The sharpener, capable of adapting to the sharpening angle, includes a housing 1 composed of a first housing 2 and a second housing 3. A sharpening groove 1003 is provided on the top of the housing 1. A first blade retainer 5 is rotatably mounted on the rear side of one end of the inner cavity of the housing 1, and a second blade retainer 4 is rotatably mounted on the front side of the other end of the inner cavity of the housing 1. A gripping groove 8 is provided on the housing 1, and an indicator 15 is provided on the surface of the housing 1 to indicate the angle during the sharpening process.

[0022] The opposite sides of the first blade retainer 5 and the second blade retainer 4 extend movably into the inner cavity of the grinding groove 1003 and are fixedly connected to the grinding blade 101. The inner cavity of the housing 1 is provided with a transmission structure that drives the first blade retainer 5 to deflect in the opposite direction when the second blade retainer 4 deflects.

[0023] The transmission structure includes a half-tooth component 14 and a gear 13. The gear 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the second blade clip 4, and the half-tooth component 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first blade clip 5 and meshes with the gear 13.

[0024] The bottom of the first blade retainer 5 and the second blade retainer 4 are provided with half-tooth parts 14 and gears 13 with the same parameters and dimensions, that is, the module, pressure angle, number of teeth, base circle and other parameters are the same, and they mesh with each other in a fixed position.

[0025] Both ends of the inner cavity of the housing 1 are fixedly connected to the fixing groove 1001. Springs 102 are provided between the outer side of the second blade clip 4 and the outer end of the inner wall of the fixing groove 1001 at the same end, and between the outer side of the first blade clip 5 and the outer end of the inner wall of the fixing groove 1001 at the same end.

[0026] Both the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 have limiting posts 203 adapted to the spring 102 on their surfaces.

[0027] The two springs 102 have the same parameters, namely, the wire diameter, number of turns, outer diameter, length, and spring constant of the springs 102 are the same.

[0028] Insert the grinding blade 101 into the blade slots 1002 on the second blade holder 4 and the first blade holder 5 respectively, and then use the bolt fastener 6 to press into the blade holder to fix the grinding blade 101 on the blade holder.

[0029] Align the positioning hole 202 on the second blade clip 4 with the blade clip positioning post 201 on the first housing 2 and insert it. Align the inner diameter of the spring 102 with the limiting post 203 on the second blade clip 4 and insert it. Compress the other end of the spring 102 against the edge of the fixing groove 1001 on the first housing 2. Then align the positioning hole 202 on the first blade clip 5 with the blade clip positioning post 201 on the second housing 3 and insert it. Align the inner diameter of the spring 102 with the limiting post 203 on the first blade clip 5 and insert it.

[0032] When sharpening the knife, the blade contacts the left and right sharpening blades 101. The downward force of the blade causes the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 to move around the blade retainer positioning post 201, respectively. After compressing the spring 102, they spring back in opposite directions. At the same time, two gears 13 and half-tooth pieces 14 with the same parameters on the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 mesh with each other, so that the included angle of the two blade retainers springing back around the axis is the same.

[0033] Under the same force from the two springs 102, the included angle force received by both sides of the cutting edge of the knife is kept the same during sharpening, so that the angle of the cutting edge of the knife basically matches the adaptive angle of the sharpener of this utility model, which greatly improves the sharpening efficiency.

[0034] The inner wall of the second housing 3 is fixedly connected with several snap-fit ​​posts 9, and the inner wall of the first housing 2 is fixedly connected with several snap-fit ​​cylinders 10 that are adapted to the snap-fit ​​posts 9.

[0035] A number of first reinforcing ribs 11 are fixedly connected between the side wall of the snap-fit ​​post 9 and the inner wall of the second housing 3, and a number of second reinforcing ribs 12 are fixedly connected between the side wall of the snap-fit ​​cylinder 10 and the inner wall of the first housing 2.

[0036] Positioning posts 201 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the first shell 2 and the second shell 3. The inner walls of the first shell 2 and the second shell 3 are provided with shell positioning holes 204. Anti-slip pads 7 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the receiving shell 1.

[0037] Both the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 have slots 1002 that are adapted to the grinding blade 101 on their surfaces. Both the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 have screws 6 that detachably contact the surface of the grinding blade 101.

[0038] The working principle of the self-adaptive tool sharpening angle sharpener provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0039] The second blade retainer 4 mounted on the first housing 2 and the first blade retainer 5 mounted on the second housing 3 are equipped with gears 13 and half-tooth pieces 14 with the same parameters. Under the elastic force of the spring 102, the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 are fixed on the housing cover. Through the pressing of the first housing 2 and the second housing 3, the gears 13 and half-tooth pieces 14 on the two blade retainers mesh with each other at a fixed reset angle. When sharpening the blade, the blade contacts the sharpening blades 101 on the left and right sides. The downward force of the blade will cause the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 to move around the blade retainer positioning post 201 respectively. After compressing the spring 102, they will spring open in the opposite direction. At the same time, the two gears 13 and half-tooth pieces 14 with the same parameters on the second blade retainer 4 and the first blade retainer 5 mesh with each other, so that the included angle of the left and right blade retainers springing open around the axis is the same. Under the action of the same force of the springs 102 on both sides, the included angle force received by both sides of the blade edge is the same during sharpening, so that the angle of the blade edge is basically consistent with the adaptive angle of the sharpener of this utility model, which greatly improves the sharpening efficiency.

[0040] Compared with related technologies, the tool sharpener with adaptive tool sharpening angle provided by this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0041] By simultaneously opening the second blade retainer 4 on one side, and driven by the rotation of gear 13 and half-tooth component 14, the first blade retainer 5 opens in the opposite direction at the same rotation angle. This ensures that the included angle remains centered and equal, preventing uneven cutting edges during sharpening. It also ensures that the spring force on both sides is the same during sharpening, guaranteeing that the tool is always sharpened under the same clamping force of the two blade retainers. This increases the stability of sharpening, makes the sharpening angle fit more closely to the cutting edge, improves sharpening efficiency, reduces the time spent on sharpening operations, and facilitates subsequent work.
