Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of lobster tail cutting equipment, and in particular to a punching mechanism for a lobster tail cutting machine. Background Technology

[0002] A lobster buckle is a decorative item named for its resemblance to a curled-up lobster. Lobster buckles are very common in daily life and have a wide range of uses. They come in various shapes and types and are generally made of various metals. Colors include silver, gold, and black, and these colors can be combined with other accessories in different ways.

[0003] The lobster buckle mainly consists of three parts: the buckle body, a trigger, and a torsion spring. To connect the lobster buckle to the connecting ring (a connecting ring is provided between the lobster buckle and the figure-eight buckle), a through hole is provided at the tail end of the lobster buckle body. In existing technology, the through hole can be formed by directly winding a wire around it, or by forming it through mold assembly. The former method lacks structural strength and is generally not used, while the latter creates a tail strip at the tail end of the lobster buckle body, which needs to be cut off. Currently, the tail strip is usually cut after the lobster buckle body is formed, and it is primarily done manually. Because the connection between the tail strip and the lobster buckle is quite strong, this method is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with low cutting accuracy and a high defect rate. Furthermore, even when using equipment to cut the tail strip, the lobster buckle body needs to be placed in a fixed position before using a cutter, making high-speed cutting impossible and resulting in low efficiency. Currently, there is no technical solution for accurately cutting the tail strip, and improvements are needed to achieve faster and more precise tail strip removal. Utility Model Content

[0004] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a punching mechanism for a lobster tail-cutting machine.
