Description

本発明は、ロータリー式の電気かみそりや毛玉取り器などに適用される回転刃、および回転刃を備えている小型電気機器に関する。内刃を構成する刃本体はエッチング法、電鋳法、プレス加工によって形成してある。   The present invention relates to a rotary blade applied to a rotary electric razor, a hair ball remover, and the like, and a small electric device including the rotary blade. The blade body constituting the inner blade is formed by etching, electroforming, or press working.

一般的なロータリー式の電気かみそりにおける内刃(回転刃)は、10数個のスパイラル刃と、プラスチック成形された丸軸状の内刃支持体と、内刃支持体に埋設される金属性の内刃軸とで構成してある(特許文献1)。スパイラル刃は内刃支持体の成形時にインサート固定されて、内刃支持体と一体化してある。成形後のスパイラル刃は研削加工を施して、刃の先端に切刃を形成する。切刃は螺旋状に連続しているので、外刃の刃穴に入り込んだひげを引き切りしてシャープな切れ味を発揮できる。   The inner blade (rotary blade) in a general rotary electric shaver is composed of a dozen spiral blades, a plastic-molded round shaft inner blade support, and a metallic material embedded in the inner blade support. It is comprised with the inner blade axis | shaft (patent document 1). The spiral blade is insert-fixed at the time of forming the inner blade support and integrated with the inner blade support. The formed spiral blade is ground to form a cutting edge at the tip of the blade. Since the cutting blades are continuous in a spiral shape, it is possible to show a sharp sharpness by cutting off the beard that has entered the blade holes of the outer blade.

この種の内刃(回転刃)の構造に関して、エッチング法でシート状の内刃体を形成し、得られた内刃体を丸棒状の内刃支持体の周面に巻き付けて固定することが公知である(特許文献2)。内刃体の表面には、内刃支持体の中心軸に対して斜めに傾くリブが一定間隔おきに形成してあり、隣接するリブの間の薄肉部に小穴が一定間隔おきに形成してある。   With regard to the structure of this type of inner blade (rotating blade), a sheet-like inner blade body is formed by an etching method, and the obtained inner blade body is wound around and fixed to a circumferential surface of a round bar-shaped inner blade support. Known (Patent Document 2). On the surface of the inner blade body, ribs that are inclined obliquely with respect to the central axis of the inner blade support are formed at regular intervals, and small holes are formed at regular intervals in the thin portion between adjacent ribs. is there.

特許文献3には、母材シートの表面に電鋳法で1次電着層を形成し、得られた1次電鋳シートを円筒の内面に装填して丸め、1次電鋳シートの内面に2次電着層を形成したのち、1次電鋳シートを剥離して内刃体を構成することが開示してある。得られた内刃体は継ぎ目の無い円筒状に形成されており、筒周面には網刃状の刃穴と切刃の一群が形成してある。円筒状の内刃体は、かご状の内刃枠の周面に固定してある。   In Patent Document 3, a primary electrodeposition layer is formed on the surface of a base material sheet by electroforming, and the obtained primary electroformed sheet is loaded on the inner surface of a cylinder and rounded, and the inner surface of the primary electroformed sheet It is disclosed that after forming the secondary electrodeposition layer, the primary electroformed sheet is peeled off to constitute the inner blade body. The obtained inner blade body is formed in a seamless cylindrical shape, and a group of mesh blade-shaped blade holes and a group of cutting blades are formed on the circumferential surface of the cylinder. The cylindrical inner cutter body is fixed to the peripheral surface of the cage-like inner cutter frame.

本発明の回転刃の加工技術に関して、エッチング法でシート状の内刃ブランクを形成し、内刃ブランクに塑性加工を施して内刃体を形成することが公知である(特許文献4)。ただし、特許文献4の内刃の適用対象はレシプロ式の電気かみそりに限られており、その断面形状が逆U字状に形成してある。   Regarding the processing technique of the rotary blade of the present invention, it is known that a sheet-shaped inner blade blank is formed by an etching method, and the inner blade body is formed by performing plastic working on the inner blade blank (Patent Document 4). However, the application target of the inner blade of Patent Document 4 is limited to a reciprocating electric shaver, and its cross-sectional shape is formed in an inverted U shape.

特許第2903056号公報(第2頁左欄第38〜48行、第1図)Japanese Patent No. 2903056 (page 2, left column, lines 38-48, Fig. 1) 実用新案登録第2502183号公報(第2頁左欄第30〜45行、第1図)Utility Model Registration No. 2502183 (page 2, left column, lines 30-45, FIG. 1) 特開昭59−28586号公報(第2頁左上欄第15行〜同左下欄第9行、第3図)JP 59-28586 (page 2, upper left column, line 15 to lower left column, line 9, line 3) 特開2006−314835号公報(段落番号0027、図7)JP 2006-314835 A (paragraph number 0027, FIG. 7)

特許文献1の内刃によれば、ひげを効果的に導入して効率よく切断できる。また、内刃の回転中心軸に対して斜めに傾斜する切刃でひげを引き切りして、シャープな切れ味を発揮できる。しかし、中実の内刃支持体でスパイラル刃を支持するので、毛屑がスパイラル刃の基端部分に溜まりやすい。また、スパイラル刃に付着した毛屑を除去する際に、個々のスパイラル刃ごとに毛屑をブラシで掃き出す必要があり、毛屑の清掃に少なからず手間が掛かる。多くの場合は、電気かみそりを水洗い可能として清掃の手間を軽減している。   According to the inner blade of Patent Document 1, it is possible to efficiently introduce whiskers and cut efficiently. In addition, the sharpness can be exhibited by cutting the whiskers with a cutting blade inclined obliquely with respect to the rotation center axis of the inner blade. However, since the spiral blade is supported by the solid inner blade support, the fluff tends to accumulate at the proximal end portion of the spiral blade. Moreover, when removing the fouling adhering to the spiral blade, it is necessary to sweep out the fouling for each individual spiral blade with a brush, which takes time and effort to clean up the fuzz. In many cases, the electric razor can be washed with water to reduce the labor of cleaning.

特許文献2の内刃(回転刃)では、薄い1枚の電鋳シートで内刃体を構成し、内刃体を内刃支持体の周面に巻き付け固定して内刃とするので、内刃体の弾性復元力で内刃の真円度を確保するのが難しい。また、ステンレス板材の片面にマスキングパターンを形成し、非マスキング部をエッチング液で蝕刻することにより刃部を形成し、刃部の突端に研削加工を施して切刃を形成するので、切刃の角度が大きくなるのを避けられない。   In the inner blade (rotating blade) of Patent Document 2, the inner blade body is composed of a thin electroformed sheet, and the inner blade body is wound around and fixed to the peripheral surface of the inner blade support body. It is difficult to ensure the roundness of the inner blade with the elastic restoring force of the blade body. In addition, a masking pattern is formed on one side of the stainless steel plate, and the blade portion is formed by etching the non-masking portion with an etching solution, and the cutting edge is formed by grinding the tip of the blade portion. It is inevitable that the angle increases.

その点、特許文献3の内刃体によれば、電鋳法で形成した継ぎ目のない円筒形の内刃体が得られるので、弾性復元力や残留応力の問題を考慮する必要がない。しかし、電鋳母型を円筒状に曲げる過程で、電気絶縁膜に亀裂を生じるおそれがあり、内刃を製造するときの歩留まりが悪くなる。また、特許文献2の内刃と同様に、切刃の角度が大きく、シャープな切れ味を発揮しにくい点に問題がある。   In that respect, according to the inner cutter body of Patent Document 3, a seamless cylindrical inner cutter body formed by electroforming is obtained, so there is no need to consider the problems of elastic restoring force and residual stress. However, in the process of bending the electroformed mother die into a cylindrical shape, the electric insulating film may be cracked, resulting in poor yield when manufacturing the inner blade. Further, like the inner blade of Patent Document 2, there is a problem in that the angle of the cutting blade is large and it is difficult to exhibit a sharp sharpness.

上記のように、エッチング法あるいは電鋳法で形成した内刃体を切断要素とする従来の内刃は、スパイラル刃を切断要素とする内刃に比べて構造が簡単であるものの、歩留まりが悪い点、および切刃をシャープに形成するのが困難な点に改善の余地があった。   As described above, the conventional inner blade using an inner blade body formed by etching or electroforming as a cutting element is simpler in structure than the inner blade using a spiral blade as a cutting element, but the yield is poor. There is room for improvement in that it is difficult to form a sharp point and a cutting edge.

本発明の目的は、ひげや毛玉などの切断対象を効果的に導入しながらシャープな切れ味を発揮して、効率よく切断処理を行なえる回転刃を提供することにある。本発明の目的は、切れ味がシャープな回転刃の歩留まりを向上して、その製造コストを削減することにある。   An object of the present invention is to provide a rotary blade capable of efficiently performing a cutting process while exhibiting a sharpness while effectively introducing a cutting object such as a beard or a hairball. An object of the present invention is to improve the yield of a rotary blade with sharpness and to reduce its manufacturing cost.

本発明に係る回転刃は、刃本体20と、刃本体20を支持する刃ホルダー21とを含んで筒状に形成する。刃本体20には、リブ状の小刃24・25の一群と刃穴26の一群とが設けてある。小刃24・25は、外面の切断面44と、内面の非切断面45と、これら両者44・45の間に形成される一対の側辺部46・47と、切断面44の回転方向上手側に形成される切刃48と、切断面44の回転方向下手側に形成される逃げ縁49とを備えている。非切断面45の幅中心を、切断面44の幅中心より回転方向下手側にずらして、切刃48の切刃角度θ1を、逃げ縁49のエッジ角度θ2より小さく形成する。   The rotary blade according to the present invention is formed in a cylindrical shape including a blade body 20 and a blade holder 21 that supports the blade body 20. The blade body 20 is provided with a group of rib-shaped small blades 24 and 25 and a group of blade holes 26. The small blades 24 and 25 include an outer cut surface 44, an inner non-cut surface 45, a pair of side portions 46 and 47 formed between the both 44 and 45, and the cutting surface 44 in the rotational direction. A cutting edge 48 formed on the side and a clearance edge 49 formed on the lower side in the rotational direction of the cutting surface 44 are provided. The center of the width of the non-cut surface 45 is shifted from the center of the width of the cut surface 44 to the lower side in the rotational direction, so that the cutting edge angle θ1 of the cutting edge 48 is smaller than the edge angle θ2 of the relief edge 49.

リブ状の小刃24は、回転中心軸線に対して斜めに傾斜する状態で形成する。   The rib-shaped blade 24 is formed in an inclined state with respect to the rotation center axis.

刃本体20に、互いに交差するリブ状の第1小刃24の一群と、第2小刃25の一群とを設ける。第1小刃24の一群と第2小刃25の一群とは、回転中心軸線に対して互いに逆向きに傾斜する状態で形成する。つまり、刃本体20を、両小刃24・25でエキスパンドメタル状に構成する。   The blade body 20 is provided with a group of rib-shaped first blades 24 and a group of second blades 25 that intersect each other. The group of first blades 24 and the group of second blades 25 are formed so as to be inclined in opposite directions with respect to the rotation center axis. That is, the blade body 20 is formed in an expanded metal shape by the two small blades 24 and 25.

第1小刃24と第2小刃25の交差部分における切刃48の切刃角度θ3を、両小刃24・25の他の部分の切刃48の切刃角度θ1より小さく設定する。   The cutting blade angle θ3 of the cutting blade 48 at the intersection of the first small blade 24 and the second small blade 25 is set to be smaller than the cutting blade angle θ1 of the cutting blade 48 of the other portion of both the small blades 24 and 25.

刃本体20は四辺形状に形成する。刃本体20の各辺部に沿って小刃24・25に連続する周枠27を無端状に形成する。   The blade body 20 is formed in a quadrilateral shape. A peripheral frame 27 that continues to the small blades 24 and 25 is formed endlessly along each side of the blade body 20.

刃本体20の周枠27は、長辺部を構成する一対の長辺周枠27aと、短辺部を構成する一対の短辺周枠27bとで構成する。長辺周枠27aの切断面44の回転方向上手側に切刃48を形成する。   The peripheral frame 27 of the blade body 20 includes a pair of long side peripheral frames 27a that constitute the long side part and a pair of short side peripheral frames 27b that constitute the short side part. A cutting edge 48 is formed on the upper side in the rotational direction of the cutting surface 44 of the long side peripheral frame 27a.

刃本体20の周枠27は、長辺部を構成する一対の長辺周枠27aと、短辺部を構成する一対の短辺周枠27bとで構成する。長辺周枠27aを回転中心軸線に対して傾斜させて、刃本体20を平行四辺形状に形成する。   The peripheral frame 27 of the blade body 20 includes a pair of long side peripheral frames 27a that constitute the long side part and a pair of short side peripheral frames 27b that constitute the short side part. The blade body 20 is formed in a parallelogram shape by inclining the long side peripheral frame 27a with respect to the rotation center axis.

