Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pen tip processing device, specifically a pen tip cutting device. Background Technology

[0002] In the pen tip manufacturing process, sintered nibs, fiber nibs, and nylon nibs often initially take the form of long strips. These long strips need to be cut into several nibs of suitable shorter dimensions to meet the needs of subsequent production and use. Currently, in actual pen tip cutting operations, long strips of pen tips are generally placed onto cutting equipment manually for cutting. During cutting, the cutting blade needs to be pressed down manually, and after cutting, the nibs need to be removed manually and placed into a receiving frame. This traditional manual operation mode has many drawbacks. On the one hand, manual operation has limited speed, making it difficult to achieve large-scale, high-efficiency production, resulting in a long processing time for the entire pen tip manufacturing process. On the other hand, manual operation requires a large investment of labor costs, and long hours of repetitive labor can easily cause operator fatigue, thus affecting cutting accuracy and product quality, while also increasing the company's operating costs. Therefore, developing a device that can efficiently cut pen tips is the direction that researchers in this field intend to explore. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To provide a more intuitive and complete understanding of the technical solution of this utility model, the following non-limiting features are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:

[0018] like Figure 1 — Figure 5 As shown, a pen tip cutting device includes a worktable 1. The top of the worktable 1 has an arc-shaped groove 11 that extends forward and backward for pen tips to be inserted. A stop block 2 is fixed at the rear end of the worktable 1, located behind the arc-shaped groove 11. The middle of the worktable 1 has a vertically penetrating and horizontally extending movable groove 12, which communicates with the arc-shaped groove 11. The pen tip cutting device also includes a cutting mechanism 3, which includes a drive device located below the worktable 1 and a cutting blade 32 connected to the drive device. The upper end of the cutting blade 32 has a blade 321 for cutting pen tips, which passes through the movable groove 12. A clamping device 4 is installed at the front end of the top of the worktable 1. The clamping device 4 includes a pressure head 41 for pressing down the pen tip. A pushing mechanism 5 is installed at the left end of the worktable 1. The pushing mechanism 5 includes a pushing plate 51 located on the left side of the arc-shaped groove 11. The front and upper ends of the arc groove 11 are open, and the lower end of the pen tip is inserted into the arc groove 11, while the rest of the pen tip is exposed outside the arc groove 11. The arc groove 11 is designed to allow the pen tip to be conveyed in the arc groove 11. Only the lower end of the pen tip is inserted into the arc groove 11. This design is to make it easier to push the pen tip out of the arc groove 11 when the pusher plate 51 pushes the pen tip to the right.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, the clamping device 4 also includes a bracket 42 fixed to the top of the front end of the worktable 1, and a first slide cylinder 43 extending laterally and fixed to the top of the bracket 42. The upper end of the first slide cylinder 43 has a first slide 431, and the right end of the first slide 431 is fixed with a second slide cylinder 44 extending vertically. The right end of the second slide cylinder 44 has a second slide 441, and the pressure head 41 is fixed to the bottom of the second slide 441. The pressure head 41 is used to press down on the top of the pen tip to be cut, improving the stability of the pen tip during cutting. The first slide cylinder 43 is used to control the left and right movement of the pressure head 41. For pen tips of different sizes, the position of the pressure head 41 can be finely adjusted by the first slide cylinder 43. The second slide cylinder 44 is used to control the up and down movement of the pressure head 41.

[0020] like Figure 4 As shown, the driving device is a linear module 31 arranged in the left-right direction. The upper end of the linear module 31 has a third slide 311, and the cutting blade 32 is fixed to the top of the third slide 311. When the linear module 31 is working, it can drive the cutting blade 32 to move left and right, so the blade 321 can cut the pen tip. The cutting blade 32 is preferably an ultrasonic cutting blade.

[0021] like Figure 2 As shown, the pushing mechanism 5 includes a pushing cylinder 52 that extends left and right and is fixed to the top of the left end of the worktable 1. A fixing plate 53 is fixed to the piston rod end of the right end of the pushing cylinder 52, and the right end of the fixing plate 53 is fixedly connected to the left end of the pushing plate 51. When the pushing cylinder 52 is working, it can drive the pushing plate 51 to move left and right.

[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a pen tip cutting device also includes a receiving basket 6, which is located below the right end of the worktable 1. When the pusher plate 51 moves to the right, it pushes the pen tip to the right, and the pen tip is pushed into the receiving basket 6.

[0023] During operation, the pen tip to be cut can be fed through the feeding device (not shown in the figure), or the pen tip to be cut can be placed manually. The rear end of the pen tip will be blocked by the stop block 2. The pressure head 41 of the pressing device 4 first presses down on the pen tip, and then the blade 321 of the cutting mechanism 3 moves to the left and cuts the pen tip. After cutting, the pushing cylinder 52 controls the pushing plate 51 to move to the right, pushing the cut pen tip into the receiving frame 6. Then the pushing plate 51 resets, the blade 321 resets, the pressure head 41 resets and releases the pen tip. Then, the remaining pen tip is pushed backward so that the pen tip touches the stop block 2. The pen tips are processed in this way, without the need for manual removal of the cut pen tips one by one.

[0024] The present invention provides a pen tip cutting device that, through automated design, achieves automatic cutting of pen tips, eliminating the need for manual removal of each cut pen tip, greatly shortening production time and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0025] Of course, the above are only preferred embodiments of the present utility model, and do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications and equivalent structural changes made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings should also be included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
