[0037] Example 1:

[0038] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, the blade holder mechanism of the flexible material cutting machine of this utility model includes a storage box 1. A first fixing frame 2 is fixedly connected to the left side of the front outer side of the storage box 1, and the storage box 1 fixes the first fixing frame 2. A pushing component is provided inside the storage box 1. A first connecting frame 21 is rotatably connected to the inside of the first fixing frame 2, and the first fixing frame 2 limits the first connecting frame 21 so that the first connecting frame 21 can rotate around the connection position between the first fixing frame 2 and the first connecting frame 21. A first buckle 22 is engaged with the left side of the first connecting frame 21. A blade outlet box 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the first buckle 22, and the blade outlet box 3 fixes the first buckle 22. The engagement of the first connecting frame 21 and the first buckle 22 engages the front end of the storage box 1 and the blade outlet box 3. A second buckle 27 is fixedly connected to the rear end of the blade outlet box 3, and the blade outlet box 3 fixes the second buckle 27. A locking component is provided on the left side of the rear end of the storage box 1.

[0039] The pushing component includes a first spring 12. A first groove 11 is provided inside the storage box 1. The first spring 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the first groove 11. The storage box 1 fixes the first spring 12 to the right end of the inner side of the first groove 11. A slider 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the first spring 12. The first spring 12 fixes the slider 13 and connects the right end of the inner side of the first groove 11 to the slider 13. The slider 13 is slidably connected to the storage box 1. The first groove 11 inside the storage box 1 limits the slider 13. The first groove 11 has upper and lower opposite grooves inside to limit the first spring 12, so that the upper and lower ends of the first spring 12 always slide within the grooves inside the first groove 11, thereby ensuring the operational stability of the device.

[0040] The locking assembly includes a second fixing frame 23. The second fixing frame 23 is fixedly connected to the rear left end of the storage box 1, securing the second fixing frame 23 via the storage box 1. A transmission frame 24 is rotatably connected to the inner left end of the second fixing frame 23, limiting the transmission frame 24 so that it can rotate around the connection point between the second fixing frame 23 and the transmission frame 24. A second connecting frame 26 is rotatably connected to the middle left end of the transmission frame 24, limiting its position. Because the connection position between the second connecting frame 26 and the transmission frame 24 is different from the connection position between the second fixing frame 23 and the second connecting frame 26, ... When the transmission frame 24 is rotated to the right, the right end of the second connecting frame 26 is pulled to the right, causing the second connecting frame 26 to move to the right. The left side of the transmission frame 24 is fixedly connected to the second spring 25. The top of the second spring 25 is fixed by the transmission frame 24. The outer side of the bottom end of the second spring 25 is engaged with the second connecting frame 26. The second spring 25 drives the transmission frame 24 to rotate clockwise around the connection point between the second fixed frame 23 and the transmission frame 24 with the second connecting frame 26 as the stress point. The second connecting frame 26 is engaged with the second buckle 27. The second connecting frame 26 and the second buckle 27 are engaged with each other to fix the rear side of the storage box 1 and the knife box 3.

[0041] A second groove 31 is provided on the right side of the inner side of the knife box 3, and a third groove 32 is provided on the bottom side of the inner side of the knife box 3. A channel is formed by setting the second groove 31 and the third groove 32.

[0042] The top left side of the blade ejector box 3 is fixedly connected to an electric push rod 33 that is opposite to the front and back. The blade ejector box 3 fixes the electric push rod 33. The top of the electric push rod 33 is fixedly connected to a transmission rod 34. The bottom right side of the transmission rod 34 is fixedly connected to a sliding frame 35. The transmission rod 34 connects the electric push rod 33 and the sliding frame 35. At the same time, the electric push rod 33 extends and retracts, and the transmission rod 34 drives the sliding frame 35 to rise and fall. The bottom of the sliding frame 35 has a groove, and the sliding frame 35 is slidably connected to the blade ejector box 3.

[0043] The bottom of the blade ejector box 3 is fixedly connected to the limit frame 4, and the limit frame 4 is fixed by the blade ejector box 3. The inner side of the bottom of the limit frame 4 is provided with a slot 41.

[0044] The first slide groove 11 has uniformly distributed cutting tools 14 slidably connected to it. The first slide groove 11 inside the storage box 1 limits the cutting tools 14. The cutting tools 14 are slidably connected to the second slide groove 31, the third slide groove 32, and the slot 41.

[0045] A wear-resistant layer is provided on the inner side of the card slot 41. By providing a wear-resistant layer on the inner side of the card slot 41, the service life of the device is increased. The wear-resistant layer is made of A356 aluminum alloy / silicon carbide composite material, which has the characteristics of lightweight, high strength, excellent wear resistance, good corrosion resistance, good thermal conductivity and low coefficient of thermal expansion, and can meet the use requirements of the equipment.

[0046] Working principle: When the blade holder mechanism of the flexible material cutting machine is running, the blade 14 is first placed into the first slide groove 11, compressing the first spring 12. Then, the first connecting frame 21 at the front end of the storage box 1 is engaged with the first buckle 22 at the front end of the blade outlet box 3. Then, the rear transmission frame 24 is lifted to the rear, and the second connecting frame 26 is engaged into the inside of the second buckle 27. Then, the second spring 25 drives the transmission frame 24 to rotate clockwise around the connection point between the second fixed frame 23 and the transmission frame 24, thereby pulling the second connecting frame 26 to the right and engaging the second buckle 27, thus connecting the storage box 1 and the blade outlet box 3. After that, the device is installed on the cutting machine. When changing blades, the electric push rod 33 drives the sliding frame 35 to move downward via the transmission rod 34. The sliding frame 35 engages with the cutter 14 through a groove at its bottom, causing the cutter 14 to move downwards as the sliding frame 35 moves downwards. Finally, the bottom of the cutter 14 is locked in place by a slot 41, and the top of the cutter 14 is also locked in place by the groove at the bottom of the sliding frame 35. The thickness of the electric push rod 33 is the same as that of the third sliding groove 32, allowing only a single cutter 14 to pass through. This design allows for cutter replacement with the help of external equipment. This design not only allows for a large storage capacity of cutters 14, but also enables the entire device to be removed and replaced after the cutters 14 are used up, thus reducing the impact on the cutting machine. Furthermore, the device is designed as a split unit, allowing the cutters 14 to be added back to the storage box 1 after use, thus enabling the device to be reused.

For example, in the claims, any of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination.

[0048] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and not to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
