Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of kitchen utensils technology, and particularly relates to a multi-functional compressed kitchen island. Background Technology

[0002] In modern society, more and more families are starting to use island structures. An island is a small countertop in an open kitchen, which can be regarded as part of the cabinetry. It is used according to the user's needs. Island is usually divided into freestanding, extended, and peninsula styles. However, in current housing users, the kitchen area is generally not large. In order to maximize the utilization of the indoor space, the island in the open kitchen is usually required to minimize the space occupied. However, the existing islands have limited functions and cannot improve functionality while minimizing the use space. Moreover, there are many items that need to be stored in the kitchen, which often requires multiple cabinets to access and store them, thus taking up a lot of space in the kitchen. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention provides a multi-functional compressible island for kitchens, which can provide a larger usable area and more storage space in three-dimensional space, thereby improving the utilization rate of kitchen interior space.

[0004] The technical solution adopted in this invention is as follows: a multi-functional compressible island for kitchen, including a protective storage component, a rotating storage component movably installed inside the protective storage component, and a telescopic storage component movably installed inside the rotating storage component. The rotating storage component can rotate out of the protective storage component, and the telescopic storage component can extend out from the rotating storage component. The rotating storage component and the telescopic storage component are made of lightweight material.

[0005] The rotary storage component is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. The rotary storage component has a third slot, and the telescopic storage component is movably engaged within the third slot. One side wall of the rotary storage component has a second slot, and the upper wall of the third slot has a second limiting slot for positioning. The bottom wall of the third slot has two limiting slots for positioning: a first limiting slot and a third limiting slot. A drive frame for power transmission is movably engaged on the first and second limiting slots. A drive rack is connected to the upper wall of one side of the drive frame, and a drive rod is connected to the upper wall of the other side of the drive frame. A driven gear is movably mounted on the drive rod. A fixed rack is installed on the side wall of the third slot, positioned above the driven gear, and the fixed rack and driven gear are meshed together. The lower end of the telescopic storage component is movably engaged within the third limiting slot, and the upper end of the telescopic storage component is movably engaged within the second limiting slot.

[0006] Furthermore, the protective storage component has a slot one, and the rotary storage component is movably disposed in the slot one. A fixed gear is provided on one side wall of the slot one. The fixed gear passes through the slot two and is disposed in the slot three. The fixed gear is located at the lower end of the drive rack and is meshed with the drive rack. A baffle is provided on one side wall of the protective storage component. A storage cavity one is provided in one side wall of the protective storage component. A pull-out component is movably installed in the storage cavity one. One end of the pull-out component is located in the storage cavity one, and the other end of the pull-out component is located outside the storage cavity one. The pull-out component moves in contact with the baffle. A motor base and an air pump are provided on the other side wall of the protective storage component. A motor is installed on the motor base. The motor is a dual-rotation motor. A drive shaft is installed on the side wall of the rotary storage component. The drive shaft is movably disposed on the side wall of the protective storage component. The output shaft end of the motor is connected to the drive shaft.

[0007] The telescopic storage component has a slot four inside, and a driven rack is provided on the side wall of the slot four. The driven rack is located at the lower end of the driven gear, and the driven rack and the driven gear are meshed together.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side wall of the rotary storage component is provided with multiple sets of storage cavities II for storing items, and the storage cavities II are provided with multiple sets of vent holes II for gas circulation. The upper wall of the rotary storage component is provided with a cavity II, which is connected to the limiting groove II and the storage cavity II.

[0009] The telescopic storage component has multiple storage cavities (3) on its side wall for storing items. Each storage cavity (3) has multiple ventilation holes (3) for gas circulation. The upper wall of the telescopic storage component has a cavity (3) that penetrates the upper wall of the telescopic storage component. The cavity (3) is movably engaged in a limiting groove (2). The cavity (3) is connected to the storage cavity (3). When the telescopic storage component retracts into the rotating storage component, the cavity (2) and cavity (3) are connected. At the same time, both the storage cavity (2) and the storage cavity (3) have closed doors on their outer sides to prevent items from falling out.

