Abstract
A melt cutter includes a case, an electricity-connecting portion, a heating device, a working portion, a control portion, and a heat-dissipating device. The case has a heat-dissipating zone. The electricity-connecting portion is disposed in the case for connecting with an electricity source. The working portion is disposed in the case and has a gap with changeable size for clamping an object. The control portion alternatively triggers the heating device to heat and to transmit heat to the working portion, and it also reduces the size of the gap for melting and cutting the object. The heat-dissipating device is disposed at the heat-dissipating zone and is electrically connected with the electricity-connecting portion. Thereby, the heat-dissipating device helps air communication between interior and exterior of the case.
Claims11
A melt cutter, including:
- a case, including a flat top wall and a ridged shell portion ridging outwardly from the flat top wall, the ridged shell portion forming a heat-dissipating zone which is a space inside the ridged shell portion and extends outwardly relatively beyond the flat top wall;
- an electricity-connecting portion, disposed on the case, being adapted for detachably connecting with an electricity source from an outside of the case;
- a heating device, disposed in the case, being electrically connected with the electricity-connecting portion;
- a working portion, disposed in the case, including an upper working piece and a lower working piece, a gap being formed between the upper and lower working pieces for clamping an object to be cut;
- a control portion, pivoted to the case within the case, one end of the control portion extending outside the case and pivotally operable from an outside of the case,
- for triggering the heating device to heat and to transmit heat to the upper working piece and the lower working piece so that temperatures of the upper working piece and the lower working piece are raised to higher than the melting point of the object to be cut so as to drive the upper and the lower working pieces to approach each other to reduce the gap, thereby the object to be cut being cut off in a means of melting;
- a heat-dissipating device, disposed in the heat-dissipating zone of the case, the heat-dissipating device being electrically connected with the electricity-connecting portion and facilitating air communication between interior of the case and outside of the case, wherein the heat-dissipating device includes a fan, the fan is attached to the ridged shell portion and within the heat-dissipating zone, a side of the fan facing inwardly is tilted to the flat top wall, the flat top wall, a part of the ridged shell portion connected with the flat top wall and the side of the fan form a remaining space, the control portion is pivoted to the case between the remaining space and the working portion, the fan is driven to rotate when a micro-switch is triggered by the control portion;
- wherein the upper working piece has a plurality of protruding legs, and the lower working piece has a guiding necked portion which is slidable between the protruding legs.
