[0036] During the cutting process of cigarettes, filter rods, and cigarette paper, a large amount of impurities such as smoke dust, paper dust, and glue residue are generated. Some of these impurities adhere to the cutter or the rotating shaft connected to the cutter, while others are scattered everywhere. The accumulation of impurities on the cutter surface affects the cutting quality of cigarettes, filter rods, and cigarette paper awaiting cutting. To address this, existing technology provides a waste removal device with a waste removal slider that can scrape off the waste adhering to the cutter surface. However, this device has a problem: the cutter is mounted on a slotted plate base, which presents the following issues: firstly, the slotted plate base only serves as a mounting structure for the cutter and cannot prevent the impurities generated during cutting from scattering everywhere; secondly, it also allows external dust to float to the cutter, affecting the cutting effect.

[0037] In response, this embodiment provides a cutting assembly to solve the problem that the waste removal device in the prior art cannot prevent impurities from floating everywhere, and causes external dust to float to the cutting edge, affecting the cutting effect. It can be used in the field of cutting technology, specifically in cigarette making machines, and for cutting cigarette sticks, filter rods and cigarette paper and other materials waiting to be cut.

[0038] Reference Figures 1-6 The cutting assembly includes a housing 1, a cutting blade 2, and a scraping structure 3. The housing 1 has an inner cavity 101 and an opening 102 communicating with the inner cavity 101. The cutting blade 2 includes a rotating shaft 21 rotatable relative to the housing 1 and a blade 22 disposed on the rotating shaft 21. The rotating shaft 21 is disposed in the inner cavity 101, and part of the blade 22 extends from the opening 102. The blade 22 is used to cut the item to be cut. The rotating shaft 21 can rotate relative to the housing 1 to drive the blade 22 to rotate, thereby cutting the item to be cut. In this embodiment, a base 23 is also provided. The base 23 is mounted on the housing 1, and the rotating shaft 21 is mounted on the base 23. The base 23 is used to drive the rotating shaft 21 to rotate relative to the housing 1. In addition, in this embodiment, the item to be cut is a cigarette, filter rod, or cigarette paper, etc., while in other embodiments, the item to be cut can also be printing paper, packaging paper, etc. The scraping structure 3 is fixedly disposed on the housing 1 and can contact the blade 22 to scrape off impurities on the surface of the blade 22. In this cutting assembly, due to the design of the housing 1, only the necessary opening 102 is retained for the blade 22 to extend, which facilitates cutting. Most of the impurities scraped off by the scraping structure 3 will remain in the inner cavity 101 and will not drift to the environment where the cutting assembly is located. Furthermore, external dust will not fall onto the cutting blade 2 and the scraping structure 3, thus ensuring the scraping effect. In addition, the design of the housing 1 can also prevent the cutting blade 2 and the scraping structure 3 from being misaligned or damaged due to collisions with external structures.

[0039] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6The housing 1 includes a mounting bracket 11 and a cover plate 12 movably disposed on the mounting bracket 11. The rotating shaft 21 is rotatable relative to the mounting bracket 11. The inner cavity 101 includes a first cavity 1011 located inside the mounting bracket 11 and a second cavity 1012 located inside the cover plate 12. The opening 102 communicates with the second cavity 1012. The rotating shaft 21 extends from the first cavity 1011 to the second cavity 1012, so that the main body of the blade 22 is disposed in the second cavity 1012, and a portion of the blade 22 extends out from the opening 102. The extended portion of the blade 22 is used to cut the item to be cut.

[0040] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6 The scraping structure 3 includes a scraper mounting base 31 fixedly mounted on the mounting frame 11 and a scraper 32 fixedly mounted on the scraper mounting base 31. The scraper 32 is disposed in the second cavity 1012 and can contact the blade 22 to scrape away impurities from the surface of the blade 22. Specifically, the scraper mounting base 31 extends from the first cavity 1011 to the second cavity 1012. The scraper mounting base 31 can be bolted to the inner wall of the mounting frame 11, making the scraper mounting base 31 detachably connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 11.

