[0002] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 2024113103832, entitled “Material Conveyor and Cutting System”, filed on September 20, 2024, the disclosure of which is considered to be part of the disclosure of this application and is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. Technical Field

[0003] This application relates to the field of electronic cutting machine technology, specifically to material conveyors and cutting systems. Background Technology

[0004] This section provides background information relevant to this application and is not necessarily prior art.

[0005] An electronic cutting machine is a creative assistant that can precisely cut or shape workpiece materials such as film or paper based on preset digital patterns input by the user, thereby helping artisans complete their works. This equipment typically has a working area equipped with cutting components.

[0006] The required length of workpiece material varies depending on the processing needs. To meet this requirement, the industry has developed various roller feeders that can efficiently transport long pieces of material to the electronic cutting machine for cutting.

[0007] Currently, some manufacturers design roller feeders that need to be installed on the front panel of an electronic cutting machine. These feeders have their own material channel and are usually mounted on the upper part of the front panel of the electronic cutting machine. Therefore, a dedicated connecting mechanism needs to be set on the surface of the front panel or the main unit, resulting in a complex overall structure. Summary of the Invention

[0008] One objective of this application is to overcome the problem of complex connection mechanisms between material conveyors and electronic cutting machine main units in the prior art.

[0009] The material conveyor provided in this application includes: a base and a cutting device; the base is configured with a coupling area for loading an electronic cutting machine door panel and a material loading area configured upstream to rotatably define a material roll; the cutting device is connected to the base and spans the coupling area, and is configured with a cutter movable along both sides of the coupling area, the cutter being used to cut the material conveyed via the material loading area to the working surface of the electronic cutting machine door panel in the coupling area.

[0010] The material conveyor provided in this application is connected to the electronic cutting machine door panel through the coupling area of ​​the base. It directly utilizes the cutting device and the working surface of the electronic cutting machine door panel to form a conveying channel. The structure is simple, reduces the material used in the base, and is economical. Since the height difference between the base and the electronic cutting machine door panel is small after the electronic cutting machine door panel is assembled into the coupling area, the workpiece material can be conveyed more smoothly and is less prone to wear and wrinkling.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner side of the coupling area is provided with one or more limiting structures for limiting the position of the electronic cutting machine door panel, which can effectively limit the mating position between the electronic cutting machine door panel and the coupling area.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes one or more first limiting protrusions constructed on the sidewalls of opposite sides of the coupling area. The first limiting protrusions cooperate with the lower side of the electronic cutting machine door panel to limit the height position of the electronic cutting machine door panel, and at the same time play a limiting and guiding role when the electronic cutting machine door panel is engaged in the coupling area, making assembly convenient and quick.

[0013] Furthermore, the limiting structure includes one or more second limiting protrusions constructed on the inner end side of the coupling region to provide support for the edge of the electronic cutting machine door panel.

[0014] Furthermore, the cutting device includes a slide that spans the coupling zone and is connected at both ends to the base, the slide being configured with a groove for slidably mounting the cutter. Furthermore, the chute is constructed with protruding edges on both sides of the material conveying direction to press against the material, thereby reducing the contact area between the material and the cutting device and reducing the risk of material surface damage; on the other hand, the protruding edges can press against the material, making it convenient for the cutter to cut quickly and accurately.

[0015] Furthermore, the material loading area is equipped with a suspension mechanism for suspending the inner hole of the material.

[0016] Specifically, the suspension mechanism includes a suspension rod and a suspension rod connector that connects the suspension rod to the side of the base. Using a suspension mechanism to support the inner hole of the material roll effectively prevents damage to the surface of the material roll.

[0017] Furthermore, the suspension connector is rotatably connected to the base, allowing the suspension mechanism to switch between a suspended position (with the suspension in a suspended state) and a retracted position (with the suspension close to the base). This design effectively reduces the thickness of the base, facilitates packaging and transportation after storage, and is economical.

[0018] As an alternative, the material loading area is configured with a groove for receiving material rolls; or, the material loading area is configured with a groove for receiving material rolls, and one or more rollers are configured at the bottom of the groove.