長辺周枠27aの断面幅b1を、小刃24・25の断面幅b2と同じに設定する。   The cross-sectional width b1 of the long side peripheral frame 27a is set to be the same as the cross-sectional width b2 of the small blades 24 and 25.

本発明の回転刃を有する小型電気機器においては、回転刃をモーター動力で回転駆動する。   In the small electric apparatus having the rotary blade of the present invention, the rotary blade is rotated by motor power.

本発明においては、小刃24・25の非切断面45の幅中心を、切断面44の幅中心より回転方向下手側にずらして、切刃48の切刃角度θ1を逃げ縁49のエッジ角度θ2より小さく形成するので、切刃48の切れ味をシャープにできる。したがって、刃穴26に捕捉されたひげを両小刃24・25で効果的に切断して、能率よく切断対象を切断できる回転刃が得られる。   In the present invention, the width center of the non-cutting surface 45 of the small blades 24 and 25 is shifted from the width center of the cutting surface 44 to the lower side in the rotational direction, and the cutting edge angle θ1 of the cutting edge 48 is changed to the edge angle of the relief edge 49. Since it is smaller than θ2, the cutting edge 48 can be sharpened. Therefore, the rotary blade which can cut | disconnect the cutting | disconnection object efficiently can be obtained by effectively cut | disconnecting the whisker captured by the blade hole 26 with both the small blades 24 and 25.

リブ状の小刃24を回転中心軸線に対して斜めに傾斜させると、刃穴26に捕捉されたひげを切刃48で斜めに引き切りできるので、切刃48の切れ味をさらにシャープなものとして、スパイラル刃を切断要素とする内刃と同様に、切断対象の切断を効果的に行なって、さらに能率よく切断作業を行なうことができる。この場合の小刃は、図5に示す第1小刃24と第2小刃25のいずれか一方で構成でき、その場合には、例えば図27に示すように、隣接する小刃を補強リブで接続して小刃の構造強度を確保するとよい。   When the rib-shaped small blade 24 is inclined obliquely with respect to the rotation center axis, the whisker captured in the blade hole 26 can be cut obliquely by the cutting blade 48, so that the sharpness of the cutting blade 48 is further sharpened. Similarly to the inner blade having a spiral blade as a cutting element, the cutting object can be effectively cut, and the cutting operation can be performed more efficiently. The small blade in this case can be configured with either the first small blade 24 or the second small blade 25 shown in FIG. 5, in which case, for example, as shown in FIG. It is better to secure the structural strength of the blade by connecting with.

互いに交差する第1小刃24の一群と第2小刃25の一群とを、回転中心軸線に対して互いに逆向きに傾斜させて、刃本体20をエキスパンドメタル状に構成すると、切刃48の合計長さを格段に増加できる。また、回転刃を使用してひげ切断を行なう場合には、傾斜方向が異なる両小刃24・25でくせ毛を起こしながら交互に切断できるので、全体としてひげ切断をさらに効率よく行なえる。回転刃の内面に入り込んだ毛屑は簡便に水洗いして除去できるので、常に衛生的な状態を維持できる。   When the group of first blades 24 and the group of second blades 25 that intersect each other are inclined in directions opposite to each other with respect to the rotation center axis, the blade body 20 is configured in an expanded metal shape. The total length can be increased significantly. Further, when cutting a beard using a rotary blade, it is possible to cut the whisker alternately while causing comb hairs with the two small blades 24 and 25 having different inclination directions, so that the beard cutting can be performed more efficiently as a whole. Since the fluff that has entered the inner surface of the rotary blade can be easily washed away with water, the hygienic state can always be maintained.

交差部分における切刃48の切刃角度θ3を、他の部分の切刃の切刃角度θ1より小さくすると、交差部分における切刃48の切れ味を他の切刃部位に比べてさらにシャープなものとすることができる。刃穴26内に入り込んだひげ等の切断対象は、傾斜する両小刃24・25で斜めに引き切りされるが、切断対象の一部は斜めの両小刃24・25に沿って交差部分へ案内される傾向がある。したがって、交差部分に集まった切断対象を、切刃角度θ3が最も小さな切刃48で確実に切断できる。   When the cutting edge angle θ3 of the cutting blade 48 at the intersecting portion is smaller than the cutting blade angle θ1 of the cutting blade of the other portion, the sharpness of the cutting blade 48 at the intersecting portion is sharper than other cutting blade portions. can do. A cutting object such as a beard that has entered the blade hole 26 is obliquely cut by the inclined small blades 24 and 25, but a part of the cutting object is an intersecting portion along the oblique both small blades 24 and 25. There is a tendency to be guided to. Therefore, the cutting objects gathered at the intersecting portion can be reliably cut with the cutting blade 48 having the smallest cutting blade angle θ3.

四辺形状に形成した刃本体20の周縁に無端状の周枠27を設け、互いに交差する小刃24・25の端部を周枠27に連続させると、両小刃24・25の構造強度を向上して刃本体20の強度を高めることができる。また、周枠27で囲まれる領域の全てに小刃24・25を無駄なく形成して、切刃48による切断機会を増加できる。   When an endless peripheral frame 27 is provided on the periphery of the blade body 20 formed in a quadrilateral shape, and the end portions of the small blades 24 and 25 intersecting each other are continued to the peripheral frame 27, the structural strength of both the small blades 24 and 25 is increased. Thus, the strength of the blade body 20 can be increased. Further, the small blades 24 and 25 can be formed without waste in the entire region surrounded by the peripheral frame 27, and the cutting opportunity by the cutting blade 48 can be increased.

刃本体20を平行四辺形状に形成すると、切断時の切断抵抗を長辺周枠27aの長手方向に分散する状態で刃本体20に作用させることができる。詳しくは、刃本体20が外刃10と摺接し始める位置が、刃本体20の長辺周枠27aの一端側から他端側へと変化するので、各小刃24・25に作用する切断抵抗を分散させることができ、リブ状の両小刃24・25に作用する切断抵抗を軽減できる。また、長辺周枠27aに切刃48が形成してある場合には、切刃48を傾斜させて両小刃24・25と同様にひげを引き切りできる。   When the blade body 20 is formed in a parallelogram shape, the cutting resistance at the time of cutting can be applied to the blade body 20 in a state of being distributed in the longitudinal direction of the long side peripheral frame 27a. Specifically, since the position at which the blade body 20 begins to come into sliding contact with the outer blade 10 changes from one end side to the other end side of the long side peripheral frame 27a of the blade body 20, the cutting resistance acting on each of the small blades 24 and 25 The cutting resistance acting on the rib-shaped blades 24 and 25 can be reduced. Further, when the cutting edge 48 is formed on the long side peripheral frame 27a, the cutting edge 48 can be tilted so that the whiskers can be cut in the same manner as the small blades 24 and 25.

長辺周枠27aと小刃24・25の断面幅b1・b2を同じに設定すると、小刃24・25、および刃穴26が形成された刃ブランク43を曲げ加工するときの、長辺周枠27aおよび小刃24・25の変形応力を同じにすることができる。したがって、刃ブランク43を均一な部分円弧状に曲げ加工して、刃本体20の形状精度を向上できる。   When the cross-sectional widths b1 and b2 of the long side peripheral frame 27a and the small blades 24 and 25 are set to be the same, the long side periphery when the blade blank 43 formed with the small blades 24 and 25 and the blade hole 26 is bent. The deformation stress of the frame 27a and the small blades 24 and 25 can be made the same. Therefore, the shape accuracy of the blade body 20 can be improved by bending the blade blank 43 into a uniform partial arc shape.

本発明に係る回転刃を有する小型電気機器によれば、回転刃をモーター動力で回転駆動することにより、ひげや毛玉などの切断対象を回転刃内へ効果的に導入して効率よく切断でき、したがって、髭剃りや毛玉除去などの切断処理を能率よく行なうことができる。   According to the small electric device having the rotary blade according to the present invention, the rotary blade is driven by motor power to effectively introduce a cutting target such as a beard or a hairball into the rotary blade and efficiently cut it. Therefore, cutting processes such as shaving and hairball removal can be performed efficiently.

図1ないし図11は本発明に係る回転刃をロータリー式の電気かみそりの内刃に適用した実施例を示す。図2において電気かみそりは、本体部1と、本体部1で支持されるヘッド部2と、本体部1に装着される外枠3と、本体部1の後面側に配置されるきわ剃りユニット(図示していない)などで構成する。外枠3は装飾枠を兼ねており、本体部1と協同して電気かみそりのグリップを構成している。外枠3の一側上端には、モーター12の通電状態をオン・オフするスイッチボタン4が設けてある。   1 to 11 show an embodiment in which a rotary blade according to the present invention is applied to an inner blade of a rotary electric shaver. In FIG. 2, the electric razor includes a main body portion 1, a head portion 2 supported by the main body portion 1, an outer frame 3 attached to the main body portion 1, and a shaving unit ( (Not shown). The outer frame 3 also serves as a decorative frame, and constitutes an electric razor grip in cooperation with the main body 1. A switch button 4 for turning on / off the energization state of the motor 12 is provided at one upper end of the outer frame 3.

本体部1の内部には、2次電池5や回路基板6が組み込んであり、回路基板6には、先のスイッチボタン4で切り換え操作されるスイッチや、表示灯7用のLED、および制御回路や電源回路を構成する電子部品などが実装してある。   A rechargeable battery 5 and a circuit board 6 are incorporated in the main body 1. The circuit board 6 has a switch that is switched by the previous switch button 4, an LED for an indicator lamp 7, and a control circuit. And electronic components that constitute the power supply circuit are mounted.

ヘッド部2には、外刃10と内刃(回転刃)11とからなるメイン刃が設けてあり、さらに内刃11を駆動するモーター12と、モーター12の回転動力を内刃11に伝動する駆動構造などが設けてある。駆動構造は、一群のギヤトレイン13で構成してある。外刃10は、エッチング法あるいは電鋳法で形成されるシート状の網刃からなり、その前後縁を外刃ホルダー14で支持して、逆U字状に保形してある。ヘッド部2は本体ケース1で上下方向へ浮動可能に支持されており、ヘッド部2と本体ケース1との間は防水パッキンでシールしてある。   The head portion 2 is provided with a main blade including an outer blade 10 and an inner blade (rotating blade) 11, and further transmits a motor 12 for driving the inner blade 11 and the rotational power of the motor 12 to the inner blade 11. A drive structure is provided. The drive structure is composed of a group of gear trains 13. The outer blade 10 is formed of a sheet-like mesh blade formed by an etching method or an electroforming method, and the front and rear edges thereof are supported by the outer blade holder 14 and held in an inverted U shape. The head portion 2 is supported by the main body case 1 so as to be able to float in the vertical direction, and the head portion 2 and the main body case 1 are sealed with waterproof packing.

外刃ホルダー14は、ヘッド部2のヘッドフレーム15に着脱自在に装着されて、ヘッドフレーム15に組み込んだ左右一対のロックボタン16で分離不能にロック保持してある。左右のロックボタン16を同時に押し込み操作すると、ロックボタン16による係合を解除して、外刃ホルダー14をヘッドフレーム15から取り外すことができる。これにより、内刃11を露出させて、ヘッドフレーム15の上面や、内刃11に付着した毛屑を水洗い清掃できる。   The outer blade holder 14 is detachably attached to the head frame 15 of the head unit 2 and is held in a non-separable manner by a pair of left and right lock buttons 16 incorporated in the head frame 15. When the left and right lock buttons 16 are pushed in at the same time, the engagement by the lock buttons 16 is released and the outer blade holder 14 can be detached from the head frame 15. Thereby, the inner blade 11 is exposed, and the upper surface of the head frame 15 and the hair adhering to the inner blade 11 can be washed with water.

図3および図4において内刃11は、3個の刃本体20と、刃本体20を支持する刃ホルダー21と、刃ホルダー21に固定される内刃軸(刃支持軸)22などで構成する。内刃軸22が内刃11の回転軸となる。刃本体20は、左右に長い長方形(四辺形)シート状の刃ブランク43に塑性加工を施して周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧状に形成してあり、刃ホルダー21に対して周方向へ等間隔おきに固定してある。刃本体20の内面の半径寸法は、後述する刃ホルダー21の円弧周面37・39の半径寸法と一致させてあり、円弧幅は円弧周面37・39の周方向幅より僅かに小さく設定する。   3 and 4, the inner blade 11 includes three blade bodies 20, a blade holder 21 that supports the blade body 20, an inner blade shaft (blade support shaft) 22 that is fixed to the blade holder 21, and the like. . The inner cutter shaft 22 is the rotation axis of the inner cutter 11. The blade body 20 is formed by subjecting a rectangular (quadrangle) sheet-like blade blank 43 that is long to the left and right to plastic processing to form a circular arc with the same circumferential curvature, and so on in the circumferential direction with respect to the blade holder 21. Fixed at intervals. The radial dimension of the inner surface of the blade body 20 is made to coincide with the radial dimension of arc peripheral surfaces 37 and 39 of the blade holder 21, which will be described later, and the arc width is set slightly smaller than the circumferential width of the arc peripheral surfaces 37 and 39. .

