Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen utensils, in particular to a knife holder with a knife locking function. Background Technique
[0002] In the kitchen, as an indispensable tool in daily cooking, the safety of knives has always been a concern. Although traditional knife holders can place knives, in some cases, such as accidental touch by children or slipping of knives, potential safety hazards may be brought. Therefore, designing a knife holder that can stably lock knives is of great significance for improving the safety of kitchen use.
[0003] After retrieval, the Chinese utility model patent with the publication number "CN204379089U" discloses a "novel multi-functional kitchen knife box". Through two soft hair blocks in the knife wiping box, the water stains on the kitchen knife can be wiped off, and two sponge blocks in the knife placing box can keep the kitchen knife dry and prevent it from rusting.
[0004] However, when the above device is actually used, it does not provide a stable knife locking function and cannot effectively prevent the slipping or accidental touch of the knife. Content of the Utility Model
[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a knife holder with a knife locking function to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.
[0006] To achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solution: A knife holder with a knife locking function, comprising:
[0007] A lower socket for stably placing on the kitchen cutting board platform;
[0008] An upper sealing sleeve, which is adapted to the lower socket and is used to protect the surface of the knife body of the knife;
[0009] An assembly cover, which is installed at the socket opening on the top of the upper sealing sleeve. A number of notches adapted to the knife are opened on the top of the assembly cover, and the assembly cover is inserted with the knife through the notches;
[0010] A locking component is installed outside the assembly cover;
[0011] The locking component includes:
[0012] A number of electromagnetic lock components, which are respectively installed at the notch positions at the bottom of the assembly cover and are used to limit and protect the knife body of the knife through electromagnetic suction;

[0025] Furthermore, a light source module is installed in the control switch, and the light source module cooperates with the locking mode;
[0026] When the control switch is switched to the normal locking mode, the light source module emits blue light as an indication to prompt the user of the current locking state;
[0027] When the control switch is switched to the strong locking mode, the light source module emits red light as a warning to enhance the locking state, and at the same time reminds the user that the tool has been strongly locked and cannot be easily attempted to be pulled out;
[0028] When the control switch is turned off, the light source module stops operating.
[0029] Furthermore, the inner surface of the upper sealing sleeve is covered with a layer of anti-slip silica gel film, and the anti-slip silica gel film is used to enhance the friction with the tool to ensure that the tool will not slide randomly when placed.

[0031] For the knife holder with a knife locking function, through the electromagnetic lock component arranged on the assembly cover, combined with the electric control terminal and the control switch, the stable locking of the knife is realized, and the safety of kitchen use is improved;
[0032] At the same time, by switching different locking modes through multiple contacts of the control switch, users can select the appropriate locking intensity according to actual needs, which is more flexible and convenient;
[0033] In addition, the light source module in the control switch provides an intuitive locking state prompt for users, enhancing the user experience;
[0034] Finally, the anti-slip silica gel film inside the upper sealing sleeve not only enhances the friction with the knife, but also provides an additional protection function, ensuring the stability of the knife when placed. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0038] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] When the device proposed in this application is actually used, to ensure the service life of the kitchen knife, it is recommended to wipe off the water stains and food residues on the kitchen knife before inserting the kitchen knife into the knife holder. This can not only extend the service life of the kitchen knife, but also keep the knife holder clean and reduce the growth of bacteria. In addition, when this application is actually used, an anti-slip pad can be designed at the bottom of the lower socket 5 to ensure the stability of the knife holder on the kitchen cutting board platform and avoid potential safety hazards caused by sliding.
[0040] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the present utility model discloses a knife holder with a knife locking function, and its technical details include the following key components:
[0041] Among them, there is a lower socket 5, which is designed to ensure stable placement on the kitchen cutting board platform, providing a solid support foundation. There is an upper sealing sleeve 1, which is adapted to the lower socket 5 and is designed to protect the blade surface of the cutting tool from external influences, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the cutting tool. It should be noted that in actual use, the material of the upper sealing sleeve 1 can be transparent plastic or glass, so that users can clearly see the cutting tools placed inside, facilitating access. There is an assembly cover 3, which is installed at the top socket of the upper sealing sleeve 1, and there are several notches on its top that are adapted to the cutting tools. The assembly cover 3 realizes the insertion and placement of the cutting tools through these notches. There is a locking component, which is installed outside the assembly cover 3 and is used to lock the cutting tools.
