Background Art

[0002] The kitchen has always been one of the most important places in family life. In the kitchen, people need to use chopping boards and knives to cut vegetables, fruits, fish, etc. More and more families are gradually using multiple chopping boards to cut vegetables, meat and fruits separately.

[0003] Scientific investigations in recent years have found that bacteria, parasites, and viral infections in many households are related to poor hygiene of kitchen cutting boards. Cutting boards are prone to harboring dirt and bacteria, or breeding bacteria, mold, parasites, etc., which can lead to health problems such as diarrhea. This is because the air humidity in the kitchen is relatively high, and the cutting board itself cannot be wiped completely dry. The tiny residues on the cutting board are generally more likely to breed bacteria in a humid environment for 3-4 hours. In this way, the bacteria grown on the cutting board will spread to the food when you use the cutting board to cut vegetables next time, which may cause potential health problems.

[0004] When many families use multiple cutting boards, they are inconvenient to store and their placement is messy. However, the kitchen area of ​​most families is very limited, which makes the kitchen even more messy.

[0005] In short, existing cutting boards, knives, etc. are prone to breeding bacteria and viruses, odor contamination, inconvenient storage, not beautiful, not convenient to store and not safe, etc. Even if you buy some conventional cutting boards or knife storage products, they usually do not have disinfection and sterilization functions.

[0043] The product name described in this patent is a cutting board storage device with disinfection and sterilization function, which may also be called a cutting board disinfector or a cutting board storage device or a cutting board sterilizer, etc. The specific name does not limit its protection scope, and the specific protection scope shall be subject to the claims.

[0044] According to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.11 As shown, the chopping board storage described in this patent mainly includes the following components: a first component, a chopping board storage base 100, a UV ultraviolet lamp 101, a reflective surface 102, a magnetic adsorption mechanism 103 of the first component, a separation through hole 104, a power control module 105, an anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106, a remote control module 107, a drain trough 108, a fan 109, and a stabilizing bracket or suction cup 110; a second component, a chopping board rack 200, a chopping board storage slot 201, a chopping board rack magnetic adsorption component 202, a chopping board rack shock absorbing component 203, a knife or chopstick storage slot 204, and a limit block 205; a third component, a chopping board 300, a handle portion 301 of the chopping board, and an anti-slip component 302 of the handle portion.

[0045] According to the attached Figure 1 To Attachment Fig.11It can be known that one embodiment is that the first component anvil storage base 100 presents a cubic structure as a whole, and the UV ultraviolet lamp 101 and the power control module 105 are both arranged at the end of one side of the first component anvil storage base 100. The second component anvil rack 200 is arranged in the cavity of the anvil storage base 100, and the anvil rack 200 is provided with an anvil storage slot 201, and a knife and chopstick storage slot 204. A switch is arranged on the top of the anvil storage base 100. When the third component anvil 300 is placed in the designated station of the anvil storage slot 201 of the anvil rack 200, the switch is activated, and the anvil 300 can be disinfected by the UV ultraviolet lamp 101. If the anvil 300 is taken out midway, the UV ultraviolet lamp 101 will stop working. The anvil storage slot 201 is an open storage slot in both the vertical direction and the horizontal direction, so the user can take and place the anvil 300 at any angle between the vertical direction and the horizontal direction. Furthermore, the cutting board rack 200 can also be disassembled for cleaning. Figure 5 It can be seen that the cutting board rack 200 can be configured as a grid-like hollow structure. Figure 6 It can be seen that the anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106 is arranged at the bottom corner diagonal of the first component cutting board storage base 100, and the anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106 can be a micro switch. Figure 6 Also visible is the chopping board frame shock absorbing component 203. The knife storage slot and the chopstick storage slot can be a reused knife or chopstick storage slot 204, because the diameter of the chopsticks is about the same as the thickness of the knife.

[0046] The specific product structure and working principle are described in further detail below.

[0047] According to the attached Figure 1-11 It can be known that the main components of the product described in this patent are the first component, the cutting board storage base 100, the second component, the cutting board rack 200, and the third component, the cutting board 300.

