[0001] The invention relates to the field of kitchenware, and in particular to a foldable drain rack. Background Art
[0002] The drain rack is a common kitchen appliance, mainly used to drain and dry tableware such as bowls, plates, chopsticks, etc. The structure of the drain rack usually includes a water receiving tray and a drain rack body arranged on the water receiving tray. The tableware is placed in the drain rack body. The water receiving tray is provided with a drain port, which is used to drain the drained water through the drain port, so that the drain rack can be in a relatively dry environment to avoid bacterial growth.
[0003] The drain racks commonly seen on the market have a main body and a supporting body that are fixedly connected together, and part or all of the structure is welded in one piece, which increases the volume of the main body of the drain rack, increases the space occupied by assembly and transportation, and increases transportation costs. Especially for related products exported overseas, their international transportation costs and foreign warehousing costs may even exceed the production cost of the product itself, seriously affecting the overseas market pricing of the product, and further affecting the sales and revenue of the product. Summary of the invention
[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a foldable drain rack, which is overall configured to be foldable, convenient for transportation and warehousing, and conducive to market promotion and overseas sales.
[0005] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: a foldable drain rack, comprising a water receiving tray, a cylinder and a drain rack body, wherein the cylinder is detachably connected to the water receiving tray; the water receiving tray comprises two tray components and a connecting tray, wherein the two tray components are shovel-shaped containers with openings on the top and one side, and the two tray components are mirror-imaged on both sides of the connecting tray with their side openings, and the side openings of the two tray components are respectively movably connected to the connecting tray, so that the two tray components can rotate toward each other relative to the connecting tray;
[0006] When the two pan members are combined with the connecting tray with their side openings facing each other to form a pan body with four sides, the water receiving pan is in a fully unfolded state; when one pan member is erected upward, only the other pan member is combined with the connecting tray to form a pan body with three sides, the water receiving pan is in a semi-expanded state; when the two pan members are erected upward, and the upper openings of the two pan members are interlocked, the two pan members and the connecting tray form a box body, which is a folded state of the water receiving pan;
[0007] At least one drain rack body is a first drain rack, which includes a plurality of first latch tongue lines arranged in an inverted U shape and a rotation axis and a revolution axis respectively connected in series at the two ends of the first latch tongue lines, and a first placement groove is formed between two adjacent first latch tongues; a plurality of movable joint components are provided on the bottom plate of the disk component, and the movable joint components are rotatably connected to the rotation axis and limitedly connected to the revolution axis, so that the first drain rack body is movably connected to the disk component, and the revolution axis can rotate around the rotation axis by releasing the limited connection with the movable joint component to realize the flipping of the first latch tongue along the groove of the first placement groove.
[0008] When the water receiving tray is fully unfolded, since the drain rack body is mounted on the water receiving tray, the first drain rack body can be adjusted to the use state and can be used, which is the first use state of the drain rack of the present invention. When the water receiving tray is half unfolded, if the first drain rack body is on the tray member on the unfolded side, it is adjusted to the use state, and if the first drain rack body is on the tray member on the folded side, it is adjusted to the non-use state, and the drain rack of the present invention can be used, which is the second use state of the drain rack of the present invention. When the water receiving tray is folded into a box body, the first drain rack body also lies in a non-use state and is accommodated in the folded water receiving tray, and the cylinder is also removed and inserted into the folded water receiving tray, and then it can be packaged and transported, which is the folded state of the drain rack of the present invention.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0034] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the technical solutions and advantages of the invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The mechanisms or methods not described in the present invention can refer to the prior art. The specific structure and features of the present invention are described below in an exemplary manner, which should not constitute any limitation to the present invention. At the same time, any of the technical features mentioned below (including implicit or disclosed), as well as any technical features directly displayed or implied in the figure, can continue to be arbitrarily combined or deleted between these technical features, thereby forming more other embodiments that may not be directly or indirectly mentioned in the present invention. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thoroughly and comprehensively understood.
[0035] like Figure 1-9 As shown, the foldable drain rack of this embodiment includes a water receiving tray, a first drain rack body 20, a second drain rack body 30 and a cylinder body 40. The first drain rack body 20 and the second drain rack body 30 are mounted on the water receiving tray, and the cylinder body 40 is detachably connected to the water receiving tray.
[0036] Specifically, the water receiving tray includes two tray components 11, a connecting tray 13, a guide groove 16, a plurality of supporting legs and a locking member.
