Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of knives, in particular to a deformable folding knife. Background Art

[0002] Knives are mainly divided into cutting knives for side cutting and scrapers for scraping. A cutting knife is a tool for arts and crafts, mostly of a pull-out structure, consisting of a plastic handle and a blade. Usually the cutting edge of the blade is parallel to the axis of the handle or the shell, and is mainly used for cutting, such as cutting paper, cardboard, etc. A scraper usually has a blade that is perpendicular or orthogonal to the axis of the handle, and is used for scraping, such as scraping paint, glue marks, etc. from a flat surface. A cutting knife and a scraper are two separate hand tools, and they are often not interchangeable. It is usually necessary to purchase, store and carry these two separate tools, which brings inconvenience to the user.

[0041] It should be noted that the terms "front", "back", etc. are used to indicate the orientation to facilitate the description of the present invention and simplify the description, rather than to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. It can also be expressed as "above", "below", or "one side", "the other side", etc., and cannot be understood as limiting the specific scope of protection of the present invention.

[0042] A deformable folding knife, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, it includes: a knife housing 10, a knife seat 40, a first guide assembly and a second guide assembly. The knife housing 10 includes an outer shell 11 and an inner shell 20. The outer shell 11 is provided with a main accommodating chamber 12 and an opening 13. The opening 13 is provided on the side of the outer shell 11 so that the main accommodating chamber 12 is connected to the outside. The inner shell 20 is rotatably and foldably installed in the main accommodating chamber 12 through a main shaft 14, and can be rotated out of or into the main accommodating chamber 12 through the opening 13. The inner shell 20 is provided with an accommodating chamber 23 and a port 24. The port 24 is opened at the front end of the inner shell 20 so that the accommodating chamber 23 is connected to the outside. The knife seat 40 is used to carry a blade 45. The knife seat 40 is rotatably installed in the accommodating chamber 23, and can be rotated out of or into the accommodating chamber 23 through the port 24. The inner shell 20 is further provided with an escape area 231, which is located on one or both sides of the front end of the inner shell 20. The escape area 231 laterally connects the accommodating chamber 23 and the outside. When the knife holder 40 rotates, the escape area 231 is suitable for the knife holder 40 to rotate out of or into the accommodating chamber 23, so as to avoid interference between the blade 45 and the inner shell 20. Specifically, when the inner shell 20 rotates out of the main accommodating chamber 12, the knife is in an unfolded state, the blade of the blade 45 extends out of the accommodating chamber 23 through the port 24, and the blade 45 can be rotated by the knife holder 40 to achieve multi-angle positioning and use; when the inner shell 20 rotates into the main accommodating chamber 12, the knife is in a folded state, and the blade 45 and the inner shell 20 are accommodated in the main accommodating chamber 12, so as to avoid accidental injury caused by the exposure of the blade 45, and at the same time, it is conducive to reducing the length of the knife and making it easy to carry.

[0043] like Figures 8 to 10As shown, the first guide assembly is provided with a first guide rail 212 and a driving member 30, and the driving member 30 is drivably connected to the front face of the tool holder 40 so that the tool holder 40 can move along the first guide rail 212, that is, the driving member 30 is pivotally connected to the front face of the tool holder 40, and the driving member 30 can drive the tool holder 40 to move along the first guide rail 212 by translating and / or rotating the driving member 30; the second guide assembly is provided with a fixed surface 222 and a second guide rail 221, and the second guide rail 221 is opened on the fixed surface 222, and the back face of the tool holder 40 is pivotally connected to the second guide rail 221 so that the tool holder 40 can move along the second guide rail 221.

[0044] It is understandable that the knife holder 40 is connected to the first guide rail 212 and the second guide rail 221 at the same time, and can move along the first guide rail 212 and the second guide rail 221. The knife holder 40 can be translated and / or rotated by the common guidance of the first guide rail 212 and the second guide rail 221. In other words, when the driving member 30 is translated and / or rotated relative to the fixed surface 222, the knife holder 40 can be selectively rotated into or out of the accommodating cavity 23, so that the knife holder 40 can be alternately changed in multiple positioning angles between the longitudinal position and the transverse position, so that the tool can be switched between the cutting knife and the scraper, which is easy to operate, conducive to improving work efficiency, and has a compact structure.

