Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a peeler. Background Art

[0002] Existing peelers include a handle and a blade. In order to adapt to various scenarios, ingredients, or user habits, the blade is movable relative to the handle and has multiple angles. For example, patent document No. CN204635933U discloses a multifunctional peeler, including a body, a blade, a mounting member for mounting the blade, and a connecting seat. The mounting member is provided on the connecting seat, and the middle portion of the connecting seat is rotatably mounted on the body, so that the blade has multiple angles relative to the body. Although it can adapt to various scenarios and users, due to the connection position between the connecting seat and the body, and in order to take into account the overall volume of the peeler not being too large, either the volume of the connecting seat or the volume of the body is reduced, but the structural strength is correspondingly reduced. In addition, during the rotation of the connecting seat, there are partial angles. For example, when the extension direction of the blade is parallel to the extension direction of the handle, the blade is too close to the handle, which, on the one hand, poses a safety hazard, and on the other hand, affects the operation of cutting ingredients. Utility Model Content

[0003] The present application provides a peeler that is more convenient to operate and easy to process and manufacture.

[0004] The peeler provided in this application includes:

[0005] handle;

[0017] Optionally, the pivot includes a snap-fit ​​portion, and the locking member is provided with a limiting hole and an avoidance hole arranged along the sliding direction and interconnected. When the locking member is in the locked position, the snap-fit ​​portion is in the limiting hole to limit the rotation of the mounting seat. When the locking member is in the released position, the snap-fit ​​portion is in the avoidance hole to allow the mounting seat to rotate.

[0018] Optionally, the locking member is provided with a blocking portion, and the pivot includes a radially outwardly protruding anti-slip portion, and the anti-slip portion acts on the blocking portion to limit the separation of the mounting seat and the handle.

[0020] The blocking portion includes a first blocking portion located in the avoidance hole and a second blocking portion located in the limiting hole. Along the axial direction of the pivot and opposite to the first surface, the first blocking portion is lower than the second blocking portion. When the locking member is in the locked position, the anti-slip portion abuts against the second blocking portion and the first surface abuts against the second surface.

[0021] When the locking member is switched to the unlocking position, the mounting seat can move axially along the pivot until the anti-slip portion is opposite to the first blocking portion, and accordingly, the first surface and the second surface are separated.

[0022] Optionally, a positioning structure is included, and the positioning structure includes:

[0023] a positioning block disposed on one of the first surface or the second surface;

[0024] A positioning hole is provided on the other of the first surface or the second surface.

When the locking member is switched to the locked position, the mounting seat can move axially along the pivot until the anti-slip portion abuts against the first blocking portion, and the positioning block partially withdraws from the positioning hole to reduce the rotational damping force.

[0025] The peeler of the present application has a mounting base that is rotatably connected to the handle at its end, which reduces interference between the mounting base and the handle during rotation, provides a larger rotational space for the mounting base, and is more convenient to operate. Furthermore, there are fewer restrictions on the shape and structural design of the mounting base and the handle, thereby facilitating processing and manufacturing, and making it easier to achieve the required structural strength.

[0047] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of this application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0048] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "connected" to another component, it may be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is referred to as being "disposed on" another component, it may be directly disposed on the other component or there may be an intermediate component.

[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application pertains. The terms used herein in the specification of this application are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0050] In this application, the terms "first," "second," etc. are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood to indicate or imply relative importance or implicitly indicate the number or order of the technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, "plurality" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0051] See Figures 1-4 The present application provides a peeler 1000, comprising a handle 100 and a mounting base 200. The handle 100 is for a user to hold, and the mounting base 200 has two oppositely arranged ends. A blade 300 is mounted between the two ends of the mounting base 200, and the blade 300 is used to cut food. One end of the mounting base 200 is rotatably connected to the handle 100, so that the blade 300 has multiple usage postures relative to the handle 100. The usage posture of the blade 300 includes the spatial position of the mounting base 200 relative to the handle 100, and the angle of the blade 300 relative to the handle 100. For example, there are two usage postures, in which the angle between the blade 300 and the handle 100 is the same, but the spatial position of the mounting base 200 relative to the handle 100 is different, which are regarded as the two different usage postures.

[0052] In the peeler of the present application, the end of the mounting base 200 is rotatably connected to the handle 100, which reduces interference between the mounting base 200 and the handle 100 during rotation, provides a larger rotational space for the mounting base 200, and facilitates operation. This reduces restrictions on the shape and structural design of the mounting base 200 and the handle 100, facilitating manufacturing and achieving the desired structural strength. The specific structure and shape are described below.

