Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, in particular to a knife holder. Background Art

[0002] Knives are essential kitchen utensils, and many households have knife racks for convenient and safe knife storage. Currently, knife racks on the market include sharpening elements within the knife slots. These elements sharpen the knives as they are inserted and removed, preventing blunt edges. However, the sharpening elements grind the knives with each insertion, potentially damaging previously sharp or brand-new knives. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present application provides a knife holder, which is used to solve the problem that the knife holder provided with a knife sharpening element will sharpen the knife and cause damage every time the user inserts and pulls the knife.

[0004] The present application provides a tool holder for placing a cutting tool, the tool holder comprising a tool seat and an adjustment assembly, the tool seat having a mounting slot and at least one tool insertion slot, the adjustment assembly being mounted in the mounting slot, the adjustment assembly comprising at least a receiving portion and a tool sharpening portion distributed along a first direction, the tool sharpening portion being provided with a sharpening element, the adjustment assembly being movable relative to the tool seat along the first direction to switch the tool holder between a first state and a second state. In the first state, the receiving portion is in communication with the tool insertion slot, and in the second state, the tool sharpening portion is in communication with the tool insertion slot.

[0005] In this solution, the knife slot of the tool holder is used to accommodate the tool. When the tool holder only needs to accommodate the tool (no need to sharpen the tool), the user drives the adjustment component to move in the first direction, so that the adjustment component moves relative to the tool holder in the installation slot, and then the accommodating portion of the adjustment component is connected with the knife slot along the second direction to form a space for accommodating the tool. At this time, the tool holder is in the first state, so that the tool is accommodated in the tool holder. At this time, since no sharpening element is provided in the accommodating portion, the tool is prevented from being damaged by being sharpened when stored in the accommodating portion.

[0006] When the knife holder is used to store and sharpen knives, the user drives the adjustment assembly in a first direction, causing the adjustment assembly to move relative to the knife holder within the mounting slot, thereby connecting the knife sharpening portion of the adjustment assembly with the knife insertion slot in a second direction to form a space for accommodating and sharpening knives. At this time, the sharpening element in the sharpening portion can contact the knife, placing the knife holder in a second state. As the user inserts and removes the knife, the sharpening element in the sharpening portion can sharpen the knife, thereby improving the problem of knife bluntness and enhancing the user's experience of using the knife. At the same time, the sharpening portion is installed in the knife holder, which can avoid the risk of loss caused by the knife holder and the sharpening element being stored separately, thereby improving user convenience.

[0007] In this solution, the adjustment component is moved in a first direction to enable the knife holder to switch between a first state and a second state, thereby realizing that the knife holder has multiple functions, making it convenient for the user to adjust the usage state of the knife holder according to actual needs, so that the knife holder can be in the sharpening position (second state) or the non-sharpening position (first state) as needed, thereby improving the user experience of the knife holder. In addition, the knife holder in the solution of this application only needs to drive the adjustment component to move in the first direction to adjust the state of the knife holder, and there is no need to remove the adjustment component, sharpening element and other components of the knife holder during the state switching process, which has the advantage of convenient operation, and the knife holder remains in a complete state during the state switching process. In addition, the position of the tool in the knife holder when the knife holder is in the first state is the same as the position of the tool in the knife holder when the knife holder is in the second state, that is, the knife slot of the knife holder can be used to accommodate tools in both states, thereby simplifying the structure of the knife holder, enabling the knife holder to be used to accommodate the same number of tools as the knife slots of the knife holder, improving the knife holder's accommodating capacity without increasing the volume of the knife holder, and improving the user experience.

[0008] In this solution, the tool holder further includes a side cover, which is detachably connected to the tool holder and covers the mounting slot. The adjustment assembly is connected to a driving member, and the side cover has a first through hole, through which the driving member extends.

[0009] In this solution, the side cover blocks the mounting slot, restricting further movement of the adjustment assembly in the first direction. This reduces the risk of the adjustment assembly detaching from the tool holder and improves tool holder reliability. Furthermore, the side cover is detachably connected to the tool holder, allowing for individual replacement of the adjustment assembly within the mounting slot, eliminating the need to replace the entire tool holder and reducing replacement costs. Furthermore, a driver is provided for driving the adjustment assembly in the first direction relative to the tool holder. The driver extends outside the tool holder for easy operation, further facilitating switching between tool holder states.

[0010] The driving member may include a first driving portion and a second driving portion, and the first driving portion and the second driving portion are connected to two ends of the adjustment assembly along the first direction. A second through hole is provided on a side of the blade holder facing away from the side cover, and the first driving portion can extend out of the blade holder through the second through hole, and the second driving portion can extend out of the blade holder through the first through hole.

