Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to a manual knife, in particular to a folding knife whose blade can be extended for use in a folded storage state. Background Art

[0002] The existing folding knife can only achieve the cutting function when the blade assembly is unfolded. However, when it is inconvenient to unfold the blade assembly while holding the folding knife with one hand, it is difficult for the existing folding knife to achieve the cutting function. When performing some simple cutting, it is cumbersome to unfold the blade assembly. Utility Model Content

[0003] The technical problem to be solved and the technical task proposed by the utility model are to overcome the defect that the existing folding knife can only realize the cutting function when the knife head assembly is unfolded, and to provide a folding knife in which the blade can be extended for use in a folded storage state.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the folding knife of the utility model is characterized by comprising:

[0005] A handle having a receiving cavity, wherein a rear end of the receiving cavity is open;

[0006] The cutter head assembly is pivotally mounted at the front of the handle so as to be folded into or unfolded from the accommodating cavity. The cutter head assembly includes a cutter holder and a blade movably arranged on the cutter holder. When the cutter head assembly is folded into the accommodating cavity, the blade can be located in the accommodating cavity and stored, or extend from the accommodating cavity through the opening of the handle for use.

[0007] The folding knife is provided with an opening at the rear end of the accommodating cavity, so that when the blade assembly is folded into the accommodating cavity, the blade can be located in the accommodating cavity and stored, or extend out of the accommodating cavity through the opening for use. When it is inconvenient to unfold the blade assembly while holding the folding knife with one hand, the blade can be extended out of the handle for cutting. When performing some simple cutting, cutting can be performed without unfolding the blade assembly.

[0008] Preferably, in order to avoid the safety hazard caused by the blade accidentally extending out of the handle due to the existence of the opening, a movable shielding member movable between a shielding position and a evasion position is arranged at the opening. When the movable shielding member is in the shielding position, the blade is prevented from extending out of the handle from the accommodating cavity through the opening. When the movable shielding member is in the evasion position, the blade is allowed to extend out of the handle from the accommodating cavity through the opening. Accordingly, the blade can be shielded or the blade can be allowed to extend out of the handle from the accommodating cavity through the opening by changing the position of the movable shielding member.

[0009] Furthermore, the movable shielding member and the handle are provided with matching positioning structures, and the movable shielding member is positioned by the positioning structures when it is in the shielding position and the avoidance position, so as to prevent the movable shielding member from accidentally changing position.

[0010] Specifically, the positioning structure includes a positioning pit and a positioning protrusion which are separately arranged on the movable shielding member and the handle, and the positioning protrusion is located in the positioning pit to achieve positioning.

[0011] In particular, for the convenience of operation, the movable shielding member is assembled on the handle through the shaft rotation, so that the movable shielding member can be manually moved to change position.

[0012] Preferably, the blade holder comprises an outer frame, an inner frame and a control member, wherein the inner frame is slidably arranged in the outer frame, the control member is connected to the inner frame and exposed outside the outer frame so as to be controlled to move the inner frame, and the blade is mounted on the inner frame. Accordingly, the inner frame can be moved as required by controlling the control member.

[0013] Preferably, the outer frame has a plurality of positioning slots distributed in the front-to-back direction, and the control member is positioned in the positioning slots to fix the position of the blade, thereby the blade can be positioned at different positions to meet the cutting requirements.

[0014] In particular, a first elastic element is disposed between the inner frame and the operating member, and the elastic force of the first elastic element causes the operating member to be positioned in the corresponding positioning groove, thereby preventing the blade from being misplaced during cutting.

[0015] In order to facilitate the replacement of the blade, the inner frame is equipped with a lock, and the blade is locked on the inner frame by the lock. The outer frame is equipped with an unlocking member, and when the inner frame moves forward to the lock corresponding to the unlocking member, the unlocking member unlocks the lock.

[0016] In order to reliably lock the blade on the inner frame, the lock is swingably assembled on the inner frame, and a magnet is arranged on the inner frame. The blade and the lock are adsorbed by the magnet and abut against the inner frame, and the unlocking member is arranged to unlock the lock by side pressing.

[0017] The utility model provides an opening at the rear end of the accommodating cavity, so that when the cutter head assembly is folded into the accommodating cavity, the blade can be located in the accommodating cavity and stored, or extend the handle from the accommodating cavity through the opening for use. When it is inconvenient to unfold the cutter head assembly while holding the folding knife with one hand, the blade can be extended out of the handle for cutting. When performing some simple cutting, cutting can be performed without unfolding the cutter head assembly. Accordingly, the flexibility of using the folding knife is increased.

A movable shielding member 105 is disposed at the opening 104. The movable shielding member 105 is rotatably assembled on the first handle body 101 and the second handle body 102 via an axis 108. The movable shielding member 105 can thereby rotate and move between a shielding position and an avoidance position. The movable shielding member 105 is as shown in FIG. Figure 11-12When the blade 320 is in the blocking position as shown, it is prevented from extending out of the handle 100 from the receiving cavity through the opening 104. The movable shielding member 105 is as shown in FIG. Figure 9-10 The illustrated position is the position where the blade 320 extends from the accommodating cavity through the opening 104 and the handle is out of the way. The movable shielding member 105 and the handle 100 are provided with matching positioning structures, which include positioning pits 106 and positioning protrusions 107 respectively provided on the movable shielding member and the handle. When the movable shielding member 105 is in the shielding position and the avoidance position, the positioning protrusion 107 is located in the positioning pit 106 and is positioned.

[0043] In addition, a stop rod 110 is provided on the handle 100, and the stop rod 110 abuts against the tail of the tool holder 310 to lock the tool head assembly in a folded state or an unfolded state to prevent the tool holder from accidentally turning over.

[0044] The cutter head assembly 300 is assembled at the front of the handle 100 via the pivot 200 to be folded into the accommodating cavity or unfolded from the accommodating cavity. The cutter head assembly 300 includes a cutter holder 310 and a blade 320 movably arranged on the cutter holder. The cutter holder 310 includes an outer frame 311, an inner frame 312 and a control member 313. The inner frame 312 is slidably arranged in the outer frame 311, the control member 313 is connected to the inner frame 312 and exposed outside the outer frame 311 to be controlled to move with the inner frame 312, and the blade 320 is assembled on the inner frame 312. Specifically, the inner frame 312 has a slot 3122, and the control member 313 has an insertion rod 3131, and the insertion rod 3131 is inserted in the slot 3122 to realize the connection between the control member and the connection. In order to facilitate assembly, the outer frame 311 includes a first frame body 3111 and a second frame body 3112 that are fastened together, and the first frame body 3111 and the second frame body 3112 form an installation space for the inner frame. The front ends of the first frame and the second frame are provided with slit exits for the blade to extend out of the outer frame or retract into the outer frame. The backs of the first frame 3111 and the second frame 3112 are provided with slits 3113 extending in the front-to-back direction, and the second frame is provided with a plurality of positioning grooves 3114 distributed along the front-to-back direction of the slits. The shoulder 3132 of the control member is located in the positioning groove 3114 to realize the positioning of the inner frame and to fix the position of the blade. A first elastic element 314 is placed between the inner frame 312 and the control member 313, and the elastic force of the first elastic element 314 causes the shoulder 3132 of the control member to be positioned in the corresponding positioning groove.

[0045] The inner frame 312 is provided with a lock 315, and the lock 315 has a tongue 3151 and a force-bearing portion 3152. The back of the blade 320 has a notch 321.