図5に示すように、刃本体20のシート面には、直線リブ状の第1小刃(小刃)24の一群と、直線リブ状の第2小刃(小刃)25の一群と、これら両小刃24・25で囲まれる菱形の刃穴26の一群と、刃本体20の周囲を囲む周枠27が設けてある。第1小刃24の一群と第2小刃25の一群とは、それぞれ内刃11の回転中心軸線に対して、互いに逆向きに15度ずつ傾斜するように形成してあり、刃本体20の切断領域Rの全体がエキスパンドメタル状に形成してある。各小刃24・25の隣接ピッチは約2.7mmである。両小刃24・25を構成する直線リブは、刃本体20の周方向へ7個ずつ形成してある。   As shown in FIG. 5, on the sheet surface of the blade body 20, a group of linear rib-shaped first blades (small blades) 24, a group of linear rib-shaped second blades (small blades) 25, A group of rhombus blade holes 26 surrounded by these small blades 24 and 25 and a peripheral frame 27 surrounding the periphery of the blade body 20 are provided. The group of first blades 24 and the group of second blades 25 are formed so as to be inclined by 15 degrees in opposite directions with respect to the rotation center axis of the inner blade 11, respectively. The entire cutting region R is formed in an expanded metal shape. The adjacent pitch between the small blades 24 and 25 is about 2.7 mm. Seven straight ribs constituting both the small blades 24 and 25 are formed in the circumferential direction of the blade body 20.

上記のように、刃本体20のシート面に第1小刃24の一群と第2小刃25の一群とをエキスパンドメタル状に設けると、スパイラル刃を切断要素とする従来の内刃に比べて、切刃の合計長さを増強でき、しかも傾斜方向が異なる両小刃24・25でくせ毛を起こしながら交互に切断できる。さらに、網刃構造の従来の内刃に比べて、刃穴26の開口面積が格段に大きくなるので、スパイラル刃を切断要素とする内刃と同様にひげを効果的に導入して、ひげ切断を効率よく行なえる。   As described above, when the group of first blades 24 and the group of second blades 25 are provided in an expanded metal shape on the sheet surface of the blade body 20, compared to a conventional inner blade having a spiral blade as a cutting element. The total length of the cutting blade can be increased, and the cutting blades 24 and 25 having different inclination directions can be cut alternately while causing comb hairs. Furthermore, since the opening area of the blade hole 26 is significantly larger than that of a conventional inner blade having a mesh blade structure, the beard is effectively introduced in the same manner as the inner blade having a spiral blade as a cutting element. Can be done efficiently.

周枠27は、長辺部を構成する一対の長辺周枠27aと、短辺部を構成する一対の短辺周枠27bとで無端枠状に形成してある。先の第1小刃24および第2小刃25の端部は、それぞれ長辺周枠27a、あるいは短辺周枠27bに連続している。長辺周枠27aの断面幅b1と、各小刃24・25の断面幅b2とは同じ寸法(0.45mm)に設定してある。左右の短辺周枠27bの幅寸法は2mmと、長辺周枠27aの断面幅b1に比べて広幅に形成してあり、その周縁に沿って、刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に固定するための固定部28が形成され、さらに、短辺周枠27bの前後端に固定爪29が突設してある。上記のように、周枠27を無端枠状に形成し、互いに交差する両小刃24・25の端部を周枠27に連続させることにより、両小刃24・25のの構造強度を向上して刃本体20の強度を高めることができる。   The peripheral frame 27 is formed in an endless frame shape with a pair of long side peripheral frames 27a constituting the long side portion and a pair of short side peripheral frames 27b constituting the short side portion. The ends of the first first blade 24 and the second second blade 25 are continuous with the long-side peripheral frame 27a or the short-side peripheral frame 27b, respectively. The cross-sectional width b1 of the long side peripheral frame 27a and the cross-sectional width b2 of the small blades 24 and 25 are set to the same dimension (0.45 mm). The width dimension of the left and right short side peripheral frames 27b is 2 mm, which is wider than the cross-sectional width b1 of the long side peripheral frame 27a, and for fixing the blade body 20 to the blade holder 21 along the periphery. A fixing claw 29 is formed on the front and rear ends of the short side peripheral frame 27b. As described above, the peripheral frame 27 is formed in an endless frame shape, and the end portions of the two small blades 24 and 25 that intersect each other are connected to the peripheral frame 27, thereby improving the structural strength of the two small blades 24 and 25. Thus, the strength of the blade body 20 can be increased.

固定部28と固定爪29は、ハーフエッチング加工によって、刃本体20の外周面より凹む凹部として形成してある。ハーフエッチング加工による凹み深さは、ステンレス板材42の厚みの概ね半分となる。固定部28の前後中央には四角形状の位置決め穴30が形成してあり、この位置決め穴30は、後述するようにステンレス板材42をエッチング加工する過程で同時に形成される。周枠27で囲まれる切断領域Rにも、固定部28と同様の切刃固定部31を設ける。   The fixed portion 28 and the fixed claw 29 are formed as a recess recessed from the outer peripheral surface of the blade body 20 by half etching. The depth of the recess by the half etching process is approximately half of the thickness of the stainless steel plate 42. A rectangular positioning hole 30 is formed in the front and rear center of the fixed portion 28, and the positioning hole 30 is formed simultaneously in the course of etching the stainless plate member 42 as will be described later. A cutting edge fixing portion 31 similar to the fixing portion 28 is also provided in the cutting region R surrounded by the peripheral frame 27.

具体的には、両小刃24・25の交差部分において、内刃11の回転方向下手側に切刃固定部31を形成している。切刃固定部31は、固定部28と同様にハーフエッチング加工で凹部として形成してあり、これらのハーフエッチング部分を図5に点描で示している。この実施例においては、切断領域Rの左右幅方向の中央に位置する両小刃24・25の交差部分(5個所)と、この中央位置から切断領域Rの左右幅の3分の1だけ離れた位置にある両小刃24・25の交差部分(各5個所)とに切刃固定部31を設けるようにした。なお、3個の刃本体20は同一形状で、同一寸法の部品からなる。   Specifically, the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is formed on the lower side in the rotational direction of the inner blade 11 at the intersection of the two small blades 24 and 25. The cutting blade fixing portion 31 is formed as a concave portion by half-etching similarly to the fixing portion 28, and these half-etched portions are indicated by dotted lines in FIG. In this embodiment, the intersecting portion (five places) of the two blades 24 and 25 located at the center of the cutting region R in the left-right width direction is separated from this center position by one third of the left-right width of the cutting region R. The cutting blade fixing portions 31 are provided at the intersecting portions (5 locations each) of the two small blades 24 and 25 at the above positions. The three blade bodies 20 have the same shape and the same size.

図4において刃ホルダー21は、2個の刃受体(刃受部)34と、3個の切刃支持体(切刃支持部)35をそれぞれ内刃軸22に溶接して一体化してある。刃受体34は、刃ホルダー21の両側端に配置され、3個の切刃支持体35は、両刃受体34の間に等間隔おきに配置されて、刃本体20の切断領域Rを内面側から支持する。3個の切刃支持体35のうち中央の切刃支持体35は、内刃11の左右方向の中央に位置している。刃受体34は基本形状が円形のステンレス製の円板で構成してあり、円板の周囲3個所に、円板周面で開口する台形状の爪受部36が等間隔おきに切リ欠き形成してある。爪受部36に挟まれる円弧周面37の周方向中央部には、それぞれ位置決めピン(位置決め突起)38が突設してある。   In FIG. 4, the blade holder 21 is integrated by welding two blade receivers (blade receiving portions) 34 and three cutting blade supports (cutting blade support portions) 35 to the inner blade shaft 22. . The blade receivers 34 are arranged at both side ends of the blade holder 21, and the three cutting blade supports 35 are arranged at equal intervals between the two blade receivers 34, so that the cutting region R of the blade body 20 is formed on the inner surface. Support from the side. Of the three cutting blade supports 35, the central cutting blade support 35 is located at the center in the left-right direction of the inner blade 11. The blade receiver 34 is formed of a stainless steel disc having a circular basic shape, and a trapezoidal claw receiving portion 36 that is opened at the circumferential surface of the disc is cut at regular intervals at three locations around the disc. It is not formed. Positioning pins (positioning protrusions) 38 project from the circumferential center of the circular arc surface 37 sandwiched between the claw receiving portions 36.

切刃支持体35は、刃受体34と同様に形成するが、その円弧周面39における位置決めピン38を省略する点が刃受体34と異なる。切刃支持体35は、先の切刃固定部28と対応する位置に固定してある。内刃軸22はステンレス製の丸軸からなり、仕上げ研削加工が終了した後に、その一方の軸端に終段ギヤ40(図2参照)を固定する。   The cutting blade support 35 is formed in the same manner as the blade receiver 34, but is different from the blade receiver 34 in that the positioning pins 38 on the circular arc peripheral surface 39 are omitted. The cutting blade support 35 is fixed at a position corresponding to the previous cutting blade fixing portion 28. The inner cutter shaft 22 is made of a stainless steel round shaft, and after the finish grinding is completed, the final gear 40 (see FIG. 2) is fixed to one of the shaft ends.

刃ブランク43は、厚みが0.254mmのステンレス板材(金属シート)42にエッチング処理を施して形成してある。図6に示すように、第1小刃24、および第2小刃25の基本的な断面形状は、外面の切断面44と、内面の非切断面45と、これら両者44・45の端縁間を湾曲する状態で抉る一対の側辺部46・47とで斜めに歪んだ盃形に形成する。一方の側辺部46と切断面44とで、切断面44の回転方向上手側に切刃48が形成され、他方の側辺部47と切断面44とで、切断面44の回転方向下手側に逃げ縁49が形成される。切断面44の中央には、各小刃24・25の長手方向に沿って溝50が形成してある。このように溝50を設けることによって、切断面44の外刃10に対する接触摩擦を軽減することができる。各図に内刃11の回転方向を矢印Mで示している。なお、図6(a)〜(c)は、図7におけるa−a線、b−b線、c−c線に沿う断面図であり、切刃48の角度θ1は25度、θ2は60度、θ3は20度である。   The blade blank 43 is formed by etching a stainless steel plate (metal sheet) 42 having a thickness of 0.254 mm. As shown in FIG. 6, the basic cross-sectional shapes of the first blade 24 and the second blade 25 are as follows: an outer cut surface 44, an inner non-cut surface 45, and edges of both 44 and 45. A pair of side portions 46 and 47 which are bent in a curved state are formed into a hook shape which is obliquely distorted. A cutting edge 48 is formed on the upper side in the rotation direction of the cutting surface 44 by the one side portion 46 and the cutting surface 44, and the lower side in the rotation direction of the cutting surface 44 is formed by the other side portion 47 and the cutting surface 44. A clearance edge 49 is formed on the surface. A groove 50 is formed in the center of the cut surface 44 along the longitudinal direction of each of the blades 24 and 25. By providing the groove 50 in this way, the contact friction of the cut surface 44 against the outer blade 10 can be reduced. In each figure, the rotation direction of the inner blade 11 is indicated by an arrow M. 6A to 6C are cross-sectional views taken along the lines aa, bb, and cc in FIG. 7, and the angle θ1 of the cutting edge 48 is 25 degrees, and θ2 is 60. Degree, θ3 is 20 degrees.

刃ブランク43を形成する過程では、図8に示すように、ステンレス板材(金属シート)42の表裏両面にそれぞれレジスト膜55・56を形成したのち露光したのち、露光部を除去して、非露光部のレジスト膜55・56に囲まれる板材表面をエッチング液で蝕刻する。このとき、表側のレジスト膜55の幅を裏側のレジスト膜56の幅より大きくし、さらに、裏側のレジスト膜56の幅中心を表側のレジスト膜55の幅中心から、内刃11の回転方向下手側へずらしておく。なお、図8(a)〜(c)の小刃24・25の断面は、図6(a)〜(c)の小刃24・25の断面に対応している。   In the process of forming the blade blank 43, as shown in FIG. 8, after the resist films 55 and 56 are formed on both the front and back surfaces of the stainless steel plate (metal sheet) 42, respectively, the exposed portions are removed, and the non-exposed portions are removed. The plate material surface surrounded by the resist films 55 and 56 is etched with an etching solution. At this time, the width of the resist film 55 on the front side is made larger than the width of the resist film 56 on the back side, and the width center of the resist film 56 on the back side is lower than the width center of the resist film 55 on the front side. Move it to the side. In addition, the cross section of the small blades 24 and 25 of FIG. 8 (a)-(c) respond | corresponds to the cross section of the small blades 24 and 25 of FIG. 6 (a)-(c).

