[0004] The piston shaft lock folding knife can simplify the originally complex and difficult to assemble spring and control structure into a module, so as to simplify the manufacturing and assembly process, shorten the manufacturing time and improve the manufacturing efficiency. However, there are also shortcomings. The structure of the telescopic rod group is still too complicated, and when the telescopic rod group is in the unlocked state, the blade will be expanded or retracted by gravity, which poses certain safety hazards. Summary of the invention

[0005] The invention of the utility model aims to overcome the above-mentioned technical problems and only provides a folding knife with simple structure and good safety.

[0006] The utility model is realized through the following technical solution.

[0007] The utility model provides a folding knife, comprising a knife body and a handle body, wherein the rear end of the knife body is pivotally connected to the front end of the handle body, and the handle body is provided with a storage groove for storing the knife body, wherein the handle body comprises a first handle body and a second handle body, wherein the front end of the first handle body is pivotally connected to the center position of the rear end of the knife body through a first connecting nail, and the front end of the second handle body is pivotally connected to the position of the rear end of the knife body close to the rear edge through a second connecting nail, and the rear end of the first handle body is connected to the rear end of the second handle body through a connecting rod, one end of the connecting rod is pivotally connected to the rear end of the first handle body through a third connecting nail, and the other end of the connecting rod is pivotally connected to the rear end of the second handle body through a fourth connecting nail, and when the first handle body is translated relative to the second handle body, the knife body can rotate relative to the handle body between a first position folded in the storage groove and a second position fully extended.

[0008] In the above technical solution, the deployment and folding of the blade body is achieved by operating the first handle body to move forward and backward relative to the second handle body. The deployment and folding of the blade body will not be affected by gravity and has high safety. When the blade body is located at the first position and the second position and the user's hand grasps the handle body, the first handle body and the second handle body cannot move relative to each other. At this time, the blade body cannot be folded or deployed, and the setting of the locking mechanism can be omitted, and the structure is simpler.

[0009] Preferably, the first handle body includes a first handle piece, the front end and the rear end of the first handle piece are each provided with an assembly hole, the number of the first handle pieces is two, the two first handle pieces are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the blade body and the connecting rod, and the first handle piece is respectively connected to the first connecting nail and the third connecting nail through the two assembly holes. In this technical solution, by symmetrically arranging two identical first handle pieces on both sides of the blade body and the connecting rod, and then connecting and fixing them through the first connecting nail and the third connecting nail, the overall structure of the first handle body is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the assembly is also very convenient.

[0010] Preferably, the second handle body includes a second handle piece, the number of the second handle pieces is two, the two second handle pieces are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the blade body and the connecting rod, and the second handle piece is respectively connected to the second connecting nail and the fourth connecting nail through two assembly holes. In this technical solution, by symmetrically arranging two identical second handle pieces on both sides of the blade body and the connecting rod, and then connecting and fixing them through the second connecting nail and the fourth connecting nail, the overall structure of the second handle body is simple, the manufacturing cost is low, and the assembly is also very convenient.

[0011] Preferably, the inner sides of the first handle piece and the second handle piece are both configured to be a wave structure, the wave structure includes a crest and a trough, the shape of the crest matches the shape of the trough, and the height of the crest is the same as the depth of the trough, and the crest and trough of the first handle piece are configured to respectively match the trough and crest of the second handle piece when the knife body is in the first position and the second position. In the technical solution, by matching the crest of the first handle piece with the trough of the second handle piece, and the trough of the first handle piece with the crest of the second handle piece, when the knife body is in the first position and the second position, the area of ​​the first handle body and the second handle body fitting is larger, the fitting surface of the first handle body and the fitting surface of the second handle body cooperate with each other to better limit the mutual displacement of the first handle body and the second handle body, and the user will not feel that the handle body is loose and shaking when grasping the handle body, and at the same time, when the knife body is operated for cutting, when the reaction force on the knife body acts on the handle body, it will not push the first handle body and the second handle body to move, thereby improving safety.

