[0025] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the pushing mechanism 1 includes a push rod 11 and a push rod drive member 12. The push rod 11 is hollow inside and connected to an air source. The outer side of the push rod 11 has a plurality of air blowing holes 13 that communicate with its interior. The push rod drive member 12 is connected to the push rod 11 in a driving connection so that the push rod 11 extends into the pipe 2 in a first direction to remove the debris and cutting fluid inside the pipe 2.
[0026] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the end of the push rod 11 that extends into the tube 2 is tapered.
[0027] Preferably, the push rod 11 moves longitudinally, and the push rod 11 removes the debris and cutting fluid inside the pipe fitting 2. The debris and cutting fluid are easy to collect due to their own weight. The push rod 11 cleans inside the pipe fitting 2, preventing debris and cutting fluid from splashing, and there is no safety risk.
[0028] Preferably, the push rod drive component 12 is one of the same functional structures such as a pneumatic cylinder, an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a ball screw.
[0029] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment, the automated pipe trimming device further includes a sealing mechanism 3, which includes a sealing rod 31. The sealing rod 31 extends into the side pipe 21 of the tee fitting 2, and the end of the sealing rod 31 reaches the connection between the side pipe and the main pipe 22 of the tee fitting 2. It is used to push the debris in the side pipe into the main pipe 22 of the tee fitting 2, and to maintain the sealing of the side pipe 21 when the push rod 11 removes the debris and cutting fluid in the main pipe 22.
[0030] This utility model addresses the T-joint fitting 2. In order to prevent debris and cutting fluid from splashing out from the side pipe 21 and to improve cleaning efficiency, the sealing rod 31 pushes the debris in the side pipe 21 into the main pipe 22, and then the push rod 11 removes the debris and cutting fluid from the main pipe 22 together. The sealing rod 31 does not extend into the main pipe 22 to avoid interference between the sealing rod 31 and the push rod 11.
[0031] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation methods and protection scope of the present invention.
[0032] Based on the above, this utility model also has the following embodiments:

At this time, the mold cover 42 positions the fitting 2 on the mold base 41 and seals the side tube 21. Then, the transfer drive 53 drives the transfer seat 52, the positioning mold 4 and the fitting 2 to rotate together so that the main tube 22 of the fitting 2 is directly opposite the push rod 11.