[0045] In some embodiments, Figures 7 to 10 As shown, the deformable folding knife further includes a sliding assembly 50, and the driving member 30 is provided with a driving surface 34. The sliding assembly 50 is assembled on the driving surface 34, so as to drive the driving member 30 to translate and / or rotate. Specifically, by pushing the sliding assembly 50 to move longitudinally along the axial direction, the driving member 30 can be driven to translate and / or rotate, and the knife holder 40 can be further driven to translate and / or rotate, and then the knife holder 40 can be rotated out or in relative to the accommodating cavity 23 to realize multi-angle steering.

[0046] Specifically, Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the knife seat 40 includes a first guide member 411 and a second guide member 421, which are staggeredly arranged on the front and back of the knife seat 40, respectively. The first guide member 411 protrudes from the front of the knife seat 40 and is pivotally connected to the front end of the driving surface 34 and the first guide rail 212, so that the first guide member 411 drives the knife seat 40 to translate and / or rotate along the first guide rail 212. The second guide member 421 protrudes from the back of the knife seat 40 and is pivotally connected to the second guide rail 221, so that the second guide member 421 drives the knife seat 40 to translate and / or rotate along the second guide rail 221, so that the longitudinal driving force of the sliding assembly 50 on the driving member 30 is converted into a steering force of the driving member 30 on the knife seat 40 at multiple positioning angles.

[0047] That is to say, the first guide member 411 is pivotally connected to the driving member 30, so that the knife seat 40 can move under the driving action of the driving member 30, and the first guide member 411 is pivotally connected to the first guide rail 212 for coordinated movement, and the second guide member 421 is coordinated with the second guide rail 221 for movement to generate deflection and guidance, further generating a thrust to push the knife seat 40 in the rotation direction, so that the knife seat 40 rotates to a preset position, so as to meet the multi-purpose use requirements of the blade 45 in the longitudinal, transverse and oblique directions, and improve the application range of the tool.

[0048] Specifically, a first connecting hole 33 is provided at the front end of the driving member 30, and a second connecting hole 31 is provided at the rear end of the driving member 30. The first guide member 411 on the tool holder 40 is pivotally connected to the first connecting hole 33, and the sliding assembly 50 is pivotally connected to the second connecting hole 31. When the sliding member of the sliding assembly 50 is pushed to move longitudinally along the axial direction, the driving member 30 is pushed to translate and / or rotate, and the first guide member 411 is further driven to move along the first guide rail 212, and the second guide member 421 moves along the second guide rail 221, so that the tool holder 40 can smoothly translate and / or rotate along the accommodating cavity 23 to achieve multi-angle positioning of the tool.

[0049] In some embodiments, Figures 15 to 18 As shown, the first guide rail 212 and the second guide rail 221 are arc structures with different trajectories. The first guide rail 212 extends forward in a direction deviating from the second guide rail 221, and the second guide rail 221 extends outward in a direction deviating from the first guide rail 212, so that the knife seat 40 gradually changes direction and turns under the action of forces in two different directions, gradually turning out of the port 24 or turning back to the accommodating cavity 23, so that the blade 45 on the knife seat 40 can change direction at multiple positioning angles between the longitudinal position and the lateral position.

[0050] Specifically, since the projections of the first guide member 411 and the second guide member 421 on the fixed surface 222 do not overlap, and the distance between the projections of the first guide member 411 and the second guide member 421 on the fixed surface 222 remains unchanged, when the extension direction of the first guide rail 212 and the extension direction of the second guide rail 221 deviate from each other, and the first guide member 411 moves along the first guide rail 212 and the second guide member 421 moves along the second guide rail 221, under the guidance of the first guide rail 212 and the second guide rail 221, the relative positions of the first guide member 411 and the second guide member 421 on the fixed surface 222 change, further enabling the tool holder 40 to smoothly translate and / or rotate, so as to realize multi-angle positioning of the tool, realize multiple uses of one tool, and facilitate storage and carrying.

