CUTTING DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18397697 titled 'CUTTING DEVICE
Simplified Explanation: The patent application describes an electric cutting device that automatically detects the presence of an object between the cutting blades and controls the operation of the blades accordingly.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Pair of cutting blades for clamping and cutting objects
- Electric motor for driving force
- Controller to manage motor operation
- Operation device for user control
- Detector to sense object presence
- Automatic closing of blades when both detector and operation device are active
Potential Applications: This technology can be used in industrial settings for automated cutting processes, in household appliances for safer operation, and in medical devices for precise cutting tasks.
Problems Solved: The device addresses safety concerns by automatically stopping the cutting process when no object is detected between the blades, reducing the risk of accidents.
Benefits:
- Enhanced safety during cutting operations
- Automation of cutting processes
- Precise and efficient cutting performance
Commercial Applications: The technology can be applied in manufacturing plants, kitchen appliances, and medical equipment, improving efficiency and safety in various industries.
Prior Art: Potential areas to explore for prior art related to this technology include electric cutting devices, safety mechanisms in cutting tools, and automated blade control systems.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in electric cutting devices, sensor technology for object detection, and automation in cutting tools for potential improvements in this technology.
Questions about Electric Cutting Device: 1. How does the detector differentiate between the presence and absence of an object? 2. What are the potential energy savings associated with the automatic blade control feature?
Original Abstract Submitted
An electric cutting device includes: a pair of cutting blades configured to clamp and cut an object; an electric motor configured to generate a driving force necessary for operating the cutting blades; a controller configured to control an operation of the electric motor; an operation device configured to be switched between an ON state and an OFF state by a user operation; and a detector configured to: enter into an ON state in a case where the object is present between the pair of cutting blades; and enter into an OFF state in a case where the object is not present. The controller is configured to execute an operation of closing the pair of cutting blades in a case where both the operation device and the detector are in the ON state.
