Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool holder technology, and in particular to a tool holder. Background Technology

[0002] In a home kitchen environment, the safe storage and convenient access to knives are important aspects of daily cooking activities. Traditional knife storage methods mostly rely on independent knife holders on the countertop or simple dividers in drawers. These methods mainly focus on basic blade protection and space arrangement. As kitchen space planning becomes more refined and users' requirements for safety and hygiene increase, knife holder design is no longer limited to a single storage function. It has gradually incorporated comprehensive considerations such as drainage and ventilation, classified storage, child safety locks, and matching with the overall aesthetics of modern kitchens.

[0003] Traditional knife holders are often single-function and loosely structured. The mixing of knives and cutlery can lead to hygiene and safety hazards. After washing, they are inconvenient to drain and tend to accumulate water on the countertop. Furthermore, the knives are often stored in a haphazard manner, which can cause other knives to be pulled out when retrieving a knife. This not only affects the normal use of the knives but may also cause accidental injuries due to knives slipping. In view of the above technical problems, this application proposes a knife holder. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a tool holder.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A knife holder includes a knife block for contacting a work surface;

[0007] The base is designed in a crescent shape and faces the user.

[0008] A storage frame is installed inside the base;

[0009] A protective cover is rotatably attached to the outside of the base;

[0010] When the protective cover is fully closed, the protective cover and the base together form a disc-shaped structure;

[0011] The storage frame is divided into a first storage area, a second storage area, and a third storage area from top to bottom. Drainage outlets are provided at the bottom of the first storage area, the second storage area, and the third storage area.

[0012] The second storage area is provided with an open top and bottom, and multiple first clamps and second clamps are provided in the opening at intervals. The first clamps are wavy.

[0013] The second clamp is straight and has a protrusion at a horizontal position corresponding to the recess of the first clamp.

[0014] Furthermore, ventilation holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the base.

[0015] Furthermore, the base has an arc-shaped inner wall for guiding water flowing out of the drain.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom of the base is provided with a water storage plate that can be pulled outwards.

[0017] Furthermore, a fixing rod is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base near the bottom, a rotating rod is rotatably installed on one side of the fixing rod, a float is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod, and a display block of different colors is provided at the top end of the rotating rod. The display block can extend out from the vent hole as the rotating rod rotates.

[0018] Furthermore, the items stored in the first, second, and third storage areas are all tilted.

[0019] Furthermore, a partition is provided in the third storage area, which divides the third storage area into a long storage area and a short storage area.

[0020] Furthermore, a first limiting block and a second limiting block are fixedly installed on the outside of the base, and the first limiting block and the second limiting block are used to fix the protective cover in the closed and open states, respectively.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0022] 1. This utility model, by setting up a first storage area, a second storage area, and a third storage area, clearly divides the storage frame into three storage areas from top to bottom. The first storage area is used to store longer kitchen utensils such as soup spoons, the third storage area is used to store shorter chopsticks and forks, and the second storage area in the middle is specifically used to store knives. Knives are inserted from above into the open openings of the second storage area, and their handles are supported on the upper surface of the clamps. This area, through the interval distribution and mutual cooperation of the wavy first clamp and the straight second clamp with corresponding protrusions, can adaptively clamp knives of different thicknesses and shapes from both sides, effectively preventing knives from shaking, colliding, or being dragged out together due to being pressed together during storage, thereby ensuring the safety and independence of taking out and putting in a single knife and reducing wear on the blade.

[0023] 2. By setting up a drain outlet and a water storage plate, the water carried by the cleaned knives and tableware can be naturally discharged through the drain outlet at the bottom of each storage area. Thanks to the arc-shaped inner wall design of the base, the water flowing out is effectively guided and collected in the water storage plate, avoiding water accumulation inside the knife holder or contamination of the countertop. Users only need to periodically remove the water storage plate to clean the wastewater.

[0024] 3. This utility model uses a float and a rotating rod. When the water in the water storage plate reaches a certain amount, the water will raise the float, thereby driving the rotating rod to rotate. Different colored display blocks are set at the top of the rotating rod and extend from the vent hole to provide users with a clear visual prompt that the water is full and needs to be cleaned.

[0036] Reference Figure 1-6 A tool holder, including a tool holder 1 for contacting a work surface;

[0037] Base 2 is designed in a crescent shape and faces the user;

[0038] The storage frame 3 is installed inside the base 2;

[0039] The protective cover 4 is rotatably connected to the outside of the base 2;

[0040] When the protective cover 4 is completely closed, the protective cover 4 and the base 2 together form a disc-shaped structure;

[0041] The storage frame 3 is divided into a first storage area 21, a second storage area 22, and a third storage area 5 from top to bottom. Drainage outlets 6 are provided at the bottom of the first storage area 21, the second storage area 22, and the third storage area 5.

[0042] The second storage area 22 is provided with an open top and bottom, and multiple first clamping plates 7 and second clamping plates 8 are provided in the opening in an alternating manner. The first clamping plate 7 is wavy.

[0043] The second clamping plate 8 is straight, and a protrusion 9 is provided at a horizontal position corresponding to the recess of the first clamping plate 7;

[0044] When in operation, the knife holder is placed on the table in a closed disc state, with a simple and unified overall appearance. When it is necessary to retrieve an item, the user can rotate and open the protective cover 4 to reveal the internal storage frame 3.