[0051] In some embodiments, Figures 7 to 10As shown, the inner shell 20 includes an upper shell 21 and a lower shell 22, and the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 are fixed by fasteners 25. The driving member 30 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 23 between the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22, and is located between the upper shell 21 and the knife seat 40. The upper shell 21 is provided with a first guide rail 212 and a positioning groove 211. The first guide rail 212 is formed on the inner surface of the upper shell 21, and is pivotally connected with the first guide member 411 on the knife seat 40. The positioning groove 211 is opened on the surface of the upper shell 21 and extends in the axial direction. The driving member 30 can be elastically locked in the positioning groove 211, so that the blade 45 of the knife seat 40 is locked in the longitudinal position, the transverse position or the transition position between the longitudinal position and the transverse position, for example, 30°, 45°, or 60° with the axis. The fixing surface 222 is located on the surface of the lower shell 22, and the second guide rail 221 is opened on the surface of the lower shell 22, so as to be pivotally connected with the second guide member 421 on the knife holder 40, that is, the knife holder 40 is movably connected to the upper shell 21 and the lower shell 22 through the first guide member 411 and the second guide member 421. Through the joint action of the first guide rail 212 on the back of the upper shell 21 and the second guide rail 221 on the surface of the lower shell 22, the movement path of the knife holder 40 is limited, so that the blade 45 smoothly transitions to multiple positioning positions without adding complex accessories, which is conducive to reducing production costs.

[0052] In some embodiments, Figures 8 to 11 As shown, the lower end of the sliding assembly 50 passes through the positioning slot 211 and is pivotally connected to the driving member 30, and the sliding assembly 50 is suitable for moving along the positioning slot 211. Further, by pushing the sliding assembly 50, the driving member 30 is driven to drive the knife holder 40 to translate and / or rotate. Specifically, the sliding assembly 50 includes a sliding bracket 51 and a sliding spring 52. The sliding bracket 51 passes through the positioning slot 211 and is pivotally connected to the second connecting hole 31 of the driving member 30. The sliding spring 52 is connected to the sliding bracket 51 and abuts between the driving member 30 and the lower shell 22. By pressing the sliding bracket 51, the driving member 30 can be movably locked in the positioning slot 211. The end of the sliding bracket 51 extending outward from the upper shell 21 is provided with a sliding panel 512, which is convenient for pushing the sliding assembly 50 to move along the positioning slot 211.

[0053] Further, combined with Figures 15 to 18 As shown, the positioning groove 211 includes an elongated moving area 2111 extending longitudinally along the axial direction and a plurality of positioning areas 2112 distributed at intervals. The sliding bracket 51 is provided with an elongated matching portion 511 on the side facing the driving member 30. The matching portion 511 is suitable for moving along the moving area 2111 of the positioning groove 211. The driving member 30 is protrudingly provided with a positioning portion 32 on the side facing the positioning groove 211. The positioning portion 32 is suitable for matching with the positioning area 2112 to lock the driving member 30 so that the tool holder 40 is maintained in an optional position.

[0054] That is, the matching portion 511 of the sliding bracket 51 is adapted to move along the moving area 2111 of the positioning groove 211, and the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 is adapted to be detachably matched with the positioning area 2112 of the positioning groove 211 to position the knife seat 40, and further to position the position of the blade 45. In an optional embodiment, the positioning portion 32 is concentrically arranged with the second connecting hole 31, so that the structure is more compact and easy to operate.

[0055] Specifically, the sliding bracket 51 is pressed and pushed, and the sliding spring sheet 52 is compressed, so that the sliding bracket 51 and the driving member 30 move inward, the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 is separated from the positioning area 2112 of the positioning groove 211 of the upper shell 21, and the matching portion 511 of the sliding bracket 51 is matched with the moving area 2111 of the positioning groove 211 to move, so that the sliding assembly 50 can drive the driving member 30 to translate and / or rotate. The sliding bracket 51 is released, and the sliding spring sheet 52 causes the sliding bracket 51 and the driving member 30 to move outward, the matching portion 511 of the sliding bracket 51 is separated from the moving area 2111 of the positioning groove 211, and the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 is matched with the positioning area 2112 to lock the driving member 30, and further to locate the position of the knife seat 40. The position of the knife holder 40 can be converted and locked by single-handed operation, which improves the convenience and safety of operation. Through the first guide rail 212 and the second guide rail 221, the knife holder 40 can move and turn smoothly, making it easier and smoother to press and push the sliding component 50.

