 passes through the groove and moves to the same side of the clamping support 1121 as the first clamping plate 11221, or so that the first clamping plate 11221 passes through the groove and moves to the same side of the clamping support 1121 as the second clamping plate 11222. Wherein, when the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 clamp the product to be cut, the first driving member 11231 and the second driving member 11232 can be driven synchronously, or the first driving member 11231 and the second driving member 11232 can be driven separately.

[0037] Regarding the first sliding block 1126 connected with the first clamping plate 11221, it can include a driving sliding block and a clamping sliding block, the driving sliding block is connected with the output end of the first driving member 11231, the clamping sliding block is fixedly connected with the first clamping plate 11221, the driving sliding block and the clamping sliding block are connected through a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected with the driving sliding block, the other end of the connecting rod is slidingly connected with the clamping sliding block, and an elastic member is arranged on the outer periphery of the connecting rod, both ends of the elastic member can be elastically abutted against the driving sliding block and the clamping sliding block respectively, and the elastic member is used to buffer during the movement of the first clamping plate 11221, thereby prolonging the service life of the mechanism. The second sliding block has the same mechanism as the first sliding block 1126, and will not be described here. In addition, the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 can also be used to clamp the product to be cut up and down, or the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 can be used to clamp the product to be cut left and right in the horizontal plane. For the specific arrangement of the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222, please refer to the above-mentioned manner, which will not be described here.

[0038] In some embodiments, in order to avoid damaging the product to be cut during clamping, a flexible clamping piece can be arranged on the side of the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 facing the product to be cut. The flexible clamping piece can be made of nylon, silica gel or the like, and in order to better clamp the product to be cut, the contact surface of the flexible clamping piece can be arranged as a surface conforming to the shape of the product to be cut, for example, if the product to be cut is rectangular, the contact surface of the flexible clamping piece is a flat plane; if the product to be cut is circular or elliptical, the contact surface of the flexible clamping piece can be arranged as a surface with a certain curvature.

[0039] In some embodiments, the end of the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 close to the cutting device 120 can be provided with a plurality of connecting holes for connecting the adjusting plate by bolts or other fasteners to adjust the length of the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 in the cutting direction, thereby adjusting the distance between the ends of the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 for clamping the product to be cut, so that they can clamp products to be cut of different length specifications, expanding the application range of the automatic cutting system 100.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to avoid the distance between the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 being too small during clamping, thereby damaging the product to be cut, a limiting assembly can also be arranged in the clamping assembly 1122. The limiting assembly can include a limiting guide rail 1127, a limiting block 1128 and a limiting ring 1129. The limiting guide rail 1127 is arranged on the clamping support 1121; one end of the limiting block 1128 is in sliding connection with the limiting guide rail 1127, and the other end of the limiting block 1128 is in fixed connection with the first sliding block 1126; the limiting ring 1129 is arranged on the limiting guide rail 1127 for limiting the movement range of the limiting block 1128 on the limiting guide rail 1127, please continue to refer to Figure 2 The limiting ring 1129 can be arranged below the limiting block 1128. Among them, the limiting ring 1129 is adjustable, which can be adjusted according to different production needs to adjust the lowest movement position of the first clamping plate 11221, and when the position of the limiting ring 1129 is determined, the limiting ring 1129 can be fixed on the limiting guide rail 1127.

[0041] Please continue to refer to Figure 2When the limiting guide rail 1127 is vertically arranged and the position of the limiting ring 1129 is determined, the limiting block 1128 can only move along the limiting guide rail 1127 within the range above the limiting ring 1129, and the first sliding block 1126 is fixed with the limiting block 1128, so when the limiting block 1128 moves to abut against the limiting ring 1129 and cannot continue to move downward, the first clamping plate 11221 connected with the first sliding block 1126 also cannot continue to move downward, thereby limiting the movement range of the first clamping plate 11221.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the cutting device 120. The cutting device 120 comprises a cutting platform 121, a cutting machine 122, a fixed plate 123, a first abutting assembly 124 and a second abutting assembly 125. The cutting machine 122 is arranged on the cutting platform 121; the fixed plate 123 is connected with the cutting platform 121, and the fixed plate 123 is located on one side of the cutting machine 122; the first abutting assembly 124 is arranged on the fixed plate 123 and is used for abutting against a rear segment of the product to be cut along the cutting advancing direction; and the second abutting assembly 125 is arranged on the fixed plate 123 and is used for abutting against a front segment of the product to be cut along the cutting advancing direction. The fixed plate 123 can be connected with the cutting platform 121 through a guide column.

