[0002] In traditional knife sharpening operations, a whetstone is usually used to sharpen the knife. During this process, iron shavings will be produced on the cutting edge of the knife. At the same time, in order to improve the sharpening effect, users often sprinkle a small amount of water on the surface of the whetstone to increase lubricity, so that the whetstone and the blade fit better, thereby achieving a better sharpening effect. However, after the sharpening operation is completed, a large amount of water stains (also called "waste liquid") mixed with iron shavings are often left on the desktop (also called "work surface"). These stagnant waters are usually turbid, and when they are cleaned with a rag, the rag is also easily dirty, which increases the complexity and difficulty of cleaning the desktop.

[0003] Therefore, how to use the sharpening pad to avoid waste liquid from contaminating the work surface has become a technical problem that needs to be solved. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. It should be understood that these embodiments are only used to illustrate the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. In addition, it should be understood that after reading the content taught by the present invention, those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to the present invention, and these equivalent forms fall within the scope limited by the appended claims of the application equally.

[0035] See also Figures 1 to 6, Specific embodiment 1, this embodiment 1 provides a method for using a knife sharpening pad, the knife sharpening pad includes a pad body 1, and handles are provided on both sides of the pad body 1, which are a left handle 5-1 and a right handle 5-2 respectively. The pad body 1 is made of a flexible material. The pad body 1 is provided with a circle of water retaining part 3, for example, a raised part is provided on the edge of the pad body 1, and the raised parts on the edge of the pad body 1 are connected into a circle to form a circle of water retaining part 3, and the water retaining part 3 concentrates the waste liquid 8 on the pad body 1 to prevent the waste liquid from flowing to the work surface and polluting the work surface, thereby keeping the work surface clean. The pad body 1 refers to the part of the knife sharpening pad used to be placed on the work surface to collect waste liquid 8 and / or dust, and the whetstone or knife sharpening bracket is placed on the pad body 1.

[0036] How to use the sharpening pad, the specific steps are as follows:

[0037] S1. Place a knife sharpening pad on a work surface, place a whetstone or a knife sharpening bracket on the pad body 1 of the knife sharpening pad, and then sharpen the knife on the whetstone or the whetstone of the knife sharpening bracket.

[0038] When sharpening a knife, the pad body 1 is placed between the work surface and the whetstone or between the work surface and the sharpening bracket. The sharpening pad is used to collect sewage, dust and other dirty liquids generated during the sharpening process, thereby reducing the pollution of the work surface and the working environment during the sharpening process. The handle is designed to move the sharpening pad by the handle, so that the waste liquid and / or dust generated by sharpening can be safely and efficiently transported to the sink for cleaning. The pad body 1 can be tilted to easily pour the waste liquid 8 into the sink. Then, the surface of the sharpening pad can be quickly rinsed by turning on the faucet to complete the cleaning of the sharpening pad.

[0039] Preferably, S1-1, the top surface of the pad body 1 is provided with a stopper, such as a stopper bar 2. Before sharpening, the whetstone or the sharpening bracket is pressed against the stopper bar 2. The stopper bar 2 is used to limit the position of the whetstone or the sharpening bracket, which can effectively prevent the movement of the whetstone or the sharpening bracket (especially the movement of the whetstone in the forward direction during the sharpening process), greatly improving the stability and safety of the whetstone during the sharpening process. In step S1-1, the stopper bar 2 is located on the top surface 1-1 of the pad body. When sharpening, the tool is generally sharpened in the front-to-back direction, and the stopper bar 2 is set in the left-right direction. The distance between the stop strip 2 and the front edge of the pad body 1 (such as the front water retaining portion 3-1) ranges from 3cm to 10cm. The area between the stop strip 2 and the front edge of the pad body 1 is used to collect sewage, dust and other dirty liquids generated during the sharpening process to prevent sewage, dust and other dirty liquids from splashing outside the pad body 1 and causing pollution to the work surface and working environment; the distance between the stop strip 2 and the rear edge of the pad body 1 ranges from 15cm to 50cm. The area between the stop strip 2 and the rear edge of the pad body 1 (such as the rear water retaining portion 3-2) is used to place a whetstone or a whetstone holder, and to collect sewage, dust and other dirty liquids generated during the sharpening process. For example, the distance between the stop strip 2 and the front edge of the pad body 1 is 4cm; the distance between the stop strip 2 and the rear edge of the pad body 1 is 29cm.

