The reinforcing plate 6 can increase the additional support and strength of the top plate 5 to ensure that the top plate 5 and the fixing plate 4 are firmly connected together. The other end of the reinforcing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixing plate 4. A cutting assembly 7 is provided at the lower end of the top plate 5. Transmission assemblies 8 are provided on the left and right sides of the upper end of the base 1. A collection assembly 9 is provided at the left end of the base 1. The cutting assembly 7 includes an electric telescopic rod 701. The electric telescopic rod 701 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the top plate 5. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 701 is fixedly installed with a connecting plate 702. On the left and right sides of the lower end of the connecting plate 702, a number of telescopic cylinders 707 are fixedly installed. The spring 709 can help maintain the stability of the telescopic cylinder 707 to provide a certain supporting force to prevent the telescopic cylinder 707 from shaking or swinging, and can limit the FPC flexible cable in advance through the cooperation of the limiting plate 708 before the cutting plate 2 cuts the FPC flexible cable to prevent it from moving during the cutting process, resulting in an uneven cut. The lower ends of a number of telescopic cylinders 707 are fixedly installed with a limiting plate 708. A spring 709 is sleeved on the outer surface of a number of telescopic cylinders 707. The upper and lower ends of the spring 709 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower end of the connecting plate 702 and the upper end of the limiting plate 708. A rubber pad 710 is provided at the lower end of the limiting plate 708. The rubber pad 710 can provide soft support and buffering to prevent the FPC flexible cable from being excessively squeezed or damaged during the cutting process. In the middle of the lower end of the connecting plate 702, a mounting seat 703 is fixedly connected. A cutting knife 704 is provided inside the mounting seat 703. The cutting knife 704 is installed inside the mounting seat 703 through a locking bolt 705 and a nut 706. Through holes for the insertion of the locking bolt 705 are formed in both the cutting knife 704 and the mounting seat 703. When the cutting knife 704 needs to be replaced, rotate the locking bolt 705, take out the locking bolt 705 from the nut 706, and replace it.

[0027] Refer to Figures 4-5As shown in the figure, the transmission assembly 8 includes two mounting plates 801, which are respectively mounted on the front and rear sides of the upper end of the base 1. Two transmission rollers 802 are rotatably mounted between the two mounting plates 801. Two rotating rods 803 are rotatably mounted inside the rear mounting plate 801. The front ends of the two rotating rods 803 are respectively fixedly connected to the two transmission rollers 802. First gears 804 and second gears 805 are respectively fixedly mounted at the front ends of the two rotating rods 803. The first gear 804 and the second gear 805 are meshed. Through the meshing of the first gear 804 and the second gear 805, the two conveyor rollers 802 rotate in the same direction. A support block 806 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the base 1. A servo motor 807 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the support block 806. The output end of the servo motor 807 is fixedly connected to the second gear 805.

A collection box 902 is provided inside the collection box 901. Handles 903 are fixedly mounted on the front and rear sides of the upper end of the collection box 902. When the collection box 902 is full, the collection box 902 is lifted out of the collection box 901 through the two handles 903.

[0028] The working principle and usage process of the present utility model: When in use, one end of the FPC flexible cable is passed through between the two transmission rollers 802 on the right side. Driven by the servo motor 807, the first gear 804 and the second gear 805 rotate, thereby driving the two transmission rollers 802 to rotate, driving the FPC flexible cable to move to the left. When one end of the FPC flexible cable passes through the two transmission rollers 802 on the left side, the electric telescopic rod 701 moves downward. The electric telescopic rod 701 drives the connecting plate 702 at the output end to move downward. During the downward movement of the connecting plate 702, the limiting plates 708 on the left and right sides below the connecting plate 702 move downward. Under the action of the telescopic cylinder 707 and the spring 709, the rubber pads 710 at the lower ends of the limiting plates 708 come into contact with the FPC flexible cable in advance to limit it, avoiding the uneven cut of the FPC flexible cable during the cutting process. Then, the cutting knife 704 in the middle of the lower end of the connecting plate 702 cuts the FPC flexible cable. The cut FPC flexible cable falls into the collection box 902 under the drive of the two conveyor rollers on the left side for collection, reducing labor and improving efficiency.
