The stabilizer can control the speed of the propulsion cylinder and cooperate with the tool propulsion cylinder head 20 for buffering to improve control accuracy and safety.

[0033] Furthermore, it also includes a detection switch 18 and a detection fixed block 6, the detection fixed block 6 is connected to the side end of the guide seat fixing plate 19, the detection switch 18 is installed on the detection fixed block 6, and the detection switch 18 is connected to the speed stabilizer 16 signal for adjusting and controlling the speed stabilizer.

[0034] Next is the tool wiping assembly, which includes a wiping push-out cylinder 3, which is connected to the clamping cylinder 1: the wiping push-out cylinder 3 is installed and connected to the tool guide seat 5 through the push-out cylinder fixing block 4, and the clamping cylinder 1 is provided with a clamping cylinder fixing block 2, and the wiping push-out cylinder 3 is connected to the clamping fixing cylinder 2 through the clamping cylinder fixing block 2, and the wiping push-out cylinder is configured to drive the scouring pad back and forth to wipe the tool surface.

[0035] The action flow of the tool cleaning mechanism of the utility model is:

[0036] After the trimming knife 13 trims the oil seal products, the tool pushes the cylinder 10 back to the initial position, and the clamping cylinder 1 drives the scouring pad clamp 14 to drive the scouring pad 15 to hold the trimming knife 13 tightly.

[0037] Then the wiping cylinder 3 is pushed out to drive the scouring pad 15 to move back and forth to wipe the surface of the tool.

[0038] After wiping is completed, the clamping cylinder 1 opens, and the wiping cylinder 3 returns to its original position. Example 2

[0039] Based on Example 1, an automatic trimming machine is provided, including the above-mentioned tool cleaning mechanism. The tool cleaning mechanism can clean and wipe the trimming knife after the tool trimming action is completed, ensuring the cleanliness of the trimming knife surface when trimming the product next time, avoiding affecting the next trimming, and improving the product qualification rate.