[0040] Preferably, the water retaining part 3 is respectively a left water retaining part 3-3, a right water retaining part 3-4, a front water retaining part 3-1 and a rear water retaining part 3-2. In combination with the pad body 1, it is used to collect sewage, dust and other dirty liquids generated during the sharpening process, so as to reduce the pollution of the work surface and the working environment during the sharpening process. For example, the height range of the left water retaining part 3-3 and the right water retaining part 3-4 is 5mm-20mm; the height range of the front water retaining part 3-1 and the rear water retaining part 3-2 is 5mm-30mm; in this way, the sharpening pad also has the function of storing sewage, dust and other dirty liquids generated during the sharpening process in an appropriate amount, such as the maximum water storage capacity of the sharpening pad reaches 1000ml, and the safe water storage capacity is 800ml, which can meet the storage requirements of the waste liquid 8 generated by normal sharpening of the whetstone, and after the sharpening is completed, it is transported to the washbasin to dump the waste liquid 8. For example, the height of the left water retaining part 3-3 and the right water retaining part 3-4 is 9.3mm. The height of the front water barrier 3-1 and the rear water barrier 3-2 is 19.7 mm.

[0041] Preferably, the front water retaining portion 3-1 and the rear water retaining portion 3-2 are higher than the left water retaining portion 3-3 and the right water retaining portion 3-4, and the front water retaining portion 3-1 is in an arc shape with a high middle and low ends, and the rear water retaining portion 3-2 is in an arc shape with a high middle and low ends. The front water retaining portion 3-1 and the rear water retaining portion 3-2 are high in the process of transferring the knife sharpening pad, and waste liquid will converge forward and backward, which can play the role of storing more waste liquid, and avoid the left water retaining portion and the right water retaining portion of the knife sharpening pad being touched by the hand during the knife sharpening process as far as possible, and reduce the influence of the knife sharpening pad on the knife sharpening. In the S1 step, the left hand of the general knife sharpening personnel (i.e., the operator) and the left side of the tool correspond to the left water retaining portion 3-3 above, and the right hand of the knife sharpening personnel and the right side of the tool correspond to the right water retaining portion 3-4 above, pull the tool to sharpen the knife on the whetstone, and avoid the left water retaining portion 3-3 and the right water retaining portion 3-4 of the knife sharpening pad being touched by the hand during the knife sharpening process as far as possible, and reduce the influence of the knife sharpening pad on the knife sharpening. The front water retaining portion 3-1 and the rear water retaining portion 3-2 are relatively high because the waste liquid 8 will gather forward and backward during the process of transferring the sharpening pad (for example, because the pad body 1 is made of elastic silicone, once the handle is lifted, the waste liquid 8 of the pad body 1 will automatically gather in the inner depression of the pad body 1 in the lifted state (for example, it will present a funnel shape with a sealed bottom) under the action of gravity. At this time, the front water retaining portion 3-1 and the rear water retaining portion 3-2 can better help prevent the waste liquid 8 from overflowing, and can play a role in storing more waste liquid 8.

[0042] Preferably, the top surface 1-1 of the pad body is provided with a first anti-skid portion 6; the bottom surface 1-2 of the pad body is provided with a second anti-skid portion. The first anti-skid portion 6 is located on the top surface 1-1 of the pad body between the stop strip 2 and the rear edge of the pad body 1; the first anti-skid portion 6 adopts a field anti-skid pattern, a triangular anti-skid pattern, a diamond anti-skid pattern or other anti-skid pattern, and the height range of the anti-skid pattern of the first anti-skid portion 6 is less than 1mm, forming a shallow anti-skid pattern; the top surface of the sharpening pad is designed with a large area of ​​field anti-skid pattern (i.e., the first anti-skid portion 6), and the whetstone or the sharpening bracket is placed on the first anti-skid portion 6, which can effectively improve the anti-skid property of the whetstone or the sharpening bracket when sharpening the knife, and the shallow pattern of the first anti-skid portion 6 also facilitates the cleaning and maintenance of the sharpening pad.

