[0003] In addition, although the existing soft tissue box can automatically dispense the soft tissue, the soft tissue needs to be cut by the cutting mechanism of the soft tissue box after the soft tissue is dispensed. However, the inventor found that the cutting mechanism often cannot cut the soft tissue at one time, and the user needs to manually pull the soft tissue to cut it when the cutting mechanism cannot cut the soft tissue at one time. This not only causes the cut surface of the soft tissue to be uneven, but also makes the use of the soft tissue box more complicated. SUMMARY

[0051] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. However, those skilled in the art can understand that, in the embodiments of the present application, many technical details are presented in order to make the readers better understand the present application. However, the technical solutions claimed by the present application can be realized even without these technical details and based on various changes and modifications of the following embodiments.

[0052] Embodiment One

[0053] The first embodiment of the present application relates to a cutting mechanism of a tissue box, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 , comprising: a cutter device 1, a driving device 2 and a master control module 3.

[0054] As shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the cutter device 1 comprises: a first cutter 11 and a second cutter 12, and the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 are relatively movable along a preset direction. Secondly, as shown in Figure 4 , the master control module 3 is electrically connected with the driving device 2, for judging whether to output a first driving signal to the driving device 2 according to the received tissue output instruction. In addition, the driving device 2 is used to drive the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 to move towards each other after receiving the first driving signal.

[0055] And, it is worth noting that in the present embodiment, when the first cutter 1 and the second cutter 2 move towards each other in the direction of mutual approach, the first cutter 1 and the second cutter 2 gradually converge from the direction of any relative end to the other end of each other.

[0056] It is not difficult to see from the above that, since the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 of the cutter device 1 are relatively movable in the preset direction, and when the driving device 3 of the cutting mechanism drives the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 to move towards each other in the direction of mutual approach after receiving the first driving signal output by the master module 4, the cutting of the soft towel is realized. And, when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move towards each other in the direction of mutual approach, the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 gradually converge from the direction of any relative end to the other end of each other, so that the entire cutter device 1 in the process of cutting the soft towel, similar to the principle of scissors cutting, the first cutter and the second cutter can generate a larger shearing force on the soft towel, so that the cutting mechanism of the present embodiment can cut the soft towel at one time, thereby ensuring the flatness of the cross section of the soft towel after cutting, and facilitating the user's operation of the soft towel box.

[0057] Specifically, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first cutter 11 comprises: a first head end 111, a first tail end 112 arranged away from the first head end 111, a first pivot portion 113 arranged between the first head end 111 and the first tail end 112, and the first cutter 11 can be rotated relative to the second cutter 12 through the first pivot portion 113.

[0058] In addition, in the present embodiment, as shown in Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the second cutter 12 comprises: a second head end 121, a second tail end 122 arranged away from the second head end 121, and the second tail end 122 of the second cutter 12 is provided with a second pivot portion 125, and the second cutter can be rotated relative to the first cutter 11 through the second pivot portion 125. And, as shown in Figure 2 , when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move towards each other in the direction of mutual approach, the first cutter 11 is used for the second head end 121 of the second cutter 12 and the first head end 111 of the first cutter 11 to converge, and then it will be rotated towards the direction of the second cutter 12, so that the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 can gradually converge from the head end to the tail end of the two cutters.

[0059] In order to make the first cutter 11 rotate towards the second cutter 12 after the second head end 121 of the second cutter 12 and the first head end 111 of the first cutter 11 are folded towards each other, as shown in Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the first head end 111 of the first cutter 11 is provided with a first clamping groove 114, and the second head end 121 of the second cutter 12 is provided with a second clamping groove 123. And along the preset direction, the length of the first clamping groove 114 is greater than the length of the second clamping groove 123. In addition, the driving device 2 comprises a transmission component 21 and a driving assembly 22, and the transmission component 21 has a first limiting protrusion 211 embedded in the first clamping groove 114, a second limiting protrusion 212 embedded in the second clamping groove 123, and the second limiting protrusion 212 is slidable in the second clamping groove 123 along the preset direction. In addition, the driving assembly 22 is also electrically connected with the main control module 3, and the driving assembly 22 is used to drive the transmission component 21 to move linearly along the preset direction.

