Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ceramic products technology, specifically to a ceramic craft that can be used to store kitchen knives. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic handicrafts, with their excellent color retention, rich colors, and high ornamental and decorative value, have become a timeless decorative element for homes and public spaces. Their unique artistic beauty even endows some pieces with collectible value, making them increasingly popular.

[0003] However, with the improvement of living standards, ceramic handicrafts with only decorative functions can no longer meet the increasingly diversified needs of consumers. Meanwhile, a common kitchen tool—a knife rack—is primarily designed to neatly store various knives, preventing safety hazards and countertop clutter caused by scattered placement. Currently, most knife racks on the market prioritize practicality, often lacking in aesthetic design.

[0004] Therefore, how to innovatively integrate the artistic beauty and durability of ceramic handicrafts with the practical storage function of kitchen knife racks to create home furnishings that combine practical value and artistic appreciation has become the core issue that this application urgently needs to address. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a ceramic craft that can be used to store kitchen knives.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a ceramic craft for storing kitchen knives, comprising a ceramic base, a whale-shaped craft body, and a knife slot formed on the craft body; the craft body is rotatably mounted on the ceramic base via a rotating mechanism;

[0007] The rotating mechanism includes: a central shaft fixed to the ceramic base and a turntable sleeved on the central shaft. The turntable is detachably connected to the main body of the craft and can rotate around the central shaft to drive the main body of the craft to rotate.

[0008] Furthermore, a strip-shaped whetstone is embedded at the tail of the artifact, the whetstone being made of white corundum.

[0009] Furthermore, the turntable is provided with a limiting groove, and the bottom of the craft body is provided with a limiting block that cooperates with the limiting groove. The cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting groove fixes the craft body on the turntable and prevents it from rotating relative to the turntable.

[0010] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly provided on the edge of the turntable, and the handle extends radially out of the turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, a support block is fixedly installed on the central axis, located below the turntable to support its weight;

[0030] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-5 As shown in the preferred embodiment of this utility model, a ceramic craft for storing kitchen knives includes a ceramic base 1, a whale-shaped craft body 2, and a knife slot 3 formed on the craft body. The craft body 2 is rotatably mounted on the ceramic base 1 via a rotating mechanism 4. The rotating mechanism 4 includes a central shaft 401 fixed to the ceramic base 1 and a turntable 402 sleeved on the central shaft. The turntable 402 is detachably connected to the craft body 2, and the turntable 402 can rotate around the central shaft 401 to drive the craft body to rotate. This achieves a creative combination of the whale-shaped ceramic craft body and the knife storage function, realizing efficient storage of kitchen utensils while significantly improving the decorative effect of the kitchen environment, breaking the technical prejudice of the traditional knife holder's single function.

[0032] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: a strip-shaped whetstone 11 is embedded at the tail of the craft body 2. The whetstone 11 is made of white corundum. The white corundum whetstone (400-600 mesh) embedded at the tail supports rapid blade sharpening in 5-10 seconds, improves cutting performance by 50%, and reduces the purchase cost of special sharpening equipment.

[0033] In this embodiment, the turntable 402 is provided with a limiting groove, and the bottom of the craft body is provided with a limiting block that cooperates with the limiting groove. The craft body 2 is fixed on the turntable 402 by the cooperation of the limiting block and the limiting groove and prevents it from rotating relative to the turntable. Thus, the quick-release limiting block groove structure enables the craft body to be separated from the base in seconds, solving the problem of cleaning ceramic parts.

[0034] In this embodiment, a handle 7 is fixedly provided on the edge of the turntable 402, and the handle 7 extends radially out of the turntable 402. This facilitates driving the turntable to rotate via the handle 7.