[0043] The second anti-slip portion corresponds to the work surface, and the second anti-slip pattern adopts a spark pattern. The second anti-slip pattern adopts a spark pattern design, which not only enhances the friction between the sharpening pad and the work surface, thereby providing sufficient anti-slip performance, but also ensures that the sharpening pad and the work surface can fit smoothly, further improving stability and safety during use.

[0044] S2. The sewage, dust and other dirty liquids generated during the sharpening process fall on the mat body 1 and are blocked by the water retaining part 3 to prevent the sewage, dust and other dirty liquids from splashing outside the mat body 1 and causing pollution to the work surface and the working environment, especially the sewage and other liquids flowing to the work surface and polluting the work surface.

[0045] S3. After the knife sharpening is completed, the operator lifts up the left handle 5-1 and the right handle 5-2, and the middle part of the flexible pad body 1 is sunken to form an inner depression, and sewage, dust and other dirty liquids are collected in the inner depression. The operator lifts up the left handle 5-1 and the right handle 5-2 and moves the knife sharpening pad, so that the waste liquid 8 and / or dust generated by the knife sharpening can be safely and efficiently transported to the washbasin for cleaning.

[0046] Preferably, the flexible material used in the pad body 1 is a silicone material, a rubber material or a plastic material, such as various rubbers (nitrile rubber, silicone rubber, natural rubber, etc.), plastics such as PE (polyethylene) \ TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) \ TPR (thermoplastic rubber) \ PU (polyurethane), etc. The pad body 1 is elastic, soft, and has good elastic deformation ability. The sharpening pad can be folded or curled for easy storage, storage, and transportation.

[0047] Preferably, the top of the water retaining part 3 is connected to a circle of horizontal extension parts 4 extending outward, which are respectively a left horizontal extension part 4-1, a right horizontal extension part 4-2, a front horizontal extension part and a rear horizontal extension part; the outer edge of the horizontal extension part 4 is in a quadrilateral shape, and the overall appearance is more beautiful. For example, the sharpening pad can also be rectangular, and the design is made in combination with conventional sharpening postures and sharpening methods. Specifically, for example, the whetstone is against the stopper bar 2, and the space occupied by the left and right during the sharpening process of the tool movement is larger, and the space occupied by the front and back is smaller. The plane space is reasonably used, and the sharpening pad can effectively accommodate the waste liquid 8, dust, etc. that drips and scatters during the sharpening process. The left horizontal extension part 4-1 is provided with a left gap part 4-1-1, and the left horizontal extension part 4-1 corresponding to the left gap part 4-1-1 is used as the left handle part 5-1, and the right horizontal extension part 4-2 is provided with a right gap part 4-2-1, and the right horizontal extension part 4-2 corresponding to the right gap part 4-2-1 is used as the right handle part 5-2. The stop strip 2, the water retaining part 3 and the horizontal extension part 4 are all made of flexible materials. For example, the flexible material is a silicone material or a rubber material or a plastic material, such as various rubbers (nitrile rubber, silicone rubber, natural rubber, etc.), plastics such as PE\TPE\TPR\PU, etc. The sharpening pad in this embodiment 1 can be made of silicone as a whole. The horizontal extension part 4 of the sharpening pad is reasonably used to form a handle part, and the elasticity of silicone or the softness of silicone is used to lift the left horizontal extension part 4-1 and the right horizontal extension part 4-2. The left hand fingers pass through the left gap part 4-1-1 and hold the left handle part 5-1, and the right hand fingers pass through the right gap part 4-2-1 and hold the right handle part 5-2. Move the sharpening pad, and the waste liquid 8 and / or dust generated by sharpening can be safely and efficiently transported to the washbasin for cleaning. The design of the handle part is simple and ingenious. By utilizing the elasticity of silicone or the softness of silicone (other flexible materials, such as rubber materials or plastic materials, can also make the knife sharpening pad have flexible characteristics), the handle portion as the horizontal extension portion 4 is flat when the knife sharpening pad is used normally, which does not affect the knife sharpening operation and is more beautiful as a whole. However, when moving the knife sharpening pad to circulate the waste liquid 8, the handle portion can be held tightly on both sides and the knife sharpening pad can be lifted. The waste liquid 8 on the top surface of the knife sharpening pad is collected in the inward recessed position of the knife sharpening pad, and the waste liquid 8 will not splash or spill to the outside of the knife sharpening pad, thereby preventing the waste liquid from contaminating the work surface during the movement of the knife sharpening pad. The handle portion helps to safely and stably transport the knife sharpening pad and the waste liquid 8 to the wash basin or sink to pour out the waste liquid 8 and clean the knife sharpening pad.

