Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of wick scissors, and more specifically, to a folding wick scissors. Background Art

[0002] After a candle burns for a long time, the wick will become longer and longer. The length of the wick will affect the effect of aroma diffusion. The best effect is achieved when the wick is maintained at 0.5 - 0.8 centimeters. Therefore, it is necessary to trim the wick to an appropriate length. Moreover, trimming the carbon at the knot of the wick can prevent black smoke from being generated during combustion. When using ordinary scissors, the wick is likely to directly fall on the candle, looking very dirty and being difficult to clean.

[0003] Currently, there is a kind of wick scissors on the market. This kind of scissors has a round head, and the cut wick will fall on the round head of the scissors, so there is no need to worry about polluting the white candle. However, the trimming of the wick needs to be carried out when the candle is in the extinguished state, and the wick scissors can only trim the wick. Before trimming, other tools are needed to extinguish the wick, and the operation is very inconvenient.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , the present utility model provides a technical solution: a folding wick scissors, including two connecting members 1. The two connecting members 1 are arranged front and back and the surfaces on the opposite sides are in contact. Corresponding connecting holes 101 are respectively formed through one side surface of each of the two connecting members 1. An articulated shaft 2 is inserted into the connecting holes 101. The two connecting members 1 are rotatably connected through the articulated shaft 2. One end of each connecting member 1 is fixedly connected with a cutting head 3, and the other end of each connecting member 1 is rotatably connected with one end of an operating rod 4 through a rotating shaft 5.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the two cutting heads 3 are arranged opposite to each other. Each cutting head 3 includes a cutting plate 301, and a cutting edge 302 is arranged on the surface of each cutting plate 301 facing the other cutting plate 301.

[0028] The two cutting plates 301 are on the same horizontal line, and the two cutting edges 302 are arranged opposite to each other. Thus, when driving the two connecting members 1 to rotate synchronously through the two operating rods 4, the opening and closing of the two cutting edges 302 can be controlled to complete the cutting of the wick.

[0029] Furthermore, a surrounding wall 303 is arranged around the upper surface of each cutting plate 301.

[0030] By arranging the surrounding wall 303, the cut wick can be prevented from falling on the candle and burning to produce black smoke.

[0031] Furthermore, a finger sleeve 401 is arranged at the other end of each operating rod 4.

[0032] By arranging the finger sleeve, the convenience and stability during operation are improved, facilitating the user to hold and take.

[0033] Furthermore, one end of the articulated shaft 2 is provided with a thread and is connected with a limit nut 201 through the thread.

[0034] One end of the articulated shaft 2 is provided with a convex block. Cooperating with the limit nut 201 threadedly connected to the other end, the two connecting members 1 can be limited from both sides, ensuring that the two connecting members 1 can only rotate relative to each other and will not shake or displace in the relative distance, ensuring the stability during use.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 On one side surface of each connecting member 1, a limiting mechanism is further provided. Each limiting mechanism includes an installation sleeve 102. One end of the installation sleeve 102 is rotatably connected to one side surface of the connecting member 1. One end of a rotating limiting rod 103 is slidably connected in the installation sleeve 102, and the other end of the rotating limiting rod 103 is inserted into a limiting hole 104. The limiting hole 104 is opened on one side surface of the corresponding operating rod 4.

[0036] During use, rotate the operating rod 4 to a direction consistent with the extending direction of the corresponding connecting member 1. Rotate the installation sleeve 102 to drive the rotating limiting rod 103 to rotate, so that the other end of the rotating limiting rod 103 corresponds to the position of the limiting hole 104, and insert the other end of the rotating limiting rod 103 into the limiting hole 104 to prevent the operating rod 4 from rotating independently relative to the connecting member 1. At the same time, in the folded state, the operating rod 4 is also limited by the same method to avoid relative rotation between it and the corresponding connecting member 1, improving the stability during use.

[0037] Further, each rotating limiting rod 103 includes two parts: a solid insertion rod 1031 and a hollow sleeve rod 1032. One end of the solid insertion rod 1031 is slidably connected inside one end of the hollow sleeve rod 1032. A mounting plate 1033 is fixedly connected between the inner walls of the hollow sleeve rod 1032. Both ends of a limiting spring 1034 are fixedly connected to the surface of one end of the solid insertion rod 1031 and the surface of one end of the mounting plate 1033.

[0038] During the rotation of the operating rod 4, the distance between the limiting hole 104 and the installation sleeve 102 changes. Therefore, the overall length of the rotating limiting rod 103 can be adjusted. The solid insertion rod 1031 can slide in the hollow sleeve rod 1032 to achieve this adjustment. At the same time, the solid insertion rod 1031 is pulled by the limiting spring 1034 and its other end is inserted into the limiting hole 104, so the stability of the limit can be improved.

[0039] Further, a magnetic block 105 is fixedly connected to the other end of the solid insertion rod 1031, and the operating rod 4 is made of a magnetizable metal material.

[0040] By providing a magnetic block 105 at one end of the solid insertion rod 1031, one end of the solid insertion rod 1031 can be stably adsorbed in the limiting hole 104, and the one end of the solid insertion rod 1031 will not be disengaged from the limiting hole 104 during use.

[0041] Further, the two limiting mechanisms are arranged on the opposite side surfaces of the two connecting members 1.

[0042] By arranging two limiting mechanisms on the non-contact surfaces of the two connecting members 1, it can be ensured that when the two connecting members 1 rotate relative to each other, the rotation angle will not be limited by the blocking of the limiting mechanism, reducing the limitations in use.

[0043] Working principle: The user puts the index finger and thumb into the two finger sleeves 401 respectively. When the index finger and thumb perform the opening and closing actions, the two connecting members 1 that are hinged and staggered can rotate relative to each other, thereby driving the two scissors heads 3 to open and close, and thus the action of cutting the wick can be realized. The cut part of the wick will fall on the surface of the shear plate 301 and be blocked by the enclosure 303 and will not fall on the candle and continue to burn to produce black smoke. When not in use, one end of the rotation limiting rod 103 can be pulled out of the limiting hole 104. After losing the limitation of the rotation limiting rod 103, the two operating rods 4 can rotate independently relative to the connecting member 1 through the rotating shaft 5. When the surface of one side of the operating rod 4 is in contact with the connecting member 1, insert one end of the rotation limiting rod 103 into the limiting hole 104 again to limit the operating rod 4, and the overall adjustment can be completed, reducing the overall occupied space to improve the convenience during storage and use.

[0044] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and changes can be made to the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
