Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a knife packaging structure, specifically a quick-access knife packaging structure that can be opened with one hand, belonging to the field of packaging technology. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of machining, cutting tools are key processing tools, and the convenience and functionality of their packaging have a significant impact on production efficiency and tool maintenance. Currently, the most common packaging for machining tools on the market is hard plastic boxes, metal boxes, or simple cardboard boxes.

[0003] In the prior art, such as the knife packaging box with a clamping structure disclosed in announcement number CN222224793U, the fastening screws on the right and left support plates are rotated, so that the fastening screws drive the pressure block to clamp the knife under the action of the slider and the slide rod. This has the advantage of being adjustable according to different sizes of knives. However, the above-mentioned prior art has the following shortcomings: When using the above-mentioned knife packaging box, it is often necessary to use both hands to open the packaging and take out the knife. When taking out the knife, it is also necessary to release the limit relative to the knife in order to take the knife out of the storage slot. The opening and taking out process is relatively cumbersome. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a knife packaging structure that can be opened with one hand for quick access when using the above-mentioned devices to open the packaging and take out the knife. This is because the above-mentioned devices often require both hands to operate when opening the packaging and taking out the knife, and the limit relative to the knife must be released before the knife can be taken out of the storage slot, making the opening and taking out process cumbersome.

[0005] The present invention achieves the above objectives through the following technical solution: a quick-access knife packaging structure that can be opened with one hand, including a box body;

[0006] The box is rectangular in shape and has a storage plate inside. The surface of the storage plate has a storage groove that matches the shape of the knife. One end of the storage groove is inclined downward. An elastic band is fixed inside the box and above the storage plate. The elastic band runs in the opposite direction along the length of the storage plate and abuts against the surface of the storage plate.

[0007] As a further improvement of this utility model: an anti-slip pad is installed in the storage slot, and an arc-shaped pressure pad is installed on the surface of the elastic band. When the tool is in the storage slot, the arc-shaped pressure pad set by the elastic band squeezes the tool and keeps the tool stably in the storage slot.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a matching lid is provided at the opening of the box body, a hinge seat is fixed on the surface of the box body, a rotating shaft is fixed on the surface of the hinge seat, the lid is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, a card plate is fixed on one side of the lid, a fixing rod is installed in a groove opened on one side of the box body, a spring is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod, one end of the spring abuts against a control block slidably connected to the surface of the fixing rod, a locking wedge is fixed on the surface of the control block, and when the lid is closed, the locking wedge limits the card plate.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: a coil spring is fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft, and one end of the coil spring is connected to the box cover.

[0010] As a further improvement of this utility model, an elastic buffer plate is installed inside the box and below the storage plate.

[0011] As a further improvement of this utility model, a viewing window is installed on the surface of the box lid.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This utility model utilizes a combination of structures including a box, a viewing window, a card plate, a storage plate, a storage slot, an anti-slip pad, an elastic band, an arc-shaped pressure pad, a coil spring, a spring, a control block, and a locking wedge. One end of the storage slot is tilted downwards for easy access to and storage of knives. The elastic band abuts against the storage plate, applying pressure to the knives to assist in fixing them and reduce displacement caused by transportation vibrations. The anti-slip pad inside the storage slot increases friction to further prevent the knives from sliding. The arc-shaped pressure pad utilizes the elastic deformation of the elastic band to tightly fit the knives, achieving all-around stable clamping. The elastic buffer plate under the storage plate inside the box can absorb and buffer external forces when the packaging is impacted, protecting the knives from damage.

[0014] The lid and body are connected by a hinge and a pivot, allowing for flexible rotation. The structure is simple and reliable. The locking mechanism, consisting of a locking plate, fixing rod, spring, control block, and locking wedge, allows for one-handed unlocking of the lid by pressing the control block, meeting the need for quick access. A coil spring connected to the pivot automatically drives the lid to open to a certain angle after unlocking, eliminating the need for manual full opening and further enhancing the convenience of one-handed opening and retrieval.

[0015] Combining protection and practicality: The lid fits the box body, providing dust and moisture protection to safeguard the knives from external environmental corrosion. The viewing window on the lid allows users to observe the knives inside without opening the lid, quickly identifying the required knives, avoiding blindly opening the packaging, saving time, and improving retrieval efficiency.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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. Example 1

[0025] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, a quick-access knife packaging structure that can be opened with one hand includes a box body 1;

[0026] The box body 1 is rectangular in shape. Inside the box body 1, there is a storage plate 7. The surface of the storage plate 7 has a storage groove 8 that matches the shape of the knife. One end of the storage groove 8 is inclined downward. Inside the box body 1 and above the storage plate 7, there is an elastic band 11 that runs in the opposite direction along the length of the storage plate 7 and abuts against the surface of the storage plate 7.

[0027] The storage plate 7 has a storage slot 8 that is adapted to the shape of the knife, which can accurately position the knife and prevent it from shaking or colliding inside the box. This protects the knife's cutting edge and surface coating, extending the knife's service life. One end of the storage slot 8 is tilted downwards, making it easier for users to apply force when taking out the knife. Using the lever principle, one end of the knife can be easily lifted for retrieval. At the same time, the tilted design facilitates the smooth sliding of the knife into the slot when storing it. The elastic band 11 abuts against the storage plate 7, which can generate a certain pressure on the knife to help fix it and enhance the stability of the knife in the storage slot 8, reducing the possibility of the knife shifting due to vibration during transportation.