[0048] The cutting board storage base 100 is provided with a UV ultraviolet lamp and a power module. Most of the top of the cutting board sterilizer base 100 is omitted, and one side of the base is also omitted, that is to say, a separate shell or cover is not required to cover these two surfaces. Preferably, once the second component cutting board rack 200 is placed in the cavity of the cutting board storage base 100, the connection parts of the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 at the top and side are basically closed or tightly fitted, which is equivalent to directly forming the top and side wall of the cutting board storage. It should be emphasized that the "closed and tightly fitting" connection method does not mean absolutely 100% sealed or closed, nor does it mean that it must be 100% fitted. In this patent, it mainly refers to that the gap at the connection part is small, so that the ultraviolet light basically does not leak, and it is ensured to be within the safe numerical range.

[0049] Preferably, the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 are detachably connected, such as by magnetic adsorption or snap-on locking. Preferably, the first component cutting board storage base is connected to the cutting board by magnetic adsorption.

[0050] The patented product includes a UV lamp 101. The UV lamp 101 is arranged at the side end of the cutting board storage base 100, preferably a U-shaped lamp tube, at least one. LED UV lamps can also be used. Since LED UV lamps are small in size, they can be installed on multiple sides of the inner wall of the base, which can make the product thickness smaller and make the UV light irradiation more comprehensive. However, the cost of LED UV lamps is relatively high at present. Multiple straight UV lamps can also be used, all of which are within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0051] The U-shaped UV lamp usually uses a power of 5-20 watts. Generally speaking, a 10-15 watt UV lamp can kill E. coli by irradiating it for 30 seconds, and it may take about 15 minutes for other bacteria. The U-shaped UV lamp is set at the side end of the cutting board storage device, and the U-shaped lamp tube is correspondingly provided with a light-transmitting port, and the light-transmitting port is correspondingly provided with a cutting board, and the ultraviolet light on the U-shaped arc side can irradiate the knives or chopsticks in the knife or chopstick storage slot 204 set in the middle.

[0052] Preferably, the UV lamp 101 is arranged on the side of the cutting board rack 200, which means that the UV lamp 101 is not arranged on the front side relative to the cutting board surface. Of course, the UV lamp can also be arranged on the front side of the cutting board, so that the entire cutting board storage product will become thicker, and the number of UV lamps required is more, because the cutting board needs to be sterilized on both sides, and the UV lamp is arranged on the side end, so that a U-shaped UV lamp can sterilize multiple sides of multiple cutting boards at the same time.

[0053] The cutting board storage product of the present patent further includes a reflective surface 102. Preferably, the present patent adopts a multi-angle reflective surface technical solution. In one embodiment, since the cutting board 300 is in the form of a sheet, the cutting board storage is usually designed with a book-like cube structure in order to reduce the volume, so the UV lamp 101 is preferably arranged at the end of the side of the cutting board storage. In order to allow the UV ultraviolet lamp to more fully irradiate the cutting board surface, the present patent sets one or more reflective surfaces 102 on the inner surface of the cutting board storage base 100 or the cutting board rack 200, such as a mirror or a metal reflector or an electroplated reflector. For example, one or more reflective surfaces 102 are set on the inner walls of two sides or / and three sides of the inner surface of the cutting board storage.

[0054] Preferably, the reflective surface 102 has a certain tilt angle or a reflective arc for better reflection. Preferably, the cutting board rack 200 is configured as a partially hollow structure, such as a hollow grid-like frame structure, see Figure 3-5, which is convenient for the ultraviolet light to pass through the cutting board rack 200, and is more conducive to multiple reflections and irradiation of the cutting board 300 and the knife. The multiple reflection surfaces 102 are arranged to facilitate multiple reflections at multiple angles, and the cutting board and the knife are sterilized and disinfected in all directions, thereby improving the sterilization and disinfection effect of the ultraviolet light.

[0055] Preferably, the product includes a first component magnetic adsorption or snap-lock connection mechanism 103. The first component cutting board storage base 100 and the second component cutting board rack 200 are connected by magnetic adsorption or snap-lock connection; the second component cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board 300 are connected by magnetic adsorption.

