Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of chopping tools technology, and specifically relates to a folding axe. Background Technology
[0002] An axe is a metal chopping tool, generally used for felling trees, splitting firewood, and cutting timber. A typical axe consists of a handle and a blade connected to the handle. The blade is made of metal and has an axe edge fixedly connected to the handle; the blade is parallel to the handle. When using it, gripping the handle allows you to operate the blade to chop objects, making the chopping operation convenient.
[0003] However, existing axes have shortcomings. The axe blade and handle are fixedly connected, meaning the blade cannot fold relative to the handle when not chopping, leaving the axe blade exposed. This makes the axe vulnerable to cuts and unsafe to carry. Furthermore, the inability to fold the blade results in a larger axe overall, taking up storage space and making it inconvenient to carry and store. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding axe that is convenient to open and close.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a folding axe, comprising a handle and an axe blade connected to the handle. The handle has a receiving groove, and the axe blade is hinged in the receiving groove. The axe blade can rotate to open and close within the receiving groove. The side wall of the handle has a sliding groove, and a locking rod is slidably disposed within the sliding groove, with the locking rod extending into the receiving groove. The side wall of the axe blade has a first locking position and a second locking position. The handle has an elastic element for pushing the locking rod forward. When the axe blade rotates to the closed state and there is no external force, the elastic element will push the locking rod to engage with the first locking position. When the axe blade rotates to the open state and there is no external force, the elastic element will push the locking rod to engage with the second locking position. Pushing the locking rod backward will disengage the locking rod from the corresponding locking position.
[0006] In the above solution, by providing a receiving groove in the handle, the axe blade can be rotated to open and close within the receiving groove. When it is necessary to chop an object, the axe blade can be rotated to open, and the handle can be held to operate the axe blade to chop the object. Furthermore, when the axe blade is open and there is no external force, the elastic element will push the locking rod to engage with the second locking position. At this time, under the engagement of the locking rod and the second locking position, the axe blade cannot be rotated in the closing direction, thereby locking the axe blade in the open state and ensuring the structural stability of the axe blade in the open state. When chopping is not needed, the locking lever can be pushed backward to disengage it from the second locking position, thus releasing the lock on the axe blade. This allows the axe blade to be rotated and closed within the receiving slot, where the axe blade is stored, preventing cuts. Furthermore, the folded axe is only the size of a handle, minimizing space usage and making it convenient and safe to carry and store. When the axe blade is closed and no external force is applied, the elastic element will push the locking lever to engage with the first locking position. This prevents the axe blade from rotating in the opening direction, locking it in the closed position. Pushing the locking lever backward disengages it from the first locking position, releasing the lock on the axe blade and allowing it to be rotated to open.
[0007] Furthermore, the axe blade's sidewall is provided with a protrusion. The first locking position is a groove on the rear side of the protrusion, and the second locking position is an abutment surface on the front side of the protrusion. When the axe blade rotates to the closed state and there is no external force, the elastic element will push the locking rod's sidewall to engage with the groove on the protrusion. At this time, under the action of the locking rod and the groove on the protrusion, the locking rod can prevent the axe blade from rotating in the opening direction, thus locking the axe blade in the closed state. By forcefully pushing the locking rod backward to slide it away from the groove on the protrusion, the locking rod can be released from the axe blade. When the axe blade rotates to the open state and there is no external force, the elastic element will push the locking rod's sidewall to abut with the abutment surface on the protrusion. At this time, under the action of the locking rod and the abutment surface on the protrusion, the locking rod can prevent the axe blade from rotating in the closing direction, thus locking the axe blade in the open state. By forcefully pushing the locking rod backward to slide it away from the abutment surface on the protrusion, the locking rod can be released from the axe blade.
[0008] Furthermore, the notch of the aforementioned protrusion and the corner of the upper side of the protrusion are arc-shaped, and the locking rod is a cylindrical structure. When the axe blade is in the closed state and the locking rod is engaged with the notch of the protrusion, the user can grip the rear end of the handle and then forcefully swing the front end of the handle. While swinging the handle, the arc-shaped corner of the protrusion can forcefully push the cylindrical locking rod backward, causing the locking rod to disengage from the notch of the protrusion and causing the axe blade to rotate to the open state. This means that the user only needs to forcefully swing the front end of the handle to swing the axe blade to rotate and open, thus enabling the axe blade to be opened quickly.
[0009] Furthermore, the aforementioned handle is equipped with a locking mechanism to restrict the backward sliding of the locking rod. The locking mechanism includes a rotating rod rotatably connected within the receiving groove. When the locking rod is engaged with one of the locking positions, the rotating rod is located at the rear of the locking rod, and rotating the rotating rod allows its front end face to rotate to a position that abuts against and disengages from the locking rod. Specifically, when the front end face of the rotating rod rotates to the position that abuts against the locking rod, it prevents the locking rod from sliding backward and disengaging from the locking position, thus making the locking of the axe blade more secure. Conversely, when the front end face of the rotating rod rotates to the position that disengages from the locking rod, the locking rod is no longer blocked by the front end face of the rotating rod, and at this point, the locking rod can slide backward and disengage from the locking position.
