If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.
[0032] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.
[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an orange opener is provided with a base 1, an orange-cutting knife seat 2 and a protective cover 3 from bottom to top.
[0034] Reference Figure 4The base 1 includes a shell 11, on which a positioning platform 12 is provided. The shell 11 can be connected and installed with the positioning platform 12 by threads. The middle of the positioning platform 12 is an arc-shaped positioning groove 121. The positioning platform 12 and the arc-shaped positioning groove 121 can be integrally formed or separately made. A top column 4 is connected in the middle of the arc-shaped positioning groove 121. A button 44 is installed at the tail of the top column 4. A reset element 41 is installed on the top column 4. The reset element 41 can be a reset spring or a spring. In this embodiment, it is a reset spring. In order to protect the reset spring and ensure that the product is more beautiful, the reset spring is covered with a rubber sleeve 45. The rubber sleeve 45 can be made of silica gel, so as to ensure the service life of the product. The two ends of the reset element 41 are pressed against the button 44 and the bottom of the arc-shaped positioning groove 121 respectively.
[0035] In order to better push out the orange core, a convex head 42 is provided on the top of the top column 4, and the outer diameter of the convex head 42 is smaller than the inner diameter of the inner ring 52 of the cutting blade holder 5. In addition, a sealing ring 43 is connected to the outside of the top column 4 to prevent juice from dripping during the opening process of the orange, thereby preventing juice from dripping on the table and avoiding cleaning work after cutting the orange. The convex head 42 can also better seal the penetration hole from above.
[0036] Reference Figure 4 The orange-cutting knife holder 2 includes a fixed seat 21, on which a cutting knife holder 5 is installed, and the cutting knife holder 5 includes an outer ring 51 and an inner ring 52, and a plurality of cutting knives 53 are distributed between the outer ring 51 and the inner ring 52; in this embodiment, there are 6 cutting knives 53, which are evenly distributed between the outer ring 51 and the inner ring 52. Of course, according to actual needs, the cutting knives 53 can also be designed to be other numbers as needed. Secondly, in order to ensure a firm installation, the cutting knife holder 5 is extended with a mounting frame, and the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 21 by screws.
[0037] Reference Figure 4 The protective cover 3 includes a shell 31, and a top cover 32 is movably mounted on the top of the shell 31. The top cover 32 is press-fitted on the shell 31 by interference fit. In order to make the protective cover 3 and the orange-cutting knife holder 2 connected as one when in use, the shell 31 is connected and installed with the fixing seat 21 through a thread. In order to facilitate the observation of the orange-cutting effect, the protective cover 3 can be made of a transparent material.
[0038] Reference Figure 3When the orange opener is in use, the protective cover 3 and the orange-cutting knife seat 2 are installed as a whole, the orange-cutting knife seat 2 is separated from the base 1, and the base 1 can be placed on the desktop, and an orange is selected and placed on the arc-shaped positioning groove 121 of the base 1. Since the arc-shaped positioning groove 121 fits the shape of the orange, it is convenient to place and position the orange; then, the protective cover 3 is held and pressed vertically in the direction of the orange, and the cutting knife holder 5 on the orange-cutting knife seat 2 cuts the orange. When the orange-cutting knife seat 2 and the base 1 contact each other, the orange-cutting knife seat 2 has cut most of the orange. At this time, the orange opener is vertically picked up, and the button 44 is pressed with a finger to push the orange upward through the top column 4, so that the cutting knife holder 5 performs the final cutting on the orange. At the same time, the top column 4 squeezes the orange core into the protective cover 3. The top column 4 is driven by the reset element 41 to return to its original position. Finally, just flip the orange opener, open the top cover 32, and the cut orange slices will be placed on the top cover 32 for easy eating.
[0039] Reference Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the orange opener of the second embodiment is provided with a base 1, an orange cutting knife seat 2 and a protective cover 3 from bottom to top;
[0040] The base 1 comprises a housing 11, on which a positioning platform 12 is arranged, on which a positioning pin 6 is directly mounted, and the orange is directly positioned by the positioning pin 6, so as to prevent the orange from sliding;
[0041] Reference Figure 6 As shown, if the orange core needs to be squeezed out through the ejector pin 6, the ejector pin 6 can be connected to the positioning platform 12, and a button 44 is installed at the tail of the ejector pin 6. A reset element 41 is installed on the ejector pin 6, and the two ends of the reset element 41 are pressed against the button 44 and the bottom of the positioning platform 12 respectively. After the orange is cut, the button 44 is pressed with a finger to squeeze out the orange core through the ejector pin 6. After squeezing out the core, the ejector pin 6 returns to its original position driven by the reset element 41. In order to achieve a better sealing effect, a positioning cover plate can also be provided on the ejector pin 6, and the penetration hole can be better sealed from above through the positioning cover plate.
[0042] The orange-cutting knife seat 2 comprises a fixing seat 21, on which a cutting knife holder 5 is mounted, wherein the cutting knife holder 5 comprises an outer ring 51 and an inner ring 52, and a plurality of cutting knives 53 are distributed between the outer ring 51 and the inner ring 52;
[0043] The protection cover 3 includes a shell 31 , and a top cover 32 is movably mounted on the top of the shell 31 .
[0044] The orange opener of the second embodiment is different from the orange opener of the first embodiment in that there is no need to set the arc-shaped positioning groove 121, and the head of the top column 4 is directly set as a tip, thereby forming a top pin 6 structure. The top pin 6 is used to directly position the orange. During the cutting process, since the positioning platform 12 is a plane, the cutting knife holder 5 on the orange cutting knife holder 2 can completely cut the orange, and the cutting can be completed without pushing the orange upward through the top column 4.
[0045] The orange opener adopts a sealed operation, which effectively prevents the cut juice from dripping onto the countertop and avoids the risk of the cutting knife scratching the hand. In addition, the cutting operation can be performed with one hand, which is convenient to use. At the same time, the product is designed with an orange positioning structure to ensure cutting accuracy, so that it can be widely used in orange cutting.
[0046] The preferred specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. It should be understood that a person skilled in the art can make many modifications and changes based on the concept of the present invention without creative work. Therefore, any technical solution that can be obtained by a person skilled in the art through logical analysis, reasoning or limited experiments based on the concept of the present invention on the basis of the prior art should be within the scope of protection determined by the claims.
