In addition, the inverted trapezoid and the pentagon in the disclosure do not refer to a very regular inverted trapezoid and a very regular pentagon, but refer to a roughly inverted trapezoid and a pentagon. Specifically, each of the two bending part 104 is bent once to form the first bending surface 1041, and then horizontally bent again to form the second bending surface 1042, and the ends of the two second bending surfaces 1042 are connected together through a process of a welding technology. In addition, the process of the welding the ends of the two second bending surfaces 1042 are shown in FIGS. 5-1 to 5-6.

As shown in FIG. 5-5, the ends of the two bending parts 104 are connected and arranged in a staggered manner, and a lower end of one bending part is welded to a bottom surface of an upper end of the other bending part. As shown in FIG. 5-6, the end of one bending part 104 is bent again to form a stepped-shape structure, and the end of the other bending part 104 is placed and welded on the stepped-shape structure. The embodiment shown in FIG. 5-1 is the preferred embodiment of the disclosure.

[0028] In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the connecting component includes the sliding block 3, a bottom surface of the sliding block 3 is formed with guide grooves 301 and a connecting part 304, and the connecting part 304 is configured to connect to a driving mechanism. The guide rails 107 are slidably fitted to the guide grooves 301, and the sliding block 3 is configured to drive the two movable blades 2 to move back and forth relative to the top surface and bottom surface 112 of the fixed blade 1 under an external force. The bottom surface 112 of the fixed blade 1 defines a connecting through hole 113, and the connecting part 304 is opposite to the connecting through hole 113. Specifically, the connecting part 304 can be a sliding guide hole with a length greater than a width of a protrusion 302, then two ends of the long side of the sliding guide hole protrude to an outside of the protrusion 302, and a threading groove 305 is defined on the protrusion 302, which is connected to the sliding guide hole. When the protrusion 302 of the sliding block 3 extends between the two movable blade brackets 5, the threading groove 305 on the protrusion 302 and avoidance grooves 503 on the two movable blade brackets 5 intersect horizontally, Thus, an eccentric shaft 601 on a rotating shaft 6 can smoothly rotate to drive the sliding block 3, the two movable blade brackets 5, and the movable blade 2 to move back and forth. In addition, the guide grooves 301 are divided into two sections and disposed on two sides of the connecting part 304.

[0029] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, the connecting component includes the sliding block 3, the sliding block 3 is disposed between the two movable blade brackets 5 and the bottom surface 112 of the fixed blade 1; the sliding block 3 is provided with the protrusion 302, the protrusion 302 extends between the movable blade brackets 5 to drive the two movable blade brackets 5 and the movable blades 2 on the two movable blade brackets 5 to move. A bottom surface of the sliding block 3 is formed with the connecting part 304, and the connecting part 304 is configured to connect to a driving mechanism. Specifically, there is a gap between the two movable blade brackets 5, which can be inserted by the protrusion 302 on the sliding block 3.

When the protrusion 302 of the sliding block 3 extends between the two movable blade brackets 5, the convex column 502 is embedded in the through slot 303 on the corresponding side of the protrusion 302. By matching the through groove 303 on the side wall of the protrusion 302 on sliding block 3 with the convex column 502 on the movable blade bracket 5, the sliding block 3 drives the two movable blade brackets 5 and movable blades 2 on the two movable blade brackets 5 to move back and forth. In the embodiment, two convex columns 502 are disposed on each of the two movable blade brackets 5, and correspondingly, two through slots 303 are respectively disposed on both sides of the protrusion 302 of the sliding block 3.

Through the flexible connection between the two movable blade brackets 5, it is beneficial for the movable blades 2 on the two movable blade brackets 5 to float independently, reducing a mutual influence of the two movable blades 2 during the moving process. The flexible connection between the two movable blade brackets 5 can be achieved through flexible connecting pieces 501, each flexible connecting piece 501 can be a wavy flexible metal sheet or a plastic sheet. Certainly, the two movable blade brackets 5 can also be connected through other flexible connection methods, such as a spring connection.
