Solution Overview
Problem
Existing cutting devices for performing half and full cut operations on cylindrical objects have complex mechanisms due to the need for multiple states and motor control systems, which complicates their structure and functionality.
Innovation Solution
A cutting device with a simplified structure that includes a cutting blade, a receiving block with two contact surfaces, and a motor system that rotates to move the blade and block between positions, allowing for half and full cut operations by inhibiting or transmitting driving force based on rotation direction, enabling stable and efficient cutting.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a cutting device uses multiple motor control systems to perform half cut and full cut operations, then the cutting functionality is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
A single motor is designed to perform multiple functions by switching between forward and reverse rotation directions. The motor controls both the cutting blade movement and the receiving block position switching, eliminating the need for separate motor control systems for half cut and full cut operations. This multi-functionality approach maintains cutting versatility while reducing device complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The control mechanisms for blade movement and receiving block positioning are merged into a single integrated system. The motor's forward rotation simultaneously advances the blade and positions the receiving block, while reverse rotation performs the opposite functions. This merging of control functions reduces the number of independent mechanisms required
2Device complexity
If a cutting device uses a single motor for both blade movement and receiving block positioning, then the device complexity is reduced, but the control precision may deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The motor's rotation cycle is segmented into distinct phases: forward rotation phase for blade advancement and receiving block positioning, and reverse rotation phase for retraction and resetting. This temporal segmentation allows each phase to be optimized for its specific function, maintaining positioning precision despite using a single motor
Solution Approach 2:
The motor operates in periodic cycles of forward and reverse rotation. Each complete cycle (forward then reverse) accomplishes a full sequence of blade movement and receiving block positioning. This periodic action pattern ensures that precision requirements are met through controlled, repetitive motion sequences rather than continuous complex control

AI summary
A cutting device includes a cutting blade, a receiving block, a motor, a cutting blade movement mechanism, and a receiving block movement mechanism. The cutting blade includes a blade portion. The receiving block includes a contact surface including a first contact surface and a second contact surface. The motor is configured to rotate. The cutting blade movement mechanism supports the cutting blade and is configured to move the cutting blade between a separated position and a contact position in concert with a rotation of the motor. The receiving block movement mechanism is configured to move the receiving block from a first opposed position to a second opposed position in concert with the rotation of the motor.
