DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0035] The present disclosure is further described in detail below in combination with accompanying drawings 1-6.

[0036] An embodiment of the present disclosure discloses a pair of electric scissors. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 5, the electric scissors include a shell 1, a fixed blade 2, a movable blade 3, a drive mechanism 4, and an actuator 5. Specifically, the fixed blade 1 includes an upper shell and a lower shell. The upper shell and the lower shell have thin walls. The upper shell and the lower shell are mounted together through a screw to form an accommodating cavity 11. The accommodating cavity 11 is provided with an opening in one side of the shell 1. The fixed blade 2 is arranged at the opening of the shell 1. The movable blade 3 is rotatably connected to the fixed blade 2. Cutting edges are arranged on sides, far from a rotating center, of the movable blade 3 and the fixed blade 2. The cutting edges of the movable blade 3 and the fixed blade 2 are arranged near each other. A cutting function of the electric scissors is achieved by the reciprocating rotation of the movable blade 3 relative to the fixed blade 2. The drive mechanism 4 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11. The drive mechanism 4 and the movable blade 3 are connected in a plugging manner, so as to drive the movable blade 3 to rotate. The actuator 5 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11. The actuator 5 is in drive connection to the drive mechanism 4, so that when the actuator 5 starts to work, the drive mechanism 4 may drive the movable blade 3 to rotate under the action of the actuator 5, so as to achieve the cutting function of the electric scissors. After the electric scissors are used to cut branches and leaves for a period of time, the cutting edges of the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 may be worn to different extents, which may cause the blades to be unable to cut the branches and leaves. Therefore, the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 need to be replaced. Due to plugging fit between the movable blade 3 and the drive mechanism 4, only the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 need to be pulled out and removed to complete the replacement of the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3, thereby making the replacement of the movable blade 3 and the fixed blade 2 easier. Meanwhile, only the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 are replaced, which can also reduce the cost of blade replacement.

[0037] Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 3, the drive mechanism 4 includes a connecting frame 41, a rotating shaft 42, a rotating plate 43, and a bevel gear 44. Specifically, the connecting frame 41 is arranged in the accommodating cavity 11. The connecting frame 41 is arranged on one side, close to the opening, of the accommodating cavity 11. The connecting frame 41 may extend out of the accommodating cavity 11. The rotating shaft 42 is in the shape of a cylindrical rod. The rotating shaft 42 is integrally arranged on the connecting frame 41, and the rotating shaft 42 is arranged on a portion, extending out of the accommodating cavity 11, of the connecting frame 41. Both of the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 sleeve the rotating shaft 42. The rotating plate 43 rotatably sleeves the rotating shaft 42, and a rotating centerline of the rotating plate 43 and rotating centerlines of the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 are coaxial and represent an axis of the rotating shaft 42. One side surface of the rotating plate 43 may resist against the connecting frame 41, and the other side surface resists against the movable blade 3. One side of the rotating plate 43 may be located in the accommodating cavity 11. One side, outside the accommodating cavity 11, of the rotating plate 43 is provided with a limiting column 431. The limiting column 431 is in the shape of a cylindrical rod. The limiting column 431 is integrally arranged on the rotating plate 43. Meanwhile, a limiting slot 31 is formed in one side surface, close to the rotating plate 43, of the movable blade 3. The limiting slot 31 has a round cross section from a notch. The limiting slot 31 is matched with the limiting column 431 to plug the limiting column 431. When the rotating plate 43 rotates, the movable blade 3 can rotate with the rotating plate 43. The side, located in the accommodating cavity 11, of the rotating plate 43 is provided with teeth. Furthermore, a structural form of the teeth on the rotating plate 43 is the same as a structural form of teeth on a face gear. The bevel gear 44 is rotatably connected into the accommodating cavity 11. The bevel gear 44 is in drive connection with the actuator 5. The bevel gear 44 is engaged with the teeth on the rotating plate 43. Therefore, when the actuator 5 works, the bevel gear 44 may rotate. The bevel gear 44 drives the rotating plate 43 to rotate, so that the movable blade 3 rotates relative to the fixed blade 2. When the movable blade 3 and the fixed blade 2 need to be replaced, only the movable blade 3 needs to be unplugged from the rotating plate 43, so that the limiting column 431 is separated from the limiting slot 31 for replacement.

[0038] Meanwhile, two limiting blocks 411 are arranged on the connecting frame 41. The two limiting blocks 411 are arranged at the opening of the accommodating cavity 11. When the fixed blade 2 sleeves the rotating shaft 42, one side, far from the cutting edge of the fixed blade, of the fixed blade 2 may be located between the two limiting blocks 411, so that when the drive mechanism 4 drives the movable blade 3 to rotate, the side, far from the cutting edge of the fixed blade, of the fixed blade 2 may be fixed under the action of the two limiting blocks 411, and the fixed blade 2 may not have an offset in the rotation. Thus, it will not affect the cutting effect of the electric scissors.

[0039] In addition, in this embodiment, a structural form of the actuator 5 is a driving motor 51. An output shaft of the driving motor 51 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the bevel gear 44 to drive the rotation plate 43 to rotate. In other embodiments, the rotation of the bevel gear 44 can be achieved through other forms. The driving motor 51 is connected to the connecting frame 41 through a bolt, which can keep the rotating plate 43 at a relative position with the driving motor 51, to ensure that the bevel gear 44 is always engaged with the teeth on the rotating plate 43, so as not to affect the rotation of the movable blade 3 relative to the fixed blade 2.

