[0041] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of this application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of this application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0042] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, these are merely examples and are not intended to limit the present application. In addition, the present application may repeat reference numbers and / or letters in different examples. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplicity and clarity and does not in itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings discussed.

[0043] For ease of description, spatially relative terms may be used herein to describe the relative position or movement of one element or feature relative to another element or feature as shown in the figures, such as "inside," "outside," "below," "above," "front," "back," "left," "right," etc. Such spatially relative terms are intended to include different orientations of the device during use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures undergoes a positional flip or a change in posture or motion state, then these directional indications will also change accordingly. For example, an element described as "below" or "below" another element or feature will then be oriented as "above" or "above" another element or feature. Thus, the example term "below" can include both above and below orientations. The device can be oriented differently (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations) and the spatially relative descriptors used herein should be interpreted accordingly.

[0044] In order to solve the technical problem in the prior art that the tray assembly can only be used on one side, resulting in low utilization and low flexibility of the handle, the present application provides a tray assembly 100 that can be used on both sides, which can improve the utilization of the tray 10 and the flexibility of the handle 20.

[0045] In the description of this application, “plurality” means two or more.

[0046] Reference below Figures 1-10 The tray assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the present application is described. The tray assembly 100 includes a tray 10 and a handle 20 .

[0047] Specifically, the tray 10 includes a plurality of Figure 1 The first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12 are arranged opposite to each other (in the vertical direction shown), and the handle 20 is pivotally connected to the outer peripheral wall 16 of the tray 10. Here, the "outer peripheral wall 16 of the tray 10" refers to multiple outer walls parallel to the thickness direction of the tray 10.

[0048] like Figure 1-Figure 5As shown, the rotation axis of the handle 20 is parallel to the first placement surface 11, and the first placement surface 11 is arranged parallel to the second placement surface 12. The handle 20 has a first position and a second position. When the handle 20 is in the first position, the end of the handle 20 away from the rotation axis is located on one side of the first placement surface 11. When the handle 20 is in the second position, the end of the handle 20 away from the rotation axis is located on one side of the second placement surface 12. Of course, the handle 20 can also have a third position. When the handle 20 is in the third position, the center of the end of the handle 20 away from the rotation axis in the thickness direction is located between the first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12. The user can rotate the handle 20 according to actual needs.

[0049] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, during production, when the first placement surface 11 is needed to place products, the handle 20 can be rotated to adjust the angle of the handle 20 relative to the first placement surface 11 to facilitate taking the tray 10. For example, the handle 20 can be rotated to Figure 1-Figure 3 The locations shown in, but not limited to. Figure 1 In the example of FIG, the handle is located at the third position, the handle 20 is rotated to be parallel to the first placement surface 11 and the center of the end of the handle 20 away from the rotation axis in the thickness direction is located between the first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12. Figure 2 In the example, the handle 20 is located at the second position, for example, the handle 20 is perpendicular to the first placement surface 11 and the end of the handle 20 away from the rotation axis is located on one side of the second placement surface 12 (for example, Figure 1 (shown below). Figure 3 In the example, the handle 20 is located in the first position, for example, the handle 20 is rotated to be perpendicular to the first placement surface 11 and the end of the handle 20 away from the rotation axis is located on the side of the first placement surface 11 (for example, Figure 1 upper side shown).

[0050] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when using the second placement surface 12 to place products, the handle 20 can be rotated to adjust its angle relative to the first placement surface 11, making it easier to pick up and place the tray 10. When using the second placement surface 12 to place products, the rotation of the handle 20 is the same as when using the first placement surface 11, and will not be further explained here. Thus, the handle 20 can be rotated depending on whether the first placement surface 11 or the second placement surface 12 is being used, making it easier to pick up and place the tray 10.

[0051] According to the tray assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by providing the first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12, both placement surfaces can be used to place products, thereby improving the utilization rate of the tray 10. Furthermore, the rotation axis of the handle 20 is parallel to the first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12, allowing the handle 20 to be flipped relative to the first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12. This makes the handle 20 highly flexible and allows it to be rotated to pick up or place the tray 10 as needed.

