[0001] This utility model relates to the field of daily tools technology, specifically a butter knife that is easy to store. Background Technology

[0002] A butter knife is a special utensil used for spreading butter. The blade is usually short and wide, paddle-shaped, which allows the butter to adhere more and more stably to one side of the blade. It also has a blunt blade design, which avoids cutting other food while spreading butter, ensuring the integrity of other food. In the current technology, after spreading butter, the butter knife needs to be temporarily placed or stored. The blade and handle of the butter knife are mostly designed as one piece, which makes it easy for the butter knife to slip when placed on the butter box, causing the butter knife to be contaminated, and making it inconvenient to store the butter knife on the butter box. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a convenient grease knife, solving the problem that in existing technologies, after applying grease, the grease knife needs to be temporarily placed or stored away. Furthermore, the blade and handle of most grease knives are designed as a single unit, which makes them prone to slipping and contaminating the grease when placed on a grease box, thus causing inconvenience in storing the grease knife on the grease box.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a conveniently stored butter knife, comprising a handle, a connecting groove at the top of the handle, fixing holes on both sides of the connecting groove, a connecting seat connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove, limit caps threaded to both sides of the connecting seat, the limit caps engaging with the fixing holes, a blade fixedly connected to the side of the connecting seat away from the handle, a limit groove on the side of the blade near the connecting seat, an arc surface on the outer wall of the connecting seat away from the blade, first limit protrusions on both sides of the inner wall of the limit groove near the arc surface, first limit grooves on both sides of the bottom of the connecting seat near the arc surface, and second limit grooves on both sides of the outer wall of the connecting seat near the arc surface, the second limit grooves being perpendicular to the first limit grooves, and both the first and second limit grooves engaging with the first limit protrusions.

[0005] Preferably, a second limiting protrusion is provided on the bottom side of the connecting groove away from the arc surface, and a third limiting protrusion is provided on the bottom side of the connecting seat away from the arc surface. The third limiting protrusion is connected to the second limiting protrusion. A slot is provided at the bottom of the connecting groove, and a fourth limiting protrusion is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat. The fourth limiting protrusion is connected to the slot.

[0006] Preferably, the handle has gripping grooves at both the front and rear, below the connecting groove, with anti-slip textures on the inner wall of the gripping grooves, and anti-slip rubber strips on both sides of the outer wall of the handle.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the blade is provided with serrations.

[0008] Preferably, the bottom of the handle is provided with a hanging hole.

[0009] This utility model provides a conveniently stored grease knife. It offers the following advantages: The conveniently stored grease knife, through the cooperation of the handle, connecting groove, fixing hole, connecting seat, limiting cap, blade, curved surface, limiting groove, first limiting protrusion, first limiting groove, and second limiting groove, allows the blade to rotate. This allows the user to easily rotate the blade 90 degrees after applying grease and secure it by engaging the limiting groove with the edge of the grease box. This allows the grease knife to be temporarily placed or stored on the grease box, preventing it from slipping when temporarily placed. It also reduces the size of the grease knife when stored, thus improving its stability during temporary placement and convenience for storage.

[0010] By cooperating with the connecting groove, connecting seat, second limiting protrusion, third limiting protrusion, slot, and fourth limiting protrusion, the rotation angle of the connecting seat is limited, so that after the blade of the grease cutter is aligned with the angle of the handle, it can only rotate towards the side closer to the curved surface. The fourth limiting protrusion enters the slot for limitation, improving the stability of the blade after unfolding. This prevents the blade from rotating during use and improves the stability of the grease cutter during use. Attached Figure Description

[0017] 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.

[0018] In the existing technology, after applying butter, the butter knife needs to be temporarily placed or stored. The blade and handle of the butter knife are mostly designed as one piece, which makes it easy for the butter knife to slip off when placed on the butter box, causing contamination of the butter knife and making it inconvenient to store the butter knife on the butter box.

[0019] In view of this, the present invention provides a convenient grease knife. Through the cooperation between the handle, connecting groove, fixing hole, connecting seat, limiting cap, blade, curved surface, limiting groove, first limiting protrusion, first limiting groove and second limiting groove, the blade of the grease knife can rotate. After applying grease, the user can rotate the blade 90 degrees and fix the limiting groove into the edge of the grease box, so that the grease knife can be temporarily placed or stored on the grease box, preventing the grease knife from slipping when temporarily placed on the grease box. At the same time, it reduces the volume of the grease knife when stored and improves the convenience of storing the grease knife.

