Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a grapefruit opener. Background Technology
[0002] Grapefruit is the mature fruit of the pomelo plant (Citrus fulvidraco), a member of the Rutaceae family. It is generally spherical or oblate in shape, with a thick peel and a firm core, making peeling and segmenting difficult. Traditionally, a knife is used to cut an incision in the peel, and the flesh is then peeled by hand, or a special tool or scissors is used. Various specialized peelers have been designed, but even these tools are often only for the incision in the peel, or some are general-purpose for peeling vegetables and fruits (such as apples and pears). While versatile, their complexity makes them inconvenient to use. When peeling, fingers, especially the fingertips, easily turn yellow or dirty, which is often a hassle. Furthermore, when eating the flesh, the thin skin of the segments is opened directly with teeth or other tools. Therefore, this invention provides a grapefruit opener that can easily, efficiently, and safely peel the outer peel and the thin skin of the flesh together without getting hands dirty. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a grapefruit opener that can easily and aesthetically peel off the thick skin and thin skin of the pulp segments of a grapefruit.
[0004] In view of the above, the present invention provides a grapefruit opener, characterized in that it includes a handle body, the handle body comprising:
[0005] The stem removal part is fixedly installed at the front end of the handle body and is used to remove the stem of the grapefruit.
[0006] The peeling part is located on the side wall of the handle body and is used to remove the peel of the grapefruit.
[0007] The peel removal section is located inside the handle body and is used to remove the peel of the pomelo.
[0008] In this technical solution, when using the grapefruit opener, firstly, the stem-removing part is used to remove the stem of the grapefruit. Then, the peel-removing part is used to cut the peel of the grapefruit. After peeling, the segments are opened and placed into the membrane-removing part to cut the membrane. This can easily remove the peel and membrane of the grapefruit pulp.
[0009] Furthermore, the stem-removed portion includes:
[0010] A centering seat is fixedly installed at the front end of the handle body. The centering seat includes a base and a pin perpendicular to the base. The base and the pin are fixedly connected.
[0011] Two cutting blades are circumferentially arranged on the base with the pin as the axis. The cutting blades are used to cut the fruit stem.
[0012] A scraper, which is located at the front end of the centering seat, is used to remove the fruit stem after it has been cut open.
[0013] In this technical solution, the handle body is held by hand, and the centering seat and two cutting blades are inserted into the stem. The pin is used as the axis for the half-rotation of the cutting blade. The two cutting blades are used to make a circular cut on the calyx of the pomelo. By rotating the pomelo and the handle body in opposite directions, a circular cut is formed. The centering seat and cutting blade are pulled out, and then the stem of the pomelo is removed by a scraper according to the lever principle.
[0014] Furthermore, the peeling part includes a peeling knife, which is disposed on the side wall of the handle.
[0015] In this technical solution, when cutting the grapefruit peel, four longitudinal cuts are made from the edge of the circular cut using a peeler to remove the pulp.
[0016] Furthermore, the decapsulation portion includes:
[0017] A storage slot is provided inside the handle body. The shape of the storage slot is adapted to the shape of the grapefruit segments. The storage slot is used to hold grapefruit segments.

[0020] A storage structure is provided for adjusting the garment knife so that the garment knife has at least a working state and a stored state. When the garment knife is in the working state, at least part of the blade is located in the storage slot, and when the garment knife is in the stored state, it is completely stored in the storage slot.
[0021] In this technical solution, the extracted pomelo pulp is separated into individual segments, and the segments are placed in a storage slot. A segment-cutting knife is then placed from the storage structure into the storage slot. The segment-cutting knife will make an incision on one side of the segment, and the segment moves along the length of the storage slot, causing the segment-cutting knife to cut the segment along the incision.
[0022] In this technical solution, the storage structure not only allows for better placement of the pouch petals into the storage slot, but also enables the pouch knife to be stored when the handle is used, thus protecting the user's safety.

[0026] A stop block is fixedly installed on the rotation path of the garment knife where the storage slot and the receiving slot are connected.
[0027] In this technical solution, when in use, the operating block is turned clockwise to make the bag-making knife rotate around the support shaft to the stop block, so that the bag-making knife cuts the bag-making cloth. When storing, the operating block is turned counterclockwise to make the bag-making knife rotate into the storage slot for easy storage.
[0028] Furthermore, the operating block is gear-shaped.
[0029] In this technical solution, the operating block needs to be rotated with the fingers, so the part that the fingers touch is made into a gear shape to prevent the hand from slipping.
[0030] Furthermore, the storage structure includes:
[0031] A sliding groove is formed on the handle body;
[0032] A sliding shaft is slidably disposed on a sliding groove. The sliding shaft is fixedly connected to a garment knife. The sliding shaft is used to slide the garment knife along the length of the sliding groove towards a storage groove or back into a storage groove.
[0033] In this technical solution, during use, the sliding shaft is moved along the length of the sliding groove towards the storage groove, and the cutting blade moves into the storage groove at the same time, and the bag-making knife cuts the bag-making bag. During storage, the support shaft is moved along the length of the sliding groove away from the storage groove, and the cutting blade moves into the storage groove.
[0034] Furthermore, the storage structure includes:
[0035] A rotating shaft passes through the handle body and is rotatably disposed inside the storage slot along the depth direction of the storage slot; the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the bag-making knife.