[0043] The front segment of the product to be cut abutted against by the second abutting assembly 125 along the cutting advancing direction is a segment of the product to be cut which needs to be cut according to the cutting length, and the rear segment of the product to be cut abutted against by the first abutting assembly 124 along the cutting advancing direction is a segment of the product to be cut which needs to be reserved after cutting for the next cutting operation. The cutting machine 122 is located between the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125 and is used for cutting the product to be cut abutted against by the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125. After cutting is completed, the control driving device continues to drive the clamping assembly 1122 to move towards the cutting device 120, so as to transport the front segment of the product abutted against by the second abutting assembly 125 to the discharging device 130 before the next cutting starts.

[0044] In some embodiments, the cutting machine 122 adopts an explosion-proof motor and double V-shaped belt to drive a cutting saw blade to perform cutting operation, which can meet the cutting of products to be cut with different diameters and effectively prevent overload in the middle to ensure cutting stability. Moreover, the explosion-proof motor can also match corresponding cutting rotation speed and cutting feed speed according to different specifications of the product to be cut, so as to ensure optimal cutting quality and highest efficiency. The position of the cutting saw blade for cutting the product to be cut can be a specified cutting position.

[0045] In some embodiments, each group of abutting assembly comprises a driving member and an abutting member arranged in at least one direction, the driving member being used to drive the abutting member to abut the product to be cut.

[0046] Specifically, each group of abutting assembly comprises a driving member and an abutting member arranged in a first direction, and a driving member and an abutting member arranged in a second direction, wherein the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0047] In some embodiments, the cutting device 120 further comprises an adjusting assembly 126 arranged at the inlet of the cutting device 120; the adjusting assembly 126 comprises an abutting plate 1261, a guide plate 1262 and a base 1263, the abutting plate 1261 and the base 1263 are fixedly arranged on the fixed plate 123, one end of the guide plate 1262 is movably connected with the base 1263, the other end of the guide plate 1262 extends towards the abutting plate 1261, the abutting plate 1261 is used to cooperate with the abutting assembly to abut the product to be cut, and the guide plate 1262 is used to guide the product to be cut to the designated cutting position when the product to be cut enters the cutting device 120.

[0048] In this embodiment, after the product to be cut enters the cutting device 120, the guide plate 1262 generates a horizontal force to push the product to be cut towards the abutting plate 1261, so that the product to be cut is close to the abutting plate 1261, and the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 clamp the product to be cut from top to bottom, therefore, the force generated by the guide plate 1262 on the product to be cut and the clamping force generated by the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 on the product to be cut are not in the same direction, which can avoid the interference between the force generated by the guide plate 1262 on the product to be cut and the clamping force generated by the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 on the product to be cut, and the phenomenon that the product to be cut is not clamped stably or even falls from the clamping device 112.

[0049] Please continue to refer to Figure 3, the first abutting assembly 124 comprises a first horizontal driving member and a first horizontal abutting member arranged along a horizontal direction, and a first vertical driving member and a first vertical abutting member arranged along a vertical direction. When the product to be cut reaches the specified cutting position, the first horizontal driving member drives the first horizontal abutting member to move along the horizontal direction to the product to be cut, so that the first horizontal abutting member abuts against the next segment of the product to be cut. The first horizontal driving member continues to output power so that the product to be cut abuts against the abutting plate 1261. Then, the first horizontal driving member is controlled to increase the output power to a first preset value, so that it can be determined that the first horizontal abutting member and the abutting plate 1261 have fixed the product to be cut in the horizontal direction. The power output by the first horizontal driving member is kept at the first preset value until the cutting is completed. At this time, the first vertical driving member drives the first vertical abutting member to move downward to abut against the product to be cut, and the first vertical driving member is controlled to continuously output power to a second preset value, so that it can be determined that the first vertical abutting member and the fixing plate 123 have fixed the product to be cut in the vertical direction.