[0010] Furthermore, the output end of the air pump is connected to a flexible telescopic tube, and the other end of the flexible telescopic tube is connected to the cavity through.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pull-out component is provided with a support plate, and the support plate is provided with multiple sets of slots and clips for locking and fixing. The multiple sets of slots and clips are placed alternately. Kitchen knives can be locked in the slots and placed vertically. At the same time, cutting boards in the kitchen can also be hung on the clips. Utensils that pose a safety threat can be placed on the pull-out component provided in the storage cavity. The protective storage component can store such utensils in a closed manner.

[0012] The rotating storage unit has a support member on its bottom wall, which supports the rotating storage unit when it and the telescopic storage unit are in a compressed state; at the same time, when the rotating storage unit and the telescopic storage unit are in a compressed state, the upper wall of the rotating storage unit can serve as a table to temporarily store items.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention after adopting the above structure are as follows:

[0014] (1) While rotating and lifting, the rotary storage unit can push the telescopic storage unit out from its interior, so that the rotary storage unit and the telescopic storage unit change from a compressed horizontal state to a stretched extended state, providing more storage space for the stored items.

[0015] (2) When the telescopic storage unit retracts into the rotary storage unit, cavity two and cavity three are connected. The air pump works and delivers gas to cavity two through the flexible telescopic tube. Part of the gas in cavity two enters storage cavity two through vent hole two and flows through vent hole two again. Part of the gas enters cavity three and enters storage cavity three through vent hole three and flows through vent hole three again. During the flow of gas, the items in storage cavity two and storage cavity three are dried to reduce the generation of mold.

[0016] (3) Multiple slots and clips are placed in an alternating manner. Kitchen knives can be placed vertically in the slots, and cutting boards in the kitchen can also be hung on the clips. Utensils that pose a safety threat can be placed on the pull-out parts in the storage chamber. The protective storage parts can store such utensils in a closed manner.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus.

[0033] like Figures 1-11 As shown, a multi-functional compressible kitchen island includes a protective storage component 1. A rotating storage component 2 is movably installed within the protective storage component 1, and a telescopic storage component 3 is movably installed within the rotating storage component 2. The rotating storage component 2 can rotatably extend out of the protective storage component 1, and the telescopic storage component 3 can extend out from within the rotating storage component 2. Both the rotating storage component 2 and the telescopic storage component 3 are made of lightweight material. The rotating storage component 2 is a hollow structure with openings at both ends. A slot 4 is provided inside the rotating storage component 2, and the telescopic storage component 3 is movably engaged within the slot 4. A slot 5 is provided on one side wall of the rotating storage component 2, and a limiting slot 2 for limiting movement is provided on the upper wall of the slot 4. 6. The bottom wall of the slot 3 4 is provided with a limiting groove 7 and a limiting groove 8 for limiting. A drive frame 9 for power transmission is movably engaged on the limiting groove 6 and the limiting groove 7. A drive rack 10 is connected to the upper wall of one side of the drive frame 9, and a drive rod 11 is connected to the upper wall of the other side of the drive frame 9. A driven gear 12 is movably mounted on the drive rod 11. A fixed rack 13 is installed on the side wall of the slot 3 4. The fixed rack 13 is located on the upper end of the driven gear 12, and the fixed rack 13 and the driven gear 12 are meshed together. The lower end of the telescopic storage component 3 is movably engaged in the limiting groove 8, and the upper end of the telescopic storage component 3 is movably engaged in the limiting groove 6.

[0034] The protective storage component 1 has a slot 14, and the rotary storage component 2 is movably disposed within the slot 14. A fixed gear 15 is provided on one side wall of the slot 14. The fixed gear 15 passes through a second slot 5 and is disposed within a third slot 4. The fixed gear 15 is located at the lower end of the drive rack 10 and is meshed with the drive rack 10. A baffle plate 16 is provided on one side wall of the protective storage component 1. A storage cavity 17 is provided within one side wall of the protective storage component 1. The storage cavity 17 is movably disposed within the slot 14. A pull-out component 18 is movably installed. One end of the pull-out component 18 is located inside the storage cavity 17, and the other end of the pull-out component 18 is located outside the storage cavity 17. The pull-out component 18 moves in contact with the baffle plate 16. A motor base 19 and an air pump 20 are provided on the other side wall of the protective storage component 1. A motor 21 is installed on the motor base 19. A drive shaft 22 is installed on the side wall of the rotary storage component 2. The drive shaft 22 is movably located on the side wall of the protective storage component 1. The output shaft end of the motor 21 is connected to the drive shaft 22.