上記のように、表側のレジスト膜55の幅を裏側のレジスト膜56の幅より大きくすると、ステンレス板材54の裏側の露出面積が、表側の露出面積に比べて大きくなり、その分だけ裏面側の蝕刻の度合が大きくなる。また、表裏両面から成長した湾曲面は、最終的にひとつの湾曲面になって側辺部46・47を形成するが、裏側のレジスト膜56の幅中心が表側のレジスト膜55の幅中心から回転方向下手側へずらしてあるため、切断面44側の湾曲面の抉り深さは、非切断面45側の湾曲面の抉り深さに比べて大きくなる。その結果、非切断面45の幅中心を、切断面44の幅中心より回転方向下手側に寸法T(図6参照)の分だけずらして、切刃48の切刃角度θ1を逃げ縁49のエッジ角度θ2より小さくし、鋭く尖らせることができる。なお、切刃48は、長辺周枠27aの切断面44側の回転方向上手側にも形成してある。   As described above, when the width of the resist film 55 on the front side is made larger than the width of the resist film 56 on the back side, the exposed area on the back side of the stainless steel plate material 54 becomes larger than the exposed area on the front side, and accordingly, the exposed area on the back side. The degree of etching increases. In addition, the curved surfaces grown from both the front and back surfaces finally become one curved surface to form the side portions 46 and 47, but the width center of the resist film 56 on the back side is from the width center of the resist film 55 on the front side. Since the rotation direction is shifted to the lower side, the bending depth of the curved surface on the cut surface 44 side is larger than the depth of the curved surface on the non-cut surface 45 side. As a result, the center of the width of the non-cutting surface 45 is shifted from the center of the width of the cutting surface 44 to the lower side in the rotational direction by the dimension T (see FIG. 6). It can be made sharper and sharper than the edge angle θ2. The cutting blade 48 is also formed on the upper side in the rotational direction on the cutting surface 44 side of the long side peripheral frame 27a.

同様に、第1小刃24と第2小刃25の交差部分において、裏側の露光部の幅中心を表側の露光部の幅中心から大きくずらすことにより、交差部分における切刃48の切刃角度θ3を20度として、両小刃24・25の他の部分の切刃の切刃角度θ1(25度)より小さくすることができる。したがって、交差部分における切刃48の切れ味は、他の切刃部位に比べてさらにシャープにすることができる。両小刃24・25は、内刃11の回転中心軸に対して互いに逆向きに傾斜している。そのため、外刃10の刃穴で捕捉されて刃穴26内に入り込んだひげを、斜めに引き切りしてシャープな切れ味を発揮できる。また、刃穴26内に入り込んだひげは、斜めの切刃48に沿って両小刃24・25の交差部分へ案内される傾向があり、したがって、切刃角度θ3が最も小さな交差部分における切刃48でひげをさらにシャープに切断できることとなる。   Similarly, at the intersection of the first blade 24 and the second blade 25, the cutting edge angle of the cutting blade 48 at the intersection is greatly shifted by shifting the width center of the exposed portion on the back side from the width center of the exposing portion on the front side. If θ3 is 20 degrees, it can be made smaller than the cutting edge angle θ1 (25 degrees) of the cutting edge of the other part of both small blades 24 and 25. Therefore, the sharpness of the cutting blade 48 at the intersecting portion can be further sharpened compared to other cutting blade portions. Both the small blades 24 and 25 are inclined in directions opposite to each other with respect to the rotation center axis of the inner blade 11. For this reason, the beard that is captured by the blade hole of the outer blade 10 and enters the blade hole 26 can be cut obliquely to exhibit sharp sharpness. Further, the whisker that has entered the blade hole 26 tends to be guided along the oblique cutting edge 48 to the intersecting portion of the two small blades 24 and 25, and accordingly, the cutting at the intersecting portion where the cutting blade angle θ3 is the smallest. The blade 48 can cut the beard more sharply.

エッチング加工で得られた刃ブランク43を、金型を用いてプレス加工することにより、図9(b)に示すように周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧状に折り曲げられた刃本体20が得られる。このとき、各小刃24・25の長手方向に沿って溝50が形成してあるので、刃ブランク43を容易にしかも内部歪の発生を抑止しながら曲げ加工できる。刃ブランク43を断面円弧状に折り曲げたのち、固定爪29を対向する向きに折り曲げておく。以上のように、刃ブランク43に塑性加工を施して刃本体20を周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧状に形成すると、刃本体20は自己の保形力で適正な折り曲げ形状を維持できる。なお、周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧状とは、周方向の曲率が厳密に同じである場合はもちろん、刃本体20の周方向の曲率が部分的に異なっている場合、例えば、周方向両端(長辺周枠27a部分)の曲率半径が他の部位より僅かに小さい(あるいは僅かに大きい)場合を含むこととする。その理由は後述する。   By cutting the blade blank 43 obtained by etching using a mold, a blade body 20 is obtained that is bent into a circular arc shape having the same circumferential curvature as shown in FIG. 9B. . At this time, since the groove 50 is formed along the longitudinal direction of each of the small blades 24 and 25, the blade blank 43 can be easily bent while suppressing the occurrence of internal distortion. After the blade blank 43 is bent into a circular arc shape, the fixed claw 29 is bent in the opposite direction. As described above, when the blade blank 43 is plastically processed to form the blade body 20 in a circular arc shape having the same curvature in the circumferential direction, the blade body 20 can maintain an appropriate bent shape with its own shape retaining force. Note that the circular arc shape having the same circumferential curvature is not only when the circumferential curvature is exactly the same, but also when the circumferential curvature of the blade body 20 is partially different, for example, both circumferential ends. The case where the radius of curvature of the (long-side peripheral frame 27a portion) is slightly smaller (or slightly larger) than other portions is included. The reason will be described later.

得られた刃本体20は、次のようにして刃ホルダー21に組み付ける。まず、ひとつの刃本体20を拡開状に弾性変形させて固定爪29の間隔を拡げ、その状態で位置決め穴30を位置決めピン38に係合したのち、左右の固定爪29を爪受部36にパチンと係合して、固定部28の内面を刃受体34の円弧周面37に密着させる。これにより、刃本体20が左右の位置決めピン38と爪受部36とで位置決めされる。   The obtained blade body 20 is assembled to the blade holder 21 as follows. First, one blade body 20 is elastically deformed in an expanded shape to widen the gap between the fixed claws 29. In this state, the positioning holes 30 are engaged with the positioning pins 38, and then the left and right fixed claws 29 are moved to the claw receiving portions 36. The inner surface of the fixed portion 28 is brought into close contact with the arcuate circumferential surface 37 of the blade receiver 34. As a result, the blade body 20 is positioned by the left and right positioning pins 38 and the claw receiving portion 36.

上記の状態で、刃本体20の幅方向の3個所に設けられた切刃固定部31を切刃支持体35の円弧周面39にスポット溶接し、さらに、左右の固定部28を刃受体34の円弧周面37にスポット溶接する。このとき、固定部28および切刃固定部31がハーフエッチング加工によって他の部位より薄く形成してあるので、より確実にスポット溶接を行なうことができる。スポット跡が刃本体20の表面に露出することもない。同様にして、残る2個の刃本体20の切刃固定部31および固定部28を、切刃支持体35および刃受体34にスポット溶接する。   In the above-described state, the cutting blade fixing portions 31 provided at three locations in the width direction of the blade body 20 are spot-welded to the arc peripheral surface 39 of the cutting blade support 35, and the left and right fixing portions 28 are further connected to the blade receiver. Spot welding is performed on the arc peripheral surface 37 of 34. At this time, since the fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 are formed thinner than other portions by half etching, spot welding can be performed more reliably. The spot mark is not exposed on the surface of the blade body 20. Similarly, the cutting blade fixing portions 31 and the fixing portions 28 of the remaining two blade main bodies 20 are spot-welded to the cutting blade support 35 and the blade receiver 34.

各刃本体20をスポット溶接する場合には、図10に示すように、切刃固定部31では符号60で示すように周方向の5個所を等間隔おきに溶接し、固定部28では符号59で示すように周方向の8個所を等間隔おきに溶接する。このように、切刃固定部31における固定個所数を、刃本体20の固定部28における固定個所数より小さく設定すると、切断領域Rの歪を可及的に防止しながら、切断領域Rが切刃支持体35から浮き離れるのを確実に防止できる。これにより、全体として刃本体20の左右両端の16個所と、切断領域の15個所を刃ホルダー21に強固に固定している。なお、切刃支持体35を内刃軸22の軸芯に沿って4列設け、その溶接個所数が周方向へ5個所ある場合には、切断領域Rの全溶接個所数が20個所となって、切刃固定部31における固定個所(16個所)より大きくなるが、本発明における固定個所数の大小は、周方向の固定個所列ごとの比較であり、先のように切断領域Rの全溶接個所数が大きくなる場合も含むこととする。刃本体20の左右両端、および切断領域の15個所を刃ホルダー21に強固に固定できる。また、切刃固定部31を、構造強度が大きな両小刃24・25の交差部分の逃げ縁49の側に凹み形成するので、スポット溶接に伴なう熱歪を最小限化して、刃本体20の変形を防止できる。   When spot welding each blade body 20, as shown in FIG. 10, the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is welded at five intervals in the circumferential direction as indicated by reference numeral 60, and the fixing portion 28 is indicated by reference numeral 59. As shown in Fig. 8, the eight parts in the circumferential direction are welded at equal intervals. As described above, when the number of fixing points in the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is set to be smaller than the number of fixing points in the fixing portion 28 of the blade body 20, the cutting region R is cut while preventing distortion of the cutting region R as much as possible. It is possible to reliably prevent the blade support 35 from being lifted off. As a result, as a whole, 16 locations on both the left and right ends of the blade body 20 and 15 locations in the cutting area are firmly fixed to the blade holder 21. In addition, when four rows of cutting blade supports 35 are provided along the axis of the inner blade shaft 22 and there are five welding points in the circumferential direction, the total number of welding points in the cutting region R is twenty. The number of fixed points in the present invention is larger than the fixed points (16 points) in the cutting blade fixing part 31, but the number of fixed points in the present invention is a comparison for each fixed point row in the circumferential direction. This includes cases where the total number of welds is large. The left and right ends of the blade body 20 and 15 points in the cutting area can be firmly fixed to the blade holder 21. In addition, since the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is recessed on the side of the clearance edge 49 at the intersection of the two small blades 24 and 25 having a high structural strength, the thermal strain associated with spot welding is minimized, and the blade body 20 deformation can be prevented.

スポット溶接を経て得られた内刃前段体は、図11(a)に示すように刃本体20の外面に位置決めピン38が突出しているので、図11(b)に示すように粗研削加工を施して位置決めピン38を刃本体20の表面と面一になるまで研削する。さらに仕上げ研削加工を施して、各刃本体20の周面を整形し、内刃11の外周面の直径寸法、および真円度を所定の状態に仕上げる。このように、刃本体20に研削加工を施すことによって回転刃(切断面44)の真円度を充分に確保できるので、先に説明したように刃本体20の周方向の曲率が部分的に多少異なっていても問題はない。また、研削仕上げを行なわない場合であっても、曲率半径が他の部位より小さい場合には問題なく使用でき、本発明でいう真円度の概念は、このように周方向の曲率が部分的に多少異なっている場合を含むこととする。   As shown in FIG. 11 (a), since the positioning pin 38 protrudes from the outer surface of the blade body 20 in the former stage body of the inner blade obtained through spot welding, rough grinding is performed as shown in FIG. 11 (b). The positioning pins 38 are ground until they are flush with the surface of the blade body 20. Further, finish grinding is performed to shape the peripheral surface of each blade body 20 and finish the diameter and roundness of the outer peripheral surface of the inner blade 11 to a predetermined state. Thus, since the roundness of the rotary blade (cut surface 44) can be sufficiently ensured by grinding the blade body 20, the circumferential curvature of the blade body 20 is partially reduced as described above. There is no problem even if it is slightly different. Even if the grinding finish is not performed, it can be used without any problem if the radius of curvature is smaller than other parts, and the concept of roundness in the present invention is such that the curvature in the circumferential direction is partially The case of slightly different is included.