[0019] Another aspect of this application provides a cutting system comprising: a material conveyor and an electronic cutting machine; the electronic cutting machine has a working area and a door panel on its front side that can be opened or closed. When open, the door panel engages with a coupling area of ​​the material conveyor. The cutting machine is used to cut material conveyed via the material loading area to the working surface of the door panel of the electronic cutting machine. The material conveyor is connected to the door panel via a coupling area of ​​its base, directly utilizing the cutting device to form a conveying channel with the working surface of the door panel. This design is simple, reduces the material used in the base, and is economical. Because the height difference between the base and the door panel is small after the door panel is assembled into the coupling area, the workpiece material can be conveyed more smoothly, and it is less prone to wear and wrinkling.

[0020] Furthermore, the working surface of the door panel is provided with a laterally extending blade avoidance groove, and the blade portion of the cutter extends into the blade avoidance groove. By adopting the above solution, it can be ensured that the workpiece material is completely cut off, while avoiding the blade from cutting into the door panel. Attached Figure Description

[0022] See Figures 1 to 32This application generally relates to a material conveyor a and a cutting system. The material conveyor a is used to supply workpiece material to an electronic cutting machine. Specifically, the material loading area 101 of the material conveyor a is equipped with a material roll. The free end of the material roll is conveyed to the electronic cutting machine via the cutting area 103. When the material conveyed to the electronic cutting machine reaches the desired length, the material is cut by the cutting device 2.

[0023] See Figures 1 to 18 The material conveyor a involved in this application includes: a base 1 and a cutting device 2; the base 1 is configured with a coupling region 102 for loading an electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1, and a material loading region 101 configured upstream to rotatably define a material roll; the cutting device 2 is connected to the base 1 and spans the coupling region 102, and is configured with a cutter 2.1 movable along both sides of the coupling region 102, the cutter 2.1 being used to cut the material conveyed via the material loading region 101 to the working surface of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1 in the coupling region 102.

[0024] The material conveyor a provided in this application is connected to the electronic cutting machine door plate 7.1 by coupling the base 1 through the coupling area 102. The conveying channel is directly formed by the cutting device 2 and the working surface of the electronic cutting machine door plate 7.1. The structure is simple, the material usage of the base a is reduced, and the economy is good. Since the height difference between the base a and the electronic cutting machine door plate 7.1 at the joint position is small after the electronic cutting machine door plate 7.1 is assembled into the coupling area 102, the workpiece material can be conveyed more smoothly and is not easy to wear and wrinkle.

[0025] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 21 and Figure 25 In some embodiments, one or more limiting structures 102' for limiting the position of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1 are constructed inside the coupling area 102. By configuring the limiting structure 102', the matching position of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1 and the coupling area 102 can be effectively limited, avoiding relative movement between the two and ensuring the relative position of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1 and the cutting device 2.

[0026] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the limiting structure 102' includes one or more first limiting protrusions 1021' constructed on the sidewalls of opposite sides of the coupling region 102. The first limiting protrusions 1021' cooperate with the lower side of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1 to limit the height position of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1, and at the same time play a limiting and guiding role when the coupling region 102 is engaged with the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1, so as to facilitate and expedite assembly.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first limiting protrusion 1021' is provided on the sidewalls of opposite sides of the coupling region 102, which can better limit and guide the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 21 and Figure 25 In the illustrated embodiment, each sidewall may have only one first limiting protrusion 1021' and be disposed opposite to each other.

[0028] Of course, in other embodiments, the first limiting protrusions 1021' on the sidewalls of the coupling region 102 on opposite sides can be staggered.

[0029] In other embodiments, the number of first limiting protrusions 1021' can also be selected, such as two or more on one side wall.

[0030] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first limiting protrusion 1021' and the base 1 are injection molded, which results in high consistency and good economy.

[0031] Of course, in other embodiments, the first limiting protrusion 1021' can also be manufactured separately from the base 1 using existing known processes and then assembled into a whole, such as by plug-in or screw connection.

[0032] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 21 and Figure 25 In some embodiments, the limiting structure 102' further includes one or more second limiting protrusions 1022' constructed on the inner end side of the coupling region 102 to provide support for the front edge of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1. In the embodiment shown in the above figures, one second limiting protrusion 1022' is provided, although the number of second limiting protrusions 1022' is optional.

[0033] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 10 , Figure 11 , Figure 21 and Figure 25In some embodiments, a first limiting protrusion 1021' and a second limiting protrusion 1022' are configured simultaneously, which can simultaneously position the front and sides of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1, ensuring that the material conveyor a is installed in place with the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1, and ensuring the required working position on the upper surface of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1.

