The invention relates to a slitting mechanism, and belongs to the technical field of cutting. The mechanism comprises a workbench, two guide rods are arranged on the workbench, and are vertically arranged left and right in parallel, a mounting plate sliding up and down is arranged on the workbench horizontally, guide sleeves in sliding fit with the guide rods are arranged at the two ends of the mounting plate, each guide rod is arranged in the corresponding guide sleeve in a penetrating manner, at least two cutting knives are arranged at the position, between the two guide rods, of the bottomof the mounting plate, a groove used for buffering is formed in the position, corresponding to cutting position of each cutting knife, of the workbench. Through the slitting mechanism, the structure is simple, during design, under the action of the cutting knives, a large amount of old circuit boards can be easily treated, time and labor are saved, operation is safe and reliable, under design of amaterial returning plate, the circuit boards can be effectively prevented from bouncing everywhere during cutting, the old circuit boards can be prevented from being clamped on the cutting knives, and a better cutting condition is created for the cutting knives.
