Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of kitchen utensils, and particularly to a foldable draining rack. Background Art

[0002] A draining rack is a common kitchen utensil, mainly used for draining and drying tableware such as bowls, dishes, chopsticks, etc. The structure of the draining rack usually includes a water receiving tray and a draining rack body provided on the water receiving tray. Tableware is placed in the draining rack body, and the water receiving tray is provided with a drainage port for draining the drained water through the drainage port, so that the draining rack can be in a relatively dry environment to avoid bacterial growth.

[0003] For common draining racks on the market, since the draining rack body and the support body are fixedly connected together, and part or all of the structures are integrally welded, the volume of the draining rack body is increased, the space occupied by assembly and transportation is increased, and the transportation cost is increased. Especially for related products exported overseas, the international transportation cost and foreign warehousing cost may even exceed the production cost of the product itself, seriously affecting the market pricing of the product overseas, and further affecting the sales volume and revenue of the product. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above technical problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a foldable draining rack, which is integrally set as a foldable type, convenient for transportation and warehousing, and conducive to market promotion and overseas sales.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: A foldable draining rack includes a water receiving tray, a cylinder body, and a draining rack body. The cylinder body is detachably connected to the water receiving tray; the water receiving tray includes two tray members and a connecting tray. Both of the two tray members are shoveled containers with an open top and an open side. The two tray members are mirror - set on both sides of the connecting tray with their side openings facing each other, and the side openings of the two tray members are respectively movably connected to the connecting tray, so that the two tray members can rotate towards each other relative to the connecting tray;

[0006] When the two tray members form a disk body with four - surrounding edges together with the connecting tray with their side openings facing each other, it is the fully - unfolded state of the water receiving tray; when one of the tray members stands up, and only the other tray member and the connecting tray form a disk body with three - surrounding edges, it is the semi - unfolded state of the water receiving tray; when the two tray members stand up and their upper openings are buckled with each other, the two tray members and the connecting tray jointly form a box body, which is the folded state of the water receiving tray;

[0007] At least one drain rack body is the first drain rack, which includes a plurality of arranged, inverted U-shaped first tongue lines, a self-rotating shaft and a male rotating shaft that respectively connect the two ends of the first tongue line in series. A first placement groove is formed between adjacent first tongues; a plurality of movable connection components are provided on the bottom plate of the disc member. The movable connection components are rotatably connected to the self-rotating shaft and limit-connected to the male rotating shaft, so that the first drain rack body is movably connected to the disc member, and the male rotating shaft can rotate around the self-rotating shaft by releasing the limit connection with the movable connection component to realize the flipping of the first tongue along the groove of the first placement groove.

[0008] When the water receiving tray is fully unfolded, since the drain rack body is erected on the water receiving tray, the first drain rack body can be adjusted to the use state for use, 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 unfolded side of the disc member, it is adjusted to the use state. If the first drain rack body is on the folded side of the disc member, 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 the non-use state and is accommodated in the folded water receiving tray, and the cylinder body is also removed and stuffed 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.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0010] 1. The present invention improves the traditional integral drain rack into a foldable one, which is convenient for transportation and storage, greatly reduces costs, and is conducive to market promotion and overseas sales. Among them, the present invention innovatively sets the half-unfolded state of the water receiving tray, so that the present invention is applicable to more application scenarios and is suitable for a wider range of household users.

[0011] 2. The switching between the use state and the non-use state of the first drain rack body of the present invention can cooperate with the unfolded state, half-unfolded state and folded state of the water receiving tray, so that the folded water receiving tray only needs to accommodate the flipped and lying drain rack body, greatly reducing the thickness of the folded water receiving tray, that is, greatly saving the volume of the drain rack of the present invention in the folded state. When switching to the first use state and the second use state of the present invention, the first drain rack body can be flipped up to form tongues with sufficient height, that is, a placement groove with a sufficient large supporting surface, to stably support the drying of tableware and kitchen utensils. A drain rack product with a small folding volume and a large use space is realized.

[0012] 3. The components of the present invention other than the water receiving tray are all detachably arranged, and the detachable components can be placed in the internal space of the folded water receiving tray, so that the outer contour of the folded present invention has no sharp hard objects, is easy to package and transport, and is impact-resistant.

