The invention belongs to the technical field of stationery commodities, and relates to a pencil-
sharpening machine with an adjustable taper. A hand-cranking
handle is cranked to drive an oscillating bar to oscillate; a translation sliding chute on the oscillating bar drives a translation
assembly through a translation sliding pin to carry out translation in a reciprocating way along a linear guideway so as to drive five blades on a knife rest to sequentially sharpen a fixed pencil; and when the translation
assembly moves toward an opposite direction until a journey is about to finish, a pawl tip is inserted into a tooth socket of a
ratchet wheel and drives the
ratchet wheel to anticlockwise rotate at a certain angel, and the hand-cranking
handle is continuously cranked to alternatively sharpen and rotate the pencil. The pencil-
sharpening machine with the adjustable taper provided by the invention is used for semi-automatically finishing pencil
sharpening, the sharpening taper of the pencil can be conveniently adjusted, the sharpening surface size is uniform, the appearance is attractive, the pencil-sharpening
machine is convenient to install and adjust, low in use cost, high in treatment efficiency, safe, clean and sanitary, nearsightedness is effectively avoided, and a lot of time of students is saved.