得られた内刃11は、図3に示すように全体が中空筒状ないし円筒籠状に構成され、刃本体20の自己保形力と刃ホルダー21の支持作用とによって中空筒構造を維持できる。このように、中空筒状に構成した内刃11によれば、切断された毛屑を内刃11内に落下させ、さらに内刃11の下方の毛屑収容室に落下できるので、刃本体20における毛屑の滞留を防止して効果的にひげを導入できる。また、水洗い清掃時には、刃本体20の内面に入り込んだ毛屑の排出を促進して、常に衛生的な状態を維持できる。なお、内刃11の内部空間に落ち込んだ毛屑は、爪受部36に臨む状態で隣接する刃本体20の隙間から排出でき、さらに、開口面積が大きな刃穴26からも併行して排出して、毛屑や皮脂などを速やかに洗い流すことができる。内刃11を構成する3個の刃本体20の構造を、小刃24・25を含めて同一形状、同一寸法とし、さらに各刃本体20を刃ホルダー21の周面に等間隔おきに固定するので、回転時の内刃11の重量バランスを均一化できる。したがって、内刃11を常に安定した状態で回転駆動でき、振動の発生を防止できる。   As shown in FIG. 3, the obtained inner blade 11 is entirely formed in a hollow cylindrical shape or a cylindrical bowl shape, and can maintain a hollow cylindrical structure by the self-shaping force of the blade body 20 and the support action of the blade holder 21. . Thus, according to the inner cutter 11 configured in a hollow cylindrical shape, the cut flakes can be dropped into the inner cutter 11 and further dropped into the fluff storage chamber below the inner cutter 11, so that the blade body 20 It is possible to effectively introduce whiskers by preventing the staying of hair chips. Moreover, at the time of cleaning by washing with water, it is possible to promote the discharge of the fluff that has entered the inner surface of the blade body 20, and to always maintain a sanitary state. It should be noted that the dust that has fallen into the internal space of the inner blade 11 can be discharged from the gap between the adjacent blade bodies 20 in a state of facing the claw receiving portion 36, and further discharged from the blade hole 26 having a large opening area. In this way, it is possible to quickly wash away hair chips and sebum. The structure of the three blade bodies 20 constituting the inner blade 11 has the same shape and the same dimensions including the small blades 24 and 25, and each blade body 20 is fixed to the peripheral surface of the blade holder 21 at regular intervals. Therefore, the weight balance of the inner blade 11 during rotation can be made uniform. Therefore, the inner blade 11 can be always driven to rotate in a stable state, and the occurrence of vibration can be prevented.

図12および図13は、刃本体20の別実施例を示す。そこでは、長辺周枠27aを内刃11の回転中心軸線に対して傾斜させて、刃本体20を平行四辺形状に形成した。長辺周枠27aは第1小刃24と同じ向きに同じ角度だけ傾斜してある。このように、刃本体20を平行四辺形状に形成すると、ひげ切断時の切断抵抗を長辺周枠27aの長手方向に分散する状態で刃本体20に作用させることができる。詳しくは、刃本体20の外刃10と摺接し始める位置が、刃本体20の長辺周枠27aの一端側から他端側へと変化するので、各小刃24・25に作用する切断抵抗を分散させることができ、両小刃24・25に作用する切断抵抗を小さくできる。また、長辺周枠27aに形成される切刃48も傾斜させて、両小刃24・25と同様にひげを引き切りできる。   12 and 13 show another embodiment of the blade body 20. In this case, the long side peripheral frame 27a is inclined with respect to the rotation center axis of the inner blade 11, and the blade body 20 is formed in a parallelogram shape. The long side peripheral frame 27a is inclined in the same direction as the first small blade 24 by the same angle. Thus, when the blade body 20 is formed in a parallelogram shape, the cutting resistance at the time of cutting the whiskers can be applied to the blade body 20 in a state of being distributed in the longitudinal direction of the long-side peripheral frame 27a. Specifically, the position at which the blade body 20 starts to come into sliding contact with the outer blade 10 changes from one end side to the other end side of the long side peripheral frame 27a of the blade body 20, so that the cutting resistance acting on each of the small blades 24 and 25 is changed. And the cutting resistance acting on the two blades 24 and 25 can be reduced. In addition, the cutting blade 48 formed on the long side peripheral frame 27a is also inclined so that the whiskers can be cut in the same manner as the small blades 24 and 25.

刃本体20は、図13に示すように刃ホルダー21に組み付けたのち、固定部28および切刃固定部31のそれぞれを、刃受体34および切刃支持体35に溶接して固定する。この場合には、周方向へ隣接する刃本体20の間に斜めの隙間が開口されるので、外刃10に、その刃面を内刃11へ押し付ける向きの外力が作用する場合であっても、外刃10が先の隙間から垂れ込むのを防止できる。他は先の実施例と同じであるので、同じ部材に同じ符号を付してその説明を省略する。以下の実施例においても同じとする。   After the blade body 20 is assembled to the blade holder 21 as shown in FIG. 13, the fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 are welded and fixed to the blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35, respectively. In this case, since an oblique gap is opened between the blade bodies 20 adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction, even when an external force is applied to the outer blade 10 so as to press the blade surface against the inner blade 11. The outer blade 10 can be prevented from sagging from the previous gap. Since others are the same as the previous embodiment, the same reference numerals are assigned to the same members, and descriptions thereof are omitted. The same applies to the following embodiments.

図14は刃ホルダー21の別実施例を示す。そこでは、刃受体34と、切刃支持体35と、ボス部63とを一体に射出成形し、内刃軸22をインサート固定した。図示していないが、円弧周面37・39にはそれぞれ溶着用の突起が形成してある。また、刃本体20の固定部28および切刃固定部31には、溶着用の突起と係合する穴が形成してある。この場合の刃本体20は、刃ホルダー21に対して溶着固定する。必要があれば、刃受体34、切刃支持体35、ボス部63と、内刃軸22を一体に構成して刃ホルダー21とすることができる。   FIG. 14 shows another embodiment of the blade holder 21. In this case, the blade receiver 34, the cutting blade support 35, and the boss portion 63 were integrally formed by injection molding, and the inner blade shaft 22 was fixed by insert. Although not shown, welding arcs 37 and 39 are formed with welding projections, respectively. Further, the fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 of the blade body 20 are formed with holes that engage with the projections for welding. The blade body 20 in this case is welded and fixed to the blade holder 21. If necessary, the blade holder 34, the cutting blade support 35, the boss portion 63, and the inner blade shaft 22 can be configured integrally to form the blade holder 21.

刃ホルダー21の刃受体34と切刃支持体35は、図15(a)に示すように三角形状に形成することができ、その場合には、刃受体34および切刃支持体35の頂部に限って円弧周面37・39を設けて、各刃本体20の長辺周枠27aのみを刃受体34および切刃支持体35で支持することができる。この場合には、固定爪29は省略してある。刃本体20は、刃ホルダー21に対して周方向へ等間隔おきに配置する。このように刃本体20の周方向端部のみを刃受体34および切刃支持体35で支持する場合でも、塑性加工された刃本体20は部分円弧形状(周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧形状)を自己保持できるので、小刃24・25が外力を受けて内面側へ凹むことはない。この実施例における内刃11においては、3個の刃本体20を周方向へ等間隔おきに配置するので、回転時の内刃11の重量バランスを均一化して、振動の発生を防止できる。   The blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35 of the blade holder 21 can be formed in a triangular shape as shown in FIG. 15A, and in that case, the blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35 Only the long peripheral frame 27a of each blade body 20 can be supported by the blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35 by providing the arc peripheral surfaces 37 and 39 only at the top. In this case, the fixing claw 29 is omitted. The blade body 20 is arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction with respect to the blade holder 21. Thus, even when only the circumferential end of the blade body 20 is supported by the blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35, the plastically processed blade body 20 has a partial arc shape (a cross-sectional arc shape with the same circumferential curvature). ) Can be held by itself, so that the small blades 24 and 25 do not dent to the inner surface side due to external force. In the inner blade 11 in this embodiment, the three blade bodies 20 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, so that the weight balance of the inner blade 11 during rotation can be made uniform and the occurrence of vibration can be prevented.

刃受体34と切刃支持体35は、図15(b)に示すように六角形状に形成することができる。この場合の内刃11は、半円状に折り曲げられた2個の刃本体20を、刃ホルダー21に固定して構成してある。刃本体20は周枠27と、切断領域Rの中途部2個所とが刃受体34と切刃支持体35とで支持される。刃本体20は、刃ホルダー21に対して周方向へ等間隔おきに配置してあり、先の実施例と同様に、固定爪29は省略してある。この実施例における内刃11は、2個の刃本体20を周方向へ等間隔おきに配置するので、回転時の内刃11の重量バランスを均一化して、振動の発生を防止できる。   The blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35 can be formed in a hexagonal shape as shown in FIG. The inner blade 11 in this case is configured by fixing two blade bodies 20 bent in a semicircular shape to a blade holder 21. The blade body 20 is supported by a blade receiver 34 and a cutting blade support 35 at a peripheral frame 27 and two midway portions of the cutting region R. The blade body 20 is arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction with respect to the blade holder 21, and the fixed claws 29 are omitted as in the previous embodiment. In the inner blade 11 in this embodiment, the two blade main bodies 20 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, so that the weight balance of the inner blade 11 during rotation can be made uniform and the occurrence of vibration can be prevented.

刃受体34と切刃支持体35は、図15(c)に示すように糸巻きボビン形状に形成することができる。また、2個の刃本体20は、図15(b)の刃本体20に比べて周方向長さを小さくして、大きな隙間を間にして隣接するように固定することができる。刃本体20は、刃ホルダー21に対して周方向へ等間隔おきに配置してあり、先の実施例と同様に、固定爪29は省略してある。この実施例における内刃11は、2個の刃本体20を周方向へ等間隔おきに配置するので、回転時の内刃11の重量バランスを均一化して、振動の発生を防止できる。   The blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35 can be formed in a bobbin shape as shown in FIG. Further, the two blade bodies 20 can be fixed so as to be adjacent to each other with a large gap therebetween, with the circumferential length being smaller than that of the blade body 20 of FIG. The blade body 20 is arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction with respect to the blade holder 21, and the fixed claws 29 are omitted as in the previous embodiment. In the inner blade 11 in this embodiment, the two blade main bodies 20 are arranged at equal intervals in the circumferential direction, so that the weight balance of the inner blade 11 during rotation can be made uniform and the occurrence of vibration can be prevented.

図16は、各小刃24・25の断面形状の別実施例を示す。そこでは、図6で説明した小刃24・25と同様に、非切断面45の幅中心を、切断面44の幅中心より回転方向下手側に寸法Tだけずらして、切刃48の切刃角度θ1を鋭く尖らせる。異なるのは、非切断面45の回転下手側の蝕刻縁51を、切断面44の逃げ縁49よりも回転下手側へ突出する点である。これにより、小刃24・25の回転方向の小刃幅を大きくできるので、切断された毛屑が回転刃の内方から外方へ飛び出るのをよく防止できる。また、切断面44の回転方向の幅に変化はないので、ひげ導入を効果的に行なえる。   FIG. 16 shows another embodiment of the sectional shape of each of the small blades 24 and 25. In this case, similarly to the small blades 24 and 25 described in FIG. 6, the width center of the non-cutting surface 45 is shifted by a dimension T from the width center of the cutting surface 44 to the lower side in the rotation direction, thereby cutting the cutting blade 48. Sharply sharpen the angle θ1. The difference is that the etching edge 51 on the lower rotation side of the non-cutting surface 45 protrudes to the lower rotation side than the escape edge 49 of the cutting surface 44. Thereby, since the small blade width of the rotation direction of the small blades 24 and 25 can be enlarged, it can prevent well that the cut | judged fluff jumps out from the inner side of a rotary blade. Further, since there is no change in the width of the cut surface 44 in the rotational direction, whiskers can be introduced effectively.

図17は電気かみそりの別の実施例を示す。そこでは、回転刃11の周囲に、回転刃11の食い込み量を規制するガード体65を設けて、これら両者11・65をモーター動力で回転駆動する。ガード体65はコイルばね状に形成してあり、コイル部を回転刃11の周面に巻き付けて、その両端が回転刃11に固定してある。本発明の回転刃11は、この種の外刃を備えていない電気かみそりにも適用できる。   FIG. 17 shows another embodiment of an electric razor. In this case, a guard body 65 for restricting the amount of biting of the rotary blade 11 is provided around the rotary blade 11, and both of these 11 and 65 are driven to rotate by motor power. The guard body 65 is formed in a coil spring shape, and the coil portion is wound around the circumferential surface of the rotary blade 11, and both ends thereof are fixed to the rotary blade 11. The rotary blade 11 of the present invention can also be applied to an electric razor that does not include this type of outer blade.

図6に示す小刃24・25においては、裏側の露光部の幅中心を表側の露光部の幅中心から大きくずらして側辺部26・27の抉り深さを調整したが、図18に示すように交差分における非切断面45の幅寸法b3を小さくすることによっても抉り深さを調整することができる。詳しくは、交差部に近づくに従って非切断面45の回転上手側の蝕刻縁52を回転下手側へ凹ませて抉り深さを調整した。   In the blades 24 and 25 shown in FIG. 6, the width center of the back side exposed portion is largely shifted from the width center of the front side exposed portion to adjust the depth of the side portions 26 and 27. In this way, the turning depth can also be adjusted by reducing the width dimension b3 of the non-cut surface 45 at the intersection. Specifically, the etching edge 52 on the upper side of the rotation of the non-cut surface 45 is recessed toward the lower side of the uncut surface 45 as the intersection is approached, so that the grooving depth is adjusted.