[0011] Specifically, when the tool holder is in the first state, the first driving portion can extend out of the tool holder through the second through hole. When the tool holder is in the second state, the second driving portion extends out of the tool holder through the first through hole to facilitate pressing. When the tool holder needs to switch from the first state to the second state, the user presses the first driving portion in the first direction, causing the sharpening portion of the adjustment assembly to move until it communicates with the tool insertion slot, thereby placing the tool holder in the second state, i.e., the sharpening position. When the tool holder needs to switch from the second state to the first state, the user presses the second driving portion in the first direction, causing the accommodating portion of the adjustment assembly to move until it communicates with the tool insertion slot, thereby placing the tool holder in the first state, i.e., the non-sharpening position.

[0012] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly is provided with at least one groove, the groove penetrating the adjustment assembly along the second direction, and the groove and the receiving portion are spaced apart along the first direction. The sharpening element is mounted on the adjustment assembly, and at least a portion of the structure of the sharpening element is located within the groove.

[0013] In this embodiment, the groove and the sharpening element, at least partially located within the groove, form the aforementioned sharpening portion. When the tool holder is in the second state, the sharpening portion communicates with the tool insertion slot. During insertion or removal of a tool from the slot, the sharpening element within the sharpening portion contacts and moves relative to the blade, thereby sharpening the tool, providing the tool holder with a sharpening function and enhancing its versatility. This sharpening portion has the advantage of being simple in structure.

[0014] In this embodiment, the adjustment assembly includes a first body and a bottom cover, wherein the first body is provided with a receiving groove communicating with the groove, the sharpening element is installed in the receiving groove and extends into the groove, and the bottom cover is connected to the first body and blocks the receiving groove.

[0015] In this solution, since the bottom cover is connected to the first body and blocks the receiving groove, the risk of the sharpening element being separated from the receiving groove is reduced, and the reliability of the sharpening element being installed in the adjusting assembly is improved.

[0016] In this embodiment, the receiving groove includes a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove, the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove being located on either side of the groove and communicating with the groove, and the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove forming a cross-arranged V-shaped structure. The sharpening element includes a first sharpening unit and a second sharpening unit arranged crosswise, with a portion of the first sharpening unit located in the first receiving groove and a portion located in the second receiving groove, and a portion of the second sharpening unit located in the first receiving groove and a portion located in the second receiving groove, so that the intersection of the first sharpening unit and the second sharpening unit is located in the groove.

[0017] In this solution, the first sharpening unit and the second sharpening unit can be columnar whetstones or other components with a grinding function, and are cross-distributed (i.e., X-shaped distribution), that is, the first sharpening unit and the second sharpening unit form two V-shaped structures. The first receiving groove and the second receiving groove are V-shaped and distributed on both sides of the groove along the second direction, and can be adapted to the structure surrounded by the first sharpening unit and the second sharpening unit, so that a part of the first sharpening unit is installed in the first receiving groove and a part is installed in the second receiving groove, and a part of the second sharpening unit is installed in the first receiving groove and a part is installed in the second receiving groove, and the intersection of the first sharpening unit and the second sharpening unit can be located in the groove, and the intersection has a sharpening space. The sharpening space is convenient for accommodating the tool and enables the sharpening element to contact the tool so that the tool can be sharpened during the insertion and withdrawal process, thereby making the sharpening part have a sharpening function.

[0018] In this solution, the tool holder further includes a limiting assembly, which is installed on the tool seat. The limiting assembly can cooperate with the adjustment assembly to limit the tool holder to the first state or the second state.

[0019] In this solution, the limit component can reduce the risk that the tool holder cannot maintain the first state or the second state after the adjustment component moves in the first direction after the user accidentally touches the driving member, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the tool holder in the first state or the second state, thereby reducing the risk that the user accidentally touches the driving member and causes the tool located in the tool slot to be deformed or damaged.

[0020] In this embodiment, the position-limiting assembly includes a position-limiting member and an elastic member, one end of the elastic member being connected to the position-limiting member and the other end being connected to the tool holder. The adjustment assembly is provided with at least a first mating hole and a second mating hole spaced apart along the first direction. The position-limiting member can be inserted into the first mating hole to place the tool holder in the first state, or the position-limiting member can be inserted into the second mating hole to place the tool holder in the second state.

[0021] In this solution, the deformation of the elastic member drives the limiting member to move in the second direction, so that when the limiting member is aligned with the first or second mating hole, it automatically extends into the first or second mating hole. This allows the user to simply operate the driving member to move in the first direction to engage the limiting member with the first or second mating hole, thereby restricting the tool holder to the first or second state. This simplifies the user's operation and further improves the user experience. Furthermore, the simple structure of the limiting assembly facilitates production and installation, which helps reduce the production cost of the tool holder.

[0022] In this solution, the limiting assembly further includes a mounting seat mounted on the knife seat, the mounting seat having an accommodating cavity, the elastic member is located in the accommodating cavity, and at least part of the structure of the limiting member can extend or retract into the accommodating cavity.