[0042] Reference Figure 1 It can be known that the locking component includes: several electromagnetic lock components, which are respectively installed at the notch positions at the bottom of the assembly cover 3, and limit and protect the blade of the cutting tool through electromagnetic suction. The electric control terminal 2: provides electrical energy for the electromagnetic lock components to ensure the normal operation of the electromagnetic lock components.
[0043] In addition, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 It can also be known that in this application, a control switch 6 is also provided. The control switch 6 is installed on one side of the lower socket 5 and is electrically connected to the electric control terminal 2, and is used to control the opening and closing of the electromagnetic lock components, and different locking modes can be switched by contacting multiple times.
[0044] It should be added that the specific structure of the electromagnetic lock component includes: an electromagnetic clamping plate 4 and an arc-shaped clamping plate 8: which are respectively installed on both sides of the notch position at the bottom of the assembly cover 3. The top of the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 is fixed to the bottom of the assembly cover 3, and its bottom is an arc-shaped electromagnetic plate that can be bent and deformed. A power supply rod 7: is connected between one side of the top of the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 and the electric control terminal 2 to ensure that the electric control terminal 2 provides electrical energy for the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 through the power supply rod 7, so that its arc-shaped electromagnetic plate generates an adsorption force towards the arc-shaped clamping plate 8.
[0045] It should be further noted that in this application, the control switch 6 is designed as a button type and has dual functions: one is to control the opening and closing of the electromagnetic lock components; the other is to switch the locking mode through continuous contact. Among them, the locking mode is divided into two types: Normal locking mode: After the control switch 6 is continuously contacted twice, the electromagnetic suction generated by the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 is moderate, which can stably adsorb the cutting tool without causing excessive pressure on the cutting tool. Strong locking mode: After the control switch 6 is continuously contacted three times, the electromagnetic suction released by the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 is stronger than that in the normal locking mode, ensuring the tight connection between the cutting tool and the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 8.
[0046] To further improve the convenience of using the control switch 6, a light source module is also installed inside the control switch 6 to provide visual cues in conjunction with the locking mode. In the normal locking mode, the light source module emits blue light; in the strong locking mode, it emits red light as a warning and reminds the user that the knife has been strongly locked and cannot be easily pulled out. When the control switch 6 is turned off, the light source module stops operating.
[0047] In addition, it should be added that the inner surface of the upper seal 1 is covered with an anti-slip silicone film, aiming to enhance the friction with the knife and ensure that the knife does not slide when placed, further guaranteeing the safety of use.
[0048] It should be noted that when inserting the knife into the knife holder, the user first wipes the kitchen knife clean to avoid damage to the knife and the knife holder caused by water stains and food residues. Then, align the knife with the notch at the top of the assembly cover 3 and gently insert it to ensure that the blade of the knife is completely wrapped by the gap between the upper seal 1 and the assembly cover 3. At this time, the user can select the locking mode according to actual needs. Press the control switch 6 once, and the electromagnetic lock component is activated, and the electromagnetic attraction between the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 8 starts to act, initially locking the knife. If the user wishes to further enhance the locking effect, the control switch 6 can be contacted twice continuously to enter the normal locking mode. At this time, the light source module emits blue light, indicating that the knife is in a stable locked state. If the user needs a higher locking strength, the control switch 6 can be contacted three times continuously to enter the strong locking mode. In this mode, the electromagnetic attraction released by the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 is significantly enhanced to ensure the tight connection between the knife and the electromagnetic clamping plate 4 and the arc-shaped clamping plate 8. At the same time, the light source module emits red light as a warning, reminding the user that the knife has been strongly locked and cannot be easily pulled out. After the knife is used up, the user only needs to press the control switch 6 again, the electromagnetic lock component is powered off, and the electromagnetic attraction disappears. The user can easily pull the knife out of the knife holder. At this time, the light source module stops operating, and the knife holder returns to its initial state, waiting for the next use.
[0049] It is worth mentioning that the light source module, the electromagnetic clamping plate 4, and the electronic control terminal 2 mentioned in this device are all very mature products in existing technology devices, and the connection and control between each component are realized through standard electronic interfaces and circuits. Therefore, the applicant will not introduce the working principles of the light source module, the electromagnetic clamping plate 4, and the electronic control terminal 2 in detail.
[0050] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
