[0020] In this embodiment 1, it also includes an axial moving member 6, which is placed in abutment on the axial cam member 3 and is located in the inner hole of the first gear 4.

Under the drive of the axial cam member 3, the axial moving member 6 drives the shearing member 5 to perform periodic reciprocating movements along the axial direction of the first gear 4 through the axial elastic guide component 8 fixed on the housing 1.

[0021] In this embodiment 1, the radial elastic guide assembly 7 includes a radial guide rod 7-1 and a radial spring 7-2, the radial spring 7-2 is sleeved on the radial guide rod 7-1, one end of the radial guide rod 7-1 is in contact with the inner hole cam 4-1 of the first gear 4, and the other end passes through the axial moving member 6 along the radial direction of the first gear 4 and is fixedly connected with the shearing member 5 (using screws 10), so that the radial elastic guide assembly 7 moves axially with the axial moving member 6.

[0022] In this embodiment 1, the axial elastic guide assembly 8 includes an axial guide rod 8-1 and an axial spring 8-2. The axial guide rod 8-1 is axially arranged along the first gear 4.

[0023] In this embodiment 1, the radial elastic guide assembly 7 and the axial elastic guide assembly 8 can be but are not limited to the above structures, and existing connecting parts that can realize radial reciprocating motion or axial reciprocating motion of the shearing piece can be used in this embodiment.

[0024] In this embodiment 1, the housing 1 includes a housing 1-1 for the accommodating chamber and a cover plate 1-2 which is mounted on the housing 1-1 for the accommodating chamber by connecting screws 9.

The arrangement of the steel balls can be set by those skilled in the art according to actual needs.

[0025] In this embodiment 1, the driving device 2 includes a driving mechanism 2-1 and a second gear 2-2. The driving mechanism 2-1 is mounted on a mounting plate 1-5 on the outer periphery of the housing 1. The output shaft of the driving mechanism 2-1 is drivingly connected to the central axis of the second gear 2-2. The second gear 2-2 is meshed with the first gear 4 through an opening on the housing 1. The central axes of the second gear 2-2 and the first gear 4 are parallel to each other. In the present invention, the driving mechanism 2-1 can be, but is not limited to, a pneumatic stepper motor. Any existing driving mechanism that can drive the second gear to rotate can be used for the driving device of the present invention. In this embodiment 1, the first gear and the second gear can be, but are not limited to, cylindrical gears.

[0026] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment 1, the inner hole cam 4-1 of the first gear 4 has two sets of radial cam surfaces 4-2, and the two sets of radial cam surfaces 4-2 are arranged in a central symmetric manner about the center point of the first gear 4. Figure 5 As shown, the interior of the first gear 4 is a closed hole in which two groups of cam surfaces 4-2 with the same period are connected end to end.

[0027] like Figure 6-9 As shown, in this embodiment 1, the axial cam member 3 has two sets of axial cam surfaces 3-1, and the two sets of axial cam surfaces 3-1 are centrally symmetrically arranged about the center point of the axial cam member 3. The design size of the axial cam member 3 needs to consider the size of the pressure angle, and self-locking cannot be generated.

[0028] In this embodiment 1, the inner hole cam 4-1 of the first gear 4 and the axial cam surface 3-1 of the axial cam member 3 are designed according to the working sequence. As a specific embodiment, the cam surface 4-2 of the inner hole cam 4-1 is designed according to the following Fig.10 and Fig.11 The radial displacement timing curves of the two sets of shearing members 5 are designed. The axial cam surface 3-1 of the axial cam member 3 is designed according to Fig.12 and Fig.13 The axial displacement timing curve design of the two groups of shear members 5 is shown.

[0029] Based on the above timing curve, the timing of the actions of the two shearing members 5 caused by the inner hole cam 4-1 of the first gear and the axial cam surface 3-1 of the axial cam member 3 is as follows: The first gear rotates → When the rotation angle is 0-30°, the two groups of shearing pieces 5 move radially toward the center of the circle for 7mm at the same time, and the axial position of the two groups of shearing pieces 5 remains unchanged → When the rotation angle is 30°-60°, the radial position of the two groups of shearing pieces 5 remains unchanged, and the two groups of shearing pieces 5 move forward axially by 7mm, so that the shearing pieces 5 are inserted into the tail pipe shearing position in the inner hole of the heating sleeve → When the rotation angle is 60°-75°, the two groups of shearing pieces 5 continue to move radially toward the center of the circle for 3mm, so that the two groups of shearing pieces 5 clamp tightly and shear the molten tail pipe end, and the two groups The axial position of the shearing piece 5 remains unchanged → when the rotation angle is 75°-90°, the radial position of the two groups of shearing pieces 5 remains unchanged, and at the same time, the two groups of shearing pieces 5 continue to move forward 3mm in the axial direction to shape the cut ends → when the rotation angle is 90°-180°, the two groups of shearing pieces 5 are reset radially and axially under the action of the radial elastic guide assembly and the axial elastic guide assembly 7 respectively → when the rotation angle is 180°-270°, the last working cycle is repeated → when the rotation angle is 270°-360°, the two groups of shearing pieces 5 are reset radially and axially respectively, and the next round of working cycle is carried out.

[0030] In the present embodiment 1, the working cycle angle of the first gear is 0-180° each time, but in the present invention, the working cycle of the first gear is not limited to the above working cycle. Exceeding the working cycle range does not affect the operation of this structure, and the mechanical interlocking ensures the multi-step orderly action and safety of the two shearing members in the radial and axial directions with a single drive input.

[0031] The specific working principle of this embodiment 1 is as follows: Working process: The driving mechanism 2-1 drives the second gear 2-2 to rotate clockwise, thereby driving the first gear 4 and the axial cam member 3 to rotate. The inner hole cam 4-1 of the first gear 4 drives the radial guide rod 7-1 (two groups) and the shearing member 5 (two groups) to move radially toward the center of the circle. At the same time, the axial cam member 3 drives the axial moving member 6 to move axially. The axial moving member 6 is restricted by the axial guide rod 8-1 fixed on the cover plate 1-2 and can only move axially but not rotate, thereby driving the radial guide rod 7-1 (two groups) and the shearing member 5 (two groups) to move axially at the same time, so that the shearing member 5 (two groups) can perform periodic radial and axial movements according to the process requirements, and complete the closing, clamping, shearing and shaping process.

[0032] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered exemplary and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims be included in the invention. Any reference numeral in a claim should not be considered as limiting the claim to which it relates.

[0033] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
