Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigar-using equipment technology, and in particular to a cigar cutter and a cigar cutter. Background Technology

[0002] A cigar cutter is a tool used to cut the ends of a cigar before use. Cigar cutters typically use metal blades. Because cigars contain corrosive nicotine, the nicotine corrodes and oxidizes the metal blade over time, causing it to rust. Rusty metal blades leave fine iron oxide residue on the cigar, negatively impacting its flavor. Furthermore, rust dulls the blade, affecting the cutting quality and resulting in a cigar cutter that is easily damaged and produces poor cuts. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a cigar cutter and cigar cutter to address the problems of easy damage and poor cutting quality of cigar cutters.

[0004] This utility model provides a cigar cutter, comprising:

[0005] A tool holder, comprising a first support and a second support, the first support and the second support being movably connected;

[0006] The cutter includes a first blade and a second blade. The first blade is detachably mounted on the first bracket, and the second blade is detachably mounted on the second bracket. The first blade has a first cutting edge, and the second blade has a second cutting edge. The first cutting edge and the second cutting edge are arranged opposite to each other so that the first bracket and the second bracket drive the first blade and the second blade to cut in opposite directions.

[0007] In one embodiment, the first bracket has a first notch and a first groove on the side near the first notch, and the side of the first blade away from the first cutting edge is embedded in the first groove. The second bracket has a second notch and a second groove on the side near the second notch, and the side of the second blade away from the second cutting edge is embedded in the second groove.

[0008] In one embodiment, one end of the first bracket is provided with a first connecting hole, and one end of the second bracket is provided with a second connecting hole. The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are used to connect with a connecting shaft so that the first bracket and the second bracket are rotatably connected through the connecting shaft.

[0009] In one embodiment, both the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole are oblong holes.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first bracket has a positioning hole at the end away from the first connection hole.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first blade and the first tool holder are connected by a first curing adhesive, and the second blade and the second tool holder are connected by a second curing adhesive; or, the first blade and the first tool holder are connected by a first fastener, and the second blade and the second tool holder are connected by a second fastener.

[0012] In one embodiment, the first cutting edge includes a first coarse edge and a first fine edge, with the first fine edge superimposed on the first coarse edge; the second cutting edge includes a second coarse edge and a second fine edge, with the second fine edge superimposed on the second coarse edge.

[0013] In one embodiment, both the first cutting edge and the second cutting edge are concave arcs.

[0014] In one embodiment, both the first blade and the second blade are made of ceramic.

[0015] This utility model also provides a cigar cutter, including a frame and a cigar cutter according to any of the above embodiments. The frame is provided with a connecting shaft and a positioning post. The first connecting hole and the second connecting hole of the cigar cutter are connected to the connecting shaft, and the positioning hole of the cigar cutter is connected to the positioning post.

[0016] The aforementioned cigar cutter and cigar cutter, by arranging the first notch of the first support and the second notch of the second support opposite each other, detachably mount the first blade in the first notch and the second blade in the second notch. When using the cigar cutter to cut, the cigar is placed between the first and second blades, and the first and second supports are driven to move towards each other, thereby driving the first and second blades to move towards each other to cut the cigar, thus completing the cigar cutting operation. In this embodiment, the first and second blades are detachable. When the metal cutter becomes rusty, the first and second blades can be easily disassembled and replaced, avoiding the impact of rust on the flavor of the cigar and the quality of the cut cigar. Moreover, the blade holder and the cutter are designed separately, allowing the blade holder to be made of metal and the first and second blades to be made of non-metallic materials, thus completely avoiding the impact of metal rust and offering advantages such as high durability and good cutting quality.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 The diagram shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a cigar cutter 10 according to an embodiment of the present application. The cigar cutter 10 includes a cutter holder 100 and a cutter 200.

[0032] The tool holder 100 includes a first support 110 and a second support 120, which are movably connected.

[0033] In one embodiment, the first support 110 and the second support 120 are both plate-shaped structures. The first support 110 and the second support 120 are arranged in parallel. The first support 110 and the second support 120 can be driven to move towards or away from each other along the extension direction of the plate surface by manual or automatic means.

[0034] The cutter 200 includes a first blade 210 and a second blade 220. The first blade 210 is detachably mounted on the first bracket 110, and the second blade 220 is detachably mounted on the second bracket 120. The first blade 210 is provided with a first cutting edge 210A, and the second blade 220 is provided with a second cutting edge 220A. The first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A are arranged opposite to each other so that the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 drive the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 to cut towards each other.