[0028] Furthermore, an anti-slip pad 9 is installed in the storage groove 8, and an arc-shaped pressure pad 12 is installed on the surface of the elastic band 11. When the tool is in the storage groove 8, the arc-shaped pressure pad 12 elastically set by the elastic band 11 squeezes the tool and keeps the tool stably in the storage groove 8.

[0029] The anti-slip pad 9 increases the friction between the tool and the storage slot 8, preventing the tool from sliding laterally or longitudinally in the storage slot 8, and further ensuring the stability of the tool position. The arc-shaped pressure pad 12 fits more tightly with the tool surface and can apply uniform pressure from above. Utilizing the elastic deformation of the elastic band 11, it adapts to tools of different thicknesses, achieving all-round stable clamping of the tool and ensuring reliable fixation of the tool in the storage slot 8.

[0030] Furthermore, a matching lid 2 is provided at the opening of the box body 1. A hinge seat 13 is fixed on the surface of the box body 1, and a rotating shaft 14 is fixed on the surface of the hinge seat 13. The lid 2 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 14. A retaining plate 6 is fixed on one side of the lid 2. A fixing rod 16 is installed in a groove opened on one side of the box body 1. A spring 17 is sleeved on the surface of the fixing rod 16. One end of the spring 17 abuts against a control block 18 that is slidably connected to the surface of the fixing rod 16. A locking wedge 19 is fixed on the surface of the control block 18. When the lid 2 is closed, the locking wedge 19 limits the retaining plate 6.

[0031] The lid 2 is compatible with the box body 1, effectively preventing dust and moisture and protecting the knives from external environmental corrosion. The design of the hinge seat 13 and the pivot 14 allows the lid 2 to rotate and open flexibly. The structure is simple and reliable, easy to manufacture and maintain, and provides a basic connection method for one-handed opening operation. The locking structure composed of the card plate 6, the fixing rod 16, the spring 17, the control block 18 and the locking wedge 19 is easy to operate. It can unlock the lid 2 by pressing the control block 18 with one hand, meeting the need for quick access to knives. When locked, the spring 17 provides pre-tightening force, so that the locking wedge 19 firmly locks the card plate 6, ensuring that the lid 2 will not be accidentally opened during transportation and storage. Example 2

[0032] Improvements based on Example 1:

[0033] Furthermore, a coil spring 15 is fixed to the surface of the rotating shaft 14, and one end of the coil spring 15 is connected to the cover 2.

[0034] After the lid 2 is unlocked, the elastic potential energy stored in the coil spring 15 can automatically drive the lid 2 to flip up at a certain angle, eliminating the need for the user to manually fully open the lid 2, further improving the convenience of opening and taking out the knife with one hand.

[0035] Furthermore, an elastic buffer plate 10 is installed inside the box 1 and below the storage plate 7.

[0036] When the packaging is subjected to external impacts such as collisions or drops, the elastic buffer plate 10 can absorb and buffer the impact force, reduce the external force transmitted to the blade, and protect the blade from damage.

[0037] Furthermore, a viewing window 4 is installed on the surface of the lid 2.

[0038] Users can directly observe the type and appearance of the knives inside the box through the viewing window 4 without opening the box lid 2, quickly identify whether it is the required knife, avoid blindly opening the packaging, save time, and improve the efficiency of taking out the knife.

[0039] Working principle: When the user needs to take out the knife, he / she holds the box 1 with one hand and presses the control block 18 with his / her thumb. The control block 18 slides along the fixed rod 16 and compresses the spring 17. At the same time, it drives the locking wedge block 19 to move backward and release the limit on the card plate 6. At this time, the pre-tightened coil spring 15 releases its elastic potential energy and drives the box cover 2 to automatically flip up a certain angle around the rotating shaft 14 to form an opening that is easy for the fingers to insert.

[0040] After the lid 2 is opened, the user can directly touch the knife in the storage slot 8. Since one end of the storage slot 8 is tilted downward, the user can press their thumb on the surface of the knife at the tilted downward end to apply downward pressure, causing the knife end to sink and tilt further. Using the lever principle, the other end of the knife will tilt upward. At this time, the other fingers can naturally approach and pick up the knife at the tilted end, making it convenient to pick up with one hand.

[0041] When storing the knife, insert the blade along the inclined direction of the storage slot 8. The weight of the knife compresses the elastic band 11, causing it to deform. The arc-shaped pressure pad 12 fits against the surface of the knife and generates an elastic restoring force, thus stabilizing the knife in the storage slot 8. At this time, push the cover 2 to rotate around the pivot 14 to close it. The locking plate 6 presses against the inclined surface of the locking wedge 19, causing the control block 18 to move backward briefly. After the locking plate 6 is fully in the locked position, the spring 17 pushes the locking wedge 19 to reset, completing the automatic locking of the cover 2.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0043] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
