Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of cutting tool technology and relates to a box opener. Background Technology
[0002] A box opener is a common hand tool, often used to open shipping boxes, remove seals, and so on. Currently, box openers on the market are structurally similar to traditional utility knives. While they make opening boxes convenient, they pose safety hazards, and the blades can easily damage items inside if not handled carefully. Furthermore, most existing box openers lack the function of storing spare blades, making blade replacement inconvenient.
[0003] An investigation revealed that Chinese patent CN202221966120.3, entitled "A Box Opener with Spare Blade Storage Function," includes a lower blade assembly and an upper blade assembly located between the inner walls of the lower blade assembly. A threaded plug connects the lower and upper blade assemblies. The lower blade assembly includes a lower blade base with a groove at its upper end. Two symmetrical blade placement slots are carved at the upper end of the groove, with multiple blades placed between the inner walls of each slot. A cylindrical hole is carved at the upper end of the groove, located between the inner walls of the two blade placement slots. This design allows for the opening of the box opener's head, enabling the storage of additional spare blades on the other side, significantly improving utilization. While this box opener can store spare blades, its operation is not safe or convenient, and blade replacement is also inconvenient. Summary of the Invention

[0019] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0020] like Figures 1-4 As shown, a box opener includes a blade A and a blade head B. The blade head B is a sickle-shaped blade composed of a blade 4 and a blade holder 5. A connecting plate 51, which is inserted into the blade body A, protrudes from the middle of the blade holder 5. The front end of the blade body A is triangular, and the connecting plate 51 is a corresponding triangular plate. An opening groove 10 is provided at the front end of the blade body A for the rear end of the connecting plate 51 to be inserted. A first latch 6, which engages with and locks against the connecting plate 51, is provided inside the blade body A and behind the opening groove 10. The blade head B is connected via... Plate 51 is detachably connected to blade A, and the blade 4 faces the triangular head of the blade. The left and right sides of the blade holder 5 are provided with baffles 52 to protect the blade 4. The baffles 52 and the front triangular hypotenuse of the blade A form a cutting groove 53. The upper end of the blade A is provided with a button 62 for removing the blade head B. The blade A has a built-in spare blade holder 3 for storing spare blade heads and a second buckle 7 that locks in conjunction with the spare blade holder 3. The upper end of the blade A is provided with a push button for opening the spare blade holder 3.
[0021] The specific structure is as follows: The blade A is made of aluminum alloy and is formed by the joining of an upper blade 1 and a lower blade 2. After the upper blade 1 and the lower blade 2 are joined, an opening groove 10 is formed at the front end for the rear end of the connecting plate 51 of the blade head holder 5 to be inserted. A strip-shaped notch 13 is formed on one side of the rear for the blade holder 3 to be inserted or ejected. A limiting step 14 is formed at the bottom of the opening groove 10 to abut against the rear end of the connecting plate 51. The baffle 52 is basically parallel to the side of the connecting plate 51 on the same side. An installation groove 15 for the first buckle 6 to be inserted is provided in the upper blade 1 and at the rear side of the opening groove 10. A strip-shaped locking hole 511 is provided at the rear end of the connecting plate 51. The front end of the first buckle 6 has a locking buckle 61 that cooperates with the locking hole. A first spring 60 is supported between the bottom of the rear end of the first buckle 6 and the inner wall of the lower blade 2, so that the first buckle 6 always tends to engage and lock with the locking hole 511. Button 62 is located at the rear of the upper end face of the first buckle 6. Button 62 and the first buckle 6 are integral parts. A hollow part 11 is provided on the upper half of the blade body 1 to expose button 62. The rear side of the outer end face of the spare blade holder 3 is hinged to the rear end of the strip-shaped notch of the blade body A through a pivot. A buckle groove 31 is recessed in the middle of the front end of the spare blade holder 3. A sliding groove 16 is formed in the upper half of the blade body 1 for the second buckle 7 to be inserted and to slide back and forth. The rear end of the second buckle 7 has a buckle 71 that engages with the buckle groove 31 of the spare blade holder 3 for locking. A second spring is supported between the front end of the second buckle 7 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 16, so that the second buckle 8 has a tendency to always move backward and lock with the spare blade holder 3. After the spare blade holder 3 and the second buckle 7 are locked, its outer surface is flush with the blade body. A slot 32 is provided in the spare blade holder 3 for inserting a spare blade head. An elastic pressure plate 33 is connected above the slot 32 of the spare blade holder 3 to strengthen the positioning and fixing of the spare blade head.
[0022] A third spring 8 is provided between the lower rear end of the knife holder 3 and the inner wall of the knife body, so that the knife holder 3 always tends to pop outwards towards the knife body. The push button 72 is located on the upper surface of the second buckle 7. The push button 72 and the second buckle 7 are an integral part. An opening 12 is provided on the upper half of the knife body 1 for the push button 72 to be exposed.
[0023] In addition, the rear end of the blade A has a hanging hole 10 for easy hanging. The blade 4 is a stainless steel blade, and the blade head B is a single piece.
[0024] When it is necessary to replace the blade head B, first press button 62, the first latch 6 disengages from the connecting plate 51, and the blade head B is removed; then push the push button 72 forward, the second latch 7 is released from locking with the spare blade holder 3, and under the action of the third spring 8, the spare blade holder 3 pops out, and the spare blade head is removed; align the connecting plate 51 of the spare blade head with the front opening slot 10 of the blade body A and insert it, locking it with the first latch 6, thus completing the replacement of the blade head B.
[0025] Because the blade head B is sickle-shaped and the blade 4 has baffles on both sides, it is safer to use. It can ensure that the items inside the box are not damaged while opening the box, which greatly improves the product's cost performance.
[0026] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