[0035] In this process, when the cigar cutter 10 switches from the initial state to the cutting state, the cigar is placed between the first blade 210 and the second blade 220. By controlling the first support 110 and the second support 120 to move towards each other, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are driven to cut towards each other until they overlap and intersect. After cutting, the cigar cutter 10 returns to the initial state from the cutting state, and by controlling the first support 110 and the second support 120 to move away from each other, the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are driven to a state with a gap between them.

[0036] The cigar cutter 10 described in this application embodiment involves arranging the first notch 110A of the first support 110 and the second notch 120A of the second support 120 opposite to each other. The first blade 210 is detachably mounted in the first notch 110A, and the second blade 220 is detachably mounted in the second notch 120A. When cutting with the cigar cutter 10, the cigar is placed between the first blade 210 and the second blade 220. Driving the first support 110 and the second support 120 to move towards each other causes the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 to move towards each other, thus cutting the cigar and completing the cigar cutting operation.

[0037] The cigar cutter 10 described in this embodiment features a detachable first blade 210 and second blade 220. When the metal cutter 200 rusts, the first blade 210 and second blade 220 can be easily disassembled and replaced, preventing rust from affecting the flavor and cutting quality of the cigar. Furthermore, the separate design of the cutter holder 100 and the cutter 200 allows the cutter holder 100 to be made of metal while the first blade 210 and second blade 220 are made of non-metallic materials, thus completely avoiding the effects of metal rust and offering advantages such as high durability and excellent cutting quality.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the first support 110 and the second support 120 are made of metal, while the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 are both made of ceramic. By making the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 ceramic, their stability is improved, meaning their corrosion resistance and oxidation resistance are significantly enhanced. Nicotine is almost impossible to corrode the cutter 200. The stable physical and chemical properties ensure that no odor remains on the cigar after cutting, fundamentally solving the problem of rust on the cutter 200 affecting cigar quality. Furthermore, the ceramic cutter 200 maintains its sharpness for a longer period. If the entire cigar cutter 10 were made of ceramic, the cost would be very high. However, in this embodiment, the cigar cutter 10 adopts a split design, with the cutter holder 100 made of ordinary stainless steel and the cutter 200 made of ceramic, thereby reducing the manufacturing and usage costs of the cigar cutter 10.

[0039] Combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 The diagram shows an exploded view of a cigar cutter 10 according to one embodiment of the present application. In some embodiments, the first support 110 is provided with a first notch 110A and a first groove 110B on the side of the first support 110A. The side of the first blade 210 away from the first cutting edge 210A is embedded in the first groove 110B. The second support 120 is provided with a second notch 120A and a second groove 120B on the side of the second support 120A. The side of the second blade 220 away from the second cutting edge 220A is embedded in the second groove 120B.

[0040] In this embodiment, by providing a first notch 110A and a first groove 110B in the first bracket 110, and a second notch 120A and a second groove 120B in the second bracket 120, the first blade 210 is installed in the first notch 110A and the first groove 110B in an embedded manner, and the second blade 220 is installed in the second notch 120A and the second groove 120B in an embedded manner. This provides a positional definition function for the first blade 210 and the second blade 220, making it easy to position the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 during disassembly and replacement, and has the advantage of being easy to use.

[0041] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the shapes of the first notch 110A and the second notch 120A are both concave arcs, as are the shapes of the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A. During the cutting process, the gap between the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A gradually decreases, and the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 gradually overlap until the gap between the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A disappears. Since the cigar is cylindrical, by setting the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A to concave arcs to adapt to the shape of the cigar for cutting, the cut made by the cigar cutter 10 is smoother, improving the cutting quality of the cigar cutter 10.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, one end of the first bracket 110 is provided with a first connecting hole 110C, and one end of the second bracket 120 is provided with a second connecting hole 120C. The first connecting hole 110C and the second connecting hole 120C are used to connect with the connecting shaft 21 so that the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 are rotatably connected through the connecting shaft 21.

[0043] The cigar cutter 10 described in this application embodiment is used to be installed on a cigar cutter. By providing a first connecting hole 110C in the first bracket 110 and a second connecting hole 120C in the second bracket 120, and by installing the first connecting hole 110C and the second connecting hole 120C onto the connecting shaft 21 of the cigar cutter, the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120 rotate relative to the connecting shaft 21, thereby driving the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 to rotate towards or away from each other to cut.

[0044] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, both the first connecting hole 110C and the second connecting hole 120C are waist-shaped holes. Different styles of cigar cutters may have slightly different installation positions for the first connecting hole 110C and the second connecting hole 120C due to design differences, such as hole spacing or mounting surface angle. By setting the first connecting hole 110C and the second connecting hole 120C as waist-shaped holes, the connecting shaft 21 is allowed to slide along a straight segment within the waist-shaped hole, creating a degree of adjustment freedom. This allows the cigar cutter 10 to be adapted to more different styles of cigar cutters, offering the advantage of good applicability.

