Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of knives, and more specifically, to a multifunctional fruit knife. Background Technology

[0002] When peeling fruit, people generally use a single-blade fruit knife or a dedicated peeler. A single-blade fruit knife, for example, can result in uneven peel thickness when peeling apples, requiring a higher level of skill from the peeler. While a dedicated peeler is convenient for peeling, it's not ideal for cutting the peeled fruit into pieces. Therefore, it often requires an additional fruit knife for cutting, making traditional knives somewhat scattered. Furthermore, traditional peelers typically only function in one direction.

[0003] In addition, carrying a lot of knives while traveling will increase the number and weight of your belongings and make them inconvenient to store. Therefore, a multi-functional fruit knife is urgently needed when traveling. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional fruit knife, which aims to solve the problem that traditional peelers in the prior art usually only have a single function as a knife.

[0005] This utility model is a multifunctional fruit knife that includes a handle, a fruit knife, and a peeler. The handle has a storage cavity for storing the fruit knife and the peeler. The fruit knife and the peeler are arranged side by side in the storage cavity. The handle is provided with a first drive button for driving the fruit knife to extend and retract along the length of the handle, and a second drive button for driving the peeler to extend and retract along the length of the handle.

[0006] Furthermore, one end of the handle has a first opening for a fruit knife to extend and a second opening for a peeler to extend, with the first opening and the second opening arranged side by side at intervals.

[0007] Furthermore, the first drive button and the second drive button are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the handle, and the first drive button and the second drive button are arranged opposite each other.

[0008] Furthermore, the inner wall of the storage cavity is provided with a first track for the directional extension and retraction of a fruit knife and a second track for the directional extension and retraction of a peeler.

[0009] Furthermore, the handle has a first slide rail for the first drive button to slide in a certain direction and a second slide rail for the second drive button to slide in a certain direction, respectively, and the second slide rail and the first slide rail extend along the length of the handle.

[0010] Furthermore, a first positioning block that moves up and down elastically is connected to the first drive button. The first positioning block is located in the storage cavity and is connected to the fruit knife through a first return spring. A second positioning block that moves up and down elastically is connected to the second drive button. The second positioning block is located in the storage cavity and is connected to the peeler through a second return spring.

[0011] Furthermore, the fruit knife has a spring cavity for installing the first reset spring and a sliding opening. An anti-disengagement pin is connected to the first positioning block. One end of the anti-disengagement pin passes through the sliding opening and is connected to the first positioning block. A driving block is protruding from the first positioning block toward the spring cavity. The driving block is connected to the fruit knife through the first reset spring.

[0012] Furthermore, the first slide rail has a first positioning opening on each side for positioning the first positioning block, and the second slide rail has a second positioning opening on each side for positioning the second positioning block.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-7 The image shown is a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0028] A multi-functional fruit knife set of 40 includes a handle 10, a fruit knife 40, and a peeler 50. The handle 10 has a storage cavity for storing the fruit knife 40 and the peeler 50. The fruit knife 40 and the peeler 50 are arranged side by side in the storage cavity. The handle 10 is provided with a first drive button 20 for driving the fruit knife 40 to extend and retract along the length direction of the handle 10, and a second drive button 30 for driving the peeler 50 to extend and retract along the length direction of the handle 10.

[0029] The aforementioned multi-functional fruit knife 40 integrates the fruit knife 40 and peeler 50 into a single handle 10 by setting a storage cavity inside the handle 10, thus significantly reducing the space occupied by the tools, making them easy to carry and store. The blades are not exposed, greatly improving the safety of carrying and storing them and preventing accidental cuts. It solves the problems of traditional fruit tools (knives, peelers) being scattered, easily lost, or taking up a lot of space. The fruit knife 40 and peeler 50 are arranged side by side in the same storage cavity and share the same handle 10 shell. By setting two independent first drive buttons 20 and second drive buttons 30, users can independently and without interference control the extension or retraction of the fruit knife 40 or peeler 50 to achieve precise function switching and meet different fruit processing needs (such as only needing to cut into pieces or only needing to peel).

[0030] In this embodiment, one end of the handle 10 has a first opening 11 for the fruit knife 40 to extend and a second opening 12 for the peeler 50 to extend, with the first opening 11 and the second opening 12 arranged side by side at intervals.

[0031] Efficient independent extension channels: Dedicated extension paths (first opening 11 and second opening 12) are provided for the fruit knife 40 and the peeler 50 respectively, ensuring that the two knives (fruit knife 40 and peeler 50) do not interfere with each other during extension and retraction, and the operation is smooth.

