[0028] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with specific embodiments and the appendix, provides further details. Figure 1-2 The present invention will be described in further detail below. It should be understood that these descriptions are exemplary only and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of well-known structures and techniques are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessarily obscuring the concept of the present invention.

[0029] This utility model provides an automatic rotating mechanism, which includes the following components:

[0030] Base: Base 7 is made of sturdy material and designed to support the weight of the entire mechanism and the forces generated during operation. Base 7 has a rotating groove so that the lower half of the rotating component 1 is always rotatably positioned within the groove, ensuring smooth operation of the rotating component 1. Base 7 also has reinforcing ribs 8 to enhance its structural strength and stability.

[0031] Power Components: The power components include a servo motor 6, which serves as a power source and converts the rotational motion of the motor into the rotational motion of the rotating component through a transmission mechanism. The servo motor 6 drives a drive gear, which is connected to at least two driven gears 3 via a conveyor belt 5. These driven gears 3 mesh with the drive gear 10 of the rotating component 1 to achieve power transmission.

[0032] Rotating component: The radial cross-section of the rotating component 1 is circular, and it is designed with a notch 11 to facilitate the entry and exit of the steel pipe. The notch 11 is connected to the machining groove 12 inside the rotating component 1, which facilitates the installation and disassembly of the workpiece. The side of the rotating component 1 is provided with a clamping protrusion 2, which corresponds to the clamping assembly 9 to ensure stability during rotation.

[0033] Support component: Support component 4 is used to support the rotating component and rotates with the outer edge surface of the rotating component 1 to ensure the balance and stability of the rotating component 1 during rotation.
