The material replacing box 431 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the cutting shell 21 close to the material dropping opening 212. A material dropping opening 4311 is formed in the bottom wall of the material replacing box 431 and is in communication with the material dropping opening 212. The width of the material dropping opening 212 is greater than that of the material dropping opening 4311. The material replacing box 431 is used for storing new cutting knives 23.

[0060] With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 11 The material dropping assembly comprises a material dropping plate 435, a material dropping spring 437 and a material dropping rod 436. The material dropping plate 435 is slidingly installed on the side wall of the cutting shell 21 at the material dropping opening 212 and is used for closing the material dropping opening 4311 of the material replacing box 431. The two ends of the side wall of the material dropping plate 435 close to the material replacing box 431 are each provided with a material dropping protrusion 4352. A material hole 4351 is formed in the side wall of the material dropping plate 435 and is used for connecting the material dropping opening 4311 and the material dropping opening 212. The material hole 4351 is used for allowing the cutting knife 23 to pass through.

[0061] With reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12 One end of the material dropping rod 436 is fixedly installed on the bottom wall of one end of the material dropping plate 435. The other end of the material dropping rod 436 extends downward into the cutting shell 21. The material dropping spring 437 is installed in the cutting shell 21. One end of the material dropping spring 437 is fixedly connected with the side wall of the material dropping rod 436. The other end of the material dropping spring 437 is fixedly connected with the inner wall of the cutting shell 21.

[0062] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 12A push groove is provided on the side wall of the end of the cutting block 22. A push block 438 is slidably installed in the push groove. The axis of the push block 438 is parallel to the axis of the length direction of the cutting block 22. The side wall of the push block 438 is also provided with an abutting slope for abutting against the side wall of the dropping rod 436. A return spring 439 is also installed in the push groove. One end of the return spring 439 abuts against the end of the push block 438 located in the push groove, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the push groove. The elastic force of the return spring 439 is greater than the elastic force of the dropping spring 437. The push block 438 is located on the side of the mounting groove 221 near the discharge port 211. The distance between the bottom wall of the cutting block 22 on the side of the mounting groove 221 near the discharge port 211 and the top wall of the cutting block 22 is greater than the distance between the bottom wall of the cutting block 22 on the other side of the mounting groove 221 and the top wall of the cutting block 22.

[0063] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 12 A material drop frame 432 is slidably installed vertically in the material discharge port 4311 on the bottom wall of the material changing box 431. The material drop frame 432 is used for the cutting blade 23 to pass through, and the bottom wall of the material drop frame 432 is used to abut against the material drop protrusion 4352 of the material drop plate 435.

[0064] Reference Figure 11 and Figure 13 When the cutting blade 23 needs to be replaced, the cutting block 22 is rotated towards the ejector port 211, thereby causing the cutting blade 23 to rotate. When the cutting block 22 rotates to the point that the unlocking rod 414 slides from the slide groove 4251 along the guide slope to abut against the side wall of the ejector plate 425, the unlocking rod 414 compresses the unlocking spring 416 and causes the unlocking wedge 415 to insert into the unlocking hole 412 of the locking rod 411, thereby causing the locking rod 411 to compress the locking spring 413 and separate the locking rod 411 from the cutting blade 23, thereby releasing the positioning of the cutting blade 23.

[0065] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 13 Then, as the cutting block 22 continues to rotate toward the discharge port 212, the ejector rod 421 slides along the side wall of the ejector block 426 to the ejector protrusion 427, thereby causing the ejector rod 421 to push the cutting blade 23 away from the mounting groove 221 through the push rod 422 and stretch the ejector spring 424. At this time, the cutting block 22 is in a downward tilted state, causing the cutting blade 23 to slide down onto the ejector guide rail 428 under the action of gravity, thereby completing the unloading of the cutting blade 23.

