Multi-Edge Cutting Blade with Intermediary Support for Clean Dieboard Creases
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Multi-edge cutting blades for die-boards often produce jagged edges when cutting, causing plate matter to get stuck and resulting in incomplete or dirty pressed lines, and existing solutions struggle to achieve a fixed length due to variable piece lengths.
Innovation Solution
A fixed-length multi-edge cutting blade is designed with a cutting blade edge divided into sections and connecting pieces that fit into spacings, eliminating cuts on the blade edge to prevent jagged edges and ensuring consistent length by using a single piece configuration with pieces that fit securely into each other.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a multi-edge cutting blade is used to create perforated lines, then the blade can produce cutting or folding lines on plate matter, but the blade edge produces jagged edges causing plate matter to get stuck and resulting in incomplete or dirty pressed lines
Solution Approach 1:
The cutting blade edge is divided into multiple sections with spacings between them, creating a multi-edge structure that produces perforated lines on the plate matter. The connecting pieces fill these spacings to provide support and prevent jagged edges from causing material to stick.
Solution Approach 2:
Connecting pieces are introduced as intermediary elements that fit into the spacings between the multiple sections of the cutting blade edge. These connecting pieces provide support and prevent the plate matter from getting stuck on the blade edges, thereby eliminating jagged edges and ensuring clean pressed lines.
2Adaptability or versatility
If multiple pieces are used to form the cutting blade, then the blade can be configured with multiple edges, but the variable lengths of pieces make it difficult to achieve a fixed overall length
Solution Approach 1:
The rule incorporates multiple sections that can be positioned at different orientations (e.g., first section at first orientation, second section at second orientation), allowing the blade to adapt to different cutting or folding requirements while maintaining a fixed overall length through the connecting pieces.
Solution Approach 2:
The cutting blade is segmented into multiple sections with spacings between them, allowing each section to be independently configured for different cutting orientations while the connecting pieces ensure the overall blade maintains a fixed length.
3Productivity
If the cutting blade edge is cut to create multiple sections, then perforated lines can be formed, but the cuts create jagged edges that cause plate matter to get stuck
Solution Approach 1:
Connecting pieces are introduced as intermediary elements that fit into the spacings between the multiple sections of the cutting blade edge. These connecting pieces provide support and prevent the plate matter from getting stuck on the blade edges, thereby eliminating the harmful effect of jagged edges while maintaining the productivity benefit of perforated line formation.
Solution Approach 2:
The spacings between the multiple sections of the cutting blade edge, which initially create jagged edges and cause material to stick, are converted into beneficial features by filling them with connecting pieces. These connecting pieces transform the harmful jagged edges into a supportive structure that ensures clean pressed lines while maintaining the perforated line formation capability.

AI summary
A rule to be inserted into a die-board that is pressed onto a plate matter, the rule including: a multi-edge cutting blade having a cutting blade edge, the cutting blade edge divided into multiple sections with multiple spacings between the multiple sections; and a plurality of connecting pieces configured to fit into the multiple spacings and to provide support for the multiple sections of the cutting blade edge when the rule is pressed onto the plate matter.