[0035] It should be noted that the operation of motor 21 drives drive shaft 22 to rotate, drive shaft 22 drives one end of rotary storage unit 2 to rotate, and the other end of rotary storage unit 2 is raised, driving drive frame 9 inside to rotate. Since fixed gear 15 is fixed on the side wall of protective storage unit 1, when drive frame 9 drives drive rack 10 to rotate, drive rack 10 meshes with fixed gear 15. Under the action of fixed gear 15, drive rack 10 pushes drive frame 9 to move away from fixed gear 15 along limit groove 2 6 and limit groove 1 7. When drive frame 9 moves, it drives drive rod 11 to move away from fixed gear 15. Drive rod 11 drives driven gear 12 to move away from fixed gear 15. Since driven gear 12 meshes with fixed rack 13, and fixed rack 13 is fixed on the side wall of rotary storage unit 2, driven gear 12 moves away from fixed gear 15 while rotating counterclockwise.

[0036] The telescopic storage component 3 has a slot 23 inside, and a driven rack 24 is provided on the side wall of the slot 23. The driven rack 24 is located at the lower end of the driven gear 12, and the driven rack 24 and the driven gear 12 are meshed and connected.

[0037] It should be noted that when the rotary storage unit 2 is rotated and lifted, it drives the telescopic storage unit 3 inside it to rotate and lift. At the same time, when the driven gear 12 moves in a direction away from the fixed gear 15 and rotates counterclockwise, the driven gear 12 drives the driven rack 24 meshing with it to move in a direction away from the fixed gear 15. The driven rack 24 drives the telescopic storage unit 3 to extend out of the rotary storage unit 2.

[0038] The rotating storage unit 2 has multiple storage cavities 25 on its side wall for storing items. Each storage cavity 25 has multiple vent holes 26 for gas circulation. The upper wall of the rotating storage unit 2 has a cavity 27 that is connected to a limiting groove 6 and is also connected to the storage cavity 25. The bottom wall of the rotating storage unit 2 has a support member 35 that supports the rotating storage unit 2 when it and the telescopic storage unit 3 are in a compressed state. At the same time, when the rotating storage unit 2 and the telescopic storage unit 3 are in a compressed state, the upper wall of the rotating storage unit 2 can serve as a table for temporarily storing items.

[0039] The telescopic storage component 3 has multiple storage cavities 28 on its side wall for storing items. Each storage cavity 28 has multiple vent holes 29 for gas circulation. The upper wall of the telescopic storage component 3 has a cavity 30 that penetrates the upper wall of the telescopic storage component 3. The cavity 30 is movably engaged in the limiting groove 6. The cavity 30 is connected to the storage cavity 28. When the telescopic storage component 3 retracts into the rotating storage component 2, the cavity 27 is connected to the cavity 30.

[0040] The output end of the air pump 20 is connected to a flexible telescopic tube 31, and the other end of the flexible telescopic tube 31 is connected to the cavity 27.

[0041] It should be noted that when the telescopic storage component 3 retracts into the rotating storage component 2, and the cavity 27 and cavity 30 are connected, the air pump 20 operates, delivering gas through the flexible telescopic tube 31 into the cavity 27. Part of the gas in the cavity 27 enters the storage cavity 25 through the vent 26 and flows again through the vent 26, while part enters the cavity 30, enters the storage cavity 38 through the vent 39 and flows again through the vent 329. During the gas flow, the items in the storage cavity 25 and storage cavity 38 are dried, reducing the growth of mold.

[0042] The pull-out component 18 is provided with a support plate 32. The support plate 32 is provided with multiple sets of slots 33 and clips 34 for locking and fixing. The multiple sets of slots 33 and clips 34 are placed alternately. Kitchen knives can be locked in the slots 33 and placed vertically. At the same time, the cutting board in the kitchen can also be hung on the clips 34. Utensils that pose a threat to safety can be placed on the pull-out component 18 located in the storage cavity 17. The protective storage component 1 can store such utensils in a closed manner.