[0034] exist Figure 21 and Figure 25 In the application shown, the front edge of the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1 has a recess 7.1', and the second limiting protrusion 1022' engages with the recess 7.1'.

[0035] In some embodiments, the recess 7.1' is configured to control the door panel 7.1, such as a handle structure.

[0036] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the first limiting protrusion 1021' is provided on the side adjacent to the opening of the coupling area 102, so that the first limiting protrusion 1021' and the second limiting protrusion 1022' can increase the area range of support, thereby making the fit between the electronic cutting machine door panel 7.1 and the coupling area 102 more reliable.

[0037] See Figure 20 and Figure 21 In some embodiments, the coupling region 102 is also constructed as a rectangle, and the door panel 7.1 is designed as a rectangle.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 10 , Figures 15 to 18 In some embodiments, the cutting device 2 includes a slide 2.2 that spans the coupling region 102 and is connected at both ends to the base 1. The slide 2.2 is configured with a groove 2.20 for slidingly mounting the cutter 2.1. The cutter 2.1 is constructed with a blade 2.1' protruding from its lower surface.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 10 , Figures 15 to 18 In some embodiments, the chute 2.20 is provided with protruding edges 2.21 for pressing against the material on both sides of the material conveying direction. The protruding edges 2.21 can reduce the contact area between the material and the cutting device 2, and reduce the risk of material surface damage; on the other hand, the protruding edges 2.21 can press against the material, making it convenient for the cutter 2.1 to cut quickly and accurately.

[0040] In some embodiments, the flange 2.21 and the slide 2.2 are integrally injection molded.

[0041] See Figure 4 , Figures 15 to 18In some embodiments, the cutter 2.1 includes a dial 2.11, a dial base cover 2.12, and a blade member 2.13, the blade member 2.13 including a blade 2.1'. In some embodiments, the dial 2.11 is provided with a control part 2.111 for convenient user operation.

[0042] Figure 18 View E in the diagram is a schematic diagram of the dial 2.11 of the cutter 2.1, represented by dashed lines, and view F is an exploded view of the cutter 2.1.

[0043] Regarding the assembly of cutter 2.1, in Figure 4 , Figures 15 to 18 In the illustrated embodiment, the blade component 2.13 is assembled in the assembly cavity 2.10 formed between the shift seat 2.11 and the shift seat bottom cover 2.12. The cutting edge of the blade 2.1' protrudes from the lower surface of the shift seat bottom cover 2.12 through the hole 2.12 on the shift seat bottom cover 2.12. The blade component 2.13 is fixed between the shift seat bottom cover 2.12 and the shift seat 2.11 by the engagement of the shift seat bottom cover 2.12 and the shift seat 2.11.

[0044] The shifter 2.11 and the shifter base 2.12 are respectively constructed with a first connecting part 2.112 and a second connecting part 2.122. The outer walls of the first connecting part 2.112 and the second connecting part 2.122 are connected to form a sliding fit with the slide groove 2.20. The first connecting part 2.112 and the shifter 2.11 are respectively constructed with an upper limit step 2.110 that fits with the upper edge of the slide groove 2.20, and the second connecting part 2.122 and the shifter base 2.12 are constructed with a lower limit step 2.120 that fits with the upper and lower edges of the slide groove 2.20.

[0045] Since the flange 2.21 and the slide 2.2 can be integrally injection molded, when assembling the cutter 2.1, the slide groove 2.20 can be opened so that the bottom cover 2.12 of the dial can be inserted from the upper side of the slide groove 2.20 downwards to the lower side to achieve assembly. When disassembling the cutter 2.1, the bottom cover 2.12 of the dial can be pulled out from the lower side of the slide groove 2.20 upwards.

[0046] See Figure 18 In some embodiments, the first connecting part 2.112 and the second connecting part 2.122 are connected by a relative plug-in connection. For example, the first connecting part 2.112 is constructed with an assembly cavity 2.10, and the second connecting part 2.122 is constructed with a plug-in part that mates with the assembly cavity 2.10. The two can be connected by an interference fit, or they can be connected by ultrasonic welding, adhesive materials, screws, etc.

[0047] It can be connected using a snap-fit ​​structure or a screw connection.

[0048] See 1 to Figure 14In some embodiments, the material loading area 101 is provided with a suspension mechanism 3 for suspending the inner hole of the material.