[0013] 4. The present invention can be switched among the folded state, the first use state and the second use state without the need for additional installation tools and without using auxiliary fine components such as screws and adhesives. It only requires simple assembly, with simple operation and good user experience.

[0014] Further, the union joint assembly includes a positioning member and a limiting member arranged at intervals. The positioning member is provided with a positioning through hole adapted to accommodate the self-rotating shaft. The self-rotating shaft can rotate around its axis within the positioning through hole. An interval space adapted to accommodate the male rotating shaft is formed between the limiting member and the positioning member. The top of the limiting member is provided with a limiting convex, so that the opening size of the interval space is smaller than the internal size. When the male rotating shaft is accommodated in the interval space, the first tongue stands up, and the first drain rack body is in the use state. When the male rotating shaft leaves the interval space by squeezing the limiting convex, the first tongue flips to lie on the disc member, and the first drain rack body is in the non-use state. The present invention realizes the switching between the use state and the non-use state of the first drain rack body through the union joint assembly, with a clever concept.

[0015] Specifically, the drain rack body further includes a second drain rack body. The first drain rack body and the second drain rack body are respectively placed on two disc members. The second drain rack body includes a series of second tongue lines arranged in a row and connecting lines respectively connecting the two ends of the second tongue lines. The second tongue line is in a double inverted U shape with high sides and a low middle. A second placement groove is formed between adjacent second tongues. The first placement groove and the second placement groove are perpendicular to each other. The first drain rack body is suitable for placing large and thick tableware and kitchen utensils such as pots and pans, and the second drain rack body is suitable for placing thinner tableware and kitchen utensils such as plates. The reasonable partition facilitates the user to store tableware and kitchen utensils in categories.

[0016] Specifically, the connecting tray includes a bottom plate of the connecting tray, two ear plates and two clamping plates. The two ear plates are respectively arranged on the front and rear sides of the bottom plate of the connecting tray, so that the connecting tray has an upper opening and left and right openings. The left and right openings are respectively connected to the side openings of the two disc members, and the bottom plates of the two disc members are abutted against the bottom plate of the connecting tray. The two clamping plates correspond to the two ear plates respectively. The clamping plate and the ear plate are arranged at intervals to form a clamping groove. The clamping groove correspondingly accommodates the two side plates of the disc member. The side plate of the disc member is fixedly provided with a vertically protruding rotating shaft. The ear plate and / or the clamping plate is provided with a connecting hole adapted to accommodate the rotating shaft. The rotating shaft can rotate around its axis within the connecting hole, so as to drive the disc member to rotate relative to the connecting tray.

[0017] Further, a locking member is also provided at the bottom of the water receiving tray, which includes a sliding pin and split chutes respectively arranged on the tray member and the connecting tray. The split chute of the tray member and the split chute of the connecting tray are spliced to form a chute for accommodating the sliding pin. When the tray member is unfolded to be in flat butt joint with the connecting tray, the sliding pin slides to the splicing position of the split chute of the tray member and the split chute of the connecting tray, and the sliding pin locks the rotation of the corresponding tray member.

[0018] Further, the water receiving tray further includes a plurality of support feet, and the support feet are respectively detachably connected to the bottom of the water receiving tray. When the present invention is in the folded state, the support feet will become external components. Through the detachable setting, the support feet can be removed and accommodated in the internal space of the folded water receiving tray during the folded state, which is convenient for transportation and storage. Also, the outer contour of the present invention in the folded state has no sharp protrusions, which is convenient for packing and transportation and has impact resistance.

[0019] Furthermore, the support feet include a first support foot detachably connected to the two tray members and a second support foot detachably connected to the connecting tray. A plurality of L-shaped grooves are provided at the bottom of the two tray members, and an L-shaped protrusion is provided at one end of the first support foot. Through the interference fit between the L-shaped protrusion and the L-shaped groove, the first support foot is detachably connected to the bottom of the two tray members; a plurality of jacks are provided at the bottom of the connecting tray, and a plug post is provided at one end of the second support foot. Through the interference fit between the plug post and the jacks, the second support foot is detachably connected to the bottom of the connecting tray.

