[0030] The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0031] like Figure 1-11 As shown, the utility knife with blade replacement and recycling function of this embodiment includes a shell 1 for placing the blade, a pushing seat 2 for pushing the blade is provided on the upper part of the shell 1, a track groove 3 for blade displacement is provided inside the shell 1, and a blade magazine 4 for storing the blade is provided at the end of the track groove 3. The bottom of the shell 1 is provided with an adjustment seat 5 for adjusting the position of the blade magazine 4. The adjustment seat 5 can drive the blade magazine 4 to move along the width direction of the shell 1. While the old blade is being recycled, the new blade can also be pushed out, and the unfinished blade can be quickly replaced without the need to disassemble the blade, which is also safer. A locking structure used in conjunction with the adjustment seat 5 is provided on the side wall of the shell 1. The locking structure can limit the position of the blade magazine when in use to prevent the blade magazine 4 from deflecting and moving during use, which affects the recycling of the old blade.
[0032] The housing 1 includes a base 27 located at the bottom, and a detachable protective cover 28 is installed above the base 27. The front end of the protective cover 28 is rotatably connected to the base 27 through a pipe pin, and a plug 29 is provided at the end to seal the base 27 and the protective cover 28. The push seat 2 is installed on the protective cover 28, and the inner side walls of the front and rear ends of the protective cover 28 are provided with limiting grooves 30. The upper part of the push seat 2 is provided with a ridge 31 used in conjunction with the limiting groove 30, and the lower part is provided with a push plate 33 corresponding to the top groove position of the blade. The detachable connection between the base 27 and the protective cover 28 can facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the blade magazine 4. Both ends of the blade magazine 4 are provided with a blade for entering The channel 32 is out. When all the blades in the storage bin 7 are transferred to the recovery bin 8, the protective cover 28 is opened to take out the blade bin and then flip it 180° before installing it. At this time, the positions of the original recovery bin 8 and the storage bin 7 are interchanged. At this time, the worn end of the blade is facing the rear end of the shell 1, and the unused end is facing the front end of the shell 1. The blades are pushed forward one by one by the pushing seat 2 for secondary use. Through this design, both ends of the blade can be used synchronously and the adjustable design 3 of the blade bin can be used to carry out batch installation and recycling processing, thereby improving the efficiency of blade replacement and improving the safety of the replacement operation.
[0033] A partition 6 is provided in the middle of the blade bin 4, which divides the blade bin 4 into a storage bin 7 and a recovery bin 8. The inner walls of the storage bin 7 and the recovery bin 8 are provided with arc-shaped spring pieces 9 for tightening the blades. The function of the arc-shaped spring pieces is to apply thrust to the blades, ensuring that the new blades are always in contact with the partition 6 when replacing the blades, making it convenient for the push seat 2 to push the new blades along the track groove 3 to the working position.
[0034] The adjustment seat 5 includes a base plate 10, and the lower part of the base plate 10 is provided with a toggle block 11 extending to the outside of the shell 1. A pressing spring 12 connected to the shell 1 is provided on one side wall of the toggle block 11. The toggle block 11 can drive the adjustment base 5 to move horizontally, and then drive the blade bin 4 to move, so as to change the position of the storage bin 7 and the recycling bin 8. When the blade needs to be replaced, the push seat 2 is first toggled back to the initial position from the working position. At this time, the old blade enters the recycling bin 8 under the drive of the push seat 2. At this time, the toggle block 11 is slid to the right, and after driving the blade bin to move to the right, the storage bin 7 slides to the right to the bottom of the push seat 2. At this time, pressing the push seat 2 makes it move forward, driving the new blade to enter the working position after passing through the track groove 3. Baffles 13 are provided on both sides of the base plate 10, which are in contact with the side walls of the blade magazine 4. The outer wall of the baffle 13 away from the pressing spring 12 is provided with a limiting protrusion 14 used in conjunction with the locking structure. The position of the adjustment seat 5 can be locked through the limiting protrusion 14, so that it forms a linkage relationship with the push seat 2, so that the two are locked with each other in the working state (that is, the state where the blade extends out of the shell 1), maintaining the stability of the working state. At the same time, the locking structure can ensure that the blade can accurately enter the recovery bin 8 when it retracts.
[0035] The upper surface of the base plate 10 is provided with a plug-in board 15 connected to the blade magazine 4, and the bottom of the blade magazine 4 is provided with a plug-in slot 16 corresponding to the position of the plug-in board 15. The design of the plug-in board 15 and the plug-in slot 16 can play a guiding role when installing the blade magazine 4.
[0036] There are two plug-in boards 15, which are respectively located in front of and behind the partition 6. The two plug-in boards 15 are coaxially distributed with the partition 6. The two plug-in boards 15 are extensions of the partition 6. While playing a guiding role, they can also prevent the blade from deflecting during movement.
[0037] A through hole 17 corresponding to the position of the limiting protrusion 14 is provided on the side wall of the shell 1. When the blade is pushed out, the entire utility knife is in the working state. At this time, the locking structure cancels the left side limit of the adjustment seat 5, so that the pressing spring 12 can push the adjustment seat 5 to the left. At this time, the limiting protrusion 14 is clamped in the through hole 17, and the rear side of the limiting plate 19 is in contact with the front end surface of the limiting protrusion 14. The limiting protrusion 14 reversely limits the limiting plate 19 to prevent the locking bar 18 from sliding backward and causing the blade to retract, and cooperates with the position limit of the limiting groove 30 and the ridge 31 to ensure the stability of the blade extended in the working state through two limits.
