[0002] A wood splitter is a mechanical device used to split wood. It uses cutting blades to cut the wood so that it can be used and stored. Wood splitters can be used in the wood chip processing industry, as well as for splitting firewood for home heating or bonfire parties.

[0003] Existing ordinary wood splitters usually lack protective mechanisms, resulting in low safety. Wood chips fly everywhere during the splitting process, and improper operation can easily cause personal injury to the operator. Although some wood splitters are equipped with protective covers, the covers still need to be manually opened when placing and removing wood, which is not only cumbersome to operate but also affects work efficiency and is inconvenient to use.

[0021] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0022] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

Furthermore, the schematic diagrams are merely examples and should not limit the scope of protection of this utility model. In addition, actual manufacturing should include the three-dimensional spatial dimensions of length, width, and depth.

[0024] Furthermore, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0025] See Figures 1-3A wood splitter with a liftable protective cover includes a housing 1, with rotating covers 2 rotatably mounted on both sides of the top of the housing 1. A limiting component 3 for positioning the rotating covers 2 is provided inside the housing 1. A top plate 4 is provided above the rotating covers 2, and a splitting blade 5 is provided at the bottom of the top plate 4. U-shaped rods 6 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the top plate 4. A groove 7 for cooperating with the U-shaped rods 6 is provided inside the rotating covers 2, and a pair of U-shaped slots 8 are provided inside the rotating covers 2.

[0026] The two rotating covers 2 on the top of the box 1 are in a close-fitting state on one side, forming a protective cover. The wood segment is placed in the U-shaped groove 8 inside the rotating cover 2, which limits the wood. The top plate 4 descends, causing the splitting blade 5 to split the wood. After the top plate 4 enters the rotating cover 2, it seals it, providing all-round protection. The descent of the top plate 4 simultaneously drives the U-shaped rod 6 to descend. The two U-shaped rods 6 descend into the grooves 7 on both sides of the rotating cover 2. After the wood is split, the top plate 4 continues to drive the U-shaped rods 6 to descend, so that the U-shaped rods 6 contact the limiting component 3, causing the limiting component 3 to release the positioning of the rotating cover 2. The two rotating covers 2 rotate to the sides, thereby automatically opening the rotating cover 2, making it easy to take out the split wood and to assemble new wood to be split.

[0027] In the specific implementation process, such as Figure 3 As shown, the limiting component 3 includes pressure rods 31 inserted into the top two sides of the box body 1. The bottom of the pressure rods 31 is fixedly connected to the fixing plate 32. Springs 33 are fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the fixing plate 32. A plug rod 34 is fixedly connected to one side of the bottom of the rotating cover 2. The top of the box body 1 has a slot 35 for cooperating with the plug rod 34. U-shaped frames 36 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the fixing plate 32. First abutments 37 are fixedly connected to both sides of the plug rod 34. Second abutments 38 for cooperating with the first abutments 37 are fixedly connected to both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 36.

[0028] The bottom insert rod 34 of the rotating cover 2 is inserted into the top slot 35 of the box 1, so that the two rotating covers 2 are tightly fitted on one side. After the insert rod 34 enters the slot 35, it is inserted into the U-shaped frame 36. The first abutment 37 on both sides of the insert rod 34 is engaged with the second abutment 38 on both sides of the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 36, fixing the insert rod 34 in the U-shaped frame 36 and limiting and fixing the rotating cover 2. When the top plate 4 descends, it drives the U-shaped rod 6 to move down in the groove 7. The U-shaped rod 6 contacts the pressure rod 31 and drives the pressure rod 31 to descend. The pressure rod 31 drives the fixing plate 32 to descend and squeezes the spring 33. When the fixing plate 32 descends, the U-shaped frame 36 separates from the insert rod 34 inside, thereby releasing the fixation of the insert rod 34, so that the two rotating covers 2 can be rotated, thus automatically opening the rotating cover 2.

[0029] A fixed frame 9 is fixedly connected to the outside of the housing 1. An electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed frame 9. The top rod of the electric push rod 10 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 4. The fixed frame 9 supports and fixes the electric push rod 10, and the electric push rod 10 facilitates the lifting and lowering of the top plate 4.

[0030] A pair of guide rods 11 are inserted inside the fixed frame 9. The bottom end of the guide rods 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 4. When the top plate 4 is raised or lowered, the guide rods 11 at the top slide inside the fixed frame 9 to guide and limit the top plate 4, thereby improving the stability of the top plate 4 when it is raised or lowered.

[0031] A collection cabinet 12 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the box 1. A handle 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the collection cabinet 12. The collection cabinet 12 can be used to collect the debris generated when the wood is split. The handle 13 makes it easy to pull out the collection cabinet 12 to collect and clean the debris.

[0032] In use, the log is placed in the U-shaped groove 8 inside the rotating cover 2 to limit its position. The top plate 4 descends, causing the splitting blade 5 to split the log. After the top plate 4 enters the rotating cover 2, it seals the log, providing all-around protection. The descent of the top plate 4 simultaneously drives the U-shaped rod 6 to descend. The two U-shaped rods 6 descend into the grooves 7 on both sides of the rotating cover 2. After the log is split, the top plate 4 continues to drive the U-shaped rod 6 to descend. The U-shaped rod 6 contacts the pressure rod 31 and drives the pressure rod 31 to descend. The pressure rod 31 drives the fixing plate 32 to descend and compresses the spring 33. When the fixing plate 32 descends, the U-shaped frame 36 separates from its internal insert rod 34, thereby releasing the fixation of the insert rod 34. This allows the two rotating covers 2 to rotate, automatically opening the rotating cover 2 to facilitate the removal of the split log and the assembly of new logs to be split.
