When the material cutting device is used, the base 13 can be placed on a horizontal carrying surface, the magazine 12 is placed on the top of the base 13, the top cover 11 is buckled on the top of the magazine 12, and the top cover 11, the magazine 12 and the base 13 are in a coaxial configuration.

As shown in fig. 1A to 1C, the top cover 11 includes a top cover end wall 111 and a top cover side wall 112 formed in one piece, the top cover end wall 111 having a circular shape, the top cover side wall 112 rising from a peripheral edge of the top cover end wall 111 toward a side of the top cover end wall 111 with respect to the top cover end wall 111. Thus, the top cover 11 is formed in a cylindrical shape with one end closed. The top cover end wall 111 is formed with a feed port 11h, and the feed port 11h is offset from the center portion of the top cover end wall 111. Cartridge 12 includes a cartridge end wall 121 and a cartridge side wall 122 formed as one piece. Cartridge end wall 121 has a circular shape, and cartridge side wall 122 stands relative to cartridge end wall 121 from the periphery of cartridge end wall 121 toward the side of cartridge end wall 121. Thus, cartridge 12 is formed in a cylindrical shape with one end closed. The cartridge end wall 121 is formed with a through hole through which the shaft of the power source 2 is inserted. After the top cover 11 and the magazine 12 are fastened together, both the top cover 11 and the magazine 12 enclose a space for mounting the output shaft 3, the rotary push plate 4 and the tool holder 5, and in fact the space is enclosed by the top cover end wall 111, the top cover side wall 112, the magazine end wall 121 and the magazine side wall 122.

As shown in fig. 1A to 1D, the base 13 has a substantially square shape as a whole, a space for housing the power source 2 is formed inside the base 13, and the space inside the base 13 is partitioned from a space surrounded by both the top lid 11 and the magazine 12. The top of the base 13 is formed with a through hole corresponding to the through hole of the cartridge end wall 121, so that the shaft of the power source 2 inside the base 13 can extend into the space surrounded by both the top cover 11 and the cartridge 12, thereby being connected with the output shaft 3 in a torque-proof manner.

Further, as shown in fig. 1B and 1C, the top cover end wall 111 is formed with a feed port 11h communicating with the space surrounded by both the top cover 11 and the cartridge 12, and the cartridge side wall 122 is formed with a discharge port 12h communicating with the space surrounded by both the top cover 11 and the cartridge 12. To facilitate the transport of material, the housing 1 further comprises a feed chute 14 and a discharge chute 15. Specifically, as shown in fig. 1A to 1C, the feed cylinder 14 is fixed to a top cover end wall 111 of the top cover 11 (both may be formed integrally), a passage surrounded and formed inside the feed cylinder 14 communicates with a space surrounded and formed by both the top cover 11 and the magazine 12 via the feed port 11h, and the feed cylinder 14 extends in a direction away from the space. As shown in fig. 1A to 1C and 5, the discharge chute 15 is mounted to the cartridge sidewall 122 of the cartridge 12 (alternatively, the discharge chute 15 is detachable from the cartridge sidewall 122), and the discharge chute 15 includes a passage sidewall 151 and a flap 152. The discharge passage 15p is formed in the discharge chute 15 by the passage side wall 151, and the discharge passage 15p communicates with a space surrounded by both the top lid 11 and the cartridge 12 via the discharge port 12 h. On the other hand, since the discharge passage 15p promotes the discharge of the material to the outside along the discharge passage 15p by the gravity of the material itself, the discharge passage 15p extends obliquely toward the base 13 (lower side in the vertical direction) while extending radially outward of the cartridge 12. On the other hand, in order to prevent the material from being thrown out of the discharge passage 15p at an excessively high speed, the baffle 152 is provided at the outlet of the discharge passage 15p, and the baffle 152 blocks a part of the outlet (in this embodiment, the upper portion of the outlet), so that the material to be discharged meets the baffle 152 and then the discharge speed is greatly reduced.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1B and 1C, the power source 2 is, for example, a motor. The power source 2 is housed in a space inside the base 13, and the power source 2 is fixed to the base 13. The shaft of the power source 2 extends through the base 13 and the magazine 12 into the space enclosed by the top cover 11 and the magazine 12, and is connected to the output shaft 3 in a rotationally fixed manner so that the output shaft 3 can be driven to rotate by the power source 2.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1B to 1D, the output shaft 3 is connected with the power source 2, the rotary push plate 4 and the tool holder 5 in a torque-proof manner, and is used for transmitting the torque of the power source 2 to the rotary push plate 4 and the tool holder 5, so that the power source 2 can drive the rotary push plate 4 and the tool holder 5 to rotate. Further, the output shaft 3 is arranged coaxially with not only the shaft of the power source 2, the rotary push plate 4, and the tool holder 5, but also the output shaft 3 is arranged coaxially with the magazine 12 of the housing 1.

