[0002] In the furniture manufacturing and wood processing industries, after edge banding, excess edge banding tape often remains at both ends of the boards. This tape needs to be trimmed using a trimming mechanism to ensure smooth and aesthetically pleasing edges. Traditional trimming mechanisms are often structurally simple and cannot flexibly perform continuous, high-precision bidirectional cutting of both ends of the board at the same workstation. To achieve double-end trimming, existing equipment often requires two independent mechanisms or complex flipping devices, which not only increases manufacturing costs and floor space but also complicates debugging and maintenance.

[0008] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the end-jointing mechanism further includes a dust collection box, which is mounted on the first slide and is used to collect dust.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the dust collection box has an opening facing forward, and the right side wall of the dust collection box is provided with a first notch, through which the cutter can enter or leave the dust collection box in a left-right direction.

[0023] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 12 The edge-cutting mechanism is used to cut the edge banding 111 of the board 110. The edge-cutting mechanism includes a base 100, a translation component 200, a lifting component 300, a cutting component 400, and a positioning component 500.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5The translation component 200 includes a first slide block 210 and a first driving component 220. The first slide block 210 is slidably connected to the base 100, and the first driving component 220 is used to drive the first slide block 210 to move in the left-right direction. The translation component 200 can drive the cutting component 400 and the positioning component 500 to move synchronously in the left-right direction to adapt to plates 110 of different widths or to perform avoidance or resetting actions; preferably, referring to Figure 10 The first driving component 220 is a cylinder. The body of the first driving component 220 is mounted on the first slide block 210. The driving end of the first driving component 220 faces right and is fixedly connected to the base 100. When the first driving component 220 is started, it can drive the first slide block 210 and the body of the first driving component 220 to move simultaneously in the left and right directions; or, the body of the first driving component 220 is mounted on the base 100, and the driving end of the first driving component 220 is fixedly connected to the first slide block 210.

[0026] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 10 to 12 The lifting assembly 300 includes a first lifting seat 310 and a lifting drive component 320. The first lifting seat 310 is slidably connected to a first slide block 210, and the lifting drive component 320 is used to drive the first lifting seat 310 to move in the vertical direction. The lifting drive component 320 is a cylinder. Reference Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 10 to 12 The cutting assembly 400 includes a second slide 410, a second driving component 420, a cutter 430, and a rotary driving component 440. The second slide 410 is slidably connected to the first lifting seat 310. The second driving component 420 drives the second slide 410 to move in the left-right direction. The second driving component 420 is mounted on the first lifting seat 310. The rotary driving component 440 is mounted on the second slide 410, and its driving end is fixedly connected to the cutter 430. The second driving component 420 is a cylinder, with its driving end facing left and fixedly connected to the second slide 410. The rotary driving component 440 is a servo motor.

[0027] Reference Figures 1 to 5 , Figures 10 to 12The positioning assembly 500 includes a positioning wheel 510 and a third driving component 520. The third driving component 520 is mounted on the first slide block 210 and drives the positioning wheel 510 to move vertically. The positioning wheel 510 can abut against the left or right side of the plate 110. The positioning assembly 500 also includes a second lifting seat 530, which is slidably connected to the first slide block 210. The positioning wheel 510 is rotatably connected to the second lifting seat 530, and the axis of the positioning wheel 510 is in the front-back direction. The driving end of the third driving component 520 is connected to the second lifting seat 530. The third driving component 520 is a cylinder, with its driving end facing downwards. When the driving end of the third driving component 520 extends downwards, it causes the second lifting seat 530 to descend; when the driving end of the third driving component 520 retracts upwards, it causes the second lifting seat 530 to rise. The rotary drive component 440 is mounted on the second slide 410, with the drive end of the rotary drive component 440 facing left. The second drive component 420 is mounted on the first lifting seat 310. The positioning wheel 510 uses a rolling bearing with an outer polyurethane or rubber coating, which can ensure the rigidity of the positioning and avoid scratching the surface of the plate 110 when it collides with the plate 110.

[0028] Understandably, after the rear side of the sheet 110 is edge-sealed, it moves to the right under the clamping and transporting of the conveyor belt 130, referring to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The plate 110 moves to the right until its right side abuts against the positioning wheel 510, at which point the plate 110 stops moving. The cutter 430 is positioned above the plate 110. The rotation drive component 440 drives the cutter 430 to rotate, and the second drive component 420 drives the second slide 410 to move left and right, thereby moving the cutter 430 left and right, aligning it with the leftmost side of the positioning wheel 510. This means the cutting plane of the cutter 430 is flush with the right side of the plate 110. The fine-tuning action of the second drive component 420 compensates for the difference between the radius of the positioning wheel 510 and the radius of the cutter 430, as well as the preset trimming allowance. The lifting drive component 320 drives the first lifting seat 310 downwards, thereby moving the second slide 410 and the cutter 430 downwards, cutting off the excess edge banding 111 on the right side of the plate 110; and positioning the cutter 430 below the plate 110. Next, the first drive component 220 drives the first slide 210 to move a certain distance to the right, and the third drive component 520 drives the second lifting seat 530 and the positioning wheel 510 to move a certain distance downward, thereby avoiding collision and interference with the plate 110. The plate 110 continues to move a certain distance to the right under the clamping and transport of the conveyor belt 130 and then stops. The first drive component 220 then drives the first slide 210 to move back to the initial position to the left. Figure 8 and Figure 9The third drive component 520 drives the second lifting seat 530 and the positioning wheel 510 to move upward a certain distance, so that the positioning wheel 510 is located on the left side of the plate 110. Then, the first drive component 220 drives the first slide 210 to move to the right a certain distance, thereby driving the positioning wheel 510 to move to the right until it abuts against the left side of the plate 110. Then, the second drive component 420 drives the second slide 410 to move in the left and right directions, thereby driving the cutter 430 to move in the left and right directions, so that the cutter 430 and the positioning wheel 510 are at their closest point. Right-side alignment, meaning the cutting plane of the cutter 430 is flush with the left side of the plate 110, the lifting drive component 320 drives the first lifting seat 310 to move upward, thereby driving the second slide 410 and the cutter 430 to move upward, cutting off the excess edge banding 111 on the left side of the plate 110, so that the cutter 430 moves above the plate 110, thereby completing the cutting of the excess edge banding 111 on both sides of the plate 110. The plate 110 is then transported to the right to the next process by the conveyor belt 130.

