[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] This utility model provides a technical solution, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 A device for cutting and forming a hook and loop fastener comprises: a transmission unit 1 and a cutting unit 2. The transmission unit 1 is a belt transmission device commonly used in the prior art. At the same time, a support plate is installed inside the transmission unit 1 to improve the cutting effect of the cutting unit 2 on the hook and loop fastener. The cutting unit 2 is installed on the top of the transmission unit 1. A hydraulic cutting knife 23 is installed inside the cutting unit 2. The bottom of the hydraulic cutting knife 23 is connected to the top of the connecting rod 31 through a hinge. The hydraulic cutting knife 23 and the cutting unit 2 cooperate to form a hydraulic cutting device commonly used in the prior art for cutting and forming the hook and loop fastener.

[0026] See also Figure 3 The extrusion mechanism 3 is evenly distributed on the inner top of the cutting unit 2. The extrusion mechanism 3 includes a connecting rod 31. The connecting rod 31 is used to transmit the cross arm 32. The bottom of the connecting rod 31 is connected to the cross arm 32 through a hinge. The cross arm 32 is used to push the trapezoidal block 33 to move. The outside of the cross arm 32 is connected to the trapezoidal block 33.

[0027] The trapezoidal block 33 is used to drive the extrusion block 4 to descend. Guide grooves 21 are provided on both sides of the cutting unit 2. The guide grooves 21 are slidingly connected to the cross arm 32 and the extrusion block 4. Track grooves matching the cross arm 32 and the extrusion block 4 are provided inside the guide grooves 21.

[0028] The track groove cooperates with the track block to guide the cross arm 32 and the extrusion block 4 to perform linear movement. The top ends of the transmission unit 1 are connected to the assembly arm 22. The top of the assembly arm 22 is equipped with a first spring 42. The first spring 42 is connected to the extrusion block 4. The assembly arm 22 can support the cutting unit 2. At the same time, in conjunction with the first spring 42, it can drive the extrusion block 4 to return to its position after the movement is completed, thereby releasing the limit on the Velcro.

[0029] See also Figure 4 , both ends of the top of the extrusion block 4 are provided with a transverse groove 41, and a slider 56 is slidably connected inside the transverse groove 41. A second spring 57 is connected between the transverse groove 41 and the slider 56. The transverse groove 41 cooperates with the slider 56 to guide the L-shaped rack 55 and then perform linear motion. Sliding blocks 43 are provided on both sides of the extrusion block 4. The sliding block 43 is slidably connected to the guide groove 21. The interior of the extrusion block 4 is connected to the bidirectional screw rod 52 through a bearing. The sliding block 43 can guide the extrusion block 4 to perform linear motion.

[0030] See also Figure 5 Both sides of the cutting unit 2 are slidably connected with an extrusion block 4, and a stretching mechanism 5 is assembled inside the extrusion block 4. The stretching mechanism 5 includes a gear 51. The gear 51 can be transmitted through an L-shaped rack 55, and then drive the bidirectional screw rod 52 to rotate. The bidirectional screw rod 52 is inserted into the interior of the gear 51.

[0031] The bidirectional screw rod 52 is used to drive the nut 53 to move. The two sides of the outside of the bidirectional screw rod 52 are threadedly connected with nuts 53. The nut 53 is used to drive the T-shaped arm 54 to move. The bottom of the nut 53 is equipped with a T-shaped arm 54. The T-shaped arm 54 is used to fix the Velcro first and then stretch it.

[0032] An L-shaped rack 55 is meshed with the top of the gear 51, and guide arms 58 are inserted on both sides of the interior of the nut 53. The guide arms 58 are connected to the extrusion block 4. The guide arms 58 can guide the nut 53 to move linearly and prevent the nut 53 from rotating during movement.

[0033] The bottom end of the L-shaped rack 55 close to the hydraulic cutter 23 is not provided with teeth, so the hydraulic cutter 23 can only drive the T-shaped arm 54 to move a certain distance. When it moves to the maximum distance, the gear 51 is disconnected from the L-shaped rack 55, and the T-shaped arm 54 will not continue to move, avoiding pulling and damaging the Velcro.

[0034] In this solution, the hook and loop fastener is first placed on the top of the conveyor unit 1, and the conveyor unit 1 drives the hook and loop fastener to be fed. When the hook and loop fastener moves to the bottom of the cutting unit 2, the hydraulic cutter 23 is started to descend to cut the hook and loop fastener. When the hydraulic cutter 23 descends, it will first drive the connecting rod 31 to transmit, and then drive the cross arm 32 to move, and squeeze the extrusion block 4 through the trapezoidal block 33, so that the extrusion block 4 descends, and the hook and loop fastener is fixed on the top of the conveyor unit 1. When the trapezoidal block 33 continues to move, it will drive the L-shaped rack 55 to move laterally, and then drive the meshing gear 51 to rotate, drive the two-way screw rod 52 to rotate and transmit, and finally drive the two nuts 53 to move away from each other, thereby driving the T-shaped arm 54 to pull the hook and loop fastener, so that the hook and loop fastener is tensioned, and finally the hydraulic cutter 23 is completely descended to complete the cutting and forming process of the hook and loop fastener;

[0035] Before cutting, the Velcro is automatically limited and fixed by the added extrusion mechanism 3 in cooperation with the extrusion block 4 to prevent the Velcro from sliding during cutting, which would cause the cut to be skewed. At the same time, the added stretching mechanism 5 automatically stretches the Velcro when the extrusion block 4 limits the Velcro, making the Velcro tight to avoid uneven cuts due to wrinkles during cutting, which would reduce the quality of the finished product after the Velcro is cut and formed.