As shown in fig. 2A and 2B, the output shaft 3 includes a small diameter portion 31, a large diameter portion 32, a seat portion 33, and a ridge portion 34, which are integrally formed. The small diameter portion 31, the large diameter portion 32, and the seat portion 33 are connected in a coaxial manner, and the large diameter portion 32 is located between the small diameter portion 31 and the seat portion 33 in the axial direction a. The small diameter portion 31 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape linearly extending along the axial direction a. An end portion of the small diameter portion 31 distant from the large diameter portion 32 is formed as a cutout portion 311, and a part of a side surface of the cutout portion 311 is formed as a flat surface and the other part of the side surface is formed as a curved surface. The small-diameter portion 31 has a circular cross section except for the cutout portion 311, and the cross-sectional diameter is constant. The large diameter portion 32 is formed in a cylindrical shape linearly extending along the axial direction a, and the cross section of all portions of the large diameter portion 32 is circular and constant, and the cross section diameter of the large diameter portion 32 is larger than the maximum cross section diameter of the small diameter portion 31. The seat portion 33 extends linearly along the axial direction a and has a circular cross-sectional shape all the time, and the cross-sectional area of the seat portion 33 gradually increases from the large diameter portion 32 and then remains unchanged. The two ridge portions 34 extend in the axial direction a, and the ridge portions 34 are provided in the large diameter portion 32 and the base portion 41 and extend radially outward of the large diameter portion 32. The height of the ridge portion 34 in the radial direction R (as shown in fig. 1C, 2A, and 2B) gradually increases toward the direction away from the small diameter portion 31. The two ribs 34 are spaced apart along the circumferential direction C (as shown in fig. 1D), and the corresponding central angle between the two ribs 34 may be 180 degrees. Further, the seat portion 33 is formed with an output shaft hole 3h for engaging with the shaft of the power source 2, and the cross-sectional shape of the output shaft hole 3h is "D" in the present embodiment.

In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 1B to 1D, the rotary push plate 4 and the tool holder 5 are housed in a space surrounded by the top cover 11 and the magazine 12, and the rotary push plate 4 and the tool holder 5 are mounted to the output shaft 3 such that the rotary push plate 4 and the tool holder 5 can rotate relative to the housing 1. In the axial direction a, the rotary push plate 4 and the feed port 11h are located on both sides of the tool holder 5 (that is, the tool holder 5 is located on the lower side of the feed port 11h, and the rotary push plate 4 is located on the lower side of the tool holder 5), and the discharge port 12h is located radially outside the rotary push plate 4. Thus, in a state where both the blade holder 5 and the rotary push plate 4 are rotated, the material entering through the feed port 11h is cut by the blade holder 5, and the cut material is carried by the rotary push plate 4 to leave the housing 1 through the discharge port 12h by the centrifugal force.

As shown in fig. 3A to 3C, the rotary push plate 4 includes a base portion 41 and two push plate portions 42 formed in one body. The base 41 is located at the center of the rotary push plate 4, and two push plate portions 42 are fixed to the base 41 and extend radially from the base 41. The base portion 41 of the rotary push plate 4 is formed with a push plate shaft hole 4h penetrating in the height direction of the rotary push plate 4, and the push plate shaft hole 4h has a shape matching the large diameter portion 32, the base portion 41, and the ridge portion 34 of the output shaft 3. The rotary push plate 4 is rotationally fixed to the output shaft 3 by inserting the push plate shaft hole 4h through the large diameter portion 32, the base portion 41 and the ridge portion 34. In addition, the thickness of each push plate portion 42 is gradually reduced from the base portion 41 toward a direction away from the base portion 41. This facilitates the material being cut to be guided by centrifugal force along the surface of the push plate portion 42. In addition, as shown in fig. 1B, the height of the push plate portion 42 is equal to the height of the discharge port 12h, and "equal" herein includes the case where the height of the push plate portion 42 is slightly larger or smaller than the height of the discharge port 12 h. This is advantageous in that the cut material is smoothly guided into the discharge passage 15p of the discharge chute 15.

As shown in fig. 4A and 4B, the cartridge 5 includes a cartridge main body 51, a blade 52, and a projection 53 fixed together. The holder main body 51 has a substantially circular disk shape as a whole. The two blades 52 are suspended on the tool holder main body 51, and a through hole is formed in the tool holder main body 51 at a position corresponding to the blade 52, so that the material cut by the blade 52 can fall to the position of the rotary push plate 4 through the through hole. The projecting portion 53 extends from the center position of the holder main body 51 toward the output shaft 3, and the projecting portion 53 is formed with a holder shaft hole 53 h. The tool holder shaft hole 53h has a shape matching the cutout portion 311, and the tool holder 5 is connected to the output shaft 3 in a rotationally fixed manner by inserting the cutout portion 311 into the tool holder shaft hole 53 h. In the present embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the holder shaft hole 53h is "D" shaped.