[0010] Furthermore, the aforementioned locking mechanism also includes a handle located on the side of the rear end of the rotating rod. A clearance groove is provided on the side wall of the handle corresponding to the handle position. The handle is placed in the clearance groove, and the rotating rod is rotated by operating the handle to facilitate the rotation of the rotating rod.
[0011] Furthermore, the sidewall of the aforementioned receiving groove is provided with a first groove and a second groove, and the sidewall of the rotating rod is provided with a positioning protrusion. When the front end face of the rotating rod rotates to the position abutting against the locking rod, the positioning protrusion engages with the first groove. At this time, the first groove can prevent the positioning protrusion of the rotating rod from rotating naturally, preventing the rotating rod from mistakenly locking the locking rod due to natural rotation. When the front end face of the rotating rod rotates to the position disengaged from the locking rod, the positioning protrusion engages with the second groove. At this time, the second groove can prevent the positioning protrusion of the rotating rod from rotating naturally, preventing the rotating rod from mistakenly locking the locking rod due to natural rotation.
[0012] Furthermore, the aforementioned elastic element is a linear spring. There are two linear springs arranged opposite each other. One end of each linear spring is connected to the locking rod, and the other end of each linear spring is connected to the handle. Without external force, the two linear springs will push the locking rod forward through their own elastic force, thereby realizing the structural function of the aforementioned elastic element to push the locking rod forward. Moreover, setting two linear springs to push the locking rod results in better thrust and a more stable structure.
[0013] Furthermore, the axe blade is equipped with a pressure plate at the end opposite to the blade. The pressure plate is located outside the receiving groove and can be used to press or strike objects, increasing the axe's functionality. In use, when the axe blade is in the closed state, the handle can be held to operate the front side of the pressure plate to press objects; while when the axe blade is in the open state, the handle can be held to operate the front side of the pressure plate to strike objects.
[0014] Furthermore, the aforementioned receiving groove has a guide groove on its side wall, and the axe blade has a guide rod on its side wall. The guide rod is placed in the guide groove and can slide along the guide groove. When the axe blade rotates to the closed state, the guide rod abuts against the lower end of the guide groove. At this time, the lower side wall of the guide groove will block the guide rod from continuing to rotate, thereby preventing the axe blade from rotating excessively in the closing direction and positioning the axe blade in the closed state. When the axe blade rotates to the open state, the guide rod abuts against the upper end of the guide groove. At this time, the upper side wall of the guide groove will block the guide rod from continuing to rotate, thereby preventing the axe blade from rotating excessively in the opening direction and positioning the axe blade in the open state.
[0015] Furthermore, the aforementioned handle includes a left handle piece and a right handle piece arranged opposite to each other, and a spacer block located at the rear end between the two handle pieces. The gap between the left handle piece and the right handle piece forms a receiving groove. The axe blade is hinged to the front end between the two handle pieces by a pin, so that the axe blade can rotate around the pin to open and close between the two handle pieces, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly of the axe.
[0016] When not in use, this folding axe can be closed within the receiving groove, preventing cuts from the axe blade and reducing space occupation, making it convenient and safe to carry. The locking rod and protrusion's locking groove, combined with the action of the rotating rod's front face against the locking rod, ensure the structural stability of the axe in the closed state. Pushing the handle rotates the rotating rod to the position where the positioning protrusion mates with the second groove. Then, gripping the rear of the handle and swinging the front of the handle opens the axe, allowing for quick opening. The locking rod and protrusion's contact surfaces, along with the action of the rotating rod's front face against the locking rod, ensure the structural stability of the axe in the open state, making chopping convenient and safe. Additionally, a pressure plate can be operated for pressing or striking objects, making the axe more versatile. Attached Figure Description

Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting this patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
[0025] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings:
[0026] Example 1
[0027] The structure of the folding axe in this embodiment is as follows: Figure 1-5 As shown, the device includes a handle 1 and an axe blade 2 connected to the handle 1. The handle 1 has a receiving groove 10, and the axe blade 2 is hinged in the receiving groove 10. The axe blade 2 can rotate to open and close in the receiving groove 10. The side wall of the handle 1 has a sliding groove 30, and a locking rod 3 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 30. The locking rod 3 can slide back and forth along the sliding groove 30, and the locking rod 3 extends into the receiving groove 10, while the outer end of the locking rod 3 extends out of the sliding groove 30 to facilitate pushing the locking rod 3 to slide.
