Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of beekeeping machinery, and in particular to a wax-cutting machine for beekeeping base strips, used for cutting wax from beekeeping base strips. Background Technology
[0002] In beekeeping, the bee cell base is the site where bees produce royal jelly within the hive. The bee cell base consists of a main strip with rows of holes. It is hung in a royal jelly frame via loops at both ends, and the frame is then installed inside the hive. During royal jelly production, worker bees deposit beeswax around the bee cell base while being fed. Before mechanized royal jelly extraction, the beeswax on the bee cell base needs to be cut off to allow it to be securely attached to the extraction equipment. Currently, a bee cell cutter is used for mechanized bee wax cutting of the bee cell base.
[0003] Traditional beeswax cutting machines consist of a base and a sliding blade holder. Cutting blades are mounted on both the front and rear sides of the blade holder, with a cantilever rotatably connected to the blade holder. A pressure roller is located at the end of the cantilever. The cutting blade is rectangular and fits the beeswax strip. During operation, the cutting blade is fitted over the strip, and the blade holder is pushed, causing the cutting blade to move along the strip. The pressure roller presses against the strip and moves synchronously to prevent the strip from tilting upwards and being damaged by the cutting blade. Due to the special properties of beeswax, this structure makes movement on the strip very difficult, requiring considerable force. This makes cutting difficult and easily damages the strip due to excessive force when moving the blade holder. In fact, this double-sided cutting blade structure is difficult to accept by customers due to its low practical value. Furthermore, the pressure roller's downward positioning effect on the strip is not ideal; in fact, beeswax can get into the roller axle, making it difficult for the roller to roll and requiring frequent maintenance. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a platform-based strip wax cutter that allows for easier operation of the blade holder sliding compared to previous methods. To this end, this invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] A wax cutting machine for base strips includes a base, a sliding blade holder, a guide rail, a cutting blade, and a base strip pressing mechanism. The base is provided with a base strip mounting position, and the sliding blade holder is slidably connected to the guide rail. The characteristic feature is that the sliding blade holder is provided with a cutting blade only on one side, and the base strip pressing mechanism is provided on the side of the sliding blade holder where the cutting blade is located.
[0006] Based on the above technical solutions, the present invention may also adopt the following further technical solutions, or combine these further technical solutions:
[0007] The cutter has a rectangular tube structure. The inner hole of the rectangular tube is adapted to fit the base strip and can be placed on the base strip mounting position. The front edges of all four sides of the rectangular tube are set as cutting edges. The upper and lower front ends of the rectangular tube protrude forward to form a pointed tip, and the two sides of the pointed tip are inclined backward to the two sides. The inclined sides of the pointed tip are all cutting edges.
[0008] The pressure plate base bar mechanism uses a cantilever steel sheet, which can elastically press the base bar in front of the blade.
[0009] The cantilever steel sheet has a pressure base strip at the cantilever end, and the pressure base strip is configured as an arc-shaped downward pressing structure, with the end of the arc-shaped downward pressing structure curving upward in an arc shape.
[0010] The main body of the cantilever steel sheet is fixed to the sliding tool holder by a threaded connector. The main body has a wide side, and the cantilever steel sheet bends downward at the front of the main body. The downward bend extends to the pressure base of the cantilever steel sheet, and the downward bend gradually narrows from both sides to the middle.
[0011] The cutter has a rectangular tube structure. The inner hole of the rectangular tube is adapted to fit the base strip and can be placed on the base strip mounting position. The front edges of all four sides of the rectangular tube are set as cutting edges. The front middle of the upper and lower sides of the rectangular tube protrudes forward to form a pointed tip. The two sides of the pointed tip slope backward to the two sides, and the sloped sides of the pointed tip are all cutting edges. It gradually narrows from the two sides to the middle and is located directly in front of the pointed tip.
[0012] There is a small groove on both sides of the base strip of the pressure table where it connects with the downward bending part, which gradually narrows from both sides to the middle.
[0013] By employing the technical solution of this utility model, which uses only a single-sided cutter, the frictional resistance that needs to be overcome to slide the cutter holder is significantly reduced, allowing for easy operation of the cutter holder. Although it cannot perform back-and-forth wax cutting, the effortless operation of the cutter holder enables rapid wax cutting, making it practical and improving work efficiency and operational quality. Furthermore, this utility model also improves the blade and base strip positioning mechanism, enabling it to be used in conjunction with the single-sided cutter, resulting in better wax cutting and base strip positioning, and a longer service life.

[0020] Referring to the accompanying drawings, this utility model provides a base strip wax cutting machine, including a base 1, a sliding blade holder 2, a guide rail 3, a cutting blade 4, and a pressing base strip mechanism. The sliding blade holder 2 is slidably connected to the guide rail 3 and can be pushed to move back and forth along the sliding blade holder 2. The guide rail 3 is mounted on the base 1, and the base 1 is also provided with a mounting position 11 for the base strip 100. As shown in the figure, the cutting blade 3 is provided on only one side of the sliding blade holder 1, and the pressing base strip mechanism is provided on the side of the sliding blade holder 1 where the cutting blade 3 is located.
[0021] The cutter 4 has a rectangular tube structure. The inner hole 40 of the rectangular tube is adapted to fit the base strip and can be placed on the base strip 100 in the placement position. The front edges of the four sides of the rectangular tube are all set as blades 41, 42, 43, and 44. The front middle of the upper side 41 and the lower side 43 of the rectangular tube protrudes forward to form tips 411 and 431. The tips 411 and 431 are inclined backward to the two side edges 42 and 44. The inclined edges on both sides of the tips, that is, the front edges of the upper side 41 and the lower side 42, are all blades.
[0022] In this invention, the pressure plate mechanism is further constructed using a cantilever steel plate 5, which elastically presses down on the base plate 100 in front of the blade. The cantilever steel plate 5 has a pressure plate portion 50. Although, compared to conventional pressure rollers (theoretically rolling friction), the pressure plate portion 50 and the wax on the back of the base plate undergo sliding friction during wax cutting, due to the properties of the wax itself and the motion characteristics of this invention, the wax rolls more smoothly on the wax surface than a roller, without malfunctions or requiring maintenance. Reference numeral 200 illustrates the beeswax on the surface of the base plate to be cut.
[0023] The root of the cantilever steel plate 5 is fixed to the sliding tool holder 2 by a threaded connector. The pressure plate base strip portion 50 is provided at the cantilever end of the cantilever steel plate 5. The pressure plate base strip portion 50 is provided with an arc-shaped downward pressing structure, and the end of the arc-shaped downward pressing structure is curved upward 501.
[0024] The main body (including its root) of the cantilever steel sheet 5 is wide. The cantilever steel sheet 5 bends downward at the front of the main body, extending downward to the pressure base strip 50 of the cantilever steel sheet 5. The downward bending portion 51 gradually narrows from both sides towards the middle. The portion that gradually narrows from both sides towards the middle is located directly in front of the tips 411 and 431, and works in conjunction with the tips 411 and 531 and the oblique cutting edges on both sides to achieve a better chip removal (cut wax fragments) effect.
[0025] On both sides of the base strip portion 50 of the pressure platform, there is a small groove 502 at the point where it connects with the downwardly bent portion 51, which gradually narrows from both sides to the middle, so that the base strip portion 50 of the pressure platform has better contact performance and self-adaptability with the back of the step strip.
[0026] The above description is only a specific embodiment of the present utility model, but the structural features of the present utility model are not limited thereto. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the present utility model are covered by the protection scope of the present utility model.
