[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clear and complete, the embodiments of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only some, not all, embodiments of this utility model, and are merely used to explain the embodiments of this utility model. They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0027] Example 1, please refer to Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a trimming device for the edge of knitted hats, comprising: a hollow cylinder 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the knitted cap is placed on the outer side of the upper end of the hollow cylinder 1 from top to bottom, and the edge of the knitted cap is turned outward.

[0028] Specifically, a guide ring 2 is fixedly installed on the outside of the hollow cylinder 1, and a slider 3 is slidably sleeved on the outside of the guide ring 2. The slider 3 can only slide along the length direction of the guide ring 2. The slider 3 itself is cylindrical and has an arc-shaped through hole inside that matches the guide ring 2. A trimmer 5 is installed above the slider 3 through a connecting frame 4. When the slider 3 slides, it can drive the trimmer 5 to move accordingly.

[0029] Furthermore, the trimmer 5 includes a mounting plate 6 and a protective cover 7, which are snapped together. The protective cover 7 is a cylindrical structure with an opening at one end. Multiple evenly distributed air intake holes 71 are provided on the front of the protective cover 7, allowing airflow. This airflow then carries the loose threads from the knitted cap into the inner cavity of the protective cover 7. A blade holder 8, driven by a drive motor 9, is rotatably mounted inside the protective cover 7. The drive motor 9 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 6. A fan blade 81 is fixed to the blade holder 8, and the fan blade 81 is inclined. A blade 811 is fixed to the fan blade 81, and the cutting edge of the blade 811 is in contact with the inner wall of the front of the protective cover 7. When the drive motor 9 operates, it drives the blade holder 8, the fan blade 81, and the blade 811 to rotate together. Figure 5 As shown, both the fan blade 81 and the blade 811 are inclined, so when they rotate, they can drive the air to flow along the axial direction of the protective cover 7, thereby drawing the air outside the protective cover 7 into the inner cavity of the protective cover 7 through the air intake hole 71. The reaction force generated by the air flow on the trimmer 5 can press the trimmer 5 onto the surface of the knitted cap. At this time, the air flow can drive the thread ends on the surface of the knitted cap through the air intake hole 71 into the inner cavity of the protective cover 7, and then the blade 811 rotates to cut and trim the thread ends that have entered the inner cavity of the protective cover 7.

[0030] To drive the tool holder 8 to rotate, this application also includes a motor compartment 62 formed by an inward recess in the middle of the mounting plate 6 for mounting the drive motor 9, and a bushing 82 for inserting and fixing the output shaft of the drive motor 9 is fixedly provided in the middle of the tool holder 8. Figure 5 As shown, the inner cavity of the bushing 82 is a non-circular irregular slot structure, and the output shaft of the drive motor 9 is adapted to it.

[0031] To improve trimming efficiency, the fan blades 81 of this application are provided in a plurality of circular arrays, and the blades 811 on the fan blades 81 are coplanar with them, such as... Figure 5 As shown, multiple fan blades 81 can be fitted with multiple blades 811 to improve the efficiency of trimming wire ends and at the same time increase the flow rate of the driving airflow.

[0032] To secure the bushing 82, the tool holder 8 of this application includes two hard rings concentric with the bushing 82. A stiffening plate is fixed between the hard ring near the bushing 82 and the surface of the bushing 82, and the stiffening plate is inclined. The two hard rings can improve the stability of the fan blade plate 81 installation. The stiffening plate is inclined in the same direction as the fan blade plate 81. On the one hand, it is used to connect the hard ring and the bushing 82, and on the other hand, it can assist in driving airflow.

[0033] To expel air from the inner cavity of the protective cover 7, this application further includes an annular partition 61 fixed to the inner side of the mounting plate 6, with a gap between the annular partition 61 and the inner wall of the protective cover 7. The annular partition 61 has a slag discharge port 611 on its side wall, and the protective cover 7 has an exhaust port 72 on its side wall. Figure 6 and Figure 4 As shown, after the air outside the protective cover 7 enters the inner cavity of the protective cover 7, the air flow path is as follows: from the inside of the annular partition 61, it passes through the slag discharge port 611 and enters the gap between the annular partition 61 and the protective cover 7, and then passes through the exhaust port 72 to be discharged to the outside of the protective cover 7.

[0034] To prevent waste residue from scattering, this application further includes a baffle 612 and a filter plate 613 installed in the gap between the mounting plate 6 and the protective cover 7. Both the baffle 612 and the filter plate 613 are fixed to the annular partition 61. Multiple baffles 612, discharge ports 611, filter plates 613, and exhaust ports 72 are arranged in a circular array, with each array spaced apart sequentially. Figure 6 As shown, after air enters the gap between the annular partition 61 and the protective cover 7 through the slag discharge port 611, it will be blocked by the baffle 612. The air can only pass through the filter plate 613 and then be discharged from the exhaust port 72. The filter plate 613 is designed to filter the wire waste carried in the air, thereby preventing the wire waste generated after trimming from being discharged into the surrounding air and scattered. In other words, the trimmed wire waste will remain in the gap between the annular partition 61 and the protective cover 7. After using this device for a long time, the protective cover 7 can be removed from the mounting plate 6 to dispose of the wire waste.

[0035] To facilitate smoother airflow around the trimmer 5, this application further includes through holes 11 and 12 at the upper and lower ends of the side wall of the hollow cylinder 1, respectively. Figure 2 As shown, when air flows around the trimmer 5, due to the large gap between the needles in the knitted cap, the air inside the hollow cylinder 1 can flow through the knitted cap. This ensures smooth airflow and prevents the trimmer 5 from fitting too tightly with the knitted cap, thus blocking airflow. It also blows out some loose threads hidden inside the knitted cap. Furthermore, an annular plate 21 is fixedly connected between the guide ring 2 and the hollow cylinder 1. Figure 2 As shown, the thickness of the annular plate 21 is less than the cross-sectional diameter of the guide ring 2. The annular plate 21 is used to position the guide ring 2 and ensure that the guide ring 2 is concentric with the hollow cylinder 1.

[0036] In order to drive the slider 3 to slide, this application also has an annular pad 22 fixed on the surface of the annular plate 21, and a roller 32 driven by a motor installed on the outside of the slider 3, with the surface of the roller 32 in contact with the annular pad 22. The motor drives the roller 32 to roll on the surface of the annular pad 22, thereby enabling the slider 3 to slide along the length direction of the guide ring 2.

[0037] For the installation of the trimmer 5, this application also includes a slot 31 formed on the outer wall of the slider 3, an elastic plate 41 fixed to the lower end of the connecting frame 4, and the elastic plate 41 movably engaging with the inner cavity of the slot 31. The upper end of the connecting frame 4 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 6 on the trimmer 5. Figure 3 As shown, the connecting frame 4 can rotate around the slider 3 at a certain angle outside the slider 3, thereby ensuring that the trimmer 5 can approach or move away from the knitted cap fitted on the outside of the hollow cylinder 1.

[0038] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