[0038] The locking structure includes a locking strip 18 slidingly arranged on the inner wall of the shell 1, and the lower part of the locking strip 18 is provided with a limiting plate 19 located between the through hole 17 and the limiting protrusion 14. The inner side of the front end of the locking strip 18 is provided with a linkage seat 26 used in conjunction with the pushing seat 2. When the pushing seat 2 chef's suit moves solidly to the working state, it will come into contact with the linkage seat 26. At this time, as the pushing seat 2 continues to move forward, the locking strip 18 will move forward synchronously in the slide groove 20, thereby driving the limiting plate 19 to move forward synchronously. After the limiting plate 19 moves forward, it cancels the obstruction of the limiting protrusion 14 (that is, the leftmost limit of the adjustment seat 5). At this time, under the thrust of the pressing spring 12, the limiting protrusion 14 enters the through hole 17, thereby completing the left movement of the recovery bin 8. At this time, the limiting plate 19 and the limiting protrusion 14 are engaged.
[0039] The linkage seat 26 includes an adapter plate 23 connected to the locking strip 18, a follower block 24 is provided on the upper part of the adapter plate 23, and a card interface 25 is provided on the pushing seat 2 for use with the follower block 24. When the pushing seat 2 moves to the working position, the card interface 25 will engage with the follower block 24, thereby driving the linkage seat 26 to move forward.
[0040] A slide groove 20 for the sliding of the locking bar 18 is provided on the inner side wall of the shell 1, and a groove 21 is provided at the lower part of the slide groove 20 for cooperating with the limit plate 19. A return spring 22 is provided in the slide groove 20 for pushing the locking bar 18 to the original position. The return spring 22 is located at the front end of the slide groove 20, and the end of the locking bar 18 is provided with a blind hole for plugging the return spring 22. When the toggle block 11 is pressed, the limit protrusion 14 cancels the limit on the limit plate 19. Under the thrust of the return spring 22, the locking bar 18 slides backward. At this time, the limit plate 19 moves to between the limit protrusion 14 and the through hole 17 to block it, preventing the adjustment seat 5 from moving to the left. At this time, the storage bin 7 is located below the pushing seat 2. When the pushing seat 2 moves forward, it can drive the new blade to the working position through the track groove 3.
[0041] The width of the groove 21 is greater than the width of the through hole 17, and the right edge of the groove 21 coincides with the right edge of the through hole 17. The groove 21 forms a limit for the limit plate 17, and can jointly limit the travel distance of the locking strip 18 with the slide groove 20. The through hole 17 is located in the groove 21, close to one end of the plug. When the limit plate 19 is in the initial position, the limit plate 19 can cover the through hole 17 to prevent the adjustment seat 5 from moving to the left.
[0042] Working principle: when the utility knife needs to be used, all the blades are in the storage bin 7 and the recycling bin 8 is in an empty state. Pressing the pushing seat 2 to move forward will push a blade forward to pass through the track groove 3 and enter the working position. In the process of pushing the pushing seat 2 forward, it will drive the linkage seat 26 to move forward, and then drive the limit plate 19 to slide forward. At this time, there is no obstruction between the limit protrusion 14 and the through hole 17. The adjusting seat 5 will push the adjusting seat 5 to the left under the action of the pressing spring 12, so that the limit protrusion 14 is inserted into the through hole 17. At this time, the recycling bin 8 coincides with the track groove 3, and the limit plate 19 and the limit protrusion 14 can form a secondary limit and cooperate with the limit groove 30 and the ridge 31 to limit the extended state of the blade. If the blade needs to be retracted at this time, it is only necessary to press the pushing seat 2 and slide it backward to move it to the initialization position, thereby driving the blade into the recycling bin 8. When there is no need to replace the blade, just repeat the operation.
[0043] When the blade needs to be replaced, the extension steps are as described above. When recycling, the pushing seat 2 is first slid backward to the initial position. At this time, the blade that needs to be replaced is moved to the recycling bin 8. At this time, the toggle block 11 is pressed to the right, and the adjusting seat 5 is used to drive the blade bin 4 to move to the right. At this time, the limiting protrusion 14 cancels the limitation of the limiting plate 19. Under the push of the reset spring 22, the locking strip 18 slides backward, and the limiting plate 19 moves to between the limiting protrusion 14 and the through hole 17, blocking the adjusting seat 5 from moving to the right, and fixing the adjusting seat 5 to ensure that the storage bin 7 is located below the pushing seat 2 at this time. At this time, when the pushing seat 2 slides forward, it will move a new blade to the working position to complete a blade replacement operation.
[0044] In the initial state, several new blades will be placed in the storage bin 7, while there will be no blades in the recovery bin 8. After one replacement, the blades in the storage bin 7 will enter the recovery bin 8. After all the blades in the storage bin 7 are transferred to the recovery bin 8, the protective cover 28 is opened, the blade bin 4 is taken out, turned 180 degrees and placed on the adjustment seat 5 again, with the used end facing the working position. The above two steps are repeated until both ends of the blades in the blade bin 4 are worn or damaged. After the blade bin 4 is removed, the blades are replaced in batches.