図19ないし図21は、回転刃11を電気かみそり以外の小型電気機器に適用した実施例を示す。
図19は、回転刃11を爪切りに適用した実施例である。爪切りは、グリップを兼ねる本体部68の一端に円筒状のヘッド部69を設け、その内部にヘッド部69の筒軸心の回りに回転する回転刃11を配置して、本体部68に収容したモーター70で回転刃11を回転駆動するようにした。符号72は2次電池、符号73はモーター70を起動し、あるいは停止するためのスイッチボタンである。ヘッド部69の筒周壁には半円状の切断窓71が開口してあり、この窓71を介して回転刃11がヘッド部69の外面に露出させてある。爪を切断する場合には、回転駆動した状態の回転刃11を爪の先端に押し付けて、爪を少しずつ削りとる。
FIG. 19 thru | or FIG. 21 shows the Example which applied the rotary blade 11 to small electric equipments other than an electric shaver.
FIG. 19 shows an embodiment in which the rotary blade 11 is applied to nail cutting. The nail clipper is housed in the main body 68 by providing a cylindrical head portion 69 at one end of the main body 68 that also serves as a grip, and a rotating blade 11 that rotates around the cylinder axis of the head 69. The rotary blade 11 is driven to rotate by the motor 70. Reference numeral 72 is a secondary battery, and reference numeral 73 is a switch button for starting or stopping the motor 70. A semicircular cutting window 71 is opened in the cylindrical peripheral wall of the head portion 69, and the rotary blade 11 is exposed to the outer surface of the head portion 69 through the window 71. When cutting the nail, the rotary blade 11 in a rotationally driven state is pressed against the tip of the nail, and the nail is scraped off little by little.

図20は、回転刃11を毛玉取り器に適用した実施例である。毛玉取り器は、グリップを兼ねる本体部68の一端に円筒状のヘッド部69を設け、その内部にヘッド部69の筒軸心の回りに回転する回転刃11を配置して、本体部68に収容したモーター70で回転刃11を回転駆動するようにした。符号72は2次電池、符号73はモーター70を起動し、あるいは停止するためのスイッチボタンである。ヘッド部69の筒周壁には部分円弧状の切断窓71が開口してあり、この窓71を介して外刃10がヘッド部69の外面に露出させてある。毛玉は外刃10の刃穴から導入されて、外刃10の内面に摺接する内刃(回転刃)11で切断される。この場合の外刃10および回転刃11は、爪切りの回転刃11に比べて軸心方向の長さが充分に大きくしてあり、したがって、回転刃11のニット生地に対する接触面積をより大きくして、毛玉を効果的に除去できる。   FIG. 20 shows an embodiment in which the rotary blade 11 is applied to a hair ball remover. The fluff remover is provided with a cylindrical head portion 69 at one end of a main body portion 68 that also serves as a grip, and a rotary blade 11 that rotates around the cylinder axis of the head portion 69 is disposed inside the main body portion 68. The rotary blade 11 is driven to rotate by the accommodated motor 70. Reference numeral 72 is a secondary battery, and reference numeral 73 is a switch button for starting or stopping the motor 70. A partial arc-shaped cutting window 71 is opened in the cylindrical peripheral wall of the head portion 69, and the outer blade 10 is exposed to the outer surface of the head portion 69 through the window 71. The fluff is introduced from the blade hole of the outer blade 10 and cut by the inner blade (rotary blade) 11 that is in sliding contact with the inner surface of the outer blade 10. In this case, the outer blade 10 and the rotary blade 11 are sufficiently longer in the axial direction than the nail-cutting rotary blade 11, and therefore the contact area of the rotary blade 11 with respect to the knit fabric is further increased. The hairball can be effectively removed.

図21は、回転刃11を角質除去器に適用した実施例である。角質除去器は、グリップを兼ねる本体部68の一端にアーチ状のヘッド部69を設け、その内部に本体部68の中心軸線と直交する軸回りに回転する回転刃11を配置して、本体部68に収容したモーター70で回転刃11を回転駆動するようにした。符号72は2次電池、符号73はモーター70を起動し、あるいは停止するためのスイッチボタンである。ヘッド部69の周壁には切断窓71が切り欠き形成してあり、この窓71を介して回転刃11がヘッド部69の外面に露出させてある。角質を除去する場合には、回転駆動した状態の回転刃11を、かかとなどの角質部分に押し付けて角質を少しずつ削りとる。   FIG. 21 shows an embodiment in which the rotary blade 11 is applied to a keratin remover. The keratin remover is provided with an arch-shaped head portion 69 at one end of a main body portion 68 that also serves as a grip, and a rotary blade 11 that rotates about an axis orthogonal to the central axis of the main body portion 68 is disposed therein. The rotary blade 11 is driven to rotate by a motor 70 accommodated in 68. Reference numeral 72 is a secondary battery, and reference numeral 73 is a switch button for starting or stopping the motor 70. A cutting window 71 is notched in the peripheral wall of the head portion 69, and the rotary blade 11 is exposed to the outer surface of the head portion 69 through the window 71. When removing the stratum corneum, the rotary blade 11 in a rotationally driven state is pressed against a stratum corneum such as a heel, and the stratum corneum is scraped off little by little.

図22は回転刃11のさらに別の実施例を示す。そこでは、部分円弧状(周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧形状)の2個の刃本体20と、断面が半円状(周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧形状)の1個の刃本体20を、刃ホルダー21の刃受体34および切刃支持体35に固定して回転刃11とした。このように、周方向の長さが異なる複数の刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に固定する回転刃11によれば、回転時の重量バランスが不均一となり、振動を生じやすくなる。また、先の振動によりヘッド部2を縦方向に振動させることができるので、外刃10を肌面に対して直行する向きに振動させながらひげ切断を行なえる。その場合には、網刃からなる外刃10の刃穴に皮膚を垂れ込ませて、ひげを深剃りすることができる。   FIG. 22 shows still another embodiment of the rotary blade 11. There, two blade bodies 20 having a partial arc shape (a cross-sectional arc shape having the same curvature in the circumferential direction) and one blade body 20 having a semicircular cross-section (a cross-section arc shape having the same curvature in the circumferential direction) are provided. The rotary blade 11 was fixed to the blade receiver 34 and the cutting blade support 35 of the blade holder 21. Thus, according to the rotary blade 11 that fixes the plurality of blade bodies 20 having different lengths in the circumferential direction to the blade holder 21, the weight balance at the time of rotation becomes uneven and vibration is likely to occur. In addition, since the head portion 2 can be vibrated in the vertical direction by the previous vibration, the whisker can be cut while vibrating the outer blade 10 in a direction perpendicular to the skin surface. In that case, it is possible to deeply shave the beard by dripping the skin into the blade hole of the outer blade 10 made of a mesh blade.

刃ブランク43は、先に説明した過程を経て形成する必要はない。例えば、所定形状に切断されたステンレス板材42に塑性加工を施して、断面が部分円弧状(周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧形状)の刃ブランク43を形成する。次に刃ブランク43の表裏両面にそれぞれレジスト膜55・56を形成したのち露光し、露光部を除去して、非露光部のレジスト膜55・56に囲まれる板材表面をエッチング液で蝕刻して、リブ状の小刃24・25の一群と、刃穴26の一群とを形成する。以後の処理は既に説明したとおりである。   The blade blank 43 does not need to be formed through the process described above. For example, the stainless steel plate 42 cut into a predetermined shape is subjected to plastic working to form a blade blank 43 having a partially arcuate cross section (a cross-sectional arc shape having the same circumferential curvature). Next, after forming resist films 55 and 56 on both the front and back surfaces of the blade blank 43, exposure is performed, the exposed portions are removed, and the plate material surface surrounded by the resist films 55 and 56 in the non-exposed portions is etched with an etching solution. A group of rib-shaped blades 24 and 25 and a group of blade holes 26 are formed. The subsequent processing is as already described.

上記のように、予めステンレス板材42に塑性加工を施して部分円弧状の刃ブランク43を形成すると、均質な状態のステンレス板材42を曲げ加工することになるので、刃ブランク43をより正確に曲げることができる。また、部分円弧状に曲げられた刃ブランク43にエッチングを施して小刃24・25および刃穴26を形成するので、両小刃24・25の切断面44を円弧面に形成でき、したがって、最小限の研削加工を施すだけで内刃11の真円度を確保でき、さらに研削加工を施すことによって切刃48の角度が僅かに大きくなるのを防止できる。   As described above, when the stainless steel plate 42 is plastically formed in advance to form the partially arcuate blade blank 43, the stainless steel plate 42 in a homogeneous state is bent, so that the blade blank 43 is bent more accurately. be able to. In addition, since the blade blank 43 bent into a partial arc shape is etched to form the small blades 24 and 25 and the blade hole 26, the cut surfaces 44 of both the small blades 24 and 25 can be formed into an arc surface. The roundness of the inner blade 11 can be ensured only by performing a minimum grinding process, and the angle of the cutting edge 48 can be prevented from being slightly increased by performing the grinding process.

刃本体20は、電鋳法で形成したシート状の刃ブランク43に、プレス加工を施して形成することができる。詳しくは、図23(a)に示すように、母型75の上面にフォトレジスト膜を形成し、その表面にパターンフィルムを載置して露光し現像したのち、電鋳パターンに合致するフォトレジスト層76を形成し、1次電鋳層77を形成する。次に、図23(b)に示すように、電鋳液を矢印に示す向きに流しながら、1次電鋳層77の外面に2次電鋳層78を形成する。2次電鋳層78を剥離することにより、断面が不等脚台形状の小刃24を備えた刃ブランク43が得られる。詳しくは、電鋳液の流れ方向上手側の斜面79の傾斜角度が小さく、流れ方向下手側の斜面80の傾斜角度が大きな、不等脚台形状の小刃24を形成できる。   The blade body 20 can be formed by pressing a sheet-like blade blank 43 formed by an electroforming method. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 23 (a), a photoresist film is formed on the upper surface of a master block 75, a pattern film is placed on the surface, exposed and developed, and then a photoresist that matches the electroformed pattern. A layer 76 is formed, and a primary electroformed layer 77 is formed. Next, as shown in FIG. 23B, a secondary electroformed layer 78 is formed on the outer surface of the primary electroformed layer 77 while flowing the electroforming solution in the direction indicated by the arrow. By peeling off the secondary electroformed layer 78, the blade blank 43 provided with the small blades 24 having a trapezoidal cross section is obtained. Specifically, the unequal trapezoidal small blade 24 can be formed in which the slope 79 on the upper side in the flow direction of the electroforming liquid is small and the slope 80 on the lower side in the flow direction is large.

次に、2次電鋳層78を剥離することにより、図23(c)に示すように、切断面44の側に溝(カウンターシンク)50を備えた刃ブランク43が得られる。最後に、図23(d)に示すように、刃ブランク43にプレス加工を施して、全体を外突湾曲状に塑性変形させることにより、小刃24の外面に溝50を備えた刃本体20を形成できる。非切断面45の中心は切断面44の幅中心より寸法Tの分だけ斜面80の側へ偏っている。   Next, by peeling off the secondary electroformed layer 78, a blade blank 43 having a groove (counter sink) 50 on the cut surface 44 side is obtained as shown in FIG. Finally, as shown in FIG. 23 (d), the blade body 43 provided with grooves 50 on the outer surface of the small blade 24 by pressing the blade blank 43 and plastically deforming the entire blade into a curved shape. Can be formed. The center of the non-cut surface 45 is biased toward the inclined surface 80 by the dimension T from the width center of the cut surface 44.

図24は図23(c)の平面図であり、小刃24は長辺周枠27aと平行な直線刃からなり、溝50、および溝50どうしを繋ぐ固定部28の凹み(カウンターシンク)を点描で示している。この場合の両側端の小刃24は、刃本体20の長辺周枠27aを兼ねている。小刃24の切刃48および切断面44は、最終的に研削加工を施して仕上げられる。   FIG. 24 is a plan view of FIG. 23 (c). The blade 24 is composed of a straight blade parallel to the long-side peripheral frame 27a, and the groove 50 and the recess (counter sink) of the fixing portion 28 that connects the grooves 50 are shown. Shown in pointillism. The small blades 24 at both ends in this case also serve as the long side peripheral frame 27 a of the blade body 20. The cutting blade 48 and the cutting surface 44 of the small blade 24 are finally finished by grinding.

