A second connecting frame 222 is provided at both ends of the driven roller 223, and each second connecting frame 222 is fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting frame 221. Each second connecting frame 222 has a second sliding groove 2221, and the inner ring of the second sliding groove 2221 is slidably connected to the outer periphery of one end of the driven roller 223. The first traction unit 22 also includes a threaded rod 224, a ball bearing 225, and a handwheel 226. The outer periphery of the threaded rod 224 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 2211, and one end of the threaded rod 224 is fixed. The threaded rod 224 is connected to the middle of one side of the handwheel 226. The other end of the threaded rod 224 is rotatably connected to the outer periphery of the ball bearing 225. The inner ring of the ball bearing 225 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of one end of the driven roller 223.

[0025] The first traction unit 22 also includes an active roller 227. The outer ends of the active roller 227 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of both sides of the mounting frame 21. The output end of the first motor 24 can drive the active roller 227 to rotate. The outer periphery of the active roller 227 and the driven roller 223 do not contact each other and the distance is adjustable. The outer periphery of the active roller 227 is an elastic rubber structure to prevent the driven roller 223 from damaging the surface of the straw during traction and transportation, thereby improving the quality of the straw.

[0026] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the cutting assembly 3 includes a housing 31, a second motor 32, a main shaft 33, and a cutting unit 34.

One end of the main shaft 33 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 32, and the second motor 32 is fixedly installed on one side of the housing 31. The cutting unit 34 is disposed inside the housing 31, and the inner ring of the cutting unit 34 is fitted around the outer edge of the main shaft 33. The cutting unit 34 and the output shaft of the second motor 32 form a synchronous rotation structure through the main shaft 33. The axis of the main shaft 33 is at the same horizontal height as the axis of the guide tube 212. The second motor 32 is existing technology, model 110ST-M02025; the lower end face of the outer shell 31 is inclined, and a baffle 311 is rotatably installed on one side of the outer shell 31. A groove 312 is provided on one side of the baffle 311, and the inner ring of the groove 312 is located on the outer periphery of one end of the traction component 2. By setting the inclined lower end face, the straw is prevented from falling into the outer shell 31 and needing to be picked up manually, reducing manual labor. The baffle 311 prevents the straw from splashing and falling to the ground during the cutting process, causing pollution and reducing material waste. The hinged baffle 311 facilitates the adjustment and maintenance of the cutting unit 34. The baffle 311 is made of transparent acrylic material, which allows real-time observation of the straw cutting process and the working status of the cutting unit 34.

[0027] The cutting unit 34 includes a disc 341, a mounting block 342, a positioning sleeve 343, a first cutter 344, and a second cutter 345. The disc 341 has a second circular hole 346 in the middle, and the inner ring of the second circular hole 346 is slidably sleeved on the outer side of the main shaft 33. The disc 341 has a first mounting groove 347 on one side, and the first cutter 344 is fixedly installed in the first mounting groove 347 by a first fixing screw. The disc 341 has a second mounting groove 348 on the other side. The mounting surface of the second mounting groove 348 is inclined, and the second cutter 345 is installed in the second mounting groove 348. By setting the second mounting groove 348 with an inclined mounting surface, the straw can be cut at an angle, reducing the need for secondary cutting of the straw, reducing equipment investment, improving work efficiency, reducing manual labor, and lowering production costs.

[0028] The mounting block 342 matches the second mounting groove 348, and one side of the mounting block 342 abuts against one side of the second cutter 345. The mounting block 342 is fixedly connected to the second mounting groove 348 by fixing screws. The mounting block 342 is used to limit the relative position of the second cutter 345 in the second mounting groove 348. By setting the mounting block 342 to press and install the second cutter 345, and the second cutter 345 is set at an angle for cutting the pointed end of the straw, the mounting block 342 improves the stability of the installation of the second cutter 345, reduces safety hazards, improves the cutting stability, and improves product quality.

[0029] There are two positioning sleeves 343, which are parallel to each other and facing each other at both ends of the disc 341. The inner ring of each positioning sleeve 343 is respectively fitted onto the outer periphery of the main shaft 33, and each positioning sleeve 343 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the main shaft 33 by a second fixing screw. The positioning sleeves 343 are used to limit the relative position of the disc 341 on the main shaft 33. By setting two positioning sleeves 343 that can be fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the main shaft 33, the position of the disc 341 can be adjusted, and the cutting length of the straw can be adjusted to adapt the device to the cutting of straws of different specifications, thereby improving the utilization rate of the device, reducing equipment investment, and reducing production costs.

[0030] The working process of a straw length cutting device: The working process of the straw length cutting device is as follows: The straw to be cut first passes through the guide tube 212 and the first circular hole 211 on one side of the mounting frame 21, and enters the traction assembly 2 composed of the first traction unit 22 and the second traction unit 23. After the first motor 24 starts, it drives the active roller 227 of the first traction unit 22 to rotate synchronously with the second traction unit 23 through the synchronous belt. At the same time, the driven roller 223, under the adjustment of the threaded rod 224, the handwheel 226 and the ball bearing 225, fits against the straw, and cooperates with the active roller 227 to stably pull the straw to a linear displacement until one end of the straw passes through the first circular hole 211, the guide tube 212 and the outer shell 31 of the cutting assembly 3 on the other side of the mounting frame 21. The side baffle 311 has a groove 312; then the second motor 32 starts, driving the main shaft 33 and the cutting unit 34, which is sleeved on the main shaft 33 and whose position is limited by the positioning sleeve 343, to rotate. The first cutter 344 on the disc 341 and the second cutter 345, which is fixed in the second mounting groove 348 by the mounting block 342, cut the straw to a fixed length. The first cutter 344 is used to cut one end of the straw with a flat head, and the second cutter 345 is used to cut one end of the straw with a pointed head. The first cutter 344 and the second cutter 345 work alternately. The cut straw section falls along the lower slope of the outer shell 31 into the collection box 4 located on one side of the base 1 below the cutting assembly 3, completing one straw cutting and collection process.