[0023] In this solution, the mounting base facilitates the connection between the elastic member, the position limiting member, and the tool holder, making the deformation direction of the elastic member more precise, thereby improving the accuracy of the position limiting member's movement in the second direction, enabling the position limiting member to engage with the first or second mating hole, and thereby improving the reliability of the position limiting assembly in restraining the tool holder in the first or second state. Furthermore, the mounting base also protects the elastic member and the position limiting member, thereby increasing the service life of the position limiting assembly.

[0024] In this embodiment, the stopper is connected to an extension portion extending radially of the stopper, the extension portion being located within the accommodating cavity, the mounting seat being provided with a first opening, and a portion of the stopper being able to extend out of the accommodating cavity through the first opening so as to engage with the first mating hole or the second mating hole. The extension portion is able to abut against an inner wall of the mounting seat.

[0025] In this solution, the extension portion limits the risk of the limiting member continuing to move in the second direction under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member, causing it to fall out of the accommodating cavity, thereby improving the working reliability of the tool holder switching state.

[0026] In this solution, the knife holder has a mounting hole connected to the mounting groove, and the mounting seat is detachably mounted on the knife holder through the mounting hole.

[0027] In this solution, the limit assembly can be removed from the knife holder, releasing the limit on the adjustment assembly, allowing the adjustment assembly to be removed from the knife holder, making it easier for users to clean and replace it, further reducing the user's replacement cost and meeting the user's actual usage needs.

[0028] In this solution, the tool holder further includes a side cover, which is detachably connected to the tool holder and covers the mounting groove.

[0029] In this solution, the side cover blocks the mounting slot, restricting the adjustment assembly from further movement in the first direction, reducing the risk of the adjustment assembly detaching from the tool holder and improving the reliability of the tool holder. Furthermore, the side cover is detachably connected to the tool holder, allowing the adjustment assembly within the mounting slot to be replaced individually, eliminating the need to replace the entire tool holder and reducing replacement costs.

[0097] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, the embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0098] In a specific embodiment, the present application is further described in detail below through specific embodiments and in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0099] It should be clear that the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0100] The terms used in the embodiments of the present application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present application. The singular forms "a", "an", "the" and "the" used in the embodiments of the present application and the appended claims are also intended to include plural forms unless the context clearly indicates otherwise.

[0101] It should be understood that the term "and / or" as used herein is merely a description of the relationship between associated objects, indicating that three possible relationships exist. For example, "A and / or B" can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist simultaneously, or B exists alone. Furthermore, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the associated objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0102] It should be noted that the directional words such as "upper", "lower", "left", and "right" described in the embodiments of the present application are described based on the angles shown in the accompanying drawings and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it should be understood that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "on" or "under", it can not only be directly connected to the other element "on" or "under", but also be indirectly connected to the other element "on" or "under" through an intermediate element.

[0103] The embodiment of the present application provides a tool holder, which is used to place a tool 4, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the tool holder includes a tool seat 1 and an adjustment assembly 2. The tool seat 1 has a mounting groove 11 and at least one tool insertion groove 12. The adjustment assembly 2 is installed in the mounting groove 11. The adjustment assembly 2 includes at least a receiving portion 21 and a sharpening portion 22 distributed along a first direction X. The sharpening element 221 is provided in the sharpening portion 22. The adjustment assembly 2 can move relative to the tool seat 1 along the first direction X to switch the tool holder to the following positions: Figure 3The first state shown or Figure 4 The second state shown. In the first state, as Figure 3 As shown, the accommodating portion 21 is connected to the inserting slot 12. In the second state, as shown Figure 4 As shown, the knife sharpening portion 22 is communicated with the knife inserting groove 12 .

[0104] In the embodiment of the present application, the knife inserting groove 12 of the tool holder is used to accommodate the tool 4. When the tool holder only needs to accommodate the tool 4 (no need to sharpen the tool), the user drives the adjustment component 2 to move along the first direction X, so that the adjustment component 2 moves relative to the tool holder 1 in the installation groove 11, and then the accommodating portion 21 of the adjustment component 2 is connected with the knife inserting groove 12 along the second direction Y to form a space for accommodating the tool 4. At this time, the tool holder is in a position as shown in FIG. Figure 3 In the first state shown, the tool 4 is accommodated in the tool holder. At this time, since no sharpening element 221 is provided in the accommodation portion 21, the tool 4 is prevented from being damaged by being sharpened when the tool 4 is stored in the accommodation portion 21.

