Specifically, the first comb teeth 122 with a longer length can form deeper first guide slots 123 so that longer and denser beards can be combed during the shaving process; and because the first cutting edge 131 is exposed in the first guide slots 123 for a longer length, its edge is more exposed so that it can have a faster and more intense shaving effect: thus using the side of shaving head 1 with the first comb teeth 122 and the first cutting edge 131 in conjunction can shave longer and denser beards faster and get neatly combed shorter beards. While the second comb teeth 124 with a shorter length is more suitable for combing beards of shorter length, and can make the ends of the second guide slots 125 closer to a user's face, so that the distance between the second cutting edge 132 located on the other side of the shaving head land the user's face is shorter in the shaving process, allowing for an effective shaving of short beards; Further, the second cutting edge 132 is exposed in the second guide slots 125 for a shorter length and its edge is less exposed so that a more delicate and soft shaving effect can be obtained. Thus, the user can choose different sides of the shaving head 1 for different results depending on his shaving needs. When the user wants to shave longer and messy beards more thoroughly, he can use the side of the shaving head 1 with the first comb teeth 122 for an initial shave and then switch to the other side with the second comb teeth 124 for a more thorough shave.
Specifically, in this embodiment the spacing between the two adjacent first comb teeth 122 is greater than the spacing between the two adjacent second comb teeth 124, i.e. the width of the first guide slots 123 is greater than the width of the second guide slots 125. This allows the first guide slots 123 to easily accommodate more beards and is more suitable for users having longer thicker beards.
In some embodiments, the first guide slot 123 has a slot depth range of 1.5 mm to 2.0 mm, which may be specifically 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm, 2.0 mm, etc., in one embodiment is 1.7 mm. It will be appreciated that the slot depth range allows the first guide slot 123 to accommodate coarse, messy and longer beards, which is able to provide effective combing and guiding of the coarse or messy or longer beards for an initial shaving of the first cutting edge 131.
In some embodiments, the slot depth range of the second guide slot 125 is from 0.3 mm to 0.6 mm, for example, it may be 0.3 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.5 mm, 0.6 mm, etc., in one embodiment is 0.48 mm. It will be appreciated that the slot depth range allows the second guide slot 125 to guide the shorter beards and fit the user's face tightly, facilitating the second cutting edge 132 to shave the shorter beards for effectively.
Furthermore, the first comb teeth 122 and the second comb teeth 124 have a convex arc structure with a rounded transitional surface, which can effectively avoid scratching the user's facial skin when combing and guiding bears, improving the comfort and safety during use.
It will be appreciated that the guide slots may have different configurations depending on the design of the comb teeth or the carrying plate. For example, in the base shown in

Furthermore, the angle α formed between the tangent line between the edge of the cover body 11 near the side of the first cutting edge 131 and the outer edge of the first comb teeth 122 and the extension line of the first cutting edge 131 is 20° to 30°, for example, it may be 20°, 22°, 24°, 26°, 28°, 30°, etc. The angular fit between the cover body 11, the first comb teeth 122 and the first cutting edge 131 enables the cutting angle of the blade 13 to fit more closely to the face and improve the comfort of the shaving process while ensuring combing and guiding of thick, long and messy beards.
The handle 2 is attached to the base 12 of the shaving head 1. Specifically, in this embodiment, one end of the handle 2 is provided with a mounting hole 2a matching the connector 112 of the cover body 11. Passing through the connecting hole 12a of the base 12, the connector 112 of the cover body 11 is inserted into the mounting hole 2a of the handle 2, so that the handle 2 is removably attached to the base 12.
It will be appreciated that in some other embodiments, the shaving head 1 has an integrated cover body 11 and base 12, with a blade slot 12h retained between them to receive the blade 13. In this case, the handle 2 may either be integrally formed with the base 12 or may be attached to the base 12 in a detachable form.
This embodiment is a further embodiment of the razor described in the first embodiment.

The blade adjustment unit 3 includes an adjustment frame 31 and an auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32.
Also referring to
The auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 is used to provide auxiliary adjustment of the position of the adjustment frame 31 on the handle 2. In this embodiment, the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 is an adjusting knob 421 sleeved on the handle 2 and against the side of the adjustment frame 31 away from the base 12. A matching first drive thread pair 5 is provided between the knob 421 and the handle 2, turning the adjusting knob 421 along the matching first drive thread pair 5 allows the adjusting knob 421 to be moved up and down along the handle 2.
