Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils, specifically to a knife holder. Background Technology

[0002] In current tool holders, a sharpening device is usually installed on the outside of the tool holder to facilitate sharpening of the tool. However, this will affect the overall consistency of the tool holder's appearance and worsen the visual effect. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool holder that facilitates the installation of a sharpening tool without affecting the aesthetic appearance of the tool holder.

[0004] One embodiment of the present invention provides a tool holder, which includes: a tool holder housing, the tool holder housing including a plurality of housing walls, the plurality of housing walls surrounding a receiving cavity for inserting a tool, at least one of the plurality of housing walls being removable; and a sharpener holder disposed within the receiving cavity for holding a sharpener.

[0005] The knife holder provided in this embodiment, by setting a sharpener holder within the receiving cavity of the knife holder housing, stores the sharpener inside the receiving cavity without affecting the overall consistency of the knife holder's appearance, ensuring its aesthetic appeal and preventing users from not being able to find the sharpener when they need to sharpen their knives. Furthermore, making at least one wall of the knife holder housing removable facilitates the removal of the sharpener from the receiving cavity after removing the housing wall. It also allows for cleaning of the interior of the knife holder housing after removal. Compared to related technologies where only a small removable window is available on the knife holder housing, this allows for better cleaning of the corner areas inside the knife holder housing, resulting in better cleaning and preventing long-term accumulation of dirt and mold that could lead to secondary contamination of kitchen utensils and food.

[0006] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the multiple housing walls include a housing bottom wall, a housing top wall, and a housing side wall, and the sharpener holder is disposed on the housing bottom wall or the housing side wall.

[0007] If the sharpening holder is placed on the bottom wall of the housing, the weight of the sharpening tool (such as a whetstone) can be lowered, reducing the chance of the holder tipping over during tool insertion or removal. If the holder is placed on the side wall of the housing, it prevents water droplets from the tools from falling onto the sharpening tool, helping to keep it clean.

[0008] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the sharpener holder is a slot provided on the inner surface of the tool holder housing. The slot is adapted to the outer contour of the sharpener so that the sharpener is locked in the slot. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to quickly install the sharpener into position by aligning it with the slot, improving assembly efficiency; on the other hand, the slot can limit the sharpener, preventing it from moving around in the tool holder housing, colliding with the tool, or even damaging the cutting edge of the tool.

[0009] Furthermore, in some embodiments, at least one opposite side of the housing wall is magnetically or snap-fitted to an adjacent housing wall. The housing walls are easy to assemble and disassemble, thus facilitating the removal and placement of the sharpener and the cleaning of the inside of the tool holder.

[0010] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the tool holder housing includes a plurality of interconnected housing sidewalls, at least one of which is removable. Thus, after removing the housing sidewall, a large area of ​​the tool holder's interior can be exposed, facilitating cleaning of the corner areas inside the tool holder by the user.

[0011] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the multiple housing walls include a top housing wall, a bottom housing wall, a first housing side wall, a second housing side wall, a third housing side wall, and a fourth housing side wall. The first and second housing side walls are arranged opposite to each other and are fixedly connected to the top and bottom housing walls to form a middle frame. The third and / or fourth housing side walls are detachable housing side walls, respectively covering the opposite two openings of the middle frame. If both the third and fourth housing side walls are detachable, they and the middle frame can be disassembled during tool holder cleaning, allowing for better cleaning of the hard-to-reach areas inside the tool holder housing. Moreover, the middle frame is not detachable and has high strength, which helps to stably support the tool holder and prevent it from loosening.

[0012] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a first connector is provided on one of the middle frame and the detachable housing sidewall, and a second connector is provided on the other, with the first and second connectors magnetically connected. Here, both the first and second connectors can be magnetic, or one can be a magnetic connector and the other a magnetically attractable metal component.

[0013] Furthermore, in some embodiments, one of the mid-frame and the detachable housing sidewall has a recess, and the other has a protrusion, with the protrusion inserted into the recess. This allows for alignment of the protrusion and recess during installation of the housing sidewall, facilitating quick and easy installation. Moreover, the magnetic connection between the mid-frame and the housing sidewall helps to limit the movement of the housing sidewall within its plane.