[0032] Space optimization and structural stability: The side-by-side spacing of the openings makes full use of the limited space at the end of the handle 10, making the structure more compact; at the same time, this arrangement ensures that the working posture of the knives (fruit knife 40 and peeler 50) after they are extended (two knives working side by side) is stable and reliable.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first drive button 20 and the second drive button 30 are respectively located on the upper and lower sides of the handle 10, and the first drive button 20 and the second drive button 30 are arranged opposite to each other.

[0034] Significantly prevents accidental operation: The two function buttons (cutter and peeler 50) are placed on opposite sides (usually the top and bottom surfaces) to form physical isolation; when the user is holding or operating the device, their fingers (such as the thumb and index finger) naturally fall on different sides, greatly reducing the risk of unwanted knives accidentally popping out due to accidental button presses.

[0035] Ergonomic optimization: When operating with both hands or one hand, different fingers can easily press the buttons on different sides, conforming to natural operating habits and improving operating comfort and efficiency.

[0036] Reasonable use of space: The buttons are placed on the side of the handle 10, which does not affect the overall grip of the handle 10, and avoids being too prominent at the top or bottom, affecting the appearance or grip.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the storage cavity is provided with a first track 13 for the fruit knife 40 to extend and retract in a directional manner and a second track 14 for the peeler 50 to extend and retract in a directional manner.

[0038] Precise guidance and smooth operation: The first track 13 and the second track 14 precisely guide the sliding paths of the fruit knife 40 and the peeler 50, respectively, ensuring that the blades always maintain a straight line during the extension and retraction process, without swaying, shaking or jamming, thus improving the smoothness and reliability of operation.

[0039] Enhanced structural strength and stability: The track structure strengthens the inner wall of the storage cavity and provides a stable support point for the knives (fruit knife 40 and peeler 50), making the knives more stable when extended in working condition and when cutting / peeling under force.

[0040] Preventing knife tilting or twisting: The track constraint effectively prevents the knives (fruit knife 40 and peeler 50) from tilting or twisting due to force during use or extension, ensuring the effectiveness and safety of use.

[0041] In this embodiment, the upper and lower sides of the handle 10 are respectively provided with a first slide rail 15 for the first drive button 20 to slide in a certain direction and a second slide rail 16 for the second drive button 30 to slide in a certain direction. The second slide rail 16 and the first slide rail 15 are respectively arranged to extend along the length direction of the handle 10.

[0042] Button guidance and limiting: The first slide rail 15 and the second slide rail 16 provide a precise sliding path (along the length of the handle 10) for their respective drive buttons, ensuring that the buttons can only move in a preset straight line direction, avoiding drive failure caused by button shaking or tilting.

[0043] Improved operational smoothness: The slide structure significantly reduces frictional resistance when sliding buttons, making button pressing smoother and less strenuous, thus enhancing the user experience.

[0044] Aesthetically pleasing integrated structure: The slide rail and handle 10 shell are designed as a single unit (or structurally tightly integrated), with a simple appearance. The sliding part of the button does not protrude or have an obtrusive structure, maintaining the overall aesthetics of handle 10 and a good grip.

[0045] In this embodiment, a first positioning block 21 that moves up and down elastically is connected to the first drive button 20. The first positioning block 21 is located in the storage cavity. The first positioning block 21 is connected to the fruit knife 40 through a first return spring 22. A second positioning block 31 that moves up and down elastically is connected to the second drive button 30. The second positioning block 31 is located in the storage cavity. The second positioning block 31 is connected to the peeler 50 through a second return spring 32.

[0046] The second positioning block 31 is inserted from top to bottom into the middle of the peeler 50. The peeler 50 is driven by the second return spring 32 to elastically reset and move the second positioning block 31.

[0047] Button linkage and drive transmission: The first positioning block 21 and the second positioning block 31 are the key connecting parts between the button and the knife (fruit knife 40 / peeling knife 50); when the button slides along the slide, it drives the positioning block to move, and then drives the knife to be positioned through the spring; thus realizing the effective transmission of button action to knife action.

[0048] Automatic reset function: The first reset spring 22 and the second reset spring 32 are key; when the user releases the button, the elasticity of the reset spring will push the positioning block to lock in the handle 10 for stable use of the fruit knife 40 / peeler 50.

[0049] In this embodiment, the fruit knife 40 has a spring cavity 41 for installing the first reset spring 22 and a sliding opening 42. The first positioning block 21 is connected to an anti-detachment nail 23. One end of the anti-detachment nail 23 passes through the sliding opening 42 and is connected to the first positioning block 21. The first positioning block 21 has a driving block 24 protruding towards the spring cavity 41. The driving block 24 is connected to the fruit knife 40 through the first reset spring 22.

[0050] Reliable spring installation: A dedicated spring cavity 41 is provided on the fruit knife 40 body to provide a stable and safe installation space for the first return spring 22, preventing the first return spring 22 from twisting, shifting or even falling off when it is compressed or rebounds.

