Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen knife technology, and in particular to a knife for removing red meat when processing freshwater raw fish. Background Technology

[0002] Raw fish, also known as sashimi, is a traditional delicacy with a long history, especially in southern my country, such as Guangdong and Guangxi. Raw fish culture reflects the Chinese people's pursuit of the finest ingredients and the exquisite art of cooking. In terms of ingredient selection, raw fish must be of superior quality, of moderate size, and must be kept in clean water for a period of time to reduce fat intake. The preparation process involves strict steps such as bleeding, gutting, and removing non-edible parts. The preparation method for raw fish in Shunde, Guangdong, typically involves selecting grass carp weighing about 4.5 jin (approximately 2.25 catties) and suspending them in spring water for 20 to 30 days to reduce their body fat. When killing the fish, a cut is made at the lower jaw and tail to bleed it, resulting in snow-white fillets. After removing the scales, skin, head, tail, bones, and red meat, the resulting snow-white fillets are further sliced ​​by the chef.

[0003] Removing the red meat is one of the key steps in making sashimi. Using traditional manual kitchen knives (such as spatulas) to remove the red meat is quite tedious, and inexperienced people may find it difficult to control the thickness of the red meat when cutting it, resulting in a lot of fish meat being wasted.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] Example 1: A knife for removing red meat during freshwater fish processing, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a handle 1, a blade connector and two blades 4.

[0037] The handle 1 extends in the left and right direction. The handle 1 is made of high-quality ABS material. The handle 1 includes a first anti-slip section 101, a grip section 102 and a second anti-slip section 103 connected in sequence from right to left. The upper and lower coverage of the first anti-slip section 101 and the second anti-slip section 103 is greater than the upper and lower height of the grip section 102, so as to reduce the possibility of the palm slipping out from the grip section 102.

[0038] The bottom connection between the first anti-slip section 101 and the grip section 102, and the third anti-slip section 103 and the grip section 102, are all provided with a gradually changing slope structure to avoid the vertical step structure from injuring the palm.

[0039] The grip section 102 is provided with anti-slip texture 105, and the bottom of the grip section 102 is provided with four finger grooves 104 that are spaced apart from left to right and have downward openings. The surfaces of the first anti-slip section 101 and the second anti-slip section 103 are provided with anti-slip protrusions 106.

[0040] The shape of the handle underwent multiple ergonomic tests before being finalized as a streamlined design that conforms to the curve of the palm. This design allows the user to grip the knife more naturally, reducing hand fatigue.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the blade connector includes a blade connector 2, which is a box structure with an open top. The top of the blade connector 2 is provided with a detachable cover 3. The inner side wall of the blade connector 2 is provided with at least two spaced support blocks. The support blocks are provided with through holes that are open at the top and bottom. The bottom of the cover 3 is provided with a rubber post that corresponds to, fits, and is bendable, and is inserted into the through hole. The top of the cover 3 is provided with a groove 301 for prying with fingers.

[0042] The left side of the blade connector 2 is detachably connected to the right end of the blade holder 1, specifically, as follows: Figure 3 As shown, the right end of the first anti-slip section 101 is provided with a first threaded rod section 107, and the left side plate of the blade connector 2 is provided with a connector 201. The connector 201 has an internal threaded hole with a left opening. The first threaded rod section 107 is inserted into the internal threaded hole and threadedly connected to it.

[0043] The right side of the blade connector is rotatably connected to the left side of the two blades 4. The blades 4 and the right side of the blade connector are perpendicular to each other. The two blades 4 are spaced apart. The bottom edge of the blades 4 is provided with a cutting edge structure.

[0044] The cutting edge structure at the bottom of blade 4 can swing back and forth within the vertical interface to adjust the width between the cutting edge structures of the two blades 4; the cutting edge structures at the bottom of the two blades 4 can rotate within the vertical interface to form a shape like... Figure 7 and Figure 8 The inward-pointing V-shaped spatial structure, or the two-blade structure, forms a shape like... Figure 9 and Figure 10 The two opposing outer-shaped structures are shown.

[0045] A limiting structure is provided at the connection between the blade 4 and the blade connector. This limiting structure is used to fix the angle of the blade 4 after it swings, so that the width between the cutting edges of the two blades 4 can be fixed. Specifically, as shown... Figure 4 As shown, the limiting structure includes a multi-faceted through hole on the right side plate of the blade connector 2. A connecting shaft 5 extending to the left is fixedly connected to the left side of the blade 4. The connecting shaft 5 passes through the multi-faceted through hole. From right to left, the connecting shaft 5 includes an integrally connected multi-faceted prism segment 501, a smooth rod segment 502, and a second threaded rod segment 503. The multi-faceted prism segment 501 is inserted into the multi-faceted through hole and is adapted to the multi-faceted through hole. The length of the smooth rod segment 502 is greater than or equal to the length of the multi-faceted prism segment 501. A threaded sleeve 6 is fitted on the second threaded rod segment 503 and is threadedly connected to it. A limiting plate 7 is fixedly provided at the left end of the threaded sleeve 6. The diameter of the limiting plate 7 is greater than the outer diameter of the threaded sleeve 6. A compression spring 8 is fitted on the connecting shaft 5. The left end of the compression spring 8 abuts against the right side of the limiting plate 7, and the right end of the compression spring 8 abuts against the right side plate of the blade connector 2.

[0046] When the compression spring 8 is in its initial state, the polygonal prism segment 501 is inserted into the polygonal through hole, and the compression spring 8 is in a compressed state.

[0047] The blade 4 in this embodiment is made of high-carbon stainless steel, which has excellent hardness and toughness, can maintain its sharpness for a long time, and is not easy to rust.

[0048] like Figure 5 As shown, the blade 4 includes a back structure located at its top. The blade thickness of the blade 4 gradually increases from the blade structure to the back structure, thereby increasing the weight of the blade and making it easier to cut. At the same time, it allows the cut sashimi to slide obliquely to both sides of the blade 4.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower right corner of the blade 4 has an arc-shaped chamfered blade structure to provide better support at the right end of the blade 4 during cutting, reduce the slippage of the fish meat, and ensure the stability of the cut.

[0050] The surface of blade 4 is coated with a nano-rust-proof coating to prevent the blade from rusting, reduce the adhesion of food residue, and make cleaning easier.

[0051] Operating principle: During scale removal, the two blades 4 can be pulled to the right, causing the polygonal prism section 501 to move out of the polygonal prism hole, and the smooth rod section 502 to insert into the polygonal prism hole. Then, they are rotated in opposite directions to a horizontal position, forming a shape as shown. Figure 9 and Figure 10 The two blades are shown in an outward-facing, straight-line configuration. Then, the blades 4 are released, and under the push of the compression spring 8, the polygonal prism section 501 is reinserted into the polygonal prism hole, locking the angle of the blades 4, and the scales are scraped off by the two blades 4.

[0052] When making sashimi, refer to the above steps and adjust the angle between the two blades 4 to about 180 degrees, so as not to obstruct your view. Then, proceed with cutting the sashimi.

[0053] When removing the red meat, adjust the two blades 4 according to the thickness of the red meat, referring to the above operation, to form the shape shown. Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown in the figure-eight structure, adjust the width between the blades of the two blades 4, align the blades of the two blades 4 with the sides of the red meat, press down on the sashimi slice, and pull the two blades 4 along the length of the sashimi slice to cut off the red meat. The cut red meat slides out from between the two blades 4.

[0054] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims and not by the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