[0037] The overall structure of the two disk members 11 is the same. Each disk member 11 includes a bottom plate 112 of the disk member, two side plates 113 and a back plate 114. The two side plates 113 and the back plate 114 are arranged around the bottom plate 112 of the disk member to form a shovel-shaped container with an upper opening and one side opening. The bottom plate 112 of each disk member is slowly inclined downward at a certain angle toward the side opening, which is conducive to the accumulated water collected on the disk member 11 to flow toward the side opening. In this embodiment, a plurality of convex ridges 1120 extending toward the side opening are respectively provided on the bottom plate 112 of one of the disk members to guide the accumulated water to flow out of the side opening.
[0038] The connecting tray 13 includes a bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray, two ear plates 133 and two clamping plates 135. The two ear plates 133 are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray, so that the connecting tray 13 has an upper opening and left and right openings. The left and right openings of the connecting tray 13 are connected with the side openings of the two tray members 11. Specifically, the two tray members 11 are arranged on the left and right sides of the connecting tray 13 with their side openings mirrored relative to each other, and the bottom plates 112 of the two tray members are against the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray. The two card plates 135 correspond to the two ear plates 133 respectively, and the card plates 135 and the ear plates 133 are arranged at an interval. A card slot 136 is formed between the card plate 135 and the ear plates 133. One side plate 113 of the disk member 11 is inserted into the card slot 136. The two side plates 113 of the disk member 11 are respectively fixed with vertically protruding rotating shafts 1134. The ear plates 133 and the card plates 135 are respectively provided with connecting holes 138 adapted to accommodate the rotating shafts 1134. The rotating shafts 1134 can rotate in the connecting holes 138, so that the two disk members 11 are respectively rotatably connected to the connecting trays 13, thereby driving the disk members 11 to rotate relative to the connecting trays 13.
[0039] In this embodiment, preferably, at the side opening of the tray member 11, the side plates 113 of the tray member 11 protrude more than the bottom plate 112 of the tray member to prevent the bottom plate 112 of the tray member from interfering with the rotation of the tray member 11. In addition, the portion of the side plates 113 of the tray member 11 that contacts the bottom plate 131 of the docking tray is chamfered to prevent the side plates 113 of the tray member 11 from interfering with the rotation of the tray member 11.
[0040] In this embodiment, preferably, the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray is provided with a drain port 137 and a plurality of ridges extending toward the drain port, and the bottom plates 112 of the two tray members and the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray are inclined toward the drain port 137. A guide groove 16 is detachably connected below the drain port 137. In this embodiment, preferably, the guide groove 16 is snapped onto the bottom of the drain port 137. The two tray members 11 collect dripping water, and the accumulated water flows along the inclined bottom plate 112 of the tray member to the side opening of the tray member 11, and converges at the drain port 137 of the connecting tray 13. The water accumulated at the drain port 137 is discharged into the guide groove 16, and is led out through the guide groove 16, so as to keep the water receiving tray relatively dry and avoid the breeding of bacteria.
[0041] Preferably, in this embodiment, the guide groove 16 is a telescopic structure, and the length of the guide groove 16 can be adjusted according to the length and width of the water receiving tray, so that the guide groove 16 can extend in four directions of the water receiving tray, which is flexibly applicable to the kitchen environments of different families.
[0042] The first drain rack body 20 is formed by winding a metal wire, and each first drain rack body 20 includes a plurality of first tongue lines arranged in an inverted U shape and a rotation axis 21 and a revolution axis 23 respectively connected in series at the two ends of the first tongue lines. The rotation axis 21 and the revolution axis 23 are both located at the bottom and arranged in parallel. Each inverted U-shaped first tongue line forms a first tongue 25, and the two ends of each first tongue 25 are respectively connected to the rotation axis 21 and the revolution axis 23. The first tongues 25 are arranged at intervals, and a first placement groove 27 is formed between two adjacent first tongues 25, and the first placement groove 27 is used to place tableware and kitchenware to be drained.
[0043] The bottom of the plate member 11 with convex ridges is also provided with a plurality of articulated assemblies movably connected to the first drain rack body 20, and each articulated assembly includes a spaced positioning member 117 and a stopper 118. The positioning member 117 is block-shaped, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 112 of the plate member. The positioning member 117 is provided with a positioning through hole 1170 adapted to accommodate the rotation shaft 21, and the rotation shaft 21 can rotate around its axis in the positioning through hole 1170. The stopper 118 is block-shaped or strip-shaped, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 112 of the plate member. The top end of the stopper 118 is provided with a stopper convex 1180 on the side facing the positioner 117, so that the opening size of the space is smaller than the internal size. The space 1182 formed between the stopper 118 and the positioning member 117 is adapted to accommodate the revolution shaft 23. A reinforcing rib 1184 is provided on one side of the limiting member 118 facing away from the positioning member 117 to reinforce the strength of the limiting member 118 that is repeatedly bent.
