[0041] Furthermore, the side surface 212 is inclined to the top surface 211, and the angle between the side surface 212 and the top surface 211 is 105° to 135°, so that the sheet material can enter the spacing space 200 more smoothly and will not collide with the side surface 212 during the clamping or cutting process.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 ,exist Figure 5 and Figure 6 The central bracket 40 in this embodiment is shown in the figure. The central bracket 40 includes a pair of second side plates 41 and a contact plate 42 connecting the pair of second side plates 41. The contact plate 42 is used to cooperate with the cutter 52 so that the cutter 52 cuts the first sheet material 80.

[0043] In this embodiment, the second side panel 41 is connected across a pair of vertical panels 14. Specifically, the second side panel 41 includes a horizontal panel 411 and a middle panel 412, wherein both ends of the horizontal panel 411 are respectively fixed on a pair of vertical panels 14, the middle panel 412 extends upward from the horizontal panel 411 in a vertical direction, and the contact panel 42 is fixed on one end of the middle panel 412 away from the horizontal panel 411.

[0044] It can be understood that the contact plate 42 is arranged in a horizontal direction and is arranged parallel to the first main support rod 13 and the second main support rod 32 .

[0045] The contact plate 42 includes a pair of contact surfaces for respectively cooperating with a pair of cutters 52. In this embodiment, a knife groove 421 is also provided on the contact surface. The cutter 52 cooperates with the knife groove 421 to cut the sheet material. It can be understood that the length of the knife groove 421 matches the length of the cutter 52.

[0046] A pair of cutting components are respectively arranged on corresponding swing frames. The cutting components include a cutter 52 with a cutting edge 521 facing the central bracket 40. The cutter 52 is configured to be movable toward the central bracket 40. At the same time, the sheet material is cut through the cooperation between the cutter 52 and the contact plate 42.

[0047] It can be understood that a pair of cutter 52 components respectively include a first cutting component 50 provided on the left swing frame 20 and a second cutting component 60 provided on the right swing frame 30. Please refer to Figure 4 ,exist Figure 4 , a structural diagram of the first cutting assembly 50 is shown.

[0048] The first cutting component 50 includes a first cutting device and a first pressing device, and the second cutting component 60 includes a second cutting device and a second pressing device. In this embodiment, the first cutting device is located upstream of the movement of the first sheet material 80, and the first pressing device is located downstream of the movement of the first sheet material 80. The cutter 52 includes a cutting edge 521, and the cutting edge 521 faces the central support 40. The cutter 52 is configured to be movable toward the central support 40 so that the cutter 52 cooperates with the contact plate 42 to cut the first sheet material 80.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first cutter device further includes a supporting device, which includes a supporting plate 51 located at the front end of the cutting edge 521 of the cutter 52. The supporting plate 51 includes a through hole 511 for the cutting edge 521 to pass through and a supporting surface that can contact the first sheet material 80. The supporting plate 51 is also configured to be movable toward the cutter 52 and allow the cutter 52 to pass through the through hole 511. It can be understood that when the cutter 52 does not need to cut the first sheet material 80, the cutter 52 will be located on the inner side of the supporting plate 51. The supporting plate 51 protects the cutter 52, which can keep the cutter 52 sharp on the one hand and ensure safety and prevent the cutter 52 from causing unexpected damage to the first sheet material 80 on the other hand.

[0050] Furthermore, the supporting device also includes a movable shaft 53 and an elastic element located between the supporting plate 51 and the movable shaft 53. The movable shaft 53 is connected to the first driving device 56 and is configured to move under the drive of the first driving device 56. The cutter 52 is fixedly connected to the movable shaft 53. It can be understood that when the movable shaft 53 moves, the supporting plate 51 moves synchronously. When the supporting plate 51 contacts the first sheet material 80 and the supporting plate 42, the supporting plate 51 stops moving and the elastic element is compressed. The cutter 52 moves toward the supporting plate 51 and passes through the through hole 511 to cut off the first sheet material 80 between the supporting plate 51 and the supporting plate 42.

[0051] In this embodiment, the elastic element is a coil spring 531 .

[0052] Furthermore, the abutment plate 42 further includes an elastic pad 512 , which is fixed to the end of the elastic element. The elastic pad 512 is used for secondary buffering, thereby facilitating the abutment of the abutment plate 51 against the first sheet material 80 .

[0053] Furthermore, the supporting plate 51 is L-shaped and includes a covering space 510 , and the elastic pad 512 and the cutting edge 521 are located in the covering space 510 .

[0054] Furthermore, the supporting device further includes a knife seat 54 connected to the movable shaft 53 and a fixing bolt 55 for fixing the cutter 52 on the knife seat 54 .

[0055] The first pressing device is arranged below the cutter 52, and includes a first pressing block 57 and a second driving device 58 connected to the first pressing block 57. The first pressing block 57 is configured to move toward the central support 40 under the drive of the second driving device 58, and cooperate with the second pressing device provided on the second cutting assembly 60 to press the first sheet material 80 and the second sheet material.

[0056] Furthermore, the first pressing block 57 is an elastic block. In a preferred embodiment, the first pressing block 57 is made of polyurethane material.

[0057] Furthermore, the first pressing block 57 includes a pressing surface, and the pressing surface is flush with the abutting surface.

[0058] In this embodiment, the first driving device 57 and the second driving device 58 are both cylinders.

[0059] It can be understood that when material replacement is required, the second sheet material enters the gap 200 between the first pressing device and the second pressing device, and the first pressing device and the second pressing device move in a relatively close direction so that the first pressing device and the second pressing device press the sheet material. When a combining device is provided at the head of the second sheet material, when the first pressing device and the second pressing device press the sheet material, the head of the second sheet material is combined with the first sheet material 80, and then the first cutter 52 moves toward the direction of the first sheet material 80 and cuts off the first sheet material 80 with the cooperation of the contact plate 42. Afterwards, the second sheet material is guided to move by the first sheet material 80 in the front, thereby completing the switching of the sheet materials, that is, completing the material replacement. Similarly, the material replacement from the second sheet material to the first sheet material 80 can be completed.

[0060] It can be understood that the right swing frame 30 is also provided with a right guide roller 31, and the material changing knife frame also includes a lower guide roller 71 arranged downstream of the cutting assembly. The first cutter 52 cuts the first sheet material 80 between the left guide roller 24 and the lower guide roller 71, and the second cutter 52 cuts the second sheet material located between the right guide roller 31 and the lower guide roller 71.

[0061] It can be understood that in this embodiment, when it is necessary to guide the head of the second sheet material to the spacing space 200, the right swing frame 30 can be swung away from the central support 40 first, thereby expanding the spacing space 200 and allowing the right guide roller 31 to be closer to the head of the second sheet material, so that the head of the second sheet material can easily enter the spacing space 200, and then the right swing frame 30 is swung in the direction close to the central support 40 to return to a position symmetrical with the left swing frame 20. On the one hand, material replacement and cutting operations can be performed, and on the other hand, the right guide roller 31 can assist in pulling the second sheet material to move during this process, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of the entire operation. At the same time, the left swing frame 20 can be operated through the above process to replace the first sheet material 80.

[0062] In addition, the position of the first sheet material can be limited upstream of the first pressing device and the second pressing device by the holding device, so that the cutter can cut the sheet material more easily.

[0063] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
