Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of hand tools, in particular to the technical field of hand tools for gardening and kitchen applications, and specifically is a leaf and thorn separation device for separating leaves and thorns on plant stems from the stems. Background Art

[0002] In daily life, whether for decorative or culinary purposes, tools are needed to quickly separate leaves and thorns from the stems of plants, including vegetables, flowers, etc. For example, when preparing certain specific ingredients, sometimes only leaves or stems are needed, such as wolfberry leaves, parsley, etc. In addition, some flowers (such as roses) also need to be removed from the thorns and leaves before being sold for safety and aesthetic reasons.

[0003] In the past, when performing this type of leaf thorn separation operation, a stapler-type or stem-leaf separation tool with a peeling hole is usually used. However, during use, it is found that because the stapler-type separator requires the fingers to use a large force to control the clamping, the peeling hole is prone to open and affect the leaf thorn separation effect. On the contrary, if the force is too great, it is also easy to damage the epidermis of the stem, resulting in a reduction in the ornamental period and shelf life of flowers. In addition, if the operation time is long, the fingers are also prone to fatigue. In addition, during the leaf thorn separation operation, the hands are prone to contact with the thorny leaves, which may cause harm to the user. In addition, separation tools with different peeling holes require the stems to be inserted into holes of different sizes, which is less efficient.

[0004] On the other hand, the current handheld leaf thorn separation device is usually hollow cylindrical, the blade for removing leaf thorns is usually set inside the shell, and the size of the leaf thorn removal through hole is usually fixed. However, this device usually has the following problems: it cannot handle plants with short stems; it is difficult to confirm the clamping position and clamping state of the plant to be processed; the separation operation is mostly based on the user's proficiency, which is not easy to use; it is difficult to clean the inside of the device after the operation is completed, etc. Utility Model Content

[0022] The technical solution of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, the leaf thorn separation device 100 of the utility model is used to separate leaves and thorns on plant stems, and the leaf thorn separation device 100 includes a gripping member 20 and a blade 30. The gripping member 20 is formed in a hollow cylindrical shape with one end being arranged in an inclined structure, and the blade 30 is installed at one end of the gripping member 20 for separating thorns and leaves on plant stems.

[0024] The gripping member 20 includes a first gripping plate 21 and a second gripping plate 22 that are rotatably connected, and are used for the user to grip. One side of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 are connected by a rotating shaft 9 and can rotate with each other, and the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 can form a receiving space for receiving the stem part of the plant. When the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 are in a closed state, on a plane perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 9, the projections of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 are semicircular rings, and form a hollow circle with openings at both ends.

[0025] Specifically, the structures of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 are substantially the same and symmetrically arranged, forming a hollow cylinder with one end arranged in an inclined structure. The first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 respectively include an upper end 201 arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 9, and a lower end 203 arranged in an inclined structure. In this embodiment, the cross-section of the upper end 201 is semi-circular, and the lower end 203 includes an arc parallel to the upper end 201 and starting from the rotational connection side of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 with a length of approximately 1 / 10 of the circular ring, and a portion formed in an inclined step-like manner from the arc to the other side of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 (refer to Figure 1 to Figure 3 ). By such arrangement, when the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 are in a closed state, the above-mentioned other side of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 near the upper end 201 abut against each other, and the rest of the parts are in an open state. Thus, the leaf (thorn) separation operation can be performed on plants with shorter stems without affecting the user's grip, and during the operation, the user can easily observe and confirm the clamping position and state of the plant stems.

[0026] In addition, the structure of the above-mentioned lower end portion 203 is not limited to this, as long as it can ensure the universality of the length of the stems of the plants to be processed without affecting the user's grip, and the user can easily confirm the clamping position and state of the plant stems. For example, the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 can also be in the form of an inclined cylinder with one end being obliquely truncated when in a closed state.

[0027] In addition, in this embodiment, a hole 24 is formed through the lower end 213 of the second gripping plate 22. The user can pass a rope such as a lanyard through the hole 24, so that when using the blade thorn separation device 100 of the utility model, the lanyard can be put on the wrist to prevent the gripping member 20 from falling from the hand. When not in use, the blade thorn separation device 100 can be hung in a suitable place. The location of the hole 24 is not limited to this, for example, the hole 24 can also be set on the first gripping plate 21.

