Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chopstick holder technology, specifically to a wall-mounted chopstick holder rack. Background Technology

[0002] Chopstick holders are generally cylindrical structures made of bamboo, plastic, or metal. The body of the holder has ventilation holes, and the bottom has a drip hole to allow water from the chopsticks to drain out, preventing water from accumulating at the bottom and causing mold and damage to the chopstick ends. Existing technology, such as patent publication number CN210227939U, discloses a chopstick holder and a kitchen rack with the same holder, including a holder body and a water collection box. The bottom wall of the holder body has drainage holes, and the bottom wall also has an annular protrusion that surrounds the outlet end of the drainage holes. The outer wall of the annular protrusion has at least two symmetrically arranged slots, each slot... Each slot includes a downward-opening inlet slot and a locking slot connected to one side of the inlet slot. The inner wall of the water collection box opening is provided with at least two locking blocks. The water collection box is fitted onto the bottom of the chopstick holder body. The locking blocks enter the locking slot through the inlet slot and are rotated at a certain angle to lock into the locking slot. The kitchen storage rack includes a base, front panel, back panel, left side panel, right side panel, hanging rod, hook, and chopstick holder. The device has a simple and compact structure and is easy to assemble. The water collection box can effectively collect the water accumulated in the chopstick holder and can be easily and conveniently removed for regular cleaning. However, the chopstick holder only relies on natural ventilation and drainage holes for drainage, which is not conducive to further improving the drying speed of chopsticks and reducing bacterial growth.

[0031] See the example. Figure 1-4 As shown:

[0032] A wall-mounted chopstick holder rack includes a rack 1, on which a chopstick holder 2 and a water tray 3 are installed. The water tray 3 is located below the chopstick holder 2. A chopstick container 20 is arranged inside the chopstick holder 20. A spoon and fork container 21 is provided on the front side of the chopstick container 20. The connecting wall between the chopstick holder 2 and the spoon and fork container 21 is set as a ventilation mesh wall 22.

[0033] The chopstick holder 20 includes several partition strips. The bottom surface of the chopstick holder 2 is set as a drainage mesh surface. Support plates 23 are provided at both ends of the partition strips. The support plates 23 are installed on the inner side wall of the chopstick holder 2. A fan 4 is arranged below the support plate 23. The air outlet direction of the fan 4 is inclined downward. The partition strip includes an inclined guide part 24 and a central vertical part 25. The guide surface of the inclined guide part 24 is connected to the vertical surface of the central vertical part 25. Several partition protrusions 26 for separating different chopsticks are arranged at intervals on the vertical surface. Preferably, two partition strips are a group. When in use, chopsticks are inserted between two partition strips. The inclined guide part 24 helps to guide the chopsticks to the insertion position between the two partition strips. The end of the chopstick used to pick up food is placed downward and in contact with the drainage mesh surface. The distance between the partition protrusion 26 and the corresponding partition protrusion 26 on the opposite vertical surface is less than the diameter of the chopsticks. The distance between two adjacent partition protrusions 26 on each partition strip is not less than the width of a pair of chopsticks.

[0034] In one embodiment, the wall of the chopstick container 20 on the rear side of the fan 4 is provided with an air inlet 17, and the air inlet 17 is provided with a filter screen.
