Description
558478 五、發明說明(1) 本發明係關於一種磨刀器,更具體而言之,特別是指 一種在磨刀器内裝設有一帶動組,利用該帶動組則可依刀 具刀刃厚薄而調整磨刀片之夾角設計者·。 一般市面上所看到的磨刀器(如第一圖所示),主要係 在主架體(1)上加裝一組磨刀片(11),而在磨刀片(11)上 開設有V形狀的凹槽(1 2 ),並將V形凹槽(1 2 )之内壁面(1 3)以較刀具更為堅硬的材質所製成;是故,一旦刀具受長 時間使用時,其刀刃處難免會鈍化,而無法使用,此時將 刀具之刀刃部置於該磨刀器之V形凹槽(1 2)内,同時將主 架體(1 )固定住,而後作動該刀具,使刀具在該V形凹槽( 12)内移動並與該壁面(13)產生摩擦,藉此可將刀具之刀 刃恢復到鋒利狀態,使刀具將可再次的使用;由上述習知 磨刀器結構及使用。方法可知,該磨刀器看似足以讓已鈍化 刀具之刀刃恢復到鋒利狀態,但經過深入的探討與研究, 不難發現還是具有缺陷的存在,其缺陷係在於:一般的磨 刀器只適用於厚薄較相近之刀具,如美工刀和雕刻刀等適 用於一種磨刀器,而料理刀、水果刀和菜刀因刀身厚度較 厚,故又須另一組磨刀器來搭配使用,而一般家庭所使用 之各刀具其刀身厚薄不一,故必須具備多組之磨刀器來搭 配使用,而購買多組不同之磨刀器,在·花費上也相對的較 為高,是故,在針對此缺陷,在求理想實用與進步之今曰 ,誠為一極待努力追求改善之目標。558478 V. Description of the invention (1) The present invention relates to a sharpener, more specifically, a driving group installed in the sharpener, and the driving group can be adjusted according to the thickness of the blade Designer of the angle between sharpening blades. Generally, the sharpeners (as shown in the first picture) seen on the market are mainly equipped with a set of sharpening blades (11) on the main frame (1), and V is provided on the sharpening blades (11). Shaped groove (1 2), and the inner wall surface (1 3) of the V-shaped groove (1 2) is made of a harder material than the tool; therefore, once the tool is used for a long time, its The knife edge will inevitably become passivated and cannot be used. At this time, the blade of the knife is placed in the V-shaped groove (1 2) of the sharpener, and the main body (1) is fixed at the same time, and then the knife is moved. The cutter is moved in the V-shaped groove (12) and caused to rub against the wall surface (13), thereby the blade of the cutter can be restored to a sharp state, so that the cutter can be used again; from the above-mentioned conventional sharpener Structure and use. The method shows that the sharpener seems to be enough to restore the sharpened edge of the passivated tool, but after in-depth discussion and research, it is not difficult to find that there are still defects. The drawback is that the general sharpener is only suitable for For thinner and thinner knives, such as utility knives and engraving knives, they are suitable for a sharpener, but cooking knives, fruit knives and kitchen knives are thicker than other knives. Each knife used in the family has a different blade thickness, so it is necessary to have multiple sets of sharpeners to use together, and the purchase of multiple different sets of sharpeners is relatively high in cost. Therefore, This defect, in the pursuit of ideals, practicality and progress, is an extremely urgent task to strive for improvement.