[0051] Anti-detachment structure guarantee: The anti-detachment nail 23 passes through the sliding opening 42 on the fruit knife 40 and is connected to the first positioning block 21; this structure allows the first positioning block 21 to move relatively to the fruit knife 40 under the action of the first drive button 20 (meeting the drive and positioning requirements), while strictly limiting the possibility of the first positioning block 21 and the first drive button 20 falling off the fruit knife 40, thus enhancing the reliability of the mechanism.

[0052] Precise drive and force transmission: The drive block 24 on the first positioning block 21 extends into the spring cavity 41 and directly contacts or connects to the first return spring 22; when the first positioning block 21 is driven to move by the first drive button 20, the drive block 24 precisely and efficiently transmits the driving force by applying pressure to the first return spring 22 (allowing the fruit knife 40 to extend) or releasing pressure (pushing the first positioning block 21 to lock onto the handle 10); the sliding opening 42 allows the anti-dislodgement nail 23 to drive the fruit knife 40 to extend and retract.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first slide rail 15 has a first positioning opening 17 on both sides for positioning the first positioning block 21, and the second slide rail 16 has a second positioning opening 18 on both sides for positioning the second positioning block 31.

[0054] Position locking (maintaining extended state): When the user presses the drive button and fully extends the knife (fruit knife 40 / peeler 50), the positioning block (due to its elasticity) will engage with the corresponding positioning opening (e.g., the first positioning block 21 engages with the first positioning opening 17 on the side of the first slide rail 15 or the second positioning block 31 engages with the second positioning opening 18 on the side of the second slide rail 16); this is equivalent to a "buckle" mechanism, locking the button and the positioning block in the current position, thereby maintaining the stable extended working state of the knife (fruit knife 40 and peeler 50) without the user having to continuously press the button; preventing the knife from accidentally retracting during cutting or peeling.

[0055] Reset and unlock (allow retraction state): When it is necessary to retract the knives (fruit knife 40 and peeler 50), press the same button again. The positioning block is squeezed out of the positioning opening. Under the action of the reset spring, the button bounces back, and at the same time, it drives the positioning block away from the positioning opening, so that the knives can be retracted smoothly. This is the core structure that realizes the common and convenient operation mode of "press once to extend and lock, press again to unlock and retract".

[0056] Clear operational feedback: The insertion or removal of the positioning block from the positioning opening is usually accompanied by a clear "click" sound or a change in feel, providing users with clear feedback on the tool status (locked / unlocked).

[0057] In this embodiment, a connector 60 is installed on the other end of the handle 10, and tweezers 70 are provided on the connector 60.

[0058] Further functional expansion: Tweezers 70 are added to the other end of the handle 10, further expanding the functionality of the tool; Tweezers 70 are very suitable for fruit handling scenarios, such as peeling fruit skins (such as grape skins, kiwi skins, etc.), picking up fruit seeds (such as apple cores, date cores, cherry cores), small fruit stems, or handling hot small pieces of fruit.

[0059] Highly efficient integration: The tweezers 70 and the folding knife are integrated into a single handle 10, eliminating the need to carry the tweezers 70 separately, meeting the user's need for "one tool for multiple uses" and improving the tool's practicality and convenience.

[0060] Reasonable space utilization: The tweezers 70 are installed at the end of the handle 10 (opposite to the protruding end of the tool), which makes reasonable use of the axial space of the handle 10 and does not affect the structure and operation of the tool extension mechanism.

[0061] In this embodiment, a protective cover 80 for covering the tweezers 70 is detachably connected to the outer periphery of the connector 60, and the protective cover 80 is movably connected to the other end of the handle 10.

[0062] Protecting the tweezers 70 and ensuring safety: When not in use, the protective cover 80 completely covers the tip of the tweezers 70, effectively preventing the tip of the tweezers 70 from deforming or being damaged. More importantly, it prevents the tip of the tweezers 70 from accidentally pricking people or snagging on objects, significantly improving the safety of carrying and storing them.

[0063] Hygiene and dustproof: The protective cover isolates external dust and dirt, keeping the tweezers clean and hygienic, especially useful in kitchens and outdoor environments.

[0064] The detachable design is convenient: the protective cover 80 is detachable, making it easy to remove and use the tweezers 70 when needed, and to easily replace it after use; its movable docking (such as thread, snap, magnetic) with the end of the handle 10 ensures a secure connection and easy assembly and disassembly.

[0065] Protective cover 80 at the end of handle 10: The protective cover 80 simultaneously connects to and covers the connector 60 structure at the end of handle 10, providing a certain degree of protection.

[0066] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