[0045] In other embodiments, the first support 110 can be driven to translate relative to the second support 120, thereby causing the first blade 210 and the second blade 220 to translate relative to each other to cut the cigar.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the first bracket 110 has a positioning hole 110D at the end away from the first connecting hole 110C. The first bracket 110 is fixedly installed relative to the cigar cutter, while the second bracket 120 is movably installed relative to the cigar cutter. Therefore, the positioning hole 110D is provided on the first bracket 110, and the first bracket 110 is fixed to the cigar cutter by screws passing through the positioning hole 110D and the connecting shaft 21 passing through the first connecting hole 110C. The first bracket 110 is fixed to the cigar cutter, and the cutting can be completed by simply driving the second bracket 120 to rotate. This design has the advantages of simple structure and convenient use.

[0047] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the positioning hole 110D is a waist-shaped countersunk hole. By setting the positioning hole 110D as a waist-shaped countersunk hole, the positioning hole 110D has a certain degree of adjustability during installation, thus allowing the cigar cutter 10 to be adapted to more different styles of cigar cutters, which has the advantage of good applicability.

[0048] In an optional embodiment, the first blade 210 and the first tool holder 100 are connected by a first curing adhesive, and the second blade 220 and the second tool holder 100 are connected by a second curing adhesive. Installing the first blade 210 with the first curing adhesive and the second blade 220 with the second curing adhesive offers advantages such as convenient processing and low production costs.

[0049] In other embodiments, the first blade 210 and the first blade holder 100 are connected by a first fastener, and the second blade 220 and the second blade holder 100 are connected by a second fastener. Specifically, the first and second fasteners are screws or bolts. Fixing the first blade 210 with the first fastener and the second blade 220 with the second fastener has the advantage of facilitating the replacement of the cutter 200.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the first cutting edge 210A includes a first coarse cutting edge and a first fine cutting edge, with the first fine cutting edge stacked on top of the first coarse cutting edge. The second cutting edge 220A includes a second coarse cutting edge and a second fine cutting edge, with the second fine cutting edge stacked on top of the second coarse cutting edge.

[0051] In this embodiment, both the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A are processed using a double-sharpening process. First, a first coarse edge and a second coarse edge are machined. Then, a first fine edge is made on the basis of the first coarse edge, and a second fine edge is made on the basis of the second coarse edge. This improves the strength of the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A while ensuring sharpness, thereby increasing the service life of the cigar cutter 10.

[0052] In an optional embodiment, the sharpness of both the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A is less than 0.3N. By increasing the sharpness of the first cutting edge 210A and the second cutting edge 220A, the cutting quality of the cigar cutter 10 for cigars is improved.

[0053] In an optional embodiment, the tool holder 100 further includes an elastic element disposed on the connecting shaft 21, one end of the elastic element being connected to the first bracket 110 and the other end of the elastic element being connected to the second bracket 120.

[0054] In this embodiment, an elastic element is provided on the connecting shaft 21 to connect the first bracket 110 and the second bracket 120. When the second bracket 120 rotates from the initial state to the cutting state, the elastic element automatically drives the second bracket 120 back to the initial state after the second bracket 120 is released, which has the advantage of being easy to use.

[0055] In one exemplary embodiment, the elastic element is a torsion spring.

[0056] On the other hand, this application also provides a cigar cutter, including a frame and a cigar cutter 10 as described in any of the above embodiments. The frame is provided with a connecting shaft 21 and a positioning post. The first connecting hole 110C and the second connecting hole 120C of the cigar cutter 10 are connected to the connecting shaft 21, and the positioning hole 110D of the cigar cutter 10 is connected to the positioning post.

[0057] The cigar cutter described in this application embodiment has cigar cutters 10 mounted on the connecting shaft 21 and positioning post of the frame to cut cigars. The cigar cutters 10 have a detachable first blade 210 and second blade 220. When the metal cutter 200 rusts, the first blade 210 and second blade 220 can be easily removed and replaced, preventing rust from affecting the flavor of the cigar and the quality of the cut. Furthermore, the blade holder 100 and the cutter 200 are separate units; the blade holder 100 can be made of metal, while the first blade 210 and second blade 220 can be made of non-metallic materials, thus completely avoiding the effects of metal rust and offering advantages such as high durability and good cutting quality.

[0058] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0059] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
