[0035] In one embodiment, there are two sharpening assemblies 40. One sharpening assembly 40 is installed on one side of the slide plate 21, and the other sharpening assembly 40 is installed on one side of the fixing plate 32. The two sharpening assemblies 40 correspond to the two sides of the blade 22 respectively. Optionally, the two sharpening assemblies 40 are staggered. Further, the two grinding wheels 44 correspond to the relief grooves respectively. In use, the end cover 45 is pressed to compress the first elastic member 46. The end cover 45 drives the bushing 42 and the support column 43 to move towards the blade 22, thereby driving the grinding wheel 44 to abut against the blade 22 to achieve sharpening.
[0036] When the fabric needs to be cut, the rotating power element 35 drives the rotating cover 33 to rotate, thereby exposing part of the blade 22; then, the lifting power element 23 drives the sliding plate 21 to approach the fabric, so that the blade 22 abuts against the fabric; the cutting power element 25 then drives the blade 22 to rotate, completing the cutting. The blade 22 is slidably mounted on the frame via a crossbeam, thereby driving the blade 22 to cut along the extension direction of the fabric; the blade 22 is slidably mounted on the crossbeam via a support plate 10, allowing adjustment of the cutting position of the blade 22 to accommodate fabrics of different widths.
[0037] The cutting device 100 of this utility model selectively covers part of the blade edge of the blade 22 by means of a rotating cover 33. When the blade 22 is not in use, the blade sleeve 31 and the rotating cover 33 cooperate to cover the entire blade edge of the blade 22 to prevent accidental injury to the operator. When the blade 22 is in use, the rotating cover 33 rotates around the fixed plate 32, thereby exposing part of the blade edge of the blade 22.