[0056] In view of the technical solution of connecting the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 in a detachable manner by magnetic adsorption, the first component cutting board storage base 100 is provided with a separation through hole 104 for separating the cutting board rack 200. The separation through hole 104 is provided at the bottom of the cutting board storage base as a through hole structure, so that the fingers can directly pass through the hollow through hole structure to push open the magnetic adsorption connection between the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100, thereby utilizing a minimalist, low-cost separation through hole structure to improve the convenience of users taking out the cutting board rack. Furthermore, the cutting board rack removal structure is provided at an end away from the bottom drain trough 108.

[0057] The first component, the cutting board storage base 100, includes a power control module 105, which includes a circuit structure and a switch. The circuit structure may further include a control chip and a wifi module or a Bluetooth module to better realize automatic cycle work control, or remote monitoring and control. The product is provided with a one-button start switch, which allows the UV ultraviolet lamp 101 of the cutting board storage to perform regular disinfection work, and the working time can be set to 5 minutes to 20 minutes as needed, preferably 10 minutes to 15 minutes. Furthermore, the cutting board storage can automatically cycle sterilization, and can be set to automatically start the UV ultraviolet lamp disinfection work every 3 to 4 hours as needed, for 15-30 minutes each time, to further optimize the sterilization and disinfection effect.

[0058] Preferably, the power control module 105 is arranged at the side end of the cutting board storage base, which is safer, waterproof, and not easy to be damaged, especially the circuit structure is not arranged at the bottom of the cutting board storage base. The circuit structure and the UV ultraviolet lamp 101 are all arranged at the side end of the cutting board storage base, and the switch is arranged at the top of the side end of the base, so that the open cavity on the other side of the base is used to place the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board 300. In this way, the "dry and wet separation" of chopping board storage can be achieved, because, on the one hand, chopping board 300 often works with water during use, and when placed in chopping board rack 200, it may not be wiped dry and still have water, and this water will flow to the lower part of chopping board rack 200 and the base of the chopping board storage. On the other hand, chopping board rack 200 and chopping board storage base 100 can be set to a magnetic adsorption mode or a snap-on locking connection mode as needed, which is easy to disassemble and clean directly and quickly without any other tools, while the lower part of the chopping board storage is prone to water accumulation, and during use, it may be wiped with a wet rag, so the circuit system is arranged at the side end, which is safer.

[0059] A preferred solution is that the product further includes an anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106, which can be a micro switch or an infrared sensor. In actual use, due to misoperation, including but not limited to, children randomly pressing buttons, or the cutting board rack is not placed in the designated station or the cutting board is not placed in the designated station, the switch is activated, resulting in the leakage of UV ultraviolet light and causing certain safety problems. In order to prevent UV leakage or children's misoperation, it is very necessary to set a mechanism to prevent ultraviolet light leakage in the patented product. The anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106 can be a micro switch or an infrared sensor, and the specific setting position of the anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106 is also selective. How to use a more simple and safe structure to achieve such functions is challenging. Several technical solutions are introduced as follows.

[0060] One technical solution of the anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106 is to use a micro switch. The micro switch is a contact mechanism with a small contact spacing and a quick-action mechanism. It uses a specified stroke and a specified force to perform a switch action. It is a switch with a driving rod outside. Because the contact spacing of the switch is relatively small, it is called a micro switch, also known as a sensitive switch. The external mechanical force acts on the action reed through a transmission element (a pin, a button, a lever, a roller, etc.). When the action reed moves to a critical point, an instantaneous action is generated, so that the moving contact at the end of the action reed is quickly connected or disconnected with the fixed contact.

[0061] Considering that it is not suitable to set up a circuit on the cutting board rack 200, because the cutting board rack 200 may be disassembled and taken out for washing, a solution of the present patent is that a micro switch is set on the cutting board storage base 100, and the corresponding cutting board rack 200 is set as a hollow structure near the bottom corner of the cutting board storage base. The purpose is that when the cutting board 300 is placed in the designated station of the cutting board rack 200, the edge of the cutting board 300 can contact the micro switch set at the bottom corner of the cutting board storage base 100 through the hollow structure of the cutting board rack 200, so that the product can work normally and start the UV ultraviolet. If the cutting board 300 is not inserted into the designated station and / or the cutting board rack 200 is not placed in the designated station, the edge of the cutting board 300 will not be able to contact the micro switch set at the bottom corner of the cutting board storage base, and the product will not work properly. At this time, a UV working indicator light will be red or flashing alarm, and stop working. When the consumer takes out the cutting board 300, it will also stop working automatically. The arrangement has an ingenious structure, is low in cost, and effectively improves product safety.

