Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of automobile air outlets, in particular to a cutting tool for an air outlet grille. BACKGROUND

[0002] An automobile air conditioner air outlet grille is an important component of an automobile air conditioning system and is used for adjusting the direction and volume of air. The air outlet grille directly affects the air flow speed, flow direction and flow field organization in the vehicle, and further affects the performance of the air conditioning system, the quietness in the vehicle and the comfort of passengers. Therefore, the production and manufacturing technology of the automobile air outlet grille is particularly important. The cutting of the air outlet grille is a key link in the automobile manufacturing process. The air outlet grille is generally made by mold injection, and a group of molds can simultaneously generate multiple groups of grilles. However, due to the flow of raw materials in the mold, the grilles in each group are connected to each other after forming, and then need to be cut off. The traditional cutting method usually relies on manual operation, which is not only low in efficiency, but also difficult to ensure the cutting accuracy, and is easy to cause inconsistent product sizes, affecting the subsequent assembly and use effect. Moreover, manual cutting also has a high safety risk, for example, the operator needs to hold the blank by hand and cut it with a power saw or other tools, which not only easily leads to inaccurate product sizes, but also easily causes safety accidents. In order to solve the above problems, a cutting tool specially used for the air outlet grille appears. This traditional cutting tool can only perform single cutting operation, and needs multiple clamping and adjustment, resulting in low processing efficiency. In addition, the cutting blade position in the traditional cutting tool is fixed and cannot be adjusted, so the cutting angle is fixed and it is difficult to meet various cutting demands. SUMMARY
