Detailed Implementation
[0029] 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.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-10 A spindle locking mechanism for a folding cutter includes a blade 1, a left handle 2, a right handle 3, a locking ring 4, a fixing ring 5, and a locking element 6. The rear end of the blade 1 is connected between the left handle 2 and the right handle 3. The locking ring 4 passes through the blade 1, the left handle 2, and the right handle 3 and connects to the fixing ring 5 to lock the blade 1 to the left handle 2 and the right handle 3. The locking element 6 is disposed inside the locking ring 4.
[0031] Please see Figure 8The rear end of the blade 1 is provided with a first through hole 7, and the inner wall of the first through hole 7 is provided with an opening locking groove 8 and a closing locking groove 9 on both sides respectively; the blade 1 is rotatably connected to the outer wall of the locking ring 4 through the first through hole 7; a second through hole 10 is provided on the locking ring 4, and the locking member 6 passes through the second through hole 10 and is selectively connected to either the opening locking groove 8 or the closing locking groove 9.
[0032] Please see Figure 8 , 9 The locking component 6 includes a locking rod 11, a locking handle 12, a locking head 13, and a spring 14. The locking handle 12 is connected to the locking head 13 and is sleeved on the locking rod 11. The spring 14 is sleeved on the locking rod 11. The locking handle 12 is connected to the spring 14. The locking head 13 passes through the second through hole 10 on the locking ring 4. The locking handle 12 and the locking head 13 are connected by threads.
[0033] In the initial state, such as Figure 3 , 5 As shown, at this time, the blade 1 rotates between the left handle 2 and the right handle 3. The spring 14 pushes the lock handle 12 and the lock head 13, causing the lock head 13 to penetrate the second through hole 10 on the lock ring 4 and insert into the closed locking groove 9 of the first through hole 7 at the rear end of the blade 1, preventing the blade 1 from rotating outwards. To open, manually move the lock handle 12, causing it to compress the spring 14. This causes the lock handle 12 to move the lock head 13 away from the closed locking groove 9, allowing the blade 1 to rotate. At this point, the lock handle 12 can be released. As the blade 1 rotates to its position (when the open locking groove 8 is directly in front of the lock head 13), the spring 14 will push the lock handle 12 and the lock head 13 forward, causing the lock head 13 to insert into the open locking groove 8 of the blade 1, restricting the rotation of the blade 1. Figure 2 , 4 As shown.
[0034] Please see Figure 1 , 7 Multiple slots 15 are provided on the right side of the right handle 3, and multiple locking teeth 16 are provided on the locking ring 4. The locking teeth 16 cooperate with the slots 15. When the blade 1 rotates and closes, the locking ring 4 can be restricted from rotating with the blade.
[0035] Please see Figure 4 , 5 A stop post 17 is connected between the left handle 2 and the right handle 3; a stop groove 18 is provided at the rear end of the blade 1. This is used to prevent the blade 1 from flipping backward when it is opened.
[0036] Please see Figure 1 A shim 19 is provided between the left and right sides of the blade 1 and the left handle 2 and right handle 3.
[0037] The outer wall of the locking ring 4 has external threads, which are threaded to the fixing ring 5.
[0038] The rear ends of the left handle 2 and the right handle 3 are connected to the tailbone 20 by fixing screws.
[0039] The upper rear end of blade 1 is provided with anti-slip teeth 21, which facilitates manual opening of blade 1.
[0040] The spindle locking mechanism of this folding tool consists of a blade 1, a left handle 2, a right handle 3, a locking ring 4, a fixing ring 5, and a locking element 6. The rear end of the blade 1 is connected between the left handle 2 and the right handle 3. The locking ring 4 passes through the blade 1, the left handle 2, and the right handle 3 and connects to the fixing ring 5, locking the blade 1 to the left handle 2 and the right handle 3. The locking element 6 is located inside the locking ring 4. This mechanism not only offers high operational convenience and structural reliability during use, but also features a simple overall structure, facilitating tool production, processing, and daily maintenance.
[0041] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
