A blade set and a manufacturing method thereof are disclosed in Chinese patent with application No. <patcit id="pcit0001" dnum="CN201811137663"><text>201811137663.2</text></patcit> (corresponding to publication No. <patcit id="pcit0002" dnum="CN109623884B"><text>CN109623884B</text></patcit>), the blade set for a hair cutter is arranged to move through hair in a movement direction to cut the hair, the blade set includes a stationary blade, the stationary blade includes a support insert and a metal member, the metal member and the support insert are press-fitted to each other, and the metal member is at least partially deformed to define at least one toothed leading edge having double-walled stationary blade teeth. The metal member forms a first wall and a second wall, the first wall is arranged to act as a skin facing wall in operation, the second wall is facing away from the first wall, and a guide groove for the movable blade is defined between the inward facing inner surface of the metal member and the support insert. The movable blade includes multiple movable blade teeth, the movable blade is movably arranged in the guide groove between the metal component and the support insert, and in the installed state, the movable blade is preloaded and movably arranged in the guide groove between the metal member and the support insert. However, the stationary blade in this patent is a semi-enclosed structure, which is connected to the movable blade and other connecting components through a connecting structure. When any component of the blade set needs to be replaced, the entire blade set needs to be disassembled and reassembled after replacing the component, this is difficult for ordinary users to operation, and even the components may be damaged due to operational errors. In addition, the movable blade and connecting components in the blade set are exposed, which makes the appearance of the hair cutter not aesthetically pleasing.</p>

The terms "installation", "an end", "another end", and similar expressions used in the disclosure are for illustrative purposes only.</p>
<p id="p0022" num="0022">Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in the disclosure have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those skilled in this art. The terms used in the specification of the disclosure are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the disclosure. The term "and/or" used in the disclosure includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.</p>
<p id="p0023" num="0023">An embodiment specifically provides an implementation method of a blade assembly for a hair cutter, as shown in <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1</figref>, the blade assembly includes a fixed blade 1, movable blades 2, and a connecting component. The connecting component is connected to the movable blades 2 and is configured to drive the movable blades 2 to move relative to the fixed blade 1. Two opposite sides of the fixed blade 1 are bent towards a back of the fixed blade 1 to form two bending parts 104, ends of the two bending parts 104 are connected to make the two bending parts 104 fixedly connected to each other, thereby forming a semi-enclosed bottom surface 112. An interior of the fixed blade 1 defines a receiving chamber 101, and the movable blades 2 and the connecting component are both disposed in the receiving chamber 101, the movable blades<!-- EPO <DP n="7"> --> 2 are opposite to and in coordination with a top surface of the fixed blade 1, and the connecting component is opposite to the bottom surface 112 of the fixed blade 1.</p>
<p id="p0024" num="0024">In a specific embodiment, as shown in <figref idref="f0002">FIGS. 2-3</figref>, the fixed blade 1 includes a contact part, the contact part includes a first surface coming into contact with the skin and a second surface facing away from the first surface, and the second surface is disposed in the receiving chamber 101. A first contact slope 102 and a second contact slope 103 are both disposed on the first surface of the contact part. The movable blades 2 are tightly attached to the second surface of the contact part, and a part of the movable blades 2 overlaps with the fixed blade 1 to ensure that the movable blades 2 can cut hair in conjunction with the fixed blade 1 during a back and forth movement of the movable blades 2. Two opposite ends of the contact part are bent in a same direction to form the two bending parts 104, and the two opposite ends of the two bending parts 104 are connected to form the semi-enclosed bottom surface 112 through a connection of the two opposite ends of the two bending parts 104. The semi-enclosed receiving chamber 101 is defined through the contact part and the two bending parts 104. Bent positions of the top surface of the fixed blade 1 respectively form cutting parts, that is, the cutting parts are formed between the contact part and corners of the two bending parts 104. The cutting parts include multiple fixed teeth 105, and edges of the multiple fixed teeth 105 are disposed on the contact part and other edges of the multiple fixed teeth 105 are disposed on the bending parts 104. Corners of the two edges are in arc-shape transition, so as to avoid damaging the user's skin due to the sharpness of the corners. A through groove is defined between adjacent two of the multiple fixed teeth 105, the through groove extends from the top surface of the fixed blade 1 to the first bending surface 1041, and multiple cutting teeth 202 are formed on each of the movable blades 2, which are cut in conjunction with the fixed teeth 105. In additions, recessed parts 106 facing towards an inner concave of the receiving chamber 101 are disposed on the two edges of the two bending part 104 to make a thickness of the fixed teeth 105 thinner, which can cut and clean shorter hair for a cleaner cleaning. Moreover, the semi-enclosed bottom surface 112 refers to a partially enclosed and partially unclosed part, which means that the receiving chamber 101 is in a semi-enclosed state.</p>
<p id="p0025" num="0025">In the embodiment, as shown in <figref idref="f0001">FIG. 1</figref>, each movable blade 2 includes a connecting member 201 configured to connect to a movable blade bracket 5, and multiple cutting teeth 202 are disposed on the connecting member 201 along a length direction of the connecting member 201. Due to two rows of the multiple fixed teeth 105 on the fixed blade 1, a number of the movable blades 2 is two, both of which are tightly attached to the fixed blade 1, and some<!-- EPO <DP n="8"> --> surfaces of the multiple cutting teeth 202 on the two movable blade 2 overlap with the fixed teeth 105 on the fixed blade 1.</p>
<p id="p0026" num="0026">In the embodiment, as shown in <figref idref="f0002 f0003">FIGS. 2-4</figref>, a first contact slope 102 and a second contact slope 103 are formed on the top surface of the fixed blade 1, the first contact slope 102 and the second contact slope 103 are inclined relative to the bottom surface 112 of the fixed blade 1, and the first contact slope 102 and the second contact slope 103 are disposed at an angle, an angle range of extension lines of the first contact slope 102 and the second contact slope 103 is 170° ≤ α ≤ 180°.

The first contact slope 102 is connected to the second contact slope 103 through a transition surface 108. During use of the hair cutter, the first contact slope 102 and the second contact slope 103 are alternately touched with the human skin according to the needs by swinging the blade assembly under human control.</p>
<p id="p0027" num="0027">In the embodiment, as shown in <figref idref="f0002">FIGS. 2-3</figref>, each of the two bending parts 104 includes a first bending surface 1041 and a second bending surface 1042, and the first bending surface 1041 and the second bending surface 1042 are connected with each other, ends of the second bending surfaces 1042 are welded together to form the bottom surface 112. The first bending surface 1041 is inclined relative to the second bending surface 1042, and an angle between the first bending surface 1041 and the second bending surface 1042 is an obtuse angle. It should be noted that a fillet transition can be used between the first bending surface 1041 and the second bending surface 1042.