[0066] Reference Figure 10 and Figure 12When the cutting block 22 continues to rotate to the discharging port 212, the discharging rod 421 slides along the sidewall of the discharging protrusion 427 to abut against the sidewall of the discharging block 426, so that the discharging spring 424 drives the discharging rod 421 to reset, and the push rod on the cutting block 22 abuts against the discharging rod 436 and drives the discharging rod 436 to move, so that the discharging rod 436 drives the discharging plate 435 to move and stretch the discharging spring 437, and the discharging protrusion 4352 on the discharging plate 435 abuts against the discharging frame 432 and pushes the discharging frame 432 away from the discharging port 212, so that the top wall of the discharging frame 432 drives the cutting knife 23 adjacent to the cutting knife 23 in the discharging frame 432 to move upward, and the sidewall of the discharging frame 432 abuts against the sidewall of the cutting knife 23 adjacent to the cutting knife 23 pushed by the discharging frame 432, so that the remaining cutting knives 23 in the discharging box 431 remain stationary, and the material hole 4351 on the discharging plate 435 is aligned with the discharging port 4311 and the discharging port 212, and at this time, the mounting groove 221 on the cutting block 22 is also aligned with the discharging port 212, so that the cutting knife 23 in the discharging box 431 slides from the discharging port 4311 to the mounting groove 221 of the cutting block 22, thereby realizing the replacement of the cutting knife 23.

[0067] With reference to Figure 3 and Figure 12 Subsequently, as the cutting block 22 continues to rotate to the vertical state, the end of the discharging plate 435 abuts against the sidewall of the discharging port 212, so that the discharging rod 436 abuts against the push block 438, thereby compressing the reset spring 439, so that the push block 438 is separated from the discharging rod 436, so as to facilitate the continuous rotation of the cutting block 22.

[0068] With reference to Figure 11 and Figure 12 When the discharging rod 436 is separated from the push block 438, the discharging plate 435 moves to reset under the action of the discharging spring 437, so that the protrusions on the discharging plate 435 gradually separate from the discharging frame 432, so that the discharging frame 432 resets under the action of gravity, thereby releasing the limiting of the remaining cutting knives 23 in the discharging box 431, so that the cutting knives 23 are pushed into the discharging frame 432 under the action of the pushing spring 434, so as to facilitate the next replacement.

[0069] With reference to Figure 10 and Figure 13When the cutting block 22 continues to rotate counterclockwise to the upper end of the sliding groove 4251, the unlocking rod 414 slides into the sliding groove 4251 under the action of the unlocking spring 416, and the end of the unlocking rod 414 slides along the guide slope of the sliding groove 4251, so that the unlocking rod 414 drives the unlocking wedge 415 to move away from the locking rod 411, so that the unlocking wedge 415 is separated from the locking rod 411, and the locking rod 411 is reinserted into the positioning hole 231 of the cutting knife 23 under the action of the locking spring 413, so as to position the cutting knife 23, so as to cut the board of the circuit board.

[0070] Referring to Figure 14 The frame 1 is also provided with a pressing mechanism 5 on both sides of the cutting device 2, and the pressing mechanism 5 comprises a pressing cylinder 51, a pressing block 52, a pressing rod 53, a pressing spring 54 and a pressing wheel 56. The pressing cylinder 51 is fixedly installed on the frame 1 and located above the conveying roller 32, and the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 51 extends downward. The pressing rod 53 is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 51, and the lower end of the pressing rod 53 extends downward. The pressing block 52 is slidably installed on the pressing rod 53 in the vertical direction. The pressing spring 54 is installed on the pressing rod 53, and one end of the pressing spring 54 abuts against the bottom wall of the upper end of the pressing rod 53, and the other end abuts against the top wall of the pressing block 52. The pressing plate 55 is rotatably installed on the bottom wall of the pressing block 52. The pressing wheel 56 is rotatably installed on the bottom wall of the pressing plate 55, and is used for pressing the board of the circuit board.

[0071] The working principle of the embodiment of the application is as follows: the board of the circuit board is conveyed to the frame 1, one of the conveying rollers 32 is driven to rotate by the conveying motor 31, the remaining conveying rollers 32 on the frame 1 are driven to rotate by the conveying belt 33, so as to realize the conveying of the board of the circuit board. When the board of the circuit board is conveyed to the cutting knife 23, the pressing rod 53 is driven to move downward by the pressing cylinder 51, so as to drive the pressing plate 55 to move downward, so that the pressing wheel 56 presses the board, then the driving rod 242 is driven to rotate by the lifting motor 241, so that the bending part 243 of the driving rod 242 drives the lifting rod 244 to realize the lifting action, so that the lifting rod 244 drives the cutting shell 21 to lift, so that the cutting knife 23 on the cutting shell 21 cuts the board, so that the large board of the circuit board is cut into small boards meeting the size requirements.