[0041] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6 The scraper mounting base 31 has two mounting portions 311 spaced apart. There are two scrapers 32. The two scrapers 32 are respectively disposed on the mounting portions 311, and the two scrapers 32 can contact the two sides of the blade 22 respectively, so as to scrape the two sides of the blade 22 simultaneously to remove impurities from the two sides of the blade 22.

[0042] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6 The cover plate 12 is rotatably connected to the mounting bracket 11 via a hinge 13, and the opening 102 is located on the side of the cover plate 12 away from the hinge 13. By rotating the cover plate 12 onto the mounting bracket 11, the first cavity 1011 can be opened. After rotating the cover plate 12 to open the first cavity 1011, the blade 22, the scraping structure 3, and part of the rotating shaft 21 can extend out of the first cavity 1011, exposing the above structures and making it convenient for the user to clean or replace the blade 22 or the scraping structure 3.

[0043] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6 The cover plate 12 is also provided with a handle 121 to facilitate the operator to open or close the cover plate 12. In addition, the handle 121 is located on the side of the cover plate 12 away from the hinge 13, so as to facilitate the operator to apply force.

[0044] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6The housing 1 also has a negative pressure interface 103 communicating with the inner cavity 101. The cutting blade assembly also includes a negative pressure dust removal structure, which generates negative pressure to draw out gas and impurities from the inner cavity 101 through the negative pressure interface 103. Thus, after the impurities on the surface of the blade 22 are scraped off by the scraping structure 3, the impurities can be drawn out of the inner cavity 101 through the negative pressure dust removal structure, keeping the inner cavity 101 clean and preventing excessive accumulation of impurities in the inner cavity 101, which would affect the cutting performance of the blade 22. Specifically, the negative pressure dust removal structure is connected to the housing 1 through a negative pressure dust removal pipe 4, the inner cavity of which is connected to the negative pressure interface 103. The negative pressure dust removal structure is a common structure in the art, and its negative pressure generation principle and specific structure will not be described in detail here.

[0045] Optionally, the inner wall of the housing 1 is further provided with a guide groove 1031, and the negative pressure port 103 is connected to the guide groove 1031, through which gas and impurities can be guided into the negative pressure port 103. Optionally, the groove wall of the guide groove 1031 is flush with part of the hole wall of the negative pressure port 103 and part of the pipe wall of the negative pressure dust removal pipe 4, which can reduce the resistance of gas and impurities when flowing in the inner cavity of the guide groove 1031, the negative pressure port 103 and the negative pressure dust removal pipe 4.

[0046] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6 The negative pressure port 103 is located at the end of the housing 1 away from the opening 102. Specifically, the negative pressure port 103 is located at the end of the mounting bracket 11 away from the cover plate 12. The negative pressure port 103 is connected to the first cavity 1011. This arrangement allows impurities to be drawn into the end of the housing 1 away from the opening 102 as much as possible, that is, into the first cavity 1011, to prevent impurities from accumulating in the second cavity 1012 and affecting the operation of the blade 22. At the same time, it prevents impurities from floating out of the inner cavity 101 through the opening 102 connected to the second cavity 1012.

[0047] Continue to refer to Figures 1-6 The housing 1 is provided with an observation hole, and a transparent window 14 is installed in the observation hole. In this embodiment, the observation hole is located on the cover plate 12, and the transparent window 14 is located on the cover plate 12, so that the handle 121 and the transparent window 14 are all concentrated on the cover plate 12. The blade 22, the scraping structure 3, and part of the rotating shaft 21 are all located in the second cavity 1012. After rotating the cover plate 12 to open the first cavity 1011, the blade 22, the scraping structure 3, and part of the rotating shaft 21 can extend out of the first cavity 1011. That is to say, the above structures are all located near the cover plate 12, and the operator can stand near the cover plate 1 to observe or operate the above structures. The base 23 and the negative pressure dust removal pipe 4 are both set on the mounting frame 11 to facilitate the connection of other equipment. In order to facilitate the connection of the negative pressure dust removal pipe 4, the negative pressure dust removal structure can also be set near the mounting frame 11. In other embodiments, the observation hole can also be opened on the mounting frame 11, and the transparent window 14 can be set on the mounting frame 11.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
