[0035] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the present invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0036] As shown in Figures 1 to 4, a side adjustment mechanism for the tooth spacing of a cutting head according to this utility model includes an upper blade 3, a lower blade 2, a housing 6, and an adjustment assembly. The upper blade 3 and the lower blade 2 are directly or indirectly mounted on the housing 6. Specifically, the adjustment assembly includes a sliding plate 5, an adjustment handle 7, a bracket assembly, and a handle screw 10. The adjustment handle 7 includes a rod head 703 with a first through hole 704. One end of the handle screw 10 passes through the first through hole 704 and then through a second through hole 501 on one side of the sliding plate 5. The other end of the handle screw 10 is engaged with the bracket assembly, which abuts against the first through hole 704. The rod head 703 is connected to the sliding plate 5 and drives the sliding plate to move. The sliding plate 5 is directly or indirectly connected to the upper blade 3 or the lower blade 2. More specifically, the bracket assembly includes a handle bracket 8 and a handle spring 9. The handle spring 9 is sleeved in the inner hole of the handle bracket 8. An annular protrusion is provided in the first through hole 704, and the handle bracket 8 abuts against the annular protrusion.
[0037] In this utility model, the handle spring 9 of the adjustment mechanism is sleeved in the inner hole of the handle bracket 8 to form a bracket assembly. One end of the handle screw 10 passes through the bracket assembly and then enters the second through hole 501 of the sliding plate 5. The shape of the other end of the handle screw 10 matches the inner hole plane of the handle bracket 8, so that the other end of the handle screw 10 is engaged with the bracket assembly. The bracket assembly cannot rotate relative to the handle screw 10. The bracket assembly with the matched handle screw 10 is abutted against the first through hole 704 of the rod head 703 of the adjustment handle 7. The connection between the adjustment handle 7 and the sliding plate 5 is realized through the handle screw 10. Then the rod head 703 is connected to the sliding plate 5 and can drive the sliding plate 5 to move. When the adjustment handle 7 is turned, the handle bracket 8 and the annular protrusion of the adjustment handle 7 engage with each other. The handle spring 9 is compressed, providing elastic force to make the handle bracket 8 jump up and down. The engagement produces a 'click' sound. One click indicates that a gear has been switched. At the same time, due to the limiting of the bracket assembly by the handle screw 10, the bracket assembly does not rotate with the rotation of the adjustment handle 7, reducing the friction between the bracket assembly and the adjustment handle 7. This results in less wear and a longer lifespan for the adjustment handle 7.
[0038] The handle screw 10 passes through the handle spring 9, handle bracket 8, adjusting handle 7, and sliding plate 5, and locks into the housing 6. The handle screw 10 engages with the inner hole of the handle bracket 8, preventing the handle bracket 8 from rotating, allowing it to move only up and down. By rotating the handle screw 10, it unscrews, and the bracket assembly disengages from the adjusting handle 7. The number of gears can be changed by adjusting the angle of the handle bracket 8 within the first through hole 704.
[0039] Specifically, the adjusting handle 7 also includes a handle 702, which is integrally connected or fastened to the handle head 703. As shown in Figures 6 and 7, a boss 701 is provided on the side wall of the handle head 703 facing the sliding plate 5, and a latch 502 is also provided on one side of the sliding plate 5. The latch 502 is connected to the second through hole 501, and the boss 701 is engaged with the latch 502. Since the handle screw 10 passes through the second through hole 501, and the latch 502 is connected to the second through hole 501, the boss 701 is inserted into the latch 502 position of the sliding plate 5. By moving the handle 702, the handle head 703 is driven to rotate. The handle head 703 rotates around the handle screw 10, driving the boss 701 to move. The boss 701 and the latch 502 cooperate to push the sliding plate 5 to move along the sliding groove of the housing 6. The sliding plate 5 drives the upper blade 3 or the lower blade 2 to move back and forth, thereby realizing the adjustment of the back and forth position of the upper blade 3 and the lower blade 2, and realizing the adjustment of the blade tooth spacing.
