Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils, and in particular to an adjustable bread knife. Background Technology

[0002] While there are many types of bread slicing tools available, some technical defects or shortcomings still exist. Traditional bread knives, despite their sharpness, lack effective thickness adjustment mechanisms, requiring users to manually control slice thickness. This makes it difficult to ensure uniform slices, especially when cutting larger or softer breads, where inconsistent thickness is more likely to occur. This not only affects the aesthetics of the slices but can also cause inconvenience in subsequent processing.

[0003] While some fixed bread slicing racks solve the problem of thickness uniformity through mold design, their fixed structure and non-adjustable thickness make them unsuitable for various thickness requirements. Furthermore, these devices are typically bulky, making cleaning and storage inconvenient, thus limiting their widespread use in home settings.

[0004] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model provides a bread knife that allows for flexible adjustment of slicing thickness without the need to change tools, making it suitable for different types of bread and thickness requirements. Furthermore, the design is simple in structure, easy to operate, and uses easy-to-clean materials, significantly improving the accuracy and practicality of slicing operations. This solves the problems of difficulty in controlling bread thickness, limited functionality, and inconvenience in existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0043] Reference Figures 1-7The utility model discloses a kind of adjustable bread knives 100, including knife rest 1000, and blade 2000 installed on knife rest 1000, knife rest 1000 is further provided with movable baffle 3000, baffle 3000 selectively far away from blade 2000 or close to blade 2000, to form an adjustable interval 1001, interval 1001 is configured to be used to limit bread thickness;It further includes locking assembly 4000, locking assembly 4000 selectively locks or releases baffle 3000, when locking assembly 4000 releases baffle 3000, baffle 3000 selectively far away from blade 2000 or close to blade 2000, when baffle 3000 moves to required position, locking assembly 4000 locks baffle 3000.By adjustable interval 1001 formed between movable baffle 3000 and blade 2000, the thickness of bread can be adjusted according to demand, to meet the preference of different users to bread thickness.In addition, when locking assembly 4000 releases baffle 3000, baffle 3000 can be adjusted to the direction matched with left hand use or right hand use of user, and baffle 3000 is locked by locking assembly 4000, to adapt to the habit of left hand use or right hand use of different users.

[0044] In the embodiment, adjusting area allowing baffle 3000 to move is provided on knife rest 1000, baffle 3000 can move in adjusting area, and the size of interval 1001 is adjusted.When baffle 3000 moves far away from blade 2000, interval 1001 increases, when baffle 3000 moves close to blade 2000, interval 1001 reduces.

[0045] As preferred in the embodiment, adjusting area is sliding groove 1002, and sliding groove 1002 is opened on knife rest 1000 and located at one side of blade 2000.User only needs to move baffle 3000 through sliding groove 1002, to quickly adjust the size of interval 1001, improve the use convenience of product.

[0046] In the embodiment, baffle 3000 has sliding block 3001 extending into sliding groove 1002, and sliding block 3001 is slidably connected with sliding groove 1002.

[0047] As preferred in the embodiment, baffle 3000 has sliding block 3001 at both ends, and the sliding block 3001 at both ends respectively extends into sliding groove 1002 and is slidably connected with sliding groove 1002.Sliding block 3001 is arranged at both ends of baffle 3000, so that the movement of baffle 3000 in sliding groove 1002 is more stable, avoids shaking or tilting caused by uneven unilateral stress, and improves the stability of overall structure.

[0048] As a preferred embodiment of the present application, the width of the sliding block 3001 is smaller than the width of the baffle 3000. The sliding block 3001 has a smaller width, so that the baffle 3000 is more flexible when moving in the sliding groove, and the size of the gap 1001 can be adjusted more accurately to meet the cutting requirements of different thicknesses.

[0049] In the present embodiment, the tool holder 1000 is also provided with a through slot 1003, and the through slot 1003 has at least two opposite notches 1004, one of which penetrates through the sliding groove 1002 and communicates with the sliding groove 1002.

[0054] In the embodiment, the locking rod 4001 and the threaded hole 3002 have a locking state and an unlocking state. When the locking rod 4001 and the threaded hole 3002 are in the locking state, the clamping block 4002 abuts against the two side notches 1004 of the through slot 1003, and the sliding block 3001 abuts against the inner wall surface of the sliding groove 1002, so that the baffle 3000 is locked. When the locking rod 4001 and the threaded hole 3002 are in the unlocking state, the clamping block 4002 is away from the two side notches 1004 of the through slot 1003, and the sliding block 3001 is away from the inner wall surface of the sliding groove 1002, so that the baffle 3000 is released.

[0055] In the embodiment, the other end notch 1004 of the through slot 1003 penetrates to the surface of the knife holder 1000, and the surface of the knife holder 1000 is provided with a scale 1005. The scale 1005 is located on one side of the notch 1004 and is arranged from top to bottom along the notch 1004. The user can accurately adjust the position of the baffle 3000 according to the scale 1005, so as to accurately control the size of the interval 1001. As a preferred embodiment, the measurement range of the scale 1005 is 0-3 inches, and the measurement accuracy of the scale 1005 is 1 / 16 inch.

[0056] In the embodiment, the top edge of the blade 2000 is a flat top edge, the blade edge of the blade 2000 is located at the bottom edge of the blade 2000, and the blade edge is wavy. The wavy blade edge can provide additional sawtooth effect during cutting, so that the cutting speed is faster, and especially when facing a harder bread crust, the cutting efficiency can be significantly improved. As a preferred embodiment, the blade 2000 is a stainless steel blade. The stainless steel blade has good oxidation resistance and rust prevention ability, and is not easy to rust even after long contact with air and moisture. The stainless steel blade is more durable and can maintain sharpness under high intensity use, reduce wear and tear, and is easy to clean.

[0057] In the embodiment, the knife holder 1000 is arc-shaped, and the knife holder 1000 is further provided with a handle 1006. The handle 1006 is provided with a hanging part 1007 for hanging the bread knife 100 outside.