[0028] The axe blade 2 has a first locking position and a second locking position on its side wall, and the handle 1 has an elastic element 4 for pushing the locking rod 3 forward. Figure 3 , 4 As shown, when the axe blade 2 is rotated to the closed state and no external force is applied, the elastic element 4 will push the locking rod 3 to slide forward, causing the locking rod 3 to engage with the first locking position. At this time, with the locking rod 3 engaging with the second locking position, the axe blade 2 cannot rotate in the closed direction, thus locking the axe blade 2 in the open state and ensuring the structural stability of the axe blade 2 in the open state. When the axe blade 2 is in the open state, the user can hold the handle 1 to operate the axe blade 2 to chop objects, making chopping convenient.
[0029] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown, when the axe blade 2 is rotated to the open state and no external force is applied, the elastic element 4 will push the locking rod 3 to slide forward, causing the locking rod 3 to engage with the second locking position. At this time, with the locking rod 3 engaged with the first locking position, the axe blade 2 cannot rotate in the open direction, thus locking the axe blade 2 in the closed state. In the closed state, the axe blade 2 is stored in the receiving groove 10, so it will not be cut by the axe blade. Moreover, the volume of the folded axe is only the size of the handle 1, thus reducing the space occupied and making it convenient and safe to carry and store. Pushing the locking rod 3 backward causes the locking rod 3 to disengage from the corresponding locking position, thus releasing the lock on the axe blade 2, allowing the axe blade 2 to continue to rotate.
[0030] Specifically, the axe blade 2 has a protrusion 21 on its side wall, the first locking position is a slot 211 formed on the rear side of the protrusion 21, and the second locking position is an abutment surface 212 formed on the front side of the protrusion 21. The abutment surface 212 is preferably a plane. For example... Figure 3 , 4 As shown, when the axe blade 2 rotates to the closed state and there is no external force, the elastic element 4 will push the locking rod 3 to slide forward, so that the side wall of the locking rod 3 engages with the groove 211 of the protrusion 21. This achieves the structural function of the first locking position engaging with the locking rod 3. At this time, under the action of the locking rod 3 and the groove 211 of the protrusion 21, the locking rod 3 can prevent the axe blade 2 from rotating in the opening direction, thereby locking the axe blade 2 in the closed state. By forcefully pushing the locking rod 3 to slide backward, the locking rod 3 disengages from the groove 211 of the protrusion 21, thereby releasing the lock on the axe blade 2 and allowing the axe blade 2 to be rotated to open.
[0031] For example Figure 1 , 2 As shown, when the axe blade 2 is rotated to the open state and there is no external force, the elastic element 4 will push the locking rod 3 to slide forward, so that the side wall of the locking rod 3 abuts against the contact surface 211 of the protrusion 21. This achieves the above-mentioned function of the second locking position engaging with the locking rod 3. At this time, under the action of the locking rod 3 against the contact surface 212 of the protrusion 21, the locking rod 3 can prevent the axe blade 2 from rotating in the closing direction, thereby locking the axe blade 2 in the open state. By forcefully pushing the locking rod 3 to slide backward, the locking rod 3 disengages from the contact surface 212 of the protrusion 21, thereby releasing the lock on the axe blade 2 and allowing the axe blade 2 to be rotated to close.
[0032] As an improvement to this embodiment, such as Figure 4As shown, the notch 211 of the protrusion 21 and the corner of the upper side of the protrusion 21 are arc angles 210. The locking rod 3 is a cylindrical structure, that is, the cross-section of the locking rod 3 is a circular structure. When the axe blade 2 is in the closed state and the locking rod 3 is engaged with the notch 211 of the protrusion 21, the user can hold the rear end of the handle 1 and then forcefully swing the front end of the handle 1. At the same time as swinging the handle 1, the arc angle 210 of the protrusion 21 can forcefully push the cylindrical locking rod 3 to slide backward, so that the locking rod 3 disengages from the notch 211 of the protrusion 21, and causes the axe blade 2 to rotate to the open state. It is equivalent to the user only needing to forcefully swing the front end of the handle 1 to swing the axe blade 2 to rotate and open, thereby realizing the quick opening operation of the axe blade 2.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] This embodiment is a further improvement on the folding axe structure of Embodiment 1. The improvement lies in that, as Figure 3-6 As shown, the handle 1 is provided with a locking mechanism to restrict the locking rod 3 from sliding backward. The locking mechanism includes a rotating rod 51 rotatably connected in the receiving groove 10 and a handle 52 located on the left side of the rear end of the rotating rod 51. The middle part of the rotating rod 51 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the receiving groove 10 through a rotating shaft 54. A clearance groove 53 is provided on the side wall of the handle 1 corresponding to the position of the handle 52. The handle 52 passes through the clearance groove 53 and extends out of the handle 1. The rotating rod 51 is rotated by operating the handle 52 to facilitate the operation of the rotating rod 51.
