[0052] Example 1
[0053] Figure 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the utility knife provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 2 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of the utility knife provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 3 shows a top view of the utility knife provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 4 shows a partial schematic diagram of the structure of the utility knife provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 5 shows a partial schematic diagram of the structure of the utility knife provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Figure 6 shows a partial schematic diagram of the structure of the utility knife provided in Embodiment 1 of the present invention. Referring to Figures 1-3, this embodiment provides a utility knife. The utility knife includes a shell 100, a knife holder 200, a push button structure 300, an elastic element 400, and a blade 500.
[0054] Specifically, the outer casing 100 has a first opening 110 on its side ridge and a second opening 120 on its top. The blade holder 200 is disposed within the outer casing 100, and the elastic element 400 is connected to the push button structure 300, a portion of which extends out of the first opening 110. The blade 500 is movably disposed within the blade holder 200, connected to the push button structure 300, and can extend or retract into the second opening 120 along the length of the outer casing 100. In other words, by providing the aforementioned outer casing 100, the blade holder 200, the push button structure 300, the elastic element 400, and the blade 500 can be protected, and the user's hand can be kept away from the blade 500 to prevent cuts.
[0055] More specifically, a meshing tooth 210 is provided on one side of the knife holder 200. The meshing tooth 210 extends along the length of the outer casing 100, and the plane of the meshing tooth 210 is perpendicular to the plane of the side surface of the blade 500. A portion of the elastic element 400 can engage with the meshing tooth 210. The elastic element 400 can also disengage from the meshing tooth 210 in a direction parallel to the plane of the side surface of the blade 500, driven by the movement of the push button structure 300 along the length of the outer casing 100. In other words, the push button structure 300 can be positioned and locked at any position on the knife holder 200 through the elastic element 400, and because the push button structure 300 can extend from the side ridge of the outer casing 100, the utility knife is ambidextrous. The push button structure 300 also allows for manual extension and retraction of the blade 500. By setting the plane of the meshing teeth 210 to be perpendicular to the plane of the blade 500, the structural strength and reliability of the meshing teeth 210 can be improved, and the position locking of the blade 500 and the reliability of the utility knife can be guaranteed.
[0056] Referring again to Figures 4 and 5, the tool holder 200 is also provided with a limiting portion 220. On the side of the tool holder 200 opposite to the meshing tooth portion 210, the limiting portion 220 is folded to form a limiting space. One side of the blade 500 can be accommodated in the limiting space to prevent the blade 500 from swinging relative to the tool holder 200 and to ensure the smoothness of the blade 500 when it extends and retracts relative to the housing 100.
[0057] Referring to Figures 2 and 3, the utility knife also includes a breaker 700. The breaker 700 is detachably connected to the end of the housing 100 away from the second opening 120 via a quick-release connector or similar means. The breaker 700 has a breaker slot 710; by inserting a portion of the blade 500 into the breaker slot 710 and then bending the blade 500, the damaged portion of the blade 500 can be broken off.
[0058] Figure 7 is a schematic diagram of the sliding seat provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model; Figure 8 is a schematic diagram of the elastic element and push button structure provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model. Referring to Figures 7 and 8, the utility knife also includes a sliding seat 600. The sliding seat 600 is slidably accommodated in the knife holder 200 along the length direction of the outer shell 100 and connected to the push button structure 300. The elastic element 400 is located between the sliding seat 600 and the push button structure 300, and the blade 500 is connected to the sliding seat 600. By setting the sliding seat 600, the push button structure 300 and the elastic element 400 can be connected and integrated, and connected to the blade 500, so that the push button structure 300 drives the blade 500.
[0059] Specifically, the sliding seat 600 has a first latching member 610 on the side facing the push button structure 300. The push button structure 300 has a second latching member 350 on the side facing the sliding seat 600, and the first latching member 610 can abut against and latch with the second latching member 350.
[0060] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 6-8, there are four first latching members 610, which are spaced apart to form a rectangular array. Each first latching member 610 has a protruding first latching portion at its end. In Figure 7, the first latching portions of the two upper first latching members 610 protrude upwards, and the first latching portions of the two lower first latching members 610 protrude downwards. Correspondingly, there are four second latching members 350, which are spaced apart to form a rectangular array. Each second latching member 350 has a protruding second latching portion at its end. In Figure 8, the second latching portions of the two upper second latching members 350 protrude downwards, and the second latching portions of the two lower second latching members 350 protrude upwards. The first engaging portion of the upper first engaging member 610 can engage with the second engaging portion of the upper second engaging member 350; the first engaging portion of the lower first engaging member 610 can engage with the second engaging portion of the lower second engaging member 350. The side of the first engaging portion facing the slide base 600 and the side of the second engaging portion facing the push button structure 300 abut against each other. Through the engaging connection between the first engaging member 610 and the second engaging member 350, the assembly, connection, and disassembly of the slide base 600 and the push button structure 300 are facilitated.
[0061] More specifically, referring to Figures 5-7, the sliding seat 600 has a peripheral positioning part 620 and an internal positioning part 630 on the side facing the push button structure 300. An elastic element positioning space is formed between the peripheral positioning part 620 and the internal positioning part 630. The elastic element 400 is installed in this elastic element positioning space, and the internal positioning part 630 and the peripheral positioning part 620 respectively abut against opposite sides of the elastic element 400. The elastic element 400 is an annular structure with a rounded rectangular cross-section formed by bending a spring sheet. Triangular protrusions 410 are formed on both sides of the opening of the annular structure.
