Wherein, as shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, the electric hair cutting device 110 comprises a hair cutting assembly, a support, a first motor 117 and a second transmission assembly 118.


The hair cutting assembly comprises five first shearing wheels 111, four second shearing wheels 112, a first transmission shaft 113, a second transmission shaft 114 and a gear set 116. An end surface of each first shearing wheel 111 is intersected with a side wall to form a first cutting blade, and an end surface of each second shearing wheel 112 is intersected with a side wall to form a second cutting blade. The first shearing wheels 111 are horizontally arranged, are spaced from one another, and are connected with the first transmission shaft 113 in a rotation-stopping manner. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 7, each second shearing wheel 112 comprises a first wheel plate 1121 and a second wheel plate 1122, the first wheel plates 1121 and the second wheel plates 1122 are connected with the second transmission shaft 114 in a rotation-stopping manner through hinge pins, each first wheel plate 1121 and the corresponding second wheel plate 1122 are mutually nested in the axial direction on the second transmission shaft 114 to form the corresponding second shearing wheel 112, and thus, the second shearing wheels 112 are arranged horizontally, are spaced from one another among the adjacent first shearing wheels 111, and are connected with the second transmission shaft 114 in a rotation-stopping manner. Because each first wheel plate 1121 and the corresponding second wheel plate 1122 are nested in the axial direction, a spring 1123 is clad inside each second shearing wheel, and the circumstance that the long and thin sundries such as hairs and fabrics are wound on the springs 1123 to affect running of the hair cutting assembly can be avoided. In the present embodiment, a stopping sleeve 1124 is further provided, and the stopping sleeve 1124 is connected to the hinge pins of the second transmission shaft 114 in a sleeving manner, and prevents the hinge pins from being separated from the second transmission shaft 114 in a rotating process of the second transmission shaft 114. The first transmission shaft 113 and the second transmission shaft 114 are disposed parallel to each other, so that opposite end surfaces of each first shearing wheel 111 and the corresponding second shearing wheel 112 are attached to each other. A first gap is formed between each first shearing wheel 111 and the second transmission shaft 114, a second gap is formed between each second shearing wheel 112 and the first transmission shaft 113, the gaps serve as discharge channels for cut sundries, therefore, the cut sundries can be discharged in time, and continuous operation of the hair cutting assembly is ensured.

The first transmission shaft 113 and the second transmission shaft 114 are rotatably connected through the externally engaged gear set 116, so that the first transmission shaft 113 and the second transmission shaft 114 can synchronously drive the first shearing wheels 111 and the second shearing wheels 112 to rotate relatively, and the first cutting blades and the second cutting blades move oppositely in the feed direction.
