[0028] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown.

[0029] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a soap bar cutting mechanism 10 includes a machine 100, a feeding assembly 200 and a cutting assembly 300. The machine 100 is provided with a cutting groove 110. The feeding assembly 200 includes a pushing drive 210 and a pushing member 220. The pushing drive 210 is provided on the machine 100. The pushing member 220 is provided on the output shaft of the pushing drive 210. The pushing drive 210 is used to drive the pushing member 220 to slide to push the soap bar through the cutting groove 110. The cutting assembly 300 includes a cutting frame 310, a cutting drive 320, a cutter 330, a limiting top seat 341, an elastic member 350 and a pressing plate 360. The frame 310 is disposed on the machine 100, the cutting drive 320 is disposed on the cutting frame 310, and the cutter 330 is disposed on the output shaft of the cutting drive 320. The elastic member 350 is respectively connected to the cutter 330 and the pressure plate 360. The limiting top seat 341 is disposed on the machine 100 and is located below the pressure plate 360. The distance between the top surface of the limiting top seat 341 and the table surface of the machine 100 is equal to the thickness of the soap bar. The cutting drive 320 is used to drive the cutter 330 to descend, so that the cutter 330 drives the pressure plate 360 ​​to abut against the limiting top seat 341, and then the cutter 330 slides into the cutting groove 110.

[0030] It should be noted that the feed assembly 200 is mounted on the machine 100 and is used to move the soap bar through the slot 110 so that the cutting assembly 300 can cut the soap bar into multiple soap blocks. Specifically, the pusher drive 210 is mounted on the bottom of the machine 100, and the pusher 220 is mounted on the output shaft of the pusher drive 210. The pusher drive 210 drives the pusher 220 to slide back and forth on the machine 100, so that the pusher 220 can push the soap bar through the slot 110, allowing the cutting assembly 300 to cut the soap bar into soap blocks. In one embodiment, the pusher drive 210 is a screw module driven by a motor, so that the pusher 220 can push the soap bar to slide accurately. The cutting frame 310 is fixedly mounted on the machine 100 by bolts, and the cutting frame 310 is located above the slot 110. The cutting drive 320 is mounted on the cutting frame 310. For example, the cutting drive 320 is a cylinder or other drive source capable of linear motion. The cutter 330 is mounted on the output shaft of the cutting drive 320. In this way, the cutting drive 320 drives the cutter 330 to move up and down. When the cutter 330 descends, the cutter 330 is inserted into the cutting groove 110. In this way, the soap bar passing through the cutting groove 110 can be cut into soap blocks. The elastic member 350 is connected to the pressing plate 360 ​​and the cutter 330 respectively. For example, the elastic member 350 is a coil spring, wherein the pressing plate 360 ​​and the cutter 330 are arranged adjacent to each other. The limiter top seat 341 is mounted on the machine 100 and is located below the pressing plate 360. Furthermore, the height of the limiter top seat 341 (i.e., the distance between the top surface of the limiter top seat 341 and the table surface of the machine 100) is equal to the thickness of the soap bar. As the cutting drive 320 drives the cutter 330 downward, the cutter 330 simultaneously drives the pressing plate 360 ​​downward. Consequently, the pressing plate 360 ​​first abuts the stopper 341. At this point, the distance between the pressing plate 360 ​​and the tabletop of the machine 100 is limited to the height of the stopper 341. That is, the bottom side of the pressing plate 360 ​​makes no pressure contact with the top surface of the soap bar. At this point, the pressing plate 360 ​​remains stationary against the stopper 341, while the cutter 330 continues to descend, cutting into the groove 110 along the sidewall of the pressing plate 360 ​​to cut the soap bar. Thus, the pressing plate 360 ​​provides no pressure contact with the soap bar before the cutter 330 begins cutting, ensuring that the cut edge of the soap bar remains intact and prevents chipping when the cutter 330 cuts, effectively ensuring the quality of the soap bar cut.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the pusher 220 includes a transverse plate 221 and a push block 222 . The transverse plate 221 is disposed on the output shaft of the pusher drive 210 , and the transverse plate 221 is located above the machine 100 . The push block 222 is disposed on the transverse plate 221 .