[0052] For example, refer to Figure 1-Figure 7 , the first placement surface 11 has a first storage compartment 111, and the second placement surface 12 has a second storage compartment 121. The first storage compartment 111 and the second storage compartment 121 can be used to install products to limit the product and improve the installation reliability of the product. In some embodiments, the structure of the second storage compartment 121 is different from that of the first storage compartment 111, so that different products can be placed on the first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12 respectively. Therefore, when using the tray assembly 100, there is no need to frequently replace or process multiple trays 10, which simplifies the product production process and improves production efficiency. Of course, in other examples, the structure of the second storage compartment 121 and the first storage compartment 111 can also be the same, so that the same product can be placed on the first placement surface 11 and the second placement surface 12 to improve the production efficiency of a single product.

[0053] For example, the first storage compartment 111 and the second storage compartment 121 may include at least one of a protrusion structure and a groove structure to position and install the product, thereby improving the stability of the product when placed on the tray 10.

[0054] In some embodiments, the tray assembly 100 further includes a first stopper and a second stopper. The first stopper is provided on the tray 10, and the second stopper is provided on the handle 20. The first stopper and the second stopper can be detachably engaged. When the first stopper and the second stopper engage, the handle 20 is locked. When the first stopper and the second stopper are separated, the handle 20 can rotate. Thus, when the position of the handle 20 relative to the first placement surface 11 needs to be adjusted, the first stopper and the second stopper can be separated to allow the handle 20 to rotate relative to the tray 10. After the adjustment is completed, the first stopper and the second stopper can be engaged to lock the handle 20, thereby preventing the two from continuing to rotate relative to each other and improving stability during use. Of course, in other examples, the first stopper and the second stopper can lock the handle 20 when separated and unlock when engaged to allow the handle 20 to rotate, which is not limited here.

[0055] In some embodiments, as Figure 8 and Figure 9As shown, the first stopper includes a mating groove 30, and the second stopper includes a protrusion 40, which is adapted to be inserted into the mating groove 30. Thus, when the protrusion 40 is engaged with the mating groove 30, the rotation angle of the handle 20 is limited, improving the stability of the handle during use. When the protrusion 40 is separated from the mating groove 30, the handle 20 can rotate relative to the first placement surface 11 to adjust the angle, improving the flexibility of the handle.

[0056] Of course, in other embodiments, the first limiting member and the second limiting member may further include detachably matable buckles and slots (not shown in the figures), which is not limited here.

[0057] Further, if Figure 9 As shown, the mating groove 30 includes a first mating groove 31 and a second mating groove 32. The length direction of the first mating groove 31 is perpendicular to the length direction of the second mating groove 32 and they are connected to form a cross-shaped groove. This arrangement of the mating groove 30 can restrict the protrusion 40 in multiple directions to ensure the reliability of the mating between the mating groove 30 and the protrusion 40. The junction of the first mating groove 31 and the second mating groove 32 can separate the two mating grooves 30 into four mating sub-grooves. The protrusion 40 can selectively fit into the four mating sub-grooves, allowing the handle 20 to have four mating positions. Every 90° rotation of the protrusion 40 switches to a different mating sub-groove that mates with the protrusion 40. The handle 20 can rotate synchronously with the protrusion 40, thereby improving the practicality of the handle 20.

[0058] Furthermore, the length of the first mating groove 31 is parallel to the first placement surface 11. In other words, the length of the second mating groove 32 is perpendicular to the first placement surface 11. This allows the handle 20 to be positioned perpendicular to or parallel to the first placement surface 11, further improving the practicality of the handle 20 and making it easier for the user to hold.

[0059] In some embodiments, the protrusion 40 may be T-shaped, straight-shaped, cross-shaped, or L-shaped. For example, the protrusion 40 may be T-shaped and include a first protrusion 41 and a second protrusion 42. One end of the first protrusion 41 is connected to the middle of the second protrusion 42 to form a T-shape. Such a configuration of the protrusion 40 facilitates positioning and improves stability when mating with the mating groove 30.