[0035] In this embodiment, a support block 8 is fixedly installed on the central shaft 401, located below the turntable 402 to support its weight;

[0036] An upper limit ring 9 is located above the turntable 402 to limit its axial movement;

[0037] The radial limiting ring 10 has ratchet teeth on its outer circumferential surface;

[0038] The inner wall of the turntable 402 is provided with an elastic pawl, which engages with the ratchet teeth to restrict the unidirectional rotation of the turntable 402;

[0039] The support block 8 is in contact with the lower surface of the turntable 402, and the upper limit ring 6 is in contact with the upper surface of the turntable 402. The 15° segmented positioning can be achieved by the engagement of the ratchet and the elastic pawl, and the hovering stability at any angle is >98%.

[0040] Therefore, when the handle 7 is turned to drive the turntable 402 to rotate, the pawl can slide over the ratchet; when the handle is released, the pawl is engaged with the ratchet under the action of the elastic element, preventing the turntable 402 from rotating freely, thus realizing the positioning of the turntable 402 at multiple angular positions.

[0041] In this embodiment, a locking mechanism 5 and an unlocking structure 6 matching the locking mechanism are also included. The locking mechanism 5 includes a first limiting plate 501, a second limiting plate 502 and a third limiting plate 503. The ends of the first limiting plate 501 and the second limiting plate 502 facing the opening of the insert groove 3 are arc-shaped. A first spring 504 is provided between the first limiting plate 501 and the insert groove 3, and a second spring 505 is provided between the second limiting plate 502 and the third limiting plate 503. The first limiting plate 501 and the second limiting plate 502 can be elastically moved by the pressure of the tool to clamp the side wall of the tool. Specifically, in use, hold the knife to be placed inside the craft body 2, aligning the tip of the knife with the opening of the knife insertion slot 3 inside the craft body 2, and then push the knife into the knife insertion slot 3. At this time, the blade will abut against the first limiting plate 501 set in the knife insertion slot 3, and the back of the blade will abut against the second limiting plate 502 set in the knife insertion slot 3. Since the side of the first limiting plate 501 and the second limiting plate 502 facing the opening of the knife insertion slot 3 is arc-shaped, the knife can be pushed into the knife insertion slot 3 relatively smoothly. During the process of the knife being pushed into the knife insertion slot 3, the first limiting plate 501 and the second limiting plate 502 will be displaced away from the knife due to the pressure of the knife. The first spring 504, which is located between the first limiting plate 501 and the knife insertion slot 3, and the second spring 505, which is located between the second limiting plate 502 and the third limiting plate 503, are compressed. At this time, the knife is continuously pushed into the knife insertion slot 3. When the knife body is fully inserted into the knife insertion slot 3, the first limiting plate 501 is no longer compressed by the knife body. At this time, the first spring 504 located in the first limiting plate 501 and the knife insertion slot 3 begins to reset, causing the first limiting plate 501 to spring back to its initial position, thereby locking the tail of the knife body and preventing the knife 4 from being displaced backward and pulled out. At this time, the craft body 2 with the knife inserted can be placed in the area where decoration is needed without worrying about the knife being pulled out by unrelated people and causing safety hazards.

[0042] The unlocking mechanism 6 includes a drive head 601 and a vertically arranged transmission component 602. The drive head 601 is located at the head of the craft body 2 and is threadedly connected to the transmission component 602. The third limiting plate 503 is fixedly connected to the transmission component 602. By rotating the drive head 601, the transmission component 602 and the third limiting plate 503 can be driven to move downward synchronously. The bottom end of the transmission component 602 is provided with a wedge-shaped block. When the transmission component 602 moves downward, the wedge-shaped block abuts against the first limiting plate 501 and forces it to move towards the side wall of the knife insertion slot, thereby achieving intelligent unlocking. However, since the second limiting plate 502 is pressing the knife body more tightly at this time, the knife needs to be pulled out with a little force by the operator. This design can prevent the knife from sliding out of the knife insertion slot 3 or being easily pulled out by a child with little strength when the drive head 601 is not rotated back to reset the first limiting plate 501, thus ensuring its safety.

[0043] Without causing conflict, those skilled in the art can freely combine and use the above-mentioned additional technical features.

[0044] It is understood that this utility model has been described through some embodiments, and those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes or equivalent substitutions can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are within the protection scope of this utility model.