By controlling the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 up and down along the handle 2, the heights of the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313 through the base 12 are able to adjust so that the distances of the abutted first cutting edge 131 and the second cutting edge 132 to the base 12 are able to adjust and thus the intensity of cutting edges are changed. For example, when the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 moves towards the base 12, the adjustment frame 31 is pushed towards the base 12 and the heights of the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313 through the base 12 increase, causing the first cutting edge 131 and the second cutting edge 132 to be pushed up away from the base 12; and as the distances between the contact blocks and the cover body 11 become smaller, the blade 13 subjected to both forces at the same time decreases its deformation degree which makes its intensity increase, therefore suitable for people with thicker and harder beards. And when the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 moves away from the base 12, the adjustment frame 31 will follow the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 under the elastic force of the blade 13, so that the heights of the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313 through the base 12 decrease, and the distances between the first cutting edge 131 and the second cutting edge 132 to the base 12 also decrease accordingly; and as the distances between the contact blocks and the cover body 11 become larger, the deformation degree of the blade 13 also increases, resulting in a less intense and softer blade, suitable for people with finer and softer beards and more sensitive skin.
It will be appreciated that the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 is provided to enable the user to adjust the position of the adjustment frame 31 more conveniently and to indirectly achieve adjustment of the distances between the cutting edges and the base 12, as well as its degree of intensity. Therefore, except for the adjusting knob 421 used in this embodiment, in some other embodiments, the auxiliary adjusting mechanism 32 might also achieve the same auxiliary adjustment in other ways. While in some other embodiments, the blade adjustment unit 3 may also include only a contact block, and a user may directly adjust the position of the contact block on the handle 2, thus realizing the adjustment of the cutting edges.
In some embodiments, the adjustment frame 31 includes a plurality of first contact blocks 312 and the second contact blocks 313, which are spaced on the first surface 315 of the bed 311, respectively. Accordingly, the base 12 is also spaced with a corresponding quantity of first through-holes 12b and second through-holes 12c. The plurality of the first contact blocks 312 and the second contact blocks 313 provide a more even adjustment effect for the blade 13, while the spaced through-holes provide a stronger strength for the base 12.
In some embodiments, the adjusting frame 31 further includes at least one limit block 314, which is arranged on the first surface 315 of the bed 311 with a height less than the heights of the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313, and the difference between the heights of the first contact block 312 or second contact block 313 and the limit block 314 is less than the height of the blade slot 12h. The limit block 314 abuts against the base 12 when the adjustment frame 31 with the limit block 314 moves towards the base 12, so as to prevent the first contact block 312 or second contact block 313 passing through the through-holes for a length too much to damage to the blade 13.
In some embodiments, the limit block 314 is arranged between the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313 and attached to both. It can provide further support for the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313, in addition to play a limiting role. For the adjustment frame 31 including a plurality of first contact blocks 312 and the second contact blocks 313, a plurality of limit blocks 314 might also be provided accordingly, so that each first block 312 and second block 313 can obtain sufficient support, and the adjustment frame 31 has a better overall strength.
In some embodiments, in order to prevent the blade adjustment unit 3 from moving too far away the base 12 and disengaging the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313 from the base 12, the handle 2 is further provided with a first limit part 21 for limiting the blade adjustment unit 3. In this embodiment, the first limit part 21 is a bump arranged on the outside of the handle 2, with a distance from the base 12 less than the overall length of the blade adjustment unit 3. The first limit part 21 defines the maximum distance that the blade adjustment unit 3 can move away from the base 12, thus avoiding the situation where the first contact block 312 and the second contact block 313 are detached from the base 12 due to excessive movement.

The drive member 41 includes a connecting rod 412 and a hinge joint 411, one end of the connecting rod 412 attached to the hinge joint 411 and the other end of the connecting rod 412 passing through the connecting hole 12a in the base 12 and penetrating the handle 2. In this regard, the hinge joint 411 is unable to pass through the connecting hole 12a, as when the connecting rod 412 moves from the base 12 toward the handle 2, the hinge joint 411 is stuck on the side of the base 12 away from the handle 2.
Accordingly, the cover body 11 is arranged in a form with divided parts, which includes a first sub-cover 11a and a second sub-cover 11b arranged side by side, the first sub-cover 11a including a first sub-cover plate 111a and a first connecting arm 113a, the second sub-cover 11b including a second sub-cover plate 111b and a second connecting arm 113b, the first connecting arm 113a and the second connecting arm 113b respectively arranged on the sides of the first sub-cover plate 111a and the second sub-cover plate 111b near the base 12. In this regard, the first connecting arm 113a and the second connecting arm 113b are respectively rotatably attached to the hinge joint 411, both of which rotate around the hinge joint 411 in opposite directions to bring the first and second sub-cover plates 111a and 111b together, or separate the sub-cover plate 111a and the second sub-cover plate 111b from each other. In addition, the base 12 is provided with a first limit element 12d and a second limit element 12e, both of which are able to restrict the first connecting arm 113a and the second connecting arm 113b, respectively, thereby limiting their moving paths.
