Abstract
Abstract A cut section conveying device is provided for a cutting machine which includes: a conveyor frame positioned at the front side of the cutting machine; a carriage supported on the conveyor frame in a freely reciprocating manner in the longitudinal direction, approaching and withdrawing relative to the cutting position of the cutting machine; a movable vise body supported on the carriage in a manner allowing free movement in the lateral direction; a first clamp jaw and a second clamp jaw provided on the movable vise body for clamping the cut section; a reciprocating action device for moving the movable vise body in a reciprocating manner in the lateral direction relative to the carriage; and a lifting device for lifting up the clamp jaws so that the lower ends of the clamp jaws are raised to a position higher than a height of the cut section. In addition, the clamp jaws for clamping the cut section can be freely inserted into a space between a support table, which supports the cut section in the cutting position, and the cut section.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
178 words
A cut section conveying device for a cutting machine for conveying a section cut by a cutting machine, comprising: a conveyor frame provided at the front side of the cutting machine; a carriage supported on the conveyor frame in a freely reciprocating manner in a longitudinal direction, approaching and withdrawing relative to the cutting position of the cutting machine; a movable vise body, suported in a manner allowing free movement in a lateral direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction on the carriage, the movable vise body being provided with a first clamp jaw and a second clamp jaw for clamping a section cut from a workpiece by the cutting machine and able to move in the lateral direction with the clamp jaws clamping the cut section; a reciprocating action device for moving the movable vise body in a reciprocating manner in the lateral direction relative to the carriage; and means for lifting up the clamp jaws so that the lower parts of the clamp jaws are raised to a position higher than the height of the cut section.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
178 words
A cut section conveying device for a cutting machine for conveying a section cut by a cutting machine, comprising: a conveyor frame provided at the front side of the cutting machine; a carriage supported on the conveyor frame in a freely reciprocating manner in a longitudinal direction, approaching and withdrawing relative to the cutting position of the cutting machine; a movable vise body, suported in a manner allowing free movement in a lateral direction perpendicular to said longitudinal direction on the carriage, the movable vise body being provided with a first clamp jaw and a second clamp jaw for clamping a section cut from a workpiece by the cutting machine and able to move in the lateral direction with the clamp jaws clamping the cut section; a reciprocating action device for moving the movable vise body in a reciprocating manner in the lateral direction relative to the carriage; and means for lifting up the clamp jaws so that the lower parts of the clamp jaws are raised to a position higher than the height of the cut section.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
87 words
The cut section conveying device for a cutting machine of claim 1, wherein the reciprocating action device for moving the movable vise body in a reciprocating manner in the lateral direction relative to the carriage further comprises a plurality of hydraulic cylinders connected with each other in series or in parallel, and when the hydraulic cylinders are activated to the end of the stroke so that the movable vise body is positioned at the lateral center, one of the clamp jaws is positioned at a standard position.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