[0040] Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, a knife case 6 is arranged at a position, close to the opening of the accommodating cavity 11, on the shell 1. A cross section of the knife case 6 will be U-shaped, and a through hole is formed in a U-shaped inner side of the knife case 6 for the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 to pass through. Moreover, when the knife case 6 is mounted on the shell 1, an inner side wall of the knife case 6 and an outer side wall of the shell 1 form a cavity; two clamping holes 12 are formed in joints of the shell 1 and the knife case 6; the clamping holes 12 are communicated to the accommodating cavity 11; one side wall of each of the clamping holes 12 is in the same plane as a side wall of the accommodating cavity 11 at the position. The two clamping holes 12 are respectively formed in the upper shell and the lower shell, and the two clamping holes 12 are arranged at opposite positions. Clamping pieces 62 are arranged on two inner sides of the U shape of the knife case 6; the two clamping pieces 62 have acting forces that are far away from each other. When the knife case 6 is mounted on the shell 1, one side, far from a bent inner side of the knife case 6, of each of the clamping pieces 62 may pass through the corresponding clamping hole 12 and enter the accommodating cavity 11; sides, far from each other, of the two clamping pieces 62 may have predetermined acting forces to resist against the side walls of the accommodating cavity 11, so that the knife case 6 can be stably mounted on the shell 1. Furthermore, release holes 63 are arranged on two opposite sides of the knife case 6, and one side surface, resisting against the accommodating cavity 11, of each of the clamping pieces 62 is integrally provided with a release block 621. The release blocks 621 are arranged in the release holes 63 in a penetrating manner under the action of a clamping plate. When it is necessary to remove the knife case 6 and replace the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3, only the two release blocks 621 need to be pressed to make the clamping pieces 62 no longer resist against the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the knife case 6 can be easily removed.

[0041] Referring to FIG. 2 to FIG. 6, in order to further improve the stability of mounting the knife case 6 on the shell 1, a clamping block 13 is arranged on the accommodating cavity 11. The clamping block 13 is arranged on the side surface, resisting against the clamping piece 62, of the inner wall of the accommodating cavity 11, and the clamping block 13 is located on the side close to the opening of the accommodating cavity 11. A clamping block hole 622 is formed in each clamping piece 62. The clamping block hole 622 is configured to plug the clamping block 13. When the knife case 6 is mounted on the shell 1, a side walls of the clamping block 13 may block the clamping pieces 62, which further improves the stability of mounting the knife case 6.

[0042] Referring to FIG. 4 to FIG. 6, the knife case 6 is provided with a stopper 61 at the through hole. When the knife case 6 is mounted on the shell 1, the stopper 61 may resist against one side surface, far from the movable blade 3, of the fixed blade 2, which can avoid the fixed blade 2 from moving in an axial direction of the rotating shaft 42 as much as possible.

[0043] Referring to FIG. 1, an illuminating lamp 7 is arranged on one side, close to the fixed blade 2, of the shell 1. Therefore, when the electric scissors are used in a relatively dark environment, the illuminating lamp 7 can be used as a light source to make a user see things more clearly, making it easier for the user to cut branches and leaves.

[0044] In addition, in this embodiment, a control module and a button are arranged on the shell 1. The control module is arranged in the shell 1. In this embodiment, the control module is a micro control unit (MCU) chip and is electrically connected to the driving motor 51 to control a speed of the output shaft of the driving motor 51. The button is arranged on one side edge of the shell 1 and is used by a user. The button is electrically connected to the MCU chip. When the user presses the button, the button may send a signal to the MCU chip, and the MCU chip may send an electrical signal to the driving motor 51 to change the speed of the output shaft of the driving motor 51, so a speed of the bevel gear 44 may also change. Therefore, a rotation angle of the movable blade 3 may be changed under the cooperation of the bevel gear 44 and the rotating plate 43, and the maximum opening and closing angle between the movable blade 3 and the fixed blade 2 on the electric scissors can be adjusted.

[0045] The present disclosure further provides a control system of electric scissors, including the above electric scissors.

[0046] The implementation principles of the electric scissors and the control system thereof in the embodiments of the present disclosure are as follows: The driving motor 51 is started to drive the bevel gear 44 to rotate. Due to the engagement between the bevel gear 44 and the teeth on the rotating plate 43, the rotating plate 43 rotates to drive the movable blade 3 to rotate relative to the fixed blade 2, thereby achieving the cutting function of the electric scissors. When the fixed blade 2 or the movable blade 3 is significantly worn, the release blocks 621 are pressed to separate the clamping pieces 62 from the inner walls of the accommodating cavity 11, and the clamping block 13 may be separated from the clamping block holes 622. In this case, the knife case 6 can be removed from the shell 1. Therefore, the stopper 61 may not restrain the fixed blade 2. Due to the plugging fit between the movable blade 3 and the rotating plate 43, the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 can be removed from the rotating shaft 42, so that the fixed blade 2 and the movable bade 3 can be replaced after being removed without using other auxiliary tools making the replacement of the movable blade 3 and the fixed blade 2 easier. At the same time, only the fixed blade 2 and the movable blade 3 are replaced, which can also reduce the cost of blade replacement.

[0047] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described above, and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present disclosure. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape and principle of the present disclosure shall all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