[0020] Further, a drain port and a plurality of convex ribs extending towards the drain port are provided on the bottom plate of the connecting tray; the bottom plates of the tray member and the connecting tray are inclined towards the drain port; a diversion trough is detachably connected below the drain port. When the present invention is in the folded state, the diversion trough will become an external component. Through the detachable setting, the diversion trough can be removed and accommodated in the internal space of the folded water receiving tray during the folded state, which is convenient for transportation and storage. Also, the outer contour of the present invention in the folded state has no sharp protrusions, which is convenient for packing and transportation and has impact resistance.

[0021] Specifically, a plurality of convex ribs extending towards the side opening of the tray member are provided on the bottom plate of the tray member corresponding to the first water draining rack body. To guide the dripping water to flow out of the side opening of the tray member.

[0022] Specifically, the cylinder body is a container with an opening at the upper part, and the lower end of the cylinder body is blocked by a hollowed-out plate; the cylinder body is detachably connected to the water receiving tray through a hook. When the present invention is in the folded state, the cylinder body can be removed and accommodated in the internal space of the folded water receiving tray, which is convenient for transportation and storage.

Specific implementation manners

[0034] For the convenience of understanding the present invention, the technical solutions and advantages of the invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. For the mechanisms or methods not elaborated in the present invention, reference may be made to the prior art. The specific structure and characteristics of the present invention will be described below by way of example, and should not be construed as any limitation to the present invention. At the same time, for any one of the technical features mentioned below (including implied or disclosed), and any one of the technical features directly shown or implied in the drawings, any combination or deletion can be continued among these technical features, so as to form 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 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 thorough and comprehensive.

[0035] As Figures 1-9 shown, the foldable water draining rack of this embodiment includes a water receiving tray, a first water draining rack body 20, a second water draining rack body 30, and a cylinder body 40. The first water draining rack body 20 and the second water draining 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 members 11, a connecting tray 13, a diversion groove 16, a plurality of support feet, and a locking member.

[0037] The overall structures of the two tray members 11 are the same. Each tray member 11 includes a bottom plate 112 of the tray member, two side plates 113, and a back plate 114. The two side plates 113 and a back plate 114 surround three sides of the bottom plate 112 of the tray member to form a shovel-shaped container with an upper opening and one side opening. The bottom plate 112 of each tray member slopes gently downward at a certain angle towards the side opening, facilitating the accumulated water collected on the tray member 11 to flow towards the side opening. In this embodiment, preferably, a plurality of convex ribs 1120 extending towards the side opening are respectively provided on the bottom plate 112 of one of the tray 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 opening at the upper side and openings at the left and right sides. The openings at the left and right sides of the connecting tray 13 are connected to the side openings of the two tray members 11. Specifically, the two tray members 11 are mirror - arranged with their side openings facing each other on the left and right sides of the connecting tray 13, and the bottom plates 112 of the two tray members abut against the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray. The two clamping plates 135 correspond to the two ear plates 133 one by one. The clamping plates 135 and the ear plates 133 are arranged at intervals, and a clamping groove 136 is formed between the clamping plates 135 and the ear plates 133. One side side plate 113 of the tray member 11 is inserted into the clamping groove 136. Vertical protruding rotating shafts 1134 are respectively fixedly arranged on the two side side plates 113 of the tray member 11. The ear plates 133 and the clamping plates 135 are respectively provided with connecting holes 138 adapted to accommodate the rotating shafts 1134. The rotating shafts 1134 can rotate self - rotatably in the connecting holes 138, so that the two tray members 11 are respectively rotatably connected to the connecting tray 13, thereby driving the tray members 11 to rotate towards each other relative to the connecting tray 13.

[0039] Preferably in this embodiment, at the side opening of the tray member 11, the two side side plates 113 of the tray member 11 protrude more than the bottom plate 112 of the tray member, so as to prevent the bottom plate 112 of the tray member from interfering with the rotation of the tray member 11. In addition, the part of the side plate 113 of the tray member 11 in contact with the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray is processed with a reverse arc angle to prevent the side plate 113 of the tray member 11 from interfering with the rotation of the tray member 11.