[0056] In some embodiments, Figures 10 to 12 As shown, the deformable folding knife also includes a safety assembly 60, which includes a safety push button 61, a safety spring 64 and a stopper 621. The safety push button 61 is longitudinally movably arranged on the side of the upper shell 21 to stop the blade 45. The safety spring 64 extends longitudinally along the axial direction and abuts against the safety push button 61, so that when the knife seat 40 leaves the longitudinal position, the front end of the safety push button 61 can abut against the knife seat 40 to avoid the blade 45. When the knife seat 40 returns to the longitudinal position, the safety push button 61 is reset to stop the blade 45; the upper end of the safety push button 61 A locking groove 612 is opened on the side, and a locking member 621 is arranged on the inner surface of the upper shell 21 and can be elastically rotatably pressed against the driving member 30. The locking member 621 is suitable for being detachably engaged with the locking groove 612. When the knife seat 40 is located in the longitudinal position, the locking member 621 is suitable for being engaged with the locking groove 612, and the safety push button 61 avoids the blade 45, so that the blade 45 can be rotated out of the accommodating cavity 23. When the knife seat 40 leaves the longitudinal position, the locking member 621 is separated from the locking groove 612 under the action of the driving member 30, so that the front end of the safety push button 61 presses against the knife seat 40.

[0057] Specifically, the safety push button 61 includes a base 611, a guide groove 613, a bent portion 614 and a stop portion 615. The guide groove 613 is opened in the base 611 to accommodate the safety spring 64 and is suitable for cooperating with the guide member 63 so that the base 611 is accommodated in the accommodating cavity 23 along the longitudinal movement of the guide member 63. The upper side surface of the base 611 is provided with a locking groove 612 and a long locking groove 617 at intervals. The locking member 621 is rotatably pressed against the driving member 30 and is suitable for moving along the long locking groove 617 or being locked in the locking groove 612. The bent portion 614 extends from the base 611 to the outside of the inner shell 20 and is exposed on the outside of the inner shell 20 so as to be pushed. The movable bending portion 614 allows the safety push button 61 to move along the guide member 63, and a sliding groove 616 is formed between the base 611 and the bending portion 614, so that it can be movably connected to the upper shell 21. The stop portion 615 extends from the base 611 toward the avoidance area 231 to cover at least a portion of the avoidance area 231. When the blade 45 is in the longitudinal position, the stop portion 615 is located below the blade 45 to stop the blade 45 from rotating out of the accommodating cavity 23. When the locking member 621 is engaged with the locking groove 612 or the front end of the safety push button 61 is against the blade seat 40, the safety push button 61 moves to make the stop portion 615 avoid the blade 45, so that the blade 45 can be rotated out of or into the accommodating cavity 23.

[0058] In a specific embodiment, the first guide members 411 and the second guide members 421 on both sides of the knife seat 40 are located on the same straight line parallel to the blade, the starting end of the first guide rail 212 and the starting end of the second guide rail 221 are located on the same straight line parallel to the axis, the first guide rail 212 extends forward in a direction deviating from the second guide rail 221, and the second guide rail 221 extends outward in a direction away from the first guide rail 212, and the end of the first guide rail 212 and the end of the second guide rail 221 are located on the same straight line perpendicular to the axis, when the first guide member 411 is located at the starting end of the first guide rail 212 and the second guide member 421 is located at the second guide rail 2 21, the knife seat 40 is located at the starting end of the first guide rail 212, and the blade 45 extends out of the port 24, so that it can be used as a longitudinal cutting knife. When the first guide member 411 turns and moves along the first guide rail 212, and the second guide member 421 turns and moves along the second guide rail 221, the knife seat 40 turns out of the accommodating cavity 23 and the turning angle is generally 0°~90° or 90°~180°. At this time, the blade 45 is converted to an inclined state. When the first guide member 411 is located at the end of the first guide rail 212 and the second guide member 421 is located at the end of the second guide rail 221, the knife seat 40 is rotated to the transverse position, and the blade 45 is converted to a transverse state, so that it can be used as a transverse scraper.