[0105] When the knife holder is used to store and sharpen the knife 4, the user drives the adjustment component 2 to move along the first direction X, so that the adjustment component 2 moves relative to the knife holder 1 in the installation groove 11, and then the sharpening part 22 of the adjustment component 2 is connected with the knife insertion groove 12 along the second direction Y to form a space for storing and sharpening the knife. At this time, the sharpening element 221 in the sharpening part 22 can contact the knife 4, so that the knife holder is in the following position: Figure 4 In the second state shown, the sharpening element 221 in the sharpening unit 22 can sharpen the knife 4 while the user is inserting or removing the knife 4, thereby improving the bluntness of the knife 4 and enhancing the user's experience in using the knife 4. Furthermore, the sharpening unit 22 is installed in the knife holder 1, which can avoid the risk of loss caused by separate storage of the knife holder 1 and the sharpening device, thereby improving user convenience.

[0106] Therefore, in this embodiment, the adjustment assembly 2 is moved along the first direction X to switch the tool holder 1 between the first state and the second state, thereby achieving multiple functions of the tool holder 1. This facilitates the user to adjust the tool holder's usage state according to actual needs, allowing the tool holder to be in the sharpening position (second state) or the non-sharpening position (first state) as needed, thereby improving the user experience of the tool holder. In addition, the tool holder in this embodiment of the application can be adjusted by simply driving the adjustment assembly 2 along the first direction X. During the state switching process, there is no need to remove the adjustment assembly 2, sharpening element 221, and other components of the tool holder, thereby providing the advantages of convenient operation. The tool holder remains intact during the state switching process. In addition, the position of the cutting tool 4 in the tool holder when the tool holder is in the first state is the same as the position of the cutting tool 4 in the tool holder when the tool holder is in the second state. That is, the cutting tool slots 12 of the tool holder 1 can accommodate cutting tools 4 in both states. This simplifies the structure of the tool holder 1 and enables the tool holder to accommodate the same number of cutting tools 4 as the number of cutting tools 4 in the tool holder 1. This improves the tool holder's storage capacity without increasing the size of the tool holder, thereby improving the user experience.

[0107] It should be noted that the first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z mentioned in this article can refer to Figure 5 In the embodiment shown, in a specific embodiment, the first direction X can be the length direction of the tool holder, the second direction Y can be the width direction of the tool holder, and the third direction Z can be the height direction of the tool holder. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0108] Specifically, if Figure 2 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the tool holder 1 has a first side wall 18 and a second side wall 19 along a first direction X. The first side wall 18 has a second opening 181, which communicates with the mounting slot 11, allowing the adjustment assembly 2 to be installed within the mounting slot 11 through the second opening 181. Furthermore, the mounting slot 11 communicates with the blade insertion slot 12, allowing the sharpening portion 22 or the receiving portion 21 of the adjustment assembly 2 located within the mounting slot 11 to communicate with the blade insertion slot 12, thereby accommodating the tool 4. The side walls of the mounting slot 11 along the second direction Y can restrict movement of the adjustment assembly 2 in the second direction Y, thereby improving the operational reliability of the adjustment assembly 2.

[0109] In addition, the tool 4 includes a handle and a tool body, the tool body includes a blade, and the mounting groove 11 is located on the side close to the blade along the second direction Y, so that when the tool holder is in the second state, the blade can be located in the sharpening part 22, so that the sharpening element 221 in the sharpening part 22 can sharpen the blade to meet the user's usage needs.

[0110] In a possible embodiment, the knife holder 1 may be provided with a plurality of parallel knife inserting grooves 12 along the first direction X, and the adjustment assembly 2 may be provided with a plurality of spaced knife sharpening portions 22 and receiving portions 21 along the first direction X, so that the knife holder 1 can accommodate multiple knives 4. For example, Figure 2 and Figure 10 As shown, the tool holder 1 can be provided with two tool insertion grooves 12, namely the first tool insertion groove 121 and the second tool insertion groove 122. At this time, the adjustment component 2 can be provided with two sharpening portions 22 spaced apart along the first direction X, namely the first sharpening portion 222 and the second sharpening portion 223. The adjustment component 2 can also be provided with two accommodating portions 21 spaced apart along the first direction X, namely the first accommodating portion 211 and the second accommodating portion 212. At this time, the tool holder can accommodate two knives 4 at the same time.

[0111] like Figure 10 In the embodiment shown, the first sharpening portion 222, the first receiving portion 211, the second sharpening portion 223 and the second receiving portion 212 are sequentially arranged on the adjustment assembly 2 along the first direction X, and the adjustment assembly 2 is driven to move along the first direction X. The first blade insertion groove 121 can be connected to the first receiving portion 211, and the second blade insertion groove 122 can be connected to the second receiving portion 212 along the second direction Y, so that the tool holder is in the following position: Figure 8 In the first state shown, the knife holder 1 can accommodate two knives 4 and will not sharpen the knives; the adjustment component 2 is driven to move along the first direction X, and the first knife slot 121 can be connected to the first sharpening part 222 along the second direction Y, and the second knife slot 122 can be connected to the second sharpening part 223, so that the knife holder is in the following state. Figure 9 In the second state shown, the tool holder can sharpen two knives 4, further meeting the actual use needs of users.