[0040] Specifically, the support assembly includes a handle bracket 8 and a handle spring 9, with the handle spring 9 fitted inside the inner hole of the handle bracket 8. The handle spring 9 includes a helical spring, with its two ends connected to the two ends of the handle bracket 8, respectively. The handle bracket 8 includes a square bracket, and one end of the handle screw 10, which engages with the handle bracket 8, includes a square end. The outer surface of the square end matches the square inner hole surface of the square bracket. The engagement between the square inner hole of the handle bracket 8 and the square end of the handle screw 10 restricts the rotation of the support assembly relative to the handle screw 10.
[0041] Specifically, the upper blade 3 is fastened to the housing 6, and a compression spring is provided on the sliding plate 5. When the housing 6 and the upper blade 3 are assembled, the compression spring contacts the upper blade 3 and is in a compressed state. The compression spring prevents the sliding plate 5 from moving in the front-back direction, thus affecting the adjustment stability. The housing 6 is provided with a sliding groove, and the lower blade 2 is connected to the slider plate, which is installed in the sliding groove. The lower blade 2 is fixed to the sliding plate 5 by the blade head fixing screw 1. A guide block 4 is also fastened to the lower blade 2. The lower blade 2, guide block 4, and sliding plate 5 are connected in sequence. A guide slot hole is provided on the bottom surface of the sliding groove, and the guide block 4 matches the guide slot hole. By pushing the sliding plate 5 to move, the guide block 4 is driven to move. The guide block 4 slides along the guide slot hole, realizing the stability of the front-back movement of the lower blade 2.
[0042] This utility model discloses a side-mounted adjustment mechanism for the blade tooth spacing. By redesigning the side-mounted adjustment mechanism that drives the blade movement, the tooth spacing of the blade can be adjusted. The adjustment mechanism includes a sliding plate 5, an adjustment handle 7, a handle bracket 8, a handle spring 9, and a handle screw 10. The handle spring 9 is fitted inside the inner hole of the handle bracket 8 to form a bracket assembly. The handle screw 10 passes through this assembly, and its square end engages with the square inner hole of the handle bracket 8, preventing the handle bracket 8 from rotating. When the adjustment handle 7 is rotated, the handle bracket 8 and the annular protrusion of the adjustment handle 7 mesh together. The handle spring 9 is compressed, providing elasticity and causing the handle bracket 8 to bounce up and down. The meshing produces a 'click' sound, with one click indicating a shift in gear. This achieves a gear feedback adjustment method, providing the user with a clearer adjustment signal. The blade head adjustment provides clear feedback on the gear position, and the handle bracket 8 cannot rotate. When the adjustment handle 7 is moved, it rotates; when the adjustment handle 7 is stopped, it will not rotate on its own due to the contact between the handle bracket 8 and the adjustment handle 7, thus having a self-locking function. The adjustment handle 7 experiences minimal wear and has a long lifespan, meeting the requirements of normal use for 3 years. This utility model's side adjustment mechanism achieves a low-cost, more reliable, and feedback-based gear pitch adjustment method. Furthermore, the handle bracket 8 can be detached from the adjustment handle 7 by unscrewing the handle screw 10, and the number of gear positions can be changed by adjusting the angle of the handle bracket 8.
[0043] The present invention moves the sliding plate 5 by providing a boss 701 on the inner wall of the side of the adjusting handle 7 facing the sliding plate 5. The boss 701 cooperates with the slot 502 of the sliding plate 5. As the adjusting handle 7 rotates, the boss 703 rotates around the handle screw 10, and the boss 701 rotates along the axis of the handle screw 10, pushing the sliding plate 5 to move back and forth in the sliding groove of the housing 6 with the lower blade 2, thereby realizing the adjustment of the blade tooth spacing.
[0044] This utility model also provides a trimming device, including the aforementioned blade tooth spacing adjustment mechanism. The trimming tools of this utility model are not limited to electric clippers, hair trimmers, etc.