[0032] It is to be noted that a long sliding groove is formed on the machine table 100, so that the transverse plate 221 is fixedly connected with the output shaft of the pushing driving member 210 through the long sliding groove. In this way, the transverse plate 221 is driven by the pushing driving member 210 to reciprocally slide on the machine table 100. The pushing block 222 is adjustably installed on the transverse plate 221, so that the transverse plate 221 drives the pushing block 222 to move, so that the pushing block 222 can push one end of the soap bar to pass through the cutting groove 110 to be cut by the cutter 330.

[0033] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment, two guide strips 410 are arranged on the machine table 100, and a material guiding groove for accommodating the soap bar is formed between the two guide strips 410, and the pushing block 222 is located in the material guiding groove.

[0034] It is to be noted that in order to smoothly pass the soap bar through the cutting groove 110 to be cut by the cutter 330, the guide strips 410 are installed on the machine table 100, so that the guide strips 410 form a material guiding groove therebetween, and the position of the pushing block 222 relative to the transverse plate 221 is adjustable, so that the pushing block 222 is located at the center position of the material guiding groove, thereby stably pushing the soap bar.

[0035] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment, a plurality of pushing blocks 222 are arranged, and a plurality of guide strips 410 are arranged, and each guide strip 410 is distributed at intervals, so that a material guiding groove is formed between any two adjacent guide strips 410, and each pushing block 222 is located in each material guiding groove.

[0036] In this way, the plurality of pushing blocks 222 are simultaneously driven by the transverse plate 221 to slide along the respective material guiding grooves, and each material guiding groove accommodates a soap bar, so that a plurality of soap bars can be simultaneously transferred through the cutting groove 110 to be cut by the cutter 330, thereby improving the cutting efficiency of the soap bars.

[0037] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in an embodiment, the cutting assembly 300 further comprises a cutting guide plate 370, the cutting guide plate 370 is slidingly arranged on the cutting frame 310, and the cutting guide plate 370 is connected with the output shaft of the cutting driving member 320, and the cutter 330 is arranged on the cutting guide plate 370.

[0038] It is to be noted that the cutter 330 needs to be disassembled and maintained after being used for a certain period of time. In order to facilitate disassembly and assembly, the cutting guide plate 370 and the cutting driving member 320 are arranged in a long-term connection structure, and the cutter 330 is detachably installed on the cutting guide plate 370. Moreover, the cutting guide plate 370 and the cutting frame 310 are in a sliding connection structure, which can effectively improve the lifting stability of the cutting guide plate 370, that is, the lifting stability of the cutter 330.

[0039] As shown in Figure 3 In an embodiment, two pressing plates 360 are arranged, and the two pressing plates 360 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the cutting guide plate 370.

[0040] It should be noted that the two pressing plates 360 are arranged on the two sides of the cutting knife 330 to make the cutting knife 330 cut the soap bar without pressure, so that the two side surfaces of the cutout will not be broken, and the cutting quality of the soap block formed by cutting is effectively ensured.

[0041] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment, the cutting assembly 300 further comprises two pressing guide plates 381, the two pressing guide plates 381 are respectively arranged on the two sides of the cutting guide plate 370, and the two pressing plates 360 are respectively arranged at the bottom of the two pressing guide plates 381.

[0042] It should be noted that the pressing guide plates 381 are arranged to slide on the cutting guide plate 370 to improve the stability of the lifting movement of the pressing plate 360, and the pressing plate 360 is arranged at the bottom of the pressing guide plate 381. It should be noted that the elastic member 350 is connected with the pressing guide plate 381 and the cutting guide plate 370.