[0112] In other embodiments, the tool holder 1 may be provided with more than two tool insertion slots 12 , and accordingly, the adjustment assembly 2 may be provided with more than two accommodating portions 21 and more than two sharpening portions 22 , so that the tool holder can be used to accommodate more than two knives 4 .

[0113] In one possible implementation, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the tool holder also includes a side cover 15, which is detachably connected to the tool holder 1 and covers the mounting groove 11. The adjustment assembly 2 is connected to the driving member 23, and the side cover 15 has a first through hole 152, through which the driving member 23 extends.

[0114] In this embodiment, Figure 6As shown, the side cover 15 is used to block the second opening 181 to limit the adjustment assembly 2 from further movement in the first direction X, reducing the risk of the adjustment assembly 2 detaching from the tool holder 1 and improving the reliability of the tool holder. Furthermore, the side cover 15 is detachably connected to the tool holder 1, allowing the adjustment assembly 2 located within the mounting slot 11 to be individually replaced through the second opening 181, eliminating the need for the user to replace the entire tool holder and thereby reducing replacement costs. Furthermore, the driver 23 is used to drive the adjustment assembly 2 to move relative to the tool holder 1 in the first direction X. The driver 23 extends out of the tool holder 1 through the first through-hole 152, facilitating user operation and thereby more conveniently switching the tool holder's status.

[0115] Among them, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the side cover 15 may be provided with a first fixing hole 151, and the knife holder 1 may be provided with a second fixing hole 182 corresponding to the first fixing hole 151, and the fastener 17 passes through the first fixing hole 151 and the second fixing hole 182 in sequence to make the knife holder 1 and the side cover 15 detachably connected, wherein, as shown Figure 2 As shown, the fastener 17 is a screw. The present application does not limit the connection method between the side cover 15 and the blade holder 1, as long as the side cover 15 and the blade holder 1 are detachable.

[0116] In a specific embodiment, Figure 10 As shown, the driving member 23 may include a first driving portion 231 and a second driving portion 232, and the first driving portion 231 and the second driving portion 232 are connected to both ends of the adjustment component 2 along the first direction X. Figure 2 、 Figure 6 ,and Figure 7 As shown, the second side wall 19 of the tool holder 1 facing away from the side cover 15 is provided with a second through hole 132 , through which the first driving portion 231 can extend out of the tool holder 1 , and through which the second driving portion can extend out of the tool holder 1 , through the first through hole 152 .

[0117] Specifically, when the tool holder is in the first state, the first driving portion 231 can extend out of the tool holder through the second through hole 132. When the tool holder is in the second state, the second driving portion 232 extends out of the tool holder through the first through hole 152 for pressing. Figure 3 The first state shown switches to Figure 4 In the second state shown, along the first direction X, the user presses the first driving part 231 to move the sharpening part 22 of the adjustment assembly 2 to communicate with the inserting slot 12, so that the tool holder is in the state shown in FIG. Figure 4 The second state shown is that the tool holder is in the sharpening position; the tool holder needs to be Figure 4 The second state shown switches to Figure 3In the first state shown, along the first direction X, the user presses the second driving portion 232 to move the accommodating portion 21 of the adjustment assembly 2 to communicate with the inserting slot 12, so that the tool holder is in the position shown in FIG. Figure 3 The first state shown is that the knife holder is in the non-sharpening position.

[0118] In addition, in a possible embodiment, when the accommodating portion 21 of the adjusting component 2 moves to communicate with the knife insertion slot 12, that is, the knife holder is in the first state, the first driving portion 231 retracts into the installation slot 11 through the second through hole 132, and at this time only the second driving portion 232 extends out of the knife holder 1 through the first through hole 152, which is convenient for marking that the knife holder is in the non-sharpening position; when the sharpening portion 22 of the adjusting component 2 moves to communicate with the knife insertion slot 12, that is, the knife holder is in the second state, the second driving portion 232 retracts into the installation slot 11 through the first through hole 152, and at this time only the first driving portion 231 extends out of the knife holder 1 through the second through hole 132, which is convenient for marking that the knife holder is in the sharpening position, thereby improving the user experience.

[0119] In other embodiments, the adjustment component 2 may be connected to only one driving member 23. For example, the adjustment component 2 is connected to the driving member 23 at one end along the first direction X, and the driving member 23 may be configured as follows: the user can press the driving member 23 toward the inside of the tool holder 1 to switch the tool holder from the first state to the second state, and the user can pull the driving member 23 toward the outside of the tool holder 1 to switch the tool holder from the second state to the first state; or, the driving member 23 may be configured as follows: the user can pull the driving member 23 toward the outside of the tool holder 1 to switch the tool holder from the first state to the second state, and the user can press the driving member 23 toward the inside of the tool holder 1 to switch the tool holder from the second state to the first state.

