Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a tool for cleaning and removing the calyx of fruits, and more particularly to a tool for cleaning and removing the calyx of blueberries. Background Technology

[0002] Fruit is an indispensable part of people's lives, but the calyx of many fruits, due to its concave structure, is extremely prone to accumulating dirt and grime, such as pesticide residues, insect eggs, and long-term dust accumulation. While the calyx of some fruits may harbor dirt and grime, it doesn't significantly impact health because people don't consume this part. However, the calyx of some fruits, like blueberries, is often consumed due to its unique characteristics. Blueberries come in many varieties, and besides the aforementioned health risks, it's particularly important to note that some blueberry varieties don't shed their petals and pistils naturally. If the blueberries grow in a humid environment, over time, these petals and pistils inside the calyx can rot and mold, contaminating the fruit skin. If people eat these contaminated calyxes without removing them, the mold-contaminated blueberry calyx can seriously affect their health. Importantly, this type of contaminated calyx is common in blueberries. Currently, there are no products specifically designed for cleaning and removing the calyx of blueberries, and ordinary knives are generally too large to be used for cleaning and removing the calyx, or they cannot fit the shape of blueberry calyxes of various sizes. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, and considering the significant differences in calyx size among various fruits, a product with a controllable effective range of action is needed to effectively cut, clean, and remove blueberry calyxes. The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a blueberry calyx cleaning and removal tool. The technical solution adopted by this invention includes a handle, a connecting rod, and a blade body. The handle and blade body are connected by a connecting rod, or the handle and blade body are directly connected without a connecting rod. The blade body is generally elliptical in shape, and is either a hollow blade or a continuous solid body, with a cutting edge whose overall direction aligns with the edge of the blade body.

[0004] Furthermore, when the blade body is a hollow blade, the blade edge can be set in one direction or in two directions; when the blade body is a continuous solid body, the blade edge can be set on a single edge or on both edges, and the solid part of the blade body is straight or concave.

[0005] Furthermore, the thickness of the blade body is between 0.02cm and 0.2cm, the width is between 0.3cm and 3cm, and the length is between 0.5cm and 5cm.

[0006] Furthermore, the blade body can also be S-shaped or heart-shaped.

[0007] Preferably, the handle is between 2cm and 20cm in length and is cylindrical or cuboid in shape.

[0008] Preferably, the handle, connecting rod, and blade body can be made of the same or different materials.

[0009] Preferably, the handle, connecting rod, and blade can be made of metal, plastic, or ceramic.