[0060] As can be seen, in actual application, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the driving assembly 22 can receive the first driving signal output by the main control module 3, and when the driving assembly 22 receives the first driving signal output by the main control module 3, the driving assembly 22 can drive the transmission component 21 to move towards the second cutter 12, and in the process of movement, the transmission component 21 can first make the second cutter 12 rotate towards the first cutter 11 with the second pivot 125 as the fulcrum by the cooperation of the second limiting protrusion 212 and the second clamping groove 123, and in the process of linear movement, because the first clamping groove 114 has a longer length, the first limiting protrusion 211 at this time does not abut against the groove wall of the first clamping groove 114, only the second limiting protrusion 212 drives the second cutter 12 to rotate towards the first cutter 11, and when the first limiting protrusion 211 abuts against the groove wall of the first clamping groove 114, the second head end 121 of the second cutter 12 and the first head end 111 of the first cutter 11 have been folded, at this time, the transmission component 21 continues to move towards the second cutter 12, and by the abutment of the first limiting protrusion 211 and the groove wall of the first clamping groove 114, the first cutter 11 can be driven by the transmission component 21 to rotate relative to the second cutter 12 with the first pivot 113 as the fulcrum, that is, the head end 111 of the first cutter 11 can move away from the second cutter 12, and the tail end 112 of the first cutter 11 can move towards the second cutter 12, until the first tail end 112 of the first cutter 11 and the second tail end 122 of the second cutter 12 are folded, that is, the cutting of the soft towel can be completed.

[0061] In order to enable the driving assembly 22 to drive the transmission component 21 to move linearly along the preset direction, as shown inFigure 1 and Figure 3 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the transmission component 21 has a toothed surface 213 in a preset direction, and the driving assembly 22 comprises a motor 221 electrically connected with the main control module 3, a gear 222 coaxially arranged with a main shaft of the motor 221, and the gear 222 is also engaged with the toothed surface 213 on the transmission component 21. In actual application, the motor 221 can receive the first driving signal output by the main control module 3, and when the motor 221 receives the first driving signal output by the main control module 3, the motor 221 can drive the gear 222 to rotate, and the gear 222 can drive the transmission component 21 to move linearly in a preset direction by means of the engagement with the toothed surface 213 when the gear 222 rotates, so that the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 can move in directions opposite to each other under the movement of the transmission component 21. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the motor 221 can drive the gear 222 to rotate, and the gear 222 can drive the transmission component 21 to move linearly in a preset direction by means of the engagement with the toothed surface 213 when the gear 222 rotates, so that the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 can move in directions opposite to each other under the movement of the transmission component 21.

[0062] In addition, it is worth noting that in order to make the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 generate a larger shearing force on the soft towel, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, one side of the first cutter 11 relative to the second cutter 12 is a first cutting edge 115, and one side of the second cutter 12 relative to the first cutter 11 is a second cutting edge 124, so that when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move in directions close to each other, a larger shearing force can be generated on the soft towel 100 by the first cutting edge 115 and the second cutting edge 124, thereby achieving the cutting of the soft towel. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, one side of the first cutter 11 relative to the second cutter 12 is a first cutting edge 115, and one side of the second cutter 12 relative to the first cutter 11 is a second cutting edge 124, so that when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move in directions close to each other, a larger shearing force can be generated on the soft towel 100 by the first cutting edge 115 and the second cutting edge 124, thereby achieving the cutting of the soft towel.

[0063] As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, one side of the first cutter 11 relative to the second cutter 12 is a first cutting edge 115, and one side of the second cutter 12 relative to the first cutter 11 is a second cutting edge 124, so that when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move in directions close to each other, a larger shearing force can be generated on the soft towel 100 by the first cutting edge 115 and the second cutting edge 124, thereby achieving the cutting of the soft towel. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, one side of the first cutter 11 relative to the second cutter 12 is a first cutting edge 115, and one side of the second cutter 12 relative to the first cutter 11 is a second cutting edge 124, so that when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move in directions close to each other, a larger shearing force can be generated on the soft towel 100 by the first cutting edge 115 and the second cutting edge 124, thereby achieving the cutting of the soft towel.

[0064] In addition, when the cutter device 1 completes the cutting of the soft towel, the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 of the cutter device 1 can be reset, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Figure 4As shown, the cutting mechanism of the embodiment further comprises a first detection module 4 and a second detection module 5. Wherein, the first detection module 4 and the second detection module 5 are oppositely arranged along a preset direction, and the first detection module 4 and the second detection module 5 are electrically connected with the main control module, and meanwhile, the transmission component 21 is further arranged between the first detection module 4 and the second detection module 5.