[0120] In a specific embodiment, Figure 10 As shown, the adjustment assembly 2 is provided with at least one groove, which extends through the adjustment assembly 2 along the second direction Y and is spaced apart from the receiving portion 21 along the first direction X. A sharpening element 221 is mounted on the adjustment assembly 2, with at least a portion of the sharpening element 221 located within the groove. In one embodiment, a portion of the sharpening element 221 is located within the groove, while a portion is embedded in the adjustment assembly 2. In another embodiment, the sharpening element 221 is entirely located within the groove and secured to the sidewalls of the groove.

[0121] In this embodiment, the groove and the sharpening element 221, at least partially located within the groove, form the aforementioned sharpening portion 22. When the tool holder is in the second state, the sharpening portion 22 communicates with the tool insertion slot 12. During insertion or removal of the tool 4 into or out of the tool insertion slot 12, the sharpening element 221 within the sharpening portion 22 contacts the blade, generating relative motion. This sharpening element 221 can then sharpen the tool 4, providing the tool holder with a sharpening function and enhancing its versatility. This sharpening portion 22 has the advantage of being simple in structure.

[0122] At the same time, the accommodating portion 21 can also be a groove for accommodating the sharpening element 221 mentioned above, that is, the accommodating portion 21 can also be a groove that passes through the adjustment component 2 along the second direction Y, and the groove of the accommodating portion 21 and the groove of the sharpening portion 22 can be structures of the same size, thereby simplifying the structure of the adjustment component 2.

[0123] In addition, in a possible embodiment, the groove of the sharpening portion 22 and the groove of the accommodating portion 21 have the same length as the knife insertion groove 12 along the first direction X. When the knife holder 1 is in the first state or the second state, the knife insertion groove 12 and the sharpening portion 22 or the accommodating portion 21 can be aligned along the second direction Y, that is, the side wall of the knife insertion groove 12 and the side wall of the sharpening portion 22 can be aligned along the second direction Y, or the side wall of the knife insertion groove 12 and the side wall of the accommodating portion 21 can be aligned along the second direction Y, so as to improve the accuracy of the knife holder in the first state or the second state. At the same time, if the user accidentally touches the knife holder and causes it to fall, the tool 4 can be prevented from being squeezed by the side wall of the knife insertion groove 12 and the side wall of the sharpening portion 22 that are not aligned along the second direction Y, or the tool 4 can be prevented from being squeezed by the side wall of the knife insertion groove 12 and the side wall of the accommodating portion 21 that are not aligned along the second direction Y, thereby reducing the risk of deformation of the tool 4 due to the above-mentioned squeezing, and improving the reliability and safety of the knife holder for storing the tool 4.

[0124] In one possible implementation, Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the adjustment assembly 2 may include a first body 24 and a bottom cover 25. The first body 24 is provided with a receiving groove 26 that communicates with the groove. Specifically, the sharpening portion 22 communicates with the receiving groove 26. The sharpening element 221 is mounted in the receiving groove 26 and extends into the groove, allowing the sharpening element 221 to contact the cutting tool 4 located within the sharpening portion 22, thereby enabling the sharpening portion 22 to sharpen the cutting tool 4. Simultaneously, the bottom cover 25 is connected to the first body 24 and blocks the receiving groove 26, reducing the risk of the sharpening element 221 escaping from the receiving groove 26 and improving the reliability of the sharpening element 221 installed in the adjustment assembly 2. The first body 24 and the bottom cover 25 may be detachably connected, allowing the bottom cover 25 to be removed from the first body 24, and thus the sharpening element 221 to be removed from the first body 24, facilitating replacement of the sharpening element 221.

[0125] In one possible implementation, Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown, the receiving groove 26 includes a first receiving groove 261 and a second receiving groove 262, which are respectively located on either side of the groove and communicate with the groove. The first receiving groove 261 and the second receiving groove 262 are arranged in a cross-V-shaped structure. The sharpening element 221 includes a first sharpening unit 221a and a second sharpening unit 221b arranged crosswise. The first sharpening unit 221a is partially located in the first receiving groove 261 and partially located in the second receiving groove 262. The second sharpening unit 221b is partially located in the first receiving groove 261 and partially located in the second receiving groove 262, so that the intersection of the first sharpening unit 221a and the second sharpening unit 221b is located in the groove.