[0062] Preferably, a first micro switch is provided between the cutting board storage base 100 and the cutting board 300, and the cutting board can work normally only when the cutting board is placed in a designated position. Preferably, a second micro switch is provided between the cutting board storage base 100 and the cutting board rack 200, and the cutting board can work normally only when the cutting board rack 200 is placed in a designated position. Preferably, when the cutting board 300 is placed in a designated position, and when the cutting board rack 200 is also placed in a designated position, the first micro switch and the second micro switch can work normally at the same time, and the entire product can work.

[0063] Another technical solution for the anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106 is to use an infrared sensor. Preferably, the infrared sensor is set at the bottom of the base, similar to the position of a micro switch. Multiple infrared sensors can also be set to monitor whether the chopping board rack 200 is placed in the designated work station and whether the chopping board 300 is placed in the designated work station. Only after the chopping board and the chopping board rack are placed in the designated work station can the product work normally.

[0064] The bottom corner diagonal position of the cutting board storage base 100 is the preferred position for the anti-ultraviolet light leakage mechanism 106 to be disposed.

[0065] If the cutting board rack 200 is a non-detachable structure, it is only necessary to monitor whether the cutting board 300 is in place.

[0066] The product further includes a remote control module 107. A Bluetooth module or a Wi-Fi module can be added to the product as the remote control module 107, so that it can be connected to the network, and remotely controlled through a mobile terminal APP, such as an App on a mobile phone, to remotely control the product, so as to facilitate the remote start of the sterilization work in advance after get off work or travel. Furthermore, the power control module includes a related chip that can count the number of times the cutting board is disinfected. When the specified number of times, such as 2000 times, is reached, the mobile terminal or the product itself is fed back to show that the cutting board is due for replacement, thereby reminding the user to replace the cutting board with a new one at intervals, which is conducive to providing a healthier lifestyle.

[0067] The bottom of the cutting board storage base 100 is provided with a drain trough 108, which is provided at the bottom and can be provided within the length range of the entire bottom or part of the bottom. The connection portion between the bottom of the cutting board storage base and the drain trough 108 can be slightly inclined to facilitate better drainage. The drain trough 108 is connected to the cutting board storage base 100 through a magnetic adsorption structure. Preferably, the magnetic adsorption structure of the drain trough 108 and the cutting board storage base 100, and the magnetic adsorption structure of the cutting board storage base 100 and the cutting board 300 can be a shared part of the magnetic adsorption component; or, the magnetic adsorption structure of the drain trough 108 and the cutting board storage base 100, the magnetic adsorption structure of the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board 300 can be a shared part of the magnetic adsorption component, further simplifying the structure and reducing costs.

[0068] The bottom of the cutting board rack 200 is a hollow frame structure or is provided with a water leakage hole, and the water leakage hole can be provided in a partial area. Further, the bottom plate of the cutting board rack 200 is slightly inclined, and the water flows down to the water leakage hole or the water leakage port, thereby reducing the volume of the cutting board drain groove 108. Preferably, the drain groove 108 only occupies 30%-50% of the length range of the bottom of the cutting board storage base. In addition, the other side of the bottom of the cutting board sterilizer base 100 is provided with an opening structure for taking out the cutting board rack 200, that is, a separation through hole 104.

[0069] The cutting board storage base 100 is provided with a fan 109, which is installed at the end or side of the cutting board storage base 100, and can accelerate the drying of the cutting board 300 or the knife, which is conducive to eliminating the environment for the breeding of bacteria.

[0070] The bottom of the cutting board storage base 100 further includes a stabilizing bracket or suction cup 110, so that the cutting board storage is placed on the table more stably and not easy to tip over. Furthermore, the stabilizing bracket at the bottom of the cutting board storage base 100 is a retractable structure, which can be rotated or extended to a certain angle, and expanded to make the support more stable; or the suction cup is plural.

[0071] The anvil storage device described in the present patent includes a second component anvil rack 200, and the connection between the second component anvil rack 200 and the first component anvil storage device base 100 is an integrated molding method, or a detachable method of bolt and screw fixing, or a detachable connection method of magnetic adsorption or snap locking.