[0059] Specifically, if Fig.15As shown, the inner shell 20 is in the unfolded position, the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 is located in the positioning area 2112 on the right side of the positioning groove 211 of the upper shell 21, and the driving member 30 is located at the rightmost side. It can be understood that the sliding assembly 50 is also located at the rightmost side, the first guide member 411 of the knife seat 40 is connected to the first connecting hole 33 at the front end of the driving member 30, and the first guide member 411 of the knife seat 40 is located at the end of the upper right side of the first guide rail 212, and the second guide member 421 of the knife seat 40 is located at the end of the lower right side of the second guide rail 221. The knife seat 40 is located in the longitudinal position, so that the blade 45 is parallel to the axis and can be used as a cutting knife. At this time, the safety push button 61 is located at the initial position on the leftmost side, one end of the locking member 621 is against the driving member 30, and the other end of the locking member 621 is against the safety push button 61, and the contact point is located on the right side of the long slot 617, and the stopper 615 is located below the blade 45 to stop the blade 45 from rotating.

[0060] like Fig.16 As shown, the safety push button 61 is moved to the right, at which time one end of the locking member 621 abuts against the driving member 30, and the other end of the locking member 621 abuts against the safety push button 61, and is engaged with the locking groove 612, so that the stopper 615 deviates from the blade 45, avoiding interference with the blade 45 when the subsequent knife seat 40 drives the blade 45 to change direction and rotate.

[0061] like Fig.17 As shown, the sliding assembly 50 is pressed, so that the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 is separated from the positioning area 2112 of the positioning groove 211 of the upper shell 21, and the matching portion 511 of the sliding bracket 51 cooperates with the moving area 2111, so that the sliding assembly 50 can drive the driving member 30 to translate and / or rotate, and further make the first guide member 411 of the knife seat 40 turn and move along the first guide rail 212, and the second guide member 421 of the knife seat 40 turn and move along the second guide rail 221, so that the first guide member 411 moves The second guide member 421 moves to the middle area of ​​the second guide rail 221; the sliding assembly 50 is released, and the sliding spring 52 causes the sliding bracket 51 and the driving member 30 to move outward, and the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 cooperates with the positioning area 2112 in the middle of the sliding groove 616 of the upper shell 21, locking the knife seat 40 in the transition position, and the blade 45 is completely exposed from the inner shell 20, and is at an angle of 45° with the knife shell 10, so that it can be used as an oblique scraper.

[0062] It is understandable that when the driving member 30 moves and / or rotates, the locking member 621 is moved in a Fig.17It is rotated counterclockwise in the direction shown to separate from the locking groove 612. Further, the force of the safety spring 64 causes the safety push button 61 to move forward, and the front end of the base 611 of the safety push button 61 abuts against the knife seat 40 to avoid the safety push button 61 from being completely reset. At this time, the stopper 615 is still deviated from the blade 45 to avoid interference with the blade 45, thereby ensuring that the knife seat 40 can drive the blade 45 to change direction and rotate smoothly.

[0063] like Fig.18 As shown, the sliding assembly 50 is pressed, so that the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 is separated from the positioning area 2112 of the positioning groove 211 of the upper shell 21, and the matching portion 511 of the sliding bracket 51 cooperates with the moving area 2111, so that the sliding assembly 50 can drive the driving member 30 to translate and / or rotate, and further make the first guide member 411 of the knife seat 40 turn and move along the first guide rail 212, and the second guide member 421 of the knife seat 40 turn and move along the second guide rail 221, so that the first guide member 411 moves to The second guide member 421 moves to the end of the lower left side of the first guide rail 212, and the second guide member 421 moves to the end of the upper left side of the second guide rail 221; the sliding assembly 50 is released, and the sliding spring 52 causes the sliding bracket 51 and the driving member 30 to move outward, and the positioning portion 32 of the driving member 30 cooperates with the positioning area 2112 on the left side of the sliding groove 616 of the upper shell 21, locking the knife seat 40 in a horizontal position, and the blade 45 is completely exposed to the inner shell 20, and is at an angle of 90° with the knife shell 10, so that it can be used as a horizontal scraper. It can be understood that by further extending the second guide rail 221, the knife seat 40 can continue to translate and / or rotate, so that the blade 45 is at an angle of 135° or even 180° with the inner shell 20, or any angle between 90° and 180°.

[0064] It can be understood that when the driving member 30 translates and / or rotates, the force of the safety spring 64 causes the safety push button 61 to move forward, the front end of the base 611 of the safety push button 61 abuts against the knife seat 40, and the locking member 621 is moved in the position under the action of the locking spring 622. Fig.18 Rotate clockwise in the direction shown, one end of the locking member 621 abuts against the driving member 30, and the other end abuts against the safety push button 61, and the contact point moves to the right along the long slot 617, and the stopper 615 is still deviated from the blade 45 to avoid interference with the blade 45, so that the knife seat 40 drives the blade 45 to change direction and rotate smoothly. When the knife seat 40 is in the longitudinal position, the safety push button 61 is completely reset, and the contact point between the locking member 621 and the safety push button 61 is located at the rightmost side of the long slot 617.