[0049] Specifically, the suspension mechanism 3 includes a suspension rod 3.1, and a first suspension rod connector 3.2 and a second suspension rod connector 3.3 connecting the suspension rod 3.1 and the side of the base 1. Using the suspension mechanism 3 to support the inner hole of the material roll effectively avoids damage to the surface of the material roll.

[0050] See 1 to Figure 14 In some embodiments, the first suspension connector 3.2 and the second suspension connector 3.3 are rotatably connected to the base 1 about a horizontal rotation axis R1, allowing the suspension mechanism 3 to switch between a suspended position where the suspension rod 3.1 is suspended and a retracted position close to the base 1. This design effectively reduces the thickness of the base 1, facilitates packaging and transportation after storage, and is economical. Furthermore, the suspension rod 3.1 can be opened when needed and retracted during storage or packaging for transportation.

[0051] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some embodiments, the material loading area 101 is provided with a groove 101' for receiving material rolls. The above configuration can utilize the space of the groove 101' to accommodate a portion of the material roll, which can reduce the height of the suspension rod 3.1, thereby reducing the size and volume of the material conveyor.

[0052] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 When the suspension rod 3.1 is stored, it is located on the front side of the base 1. The above design allows the suspension rod 3.1 to be flipped and stored on the side of the base 1, making the storage size smaller.

[0053] In some embodiments, the height of the suspension rod 3.1 is less than the height of the front side of the base 1. With this arrangement, the suspension rod 3.1 can be stored between the upper and lower sides of the base 1, which makes packaging and transportation more convenient.

[0054] See Figure 19 In some other embodiments, the upper surface of the material loading area 101 may also be a plane.

[0055] See Figure 26 In other embodiments, the material loading area 101 is configured with a groove 101' for receiving a material roll, and one or more rollers or wheels are disposed at the bottom of the groove. The groove configuration can reduce the size and volume of the material conveyor, and the one or more rollers 1011 or wheels (not shown) can provide rolling support for the material roll, especially when the material roll is newly replaced and its size and weight are large. The assembly structure of the rollers 1011 or wheels with the groove 101' is not an improvement of this application and can be implemented with reference to existing prior art.

[0056] See Figure 27 In other embodiments, the upper surface of the material loading area 101 may be a plane and may be provided with one or more rollers or wheels.

[0057] See Figure 28 In some embodiments, the suspension mechanism 3 is not provided; instead, one or more rollers 1011 or wheels (not shown) are arranged on the upper surface of the material loading area 101. Of course, the material loading area 101 may be configured with a groove 101' for receiving material rolls, and one or more rollers 1011 or wheels (not shown) are mounted at the bottom of the groove 101'.

[0058] As an alternative, see Figure 29 The upper surface of the material loading area 101 can be a plane and is equipped with one or more rollers 1011 or wheels (not shown).

[0059] In some embodiments (not shown), the material roll can be loaded in other ways, such as by configuring the surface of the material loading area 101 with suspended support mechanisms that support the two ends of the material roll opposite to each other, and the two ends of the material roll hole are rotatably suspended by the suspended support mechanisms.

[0060] See Figures 1 to 5 In some embodiments, the base 1 includes a base 1.1 that forms at least a portion of the bottom of the material loading area 101, and two arm seats 1.2 that are constructed on the sides of the base 1.1. The two arm seats 1.2 extend outward relative to the base 1.1 and are configured with a non-empty coupling area 102 on the sides of the base 1.1. The two ends of the cutting device 2 are connected to the upper side of the two arm seats 1.2.

[0061] See Figure 5 In some embodiments, the slide 2.2 has one or more slide connecting parts 2.21' at both ends, and the two arm seats 1.2 have one or more countersunk holes 1.22 communicating with the upper and lower surfaces corresponding to the slide connecting parts 2.21'. The connecting screws 1.23 are connected to the slide connecting parts 2.21' through the countersunk holes 1.22 to fix the two ends of the slide 2.2 to the corresponding arm seats 1.2. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, each end of the slide 2.2 has two slide connecting portions 2.21', and of course, the slide connecting portions 2.21' can be selected as needed.

[0062] To facilitate installation and positioning, the arm seat 1.2 has a positioning structure 1.20, such as a groove, at the mounting position of the slide connection 2.21'.

[0063] In some embodiments, the upper part of one or more countersunk holes 1.22 is constructed with an increased diameter recess that mates with the slide connection portion 2.21', which improves the connection stability between the two ends of the slide 2.2.