[0014] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a hollow first connecting post is provided on the inner surface of the detachable housing sidewall, and a first connecting member is disposed within the first connecting post. The first connecting post is configured as a protrusion. A hollow second connecting post is provided on the inner side of the middle frame corresponding to the position of the first connecting post, and a second connecting member is disposed within the second connecting post. The inner diameter of the second connecting post is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting post, and the inner cavity of the second connecting post is configured as a recess. The first connecting post is inserted into the inner cavity of the second connecting post, and the first connecting member and the second connecting member are magnetically attached. In this way, the first connecting post not only serves as a protrusion but also fixes the first connecting member, and the second connecting post not only forms a recess but also fixes the second connecting member, resulting in a compact structure.

[0015] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the tool holder housing is a plastic housing, and the tool holder also includes a metal decorative cover, which is disposed on the outer side of the top wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall of the housing. In this way, the tool holder housing is easy to process and inexpensive; moreover, the metal decorative cover can enhance the metallic texture of the tool holder and improve its aesthetic appearance.

[0016] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the multiple housing walls include a bottom housing wall, a top housing wall, and a side housing wall. A ventilation gap is provided between the bottom inner side of the side housing wall and the bottom housing wall, and the ventilation gap connects the receiving cavity to the outside. The design of the ventilation gap facilitates ventilation between the inside of the tool holder and the outside, allowing water stains inside the tool holder to dry easily. Moreover, the ventilation gap is hidden on the inner side of the side housing wall and is not visible from above or to the side, resulting in a good aesthetic appearance.

[0017] Furthermore, in some embodiments, a boss is provided on the bottom wall of the housing, and the lower edge of the housing sidewall is higher than the lower surface of the bottom wall and lower than the upper surface of the boss. A ventilation gap exists between the side surface of the boss and the inner surface of the housing sidewall. In this way, when the tool holder is placed on the table, the lower opening of the ventilation gap will not be blocked by the table, resulting in good ventilation.

[0018] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the multiple housing walls include a housing bottom wall, a portion of which is recessed downwards to form a water-receiving groove on the inside, or the tool holder also includes a water-receiving tray disposed on the housing bottom wall. This facilitates the collection of water flowing down the tool. Moreover, when the water-receiving groove and the housing bottom wall are integrally formed, it is easier to process, reduces the number of parts, and saves costs. When the water-receiving tray and the housing bottom wall are separate structures, the water-receiving tray can be removed separately after the housing wall is disassembled, and the accumulated water can be poured out, making water emptying convenient.

[0019] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the multiple housing walls include a top housing wall with a mounting opening, and the tool holder also includes a tool holder fixedly installed at the mounting opening. Here, the tool holder is formed separately from the top housing wall and subsequently assembled together, facilitating independent forming and processing.

[0020] Other aspects and / or advantages of the present invention will be set forth in part in the description which follows, and others will be clear from the description or may be learned by practice of the present invention. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The following will combine Figures 1 to 7 This invention introduces a tool holder provided by an embodiment of the present invention.

[0050] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides a tool holder, which includes: a tool holder housing 100, the tool holder housing 100 including a plurality of housing walls, the plurality of housing walls surrounding to form a receiving cavity 101 for inserting a tool, at least one of the plurality of housing walls being detachable; and a sharpener holder 131 disposed in the receiving cavity 101 for holding a sharpener.

[0051] The knife holder provided in this embodiment, by providing a sharpener holder 131 within the receiving cavity 101 of the knife holder housing 100, stores the sharpener inside the receiving cavity 101 without affecting the overall appearance consistency of the knife holder, ensuring its aesthetic appeal and preventing users from not being able to find the sharpener when they need to sharpen their knives. Furthermore, making at least one housing wall of the knife holder housing 100 removable facilitates the removal of the sharpener from the receiving cavity 101 after removing the housing wall. It also allows for cleaning of the interior of the knife holder housing 100 after removing the housing wall. Compared to related technologies where only a small window can be removed from the knife holder housing 100, this allows for better cleaning of the corner areas inside the knife holder housing 100, resulting in better cleaning and preventing long-term accumulation of dirt and mold inside the knife holder housing 100, which could easily cause secondary contamination of kitchen utensils and food.

