What is between stomach and small intestine?

The opening between the stomach and the small intestine is called the Pyloric Sphincter- it is a ring of muscle that contracts when the stomach is full, to seal off the opening to the small intestine whilst foodstuffs are liquified in the stomach. When this has been done, the sphincter muscle relaxes, re-opening the channel to allow the liquified nutrients into the intestines.

How does pyloric sphincter knows to open for chyme and when to close?

The pyloric sphincter opens in response to the presence of acidic chyme in the stomach. This triggers hormonal and neural signals that stimulate the sphincter to relax and allow the chyme to pass into the small intestine. Once the chyme has been emptied, feedback mechanisms signal the pyloric sphincter to close to prevent backflow of contents into the stomach.
