DETAILED DESCRIPTION

In order to better understand the technical solution of the present disclosure, embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
A moving blade adjusting structure for a hair clipper includes: a blade assembly, a blade adjusting push rod 6, an inner container assembly 7, a knob assembly, a blade cover 14 and a body housing 15. The blade adjusting push rod 6 is slidably coupled to the inner container assembly 7, the inner container assembly 7 is fitted in the body housing 15, the knob assembly is arranged on a stud of the inner container assembly 7, and the blade adjusting push rod 6 is movably coupled to the knob assembly. The blade assembly is arranged in the blade cover 14, the blade assembly is movably coupled to the blade adjusting push rod 6, and the blade cover 14 is fixedly coupled to the body housing 15. The knob assembly rotates to drive the blade adjusting push rod 6 to slide up and down, and the blade adjusting push rod 6 pushes the blade assembly. The knob assembly and the blade adjusting push rod 6 constitute a force-saving structure, so that the knob assembly converts a rotary motion into a horizontal motion, thus achieving a purpose of adjusting the moving blade. A structure of a force-saving knob is employed, and a self-locking function is realized, thus achieving easy adjustment of a position of the blade.
On the basis of the above embodiment, in other embodiments, the knob assembly further includes a knob pressing block 2, a knob 3, a metal elastic sheet 4 and a cam 5. The cam 5 is arranged on the inner container assembly 7 through the stud on the inner container assembly 7, and an end face of the cam 5 is engaged with the blade adjusting push rod 6 in a horizontal direction. The metal elastic sheet 4 is coupled to the knob 3 in a snapped manner, the knob 3 is concentrically assembled with the cam 5 through the stud on the inner container assembly 7, and the knob pressing block 2 is concentrically assembled with the knob 3 through the stud of the inner container assembly 7. In this embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 1, the blade adjusting push rod 6 is assembled with the inner container assembly 7 in the snapped manner, a movable gap is provided between a snap position on the inner container assembly 7 and a sliding groove of the blade adjusting push rod 6, to slide up and down. The cam 5 is assembled concentrically with the stud of the inner container assembly 7, and the inner container assembly 7 is fixed to the body housing 15 by a screw. The metal elastic sheet 4 is assembled with the knob 3 in the snapped manner, the knob 3 is assembled concentrically through the stud of the inner container assembly 7, and the knob pressing block 2 is assembled concentrically with the knob 3 through the stud of the inner container assembly 7. In this embodiment, the knob assembly further includes a scale trim 1, and the scale trim 1 is arranged on the knob 3. In this embodiment, the scale trim 1 is bonded with the knob 3 through an adhesive backing, and the knob 2 rotates to drive the cam 5 to rotate synchronously. As illustrated in FIGS. 2-3, the cam 5 has a structure of an eccentric wheel. The knob 3 rotates to drive the cam 5 to rotate synchronously. The blade adjusting push rod 6 is engaged with the end face of the cam 5 in the horizontal direction. A radius of the cam 5 changes during the rotation, to drive the blade adjusting push rod 6 to slide forward. The blade adjusting push rod 6 slides forward to drive a compression spring holder to move, achieving the purpose of adjusting the moving blade. The knob 3 drives the cam 5 to rotate, and the blade adjusting push rod 6 slides up and down through the eccentric wheel. A torque of the knob 3 is big, and converts the rotary motion into the horizontal motion, thus constituting the force-saving structure. The metal elastic sheet 4 is fixedly coupled to the knob 3. The metal elastic sheet 4 is provided with a protruding rib snapped with a groove in the body housing 15, to achieve the self-locking function of the knob. Each groove corresponds to a stop position. Moreover, due to impact sound of metal and plastic, a feedback function of the stop position through the sound can be provided when the metal elastic sheet slides on the body housing and suddenly falls into the groove from a high position.
On the basis of the various embodiments described above, in other embodiments, the blade assembly further includes a stationary blade 8, a moving blade 9, a stationary blade holder 10, a moving blade holder 11, a moving blade compression spring 12 and a compression spring holder 13. The moving blade compression spring 12 is arranged on the compression spring holder 13. The stationary blade 8 is fixedly arranged on the stationary blade holder 10, and the moving blade 9 is fixedly arranged on the moving blade holder 10. The stationary blade holder 10 is movably coupled to the moving blade holder 11 through the moving blade compression spring 12, and the compression spring holder 13 is movably coupled to the blade adjusting push rod 6. In this embodiment, the compression spring holder 13 includes a cylindrical shaft and a support rod with the cylindrical shaft as an axis. The blade adjusting push rod 6 slides up and down to drive the support rod to rotate, and the support rod drives the compression spring holder 13, to drive the stationary blade and the moving blade to move, thus realizing the technical effect of adjusting the blade. In this embodiment, the blade assembly further includes a coupling elastic sheet configured to couple the blade assembly to the inner container assembly 7. The coupling elastic sheet can be a metal elastic sheet, a first end of the coupling elastic sheet is coupled to a stationary blade fixing seat, and a second end of the coupling elastic sheet is coupled to the inner container assembly, so that a coupling between the blade assembly and the inner container assembly is more stable and not easy to separate.
