Detailed Implementation
[0018] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.
[0019] The embodiment of this application is as follows:
[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the portable grapefruit opener of this utility model. Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the fixed housing 104 and the rotating sleeve 105 of this utility model. Figure 3 This is a structural schematic diagram of the locking component of this utility model. Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the pin 112 and the sliding sleeve 113 of this utility model.
[0021] This utility model discloses a portable grapefruit peeler, comprising a blade body 101, a handle 102, a connecting block 103, a fixed housing 104, a rotating sleeve 105, a connecting arm 106, a sliding protrusion 107, a sliding groove 108, a through groove 109, a gear ring 110, a gear 111, a pin 112, a sliding sleeve 113, a spring 114, a limiting groove 115, a limiting protrusion 116, and a button 117. It solves the problem of existing peeling knives being too large to fold, making them inconvenient to carry. It also addresses the issue of large-sized medicinal herb slices. It is understood that the aforementioned solution can also be used to improve convenience.
[0022] In this embodiment, the blade body 101 is a prior art technology, and the handle 102 is a cylinder made of stainless steel. Through the folding assembly, the blade body 101 and the handle 102 can be folded, thereby reducing the volume and making it convenient to carry. This solves the problem that the prior art peeling knife is too large to be folded, making it inconvenient to carry.
[0023] The connecting block 103 is fixedly connected to the handle 102 and located at one end of the handle 102; the fixed housing 104 is fixedly connected to the connecting block 103 and located on the side of the connecting block 103 away from the handle 102; the rotating sleeve 105 is rotatably connected to the fixed housing 104 and located inside the fixed housing 104; the two ends of the connecting arm 106 are fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 105 and the blade body 101 respectively; the locking member limits the rotation of the rotating sleeve 105; the connecting block 103 is welded to the end of the handle 102; the fixed housing 104 is a hollow cylinder welded to the connecting block 103; the connecting block 103 allows the fixed housing 104 to be firmly connected to the handle 102; the rotating sleeve 105 is a cylinder with open ends; and both ends of the rotating sleeve 105 are provided with sliding protrusions 107. The inner wall of the fixed housing 104 is provided with a groove 108 that matches the sliding protrusion 107. Through the cooperation of the sliding protrusion 107 and the groove 108, the rotating sleeve 105 can rotate within the fixed housing 104. A through groove 109 is provided on the periphery of the fixed housing 104. One end of the connecting arm 106 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the rotating sleeve 105, and the other end passes through the through groove 109 and is connected to the blade body 101, so that the blade body 101 can rotate with the rotation of the rotating sleeve 105. The locking member is used to lock the rotating sleeve 105, which facilitates the opening and closing of the blade body 101. By setting the folding component between the blade body 101 and the handle 102, the peeling knife can be folded, which solves the problem that the peeling knife is not foldable due to its large overall size in the prior art, making it inconvenient to carry.
[0024] Secondly, the gear ring 110 is fixedly connected to the rotating sleeve 105 and located inside the rotating sleeve 105; the gear 111 is mounted inside the fixed housing 104 via the support member and meshes with the gear ring 110; the support member is mounted inside the fixed housing 104 and supports the gear 111; the gear ring 110 is located on the inner wall of the rotating sleeve 105, the gear ring 110 has internal teeth, and the gear 111 is mounted inside the fixed housing 104 via the support member. The component can provide elastic support for the gear 111, allowing the gear 111 to move and thus control the state of the gear 111. This enables selective engagement with the gear ring 110. When the gear 111 is engaged with the gear ring 110, the rotating sleeve 105 cannot rotate. When the gear 111 disengages from the gear ring 110, the rotating sleeve 105 can rotate. By controlling the engagement of the gear 111 with the gear ring 110, the rotating sleeve 105 can be locked.
[0025] Meanwhile, the pin 112 is fixedly connected to the fixed housing 104 and located on the side of the fixed housing 104 near the gear 111; the sliding sleeve 113 is sleeved on the outside of the pin 112 and slidably connected to the pin 112, and fixedly connected to the gear 111; the spring 114 is sleeved on the outside of the pin 112 and located between the fixed housing 104 and the gear 111. The pin 112 is a cylinder, and one end of the pin 112 is connected to the fixed housing 104. The inner wall of the end of the housing 104 is connected to the sliding sleeve 113, which is sleeved on the pin 112 and can slide on the pin 112. The gear 111 is sleeved on the outside of the sliding sleeve 113 and moves with the movement of the sliding sleeve 113. One end of the spring 114 contacts the inner wall of the end of the fixed housing 104, and the other end contacts the gear 111. Through the pin 112, the sliding sleeve 113 and the spring 114, the gear 111 is elastically supported.
[0026] In addition, the limiting groove 115 is located on the side of the pin 112 near the sliding sleeve 113; the limiting protrusion 116 cooperates with the pin 112, the limiting groove 115 is opened along the length direction of the pin 112, and the limiting protrusion 116 is located on the inner wall of the sliding sleeve 113. Through the cooperation of the limiting protrusion 116 and the limiting groove 115, the sliding sleeve 113 is limited, thereby preventing the sliding sleeve 113 from rotating.
[0027] Finally, the button 117 extends into the fixed housing 104 and is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 113. A through hole is provided at the end of the fixed housing 104. The button 117 is fixedly installed on the sliding sleeve 113 and extends out from the through hole. Pressing the button 117 downward will drive the gear 111 to move downward and disengage from the gear ring 110. Releasing the button 117 will allow the gear 111 to move upward under the elastic force of the spring 114 and engage with the gear ring 110. The movement of the gear 111 can be controlled by the button 117, thereby controlling the locking of the rotating sleeve 105.
[0028] In this embodiment, when the blade body 101 needs to be opened, press and hold the button 117. The gear 111 moves downward and disengages from the gear ring 110. At this time, the rotating sleeve 105 is in the unlocked state and can be rotated. After the blade body 101 is rotated open, release the button 117. Under the elastic force of the spring 114, the gear 111 moves upward and engages with the gear ring 110, thereby locking the rotating sleeve 105. The blade body 101 cannot be rotated and can then be used. When folding and storing, press and hold the button 117. The rotating sleeve 105 is in the unlocked state. Rotate the blade body 101 to fold it. Then, release the button 117. The gear 111 engages with the gear ring 110, locking the rotating sleeve 105. The blade body 101 cannot be rotated, completing the folding and storage. This application achieves the folding of the peeling knife by setting the folding component between the knife body 101 and the handle 102, thereby reducing its size and solving the problem that the peeling knife is inconvenient to carry because the overall size of the existing peeling knife is too large to be folded.
[0029] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