[0126] Specifically, the first sharpening units 221a and the second sharpening units 221b can be columnar whetstones or other components with a grinding function, and are arranged crosswise (i.e., in an X-shaped arrangement), that is, the first sharpening units 221a and the second sharpening units 221b form two V-shaped structures. The first receiving groove 261 and the second receiving groove 262 are V-shaped and distributed along the second direction Y on both sides of the groove, and can adapt to the structure formed by the first sharpening units 221a and the second sharpening units 221b. The first section 261a of the first receiving groove 261 and the third section 262a of the second receiving groove 262 extend in the same direction and are connected, so that the first sharpening unit 221a can be installed in the first and third sections 261a and 262a. The second section 261b of the first receiving groove 261 and the fourth section 262b of the second receiving groove 262 extend in the same direction and are connected, so that the second and fourth sections 261b can be installed in the second sharpening unit 221b. The intersection of the first and second sharpening units 221a and 221b can be located within the groove, and the intersection provides a sharpening space. The sharpening space facilitates the accommodation of the tool 4 and allows the sharpening element 221 to contact the tool 4, so that the tool 4 is sharpened during insertion and withdrawal, thereby enabling the sharpening portion 22 to have a sharpening function.

[0127] In the above embodiments, Figure 2 、 Figure 13 and Figure 14 As shown, the tool holder may further include a limiting assembly 3, which is mounted on the tool base 1. The limiting assembly 3 can cooperate with the adjusting assembly 2 to limit the tool holder to the first state or the second state.

[0128] In this embodiment, when the adjustment assembly 2 moves to the first position along the first direction X, the limit assembly 3 can abut against the adjustment assembly 2, thereby limiting the adjustment assembly 2 from further movement in the first direction X. At this time, the limit assembly 3 can confine the tool holder to the first state. When the adjustment assembly 2 moves to the second position along the first direction X, the limit assembly 3 can abut against the adjustment assembly 2, thereby limiting the adjustment assembly 2 from further movement in the first direction X. At this time, the limit assembly 3 can confine the tool holder to the second state. This limit assembly 3 can reduce the risk of the tool holder failing to maintain the first or second state after the adjustment assembly 2 moves in the first direction X due to a user accidentally touching the drive member 23, thereby improving the stability of the tool holder in the first or second state, thereby reducing the risk of the tool holder 4 in the tool slot 12 being deformed or damaged due to a user accidentally touching the drive member 23.

[0129] In a specific embodiment, Figure 15 As shown, the limiting assembly 3 may include a limiting member 31 and an elastic member 32, one end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the limiting member 31, and the other end is connected to the knife seat 1. Figure 10 As shown, the adjustment component 2 is provided with at least a first matching hole 241 and a second matching hole 242 spaced apart along the first direction X, and the limiting member 31 extends into the first matching hole 241 to place the tool holder in the first state, or the limiting member 31 can extend into the second matching hole 242 to place the tool holder in the second state.

[0130] When the knife holder needs to be switched from the first state to the second state, that is, from the non-sharpening position to the sharpening position, the user operates the driving member 23 to move the sharpening portion 22 of the adjusting assembly 2 toward the knife inserting slot 12, and then the limiting member 31 that cooperates with the first matching hole 241 is subjected to the lateral force generated when the adjusting assembly 2 moves along the second direction Y away from the adjusting assembly 2, and the elastic member 32 connected to the limiting member 31 is compressed, so that the limiting member 31 is retracted to the outside of the first matching hole 241, and the adjusting assembly 2 continues to move along the first direction X until the sharpening portion 22 is connected to the knife inserting slot along the second direction Y. Then, the limiting member 31 moves along the second direction Y toward the adjusting assembly 2 under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member 32, and then the limiting member 31 extends into the second matching hole 242, that is, Figure 14 The limiting assembly 3 shown here limits the tool holder to the second state.

[0131] When the knife holder needs to be switched from the second state to the first state, that is, from the sharpening position to the non-sharpening position, the user operates the driving member 23 to move the accommodating portion 21 of the adjusting component 2 toward the knife inserting slot 12, and then the limiting member 31 that cooperates with the second matching hole 242 is moved away from the adjusting component 2 along the second direction Y by the lateral force generated when the adjusting component 2 moves, and the elastic member 32 connected to the limiting member 31 is compressed, so that the limiting member 31 is retracted to the outside of the second matching hole 242. The adjusting component 2 continues to move along the first direction X until the accommodating portion 21 is connected to the knife inserting slot along the second direction Y. Then, the limiting member 31 moves toward the adjusting component 2 along the second direction Y under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member 32, and then the limiting member 31 extends into the first matching hole 241, that is, Figure 13 The limiting assembly 3 shown restricts the tool holder to the first state.

[0132] Therefore, the deformation of the elastic member 32 can drive the limiting member 31 to move in the second direction Y, so that when the limiting member 31 is aligned with the first mating hole 241 or the second mating hole 242, it can automatically extend into the first mating hole 241 or the second mating hole 242. The user only needs to operate the driving member 23 to move in the first direction X to achieve the engagement of the limiting member 31 with the first mating hole 241 or the second mating hole 242, thereby restricting the tool holder to the first state or the second state, simplifying the user's operation steps and further improving the user experience. At the same time, the simple structure of the limiting assembly 3 facilitates production and installation, which helps reduce the production cost of the tool holder.