[0072] The cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 are fixed by bolts and screws. When removing the cutting board rack, a screwdriver or other tools are needed. Although it is not as easy as magnetic adsorption which can be removed by hand without other tools, it can still be removed.

[0073] One design of the patented product is: the top of the cavity of the cutting board storage base 100 is directly open, without an additional cover to block ultraviolet light, so that the second component cutting board rack 200 can be directly placed into the work station from the top of the cavity of the cutting board storage base 100, and correspondingly, the cutting board rack is provided with a cutting board storage slot 201, and the cutting board 300 can be directly placed into the work station from the cutting board storage slot 201 at the top of the cutting board storage base 100, and the consumer can directly take and place the cutting board and the cutting board rack in the vertical direction. The contact between the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 and the cutting board 300 at the top that is connected to the outside world is a close fit connection or a basically closed connection, which can prevent most ultraviolet light leakage. In this embodiment, there is no separate cover covering the cutting board storage slot.

[0074] Another design of the patented product is: the side end of the cutting board storage base 100 is directly open, without an additional cover to block ultraviolet light, so that the second component cutting board rack 200 can be directly placed into the work station from the side end of the cavity of the cutting board storage base 100, and correspondingly, the cutting board rack is provided with a cutting board storage groove 201, and the cutting board 300 can be directly placed into the work station from the cutting board storage groove 201 at the side end of the cutting board storage base 100, and the consumer can directly take and place the cutting board and the cutting board rack in the horizontal direction. The contact between the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 and the cutting board 300 at the side end that is connected to the outside world is a close fit connection or a basically closed connection, which can prevent most ultraviolet light leakage.

[0075] Another preferred design scheme of the present patented product is that the product design adopts a dual ergonomic design. On the one hand, the top and side ends of the chopping board rack 200 are directly opened at the same time to form a chopping board storage slot 201 with a wider storage angle, and there is no separate cover for blocking ultraviolet light. Therefore, the user can directly take out or place the chopping board 300 from the chopping board storage slot in his or her own way at any angle between the vertical and horizontal directions. It is ergonomically designed, easy to use, and the space required for the user to take and place the chopping board is also small; on the other hand, the top and side ends of the cavity of the chopping board storage base 100 are directly opened at the same time, and there is no additional cover for blocking ultraviolet light. The second component, the chopping board rack 200, is a detachable connection by magnetic adsorption. The user can directly take and place it at any angle between the vertical and horizontal directions of the cavity of the chopping board storage base 100 for disassembly and cleaning, which is further ergonomically designed.

[0076] In order to enhance user experience, optimize product structure, and further save product manufacturing costs, this product is not designed as a shell like traditional products. The UV disinfection device, chopping board rack and chopping board are all built into the shell, and then an additional lid is set to seal it to prevent UV light leakage.

[0077] A technical solution in this patent cancels the design of a separate cover to prevent UV light leakage. The connection parts of the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board 300, and the connection parts of the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 of this patent are designed to be "closed connection relationship" to prevent UV ultraviolet light leakage. The "closed connection relationship" in this patent refers to a close fitting connection relationship. The "closed connection relationship or close fitting connection, closed connection or sealed connection" described in this patent is not an absolutely complete vacuum seal or vacuum seal. It mainly refers to the ability to basically prevent most UV ultraviolet light from leaking. The gap between the second component cutting board rack and the first component cutting board storage base at the entrance connection part of the open cavity is 0 to 1 mm, preferably 0 to 0.5 mm; the gap between the entrance of the cutting board storage slot of the second component cutting board rack and the edge connection part of the cutting board is 0 to 1 mm, preferably 0 to 0.5 mm. The gap or clearance between the connection between the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board 300, and the gap between the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage base 100 are controlled to be less than about 0.5 mm, so that the sealing effect is better, and the diffusion of UV ultraviolet light is basically ensured to be within the safe value range. If other structural design schemes of this patent are adopted, and a cover is added at the end, it is also considered to be within the protection scope of this patent.