[0065] Furthermore, when the sliding assembly 50 is pressed to move to the right, the knife seat 40 is able to rotate from the horizontal position to the longitudinal position via the transition position, and the knife seat 40 abuts against the front end of the base 611 of the safety push button 61. The rotation of the knife seat 40 enables the safety push button 61 to overcome the resistance of the safety spring 64 and move to the right, thereby preventing the stopper 615 from interfering with the blade 45 and hindering the knife seat 40 from changing direction and rotating. At this time, the contact point between the locking member 621 and the safety push button 61 moves to the left along the long slot 617. When the knife seat 40 is close to the longitudinal position, the knife seat 40 is separated from the safety push button 61, and the force of the safety spring 64 causes the safety push button 61 to move forward and reset. The contact point between the locking member 621 and the safety push button 61 is located at the rightmost side of the long slot 617, and the stopper 615 is located below the blade 45, thereby stopping the blade 45 from rotating.

[0066] In some embodiments, Figure 7 As shown, the deformable folding knife further includes a self-locking assembly 70, which includes a self-locking push button 71 and a self-locking spring 72. The self-locking push button 71 is longitudinally movable and is disposed on the inner shell 20, and is suitable for abutting against the driving member 30. The self-locking spring 72 provides a force for the self-locking push button 71 to move toward the driving member 30. Figure 3 As shown, the self-locking push button 71 is provided with a first self-locking portion 711 protrudingly, the upper shell 21 is provided with a self-locking hole 213, the first self-locking portion 711 extends toward the outer shell 11 through the self-locking hole 213, and the inner surface of the outer shell 11 is provided with a second self-locking portion 15 protrudingly, and the driving member 30 acts on the self-locking push button 71, so that the first self-locking portion 711 can be detachably abutted against the second self-locking portion 15.

[0067] Specifically, combined with Figure 3 and Figures 15 to 18 As shown, when the deformable folding knife is in the unfolded state, the second self-locking portion 15 on the shell 11 is located beside the self-locking hole 213 of the upper shell 21; Fig.15 As shown, further, when the blade 45 is in the longitudinal position, the drive member 30 abuts against the self-locking push button 71, and the self-locking spring 72 is compressed, so that the self-locking push button 71 moves longitudinally backward along the axial direction, further separating the first self-locking portion 711 from the second self-locking portion 15, and the inner shell 20 can be rotated relative to the outer shell 11 and folded into the main accommodating cavity 12.

[0068] like Fig.17 and Fig.18 As shown, when the blade 45 leaves the longitudinal position, the drive member 30 separates from the self-locking push button 71, and the self-locking spring 72 pushes the self-locking push button 71 to move forward longitudinally along the axial direction, further causing the first self-locking portion 711 to abut against the second self-locking portion 15, thereby preventing the inner shell 20 from rotating relative to the outer shell 11, so that the deformable folding knife remains in the unfolded state, thereby preventing the blade 45 from being unable to be smoothly accommodated in the main accommodating cavity 12 and causing accidental injury.

[0069] It is understandable that when the blade 45 is in the longitudinal position, the inner shell 20 rotates relative to the outer shell 11, and the blade 45 can be smoothly accommodated in the main accommodating chamber 12, while when the blade 45 is in the transition position and the transverse position, even if the inner shell 20 can rotate relative to the outer shell 11, the blade 45 will interfere with the outer shell 11, which may cause damage to the outer shell 11 or cause accidental injury to the user. The self-locking component 70 allows the inner shell 20 to be rotated and folded to the outer shell 11 when the knife holder 40 is in the longitudinal position, and the knife holder 40 can be kept unfolded when it is in other positions, so as to avoid accidental injury caused by the blade 45 not being able to be smoothly accommodated in the main accommodating chamber 12.

