FIELD
The present application relates to a puncher, more specifically to a puncher capable of fast and accurate positioning.
BACKGROUND
The conventional paper punching machine mainly uses a punching machine and a ruler in cooperation to position and punch the paper. In this structure, it is necessary to determine the position of paper punching through the ruler, then place the side of the paper on the punching machine and the ruler for positioning, and finally press holes with the same spacing in the paper through the punching machine. However, when the paper is placed on the punching machine without being held by a positioning structure, it is apt to cause the paper to shift when being punched, and further cause the punching position to be apt to be inaccurate. Moreover, due to the large volume and fixed structure of the traditional punching machine, it is not easy to disassemble and assemble, and it also makes it inconvenient for users to carry.
SUMMARY
An aspect of the present application is to provide a puncher capable of fast and accurate positioning. The puncher capable of fast and accurate positioning can effectively improve the accuracy of paper punching by arranging a pressing plate between a cutter unit and a bottom seat. The technical scheme adopted is as follows.
A puncher capable of rapid and accurate positioning, includes a cutter unit, a pressing plate, and a bottom seat from top to bottom. The cutter unit includes a ejector rod for drilling, a top cover, a base, and a number of first springs. The top cover is installed on the base to be movable up and down, one end of the ejector rod is fixed on an inner side of the top cover, another end of the ejector rod is a punching end, which faces towards the base, and moreover, the base is provided with a guide hole for the ejector rod to pass through. The first springs are arranged between the top cover and the base, and the first springs act on the top cover.
The pressing plate is arranged between the base and the bottom seat, and the pressing plate is provided with at least one first avoidance hole for the ejector rod to pass through.
The bottom seat is configured to bear an object to be punched, and is provided with at least one second avoidance hole for the ejector rod to pass through, the at least one second avoidance hole and the at least one first avoidance hole are arranged in one-to-one correspondence.
The base is provided with a number of first magnetic attracting units, and the pressing plate is provided with a number of second magnetic attracting units, the bottom seat is provided with a number of third magnetic attracting units and a number of fourth magnetic attracting units, the third magnetic attracting units are magnetically attracted to the first magnetic attracting units to allow the base to be attracted on the bottom seat, and the fourth magnetic attracting units are magnetically attracted to the first magnetic attracting units and the second magnetic attracting units respectively to allow the base and the pressing plate to be attracted on the bottom seat, for clamping the object to be punched between the pressing plate and the bottom seat.
With the above design, the top cover is pressed downward to drive the ejector rod to move downward synchronously. The ejector rod passes through the first avoidance hole and the second avoidance hole successively to implement the punching operation at one position of the paper. When the external force disappears, the top cover receives a restoring force of the first spring to move upward and be reset, and drive the ejector rod to move upward and be reset synchronously. At this time, the punching position of the object to be punched can be changed. Since the pressing plate is arranged between the cutter unit and the bottom seat, the accuracy of paper punching can be effectively improved. Moreover, the base and the pressing plate are each attracted on the bottom seat. When the position of the base changes, the position of the pressing plate will not shift, so that the position of the paper will not shift, thus ensuring the accuracy of paper punching. The magnetic attracting units are arranged on the base, the pressing plate and the bottom seat, so that the paper can be quickly clamped for being accurate punched, and the base, the pressing plate and the bottom seat can be easily and conveniently assembled and disassembled.
Further, the cutter unit further includes a locking device, and the locking device includes a locking member, a first magnet, a second spring and a first stopper. The locking member is connected to the base by a pivot, the first magnet is arranged at the locking member, the second spring acts on the locking member, and the first magnet and the second spring are distributed on radial opposite sides of the pivot respectively. The second spring acts on the locking member. A second magnet is arranged on the bottom seat, and the second magnet and the first magnet are magnetically attractive/repulsive to each other. The first stopper is arranged on the inner side of the top cover. When the first magnet is magnetically attracted to the second magnet, and a torque direction of a magnetic force applied to the locking member is consistent with a torque direction of a preload of the second spring applied to the locking member. In this case, the locking member is set in a locked state, and a top end of the locking member can contact with a bottom end of the first stopper to thereby restricting the top cover from moving downward. When the first magnet and the second magnet are magnetically repulsive, the torque direction of the magnetic force applied to the locking member is opposite to the torque direction of the preload of the second spring applied to the locking member, and the magnetic repulsion force applied to the locking member can overcome part of the preload of the second spring, and in this case, the locking member is set to an open state. The locking member moves around the pivot towards a direction away from the second magnet, and further the top end of the locking member is offset from the first stopper, so that the top cover is movable downward.