[0020] Those skilled in the art should connect all electrical components and their compatible power supplies in this case via wires. Appropriate controllers and encoders should be selected according to the actual situation to meet control requirements. The specific connection and control sequence should refer to the working principle described below, where the electrical components are connected in sequence. The detailed connection methods are well-known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and will not describe the electrical control further.

[0021] Depend on Figure 1-5It is known that a conveniently stored butter knife includes a handle 1, which is the grip structure of the butter knife. The top of the handle 1 is provided with a connecting groove 2, and fixing holes 3 are provided on both sides of the connecting groove 2. A connecting seat 4 is connected to the inner wall of the connecting groove 2. Limiting caps 5 are threaded to both sides of the connecting seat 4. The limiting caps 5 are connected to the fixing holes 3. A blade 6 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting seat 4 away from the handle 1. The blade 6 is the blade structure of the butter knife. A limiting groove 8 is provided on the side of the blade 6 near the connecting seat 4. The limiting groove 8 is used to lock the blade. The edge of the grease box is used to limit the movement of the grease knife, which improves the stability of the grease knife when it is temporarily placed. The outer wall of the connecting seat 4 away from the knife body 6 is provided with an arc surface 7. The inner wall of the limiting groove 8 near the arc surface 7 is provided with first limiting protrusions 9 on both sides. The bottom of the connecting seat 4 near the arc surface 7 is provided with first limiting grooves 10 on both sides. The outer walls of the connecting seat 4 near the arc surface 7 are provided with second limiting grooves 11. The second limiting grooves 11 are perpendicular to the first limiting grooves 10. The first limiting grooves 10 and the second limiting grooves 11 are both connected to the first limiting protrusions 9.

[0022] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the handle 1 is the grip structure of the grease cutter, and the blade 6 is the blade structure of the grease cutter. Through the cooperation between the handle 1, connecting groove 2, fixing hole 3, connecting seat 4, limiting cap 5, blade 6, and curved surface 7, and through the limiting cap 5's limitation within the fixing hole 3, the connecting seat 4 is installed in the connecting groove 2 of the handle 1, thus fixing the blade 6 to the handle 1 and allowing the connecting seat 4 to rotate towards the curved surface 7 within the connecting groove 2, thereby enabling the rotation of the blade 6. Through the cooperation between the handle 1, connecting groove 2, fixing hole 3, connecting seat 4, limiting cap 5, blade 6, curved surface 7, first limiting protrusion 9, first limiting groove 10, and second limiting groove 11, and through the limitation between the first limiting protrusion 9 and the first limiting groove 10, the blade 6 is limited when its angle is consistent with the handle 1, improving the stability of the grease cutter during use and making it easier for the user to grip and use. When temporarily storing the grease cutter, rotate the blade 6 towards the side closest to the curved surface 7, causing the first limiting protrusion 9 to separate from the first limiting groove 10. After the blade 6 rotates 90 degrees, the second limiting groove 11 engages with the first limiting protrusion 9 for positioning, fixing the blade 6 at a 90-degree angle to the handle 1. The limiting groove 8 is used to engage with the edge of the grease box for positioning, improving the stability of the grease cutter during temporary storage. This is achieved through the handle 1, connecting groove 2, fixing hole 3, connecting seat 4, limiting cap 5, blade 6, and curved surface. 7. The cooperation between the limiting groove 8, the first limiting protrusion 9, the first limiting groove 10, and the second limiting groove 11 allows the blade 6 of the butter knife to rotate. This makes it convenient for the user to rotate the blade 6 90 degrees after applying butter and fix the limiting groove 8 into the edge of the butter box. This allows the butter knife to be temporarily placed or stored on the butter box, preventing it from slipping when temporarily placed on the butter box. It also reduces the size of the butter knife when stored and improves the convenience of storing the butter knife.