[0072] When the cutting knife 23 is worn after a period of use, it needs to be replaced. By loosening the locking bolts, the left and right locking rings are unlocked from the rotating shaft 222, and then the cutting block 22 is driven counterclockwise by the hand wheel 223. When the cutting block 22 drives the unlocking rod 414 to slide from the sliding groove 4251 of the material return plate 425 to the side wall of the material return plate 425, the unlocking rod 414 compresses the unlocking spring 416 and drives the unlocking wedge 415 to be inserted into the unlocking hole 412 of the locking rod 411, thereby driving the locking rod 411 to compress the locking spring 413 and separating the locking rod 411 from the positioning hole 231 of the cutting knife 23, so as to unlock the cutting knife 23. At this time, the cutting knife 23 is just located at the material return rail 428, and the material return rod 421 slides from the side wall of the material return block 426 to the side wall of the material return protrusion 427, so that the material return rod 421 drives the top rod 422 to push the cutting knife 23 away from the mounting groove 221, thereby pushing the cutting knife 23 out of the mounting groove 221, and at the same time, the cutting knife 23 slides down to the material return rail 428 under the action of gravity, thereby completing the discharging of the cutting knife 23.

[0073] When the old cutting knife 23 is completely separated, the cutting block 22 continues to rotate to the discharging port 212, so that the push block 438 on the cutting block 22 drives the discharging rod 436 to move and stretch the discharging spring 437, thereby driving the discharging plate 435 to move to the side wall of the discharging port 212, so that the material hole 4351 of the discharging plate 435 is in communication with the discharging port 212 and the discharging port 4311 of the material changing box 431, and the protrusion on the discharging plate 435 lifts the discharging frame 432, thereby lifting the cutting knife 23 adjacent to the discharging frame 432, so that the side wall of the discharging frame 432 limits the cutting knife 23 adjacent to the cutting knife 23 lifted by the discharging frame 432, thereby making the cutting knife 23 in the discharging frame 432 fall into the mounting groove 221 of the cutting block 22, and the cutting knife 23 adjacent to the discharging frame 432 remains stationary. When the cutting block 22 continues to rotate to the vertical state, the discharging plate 435 is limited by the side wall of the discharging port 212, so that the discharging rod 436 exerts pressure on the push block 438, thereby compressing the return spring 439 and separating the push block 438 from the discharging rod 436, so that the discharging rod 436 drives the discharging plate 435 to return under the action of the discharging spring 437, thereby closing the discharging port 212 and the discharging port 4311, and separating the protrusion of the discharging plate 435 from the discharging frame 432, thereby releasing the limitation of the discharging frame 432 on the cutting knife 23 adjacent to the discharging frame 432, so that the cutting knife 23 in the material changing box 431 is pushed into the discharging frame 432 under the action of the pushing spring 434, in order to replace the cutting knife 23 next time.

[0074] When the cutting block 22 rotates to the upper end of the sliding groove 4251, the unlocking lever 414 slides from the side wall of the material returning plate 425 to the sliding groove 4251 through the guide slope under the action of the unlocking spring 416, so as to drive the unlocking wedge 415 to separate from the locking lever 411, and thus the locking lever 411 is inserted into the positioning hole 231 of the cutting knife 23 under the action of the locking spring 413, so as to realize the positioning of the cutting knife 23. Then the cutting block 22 rotates to the vertical downward state again, so that the cutting knife 23 is aligned with the gap between two adjacent conveying rollers 32 on the rack 1, so as to re-cut the circuit board material. Finally, the locking bolt is tightened, so that the left and right locking rings clamp the rotating shaft 222, thereby locking the rotating shaft 222, so as to make the cutting knife 23 stable when cutting the circuit board material.

[0075] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, which does not limit the protection scope of the present application, therefore: any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, principle of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