[0012] Preferably, the shape and size of the second handle piece are the same as those of the first handle piece. In this technical solution, the second handle body piece adopts the same structure as the first handle piece, which can further simplify the production process. The first handle body and the second handle body can be assembled with a handle piece of one specification, which reduces the manufacturing cost.

[0013] Preferably, a first pivot hole is provided at the center position of the rear end of the knife body and at the position of the rear end near the rear edge. The knife body is pivoted to the first connecting nail and the second connecting nail respectively through the two first pivot holes. The side surface of the knife body is provided with a sink groove which is concentric with and connected to the first pivot hole at the periphery of the first pivot hole, and a ball turntable is provided in the sink groove. In this technical solution, by providing the ball turntable, the surface of the knife body does not directly contact the inner side surface of the handle sheet, but contacts through the ball, which can reduce friction, make the knife body rotate more smoothly, and the inner side surface of the handle sheet will not scratch the surface of the knife body.

[0014] Preferably, a second pivot hole is provided at each end of the connecting rod, and the connecting rod is pivotally connected to the third connecting nail and the fourth connecting nail through the two second pivot holes, respectively. A side surface of the connecting rod is provided with a sink groove which is concentric with and connected to the second pivot hole at the periphery of the second pivot hole, and a ball rotating disk is provided in the sink groove. In this technical solution, by providing the ball rotating disk, the surface of the connecting rod does not directly contact the inner side surface of the handle piece, and the friction force can be reduced by the contact of the ball, so that the first handle body and the second handle body can rotate more smoothly relative to the connecting rod.

[0015] Preferably, the axial core distance between the first connecting pin and the second connecting pin is set to be the same as the axial core distance between the third connecting pin and the fourth connecting pin. In this technical solution, through the above setting, the first handle body can always maintain a relatively parallel state when it translates relative to the second handle body, which is conducive to the expansion and folding of the blade body.

[0016] Preferably, the height of the crest and the depth of the trough are set to be equal to or less than half of the distance between the axial cores of the first connecting pin and the second connecting pin. In the present technical solution, through the above settings, not only can the crest of the first handle piece and the trough of the second handle piece, as well as the trough of the first handle piece and the crest of the second handle piece be closely matched, but also the first handle body can be smoothly translated relative to the second handle body, avoiding being blocked by the crest of the first handle piece and the crest of the second handle piece during translation and being unable to translate smoothly.

[0017] Preferably, the rear end of the knife body is provided with a toggle portion at the same side as the knife body cutting edge, and the toggle portion is arranged to be exposed outside the storage slot when the knife body is in the first position and the second position. In the technical scheme, by providing the toggle portion, when the knife body is in the first position, the toggle portion can be pushed by a finger to rotate the knife body to a certain angle, and then the first handle body and the second handle body can be grasped by fingers to continue to drive the first handle body and the second handle body to translate relative to each other, so that the knife body can be fully unfolded. In this way, when the first handle body and the second handle body are directly grasped and translated at the beginning, the fingers will block the unfolding of the knife body, and the trouble of releasing the fingers grasping the first handle body to avoid the knife body and then grasping the first handle body again to drive the translation can be avoided. At the same time, after the knife body is rotated and opened to a certain angle by pushing the toggle portion, the first handle and the second handle can be grasped by fingers to operate the translation, so that the fingers can be prevented from touching the cutting edge of the knife body, and the safety is also higher.

[0018] The advantage of the utility model is that when the user grasps the handle body, the blade body cannot be expanded or retracted relative to the handle body, and there is no need to set up a locking mechanism separately, so the structure is simpler and more practical; the expansion and retraction of the blade body is restricted by the relative translation of the first handle body and the second handle body, and the speed of expansion and retraction of the blade body is relatively slow, and there will be no sudden and rapid opening, so the safety is better.