[0040] Preferably in this embodiment, the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray is provided with a drain port 137 and a plurality of convex ribs extending towards the drain port. The bottom plates 112 of the two tray members and the bottom plate 131 of the connecting tray are inclined towards the drain port 137. A diversion trough 16 is detachably connected below the drain port 137. Preferably in this embodiment, the diversion trough 16 is snap - connected below the drain port 137. The two tray members 11 collect the dripping water. The accumulated water flows along the inclined bottom plates 112 of the tray members to the side openings of the tray members 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 diversion trough 16 and led out through the diversion trough 16, keeping the water - receiving tray relatively dry and preventing the growth of bacteria.

[0041] Preferably in this embodiment, the diversion trough 16 is a telescopic structure, and the length of the diversion trough 16 can be adjusted corresponding to the length and width of the water - receiving tray, so that the diversion trough 16 can extend in four directions of the water - receiving tray, and is flexibly applicable to the kitchen environments of different families.

[0042] The first water draining rack body 20 is formed by winding metal wires. Each first water draining rack body 20 includes a plurality of arranged first tongue wires in an inverted U shape, and a self-rotating shaft 21 and a male rotating shaft 23 that respectively connect the two ends of the first tongue wires. The self-rotating shaft 21 and the male rotating shaft 23 are both located at the bottom and arranged side by side. Each first tongue wire in an inverted U shape forms a first tongue 25, and the two ends of each first tongue 25 are respectively connected to the self-rotating shaft 21 and the male rotating shaft 23. The first tongues 25 are arranged at intervals, and a first placing groove 27 is formed between two adjacent first tongues 25. The first placing groove 27 is used for placing tableware and kitchen utensils to be drained of water.

[0043] The bottom of the disk member 11 provided with convex ribs is further provided with a plurality of movable connection components that movably connect to the first water draining rack body 20. Each movable connection component includes a positioning member 117 and a limiting member 118 arranged at intervals. The positioning member 117 is block-shaped, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 112 of the disk member. A positioning through hole 1170 adapted to accommodate the self-rotating shaft 21 is provided on the positioning member 117, and the self-rotating shaft 21 can rotate around its axis in the positioning through hole 1170. The limiting member 118 is block-shaped or strip-shaped, and its lower end is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 112 of the disk member. A limiting protrusion 1180 is provided on one side of the top end of the limiting member 118 facing the positioning member 117, so that the opening size of the spaced space is smaller than the internal size. A spaced space 1182 formed between the limiting member 118 and the positioning member 117 is adapted to accommodate the male rotating shaft 23. A reinforcing rib 1184 is provided on the side of the limiting member 118 facing away from the positioning member 117 to reinforce the strength of the repeatedly bent limiting member 118.

[0044] When the male rotating shaft 23 is accommodated in the spaced space 1182, the first tongue 25 stands up, and the first water draining rack body 20 is in a use state; when the male rotating shaft 23 leaves the spaced space 1182 by squeezing the limiting protrusion 1180, and the self-rotating shaft 21 rotates in the positioning through hole 1170, the male rotating shaft 23 rotates around the axis of the self-rotating shaft 21, and the first tongue 25 flips along the groove of the first placing groove 27 to lie on the disk member 11, and the first water draining rack body 20 is in a non-use state. The first water draining rack body 20 realizes the switching between the use state and the non-use state through the change of the connection relationship with the movable connection component, and coordinates with the unfolded state, semi-unfolded state and folded state of the water receiving tray, so that the foldable water draining rack in this embodiment has a smaller volume in the folded state, and saves more transportation and storage costs.

[0045] The second water drainage rack body 30 includes a second tongue line and connecting lines respectively connecting the two ends of the second tongue line. 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. A second placement groove 37 is formed between two adjacent second tongues 35. The first placement groove 27 and the second placement groove 37 are perpendicular to each other. The first water drainage rack body is suitable for placing large and thick tableware and kitchen utensils such as pots and pans, and the second water drainage rack body is suitable for placing thin tableware and kitchen utensils such as plates. The first water drainage rack body 20 and the second water drainage rack body 30 are respectively placed on two tray members 11, with reasonable zoning, facilitating the user to store tableware and kitchen utensils in categories.