[0060] In some embodiments, as Figure 9As shown, the tray 10 has a first axial hole 13 located in the middle of the bottom wall of the mating groove 30. A first rotating shaft 50 is provided on the side of the protrusion 40 facing the mating groove 30. The first rotating shaft 50 engages within the first axial hole 13. When the mating groove 30 is separated from the protrusion 40, the first rotating shaft 50 rotatably engages within the first axial hole 13, allowing the handle 20 to rotate about the central axis of the first rotating shaft 50. When the mating groove 30 is engaged with the protrusion 40, the first rotating shaft 50 stops rotating, thereby improving the stability of the handle 20 during use. For example, a fixing screw 90 passes through the handle 20 from the side away from the protrusion 40 and extends into the protrusion 40 to secure the protrusion, thereby achieving a fixed connection between the protrusion 40 and the handle 20 and improving the stability of the connection between the protrusion 40 and the handle 20.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 10 As shown, the handle 20 includes: a first connecting section 21, a second connecting section 22 and a hand-holding section 23. The second connecting section 22 and the first connecting section 21 are arranged opposite to each other and are respectively connected to the tray 10. The second connecting section 22 is provided with the above-mentioned second limiting member, and the hand-holding section 23 is connected between the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22.

[0062] Thus, by providing the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 spaced apart, the structural reliability and rotational stability of the handle 20 can be improved. At the same time, the user can rotate the handle 20 by holding the hand-held section 23, thereby improving the user experience. Furthermore, the tray assembly 100 can also include a second rotating shaft 60 and an elastic member 70. For example, the elastic member 70 can be a spring. One end of the second rotating shaft 60 is fixed to the first connecting section 21. The tray 10 has a second axial hole (not shown in the figure). The other end of the second rotating shaft 60 extends into the second axial hole. The central axes of the second rotating shaft 60 and the first rotating shaft 50 can be coaxially arranged. For example, the second rotating shaft 60 can be fixed to the first connecting section 21 by a top screw 80. The elastic member 70 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft 60, and the two ends of the elastic member 70 are respectively stopped between the tray 10 and the first connecting section 21.

[0063] It is understood that the first shaft hole 13 can be coaxially arranged with the second shaft hole to facilitate the synchronous rotation of the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22. The first shaft hole 13 and the second shaft hole can be arranged in the axial direction (for example, Figure 1 Alternatively, the first axial hole 13 may be spaced apart from the second axial hole in the axial direction, which is not limited here.

[0064] When the user rotates the handle 20, the protrusion 40 and the mating groove 30 separate, allowing the first and second rotating shafts 50 and 60 to rotate within the first shaft hole 13. At this point, the user pulls the second connecting section 22 away from the first connecting section 21. The elastic member 70 is compressed by the squeezing force between the first connecting section 21 and the tray 10, providing some room for the second connecting section 22 to move, allowing the protrusion 40 to disengage from the mating groove 30 and allowing the user to rotate the handle 20. When the handle 20 is rotated to a predetermined angle, the user stops pulling the second connecting section 22. The spring force allows the protrusion 40 to return to the mating groove 30. Restricted by the protrusion 40 and the mating groove 30, the handle 20 cannot rotate further, providing good stability.

[0065] In some embodiments, reference Figure 6 Combined with Figure 7 The tray 10 is provided with a mounting groove 151 on at least one side in the thickness direction. For example, there are multiple trays 10, and the multiple trays 10 are stacked along the thickness direction. The mounting groove 151 of one of the two adjacent trays 10 is used to install the handle 20 of the other of the two adjacent trays 10. Figure 6 In the example, the mounting groove 151 of the upper tray 10 can be used to install the handle 20 of the lower tray 10. At this time, the handle 20 of the lower tray 10 can serve as a support base for the upper tray 10, and the end of the handle 20 of the upper tray 10 away from the rotation axis can be located above the rotation axis for easy gripping by the user.