[0048] Preferably, in step S3-1, the back of the left horizontal extension part 4-1 is provided with left reinforcing ribs 4-1-2 near both ends of the left gap part 4-1-1 to prevent the left gap part 4-1-1 from being torn, and the back of the right horizontal extension part 4-2 is provided with right reinforcing ribs 4-2-2 near both ends of the right gap part 4-2-1 to prevent the right gap part 4-2-1 from being torn. The design of the left reinforcing ribs 4-1-2 and the right reinforcing ribs 4-2-2 ensures that the sharpening pad is strong and durable enough in normal use, and can effectively ensure that the sharpening pad has a long service life.

[0049] Preferably, the pad body 1 is provided with a hanging hole 7 or the horizontal extension portion 4 is provided with a hanging hole 7. For example, in this embodiment 1, the pad body 1 is provided with a hanging hole 7. After the sharpening pad is cleaned, S3-2 is added, and the sharpening pad is hung up using the hanging hole 7 (for example, the pad body 1 is in a vertical state at this time), which is convenient for storing the sharpening pad and also convenient for residual water stains on the sharpening pad after cleaning to fall off.

[0050] See also Figure 7 , Specific embodiment 2, this embodiment 2 provides a method for using a knife sharpening pad, wherein the knife sharpening pad comprises a pad body 1, the pad body 1 is made of a flexible material, and a circle of water retaining part 3 is provided at the edge of the pad body 1. The specific steps of the method for using the knife sharpening pad are as follows:

[0051] S1, placing a sharpening pad on a work surface, placing a sharpening stone or a sharpening stand on the pad body 1 of the sharpening pad, and then sharpening the knife on the sharpening stone or the sharpening stone of the sharpening stand;

[0052] S2, waste liquid (8) and / or dust (such as sewage, dust and other dirty liquids, etc.) generated during the sharpening process falls on the pad body 1 and is blocked by the water retaining part 3;

[0053] S3, after the knife sharpening is finished, the operator lifts up the pad body 1, the middle part of the flexible pad body 1 is sunken to form an inner depression 1-3, the waste liquid (8) and / or dust are collected in the inner depression 1-3, and the operator moves the knife sharpening pad to the wash basin for cleaning. In this step S3, the so-called "the operator lifts up the pad body 1" can be the operator directly lifting up the pad body 1, or the operator lifting up the pad body 1 by holding the water retaining part 3 (i.e. indirectly lifting up the pad body 1), not limited to one operator lifting up with both hands, or multiple operators lifting up together, as long as the middle part of the pad body 1 is sunken to form an inner depression 1-3, the waste liquid 8 or dust in the pad body 1 is collected in the inner depression 1-3 under the action of gravity.

[0054] The method for using a knife sharpening pad in this embodiment 2 can also achieve the purpose of using the knife sharpening pad to prevent waste liquid 8 and / or dust from contaminating the work surface. When the operator lifts the pad body 1 with both hands, there is no limit on the direction, and it can be lifted left and right, front and back, or diagonally, etc., and the waste liquid (8) and / or dust can be collected in the inner concave part 1-3, and the knife sharpening pad and the waste liquid (8) and / or dust in it can be moved to the washbasin for cleaning.

[0055] See also Figures 8 to 9 , Specific embodiment 3, this embodiment 3 provides a method for using a knife sharpening pad. The difference between this embodiment 3 and embodiment 2 is that the pad body 1 is made of a flexible material, but the water retaining part 3 is made of a hard material. At this time, the first step and the second step are the same as steps S1 and S2 in embodiment 2. In step S3, when the operator lifts the pad body 1 or the water retaining part 3, the water retaining part 3 does not deform, only the middle part of the flexible pad body 1 is sunken to form an inner depression 1-3, and the waste liquid 8 and / or dust are collected in the inner depression 1-3. The operator moves the knife sharpening pad to the washbasin for cleaning, and the purpose of using the knife sharpening pad to avoid waste liquid 8 and / or dust from polluting the work surface can also be achieved.
