Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pencil sharpener technology, and in particular to a single-hole pencil sharpener. Background Technology
[0002] A pencil sharpener (also called a pencil trimmer) is a tool used to sharpen pencils. Its basic function is to remove the wooden outer shell of the pencil, exposing the lead, so that it can be used for writing or drawing. Pencil sharpeners come in two common forms: manual and automatic.
[0003] With the increasing demand from society, existing pencil sharpeners are gradually moving towards automatic models to improve speed and efficiency. However, automatic pencil sharpeners still have room for improvement: (1) the structure of existing automatic pencil sharpeners is too complex, with all the scattered parts being housed in one chamber; (2) due to the fixed internal assembly, it is impossible to effectively clean up the debris after sharpening; and (3) the sharpening part is difficult to replace, which leads to a gradual decline in the sharpening effect after long-term use.

The pencil is provided with an insertion hole 9, through which the pencil can be inserted into the pencil sharpening assembly 6; the pencil sharpening assembly 6 includes a blade holder 10, which includes a frame 11, and the frame 11 contains an inverted conical hole 12. The side wall of the inverted conical hole 12 contains a blade 13, and there is a gap between the blade 13 and the side wall of the inverted conical hole 12; the upper end of the blade holder 10 is provided with an assembly plate 14, and a slider 15 extends from the outside of the assembly plate 14. The top of the second partition 3 is provided with an annular channel 16, and the slider 15 is located in the annular channel 16 and can slide in an annular manner.
[0024] The main technology lies in the reasonable spatial distribution within the cylinder 1; specifically, it consists of a first partition 2, a second partition 3, and a third partition 4. The first partition 2 is enclosed: it houses a drive assembly 5, a battery compartment 21, and a positioning part 22, as shown in the figure. The positioning part 22 is used to assemble the drive assembly 5 and prevent excessive vibration of the drive assembly 5 during operation. The bottom of the cylinder 1 has an opening that communicates with the outside. The opening is connected to the battery compartment 21, and the battery can be replaced using the bottom opening, thereby providing power to the drive assembly 5.
[0025] The second partition 3 is located to the side of the first partition 2, with an opening at the top that connects to the outside. The upper cover 8 can be assembled to close the second partition or open the second partition 3. The assembly of the upper cover 8 mainly involves a sliding track at the top of the first partition 2 and the second partition 3 that are spliced together. The sliding track is equipped with a buckle. The lower annular wall of the upper cover 8 is equipped with a snap-fit part that matches the buckle (the snap-fit part has a protrusion inside.
