[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0036] Reference Figures 2-4This utility model provides an embodiment of a special cutter for opening cotton swabs, including a first handle 1 and a second handle 2. The upper surface of the first handle 1 has a first mounting hole 3, and the upper surface of the second handle 2 has a second mounting hole 4. A hinge assembly 7 for hinged connection between the second mounting hole 4 and the first mounting hole 3 is provided. The hinge assembly 7 includes a hinge post 71, the outer periphery of which is fitted between the inner walls of the second mounting hole 4 and the first mounting hole 3. A first rotating clip 72 is fixedly connected to the upper edge of the outer wall of the hinge post 71, and a second rotating clip 73 is fixedly connected to the lower edge of the outer wall of the hinge post 71. The outer walls of the first rotating clip 72 and the second rotating clip 73 are adapted to the dimensions of the inner walls of the second mounting hole 4 and the first mounting hole 3. A hanging hole 74 is provided on the upper surface of the hinge post 71. A first cutting blade 5 is fixedly connected to the surface of the first handle 1, and a positioning rod 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the first handle 1. The upper surface of the handle 2 is provided with a positioning groove 9. The outer wall of the positioning rod 8 is slidably connected to the inside of the positioning groove 9 for the opening and closing orientation limit of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 for cutting. The second cutting blade 6 is fixedly connected to the surface of the second handle 2. The surfaces of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 are provided with a hand grip groove 10 with a groove structure for anti-slip hand grip for cutting. Through the hinge assembly 7, the positioning rod 8, and the positioning groove 9, and using the first mounting hole 3 and the second mounting hole 4 on the first handle 1 and the second handle 2, the hinge column 71 with the first rotating clamp 72 and the second rotating clamp 73 is assembled, so that the first cutting blade 5 and the second cutting blade 6 can be gripped through the hand grip groove 10 and slide smoothly tangentially along the direction of the positioning groove 9. This makes it easy for medical staff to fix the size of the opening of the cotton swab packaging bag for cutting. The whole cutter can be carried by attaching a rope through the hanging hole 74. The small and portable cutting tool is convenient to use.
[0037] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4The second handle 2 is provided with an opening and closing adjustment component 11. The opening and closing adjustment component 11 for adjusting the opening and closing of the first handle 1 and the second handle 2 includes a slide groove 111. The slide groove 111 is opened on the upper surface of the second handle 2. A sliding clip 113 is slidably connected inside the slide groove 111. A sliding seat 112 is fixedly connected to the end of the sliding clip 113. The sliding seat 112 is movably engaged with the outer surface of the second handle 2. Anti-slip ridges 114 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the sliding seat 112. Multiple anti-slip ridges 114 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the sliding seat 112. Through the opening and closing adjustment component 11, the sliding seat 112 installed at the slide groove 111 by the sliding clip 113 can be moved according to the usage requirements of the first shearing blade 5 and the second shearing blade 6. Therefore, when not in use, the first shearing blade 5 and the second shearing blade 6 can be slidably locked closed, which can effectively avoid the safety problem of scratches on the first shearing blade 5 and the second shearing blade 6.
[0038] Working principle: In use, the sliding seat 112 is moved along the slide groove 111 to the side near the hinge assembly 7. The hinge column 71 with the first rotating clip 72 and the second rotating clip 73 is assembled through the first mounting hole 3 and the second mounting hole 4 on the first handle 1 and the second handle 2. In this way, the first cutting blade 5 and the second cutting blade 6 can be smoothly slid by the hand-held pinch groove 10 to achieve tangential operation, which makes it convenient for medical staff to fix the size of the opening of the cotton swab packaging bag for cutting. In addition, a rope can be assembled through the hanging hole 74 to make the whole cutter easy to carry. When not in use, the sliding seat 112 is moved along the slide groove 111 to the side near the first cutting blade 5 to lock the first cutting blade 5 and the second cutting blade 6 in a closed state, effectively preventing the safety hazard of scratches.
[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