[0078] The dual ergonomic design described in this patent: on the first level, the unique opening design of the chopping board rack 200 allows the chopping board 300 to be freely placed at any angle between the vertical angle and the horizontal angle of the chopping board rack 200, which is more ergonomically designed, can greatly enhance the user experience, and is suitable for the different usage habits of people of different heights; on the second level, the chopping board rack 200 can be freely placed at any angle between the vertical angle and the horizontal angle of the chopping board rack storage base 100, which is more conducive to disassembly, cleaning, manufacturing, and saving of raw materials.

[0079] The cutting board rack 200 is provided with a light-transmitting hole at a position corresponding to the UV lamp, and the cutting board rack 200 is configured to be detachable from the cutting board storage base. Preferably, the cutting board rack is made into a hollow structure, which is more conducive to light transmission, less prone to deformation, similar to a reinforcing rib structure, and can save materials and reduce product weight.

[0080] The chopping board rack 200 is provided with at least one chopping board storage slot 201. The top of the chopping board rack 200 is provided with a chopping board storage slot 201, and the side of the chopping board rack is also provided with a chopping board storage slot 201. The chopping board storage slots arranged on the top and the side of the chopping board rack are connected. The chopping board 300 can be freely taken out at any angle between the horizontal direction of the side and the vertical direction of the top, for example, it can be taken out in a direction of 45 degrees to the horizontal line, which is more ergonomic, makes it more convenient for consumers to take and put, has a smaller requirement for the use of operating space, and provides a better user experience.

[0081] When the cutting board 300 and the cutting board rack 200 are placed in the designated workstation, the edge of the cutting board and the edge of the cutting board storage slot form a tightly fitting and sealed relationship, which is mainly to prevent the leakage of UV ultraviolet light. Of course, the tight fit or sealing or sealing described in this patent is not absolutely 100% sealed or sealed. There may still be a small gap between the components, but it can play a role in isolating most of the ultraviolet rays and ensure safety in use. Preferably, the cutting board rack is provided with a plurality of cutting board storage slots, which can accommodate multiple cutting boards. Preferably, the cutting board rack and the cutting board storage base are magnetically adsorbed detachable structures.

[0082] The anvil rack 200 includes an anvil rack magnetic adsorption component 202. The anvil rack is connected to the anvil storage base by magnetic adsorption, which is convenient for disassembly and cleaning. The magnetic adsorption structure is that the side end or bottom of the anvil storage base is provided with one or more magnetic adsorption components adsorbed to the corresponding position of the anvil rack, which can automatically adsorb and align when the anvil rack is placed. Since the magnetic adsorption method can also be used between the anvil and the anvil rack, and the magnetic adsorption method can also be used between the knife and the anvil rack, the magnetic adsorption force between the anvil rack and the anvil storage base is greater than the magnetic adsorption force between the anvil and the knife and the anvil rack.

[0083] Preferably, one or more magnetic adsorption components are provided on the base of the cutting board rack and / or cutting board storage device, which can adsorb knives to prevent them from falling off, or can adsorb cutting boards. In this case, the corresponding parts of the cutting board need to be provided with magnetic adsorption components. Preferably, one or more magnetic adsorption components are provided on the base of the cutting board storage device, which can adsorb the cutting board rack on the one hand, and adsorb knives and / or cutting boards on the other hand. In this way, the magnetic adsorption components can be shared, further reducing costs, simplifying the structure, and improving production efficiency.

[0084] Of course, the chopping board rack and the chopping board storage base can also adopt the conventional snap-on connection method or limit block method, or screw connection method, which is not as convenient to use as magnetic adsorption.

[0085] Furthermore, the chopping board rack 200 includes a chopping board rack shock-absorbing component 203. Since the chopping board has a certain weight, when the chopping board is placed in the chopping board rack, under the action of gravity or magnetic adsorption force, the chopping board will usually hit the chopping board rack, which will produce noise on the one hand, and on the other hand, long-term impact will cause product damage. In order to solve these problems, the present patent adopts an ergonomic multi-angle pick-and-place structure design on the one hand. In addition to being convenient for consumers to take and place and save space, consumers can also push and place it from the side when placing it, which is not easy to cause impact; on the other hand, the chopping board rack shock-absorbing component 203 is provided at the bottom and / or side end of the chopping board rack, which plays a buffering and shock-absorbing role, reduces the noise when the chopping board is placed, and increases the service life of the product. The chopping board rack shock-absorbing component 203 can be a relatively soft block or strip-shaped silicone or rubber material.

