Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pyrotechnics processing technology, specifically relating to a high-precision, high-quality, safe and universal cutting device for detonating cord. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component in commonly used pyrotechnic systems, the cutting quality of detonating cord directly affects detonation effects and safety requirements. In detonation transmission components and explosion networks, flexible detonating cords of varying lengths are frequently used. Current processes require cutting 10m-class detonating cords to millimeter-level precision. Traditional methods, such as direct cutting with a scalpel or circumferential cutting, have significant drawbacks: direct cutting is prone to incomplete cross-section deformation due to metal layer thickness limitations; circumferential cutting is prone to spiral cuts and cross-section skew due to variations in manual operation. Furthermore, the insufficient precision of manual marking (often exceeding ±2mm) results in millimeter-level length variations in the detonating cord, severely impacting the timing control and synchronization requirements of nanosecond-level explosion networks. In addition, manual fixing easily damages the roundness of the detonating cord, and burrs from ordinary cutting not only reduce detonation reliability but may even cause premature detonation, posing a risk of pre-detonation and endangering operational safety.

[0003] Therefore, designing a cable cutter that combines precise positioning, stable clamping, and efficient cutting to improve the length accuracy and cross-sectional quality of detonating cord has become a key technical requirement for enhancing the performance of explosive networks and ensuring the safety of pyrotechnic systems.