[0052] Regarding the specific location of the sharpener holder 131, in some embodiments, multiple housing walls include a housing bottom wall 120, a housing top wall 110, and a housing side wall, with the sharpener holder 131 disposed on the housing bottom wall 120 or the housing side wall.

[0053] If the sharpening holder 131 is placed on the bottom wall 120 of the housing, since sharpening tools typically have a certain weight, such as a whetstone, the center of gravity of the tool holder can be lowered, reducing the likelihood of the tool holder tipping over during tool insertion or removal. If the sharpening holder 131 is placed on the side wall of the housing, water droplets from the tools can be prevented from falling onto the sharpening tool, helping to keep the sharpening tool clean.

[0054] In practical applications, the sharpener holder 131 can be kept as far away as possible from the center of the receiving cavity 101 to avoid interference between the tool and the sharpener during tool placement.

[0055] Regarding the specific structure of the sharpener holder 131, further, in some embodiments, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the sharpener holder 131 is a slot provided on the inner surface of the tool holder housing 100. The slot is adapted to the outer contour of the sharpener so that the sharpener is locked in the slot. In this way, on the one hand, it is convenient to quickly install the sharpener into position by aligning it with the slot, improving assembly efficiency; on the other hand, the slot can limit the sharpener, preventing it from moving around in the tool holder housing 100, colliding with the tool, or even damaging the cutting edge of the tool.

[0056] In practical applications, the slot opening can be set upwards, making it convenient for users to take the sharpener from above. Of course, the slot opening can also face horizontally, especially when the tool holder housing 100 includes multiple interconnected housing sidewalls, at least one of which is detachable. In this case, the slot opening can face any of the detachable housing sidewalls, making it convenient to remove the corresponding housing sidewall for taking the sharpener from.

[0057] As an example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two L-shaped baffles are provided on the side wall of the housing, spaced vertically. One L-shaped baffle extends horizontally from the side wall of the housing into the cavity 101 and then bends downwards, while the other L-shaped baffle extends horizontally from the side wall of the housing into the cavity 101 and then bends upwards. A groove is formed between the two L-shaped baffles and the inner surface of the side wall of the housing. The groove structure is simple and easy to manufacture. Furthermore, the spaced distribution of the two L-shaped baffles allows the user to easily reach into the groove through the gap and push the sharpener out, thus facilitating the removal of the sharpener. In addition, one end of each L-shaped baffle can have a sealing plate, and the opposite end can be the opening of the groove, facing the detachable side wall of the housing. This allows the sharpener to be directly pushed into the groove from the opening until it abuts against the sealing plate, facilitating proper installation and reducing the chance of the sharpener falling out.

[0058] Of course, in other embodiments, the sharpener holder 131 can also be other structures, such as a holder box, a clip, etc.

[0059] Furthermore, in some embodiments, at least one opposite side of the housing wall is magnetically or snap-fitted to an adjacent housing wall. The housing walls are easy to assemble and disassemble, thus facilitating the removal and placement of the sharpener and the cleaning of the inside of the tool holder.

[0060] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the tool holder housing 100 includes multiple interconnected housing sidewalls, at least one of which is removable. Thus, after removing the housing sidewall, a large area of ​​the tool holder's interior can be exposed, facilitating cleaning of the corners and edges of the tool holder's interior by the user.

[0061] Specifically, since the cutting tool is typically supported on the top wall 110 of the housing, there are certain requirements for the installation stability of the top wall 110. If the top wall 110 is removable, it will increase the likelihood of loosening, easily leading to unstable tool placement. If the bottom wall 120 is removable, disassembly usually requires inverting the tool holder or lifting the entire tool holder, which is cumbersome. This embodiment makes the side walls of the housing removable, facilitating operation and reducing the impact on tool installation stability.

[0062] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 3As shown, the multiple housing walls include a top housing wall 110, a bottom housing wall 120, a first housing side wall 130, a second housing side wall 140, a third housing side wall 150, and a fourth housing side wall 160. The first housing side wall 130 and the second housing side wall 140 are arranged opposite to each other and are fixedly connected to the top housing wall 110 and the bottom housing wall 120 to form a middle frame. The third housing side wall 150 and the fourth housing side wall 160 are detachable housing side walls, respectively covering the opposite two side openings of the middle frame. In this way, when cleaning the tool holder, the third housing side wall 150, the fourth housing side wall 160, and the middle frame can all be disassembled and cleaned independently, which can better clean the dead corner areas inside the tool holder housing 100.