[0065] In actual application, in combination with Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the driving assembly 22 receives the first driving signal output by the main control module 3, the driving assembly 22 can drive the transmission component 21 to move linearly towards the first detection module 4, so that the transmission component 21 at this time can drive the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12 to move towards each other, thereby realizing the cutting of the soft towel by the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12. When the first detection module 4 detects the transmission component 21, it means that the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12 have completed the cutting of the soft towel, at this time the main control module 3 can output the second driving signal to the driving assembly 22, and when the driving assembly 22 receives the second driving signal, the driving assembly 22 can drive the transmission component 21 to move linearly towards the second detection module 5, so that the transmission component 21 at this time can drive the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12 to move away from each other, thereby realizing the reset of the first cutting knife 11 and the second cutting knife 12, and when the second detection module 5 detects the transmission component 21, it means that the first cutting knife and the second cutting knife have been reset, at this time the main control module 3 can close the driving assembly 22.

[0066] And it should be noted that in the embodiment, the first detection module 4 and the second detection module 5 can both use Hall elements, so that when the first detection module 4 or the second detection module 5 detects the transmission component 21, it can output a Hall signal to the main control module 3, and the main control module 3 can perform different operations on the driving assembly 22 according to the Hall signal received from the first detection module 4 or the second detection module 5.

[0067] Example two

[0068] The third embodiment of the present application relates to a soft towel box, as shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6 comprises a shell 6, a transmission mechanism 7, and a cutting mechanism as described in the first embodiment.

[0069] Wherein, as shown in Figure 5 the shell 6 is used to accommodate soft towel consumables, and the shell 6 also has a towel outlet side 61. Secondly, as shown in Figure 6As shown, the transmission mechanism 7 is electrically connected with the master module 3, and the master module 3 is used for opening the transmission mechanism 7 according to the received towel dispensing instruction, so that the transmission mechanism 7 transmits the soft towel 100 in the soft towel consumable to the direction of the towel dispensing side 61.

[0070] In addition, when the length of the soft towel transported to the towel dispensing side 61 reaches the length of one-time towel dispensing, the master module 3 is used for closing the transmission mechanism 7 and determining to output a first driving signal to the driving device 2, and the driving device 2 can drive the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 to move towards each other after receiving the first driving signal.

[0071] As can be seen from the above, when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move towards each other, the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 gradually close from any one end to the other end, so that the entire cutter device 1 can generate a large shearing force on the soft towel in the process of cutting the soft towel, the cutting mechanism of the soft towel box can cut the soft towel at one time, thereby ensuring the flatness of the cross section of the soft towel after cutting and facilitating the operation of the soft towel box by the user.

[0072] Embodiment Three

[0073] The third embodiment of the present application relates to a cutting method of a soft towel, which comprises the following steps as shown in the figure: Figure 7

[0074] Step 710: determining whether to cut the soft towel according to the received towel dispensing instruction.

[0075] Step 720: if it is determined to cut the soft towel, driving the cutter device 1 of the soft towel box, so that the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 arranged opposite to each other of the cutter device 1 move towards each other.

[0076] And when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move towards each other, the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 gradually close from any one end to the other end.

[0077] As can be seen from the above, when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 move towards each other, the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 gradually close from any one end to the other end, so that the entire cutter device 1 can generate a large shearing force on the soft towel in the process of cutting the soft towel, the cutting mechanism of the soft towel box can cut the soft towel at one time, thereby ensuring the flatness of the cross section of the soft towel after cutting and facilitating the operation of the soft towel box by the user.​

[0078] Specifically, in the step of judging whether to cut the soft towel according to the received dispensing instruction, i.e. step 710, specifically comprises:

[0079] calculating the length of the soft towel sent out from the dispensing side of the soft towel box.

[0080] If the calculated length of the soft towel sent out from the dispensing side reaches the length of one dispensing, it is determined to cut the soft towel.

[0081] If the calculated length of the soft towel sent out from the dispensing side does not reach the length of one dispensing, it is determined not to cut the soft towel.