[0028] In addition, the upper ends 201 of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 are respectively recessed to form a main installation groove 25. In other words, the main installation groove 25 is recessed downward along the upper ends 201 of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 for installing the blade 30. In addition, on the upper ends 201 of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22, a positioning groove 27 is recessed near the main installation groove 25, which is used to engage and position the blade 30 to prevent the blade 30 from shaking left and right in the main installation groove 25 after the blade 30 is installed in the main installation groove 25.

[0029] Preferably, the first gripping plate 21, the second gripping plate 22 and the blade 30 are made of a metal material that is lightweight and highly corrosion-resistant.

[0030] In this embodiment, the positioning groove 27 is disposed on the inner side of the first holding plate 21 and the second holding plate 22 , but the present invention is not limited thereto. The positioning groove 27 may also be disposed through the first holding plate 21 and the second holding plate 22 in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the rotating shaft 9 .

[0031] Further, the blade 30 includes a first blade 31 and a second blade 32, and the first blade 31 and the second blade 32 are respectively installed on the upper end 201 of the first holding plate 21 and the second holding plate 22 through the main installation groove 25 in a manner that at least a portion of them can be closely overlapped in the direction of the axial center line of the rotating shaft 9. In addition, the first blade 31 and the second blade 32 have the same shape and are symmetrically arranged. The first blade 31 (the second blade 32) includes an integrally formed cutting portion 33 and a baffle portion 35 extending from one end of the cutting portion 33. A V-shaped recess 331 is formed at one end of the cutting portion 33 away from the baffle portion 35, and a blade portion 333 is provided at the bottom of the recess 331. However, the shape of the recess 331 is not limited thereto, and can also be other shapes. The two opposite side walls of the cutting portion 33 can be closely connected with the holding plate, and protrusions 335 are respectively provided. In addition, the connection between the cutting portion 33 and the baffle portion 35 is recessed to form an auxiliary installation groove 351. In addition, a recess 337 is formed at the connection between the outer edge of the recess 331 and the two side walls to avoid the rotating shaft 9 .

[0032] When the first blade 31 is mounted on the first holding plate 21, the auxiliary mounting groove 351 is used to engage the first blade 31 in the main mounting groove 25, and the protrusion 335 of the first blade 31 is engaged in the positioning groove 27. In this way, the blade 30 is fixed on the holding member 20. In addition, in another embodiment, after the blade 30 is fixed, the contact portion between the blade 30 and the holding member 20 can be bonded so that the blade 30 is more firmly fixed to the holding member 20. In addition, in another embodiment, the above-mentioned contact portion can also be welded so that the blade 30 and the holding member 20 are integrally formed. In addition, the method of fixing the blade 30 to the holding member 20 is not limited to this, as long as the leaf thorn separation operation can be performed stably.

[0033] In addition, since the first blade 31 is stacked on the second blade 32 in the axial direction of the rotating shaft 9, it can be foreseen that the depth of the main mounting groove 25 and the positioning groove 27 on the first holding plate 21 on which the first blade 31 is installed is equal to the thickness of the first blade 31, and the depth of the main mounting groove 25 and the positioning groove 27 of the second holding plate 22 on which the second blade 32 is installed is equal to the sum of the thicknesses of the first blade 31 and the second blade 32.

[0034] In addition, in the present embodiment, the first blade 31 (the second blade 32) forms the V-shaped recessed portion 331, but the present invention is not limited thereto and may be a recessed portion of another shape.

[0035] Furthermore, the first blade 31 and the second blade 32 have a first state (operating state) and a second state (opening state) by the rotation of the first holding plate 21 and the second holding plate 22. When in the first state, the first blade 31 and the second blade 32 form a closed clamping space S for the stem of the plant to pass through in an embracing manner through the above-mentioned recess 331 and the blade edge 333. The size of the clamping space S can be different according to the diameter of the stem of the plant to be processed. In addition, as Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 1 , when the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 are in the closed state, the first blade 31 and the second blade 32 form a clamping space S with a minimum specified gap to prevent the stem of the plant from being clamped off. The specified gap is, for example, 3 mm. When in the second state, the concave portion 331 and the blade edge portion 333 of the first blade 31 and the second blade 32 form an open space with one side open for the user to put in or take out the plant (see FIG. 1 ). Figure 3 ).

