End effector including cutting blade and pulley assembly

A cutting device comprising:

• a base plate extending in a longitudinal direction;
• a motor attached to the base plate;
• a driving cord including a first end and a second end, the first end being attached to the motor;
• a cutting assembly including:
• a fixed blade that is fixed to the base plate;
• and
• a driven blade that moves with respect to the fixed blade, the driven blade and the fixed blade being joined at a pivot point;
• a cutting pulley attached to a side surface of a lever end of the driven blade and supporting the driving cord;
• and
• a support pulley affixed to the base plate;
• wherein
• the second end of the driving cord is attached to the driven blade to move the driven blade with respect to the fixed blade when the motor rotates;
• the motor includes a motor driven pulley to which the first end of the driving cord is affixed;
• a portion of the driving cord which is located between the first end and the second end is engaged with the support pulley;
• the motor driven pulley is located between the support pulley and the cutting pulley in a direction in which the fixed blade and the driven blade are spaced apart from each other;
• and
• the direction in which the fixed blade and the driven blade are spaced apart from each other is perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the base plate and perpendicular to a direction in which an axis of the pivot point extends.