刃本体20は、図25(a)〜(d)に示すように、プレス加工で形成することができる。その場合には、金属シート82に打ち抜き加工を施して、図25(b)に示す1次ブランク83を形成する。1次ブランク83には、刃穴26と四角形断面状の小刃24の前段体84とが形成してある。次に、1次ブランク83に塑性加工を施して、図25(c)に示すように、前段体84を断面盃状に形成して、鋭角の切刃48と逃げ縁49を備えた小刃24を形成する。これにより複数の小刃24を備えた刃ブランク43が得られる。次に、図25(d)に示すように刃ブランク43にプレス加工を施して、全体が外突湾曲状(周方向の曲率が同じ断面円弧状)に塑性変形された刃本体20を形成する。非切断面45の幅中心は切断面44の幅中心より側辺部47の側へ偏っている。   The blade body 20 can be formed by pressing as shown in FIGS. In that case, the metal sheet 82 is punched to form a primary blank 83 shown in FIG. The primary blank 83 is formed with a blade hole 26 and a front body 84 of the small blade 24 having a square cross section. Next, the primary blank 83 is subjected to plastic working, and as shown in FIG. 25 (c), the front body 84 is formed in a cross-sectional shape and has a sharp edge 48 and a relief edge 49. 24 is formed. Thereby, the blade blank 43 provided with the some small blade 24 is obtained. Next, as shown in FIG. 25 (d), the blade blank 43 is pressed to form the blade body 20 that is plastically deformed into an outwardly curved shape (circular arc with the same circumferential curvature). . The width center of the non-cut surface 45 is biased toward the side portion 47 side from the width center of the cut surface 44.

図26は図26(c)の刃ブランク43の平面図であり、小刃24は長辺周枠27aと平行な直線刃で形成してある。固定部28はプレス加工で形成してあり、短辺周枠27bに沿って凹ませてある。この凹みを点描で示している。この場合の両側端の小刃24は、刃本体20の長辺周枠27aを兼ねている。小刃24の切刃48および切断面44は、最終的に研削加工を施して仕上げられる。   FIG. 26 is a plan view of the blade blank 43 of FIG. 26C, and the small blade 24 is formed by a straight blade parallel to the long side peripheral frame 27a. The fixed portion 28 is formed by press working and is recessed along the short side peripheral frame 27b. This dent is shown in pointillism. The small blades 24 at both ends in this case also serve as the long side peripheral frame 27 a of the blade body 20. The cutting blade 48 and the cutting surface 44 of the small blade 24 are finally finished by grinding.

図27は、刃本体20のさらに別の実施例を示す。そこでは、内刃11の回転中心軸線に対して斜めに傾斜する小刃24を設け、隣接する小刃24を補強リブ91で接続して小刃24の構造強度を確保した。補強リブ91は小刃24と直交する状態で、小刃24の長手方向に一定間隔おきに設けた。また、一対の短辺周枠27bのそれぞれに固定部28を凹み形成し、一対の長辺周枠27aの対向部の中央に切刃固定部31を台形状に凹み形成した。この刃本体20は、エッチング加工、電鋳加工、プレス加工のいずれの加工法であっても形成できる。   FIG. 27 shows still another embodiment of the blade body 20. There, a small blade 24 inclined obliquely with respect to the rotation center axis of the inner blade 11 was provided, and the adjacent small blades 24 were connected by a reinforcing rib 91 to ensure the structural strength of the small blade 24. The reinforcing ribs 91 are provided at regular intervals in the longitudinal direction of the blade 24 in a state orthogonal to the blade 24. Moreover, the fixing | fixed part 28 was recessedly formed in each of a pair of short side surrounding frame 27b, and the cutting blade fixing | fixed part 31 was recessedly formed in the center of the opposing part of a pair of long side surrounding frame 27a. The blade body 20 can be formed by any processing method such as etching, electroforming, and pressing.

小刃24・25および刃穴26は、さらに別の加工法によって形成することができる。上記と同様に、ステンレス板材42に精密プレス加工(塑性加工)を施して断面が部分円弧状の刃ブランク43を形成するが、曲げ加工する過程でリブ状の小刃24・25の一群と、刃穴26の一群とを同時に打ち抜き形成する。こののち、小刃24・25にエッジ加工を行なって切刃48を形成する。以後の処理は既に説明したとおりである。このように、塑性加工のみで刃ブランク43を形成すると、その加工コストを大幅に削減して内刃11の製造に要するコストを減少できる。   The small blades 24 and 25 and the blade hole 26 can be formed by yet another processing method. Similarly to the above, a precision blanking (plastic working) is performed on the stainless steel plate 42 to form a blade blank 43 having a partially arc-shaped cross section. In the bending process, a group of rib-shaped blades 24 and 25, A group of blade holes 26 are simultaneously punched and formed. After that, edge processing is performed on the small blades 24 and 25 to form the cutting blade 48. The subsequent processing is as already described. Thus, if the blade blank 43 is formed only by plastic processing, the processing cost can be significantly reduced and the cost required for manufacturing the inner blade 11 can be reduced.

本発明は以下の形態で実施することができる。
本発明に係る回転刃は、刃本体20と、刃本体20を支持する刃ホルダー21とを含む。刃本体20は、リブ状の小刃24・25の一群と、リブ状の小刃24・25で区画される刃穴26の一群とを備えている。刃本体20は、塑性加工を施して断面円弧状に形成する。断面円弧状の刃本体20を刃ホルダー21の周面に複数固定して、回転刃11を筒状に構成する。
The present invention can be implemented in the following forms.
The rotary blade according to the present invention includes a blade body 20 and a blade holder 21 that supports the blade body 20. The blade body 20 includes a group of rib-shaped small blades 24 and 25 and a group of blade holes 26 defined by the rib-shaped small blades 24 and 25. The blade body 20 is formed into a circular arc shape by plastic processing. A plurality of blade bodies 20 having an arcuate cross section are fixed to the peripheral surface of the blade holder 21, and the rotary blade 11 is configured in a cylindrical shape.

上記の回転刃によれば、スパイラル刃を切断要素とする回転刃と同様に、ひげや毛玉などを回転刃内へ効果的に導入して効率よく切断でき、したがって、能率よく髭剃りや毛玉除去などの切断処理を行なうことができる。また、複数の刃本体20を刃ホルダー21の周面に固定して回転刃とするので、塑性加工後の残留応力が少なく、真円度を確保して切れ味の低下を防止できる。   According to the above rotary blade, like a rotary blade using a spiral blade as a cutting element, it is possible to effectively introduce a whisker, a hair ball, etc. into the rotary blade and efficiently cut it. Cutting processing such as ball removal can be performed. In addition, since the plurality of blade bodies 20 are fixed to the peripheral surface of the blade holder 21 to form a rotary blade, there is little residual stress after plastic working, and roundness can be ensured and sharpness can be prevented from being lowered.

金属シート42にエッチング加工を施して、小刃24・25の一群と刃穴26の一群とを備えた刃ブランク43を形成する。刃ブランク43に塑性加工を施して、刃本体20を断面円弧状に形成する。   The metal sheet 42 is etched to form a blade blank 43 including a group of small blades 24 and 25 and a group of blade holes 26. The blade blank 43 is subjected to plastic working to form the blade body 20 in a circular arc shape.

上記のように、金属シート42にエッチング加工を施して、小刃24・25や刃穴26を備えた刃ブランク43を形成し、刃ブランク43に塑性加工を施して断面円弧状の刃本体20を形成すると、エッチング加工および塑性加工をより少ない手間で簡便に行なえる。平板状の金属シート42にエッチング加工を施し、さらに平板状の刃ブランク43に塑性加工を施せばよいからである。したがって、断面円弧状の刃本体20の加工に要するコストを削減して、回転刃の製造コストを減少できる。また、エッチング加工で鋭い切刃48を形成することができるので、シャープな切れ味を発揮できる回転刃とすることができる。   As described above, the metal sheet 42 is etched to form the blade blank 43 having the small blades 24 and 25 and the blade hole 26, and the blade blank 43 is plastically processed to form a blade body 20 having an arcuate cross section. By forming, etching processing and plastic processing can be easily performed with less effort. This is because the flat metal sheet 42 may be etched and the flat blade blank 43 may be plastically processed. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost required for processing the blade body 20 having a circular arc cross section and reduce the manufacturing cost of the rotary blade. Moreover, since the sharp cutting edge 48 can be formed by etching, it can be set as the rotary blade which can exhibit a sharp sharpness.

上記の内刃11とは逆に、金属シート42に塑性加工を施して、刃ブランク43を断面円弧状に形成する。得られた刃ブランク43にエッチング加工を施して、小刃24・25の一群と刃穴26の一群とを形成する。   Contrary to the inner blade 11 described above, the metal sheet 42 is subjected to plastic working to form the blade blank 43 in a circular arc shape. The obtained blade blank 43 is etched to form a group of small blades 24 and 25 and a group of blade holes 26.

このように、金属シート42に塑性加工を施して断面円弧状の刃ブランク43を形成し、これにエッチング加工を施して小刃24・25および刃穴26を形成すると、刃ブランク43の曲げ形状をより正確なものとすることができる。均質な状態の金属シート板材42を曲げ加工するからである。また、部分円弧状の刃ブランク43にエッチングを施して小刃24・25および刃穴26を形成するので、曲面部分に切刃48を形成でき、したがって最小限の研削加工を施すだけで回転刃11の真円度を確保でき、研削加工の手間を軽減できる。また、この場合にもエッチング加工で鋭い切刃48を形成することができるので、シャープな切れ味を発揮できる回転刃とすることができる。   As described above, when the metal sheet 42 is plastically processed to form the blade blank 43 having an arcuate cross section, and the etching is performed to form the small blades 24 and 25 and the blade hole 26, the bent shape of the blade blank 43 is obtained. Can be made more accurate. This is because the metal sheet plate material 42 in a homogeneous state is bent. Further, since the small blades 24 and 25 and the blade hole 26 are formed by etching the partial arc-shaped blade blank 43, the cutting blade 48 can be formed on the curved surface portion, and therefore the rotary blade can be formed by performing a minimum grinding process. 11 roundness can be ensured, and grinding work can be reduced. Also in this case, since the sharp cutting edge 48 can be formed by etching, a rotary blade capable of exhibiting a sharp sharpness can be obtained.

金属シート42に塑性加工を施して、刃ブランク43を断面円弧状に形成する。金属シート42に塑性加工を施す過程で、小刃24・25の一群と刃穴26の一群とを同時に打ち抜き形成する。   The metal sheet 42 is plastically processed to form the blade blank 43 in a cross-sectional arc shape. In the process of performing plastic working on the metal sheet 42, a group of small blades 24 and 25 and a group of blade holes 26 are simultaneously punched and formed.

金属シート42に塑性加工を施して刃ブランク43を形成する過程で、小刃24・25の一群と刃穴26の一群とを同時に打ち抜き形成すると、刃本体20をより少ない工数で加工できるので、刃本体20の加工コストを大幅に削減して回転刃の製造に要するコストを減少できる。   In the process of forming the blade blank 43 by performing plastic working on the metal sheet 42, if a group of small blades 24 and 25 and a group of blade holes 26 are simultaneously punched and formed, the blade body 20 can be processed with less man-hours. The processing cost of the blade body 20 can be greatly reduced, and the cost required for manufacturing the rotary blade can be reduced.

刃本体20は刃ホルダー21の周面に等間隔おきに固定する。このように、複数個の刃本体20を刃ホルダー21の周面に等間隔おきに固定して構成する内刃11によれば、複数個の同一構造の刃本体20で回転刃を構成できるので、1種類の刃本体20を用意するだけでよく、数種の刃本体を用意する場合に比べて、回転刃をより低コストで製造できる。また、同一構造の刃本体20を刃ホルダー21の周面に等間隔おきに固定するので、回転刃の重量バランスを均一化でき、したがって回転刃を常に安定した状態で回転駆動できる。個々の刃本体20における切れ味を均等化できる利点もある。   The blade body 20 is fixed to the peripheral surface of the blade holder 21 at regular intervals. Thus, according to the inner blade 11 configured by fixing a plurality of blade bodies 20 to the peripheral surface of the blade holder 21 at equal intervals, a plurality of blade bodies 20 having the same structure can constitute a rotary blade. Only one type of blade body 20 needs to be prepared, and the rotary blade can be manufactured at a lower cost than when several types of blade bodies are prepared. Further, since the blade body 20 having the same structure is fixed to the peripheral surface of the blade holder 21 at equal intervals, the weight balance of the rotary blade can be made uniform, and therefore the rotary blade can be driven to rotate in a stable state at all times. There is also an advantage that the sharpness in each blade body 20 can be equalized.

切断領域Rを間に挟む刃本体20の幅方向両側端に固定部28を設ける。固定部28は、刃ホルダー21の幅方向両側端に設けた刃受部34に、溶接加工ないしかしめ加工で分離不能に固定する。   Fixing portions 28 are provided at both ends in the width direction of the blade body 20 with the cutting region R interposed therebetween. The fixing portions 28 are fixed to the blade receiving portions 34 provided on both side ends in the width direction of the blade holder 21 so as not to be separated by a welding process or a squeezing process.