Specifically, in this embodiment, the first limit element 12d and the second limit element 12e of the base 12 are hooks arranged respectively on opposite sides of the carrying plate 121 and protruding towards each other. And the end of the first connecting arm 113a of the first sub-cover 11a away from the first sub-cover plate 111a is bent to form a first limit hook 113c; and the end of the second connecting arm 113b of the second sub-cover 11b away from the second sub-cover plate 111b is bent to form a second limit hook 113d. The first limit hook 113c and the second limit hook 113d extend in opposite directions after respectively attached to the hinge joint 411. The first limit hook 113c and the second limit hook 113d are oriented in opposite directions and are hooked by the first limit element 12d and the second limit element 12e respectively, after the first sub-cover 11a and the second sub-cover 11b are assembled to the base 12. The hinge joint 411 of the drive member 41 is attached to the bending parts of the first limit hook 113c and the second limit hook 113d, respectively.
Thereby, when the drive member 41 moves along the handle 2 towards the base 12, the connection part of the first connecting arm 113a and the second connecting arm 113b with the hinge joint 411 will follow the movement of the drive member 41 and move away from the base 12, and at the same time, the first connecting arm 113a and the second connecting arm 113b are unable to leave the base 12 as a whole due to the hooking of the first limit element 12d or second limit element 12e, but able to only rotate around the first limit element 12d or second limit element 12e and drive the first sub-cover 11a and the second sub-cover 11b to rotate around the hinge joint 411 in opposite directions and move away from each other to separate the first sub-cover plate 111a and the second sub-cover plate 111b to open the cover body. And when the drive member 41 moves in the opposite direction, the connection points of the first connecting arm 113a and the second connecting arm 113b with the hinge joint 411 will follow the drive member 41 to move closer to the base 12, while the two connecting arms are only able to rotate around the first limit element 12d or the second limit element 12e due to the hooking of the first limit element 12d or second limit element 12e and drive the first sub-cover 11a and the second sub-cover 11b to rotate around the hinge joint 411 in opposite directions different from previous directions and move towards each other to bring the first sub-cover plate 111a and the second sub-cover plate 111b together to close the cover body.
It will be appreciated that the limit elements serve to limit the way in which the connecting arms are unable to move to detach from the base 12 as a whole and thus limit its movement. For example, in some other embodiments, the connecting arm may be hinged to both the limit elements of the base 12 and the connecting part of the drive member 41, which may also achieve the above effect.
Alternatively, in some other embodiments, the cover body 11 may be a single unit without being divided into a first sub-cover 11a and a second sub-cover 11b, which includes a cover plate and a connecting arm, in which the connecting arm is arranged on the side of the cover plate near the base and is pivotally attached to an articulated portion of the drive member. Correspondingly, the base is provided with a limit element for restraining the connecting arm. Thereby, when the drive member moves up and down along the handle, the cover body will rotate around the articulated portion to open or close along one side of the base.
The control assembly 42 includes a knob 421 and an internal rotating block 422, in which the knob 421 is attached to the end of the handle 2 away from the base 12 and is rotatable about the handle 2. The internal rotating block 422 is snapped on the connecting rod 412 of the drive member 41 and is arranged inside the knob 421. In this regard, the inner side of the knob 421 and the outer side of the internal rotation block 422 are provided with a matching second drive thread pair 6. With the cooperation of the second drive thread pair 6, the internal rotating block 422 is able to move up and down within the knob 421 by simply turning the knob 421, thus driving the connecting rod 412 to move relative to the handle 2 and realize the opening and closing of the cover body 11.
In some embodiments, the knob 421 is attached to the end of the handle 2 by means of a snap spring. In other embodiments, the knob 421 may also be otherwise attached to the handle 2 as long as it is rotatable around the handle 2 and will not detach from the handle 2. In some embodiments, the internal rotating block 422 is also snap-fitted within the knob 421 by means of a snap spring, which effectively prevents the internal rotating block 422 from detaching from the knob 421.
In some embodiments, the control assembly 42 further includes a top tightening member 423, and the connecting rod 412 is provided with a first stuck element 412a and a second stuck element 412b, in which the internal rotating block 422 is arranged between the first stuck element 412a and the second stuck element 412b, and the top tightening member 423 is arranged between the internal rotating block 422 and the second stuck element 412b and fastens the internal rotating block 422 to the first stuck element 412a, thereby enabling the internal rotating block 422 to be stuck on the connecting rod 412. Specifically, the top tightening member 423 might be an elastic part in compression state, which able to exert continuous pressure on the internal rotating block 422 and tighten it to the first stuck element 412a, so that the internal rotating block 422 needs to overcome more resistance to be rotated, which able to avoid a user to open the cover body 11 by mistake. In some embodiments, the second stuck element 412b may be detachably arranged on the connecting rod 412 so that a user can conveniently disassemble, replace parts and reassemble the razor as a whole.
Although the invention has been illustrated and described in greater detail with reference to the preferred exemplary embodiment, the invention is not limited to the examples disclosed, and further variations can be inferred by a person skilled in the art, without departing from the scope of protection of the invention.
For the sake of clarity, it is to be understood that the use of “a” or “an” throughout this application does not exclude a plurality, and “comprising” does not exclude other steps or elements.