[0082] Since the total length of the soft towel when the soft towel consumable is not dispensed in the present embodiment is the system default length, and the length of one dispensing of the soft towel consumable is the fixed dispensing length, i.e. the length of each dispensing of the soft towel consumable is a certain amount, or the length of one dispensing of the soft towel consumable is the pre-set length, i.e. the length of each dispensing of the soft towel consumable is a variable, which can be pre-set by the user. Therefore, only when the length of the soft towel sent out from the dispensing side reaches the length of one dispensing, the soft towel box will determine to cut the soft towel, so as to ensure the consistency of the length of the soft towel each time the soft towel box dispenses. And when it is determined not to cut the soft towel, it returns to step 710.

[0083] In addition, as a preferred embodiment, after driving the cutter device 1 of the soft towel box, moving the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 of the cutter device 1 towards each other, i.e. after step 720, as shown in the figure, the cutting method of the present embodiment further comprises the following steps: Figure 7

[0084] Step 730, after the first cutter and the second cutter are completely closed and the cutting of the soft towel is completed, it is continuously determined whether the remaining length of the soft towel in the soft towel consumable is less than the length of one dispensing.

[0085] Step 740, if it is determined that the remaining length of the soft towel in the soft towel consumable is less than the length of one dispensing, an alarm information is generated for alarm prompt. For example, the alarm information generated by the soft towel box is sound alarm information or light alarm information, therefore, corresponding to the sound alarm information or light alarm information, an alarm module (not shown in the figure) can be provided on the soft towel box, and the alarm module can adopt, for example, a light alarm module, a sound alarm module or a sound and light alarm module. As can be seen, once the soft towel box determines that the remaining length of the soft towel in the soft towel consumable is less than the length of one dispensing, it means that the soft towel in the soft towel consumable is insufficient at this time, and by generating alarm information for alarm prompt, the purpose of reminding the user can be achieved, which is convenient for the user to replace the consumable in the soft towel box in time.

[0086] ​And, it needs to be explained that, since the length of the soft tissue consumable is fixed, the remaining length of the soft tissue in the soft tissue consumable is related to the number of times of the soft tissue box, for example, the length of the soft tissue box is 10 cm, and the length of 10 times of the soft tissue is 100 cm. Therefore, in the step of judging whether the remaining length of the soft tissue in the soft tissue consumable is less than the length of the soft tissue, that is, step 730, specifically includes:

[0087] According to the number of times of the soft tissue box, the total length of the soft tissue sent out from the soft tissue side is obtained.

[0088] Calculate the length difference between the total length of the soft tissue and the total length of the soft tissue.

[0089] If the calculated length difference is less than the length of the soft tissue, it is determined that the remaining length of the soft tissue in the soft tissue consumable is less than the length of the soft tissue.

[0090] If the calculated length difference is greater than or equal to the length of the soft tissue, it is determined that the remaining length of the soft tissue in the soft tissue consumable is not less than the length of the soft tissue.

[0091] It is not difficult to see that the cutting method of the soft tissue of the embodiment can obtain the total length of the soft tissue sent out from the soft tissue side according to the number of times of the soft tissue box, so that the calculation of the remaining length of the soft tissue in the soft tissue consumable is simple and easy to operate. In actual application, only a counter is needed to be set at the position of the soft tissue box on the soft tissue side, and the number of times of the soft tissue box can be accumulated by the counter, and the total length of the soft tissue box can be calculated according to the number of times of the soft tissue box accumulated by the counter.

[0092] In addition, after the step of driving the cutter device 1 of the soft tissue box, the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 arranged opposite to each other are moved towards each other, that is, after step 720, the cutting method of the embodiment further includes the following steps:

[0093] Step 750, when the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 are completely folded, continue to drive the cutter device to move the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 towards each other, until the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 are moved to the initial position respectively.

[0094] Since the first cutter 11 and the second cutter 12 of the cutter device 1 can be moved to the initial position respectively after completing the cutting of the soft tissue, the soft tissue box can conveniently cut the subsequent soft tissue after the soft tissue is sent out.

[0095] In addition, it is worth noting that the present embodiment is an example of the cutting method of the soft towel corresponding to the first embodiment, and the present embodiment can be implemented in cooperation with the first embodiment. The technical details mentioned in the first embodiment are still valid in the present embodiment, and in order to reduce repetition, they will not be described here. Accordingly, the technical details mentioned in the present embodiment can also be applied in the first embodiment.

[0096] Those skilled in the art can understand that the above-mentioned embodiments are specific embodiments for implementing the present application, and in actual application, various changes can be made in form and detail without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application.