[0044] When the revolution axis 23 is accommodated in the spacing space 1182, the first latch 25 stands up, and the first drain rack body 20 is in the use state; when the revolution axis 23 leaves the spacing space 1182 by squeezing the limiting protrusion 1180, and the rotation axis 21 rotates in the positioning through hole 1170, the revolution axis 23 rotates around the axis of the rotation axis 21, and the first latch 25 turns along the groove of the first placement groove 27 to lie on the plate member 11, and the first drain rack body 20 is in the non-use state. The first drain rack body 20 realizes the switching between the use state and the non-use state by changing the connection relationship with the movable joint assembly, and cooperates with the unfolded state, semi-expanded state and folded state of the water receiving tray, so that the foldable drain rack of this embodiment is smaller in size in the folded state, and saves more transportation and storage costs.
[0045] The second drain rack body 30 includes a second tongue line and a connecting line that connects the two ends of the second tongue line in series, the second tongue line is a double inverted U-shape with high sides and low middle, each second tongue line forms a second tongue 35, and a second placement groove 37 is formed between two adjacent second tongues 35, and the first placement groove 27 and the second placement groove 37 are perpendicular to each other. The first drain rack body is suitable for placing large and thick tableware and kitchenware such as pots and pans, and the second drain rack body is suitable for placing thinner tableware and kitchenware such as plates. The first drain rack body 20 and the second drain rack body 30 are respectively placed on two plate components 11, and the reasonable partition is convenient for users to classify and store tableware and kitchenware.
[0046] A plurality of support legs are detachably connected to the bottom of the water receiving tray. Preferably, in this embodiment, the support legs include a first support leg 171 detachably connected to the bottom of the two tray members 11 and a second support leg 172 detachably connected to the connecting tray 13. A plurality of L-shaped grooves 1122 are provided at the bottom of the two tray members 11, and an L-shaped protrusion is provided at one end of the first support leg 171. The L-shaped protrusion is interference-fitted with the L-shaped groove 1122, so that the first support leg 171 is detachably connected to the bottom of the two tray members 11. A plurality of insertion holes 1310 are provided at the bottom of the connecting tray 13, and a plug column is provided at one end of the second support leg 172. The plug column is interference-fitted with the insertion hole 1310, so that the second support leg 172 is detachably connected to the bottom of the connecting tray 13, thereby enhancing the supporting strength.
[0047] The lock is arranged at the bottom of the water receiving tray, and includes a sliding pin 183 and a sub-slide groove respectively arranged on the tray member 11 and the connecting tray 13. The sub-slide groove of the tray member 11 and the sub-slide groove of the connecting tray 13 are spliced to form a slide groove 185 for accommodating the sliding pin 183. When the tray member 11 is unfolded to be flatly connected with the connecting tray 13, the sliding pin 183 slides to the splicing of the sub-slide groove of the tray member 11 and the sub-slide groove of the connecting tray 13, and the sliding pin 183 locks the rotation of the corresponding tray member 11; when the sliding pin 183 moves away from the splicing of the sub-slide groove of the tray member 11 and the sub-slide groove of the connecting tray 13, that is, the sliding pin 183 completely slides into the sub-slide groove of the tray member 11 or completely slides into the sub-slide groove of the connecting tray 13, the sliding pin 183 releases the lock on the tray member 11, and the tray member 11 can rotate relative to the connecting tray 13. With such a design, the entire water receiving tray can be lifted and moved, and the unfolded tray member 11 can be prevented from being accidentally folded.
[0048] The cylinder 40 is a container with a certain height and an upper opening. The lower end of the cylinder 40 is blocked by a hollow plate. The hollow plate allows water to pass through and can support objects stored in the cylinder 40. The cylinder 40 is used to store slender objects such as chopsticks, spoons, forks, etc. The cylinder 40 is detachably connected to the water receiving tray through a connecting piece. In this embodiment, the connecting piece is preferably a hook 47, which is fixedly connected to the cylinder 40, and the hook 47 is hung on the side wall of the water receiving tray, such as the side plate 113 and the back plate 114 of the tray member 11 and the ear plate 133 of the tray 13.
