Abstract
A cutter blade driving and positioning control structure formed of a rotary drive, a transmission unit, a sliding unit, a linear motor and a cutter unit and used in a plastic pelletizing machine for making plastic pellets is disclosed. The rotary drive provides a rotary driving force for driving the transmission unit to rotate the cutter unit. The linear motor is adapted to reciprocate the transmission unit, moving the cutter unit back and forth rapidly with minimized energy consumption.
Claims5
A cutter blade driving and positioning control structure for plastic pelletizing machine, comprising:
- a rotary drive comprising a drive motor, a driving shaft coupled to and rotatable by said drive motor, said driving shaft comprising a plurality of longitudinal coupling grooves equiangularly spaced around the periphery thereof;
- a transmission unit comprising a transmission shaft and a bearing block, said transmission shaft being a tubular shaft sleeved onto said driving shaft of said rotary drive and pivotally mounted in said bearing block, said transmission shaft comprising a plurality of longitudinal coupling ribs equiangularly spaced around an inner perimeter thereof and respectively slidably coupled to said longitudinal coupling grooves of said driving shaft so that rotating said driving shaft causes rotation of said transmission shaft in said bearing block;
- a sliding unit disposed at one lateral side relative to said driving shaft of said rotary drive, said sliding unit comprising a seat member and a sliding block, said sliding block having one side thereof slidably coupled to said seat member and an opposite side thereof fixedly connected to said linking block of said transmission unit;
- a linear motor comprising a motor body affixed to said drive motor of said rotary drive, and an inductor connected to said bearing block of said transmission unit and adapted to move said bearing block alternatively back and forth relative to said motor body when activated;
- and
- a cutter unit connected to said transmission shaft of said transmission unit and rotatable and axially movable by said transmission unit.