[0045] The storage box 3 is clearly divided into three storage areas from top to bottom. The first storage area 21 is used to store longer kitchen utensils such as soup spoons, and the third storage area 5 is used to store shorter chopsticks and forks.

[0046] The second storage area 22, located in the middle, is specifically for storing knives. The knives are inserted from above into the open openings of the second storage area 22, with their handles supported on the upper surface of the clamps. This area, through the interval distribution and mutual cooperation of the wavy first clamp 7 and the straight second clamp 8 with corresponding protrusions 9, can adaptively clamp knives of different thicknesses and shapes from both sides, effectively preventing knives from shaking, colliding, or being dragged out together due to being pressed together during storage. This ensures the safety and independence of taking out and putting in a single knife and reduces wear on the cutting edge.

[0047] Reference Figure 1 Specifically: Ventilation holes 10 are provided on both the left and right sides of the bottom of the base 2, which helps air circulation and accelerates internal drying.

[0048] Reference Figure 6 Specifically: the base 2 has an arc-shaped inner wall for guiding water flowing out from the drain 6.

[0049] Reference Figure 6 , Figure 9 Specifically: the bottom of the base 2 is provided with a water storage plate 11 that can be pulled outward;

[0050] In terms of hygiene and cleaning, the water carried by the cleaned knives and tableware can be naturally drained through the drain outlets 6 at the bottom of each storage area. Thanks to the arc-shaped inner wall design of the base 2, the water flowing out is effectively guided and collected in the water storage plate 11 for centralized collection, avoiding water accumulation inside the knife holder or contamination of the countertop. Users only need to periodically remove the water storage plate 11 to clean the wastewater.

[0051] Reference Figure 7-8 Specifically: a fixing rod 12 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the base 2 near the bottom. A rotating rod 13 is rotatably installed on one side of the fixing rod 12. A float ball 14 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the rotating rod 13. A display block 15 of different colors is provided at the top end of the rotating rod 13. The display block 15 can extend out from the vent 10 as the rotating rod 13 rotates.

[0052] Reference Figure 5 Specifically, the items stored in the first storage area 21, the second storage area 22, and the third storage area 5 are all in an inclined state.

[0053] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 5 Specifically: The third storage area 5 is provided with a partition 16, which divides the third storage area 5 into a long storage area 17 and a short storage area 18, so that chopsticks are placed in the long storage area 17 and forks are placed in the short storage area 18.

[0054] Reference Figure 1-2Specifically: a first limiting block 19 and a second limiting block 20 are fixedly installed on the outside of the base 2, and the first limiting block 19 and the second limiting block 20 are used to fix the protective cover 4 in the closed and open states, respectively.

[0055] When the water in the water storage plate 11 reaches a certain amount, the water will raise the float 14, thereby driving the rotating rod 13 to rotate. The top of the rotating rod 13 is equipped with display blocks 15 of different colors that extend from the vent 10, providing users with a prominent visual prompt that the water is full and needs to be cleaned.

[0056] Working principle: When working, the knife holder is placed on the table in a closed disc state, with a simple and uniform overall appearance. When it is necessary to take out an item, the user can rotate and open the protective cover 4 to expose the internal storage frame 3. The protective cover 4 is locked in the fully closed and fully open positions by the first limiting block 19 and the second limiting block 20 respectively, ensuring stability during use.

[0057] The storage box 3 is clearly divided into three storage areas from top to bottom. The first storage area 21 is used to store longer kitchen utensils such as soup spoons, and the third storage area 5 is used to store shorter chopsticks and forks. The third storage area 5 is further divided into a long storage area 17 and a short storage area 18 by a partition 16. In this way, chopsticks are placed in the long storage area 17 and forks are placed in the short storage area 18.

[0058] The second storage area 22, located in the middle, is specifically for storing knives. The knives are inserted from above into the open openings of the second storage area 22, and their handles are supported on the upper surface of the clamping plate. This area, through the interval distribution and mutual cooperation of the wavy first clamping plate 7 and the straight second clamping plate 8 with corresponding protrusions 9, can adaptively clamp knives of different thicknesses and shapes from both sides, effectively preventing knives from shaking, colliding, or being dragged out together due to being pressed together during storage. This ensures the safety and independence when taking out and putting in a single knife and reduces wear on the cutting edge.

[0059] Meanwhile, all items in the storage area are placed at an angle to facilitate drainage and optimize space utilization;

[0060] In terms of hygiene and cleaning, the water carried by the cleaned knives and tableware can be naturally drained through the drain outlets 6 at the bottom of each storage area. Thanks to the arc-shaped inner wall design of the base 2, the water flowing out is effectively guided and collected into the water storage plate 11 for centralized collection, avoiding water accumulation inside the knife holder or contaminating the countertop. Users only need to periodically pull out the water storage plate 11 to clean the wastewater.

[0061] In addition, the vent 10 helps air circulation and accelerates internal drying. When the water in the water storage plate 11 reaches a certain amount, the water will raise the float 14, thereby driving the rotating rod 13 to rotate. The top of the rotating rod 13 is equipped with display blocks 15 of different colors that extend out from the vent 10, providing users with a visual prompt that the water is full and needs to be cleaned.