[0035] like Figure 2 , 4 As shown, when the locking rod 3 is engaged with one of the locking positions, the rotating rod 51 is located behind the locking rod 3. Rotating the rotating rod 51 allows its front end to rotate to both abut and disengage from the locking rod 3. When the front end of the rotating rod 51 abuts the locking rod 3, it prevents the locking rod 3 from sliding backward, thus preventing it from disengaging from the locking position and making the locking rod 3 more secure in locking the axe piece 2. When the front end of the rotating rod 51 disengages from the locking rod 3, the locking rod 3 is no longer blocked by the front end of the rotating rod 51, and it can then slide backward to disengage from the locking position.
[0036] As an improvement to this embodiment, such as Figure 5 , 6As shown, the side wall of the aforementioned receiving groove 10 is provided with a first groove 101 and a second groove 102, and the left side wall of the rotating rod 51 is provided with a positioning protrusion 511. When the front end face of the rotating rod 51 rotates to the position where it abuts against the locking rod 3, the positioning protrusion 511 engages with the first groove 101. At this time, the first groove 101 can prevent the positioning protrusion 511 of the rotating rod 51 from rotating naturally, preventing the rotating rod 51 from accidentally locking the locking rod 3 due to natural rotation. When the front end face of the rotating rod 51 rotates to the position where it disengages from the locking rod 3, the positioning protrusion 511 engages with the second groove 102. At this time, the second groove 102 can prevent the positioning protrusion 511 of the rotating rod 51 from rotating naturally, preventing the rotating rod 51 from accidentally locking the locking rod 3 due to natural rotation.
[0037] Example 3
[0038] This embodiment is a further improvement on the folding axe structure of Embodiment Two. The improvement lies in that, as... Figure 1 , 3 As shown, the axe blade 2 has a pressure plate 22 at its front end. In both the open and closed states, the pressure plate 22 is located outside the receiving groove 10. The pressure plate 22 can be used to press or strike objects, increasing the axe's functionality. In use, when the axe blade 2 is closed, the handle 1 can be held to operate the front side of the pressure plate 2 to press objects; while when the axe blade 2 is open, the handle 1 can be held to operate the front side of the pressure plate 2 to strike objects.
[0039] Specifically, such as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the handle 1 includes a left handle piece 11 and a right handle piece 12 arranged opposite to each other, and a spacer 13 located at the rear end between the left handle piece 11 and the right handle piece 12. The axe blade 2 is hinged to the front end between the left handle piece 11 and the right handle piece 12 via a pin 6, so that the axe blade 2 can rotate around the pin 6 to open and close between the two handle pieces. More specifically, the left handle piece 11 and the right handle piece each include an inner handle piece 111 and an outer handle piece 112 located outside the inner handle piece 111. The gap between the two inner handle pieces 111 forms the receiving groove 10. The axe blade 2 is located between the two inner handle pieces 111. The first groove 101 and the second groove 102 are located at the position of the inner handle piece 111 of the left handle piece 11 and penetrate through the side wall of the inner handle piece 111.
[0040] Furthermore, the aforementioned elastic element 4 is a linear spring. There are two linear springs arranged opposite each other. One linear spring is located between the inner handle plate 111 and the outer handle plate 112 of the left handle plate 11, and the other linear spring is located between the inner handle plate 111 and the outer handle plate 112 of the right handle plate 12. The front ends of the two linear springs are connected to the locking rod 3, and the rear ends of the two linear springs are connected to the inner handle plate 111 on the corresponding side. Without the action of external force, the two linear springs will push the locking rod 3 forward through their own elastic force, thereby realizing the structural function of the aforementioned elastic element 4 to push the locking rod 3 forward. Moreover, the use of two linear springs to push the locking rod 3 results in better thrust and a more stable structure.
[0041] Both inner handle plates 111 have guide grooves 103 on their side walls, and the axe blade 2 has guide rods 23 on its left and right side walls. The guide rods 23 are placed in the guide grooves 103 and can slide along the guide grooves 103. When the axe blade 2 rotates to the closed state, the guide rods 23 abut against the lower end of the guide grooves 103. At this time, the lower side wall of the guide grooves 103 will block the guide rods 23 from continuing to rotate, thereby preventing the axe blade 2 from rotating excessively in the closed direction and positioning the axe blade 2 in the closed state. When the axe blade 2 rotates to the open state, the guide rods 23 abut against the upper end of the guide grooves 103. At this time, the upper side wall of the guide grooves 103 will block the guide rods 23 from continuing to rotate, thereby preventing the axe blade 2 from rotating excessively in the open direction and positioning the axe blade 2 in the open state.
[0042] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating this utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