[0086] Furthermore, the top of the second component chopping board rack 200 is provided with a knife or chopstick storage slot 204; the notch of the knife or chopstick storage slot is provided with a limit block 205, and the limit block 205 is a slider that can be fixed, and the limit block 205 can move along the notch, and can be extended to fit knives of different sizes or different numbers of chopsticks. It is conducive to limiting the position of the knife or chopsticks to prevent the knife or chopsticks from falling; further, the slider is provided with a fixing device, such as a fixing screw, which is more conducive to limiting the position. When the knife is placed, a knife clamping structure can also be provided on the inner side of the knife storage slot to fix the knife.

[0087] The patented product includes a third component, a chopping board 300, which is a double-sided chopping board, including a handle portion 301 of the chopping board. The handle portion 301 is arranged at the diagonal top corners of the two sides of the chopping board. Combined with the ergonomic multi-angle pick-and-place structure design of the patent, consumers can take out the chopping board from any angle from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction of the chopping board storage. On the one hand, this is ergonomic and easy to take and place. On the other hand, most kitchens have limited space, and the patent requires less space for use.

[0088] The front and back sides of the handle 301 of the cutting board are provided with a handle anti-slip component 302, and different marks are marked on the front and back sides, such as words or patterns of vegetables, fish, and fruits, corresponding to different uses of the cutting board, so that consumers can choose a specific cutting board. The textures on both sides of the cutting board are also different, and the functions are classified differently. For example, words or patterns of vegetables, fish, and fruits correspond to different textures.

[0089] The four corners of the chopping board are equipped with anti-slip pads on both sides to facilitate the fixation of the cutting board during use; at the same time, a circle of shallow anti-splash grooves is set near the edge of the chopping board to facilitate the diversion of vegetable washing water on the surface of the chopping board.

[0090] The chopping board can be made of polymer resin materials, such as food-grade ABS, PP and other polymer resin materials of different colors; it can also be made of materials such as logs, bamboo, composite wood, or a composite material of wood and plastic.

[0091] Preferably, the chopping board has a multi-layer composite structure, and the color of the surface material is different from that of the inner layer material. During daily use by consumers, there will be cutting wear. When the surface layer is cut and worn to a certain extent, the different color of the inner layer will be exposed, thus prompting consumers to replace the cutting board with a new one, which is more conducive to improving the consumer user experience, facilitating regular replacement of the chopping board, and being safer.

[0092] There is another technical solution for a cutting board storage device, which includes a stable bracket or support portion in the horizontal direction, and the structures of the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage device base 100 are the same as other embodiments of the present patent, but the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage device base 100 are set at an inclined angle as a whole. For example, the cutting board storage device is placed on the table through the stable bracket or support portion, and the cutting board rack 200 and the cutting board storage device base 100 are tilted 30 degrees to 45 degrees relative to the horizontal plane of the table as a whole, and the notch of the cutting board storage slot also presents an inclined angle. When the cutting board is placed in the cutting board storage slot of the cutting board rack, the cutting board will automatically slide to the designated station along the notch of the inclined cutting board storage slot under the action of its own gravity, which is also more conducive to placing it in the designated station to prevent ultraviolet light leakage. Compared with the vertical notch of the chopping board storage slot, the inclined notch acts as a buffer, making it less likely for the chopping board to directly collide with the bottom of the chopping board rack. Compared with the horizontal notch of the chopping board storage slot, the user does not need to push it to the designated work station. The user only needs to put the chopping board into the notch of the storage slot, and it will automatically slide into place, providing a good user experience.

[0093] A technical solution, the surface of the chopping board rack 200 is hollow or not, and a chopping board storage groove 201 is provided at the top and / or side ends of the chopping board rack 200, and magnetic adsorption components are provided in the chopping board storage groove 201 and on the chopping board 300, and the two are connected by magnetic adsorption, and the chopping board rack 200 and the chopping board 300 can be sold and used separately.

[0094] It should be noted that the structures and parameters described in the above embodiments are only for illustrating the implementation status of the present invention.

[0095] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. All equivalent structural changes made using the contents of the present invention's specification and drawings are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