[0064] An arm seat foot pad 1.8' can be inserted into the lower part of the countersunk hole 1.22. Of course, in order to balance and support the base 1, a base foot pad 1.9' is also installed in the lower part of the base 1.1.

[0065] exist Figures 30 to 32 In other embodiments shown, the base 1 includes a base 1.1 comprising at least a portion of a material loading area 101, and a coupling base 1.2' adjacent to the downstream of the base 1.1, wherein the coupling area 102 is a recessed structure formed on the downstream side of the coupling base 1.2' communicating with the base 1.

[0066] Figures 30 to 32 In some embodiments, the bottom 1021 of the coupling region 102 can be used for limiting the door panel 7.1 during assembly. Of course, in other embodiments, one or more second limiting protrusions 1022' can also be provided on the inner end side of the coupling region 102.

[0067] In other embodiments, the bottom 1021 of the coupling region 102, along with the second limiting protrusion 1022', limits the door panel 7.1 during assembly.

[0068] In other embodiments, one or more first limiting protrusions 1021' constructed on the sidewalls on opposite sides of the coupling region 102 limit the door panel 7.1 during assembly.

[0069] In other embodiments, one or more first limiting protrusions 1021' constructed on the sidewalls on opposite sides of the coupling region 102, and one or more second limiting protrusions 1022' provided on the inner end side of the coupling region 102, limit the door panel 7.1 during assembly.

[0070] Figures 30 to 32 In the embodiment shown, the coupling region 102 does not completely penetrate the lower surface of the coupling base 1.2'. It is coupled to the door panel 7.1 using a recessed structure. By designing the depth of the coupling region 102, the height difference between the door panel 7.1 and the base 1.1 and the coupling region 102 can be the same or close.

[0071] In some embodiments, the bottom 1021 of the coupling region 102 may have a notch, such as a hollowed-out or partially penetrating structure.

[0072] In some cases, the coupling region 102 is through, and continuous, spaced protrusions or ridges are constructed at a predetermined height on the inner wall of the coupling region 102.

[0073] See Figure 13 and Figure 14In some embodiments, the suspension connectors 3.2 and / or 3.3 are equipped with a damping structure, which serves as a positioning mechanism and prevents the suspension mechanism 3 from swinging during use.

[0074] See Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, in the storage position, the suspension rod 3.1 is stored on the outer side of the base 1. By adopting the above solution, the thickness of the material conveyor a can be further reduced.

[0075] See Figures 1 to 14 In some embodiments, the first suspension connector 3.2 includes a first connecting member 3.21 and a second connecting member 3.22. The first connecting member 3.21 is rotatably connected to the base 1 about a horizontal rotation axis R1. The second connecting member 3.22 is flipped and connected to the first connecting member 3.21 about a rotation axis R2 perpendicular to the rotation axis R1. The first connecting member 3.21 is configured with a quick-release structure between itself and the first end of the suspension 3.1. By using the first suspension connector 3.2 and the second suspension connector 3.3 to connect the two ends of the suspension 3.1, a stable and reliable support can be provided for the suspension 3.1. At the same time, the first suspension connector 3.2 and the suspension 3.1 adopt a flipped quick-release structure, which facilitates the loading of material rolls.

[0076] In other embodiments, the upper part of the second suspension connector 3.3 is detachably connected to the end of the suspension 3.1.

[0077] The second connecting member 3.22 and the first connecting member 3.21 can be connected by a pin, or they can be other known structures that can achieve a rotational connection.

[0078] In other embodiments, only one suspension connector may be provided, that is, one end of the suspension 3.1 is connected to the side of the base 1 through the suspension connector, and the other end is an open end that can be used to load material rolls.

[0079] See Figures 8 to 10 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the quick-release structure includes a hole-and-shaft sleeve structure disposed between the first end of the suspension rod 3.1 and the first connecting member 3.21.

[0080] exist Figures 8 to 10 and Figure 13 In the illustrated embodiment, the hole-shaft sleeve structure includes a hole structure 3.1 constructed at the end of the suspension rod 3.1, and a shaft protrusion 3.221 constructed on the first connecting member 3.22. The shaft protrusion 3.221 and the hole structure 3.12 are pluggable. When adopting the above scheme, the suspension rod 3.1 can be a tube, such as a metal tube, thus utilizing the tube's own structure to form the hole structure 3.12 at its end.