[0049] The foldable drain rack of this embodiment forms three states according to the folding degree of the water receiving tray, namely a folded state, a first use state and a second use state.
[0050] The drain rack is suitable for transportation scenarios, storage scenarios and storage scenarios in the folded state. In the folded state, the water receiving tray is folded, and the two tray components 11 stand up relative to the connecting tray 13 by rotating, and the upper openings of the two tray components 11 are interlocked with each other, and the two tray components 11 and the connecting tray 13 together form a box body. The lock is in a non-locked state. The first drain rack body 20 lies on the bottom plate 112 of the tray component, and the first drain rack body 20 and the second drain rack body 30 do not affect each other. The detachable guide groove 16, multiple supporting feet and the cylinder 40 can be inserted into the internal space of the folded water receiving tray, so that the overall volume of the folded drain rack is small enough. The volume of the folded drain rack is much smaller than that of the unfolded drain rack, and the outer contour after folding is box-type, without sharp hard objects, easy to pack and transport, and impact-resistant.
[0051] In the first use state of the present embodiment, the water receiving tray is in a fully unfolded state, and the first drain rack body 20 and the second drain rack body 30 on the two tray members 11 are both in use. The water receiving tray of the present embodiment switches from the folded state to the fully unfolded state by releasing the mutual engagement of the two tray members 11, flipping and unfolding the two tray members 11, and rotating them around the axis of the rotating shaft 1134, so that the upper openings of the two tray members 11 are separated from each other, and the two tray members 11 and the connecting tray 13 are combined to form a tray body with surrounding edges, and then the sliding pin 183 is locked to the two tray members 11, so that the water receiving tray is fixed and unfolded. The first drain rack body 20 of this embodiment is switched from the non-use state to the use state by simply standing up the lying first drain rack body 20. The specific operation is to flip the first drain rack body 20, bend and stand up the first latch 25, and the revolution axis 23 at the bottom of the first drain rack body 20 squeezes the limit protrusion 1180 of the limit member 118 into the interval 1182 between the limit member 118 and the positioning member 117. The revolution axis 23 of the drain rack body is fixed, and the first latch 25 stands up stably. After that, the scattered guide grooves 16, multiple support legs and cylinder 40 are respectively installed to the corresponding parts - the guide grooves 16 are clamped under the drain port 137, and the multiple support legs are interference fit at the bottom of the water receiving tray. The cylinder 40 is hung on the side wall of the water receiving tray. After the assembly is completed, it can be put into use. The foldable drain rack of the present embodiment switches from a folded state to a first use state without the need for additional installation tools and without the use of screws, glue and other auxiliary small parts. It only requires simple assembly, is easy to operate, and provides a good user experience.
[0052] In the second use state of the present embodiment, the water receiving tray is in a semi-expanded state, which can be obtained by turning over the water receiving tray in the folded state to unfold one side of the tray member 11, or by turning over the water receiving tray in the fully expanded state to retract one side of the tray member 11. Taking the water receiving tray in the fully expanded state as an example, the locking state of the lock corresponding to one tray member 11 is released, and the tray member 11 stands up relative to the connecting tray 13 by rotating, and only the other tray member 11 is combined with the connecting tray 13 to form a tray body with three sides surrounded, which is the semi-expanded state of the water receiving tray. If the first drain rack body 20 corresponds to the upright tray member 11, it is adjusted to a non-use state, that is, the switching of the second use state of the present embodiment is completed. The second use state is suitable for the use environment in which the kitchen space is relatively compact. The foldable drain rack of the present embodiment is more flexible and changeable, and is suitable for use by different families.
[0053] Compared with the prior art, the foldable drain rack of this embodiment improves the traditional integrated drain rack into a foldable type, which is convenient for transportation and storage, greatly reduces costs, and is conducive to market promotion and overseas sales. The outer contour after folding is box-shaped, without sharp thorns and hard objects, easy to pack and transport, and impact-resistant. In addition, the switch between the folded state and the use state is simple, without the need for additional installation tools, screws, adhesives and other auxiliary fine parts, and only requires simple assembly, which provides a good user experience.
[0054] In addition, the present embodiment innovatively sets the water tray to a semi-expanded state, making the present embodiment applicable to more application scenarios and suitable for a wider range of home users.
[0055] Furthermore, the first drain rack body has a use state and a non-use state, further reducing the volume of the embodiment in the folded state. Moreover, the first drain rack body lies along the direction in which the groove of the first placement slot extends to form the non-use state, that is, the drain rack body in the non-use state is effectively folded and does not occupy extra space.