[0050] In addition, the abutting plate 1261 is provided with an opening, and the fixing plate 123 is provided with a gap that is in communication with the opening of the abutting plate 1261, so as to facilitate the cutting saw blade in the cutting machine 122 to pass through to cut the product to be cut.

[0051] Similarly, the second abutting assembly 125 also comprises a second horizontal driving member and a second horizontal abutting member arranged along a horizontal direction, and a second vertical driving member and a second vertical abutting member arranged along a vertical direction. The second horizontal abutting member and the second vertical abutting member abut against the previous segment of the product to be cut. The specific abutting manner can refer to the abutting manner of the next segment of the product to be cut by the first abutting assembly 124, which will not be described here.

[0052] It can be understood that the driving members and the abutting members in the same direction of the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125 can simultaneously abut and move, or sequentially abut and move. In addition, the driving members in each abutting assembly can be power sources such as motors and air cylinders, which will not be specifically limited here.

[0053] In other embodiments, each group of abutting assemblies can comprise driving members and abutting members arranged along a first direction, driving members and abutting members arranged along a second direction, and driving members and abutting members arranged along a third direction. The first direction and the third direction are perpendicular to the second direction, and the first direction and the third direction are opposite directions. Specifically, the first direction is a horizontal right direction, the second direction is a vertical direction, and the third direction is a horizontal left direction. When the product to be cut is abutted by each group of abutting assemblies, the driving members and the abutting members arranged along the first direction and the driving members and the abutting members arranged along the third direction are simultaneously controlled to move towards each other, so that they cooperate to abut and fix the product to be cut from left to right.

[0054] In some embodiments, the cutting device 120 further comprises a collection assembly 127 arranged below the fixed plate 123 for collecting the debris generated by the cutting device 120 when cutting the product to be cut. Specifically, the collection assembly 127 can be an accordion shield arranged on the cutting platform 121 and below the cutting movement path of the cutting saw blade of the cutting machine 122 to avoid the debris generated when cutting the product to be cut from falling into the explosion-proof motor and double V-belt of the cutting machine 122, thereby affecting the operation of the cutting machine 122.

[0055] In addition, in order to meet the environmental protection requirements, a dust removal device 140 can be arranged in the automatic cutting system 100. The dust removal device 140 is connected with the cutting device 120 through a pipeline to suck the debris and dust generated by the cutting device 120 during cutting into the dust removal device 140, so as to timely process the debris and dust generated during cutting and avoid the accumulation of debris and dust affecting the cutting operation.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 4 is a structural schematic view of an embodiment of the feeding device 130. The feeding device 130 comprises a feeding main body 131, a roller assembly 132, a detection assembly 133, a storage assembly 134 and a pushing assembly 135. The roller assembly 132 is arranged on the feeding main body 131 and is used for transporting the cut product. The detection assembly 133 is arranged on one side of the roller assembly 132 and is used for detecting whether there is a cut product on the roller assembly 132. The storage assembly 134 is arranged on the other side of the roller assembly 132 and is used for storing the cut product. The pushing assembly 135 is arranged on one side of the roller assembly 132 and is used for pushing the cut product into the storage assembly 134 in response to the detection assembly 133 detecting the cut product.

[0057] In some embodiments, a driving motor is further arranged on the feeding main body 131 to control the rolling of the roller assembly 132, so that the cut product can be transported in the cutting forward direction. The detection assembly 133 and the pushing assembly 135 can be located on the same side of the feeding main body 131, and the storage assembly 134 can be located on the other side of the feeding main body 131. When the detection assembly 133 detects the cut product on the roller assembly 132, a signal is immediately sent to the pushing assembly 135, so that the pushing assembly 135 can quickly push the cut product into the storage assembly 134, thereby avoiding the accumulation of the cut product on the roller assembly 132. The storage assembly 134 is provided with a slope on the side close to the roller assembly 132, so as to facilitate the cut product to gradually move into the storage assembly 134 along the slope, thereby avoiding the cut product from being directly dropped and damaged.