[0063] Furthermore, the top wall 110, bottom wall 120, first side wall 130, and second side wall 140 of the housing are fixedly connected, forming a quadrilateral frame that cannot be separated. The frame structure has high strength, which helps to stably support the tool holder and prevent it from easily loosening. As an example, the frame is integrally formed, which facilitates machining.

[0064] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the middle frame and the detachable housing sidewall, one is provided with a first connector 181 and the other with a second connector 182. The first connector 181 and the second connector 182 are magnetically connected. Here, both the first connector 181 and the second connector 182 can be magnetic, or one can be a magnetic component and the other a magnetically attractable metal component. For example, the first connector 181 can be a magnet, and the second connector 182 can be an iron sheet or block, etc.

[0065] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in the middle frame and the detachable housing sidewall, one has a recess 172 and the other has a protrusion 171, with the protrusion 171 inserted into the recess 172. This allows for easy alignment of the protrusion 171 and recess 172 during installation of the housing sidewall, facilitating quick and easy installation. Furthermore, the magnetic connection between the middle frame and the housing sidewall helps to limit the movement of the housing sidewall within its plane.

[0066] As an example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a hollow first connecting post is provided on the inner surface of the detachable housing sidewall. A first connecting member 181 is disposed within the first connecting post, and the first connecting post is configured as a protrusion 171. A hollow second connecting post is provided on the inner side of the middle frame corresponding to the position of the first connecting post. A second connecting member 182 is disposed within the second connecting post. The inner diameter of the second connecting post is larger than the outer diameter of the first connecting post, and the inner cavity of the second connecting post is configured as a recess 172. The first connecting post is inserted into the inner cavity of the second connecting post, and the first connecting member 181 and the second connecting member 182 are magnetically attached. In this way, the first connecting post not only serves as the protrusion 171 but also fixes the first connecting member 181, and the second connecting post not only forms the recess 172 but also fixes the second connecting member 182. The structure is compact, and there is no need to set up an additional mounting structure for the first connecting member 181 and the second connecting member 182, which simplifies the structure and facilitates processing.

[0067] In addition, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first connecting post can be positioned at the corner of the detachable housing sidewall, and the second connecting post can be positioned at the inner corner of the middle frame. The placement of the second connecting post helps to improve the structural strength of the middle frame at the corner, thereby improving the structural strength of the tool holder housing 100 and facilitating stable support of the tool by the tool holder housing 100.

[0068] Of course, in other examples, the first connector 181 and the protrusion 171 can be provided separately, and the second connector 182 and the recess 172 can be arranged separately. For example, a first mounting groove can be provided on the inner surface of the housing sidewall, and the first connector 181 can be embedded in the first mounting groove. A second mounting groove can be provided on the middle frame, and the second connector 182 can be embedded in the second mounting groove. After the housing sidewall is installed, the first connector 181 and the second connector 182 magnetically adhere to each other. At the same time, protrusions 171 can be provided at other positions on the housing sidewall, and recesses 172 can be provided at other positions on the middle frame to limit the housing sidewall.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 As shown, the first housing sidewall 130 has notches 132 on both sides near the third housing sidewall 150 and the fourth housing sidewall 160, and the second housing sidewall 140 also has notches 132 on both sides near the third housing sidewall 150 and the fourth housing sidewall 160, so that the user can reach into the notches 132 to pull out the third housing sidewall 150 and the fourth housing sidewall 160, overcome the magnetic connection between the third housing sidewall 150 and the fourth housing sidewall 160 and the middle frame, and disassemble them.

[0070] Furthermore, such as Figure 3As shown, the first housing sidewall 130 and the second housing sidewall 140 extend obliquely, with their top ends close to each other and their bottom ends far apart, thus giving the middle frame a trapezoidal structure that is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. In this way, the sharpener holder 131 can be placed on either the first housing sidewall 130 or the second housing sidewall 140, and the sharpener can be stored in the area of ​​the increased width of the tool holder housing 100, avoiding interference between the sharpener and the cutting tool.

