Detailed Implementation

[0026] 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. Example

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0028] A knife holder, comprising:

[0029] The tool holder 1 is installed at an angle on the inclined surface of the support base 2. The bottom of the support base 2 is connected to the tool holder 1. The bottom of the tool holder 1 has a pad 101. A tool groove plate 3 is installed on the upper end face of the tool holder 1. The tool groove plate 3 has multiple tool grooves 4. The tool grooves 4 penetrate the tool groove plate 3 and reach the lower end face of the tool holder 1 to form a water leakage groove 401.

[0030] In this embodiment, because existing knife holders can easily accumulate residual moisture or small debris, such as chopped green onions, when a cleaned knife is placed directly into the slot 4, these substances can easily cause mold and other hygiene problems. Therefore, the slot 4 is extended until it penetrates the bottom of the knife holder 1, forming a through drainage channel 401. When the knife is placed into the slot 4, the residual moisture or small debris can flow out of the knife holder through the drainage channel 401 at the bottom of the slot, thus keeping the inside of the knife holder 1 and the support base 2 clean and extending the service life of the knife holder. Example

[0031] Please see Figures 3 to 7 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0032] A knife holder 1 is installed at an angle on the inclined surface of a support base 2. The bottom of the support base 2 is connected to the knife holder 1. The bottom of the knife holder 1 has a foot 101. The upper surface of the support base 2 has multiple ventilation openings 201, which penetrate from the upper surface of the support base 2 to the lower surface of the support base 2. A knife groove plate 3 is installed on the upper surface of the knife holder 1. The knife groove plate 3 has multiple knife groove openings 4, which penetrate from the knife groove plate 3 to the upper surface of the knife holder 1 and reach the lower surface of the knife holder 1 to form a drainage groove 401. A guide groove 5 is fixedly installed below the knife groove openings 4, which extends into the internal space of the knife holder 1 to guide the kitchen knife placed inside the knife holder 1.

[0033] Specifically, a connecting plate 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the guide groove 5. The connecting plate 6 is in the shape of a kitchen knife outline, and the front end of the connecting plate 6 has a protective plate 7, which is crescent-shaped.

[0034] Specifically, the rear edge of the connecting plate 6 is curved, and a guide plate 8 with the same curved shape is fixedly installed on the edge of the connecting plate 6. One end of the guide plate 8 extends to the bottom of the connecting plate 6 and aligns with the drain groove 401.

[0035] Specifically, the rear end of the guide groove 5 has three mounting grooves 501.

[0036] Specifically, a sharpening cap 9 can be added to the blade groove 4, and the inner side of the sharpening cap 9 has a sharpening blade 901.

[0037] Specifically, the bottom of the sharpening cap 9 has a mounting plate 10, the shape of which is consistent with the rear end shape of the guide groove 5, and the outer diameter of the sharpening cap 9 is smaller than the inner diameter of the guide groove 5.

[0038] Specifically, the mounting plate 10 has three elastic blocks 11, and the positions of the elastic blocks 11 correspond to the positions of the mounting grooves 501.

[0039] Specifically, the oblique connection between the tool holder 1 and the support base 2 has multiple ventilation holes 202 evenly distributed from top to bottom, and the ventilation opening 201, the ventilation hole 202 and the water drain 401 form a ventilation channel.

[0040] In this embodiment, the knife holder 1 and the support base 2 are hollowed out. In order to guide the kitchen knife placed into the knife slot 4, a guide groove 5 for guiding direction is installed below the knife slot 4. At the same time, in order to prevent the position of the kitchen knife placed into the knife slot 4 from moving, a connecting plate 6 and a protective plate 7 are installed below the guide groove 5. The connecting plate 6 contacts the side of the kitchen knife, and the crescent-shaped protective plate 7 limits the back of the kitchen knife. The connecting plate 6 also has a guide plate 8. The guide plate 8 can support the blade of the kitchen knife and guide the dripping residual water to the top of the guide plate 8. Then, this water will fall into the bottom of the knife holder 1 from the drain groove 401 at the bottom.

[0041] The bottom of the knife holder 1 and the support base 2 is equipped with pads 101, which leave ventilation space under the knife holder 1 and the support base 2. Water can be dried naturally or manually by removing the knife holder and wiping it dry by dripping from the drain groove 401. At the same time, there is a ventilation opening 201 on the top of the support base 2. The ventilation opening 201 cooperates with the ventilation hole 202 at the connection between the support base 2 and the knife holder 1, so that external air flows into the knife holder 1 and finally flows out from the drain groove 401 at the bottom, forming a ventilation channel to dry the inside of the knife holder 1. At the same time, the side of the knife is exposed due to the connecting plate 6 and the protective plate 7, which can be directly ventilated, thereby keeping the inside of the knife holder 1 clean and dry, and effectively preventing hygiene problems such as "mold".

[0042] In this embodiment, a sharpening cap 9 can also be installed on the knife slot 4. The inside of the sharpening cap 9 has a sharpening blade 901. The sharpening cap 9 can sharpen the knife once each time it is put into the knife slot 4 or taken out.

[0043] The lower end of the sharpening cap 9 has an elastic block 11, which is fixed in place with the mounting groove 501 of the guide groove 5.

[0044] When using this utility model, the knife holder is placed on the countertop. After use, the knife can be directly inserted into the knife groove 4. Since the knife groove 4 extends directly to the bottom of the knife holder to form a drainage groove 401, residual water and small debris on the knife will drip directly from the drainage groove 401 and will not remain in the knife holder 1, causing hygiene problems such as "mold". At the same time, the knife holder 1 and the support base 2 are raised by the pads 101, so that the bottom of the knife holder can be ventilated, preventing moisture from accumulating at the bottom and being difficult to evaporate.

[0045] Meanwhile, the knife holder can also adopt a hollow design, and fix the knife with the guide groove 5, connecting plate 6, protective plate 7 and guide plate 8. At the same time, the support base 2 has a ventilation port 201, which cooperates with the ventilation hole 202 at the connection between the support base 2 and the knife holder 1 to allow external air to flow into the knife holder 1 and finally flow out from the drain groove 401 at the bottom, forming a ventilation channel to ventilate the inside of the knife and the knife holder 1, so that the inside of the knife holder 1 and the knife is kept dry and clean.

[0046] All other parts of this utility model not described herein are the same as existing technologies, or are known technologies, or can be implemented using existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