[0081] See Figures 8 to 10 and Figure 13 In some embodiments, the second connecting member 3.22 is configured in a "7" shape to facilitate detachment from the first end of the suspension rod 3.1. The "7" structure makes axial detachment of the second connecting member 3.22 from the first end of the suspension rod 3.1 more convenient and quick.

[0082] See Figures 8 to 11 The first suspension connector 3.2 and the second suspension connector 3.3 are connected to the base 1 via the first screw connector 3.2' and the second screw connector 3.3', respectively. The first screw connector 3.2' and the second screw connector 3.3' are fixedly installed on both sides of the base 1, such as by inserting them through the mounting holes 30 on both sides of the base 1, and are constructed with a first screw portion 3.21' and a second screw portion 3.31' located on the outer sides of both sides of the base 1. The lower ends of the first suspension connector 3.2 and the second suspension connector 3.3 are respectively constructed with a first screw hole 3.210 and a second screw hole 3.310, which are rotatably mounted on the outer sides of the first screw portion 3.21' and the second screw portion 3.31'.

A first connecting hole 3.201' and a second connecting hole 3.301' are respectively constructed axially on the first axial protrusion 3.24' and the second screw-in portion 3.21'. A first step 3.25' is constructed between the first axial protrusion 3.24' and the first screw-in portion 3.21', and a second step 3.35' is constructed between the second axial protrusion 3.34' and the second screw-in portion 3.21'. A corresponding annular third step 3.214 and annular fourth step 3.314 are constructed on the first screw-in hole 3.210 and the second screw-in hole 3.310. 4' is respectively assembled between the central holes of the third step 3.214 and the fourth step 3.314. The first step 3.25' is engaged with the third step 3.214, and the second step 3.35' is engaged with the fourth step 3.314. Then, screws (not shown) are passed through the central holes of the third step 3.214 and the fourth step 3.314 and connected to the corresponding first connecting hole 3.201' and second connecting hole 3.301', respectively, thereby confining the first step portion 3.24' and the second step portion 3.34' within the third step 3.214 and the fourth step 3.314.

[0085] See Figure 11 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, the contact portions of the first screw hole 3.210 and the second screw hole 3.310 and the corresponding first screw portion 3.21' and second screw portion 3.31' are constructed with a damping structure, such as a corrugated structure.

[0086] See Figure 11 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, the damping structure includes a plurality of spaced strip-shaped first ridges 3.211' and second ridges 3.311' respectively constructed on the first screw joint 3.21' and the second screw joint 3.31', and a plurality of spaced strip-shaped third ridges 3.211 and fourth ridges 3.311 correspondingly constructed on the sidewalls of the first screw joint hole 3.210 and the second screw joint hole 3.310.

[0087] See Figure 14 In some embodiments, a limiting structure is constructed between the first screw hole 3.210 and the second screw hole 3.310 and the corresponding first screw portion 3.21' and second screw portion 3.31' to restrict the rotation of the first suspension connector 3.2 and the second suspension connector 3.3 between the suspended position and the retracted position.

[0088] In some embodiments, the limiting structure includes a first arcuate groove 3.212 and a second arcuate groove 3.312 respectively constructed on the sidewalls of the first screw hole 3.210 and the second screw hole 3.310, and a first protrusion 3.22' and a second protrusion 3.32' respectively constructed on the first screw portion 3.21' and the second screw portion 3.31'. The first protrusion 3.22' and the second protrusion 3.32' are respectively fitted into the first arcuate groove 3.212 and the second arcuate groove 3.312. By limiting the first protrusion 3.22' and the second protrusion 3.32', the rotation of the first suspension connector 3.2 and the second suspension connector 3.3 is restricted within the range of the first arcuate groove 3.212 and the second arcuate groove 3.312, thereby limiting the rotation of the suspension 3.1 between the suspended position and the retracted position.

[0089] In some embodiments, the first screw connector 3.2' and the second screw connector 3.3' are designed with structures that restrict rotation between them and the corresponding mounting holes 30, such as protrusions and grooves.

[0090] See Figures 8 to 11In some embodiments, the first screw connector 3.2' has one or more third protrusions 3.23', and the side of the corresponding mounting hole 30 has a slot 301 corresponding to the third protrusion 3.23'. When the first screw connector 3.2' is installed into the mounting hole 30, the third protrusion 3.23' is inserted into the slot 301 to achieve rotational positioning of the first screw connector 3.2'. The second screw connector 3.3' has one or more fourth protrusions 3.33', and the side of the corresponding mounting hole 30 has a slot 301 corresponding to the fourth protrusion 3.33'. When the second screw connector 3.3' is installed into the mounting hole 30, the fourth protrusion 3.33' is inserted into the slot 301 to achieve rotational positioning of the second screw connector 3.3'.