With such an arrangement, by additionally providing the locking device, it can prevent the user from being injured or the object from being damaged due to misoperation.

Specific working principle of the present application is as follows.
Reference is made to FIG. 6. When the locking member 1061 is in the locked state, the top cover 102 cannot move downward. Please refer to FIG. 7, when the locking member 1061 is in the open state, the top cover 102 is pressed downward to drive the ejector rod 101 to move downward synchronously. The ejector rod 101 passes through the first avoidance hole 201 and the second avoidance hole 3021 successively to implement the punching operation at one position of the paper. When the external force disappears, the top cover 102 receives a restoring force of the first spring 105 to move upward and be reset, and drive the ejector rod 101 to move upward and be reset synchronously. At this time, the punching position of the paper 5 can be changed. Since the pressing plate 2 is arranged between the base 103 and the bottom seat 3, the accuracy of paper punching can be effectively improved. Moreover, the base 103 and the pressing plate 2 are each attracted on the bottom seat 3. When the position of the base 103 changes, the position of the pressing plate 2 will not shift, so that the position of the paper will not shift, thus ensuring the accuracy of paper punching. The magnetic attracting units are arranged on the base 103, the pressing plate 2 and the bottom seat 3, so that the paper can be quickly clamped for being accurately punched, and the base 103, the pressing plate 2 and the bottom seat 3 can be easily and conveniently assembled and disassembled. Moreover, the cutter unit 1 is provided with the locking device, which can effectively improve the safety of the product to prevent misoperation.
Preferably, the cross sections of the top cover 102 and the base 103 are square, and four first avoidance holes 201 and four second avoidance holes 3021 are provided, and are configured to realize the drilling operation in one position when the top cover 102 and the base 103 rotate by 90°/time about their longitudinal centerline L synchronously and finally realize the drilling operation in four positions. At least the pressing plate 2 is provided with a number of sets of calibration holes 203. Each set of calibration holes 203 includes four calibration holes 203. The arrangement of each set of calibration holes 203 is consistent with the arrangement of the first avoidance holes 201. In this embodiment, the bottom seat 3 is also provided with a number of sets of calibration holes 301, and the arrangement of each set of calibration holes 301 is consistent with that of the second avoidance holes 3021.
Preferably, a top surface of the top cover 102 is provided with at least one building block bump 1024. By splicing the building block bump 1024 on the top cover 102 with other building block splicers, the overall beauty of the puncher can be further improved, and the playability and interest of the product can be greatly improved.
The work process is described in conjunction with the embodiments shown in FIGS. 1 to 10 as follows.
First, the paper 5 is placed on the bottom seat 3; then, the pressing plate 2 clamps the paper 5 on the bottom seat 3 through the second magnetic attracting units 4b, and then the cutter unit 1 is accurately positioned on the bottom seat 3 through the first magnetic attracting units 4a. At this time, due to the repulsive force between the first magnet 1065 and the second magnet 303, the locking member 1061 is converted to the open state, the ejector rod 101 is driven to move downward by pressing the top cover 102, and the ejector rod 101 is moved downward through a first avoidance hole 201 to punch the paper 5, thus, a hole is formed in the paper 5, and the waste material cut by punching is discharged through a second avoidance hole 3021 in the fixing plate 302 of the bottom seat 3. The cutter unit 1, after being turned by 90°, is repositioned on the bottom seat 3 through the magnetic attracting units. The top cover 102 is pressed to drive the ejector rod 101 to move up and down. The ejector rod 101 punches the paper 5 downward through the first avoidance hole 201, thus forming another hole in the paper 5. By analogy, the puncher can punch and cut multiple hole combinations in the paper 5, as shown in FIG. 10. The fixing plate 302 is removed and the sides of the second magnet 303 and the first magnet 1065 facing each other are set to have opposite magnetic poles, and then the fixing plate 302 is installed to the original position. The first magnet 303 and the second magnet 1065 magnetically attract each other. The locking member 1061 is in the locked state. The cutter unit 1 and the pressing plate 2 are successively attracted to the bottom seat 3, and the top cover 102 cannot be pressed downward.
The contents of the above embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present application, and the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the implementation scope of the present application. All equivalent changes made according to the scope of protection of the claims in this application are covered by the scope of protection of the claims in the present application.