[0058] In addition, in order to ensure the safety of the cutting process, a safety door is arranged on the entire automatic cutting system 100 (the safety door is in a fully closed state during the cutting process), and safety grating is arranged in the clamping system 110 and the blanking device 130 to improve the safety hidden danger of the traditional cutting operation mode.

[0059] In a specific application scenario, the automatic cutting system 100 can be used to cut the mandrel. First, the specifications of the mandrel to be cut and the cutting length information are input in the control panel of the automatic cutting system 100 and are confirmed. After receiving the confirmation signal, the automatic cutting system 100 controls the robot arm to clamp the mandrel to be cut and places it on the conveying assembly of the main frame 111, and the driving device drives the clamping device 112 to move towards the mandrel to be cut, so that the second clamping plate 11222 in the clamping device 112 abuts against the end of the mandrel to be cut. Then the first driving part 11231 is controlled to drive the first clamping plate 11221 to move downward, so that the first clamping plate 11221 abuts against the top of the mandrel to be cut, so as to clamp the mandrel to be cut together with the second clamping plate 11222.

[0060] After the mandrel to be cut is clamped, the driving device drives the clamping assembly 1122 to move together with the mandrel to be cut clamped thereby and the conveying assembly towards the cutting device 120. When the mandrel to be cut passes through the zero position measuring device 113 for the first time, the zero position measuring device 113 records the initial position thereof and calculates whether the total length of the mandrel to be cut entering the cutting device 120 is equal to the sum of the length of the mandrel to be cut and the distance between the zero position measuring device 113 and the specified cutting position. If not, the driving device continues to drive the clamping assembly 1122 to move towards the cutting device 120; if yes, the driving device is controlled to pause the movement of the clamping assembly 1122.

[0061] After the mandrel to be cut enters the cutting device 120, the guide plate 1262 arranged at the inlet of the cutting device 120 is used to move the mandrel to be cut towards the abutment plate 1261, so as to guide the mandrel to be cut to the specified cutting position. After the clamping assembly 1122 stops moving, the first abutment assembly 124 and the second abutment assembly 125 are used to limit the mandrel to be cut, so as to stabilize the cutting. The second abutment assembly 125 abuts against the part of the mandrel to be cut which needs to be cut according to the cutting length, and the first abutment assembly 124 abuts against the remaining part of the mandrel to be cut.

[0062] After the first abutment assembly 124 and the second abutment assembly 125 abut against and fix the mandrel to be cut, the cutting machine 122 is controlled to move towards the mandrel to be cut, passes through the opening of the abutment plate 1261 and the gap of the fixing plate 123, and cuts the position of the mandrel to be cut between the first abutment assembly 124 and the second abutment assembly 125, so as to completely cut the part of the mandrel abutted by the second abutment assembly 125 from the original mandrel.

[0063] After the cutting is completed, the cutting machine 122, the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125 are retracted to the original position. The driving device is controlled to continue driving the clamping assembly 1122 to move towards the cutting device 120, so as to push the cut core rod into the discharging device 130, and prepare to start the next cutting.

[0064] After the discharging device 130 receives the cut core rod, the roller assembly 132 is used to transport the cut core rod. After the detection assembly 133 detects that the roller assembly 132 has the cut core rod, a signal is sent to the pushing assembly 135, so that the pushing assembly 135 quickly pushes the cut core rod into the storage assembly 134. In this way, the cutting of the to-be-cut core rod is completed once, and the subsequent cutting of the to-be-cut core rod can be continued, so that the entire to-be-cut core rod is cut. If the length of the remaining part of the last to-be-cut core rod is less than the cutting length, the part of the core rod is abandoned, and another to-be-cut core rod is clamped by the mechanical arm to start cutting again.

[0065] Please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 5 is a flowchart of an embodiment of the automatic cutting method of the present application. The method can be implemented based on the automatic cutting system 100 described above, and specifically includes the following steps:

[0066] Step S510: In response to the feeding signal, the clamping system is used to clamp the to-be-cut product, and the to-be-cut product is controlled to move towards the cutting device along the cutting direction.