[0091] See Figure 11 and Figure 14 In some embodiments, a shaft protrusion 302 is constructed in the middle of the mounting hole 30, and the shaft protrusion 302 is constructed with an axially extending third connecting hole 3021. The first screw connector 3.2' and the second screw connector 3.3' are respectively constructed with a first shaft hole 3.20' and a second shaft hole 3.20' that mate with the shaft protrusion 302. The first shaft hole 3.20' and the first connecting hole 3.201' are coaxially arranged, and the second shaft hole 3.20' and the second connecting hole 3.301' are coaxially arranged. When the first screw connector 3.2' is installed into the mounting hole 30, the corresponding shaft protrusion 302 is inserted into the first shaft hole 3.20'. When the second screw connector 3.3' is installed into the mounting hole 30, the corresponding shaft protrusion 302 is inserted into the second shaft hole 3.30'. Two connecting screws (not shown) pass through the central holes of the third step 3.214 and the fourth step 3.314, the first connecting hole 3.201' and the second connecting hole 3.301', and are connected to the corresponding third connecting hole 3021.

[0092] In other embodiments, the first screw connector 3.2' and the second screw connector 3.3' can also be integrally formed with the base 1, such as by injection molding.

[0093] In some embodiments, the portion of the second suspension connector 3.3 that connects to the second end of the suspension 3.1 is provided with a insertion groove 3.30, into which the second end of the suspension 3.1 is inserted. The insertion groove 3.30 can be configured to accommodate the axial position of the second end of the suspension 3.1, thereby facilitating the installation of the second end of the suspension 3.1 into place.

[0094] See Figures 20 to 25As one embodiment of the electronic cutting system of this application, it includes an electronic cutting machine 7 and a material conveyor a; the electronic cutting machine 7 is configured with a working area 700, with a flip-open top cover 7.2 on the upper side and a door panel 7.1 on the front side of the working area 700 for opening or closing. The working area 700 is equipped with a cutting component 7.3, which includes a clamping fixture 7.4 for holding the workpiece. The upper surface of the door panel 7.1 in the open state is the working surface, and the working surface of the door panel 7.1 is configured with a laterally extending blade avoidance groove 200; when the door panel 7.1 is loaded in the coupling area 102, the blade 2.1' of the cutter 2.1 corresponds to the blade avoidance groove 200, and the cutter 2.1 is used to cut the material conveyed through the working surface of the door panel 7.1.

[0095] The connection is achieved by coupling the base 1 to the door panel 7.1 through the coupling area 102. The conveying channel is directly formed by the cutting device 2 and the working surface of the door panel 7.1. The structure is simple, reducing the material used in the base 1 and saving the volume of the construction channel, making the material conveyor a smaller and more economical. Since the height difference between the base 1 and the door panel 7.1 at the joint position is small after the door panel 7.1 is assembled into the coupling area 102, the workpiece material can be conveyed more smoothly and is less prone to wear and wrinkling. The blade avoidance groove 200 can prevent the blade 2.1' from cutting into the door panel 7.1. By controlling the relative height between the blade 2.1' and the blade groove 200, it can be ensured that the workpiece material is completely cut off.

[0096] In some embodiments, the blade 2.1' of the cutter 2.1 extends into the cutter groove 200. By adopting the above-described scheme, it can be ensured that the workpiece material is completely cut off.

[0097] In some embodiments, the knife-avoiding groove 200 extends through both sides of the door panel 7.1. The above-described solution facilitates the manufacturing and cleaning of the knife-avoiding groove 200.

[0098] In some embodiments, the width of the blade avoidance groove 200 is 1.5-4mm, which avoids the blade 2.1' and also avoids the impact on material feeding.

[0099] In some embodiments, the depth of the cutter groove 200 is set to more than 1 mm, such as 2 mm to 4 mm.

[0100] The contents of the various embodiments of this application can be combined and referenced with each other, and all fall within the protection scope of this application.

[0101] Based on the disclosure and teachings of the above specification, those skilled in the art to which this application pertains can make changes and modifications to the above embodiments. This application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this application should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this application.