[0036] Furthermore, a spring 7 is embedded on the rotating shaft 9 for rotational connection, and both ends of the spring 7 are respectively abutted against the inner sides of the first holding plate 21 and the second holding plate 22 to apply a force to the first holding plate 21 and the second holding plate 22 to restore them to an open state. More specifically, a force is applied to the first blade 31 and the second blade 32 to restore them to the second state, so that the user can easily put in or take out the plant, and the user can more easily control the size of the clamping space S, so that the gap of the clamping space S is slightly larger than the diameter of the stem of the plant to be processed, thereby not easily damaging the epidermis of the stem during the leaf thorn separation operation.

[0037] The gripping member 20 further includes an anti-slip member 50 respectively disposed on the outer sides of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22. In the present embodiment, the anti-slip member 50 is respectively disposed in a chimeric manner in the middle of the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 and close to the upper end 201 for easy gripping by the user. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the anti-slip member 50 may also be integrally formed with the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22, respectively, as long as the anti-slip member 50 is difficult to fall off from the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22.

[0038] In addition, in this embodiment, a plurality of protrusions 51 in the shape of long strips protruding outward are provided on the anti-slip member 50. The plurality of protrusions 51 are extended in parallel with the axis direction of the rotating shaft 9. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as long as the comfort during holding is ensured and the friction during holding is increased, for example, protrusions in the shape of dots or other shapes may also be provided on the anti-slip member 50.

[0039] The utility model adopts a design mode of rotational connection of two holding plates, so that when a user performs leaf thorn separation operation on a plant, the holding member can be held by one hand. In addition, by providing an anti-slip member 50, the friction force during holding is further increased.

[0040] Furthermore, the user can put the stem of the plant to be processed into the blade, and gently close the gripping member 20 with the palm. When the blade is about to touch the stem of the plant to be processed, the separation device is pulled axially, or the plant to be processed is pulled axially by the other hand, or both hands are pulled in the opposite direction at the same time, thereby, the leaves and thorns can be easily separated from the stem. Therefore, by setting the gripping member in this way, during operation, the full force of the user's palm can be used on the gripping member, that is, the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 can be gripped without too much effort. At the same time, through the spring 7, the user does not need to perform additional actions, and the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 can be opened by loosening the palm, waiting for the next separation operation. Thus, the entire operation process is extremely convenient and labor-saving. Moreover, when performing the leaf-thorn separation operation, the separated leaves and thorns are easily dropped from the bottom end of the gripping member due to the shielding of the inner side wall of the gripping member, and the hand will not touch it, so it is also safer for the user. Furthermore, by providing the anti-slip member 50 , the thorn separation device 100 can be prevented from falling from the user's hand, whether the thorn separation operation is performed on the plant or the gripping member 20 is opened.

[0041] On the other hand, the first gripping plate 21 and the second gripping plate 22 together form an inclined cylindrical gripping member with openings at both ends, so that it can be applied to plants with shorter stems without affecting the user's grip. In addition, for example, when the flowers are pulled axially, the epidermis of the stems may be damaged, thereby shortening the fresh-keeping time of the flowers. In the utility model, by arranging the gripping member as above and arranging the blade at the top of the gripping member, the user can observe the clamping position and state of the plant stems in real time during the operation, so as to avoid pulling the epidermis of the plant stems as much as possible. In addition, after the operation is completed, it is also easy to clean the blade and the inside of the gripping member.

[0042] In addition, the utility model adopts an embracing design of two blades, which can make it easier to separate leaves and thorns during operation, improve the efficiency of leaf and thorn separation, and is generally applicable to various plants including vegetables and flowers with different stem diameters. In addition, by setting the blade to have a baffle portion protruding from the gripping member, it can block the user's fingers during use, so that they can be better stressed, and can also prevent the fingers from moving onto the blade and touching the plants to be processed, causing the fingers to be dirty or injured, further improving the use effect of the utility model.

[0043] All aspects of the embodiments disclosed herein are illustrative and cannot be interpreted as limiting. Therefore, the technical scope of the present utility model is not only explained by the above-mentioned embodiments, but is limited based on the records of the claims. In addition, all changes within the meaning and scope equivalent to the claims are included.