[0023] Furthermore, a second limiting protrusion 12 is provided on the bottom side of the connecting groove 2 away from the arc surface 7, and a third limiting protrusion 13 is provided on the bottom side of the connecting seat 4 away from the arc surface 7. The third limiting protrusion 13 is connected to the second limiting protrusion 12. A slot 14 is provided at the bottom of the connecting groove 2, and a fourth limiting protrusion 15 is provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 4. The fourth limiting protrusion 15 is connected to the slot 14.

[0024] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the connecting groove 2, the connecting seat 4, the second limiting protrusion 12, and the third limiting protrusion 13, the second limiting protrusion 12 limits the third limiting protrusion 13, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the connecting seat 4. This ensures that after the blade 6 of the grease cutter is aligned with the handle 1, it can only rotate towards the side closer to the arc surface 7. Through the cooperation between the connecting groove 2, the connecting seat 4, the slot 14, and the fourth limiting protrusion 15, when the blade 6 of the grease cutter is aligned with the handle 1, the fourth limiting protrusion 15 of the connecting seat 4 enters the slot 14. To limit the rotation of the grease knife blade 6 after it is unfolded, the following measures are implemented: The connecting groove 2, connecting seat 4, second limiting protrusion 12, third limiting protrusion 13, slot 14, and fourth limiting protrusion 15 work together to restrict the rotation angle of the connecting seat 4. This ensures that after the grease knife blade 6 is aligned with the handle 1, it can only rotate towards the side closest to the arc surface 7. The fourth limiting protrusion 15 then enters the slot 14 for further limiting, thus improving the stability of the grease knife blade 6 after it is unfolded and preventing it from rotating during use.

[0025] Furthermore, gripping grooves 16 are provided at the front and rear of the handle 1 below the connecting groove 2, and anti-slip textures 17 are provided on the inner wall of the gripping grooves 16. Anti-slip rubber strips 18 are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the handle 1.

[0026] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that through the cooperation between the handle 1, the grip groove 16, the anti-slip texture 17 and the anti-slip rubber strip 18, by setting anti-slip rubber strips 18 on both sides of the handle 1 and setting the grip groove 16 with anti-slip texture 17 at the contact position between the thumb and the handle 1, the friction between the handle of the grease knife and the palm is increased, ensuring that the grease knife is stably gripped during use and preventing the grease knife from slipping.

[0027] Furthermore, one side of the blade 6 is provided with serrations 19, which are used to improve the efficiency of the butter knife in cutting butter.

[0028] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the serration 19 is used to improve the efficiency of the butter knife in cutting butter;

[0029] Furthermore, a hanging hole 20 is provided at the bottom of the handle 1, which is used to hang and store the butter knife when not in use.

[0030] In the specific implementation process, it is worth noting that the hanging hole 20 is used to hang and store the butter knife when not in use;

[0031] Specifically, when using this conveniently stored butter knife, rotate the blade 6 so that its angle is consistent with the handle 1. At this time, the first limiting groove 10 engages with the first limiting protrusion 9 for limiting, the fourth limiting protrusion 15 engages with the slot 14 for limiting, and the second limiting protrusion 12 limits the third limiting protrusion 13, keeping the blade 6 and handle 1 stable. Then, hold the handle 1 of the butter knife to use it. After applying the butter, rotate the blade 6 towards the side closer to the curved surface 7. The first limiting groove 10 releases its limiting position from the first limiting protrusion 9, the fourth limiting protrusion 15 separates from the slot 14, and simultaneously, the second limiting protrusion 12 separates from the third limiting protrusion 13. When the angle between the blade 6 and the handle 1 is 90 degrees, the second limiting groove 11 and the first limiting protrusion 9... A limiting mechanism is formed between the butter knife and the top edge of the butter box, allowing the limiting groove 8 to engage with the butter knife. This provides a temporary or storage space for the butter knife, preventing it from slipping and reducing its size when stored. The interaction between the handle 1, connecting groove 2, fixing hole 3, connecting seat 4, limiting cap 5, blade 6, curved surface 7, limiting groove 8, first limiting protrusion 9, first limiting groove 10, and second limiting groove 11 allows the blade 6 to rotate. After applying butter, the user can rotate the blade 6 90 degrees and engage the limiting groove 8 with the edge of the butter box for secure placement. This prevents the butter knife from slipping when temporarily placed on the box and reduces its size when stored, improving storage convenience.