[0053] The handle 100 includes a grip portion 110 extending along a first direction 101, and the blade 300 has a first posture (e.g., Figure 1As shown). In some existing peelers, in the first posture, the connection base part overlaps with the body. In order to meet the corresponding scene and use safety requirements, the length of the body needs to be lengthened. However, in this application, the mounting base 200 does not overlap with the handle 100. After meeting the corresponding scene and use safety requirements, the overall length of the handle 100 can be shortened, thereby reducing manufacturing costs. Moreover, after switching to other postures, the peeler 1000 of this application is smaller in size and easier to store than the prior art. For example, the blade 300 also has a second posture (such as the second posture) in which its own extension direction is perpendicular to the first direction 101. Figure 2 shown).

[0054] The handle 100 further includes a bent portion 120 connected to the grip portion 110. The mounting base 200 and the bent portion 120 are rotatably connected. When the blade 300 is in the second position, the grip portion 110 extends in a direction passing through the midpoint of the blade 300, which reduces cutting effort and provides a more symmetrical and simpler appearance overall. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings illustrate only the first and second positions for ease of illustration, but these are not the only two positions.

[0055] In the figure, one end of the bending portion 120 is connected to one end of the grip portion 110, and one end of the mounting base 200 is rotatably connected to the other end of the bending portion 120. Starting from the grip portion 110, the bending portion 120 includes a first section 123 and a second section 124. The first section 123 and the grip portion 110 are inclined at an angle of 35 to 60 degrees, preferably 45 degrees. The second section 124 is parallel to the first direction 101.

[0056] Among them, there is no rotation interference of the mounting base 200, and there is no need to make a local depression to avoid it like the existing peeler. The peeler 1000 of the present application has an evenly extended outer contour of the handle 100, a simpler appearance and convenient structural reinforcement design. Preferably, the bending portion 120 and the gripping portion 110 are integrally formed.

[0057] Accordingly, the mounting base 200 includes arms 220 at either end and a connecting portion 230 connecting the two arms 220. One arm 220 is pivotally connected to the handle 100. The connecting portion 230 is a sheet-like structure extending in a second direction parallel to the extension direction of the blade 300, resulting in a more compact structure. Preferably, when the blade 300 is in the first position, the outer surfaces of the mounting base 200 and the handle 100 form a smooth transition.

[0058] See also Figures 1-4 In one embodiment, the angle between the rotation axis 201 of the mounting base 200 rotating about the handle 100 and the first direction 101 is 45 degrees. When the mounting base 200 rotates 180 degrees from the first position to the second position, the blade 300 is in the same plane in the first and second positions.

[0059] Referring to Figure 5 In another embodiment, the rotation axis of the mounting base 200 around the handle 100 is perpendicular to the first direction 101.

[0060] Referring to Figures 1-4 , and Figures 6-14 In an embodiment, the peeler 1000 comprises a locking member 400, the handle 100 is provided with a sliding slot 121, the locking member 400 is slidingly arranged in the sliding slot 121, and the mounting base 200 is provided with a pivot 210 which is rotationally connected with the handle 100, and the pivot 210 extends into the sliding slot 121 and cooperates with the locking member 400. Correspondingly, the locking member 400 has a locking position as shown in Figure 8 , which acts on the pivot 210 to limit the rotation of the pivot 210, and has a releasing position as shown in Figure 9 , which releases the action on the pivot 210 to allow the mounting base 200 to rotate to adjust the posture of the blade 300. In the figure, the locking member 400 is arranged at the end of the handle 100 close to the mounting base 200, and has an operating portion 440 exposed outside the handle 100. The sliding slot 121 is provided with an elastic member 500 acting on the locking member 400, which is used to drive the locking member 400 to switch from the releasing position to the locking position, and the elastic member 500 is, for example, a spring or the like.

[0061] In an embodiment, the pivot 210 comprises an engaging portion 211, the locking member 400 is provided with a limiting hole 410 and an avoiding hole 420 which are arranged along the sliding direction and are interconnected, the engaging portion 211 is located in the limiting hole 410 to limit the rotation of the mounting base 200 when the locking member 400 is in the locking position, and the engaging portion 211 is located in the avoiding hole 420 to allow the mounting base 200 to rotate when the locking member 400 is in the releasing position. In the figure, the cross-sectional shape of the engaging portion 211 is a polygonal structure with an inscribed circle, and the sides are arranged according to the use posture of the blade 300, for example, a waist-shaped structure in the figure, or a hexagon, etc. The limiting hole 410 is arranged corresponding to the engaging portion 211, and the avoiding hole 420 is circular.

