Specifically, the rear end 23 of the blade 2 is provided with a clamping groove 24, and one end of the lock rod 3 is fixedly provided with a clamping block 34, when the blade 2 is in the unfolded state, the clamping block 34 is clamped in the clamping groove 24 to prevent the blade 2 from rotating. Specifically, please refer to Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the lock rod 3 comprises a limiting portion 31, a protruding portion 32 and an abutting portion 33, the clamping block 34 is fixedly arranged at the end of the limiting portion 31 away from the protruding portion 32, the protruding portion 32 protrudes from the limiting portion 31 and the abutting portion 33 and extends towards the inside of the containing space 14, and the end of the protruding portion 32 close to the abutting portion 33 is rotatably arranged in the containing space 14 through a pin shaft 35.
[0026] It should be noted that by arranging the pin shaft 35 at the end of the protruding portion 32 close to the abutting portion 33, the distance between the clamping block 34 and the pin shaft 35 is greater than the distance between the free end of the abutting portion 33 and the pin shaft 35, thereby according to the principle of lever, the lock rod 3 can be rotated by a smaller force through the slide rod 5, and then the clamping block 34 is disengaged from the clamping groove 24. In other words, the slide rod 5 can conveniently disengage the clamping block 34 from the clamping groove 24.
[0027] In the embodiment, a first elastic member 4 is arranged between the locking rod 3 and the fixing plate 11 to prevent the clamping block 34 from rotating away from the clamping groove 24, that is, the first elastic member 4 is used to prevent the clamping block 34 from disengaging from the clamping groove 24. Specifically, the first elastic member 4 is a spring sheet in the prior art, the end of the fixing plate 11 close to the locking rod 3 is provided with a insertion slot 111, one end of the first elastic member 4 is inserted into the insertion slot 111, and the other end of the first elastic member 4 extends towards the locking rod 3 and abuts against the side of the abutting portion 33 close to the containing space 14. In this way, the elastic force of the elastic member is used to push the clamping block 34 to rotate towards the clamping groove 24 (here, the rotation is the rotation of the clamping block 34 along the central axis of the pin shaft 35). It should be noted that the first elastic member 4 is inserted into the insertion slot 111 to facilitate subsequent disassembly and replacement.
[0028] In the embodiment, the slide rod 5 is arranged on the handle 1 to push the clamping block 34 to rotate away from the clamping groove 24, that is, the slide rod 5 is used to push the clamping block 34 to disengage from the clamping groove 24. In this way, the clamping of the clamping block 34 and the clamping groove 24 is released, and then the blade 2 can be adjusted from the unfolded state to the folded state. In the normal state, the slide rod 5 is located on one side of the limiting portion 31.

[0029] In the implementation, the locking rod 3 rotates the clamping block 34 towards the clamping groove 24 by the elastic force of the first elastic member 4, and the clamping block 34 is clamped in the clamping groove 24, at this time, the blade 2 is in the unfolded state, and the slide rod 5 is located on one side of the limiting portion 31. When the user needs to fold the blade 2, the slide rod 5 is pushed to move towards the protruding portion 32, and when the force of the slide rod 5 pushing the protruding portion 32 is greater than the elastic force of the first elastic member 4, the clamping block 34 rotates away from the clamping groove 24 until the clamping block 34 completely disengages from the clamping groove 24. In this way, the user can fold the blade 2. When the blade 2 is folded, the user stops pushing the slide rod 5, at this time, the locking rod 3 is reset by the elasticity of the first elastic member 4, and in this way, the locking rod 3 pushes the slide rod 5 back to the original position.
[0030] Preferably, the containing space 14 is provided with a blocking rod 6, the blocking rod 6 is located on the side of the clamping block 34 away from the locking rod 3, and the rear end 23 of the blade 2 is recessed with an arc-shaped groove 25. When the clamping block 34 is clamped in the clamping groove 24, the arc-shaped groove 25 abuts against the blocking rod 6. In this way, the blade 2 in the unfolded state can be limited to avoid shaking of the blade 2 and affect the use effect.