上記のように、切断領域Rの外の刃本体20の両側端に固定部28を設け、これを刃ホルダー21の両側端の刃受部34に溶接加工ないしかしめ加工で分離不能に固定すると、切断領域Rに悪影響を及ぼすこともなく、刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に固定できる。例えば、固定部28を溶接する場合には、溶接に伴なう熱ひずみが切断領域Rに及ぶのを防止できる。また、固定部28をかしめる場合には、かしめに伴なう変形ひずみが切断領域Rに及ぶのを防止できる。したがって、常に適正に切断作用を発揮できる回転刃11が得られる。   As described above, when the fixing portions 28 are provided on both side ends of the blade body 20 outside the cutting region R, and are fixed to the blade receiving portions 34 on both side ends of the blade holder 21 so as not to be separated by welding, but not separable. The blade body 20 can be fixed to the blade holder 21 without adversely affecting the cutting region R. For example, when the fixing portion 28 is welded, the thermal strain accompanying the welding can be prevented from reaching the cutting region R. Further, when the fixing portion 28 is caulked, it is possible to prevent the deformation strain accompanying caulking from reaching the cutting region R. Therefore, it is possible to obtain the rotary blade 11 that can always exert a proper cutting action.

刃本体20の切断領域Rの幅方向の少なくとも1個所に、切刃固定部31を設ける。切刃固定部31は、刃ホルダー21に設けた切刃支持部35に固定する。切刃固定部31における固定個所の数を、固定部28における固定個所数より少なく設定する。   A cutting blade fixing portion 31 is provided in at least one position in the width direction of the cutting region R of the blade body 20. The cutting blade fixing portion 31 is fixed to a cutting blade support portion 35 provided in the blade holder 21. The number of fixed locations in the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is set to be smaller than the number of fixed locations in the fixed portion 28.

このように、切断領域Rの少なくとも1個所に切刃固定部31を設け、これを刃ホルダー21の切刃支持部35に固定すると、刃本体20の切断領域Rが刃ホルダー21から浮き離れるのを確実に防止して、回転刃による切断作用を常に安定した状態で発揮できる。また、切刃固定部31における固定個所の数を、固定部28における固定個所数より少なく設定すると、切断領域Rが切刃支持部35から浮き離れるのを確実に防止しながら、刃本体20の左右両端を刃ホルダー21に強固に固定できる。   As described above, when the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is provided in at least one portion of the cutting region R and this is fixed to the cutting blade support portion 35 of the blade holder 21, the cutting region R of the blade body 20 floats away from the blade holder 21. Can be reliably prevented, and the cutting action by the rotary blade can always be exhibited in a stable state. Further, when the number of fixing points in the cutting blade fixing part 31 is set to be smaller than the number of fixing parts in the fixing part 28, the cutting region R is prevented from being lifted off from the cutting blade support part 35, and the blade body 20 is The left and right ends can be firmly fixed to the blade holder 21.

刃本体20は金属シート54にエッチングを施して形成する。刃本体20の固定部28および切刃固定部31のそれぞれを、ハーフエッチング加工によって、刃本体20の外周面より凹む凹部で形成する。   The blade body 20 is formed by etching the metal sheet 54. Each of the fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 of the blade body 20 is formed by a recess that is recessed from the outer peripheral surface of the blade body 20 by half-etching.

上記のように、固定部28および切刃固定部31のそれぞれを、ハーフエッチング加工によって刃本体20の外周面より凹む凹部で形成すると、スポット跡や溶着跡が刃本体20の外周面より外へ突出するのを防ぎながら、固定部28および切刃固定部31を固定できる。したがって、刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に固定したのちに、スポット跡や溶着跡を除去する手間を省きことができる。また、他より薄い固定部28および切刃固定部31を溶接することにより、より確実にしかも短時間でスポット溶接を行なうことができるので、切刃固定部31を溶接する場合の熱ひずみが切断領域Rに及ぶのをよく防止できる。   As described above, when each of the fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is formed by a recess that is recessed from the outer peripheral surface of the blade body 20 by half-etching processing, the spot mark and the welding mark are out of the outer peripheral surface of the blade body 20. The fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 can be fixed while preventing the protrusion. Therefore, after fixing the blade body 20 to the blade holder 21, it is possible to save the trouble of removing spot marks and welding marks. Further, by welding the fixed portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 thinner than others, spot welding can be performed more reliably and in a short time, so that the thermal strain when welding the cutting blade fixing portion 31 is cut. It can be well prevented from reaching the region R.

刃ホルダー21の刃受部34に位置決め突起38を設ける。刃本体20の固定部28に設けた位置決め穴30を、前記位置決め突起38に係合した状態で、固定部28および切刃固定部31を、刃受部34および切刃支持部35にスポット溶接する。   A positioning projection 38 is provided on the blade receiving portion 34 of the blade holder 21. With the positioning hole 30 provided in the fixing portion 28 of the blade body 20 engaged with the positioning protrusion 38, the fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 are spot welded to the blade receiving portion 34 and the cutting blade support portion 35. To do.

上記のように、固定部28に設けた位置決め穴30を、刃受部34に設けた位置決め突起38に係合すると、刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に正確に位置決めできる。また、位置決めした状態で固定部28および切刃固定部31をスポット溶接し、あるいは熱溶着することにより、別途位置決め治具を使用する必要もなく、刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に対して精度よく組み付けることができるので、溶接や溶着に要する手間を軽減できる。なお、位置決め突起38は、回転刃11を研削する過程で除去される。   As described above, when the positioning hole 30 provided in the fixing portion 28 is engaged with the positioning protrusion 38 provided in the blade receiving portion 34, the blade body 20 can be accurately positioned on the blade holder 21. In addition, the fixed portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 are spot-welded or thermally welded in a positioned state, so that it is not necessary to use a separate positioning jig, and the blade body 20 can be accurately attached to the blade holder 21. Since it can be assembled, the labor required for welding and welding can be reduced. The positioning protrusion 38 is removed in the process of grinding the rotary blade 11.

刃本体20を構成する周枠27の前後端から固定爪29を前後に突設する。刃受部34の周囲複数個所に、その周面で開口する爪受部36を等間隔おきに切り欠き形成する。固定爪29を爪受部36に係合して、刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に固定する。   A fixed claw 29 is projected forward and backward from the front and rear ends of the peripheral frame 27 constituting the blade body 20. At a plurality of locations around the blade receiving portion 34, claw receiving portions 36 that open on the peripheral surface thereof are cut out at equal intervals. The blade body 20 is fixed to the blade holder 21 by engaging the fixed claw 29 with the claw receiving portion 36.

上記のように、周枠27の前後端に設けた固定爪29を、爪受部36に形成した爪受部36に係合して刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に固定すると、刃本体20の隅部が刃ホルダー21から浮き離れるのを確実に防止できる。また、固定爪29を爪受部36に係合した状態で、固定部28や切刃固定部31を溶接ないし溶着すると、溶接時や溶着時に刃本体20が周方向へ動くのをさらに確実に規制して、刃本体20の刃ホルダー21に対する組み付け精度をさらに向上できる。固定構造は刃本体20の内面側に位置するので、固定構造が回転刃の切断作用の邪魔になることもない。   As described above, when the fixed claws 29 provided at the front and rear ends of the peripheral frame 27 are engaged with the claw receiving portions 36 formed on the claw receiving portions 36 to fix the blade body 20 to the blade holder 21, It is possible to reliably prevent the corner from being lifted off from the blade holder 21. Further, when the fixing portion 28 and the cutting blade fixing portion 31 are welded or welded in a state where the fixing claw 29 is engaged with the claw receiving portion 36, the blade body 20 is more reliably moved in the circumferential direction during welding or welding. By restricting, the assembly accuracy of the blade body 20 with respect to the blade holder 21 can be further improved. Since the fixing structure is located on the inner surface side of the blade body 20, the fixing structure does not interfere with the cutting action of the rotary blade.

刃本体20を構成する周枠27は、長辺部を構成する一対の長辺周枠27aと、短辺部を構成する一対の短辺周枠27bとで構成する。長辺周枠27aを内刃11の回転中心軸線に対して傾斜させて、刃本体20を平行四辺形状に形成する。   The peripheral frame 27 constituting the blade body 20 is composed of a pair of long side peripheral frames 27a constituting the long side part and a pair of short side peripheral frames 27b constituting the short side part. The long side peripheral frame 27a is inclined with respect to the rotation center axis of the inner blade 11, and the blade body 20 is formed in a parallelogram shape.

上記のように、本体20の周枠27の長辺周枠27aを内刃11の回転中心軸線に対して傾斜させて、刃本体20を平行四辺形状に形成すると、ひげ切断時の切断抵抗を長辺周枠27aの長手方向に分散する状態で刃本体20に作用させることができる。詳しくは、切断時の切断抵抗を、刃本体20の長辺周枠27aの一端側から他端側へと徐々に作用させることができ、したがって、高負荷切断時にも、リブ状の小刃24・25に作用する切断抵抗を軽減できる。また、長辺周枠27aを利用して切刃48を形成する場合には、傾斜する切刃48で切断対象を引き切りできる。   As described above, when the long side peripheral frame 27a of the peripheral frame 27 of the main body 20 is inclined with respect to the rotation center axis of the inner blade 11 and the blade main body 20 is formed in a parallelogram shape, the cutting resistance at the time of cutting the beard is reduced. It can be made to act on the blade body 20 in a state of being dispersed in the longitudinal direction of the long side peripheral frame 27a. Specifically, the cutting resistance at the time of cutting can be gradually applied from one end side to the other end side of the long side peripheral frame 27a of the blade body 20, and therefore, the rib-shaped blade 24 can be cut even during high load cutting. -The cutting resistance acting on 25 can be reduced. Further, when the cutting edge 48 is formed using the long side peripheral frame 27a, the cutting object can be cut with the inclined cutting edge 48.

刃本体20の小刃24・25の切断面44と非切断面45の少なくともいずれか一方に、小刃24・25の長手方向に沿う溝50を形成する。   A groove 50 along the longitudinal direction of the blades 24 and 25 is formed on at least one of the cut surface 44 and the non-cut surface 45 of the blades 24 and 25 of the blade body 20.

上記のように、刃本体20の小刃24・25の切断面44と非切断面45の少なくともいずれか一方に、小刃24・25の長手方向に沿う溝50を形成すると、例えば内刃ブランク42に塑性加工を施して断面円弧状に曲げる際に、刃ブランク43を容易にしかも内部歪の発生を抑止しながら加工できる。また、小刃24・25の長手方向に沿ってに溝50を形成して曲げ抵抗を小さくするので、塑性加工時に幅狭の小刃24・25がねじれ変形するのをよく防止できる。   As described above, when the groove 50 along the longitudinal direction of the small blades 24 and 25 is formed in at least one of the cut surface 44 and the non-cut surface 45 of the small blades 24 and 25 of the blade body 20, for example, an inner blade blank The blade blank 43 can be easily processed while suppressing the occurrence of internal strain when the plastic plate 42 is plastically bent and bent into a circular arc shape. Further, since the groove 50 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the blades 24 and 25 to reduce the bending resistance, it is possible to well prevent the narrow blades 24 and 25 from being twisted and deformed during plastic working.

刃本体20の小刃24・25の切断面45に、溝50を形成する。このように、刃本体20の小刃24・25の切断面45に溝50を形成すると、切断面44の外刃10に対する接触摩擦を軽減でき、その分だけ回転刃を駆動するときの動力ロスを減少できる。   A groove 50 is formed in the cutting surface 45 of the small blades 24 and 25 of the blade body 20. Thus, if the groove | channel 50 is formed in the cutting surface 45 of the small blades 24 and 25 of the blade main body 20, the contact friction with respect to the outer blade 10 of the cutting surface 44 can be reduced, and the power loss when driving a rotary blade by that much. Can be reduced.

本発明に係る回転刃を有する小型電気機器によれば、回転刃をモーター動力で回転駆動することにより、ひげや毛玉などの切断対象を回転刃内へ効果的に導入して効率よく切断でき、したがって、髭剃りや毛玉除去などの切断処理を能率よく行なうことができる。   According to the small electric device having the rotary blade according to the present invention, the rotary blade is driven by motor power to effectively introduce a cutting target such as a beard or a hairball into the rotary blade and efficiently cut it. Therefore, cutting processes such as shaving and hairball removal can be performed efficiently.

上記の実施例以外に、内刃11は断面C字状の1個の刃本体20を備える形態や、周方向長さが大小に異なる2種以上の刃本体20を備える形態で構成することができる。小刃24・25は直線リブ状に形成する必要はなく、蛇行状あるいは稲妻状に折れ曲がるリブで形成することができる。なお、回転刃は2個または3個の刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に配置して構成する以外に、4個、5個、あるいはさらに多数個の刃本体20を刃ホルダー21に配置して構成することができる。   In addition to the above embodiments, the inner blade 11 may be configured in a form including one blade body 20 having a C-shaped cross section or in a form including two or more types of blade bodies 20 having different circumferential lengths. it can. The small blades 24 and 25 do not have to be formed in a straight rib shape, but can be formed by a rib that bends in a meandering shape or a lightning bolt shape. The rotary blade is configured by arranging four, five, or even more blade bodies 20 in the blade holder 21 in addition to arranging two or three blade bodies 20 in the blade holder 21. can do.
