[0023] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, a cutting device for urine analysis test strips mainly consists of key components such as a placement seat 1, a top frame 2, side frames 3, placement rollers 4, a roll 12, and test strip rolls 13. The top frame 2 is cleverly positioned at the upper end of the placement seat 1, and its cross-section presents a unique "G" shape design. This design is not only aesthetically pleasing but also provides good support and stability in practical use. The side frames 3 are placed on the side wall of the placement seat 1, and three placement rollers 4 are carefully installed on their inner ends. These rollers 4 effectively support and guide the movement of the test strip rolls 13. The roll 12 is fitted onto the three placement rollers 4, and the test strip rolls 13 are neatly stored on the roll 12. The test strip rolls 13 extend from the outlet between the placement seat 1 and the top frame 2, facilitating the next step of the operation.

[0025] At the discharge port of the placement seat 1, the designer has carefully designed a mounting seat 5, which is connected to the conveyor roller 7 via a connecting seat 6. The test paper roll 13 extends from the conveyor roller 7, ensuring that the test paper roll 13 can be smoothly placed on the conveyor roller 7, preparing it for subsequent cutting operations. The conveyor roller 7 can be a single roller conveying mechanism or a complex conveying mechanism composed of multiple rollers or conveyor belts, and its design flexibility provides more possibilities for the use of the device.

[0026] A linear motion actuator 8 is specially designed at the discharge port of the top frame 2. The telescopic end of this actuator is connected to the cutter holder 10 via a connector 9. A cutting blade 11 is installed at the lower end of the cutter holder 10. The cutting blade 11 is precisely aligned with the test strip roll 13 moving on the conveyor roller 7 and performs a precise cutting operation. This design ensures the cutting accuracy and efficiency of the test strip.

[0027] A bearing device is provided between the conveyor roller 7 and the connecting seat 6. This design can reduce friction during the conveying process and improve the conveying efficiency of the test paper roll 13. The connecting seat 6 is installed on the mounting seat 5 by bolts, and the mounting seat 5 and the placement seat 1 are fixed together by welding. The two are perpendicular to each other. This structural design is both stable and easy to maintain.

[0028] The top frame 2 and the mounting base 1 are integrated into one piece. The top frame 2 has a round hole at its upper end, which facilitates its fixing to the linear motion actuator 8 with bolts. The telescopic part of the linear motion actuator 8 can pass through the round hole on the top frame 2. This design allows the actuator to move flexibly, thereby driving the cutting tool 11 to perform precise cutting operations.

[0029] The connector 9 is fixed to the tool holder 10 with bolts, ensuring the stability and reliability of the tool holder 10. The tool holder 10 is connected to the cutting tool 11 with bolts, ensuring the precise position and cutting effect of the cutting tool 11. The connector 9 is connected to the telescopic end of the linear motion actuator 8 with threads, which is both secure and easy to adjust.

[0030] The linear motion actuator 8 can be an electric push rod or a hydraulic cylinder. Both of these components can provide stable and reliable linear motion, ensuring that the cutting tool 11 can complete the cutting task accurately.

[0031] The width of the cutting blade 11 is exactly the same as the width between the two connecting seats 6, ensuring cutting precision. The ends of the cutting blade 11 are curved, which is not only aesthetically pleasing but also reduces damage to the test strip roll 13. An appropriate gap is left between the cutting blade 11 and the connecting seats 6 to ensure a smooth cutting process and a neat cut of the test strip.

[0032] Assembly Process: Place the top frame 2 on top of the placement seat 1. Ensure the top frame 2 has a "G" shaped cross-section for good support and stability. Place the side frame 3 on the side wall of the placement seat 1. Install three placement rollers 4 on the inner end of the side frame 3 to effectively support and guide the movement of the test strip roll 13. Sleeve the roll 12 onto the three placement rollers 4. Neatly store the test strip roll 13 on the roll 12, ensuring it extends from the outlet between the placement seat 1 and the top frame 2. Install the mounting seat 5 at the outlet of the placement seat 1. Install the connecting seat 6 onto the mounting seat 5 with bolts. Connect the connecting seat 6 to the conveyor roller 7 to ensure the test strip roll 13 can be smoothly placed on the conveyor roller 7. Install the linear motion actuator 8 at the outlet of the top frame 2. Connect the connector 9 to the telescopic end of the linear motion actuator 8 with threads. Secure the knife holder 10 to the connector 9 with bolts. The cutting blade 11 is bolted to the blade holder 10 to ensure precise positioning and cutting effect. A bearing device is installed between the conveyor roller 7 and the connecting seat 6 to reduce friction during conveying and improve the conveying efficiency of the test paper roll 13. The mounting seat 5 and the placement seat 1 are fixed together by welding to ensure structural stability. The top frame 2 and the placement seat 1 are integrated, and the upper end of the top frame 2 has a round hole for easy bolt fixing to the linear motion actuator 8.

[0033] In use: Turn on the conveyor roller 7 to allow the test strip roll 13 to move smoothly onto it. Ensure the test strip roll 13 extends from the outlet between the placement seat 1 and the top frame 2 for easy access to the next step. Activate the linear motion actuator 8, allowing its telescopic end to drive the cutting blade 11 for precise cutting. Ensure the cutting blade 11 is aligned with the test strip roll 13 moving on the conveyor roller 7 and performs a precise cut. After cutting, remove the cut test strip from the conveyor roller 7. Check the cutting accuracy and neatness of the test strip to ensure it meets usage requirements. Regularly inspect and maintain the conveyor roller 7, linear motion actuator 8, and cutting blade 11 to ensure normal operation of the equipment. If necessary, adjust the connection between the connector 9 and the blade holder 10 to maintain the precise position and cutting effect of the cutting blade 11.