[0062] More specifically, in this embodiment, the internal positioning part 630 includes a plurality of first protrusions, and the peripheral positioning part 620 includes a plurality of second protrusions. The plurality of first protrusions can abut against the inner side of the elastic element 400, and the plurality of second protrusions can abut against the outer side of the elastic element 400. Under the action of the peripheral positioning part 620 and the internal positioning part 630, the elastic element 400 can be reliably mounted on the sliding seat 600.
[0063] More specifically, referring to Figures 4-6, the sliding seat 600 is provided with a connecting post 640, and the blade 500 has a connecting hole 510, with the connecting post 640 passing through the connecting hole 510. Through the cooperation of the connecting post 640 and the connecting hole 510, a reliable connection between the blade 500 and the sliding seat 600 can be achieved, and the replacement of the blade 500 can be facilitated.
[0064] More specifically, referring to Figure 6, a limiting member 650 is provided on the sliding base 600. The limiting member 650 has a rectangular block structure, forming a blade limiting space 660 between itself and the sliding base 600. A portion of the end of the blade 500 can be inserted into and fixed in the blade limiting space 660. Through the aforementioned limiting member 650, the connection reliability between the blade 500 and the sliding base 600 can be further improved, and the stability of the blade 500 during use can be guaranteed.
[0065] Figure 9 is a front view of the elastic element and push button structure provided in Embodiment 1 of this utility model; Figure 10 is a partial enlarged view of the structure marked A in Figure 9. Referring to Figures 5, 8, 9, and 10, the push button structure 300 includes a push button base 310. A first pushing portion 320 and a second pushing portion 330 are formed on the push button base 310. The first pushing portion 320 and the second pushing portion 330 are spaced apart along the length of the housing 100. A first inclined guide surface 321 and a second inclined guide surface 331 are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the first pushing portion 320 and the second pushing portion 330. The protrusion 410 is sandwiched between the first inclined guide surface 321 and the second inclined guide surface 331. Along the direction parallel to the paper and upward in Figure 10, both the first inclined guide surface 321 and the second inclined guide surface 331 gradually approach the protrusion 410. During the process of the blade 500 extending out of the second opening 120, the first inclined guide surface 321 presses against the protrusion 410 to disengage from the meshing tooth 210. During the process of the blade 500 retracting into the second opening 120, the second inclined guide surface 331 presses against the protrusion 410 to disengage from the meshing tooth 210.
[0066] Specifically, the two protrusions 410 of the elastic element 400 are spaced apart along the length of the housing 100. Correspondingly, there are also two first pushing parts 320 and two second pushing parts 330. During the process of the blade 500 extending out of the second opening 120, the two first pushing parts 320 can act on the two protrusions 410 respectively; during the process of the blade 500 retracting into the second opening 120, the two second pushing parts 330 can act on the two protrusions 410 respectively. Through the above arrangement, the connection reliability between the elastic element 400 and the meshing tooth 210 can be improved.
[0067] More specifically, the push button structure 300 also includes a push button body 340, which is connected to the push button seat 310 and can extend out of the first opening 110.
[0068] Preferably, the side ridge of the housing 100 is provided with a push button receiving groove 130 along its length. The first opening 110 is formed at the bottom of the push button receiving groove 130, and the push button body 340 can be received in the push button receiving groove 130 and slide within the push button receiving groove 130. The push button receiving groove 130 can limit the movement of the push button body 340, ensuring the smooth extension and retraction of the blade 500.
[0069] More specifically, referring to Figure 3, the push button body 340 is symmetrical in the thickness direction of the outer casing 100. This design facilitates use not only by right-handed users but also by left-handed users, making the utility knife ambidextrous.
[0070] Example 2
[0071] This embodiment provides a utility knife.
[0072] Figure 11 shows a partial structural schematic diagram of the utility knife provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention; Figure 12 shows a schematic diagram of the elastic element and push button structure provided in Embodiment 2 of the present invention. Referring to Figures 11 and 12, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the structure of the elastic element 400 in this embodiment is different from that in Embodiment 1.
[0073] In this embodiment, the elastic element 400 is an annular structure with an opening formed by bending a spring sheet. The elastic element 400 has two side elastic portions that are inclined along the length of the outer casing 100, and the distance between the two side elastic portions gradually decreases along the direction close to the opening. On both sides of the opening of the annular structure, that is, at the ends of the two side elastic portions, protrusions 410 with a triangular cross-section are formed respectively.
[0074] Specifically, in this embodiment, there is one first pushing part 320 and one second pushing part 330. The first pushing part 320 and the second pushing part 330 are arranged in the length direction of the outer shell 100. The first inclined guide surface 321 of the first pushing part 320 abuts against the side of the first protrusion 410 away from the second protrusion 410, and the second inclined guide surface 331 of the second pushing part 330 abuts against the side of the second protrusion 410 away from the first protrusion 410.
[0075] As the blade 500 extends out of the second opening 120, the first inclined guide surface 321 of the first pushing part 320 presses against the first protrusion 410 to disengage from the meshing tooth 210. The inclined side of the second protrusion 410 moves under the pressure of the meshing tooth 210, similarly disengaging from the meshing tooth 210. As the blade 500 retracts into the second opening 120, the second inclined guide surface 331 of the second pushing part 330 presses against the second protrusion 410 to disengage from the meshing tooth 210. The inclined side of the first protrusion 410 moves under the pressure of the meshing tooth 210, similarly disengaging from the meshing tooth 210.
[0076] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the protection scope of this utility model. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