[0070] In some embodiments, Figure 2 , Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, the deformable folding knife also includes a locking assembly 80, which includes a locking member 81 and a locking spring 82. The locking member 81 can be elastically pressed to the outer shell 11 through the locking spring 82. The locking member 81 is provided with a radially protruding locking portion 811, and the inner shell 20 is provided with a plurality of locking notches 223. The locking portion 811 can be detachably engaged with the locking notches 223, so that the inner shell 20 can be kept in an expanded state or a folded state.

[0071] Specifically, by pressing the locking member 81, the locking spring 82 is compressed, so that the locking portion 811 is separated from the locking notch 223, and the inner shell 20 can be rotated relative to the outer shell 11 to rotate out of or into the main accommodating cavity 12; the locking member 81 is released, and when the locking portion 811 engages with the locking notch 223, the inner shell 20 can be maintained in the unfolded state or the folded state.

[0072] In a specific embodiment, a locking notch 223 is provided on each side of the lower shell 22. When the locking portion 811 is connected to the locking notch 223 on one side, the inner shell 20 remains in an unfolded state, so as to avoid the inner shell 20 rotating relative to the outer shell 11 during use and causing safety hazards, thereby facilitating cutting or scraping operations; when the locking portion 811 is connected to the locking notch 223 on the other side, the inner shell 20 remains in a folded state, so as to avoid the inner shell 20 rotating out of the main accommodating cavity 12 during storage or carrying, thereby exposing the blade and causing safety hazards.

[0073] In some embodiments, Fig.13 and Fig.14As shown, the tool holder 40 includes a first tool holder 41, an intermediate tool holder 43, a second tool holder 42 and a tool holder spring piece 44. The first tool holder 41 is provided with a spring piece groove 412 and a first mounting groove 413 on the side facing the second tool holder 42. The intermediate tool holder 43 is accommodated in the first mounting groove 413 and is rotatably connected to the first tool holder 41 and the second tool holder 42. The tool holder spring piece 44 is accommodated in the spring piece groove 412 to provide a force to the intermediate tool holder 43 against the second tool holder 42, so that the blade 45 can be detachably installed between the second tool holder 42 and the intermediate tool holder 43. The first guide member 411 protrudes radially outward from the first tool holder 41, and is pivotally connected to the first connecting hole 33 at the front end of the driving member 30, and is connected to the first guide rail 212 on the inner side of the upper shell 21. It is driven by the driving member 30 and can move along the first guide rail 212. The second guide member 421 protrudes radially outward from the second tool holder 42 eccentrically relative to the first guide member 411, and is connected to the second guide rail 221 of the lower shell 22.

[0074] Specifically, the intermediate blade holder 43 includes a main body 431, a rotating shaft 433 and an extending portion 432, wherein the rotating shaft 433 is located on both sides of the upper end of the main body 431, and is rotatably connected to the first blade holder 41, and the extending portion 432 extends upward from the upper end of the main body 431, is exposed to the outside from the upper end of the blade holder 40, and is movably located between the first blade holder 41 and the second blade holder 42. Further, a limiting portion 435 and a fixing portion 434 are protrudingly provided at the lower end of the main body 431 toward one side of the second blade holder 42, and the blade 45 is provided with a through limiting opening 452 and a mounting hole 451, and the limiting portion 435 on the main body 431 is suitable for cooperating with the limiting opening 452, and the fixing portion 434 is suitable for passing through the mounting hole 451, so as to fix the blade 45. A second mounting groove 422 and a third mounting groove 423 are provided on one side of the second tool holder 42 facing the middle tool holder 43 . The second mounting groove 422 is used to accommodate the end of the fixing portion 434 , and the third mounting groove 423 is used to avoid the end of the limiting portion 435 .

[0075] It can be understood that the extension portion 432 and the main body portion 431 are located on both sides of the rotation axis of the rotating shaft portion 433, and the elastic force of the blade holder spring 44 can be overcome by moving the extension portion 432 to rotate the main body portion 431 away from the second blade holder 42, and further separate the fixing portion 434 located at the lower end of the main body portion 431 from the mounting hole 451, so that the blade 45 can be replaced. In a specific embodiment, the thickness of the main body portion 431 is gradually reduced from top to bottom, so that the structure of the blade holder 40 is more compact, which is conducive to reducing the volume of the blade holder 40.

[0076] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 7As shown, the deformable folding knife also includes a side clip 90, which is elastically arranged on the outer side of the shell 11 and is used to clamp objects, such as notebooks, pockets, etc., which helps to avoid the loss of the knife.