[0043] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment, the pressing guide plate 381 is provided with two guide rods 382 arranged at intervals, and the two guide rods 382 are arranged on the cutting guide plate 370. Each guide rod 382 is sleeved with an elastic member 350, so that the elastic member 350 is in abutment with the cutting guide plate 370 and the pressing guide plate 381.

[0044] In this way, the two guide rods 382 are arranged on the cutting guide plate 370, so that the pressing guide plate 381 can stably slide relative to the cutting guide plate 370, thereby enabling the pressing plate 360 to be stably pressed onto the limiting top seat 341 to abut against the soap bar without pressure.

[0045] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In an embodiment, the cutting assembly 300 further comprises two guide blocks 390, the two guide blocks 390 are arranged on the cutting frame 310, and the two guide blocks 390 are arranged opposite to each other. The cutting guide plate 370 and the pressing guide plate 381 are respectively connected with the two guide blocks 390.

[0046] It should be noted that two guide blocks 390 are mounted on two opposite inner side walls of the cutting frame 310, the guide blocks 390 are provided with two sliding grooves distributed along the vertical direction, one end of the cutting guide plate 370 and one end of the pressing guide plate 381 are respectively slidingly installed in the two sliding grooves, so that the cutting guide plate 370 and the pressing guide plate 381 can stably perform lifting movement along the guide block 390, effectively improving the lifting stability of the pressing plate 360.

[0047] As shown in Figure 1 In an embodiment, the cutting assembly 300 further includes a bottom block 342, a screw rod 343, and a plurality of guide columns 344. The bottom block 342 is arranged on the machine table 100. One end of each guide column 344 is arranged on the limiting top seat 341. Each guide column 344 penetrates the bottom block 342. The screw rod 343 is rotationally arranged on the bottom block 342, and one end of the screw rod 343 is rotationally connected with the limiting top seat 341.

[0048] It should be noted that in order to facilitate the adjustment of the height of the limiting top seat 341, the above structure is provided. Specifically, the bottom plate 342 is installed on the machine table 100 by bolts. One end of each guide column 344 is fixedly installed on the limiting top seat 341. Each guide column 344 is installed on the bottom block 342 by a linear bearing, so that the limiting top seat 341 can be slidingly installed on the bottom block 342 along the vertical direction. One end of the screw rod 343 is rotationally connected with the limiting top seat 341. Thus, rotating the screw rod 343 can drive the limiting top seat 341 to perform lifting movement relative to the bottom block 342 along the vertical direction. Therefore, the height of the limiting top seat 341 can be accurately adjusted, so that when the pressing plate 360 is pressed on the limiting top seat 341, the pressing plate 360 and the soap bar are in pressureless contact, avoiding the formation of pressure marks on the soap bar by the pressing plate 360.

[0049] In an embodiment, two limiting top seats 341, two bottom blocks 342, and two screw rods 343 are provided. The two bottom blocks 342 are arranged on the machine table 100, and are respectively located on both sides of the material guide groove. The two limiting top seats 341 are slidingly arranged on the two bottom blocks 342 along the vertical direction. The two screw rods 343 are respectively screwed on the two bottom blocks 342, and are respectively rotationally connected with the two limiting top seats 341. Thus, the two limiting top seats 341 jointly abut against both ends of the pressing plate 360, ensuring that the pressing plate 360 reliably and stably abuts against the soap bar without pressure.

[0050] As shown in Figure 1 In an embodiment, the cutting frame 310 is further provided with a guard plate 3100, which is located on the side of the cutting frame 310 away from the material pushing driving member 210.

[0051] Therefore, the distance between the guard plate 3100 and the machine table 100 can only allow the soap block to pass, so that the finger of the employee can be prevented from being injured by being inserted into the cutter 330 during the start-up of the equipment, and the safety of the equipment is improved.

[0052] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation manners of the present application, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as the limitation of the scope of the present application patent.