[0071] Of course, in other embodiments, only the third housing sidewall 150 or the fourth housing sidewall 160 may be removable, or the housing bottom wall 120 may be removable, etc. The removable housing wall may also employ the design of the first connector 181, the second connector 182, the protrusion 171, the recess 172, and the notch 132 described above, and be designed in appropriate positions, which will not be described in detail here.

[0072] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the housing walls include a bottom wall 120, a top wall 110, and side walls. A ventilation gap 102 is provided between the bottom inner side of the side wall and the bottom wall 120, connecting the receiving cavity 101 to the outside. The design of the ventilation gap 102 facilitates ventilation between the inside of the tool holder and the outside, allowing water stains inside the tool holder to dry easily. Moreover, the ventilation gap 102 is hidden inside the side wall of the housing and is not visible from above or to the side, resulting in a good aesthetic appearance.

[0073] As an example, such as Figure 3 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, a boss 121 is provided on the bottom wall 120 of the housing. The lower edge of the side wall of the housing is higher than the lower surface of the bottom wall 120 and lower than the upper surface of the boss 121. There is a ventilation gap 102 between the side surface of the boss 121 and the inner surface of the side wall of the housing. In this way, when the tool holder is placed on the table, the lower opening of the ventilation gap 102 will not be blocked by the table, resulting in good ventilation.

[0074] A ventilation gap 102 may be provided between the bottom inner side of the detachable housing sidewall and the bottom wall 120 of the housing, or a ventilation gap 102 may be provided between the bottom inner side of other non-detachable housing sidewalls and the bottom wall 120 of the housing.

[0075] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the housing walls include a bottom wall 120, a portion of which is recessed downwards to form a water receiving groove 122 on the inner side. This design facilitates manufacturing, reduces the number of parts, and saves costs. Furthermore, when disassembling the housing walls to clean the interior of the tool holder housing 100, the water receiving groove 122 can be directly accessed for cleaning, making cleaning convenient.

[0076] As an example, such as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, when the above-mentioned boss 121 is provided on the bottom wall 120 of the housing, the middle part of the boss 121 can be recessed downward to form a water receiving groove 122 on the inner side.

[0077] Of course, in other embodiments, the tool holder may also include a water receiving tray disposed on the bottom wall 120 of the housing. The water receiving tray and the bottom wall 120 of the housing are separate structures. In this way, after the corresponding housing wall is disassembled, the water receiving tray can be directly removed separately, the accumulated water can be poured out and cleaned, which is also more convenient.

[0078] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the multiple housing walls include a housing top wall 110, on which a mounting opening 111 is provided. The tool holder also includes a tool holder 190, which is fixedly installed at the mounting opening 111, for example, by adhesive bonding. The tool holder 190 is formed separately from the housing top wall 110 and then assembled together, which facilitates independent forming and processing.

[0079] As an example, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the tool holder 190 may include a panel 191 and limiting ribs 192 extending downward from the lower surface of the panel 191. The panel 191 is provided with at least one tool insertion hole 1911 for tool insertion. The limiting ribs 192 are distributed on opposite sides of each tool insertion hole 1911 to limit the tool. Specifically, the panel 191 and the limiting ribs 192 can be integrally formed for easy processing. The panel 191 is embedded in the mounting opening 111, and the upper surface of the panel 191 is flush with the top wall 110 of the housing, resulting in a good appearance.

[0080] Furthermore, in some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the tool holder housing 100 is made of plastic, which is easy to process and inexpensive. The tool holder also includes an integrally molded metal decorative cover 200, which covers at least the outer surface of the top wall 110 and the non-removable side wall of the tool holder housing 100, thereby improving the metallic texture and aesthetic appearance of the tool holder.

[0081] If the metal decorative cover 200 covers the top wall 110 of the housing, the metal decorative cover 200 has a clearance hole corresponding to the knife insertion hole 1911 on the knife holder 190, so that the knife can be inserted into the knife insertion hole 1911 through the clearance hole. In addition, the metal decorative cover 200 may not cover the bottom wall 120 of the housing, reducing material usage and saving costs.

[0082] As an example, such as Figure 7 As shown, the metal decorative cover 200 is in the shape of a U-shaped opening facing downwards, covering the outside of the top wall 110 of the housing, the first housing side wall 130, and the second housing side wall 140 of the middle frame.