[0029] Understandably, the positioning wheel 510 of the positioning component 500 can abut against the left or right side of the plate 110 to accurately position the plate 110. The second drive component 420 of the cutting component 400 can drive the cutter 430 to make fine adjustments in the left and right directions so that the cutter 430 is aligned with the leftmost or rightmost side of the positioning wheel 510, thereby indirectly aligning with the leftmost or rightmost side of the plate 110. This allows the cutter 430 to cleanly remove the excess edge banding 111 on both sides of the plate 110 and prevents damage to the plate 110.

[0030] Furthermore, the positioning wheel 510 is controlled and driven to move up and down by the third drive component 520. Combined with the translation of the first slide block 210, this mechanism can flexibly avoid the path of the sheet metal 110. It can position the right side of the sheet metal 110 for alignment, and also quickly reset and catch up with the leftmost side of the sheet metal 110 for alignment after the sheet metal 110 has passed to the right. This achieves positioning and cutting at both ends of the sheet metal 110, improving processing efficiency and product quality.

[0031] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 3 , Figures 10 to 12The base 100 is provided with two first guide shafts 120, which extend in the left-right direction and are spaced apart in the up-down direction. The first guide shafts 120 pass through a first slide block 210, allowing the first slide block 210 to reciprocate along the first guide shafts 120. A first drive component 220 is mounted on the base 100, and its drive end is connected to the first slide block 210. This design ensures smooth and straight translational movement, reducing friction and wear. The two spaced-apart first guide shafts 120 form a double-support guide structure, enhancing the anti-overturning capability and movement stability of the first slide block 210, ensuring the entire assembly moves smoothly without jamming or wobbling. The first guide shafts 120 are preferably high-hardness, high-precision linear optical shafts or chrome-plated hard shafts, and they cooperate with bearings embedded in the first slide block 210 to achieve low-friction, high-precision sliding.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 12 The first lifting seat 310 is provided with two second guide shafts 230, which extend vertically and are spaced apart horizontally. The second guide shafts 230 pass through the first slide 210, allowing the first lifting seat 310 to reciprocate along the axis of the second guide shafts 230. A lifting drive component 320 is mounted on the first slide 210, and its drive end is connected to the first lifting seat 310. The lifting drive component 320 is a cylinder, with its drive end facing upwards. The lifting drive component 320 can drive the first lifting seat 310 and the second guide shafts 230 to move together vertically.

[0033] Two second guide shafts 230, spaced apart in the left-right direction, work together to stabilize and guide the first lifting seat 310. The second guide shafts 230 move vertically along with the first lifting seat 310, ensuring that the cutting assembly 400 maintains a horizontal posture throughout its vertical movement. This prevents deflection or tilting that might occur due to single-point guidance, thus ensuring the verticality of the cutting blade 430's falling or rising trajectory and resulting in a clean cut surface. The second guide shafts 230 are high-precision linear shafts that cooperate with bearings within the first slide 210.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, with reference to Figures 1 to 3The end-cutting mechanism also includes a dust collection box 600, which is mounted on the first slide 210 and is used to collect dust. The opening of the dust collection box 600 faces forward, and a first notch 610 is provided on the right side wall of the dust collection box 600, through which the cutter 430 can enter or exit the dust collection box 600 in a left-right direction. A second notch 620 is provided on the lower side wall of the dust collection box 600, through which the cutter 430 can enter or exit the dust collection box 600 in a vertical direction. A dust outlet 630 is provided on the rear side wall of the dust collection box 600. The end-cutting mechanism also includes a dust collection pipe 640, the inlet end of which is connected to the dust outlet 630, and the outlet end of which is used to connect to an exhaust fan.

[0035] Understandably, during the cutting process of the cutter 430 on the edge banding tape 111, the exhaust fan is turned on, and the dust collection box 600 collects the dust and debris generated during the cutting of the edge banding tape 111 and collects them in a designated location through the dust collection pipe 640, thereby improving the working environment, reducing pollution, and reducing the wear and interference of dust on moving parts.

[0036] Normally, the dust collection box 600 moves together with the first slide 210, always following the cutter 430 to ensure consistent dust collection performance. The first notch 610 and the second notch 620 allow the cutter 430 to freely enter and exit the dust collection box 600 in the horizontal and vertical directions, thereby performing avoidance maneuvers, fine-tuning its position, or cutting operations.