[0043] The specific usage is as follows:

[0044] If initially, the rotary storage unit 2 and the telescopic storage unit 3 are in a compressed state, the rotary storage unit 2 needs to be rotated out of the protective storage unit 1, and the telescopic storage unit 3 needs to be pulled out of the rotary storage unit 2. The working process is as follows:

[0045] The motor 21 drives the drive shaft 22 to rotate, which in turn rotates one end of the rotary storage unit 2. The other end of the rotary storage unit 2 is then raised, causing the drive frame 9 inside to rotate. Since the fixed gear 15 is fixed to the side wall of the protective storage unit 1, when the drive frame 9 drives the drive rack 10 to rotate, the drive rack 10 meshes with the fixed gear 15. Under the action of the fixed gear 15, the drive rack 10 pushes the drive frame 9 to move away from the fixed gear 15 along the limiting groove 2 6 and limiting groove 1 7. As the drive frame 9 moves, it drives the drive rod 11 to move away from the fixed gear 15. The drive rod 11 then drives the driven gear 12 to move away from the fixed gear 15. Since the driven gear 12 meshes with the fixed rack 13, the drive frame 9... When the fixed rack 13 is fixed on the side wall of the rotating storage unit 2, the driven gear 12 moves away from the fixed gear 15 while rotating counterclockwise. At the same time, when the rotating storage unit 2 rotates and lifts, it drives the telescopic storage unit 3 inside it to rotate and lift. When the driven gear 12 moves away from the fixed gear 15 while rotating counterclockwise, the driven gear 12 drives the driven rack 24 meshing with it to move away from the fixed gear 15. The driven rack 24 drives the telescopic storage unit 3 to extend out of the rotating storage unit 2 until the rotating storage unit 2 rotates to a vertical state. The telescopic storage unit 3 is placed above the rotated rotating storage unit 2. Then, the items to be stored are placed in the storage cavity 25 and the storage cavity 28 respectively.

[0046] Motor 21 rotates in the reverse direction, driving drive shaft 22 to rotate in the reverse direction. Drive shaft 22 drives one end of the rotary storage unit 2 to rotate, while the other end of the rotary storage unit 2 descends, causing the drive frame 9 inside it to rotate in the reverse direction. Since the fixed gear 15 is fixed to the side wall of the protective storage unit 1, when the drive frame 9 drives the drive rack 10 to rotate, the drive rack 10 meshes with the fixed gear 15. Under the action of the fixed gear 15, the drive rack 10 drives the drive frame 9 to move along the limiting groove 2 6 and limiting groove 1 7 towards the fixed gear 15. When the drive frame 9 moves, it drives the drive rod 11 to move towards the fixed gear 15. The drive rod 11 drives the driven gear 12 to move towards the fixed gear 15. As the driven gear 12 meshes with the fixed rack 13, and the fixed rack 13 is fixed to the side wall of the rotating storage unit 2, the driven gear 12 moves towards the fixed gear 15 while rotating clockwise. At the same time, when the rotating storage unit 2 rotates and descends, it drives the telescopic storage unit 3 inside it to rotate and descend. When the driven gear 12 moves towards the fixed gear 15 while rotating clockwise, the driven gear 12 drives the driven rack 24, which meshes with it, to move towards the fixed gear 15. The driven rack 24 drives the telescopic storage unit 3 to retract into the rotating storage unit 2 until the rotating storage unit 2 returns to a flat state and the telescopic storage unit 3 retracts into the rotating storage unit 2.

[0047] When the telescopic storage unit 3 retracts into the rotary storage unit 2, and the cavity 27 and cavity 30 are connected, the air pump 20 operates, delivering gas through the flexible telescopic tube 31 into the cavity 27. Part of the gas in the cavity 27 enters the storage cavity 25 through the vent 26 and flows again through the vent 26, while part enters the cavity 30, enters the storage cavity 38 through the vent 39 and flows again through the vent 39. During the gas flow, the items in the storage cavity 25 and storage cavity 38 are dried, reducing the growth of mold.

[0048] Kitchen knives can be placed vertically in slot 33, and cutting boards in the kitchen can also be hung on slot 34. Utensils that pose a safety threat can be placed on pull-out piece 18 located in storage cavity 17. Protective storage piece 1 can enclose such utensils.

[0049] At the same time, when the rotating storage component 2 and the telescopic storage component 3 are in a compressed state, the rotating storage component 2 is supported; at the same time, when the rotating storage component 2 and the telescopic storage component 3 are in a compressed state, the upper wall of the rotating storage component 2 can serve as a table to temporarily store items.