[0066] In this way, multiple trays 10 can be installed in combination and placed into the furnace cavity space simultaneously, improving the space utilization of the furnace cavity, and increasing production efficiency and output. At the same time, the handle 20 on each tray 10 is rotatable, and different trays 10 can be selected to place products on different placement surfaces according to actual needs, further improving the practicality of the tray assembly 100. Of course, it is understandable that there can be multiple trays 10, and multiple trays 10 can be stacked on each other to improve space utilization. For example, the grip section 23 of the handle 20 can fit within the mounting groove 151 of an adjacent tray 10. When the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 are rotated to a position perpendicular to the first placement surface 11, the grip section 23 fits within the mounting groove 151 and is arranged in a close fit with the mounting groove 151 to ensure the stability of the handle 20 and the mounting groove 151. At the same time, the stability of multiple trays 10 when stacked can be guaranteed, which is conducive to ensuring production quality.

[0067] Further, if Figure 6-Figure 7 As shown, both sides of the tray 10 in the thickness direction are provided with mounting grooves 151, and the two mounting grooves 151 are open in opposite directions. Figure 1 The top is open as shown, and the other mounting slot 151 faces as shown Figure 1 As shown, the bottom is open. Therefore, regardless of whether the first placement surface 11 or the second placement surface 12 of the tray 10 is facing upward, and the handle 20 is facing upward or downward relative to the first placement surface 11, it can cooperate with the handles 20 on other trays 10 to achieve stacking of the trays 10. When multiple trays 10 are stacked, the first tray can use the first placement surface 11 and the second tray can use the second placement surface 12, further improving the space utilization of the oven cavity.

[0068] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the tray 10 includes a tray body 14 and a connector 15. The connector 15 is connected to the outer peripheral wall of the tray body 14. The handle 20 is pivotally connected to the connector 15, and a mounting slot 151 is provided in the connector 15. The mating slot 30, the first axial hole 13, and the second axial hole can all be provided in the connector 15. The first rotating shaft 50 is rotatably provided in the first axial hole 13, and the second rotating shaft 60 is rotatably provided in the second axial hole. The elastic member 70 abuts between the connector 15 and the first connecting section 21. The provision of the connector 15 facilitates the processing of the mating slot 30, the first axial hole 13, and the second axial hole. The connector 15 can be specifically configured according to the actual size of the handle 20 and the tray 10 to accommodate handles 20 and trays 10 of different sizes, thereby improving the practicality of the tray assembly 100. For example, the thickness of the connecting member 15 is greater than the thickness of the tray body 14. By setting the connecting member 15 and the thickness of the connecting member 15 being greater than the thickness of the tray body 14, it is ensured that the installation groove 151 has a larger depth to increase the matching area with the handles 20 on other trays 10, thereby improving the stability during stacking without affecting the structural reliability of the tray body 14.

[0069] Combine Figure 10 The top screw 80 can extend from the screw hole 211 of the first connecting section 21 and press against the second rotating shaft 60, thereby fixing the second rotating shaft 60 to the side of the first connecting section 21 of the handle 20 facing the connecting member 15. The second connecting section 22 can have a receiving groove 221, into which the protrusion 40 can be inserted, and the fixing screw 90 can be passed through the second connecting section 22 and the protrusion 40 to fix the protrusion 40 to the side of the second connecting section 22 facing the connecting member 15.

[0070] Furthermore, the connecting member 15 is connected to the length direction of the tray body 14 (for example, Figure 1 In the left and right directions shown in FIG), on one side, in the width direction of the tray body 14 (for example, as Figure 1 In the front-to-back direction shown in FIG, the length of the tray body 14 is greater than the length of the connecting member 15. It should be noted that "the length of the tray body 14 is greater than the length of the connecting member 15" means that Figure 1In the front-to-back direction shown, the size of the tray body 14 is larger than the size of the connecting member 15. The handle 20 is connected to at least one side of the connecting member 15 along the width direction of the tray body 14. For example, the first connecting section 21 and the second connecting section 22 of the handle 20 are respectively connected to the length direction of the connecting member 15 (for example, Figure 1 The front and rear directions shown in the figure) can reduce the space occupied by the handle 20 in the width direction of the tray body 14, which is beneficial to the miniaturization design of the tray 10 to further improve the utilization rate of the oven cavity.

[0071] In some embodiments, as Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, there may be multiple handles 20, which are provided at least on two opposite sides of the tray 10. This improves the stability of the tray assembly 100 when the user takes it and the stability of the trays 10 when they are stacked.