[0062] The locking member 400 is provided with a blocking portion 430, and the pivot 210 comprises a radial outwardly protruding anti-disengaging portion 212 which acts on the blocking portion 430 to limit the separation of the mounting base 200 and the handle 100. In the figure, the pivot 210 comprises a circular shaft portion 213, and the handle 100 is provided with a shaft hole 103 which cooperates with the shaft portion 213. The engaging portion 211 is arranged between the anti-disengaging portion 212 and the shaft portion 213, the blocking portion 430 is a block which is vertically protruded from the limiting hole 410 and the avoiding hole 420, the end portion of the anti-disengaging portion 212 is tapered, and the block located in the avoiding hole 420 is provided with a plurality of openings, so that the block is divided into a plurality of deformation portions 4311 which have a certain deformation capacity, and the anti-disengaging portion 212 passes through the block when the mounting base 200 is installed.

[0063] In one embodiment, there are mutually cooperating rotating surfaces between the handle 100 and the mounting base 200, and the rotating surfaces include a first surface 102 set on the handle 100 and a second surface 202 set on the mounting base 200. The first surface 102 and the second surface 202 are flat surfaces or curved surfaces.

[0064] When the locking member 400 is in the locked position, the first surface 102 and the second surface 202 abut against each other, and the surface contact improves the matching strength between the mounting base 200 and the handle 100 and reduces the shaking of the mounting base 200 during use.

[0065] The blocking portion 430 includes a first blocking portion 431 located within the avoidance hole 420 and a second blocking portion 432 located within the limiting hole 410. Along the pivot axis and relative to the first surface 102, the first blocking portion 431 is lower than the second blocking portion 432. With reference to the accompanying drawings, the upper surface of the first blocking portion 431 is at a distance L1 from the first surface 102, while the upper surface of the second blocking portion 432 is at a distance L2 from the first surface 102, with L1 being less than L2. A connecting surface is provided between the upper surfaces of the two blocking portions to facilitate movement of the anti-slip portion 212 between the two surfaces.

[0066] When the locking member 400 is in the locked position, the anti-slip portion 212 abuts against the second blocking portion 432 and the first surface 102 and the second surface 202 abut against each other;

[0067] When the locking member 400 is switched to the unlocking position, the mounting base 200 can move axially along the pivot until the anti-slip portion 212 is relative to the first blocking portion 431. Accordingly, the first surface 102 and the second surface 202 are separated, eliminating the rotational friction generated by the contact between the two planes, making the rotation of the mounting base 200 smoother.

[0068] In one embodiment, the peeler 1000 further includes a positioning structure, which includes:

[0069] A positioning block 214 is disposed on one of the first surface 102 or the second surface 202 ;

[0070] The positioning hole 122 is arranged on the first surface 102 or the other of the second surface 202. When the blade 300 is in various usage postures, the positioning block 214 extends into the positioning hole 122 to apply a rotational damping force to the mounting seat 200, which is convenient for the user's blind operation. That is, when the mounting seat 200 is rotated, the positioning structure can keep the mounting seat 200 in the usage posture. If the usage posture meets the user's expectations, the locking member 400 is operated to the locking position. If it does not reach the expected position, it continues to rotate until it meets the expectations.

[0071] Furthermore, when the locking member 400 is in the locked position, the rotation damping force provided by the locking member 400 can cooperate with the locking member 400 to limit the rotation of the mounting base 200 .

[0072] In conjunction with the aforementioned height difference between the first blocking portion 431 and the second blocking portion 432 relative to the first surface 102, when the locking member 400 is switched to the locked position, the mounting base 200 can move axially along the pivot until the anti-slip portion 212 abuts the first blocking portion 431. The positioning block 214 partially exits the positioning hole 122 to reduce the fit between the two, thereby reducing the rotational damping force. The positioning block 214 has a guide portion at its bottom, for example, which is generally hemispherical and integrates the aforementioned deformable portion 4311. When the mounting base 200 is rotated further, the guide portion can guide the positioning block 214 to completely exit the positioning hole 122, while the anti-slip portion 212 squeezes the deformable portion 4311, causing it to deform to accommodate the movement of the positioning block 214. During the subsequent switching process between two adjacent usage postures, the positioning block 214 always rests against the first surface 102, providing a better rotation feel while not affecting the rotation of the mounting base 200. Once the positioning block 214 is aligned with the positioning hole 122, the deformation portion 4311 resets and drives the mounting base 200 to move axially along the pivot, so that the positioning block 214 extends into the positioning hole 122, thereby playing a temporary positioning role.

[0073] The peeler of the present application has a mounting base that is rotatably connected to the handle at its end, which reduces interference between the mounting base and the handle during rotation, provides a larger rotational space for the mounting base, and is more convenient to operate. This reduces restrictions on the shape and structural design of the mounting base 200 and the handle, thereby facilitating processing and manufacturing, and making it easier to achieve the required structural strength.

[0074] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined in any manner. To simplify the description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there are no conflicts in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification. When technical features in different embodiments are reflected in the same figure, it can be regarded as that figure also discloses the combination examples of the various embodiments involved.

[0075] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art could make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present application, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