[0067] In some embodiments, the clamping system 110 includes the clamping device 112, the driving device and the zero position measuring device 113. The raw material detection assembly can be arranged on the main frame 111, and the raw material detection assembly is used to detect whether the to-be-cut product is placed on the main frame 111. If the raw material detection assembly detects that the to-be-cut product is placed on the main frame 111, the feeding signal is generated. At this time, the driving device drives the clamping device 112 to move towards the to-be-cut product, so that the second clamping plate 11222 abuts against the end of the to-be-cut product. Then, the first driving part 11231 is controlled to drive the first clamping plate 11221 to move downwards, so that the first clamping plate 11221 abuts against the top of the to-be-cut product, so as to clamp the to-be-cut core rod together with the second clamping plate 11222. Then, the driving device is used to drive the clamping device 112 to move towards the cutting device 120, so as to drive the to-be-cut product to move towards the cutting device 120, and the zero position measuring device 113 is used to detect the initial position before the to-be-cut product enters the cutting device 120. The zero position measuring device 113 can also be used to record the total length of the to-be-cut product entering the cutting device 120.

[0068] In addition, before driving the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 to move relative to each other, the position of the limiting ring 1129 on the limiting guide rail 1127 in the clamping device 112 can be adjusted to limit the movement range of the first clamping plate 11221 to conform to the specifications of the product to be cut this time. At the same time, it can also avoid that when the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 move relative to each other, the distance between the first clamping plate 11221 and the second clamping plate 11222 is less than the diameter or outer diameter of the product to be cut, thereby causing serious extrusion or damage to the product to be cut.

[0069] Step S520: detecting that the product to be cut reaches the specified cutting position, abutting the product to be cut by using at least one abutting assembly in the cutting device, and cutting the product to be cut.

[0070] In some embodiments, the cutting device 120 includes a cutting machine 122, a first abutting assembly 124, a second abutting assembly 125, and an adjusting assembly 126. In order to enable the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125 to accurately abut the product to be cut, the product to be cut can be guided towards the abutting plate 1261 in the adjusting assembly 126 by using the guide plate 1262 in the adjusting assembly 126, so as to guide the product to be cut towards the specified cutting position, wherein the adjusting assembly 126 is arranged at the feeding port of the cutting device 120. In response to detecting that the distance moved by the product to be cut since passing through the initial position is equal to the sum of the length to be cut of the product to be cut and the distance between the zero position measuring device 113 and the specified cutting position, the product to be cut is controlled to stop moving, and the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125 are controlled to abut the rear segment and the front segment of the product to be cut, respectively. Then, the product to be cut located between the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125 is cut by using the cutting machine 122, to obtain the cut product. After the cutting is completed, the first abutting assembly 124 and the second abutting assembly 125 are controlled to move away from the product to be cut, and the product to be cut is controlled to continue moving in the cutting advancement direction, so as to push the cut product into the discharging device 130.

[0071] Step S530: transferring the cut product to the discharging device, and transporting the cut product by using the discharging device.

[0072] In some embodiments, the discharging device 130 includes a roller assembly 132, a detection assembly 133, a storage assembly 134, and a pushing assembly 135. After the cut product enters the discharging device 130, the cut product is transported by the roller assembly 132 in the discharging device 130, and after the detection assembly 133 detects that the cut product exists on the roller assembly 132, the pushing assembly 135 can be driven to push the cut product into the storage assembly 134.

[0073] In addition, a detection device and a prompting device can be arranged at the storage assembly 134, the detection device is used to detect whether the product stored in the storage assembly 134 is full or about to overflow, and if the detection device detects that the product stored in the storage assembly 134 is full or about to overflow, an overflow signal is sent to the prompting device; the prompting device is used to prompt the operator based on the signal sent by the detection device, and the prompting manner can be acoustic, optical or the like, which is not limited here.

[0074] In the present application, the clamping device, the zero measurement device and the driving device cooperate with each other to meet the function of the automatic cutting system for automatically and accurately feeding the product to be cut; at the same time, at least one abutting assembly in the cutting device can position and cut products of different specifications, thereby ensuring the cutting length precision requirement; in addition, the storage assembly and the pushing assembly in the unloading device can collect products of the required length, meet the automatic unloading function, and thus automatically complete the entire cutting process.