[0133] Among them, a recessed portion can be provided on the end surface along the second direction Y, and the first matching hole 241 and the second matching hole 242 are provided in the recessed portion. The first matching hole 241 and the second matching hole 242 are connected via an abutting section 243, and the abutting section 243 can be the bottom wall of the recessed portion.

[0134] In a possible implementation, the first matching hole 241 and the second matching hole 242 may also be groove structures that are recessed toward the interior of the adjustment assembly 2 relative to the bottom wall of the recessed portion.

[0135] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 15 As shown, the limiting assembly 3 may further include a mounting seat 33 mounted on the knife holder 1, the mounting seat 33 having an accommodating cavity 331, the elastic member 32 being located in the accommodating cavity 331, and at least a portion of the structure of the limiting member 31 being able to extend or retract into the accommodating cavity 331, that is, the limiting member 31 being able to move along the second direction Y in the accommodating cavity 331. The entire structure of the limiting member 31 may extend out of the accommodating cavity 331, or a portion of the structure of the limiting member 31 may extend out of the accommodating cavity 331 (e.g., Figure 15As shown). In this embodiment, one end of the elastic member 32 is connected to the limit member 31, and the other end is connected to the mounting seat 33, so that the limit member 31 and the elastic member 32 can be installed on the tool holder 1 via the mounting seat 33. Therefore, the mounting seat 33 in this embodiment can conveniently realize the connection between the elastic member 32, the limit member 31 and the tool holder 1, making the deformation direction of the elastic member 32 more precise, thereby improving the accuracy of the movement of the limit member 31 along the second direction Y, enabling the limit member 31 to cooperate with the first matching hole 241 or the second matching hole 242, thereby improving the reliability of the limit assembly 3 in limiting the tool holder to the first state or the second state. At the same time, the mounting seat 33 can also protect the elastic member 32 and the limit member 31, which is conducive to increasing the service life of the limit assembly 3.

[0136] The limiting member 31 is at the same height as the first matching hole 241 and the second matching hole 242 along the third direction Z, thereby achieving the matching between the limiting member 31 and the first matching hole 241 or the second matching hole 242 .

[0137] Specifically, in a possible implementation, as Figure 2 and Figure 15 As shown, the tool holder 1 has a mounting hole 141 connected to the mounting groove 11, and the mounting seat 33 can be detachably mounted on the tool holder 1 through the mounting hole 141, so that the limiting component 3 can be removed from the tool holder 1, releasing the limit on the adjustment component 2, and allowing the adjustment component 2 to be removed through the above-mentioned second opening 181, which is convenient for users to clean and replace, further reducing the user's replacement cost and meeting the user's actual usage needs.

[0138] Among them, such as Figure 2 and Figure 15 As shown, the limiting assembly 3 can be threadedly connected to the tool holder 1. The tool holder 1 has a third side wall 14 along the second direction Y. The third side wall 14 is provided with a mounting hole 141. The mounting hole 141 is provided with an internal thread. The outer wall of the mounting seat 33 can be provided with an external thread so that the limiting assembly 3 can be detachably connected to the tool holder 1.

[0139] like Figure 15 As shown, the mounting seat 33 has a first opening along the second direction Y, and the first opening faces the adjustment assembly 2. A portion of the position-limiting member 31 can extend through the first opening to engage with the first mating hole 241 or the second mating hole 242. The position-limiting member 31 is connected to an extension portion 311 extending radially of the position-limiting member 31. The extension portion 311 is located within the accommodating cavity 331. When the position-limiting member 31 engages with the first mating hole 241 or the second mating hole 242, the extension portion 311 can abut against the inner wall of the mounting seat 33, limiting the risk of the position-limiting member 31 continuing to move in the second direction Y under the action of the rebound force of the elastic member 32, thereby limiting the risk of the position-limiting member 31 escaping from the accommodating cavity 331 and improving the reliability of the tool holder when switching between the two states.

[0140] The end surface of the limiting member 31 for matching with the first matching hole 241 or the second matching hole 242 may be arc-shaped, thereby reducing wear of the limiting member 31 when moving along the abutting section 243 .

[0141] In one possible implementation, Figure 5 As shown, the knife holder can also be provided with a support portion 16, which can increase the contact area of ​​the knife holder when it is placed, and improve the stability of the placement of the knife holder. At the same time, since the knife seat 1 is an inclined structure, the support portion 16 is provided on the side of the knife seat 1 close to the blade, which can reduce the risk of the knife seat 1 tipping over due to accidental touch by the user, and further improve the stability of the placement of the knife holder.

Any changes or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in the embodiments of the present application shall be included in the scope of protection of the embodiments of the present application.