[0046] A plurality of support feet are detachably connected to the bottom of the water receiving tray. In this embodiment, preferably, the support feet include a first support foot 171 detachably connected to the bottoms of the two tray members 11 and a second support foot 172 detachably connected to the connecting tray 13. A plurality of L-shaped grooves 1122 are provided at the bottoms of the two tray members 11. One end of the first support foot 171 is provided with an L-shaped protrusion. Through the interference fit between the L-shaped protrusion and the L-shaped groove 1122, the first support foot 171 is detachably connected to the bottoms of the two tray members 11. A plurality of jacks 1310 are provided at the bottom of the connecting tray 13. One end of the second support foot 172 is provided with a plug post. Through the interference fit between the plug post and the jacks 1310, the second support foot 172 is detachably connected to the bottom of the connecting tray 13 to reinforce the support strength.

[0047] The locking member is arranged at the bottom of the water receiving tray and includes a sliding pin 183 and split chutes respectively arranged on the tray member 11 and the connecting tray 13. The split chute of the tray member 11 and the split chute of the connecting tray 13 are spliced to form a chute 185 for accommodating the sliding pin 183. When the tray member 11 is unfolded to be in a straight butt joint with the connecting tray 13, the sliding pin 183 slides to the splicing position of the split chute of the tray member 11 and the split chute of the connecting tray 13, and the sliding pin 183 locks the rotation of the corresponding tray member 11. When the sliding pin 183 is moved away from the splicing position of the split chute of the tray member 11 and the split chute of the connecting tray 13, that is, when the sliding pin 183 completely slides into the split chute of the tray member 11 or completely slides into the split chute of the connecting tray 13, the sliding pin 183 releases the locking of 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, avoiding the accidental folding of the unfolded tray member 11.

[0048] The cylinder body 40 is a container with an upper opening and a certain height. The lower end of the cylinder body 40 is blocked by a hollowed-out plate. While allowing water to pass through, the hollowed-out plate can support the objects stored in the cylinder body 40. The cylinder body 40 is used to store slender objects such as chopsticks, spoons, and forks. The cylinder body 40 is detachably connected to the water receiving tray through a connecting member. Preferably, in this embodiment, the connecting member is a hook 47. The hook 47 is fixedly connected to the cylinder body 40 and 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 connecting tray 13.

[0049] The foldable draining rack in this embodiment forms three states according to the folding degree of the water receiving tray, namely, the folded state, the first use state, and the second use state.

[0050] The draining 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 members 11 rotate and stand up relative to the connecting tray 13, and the upper openings of the two tray members 11 are buckled with each other. The two tray members 11 and the connecting tray 13 together form a box body. The locking member is in a non-locked state. The first draining rack body 20 lies on the bottom plate 112 of the tray member, and the first draining rack body 20 and the second draining rack body 30 do not affect each other. The detachable flow guide groove 16, multiple support feet, and the cylinder body 40 can be inserted into the internal space of the folded water receiving tray, so that the overall volume of the folded draining rack is small enough. The volume of the folded draining rack is much smaller than that of the unfolded draining rack, and the outer contour after folding is box-shaped, without sharp and hard objects, easy to pack and transport, and shock-resistant.

[0051] In the first usage state of this embodiment, the water receiving tray is in a fully unfolded state, and the first drainage rack body 20 and the second drainage rack body 30 on the two tray members 11 are both in a usage state. When the water receiving tray of this embodiment is switched from the folded state to the fully unfolded state, the mutual buckling of the two tray members 11 is released, and the two tray members 11 are turned over and unfolded to rotate around the axis of the rotating shaft 1134, so that the upper openings of the two tray members 11 are away from each other, and the two tray members 11 and the connecting tray 13 together form a tray body with a surrounding edge. Then, the sliding pin 183 is used to lock the two tray members 11, so that the water receiving tray is fixed and unfolded. To switch the first drainage rack body 20 of this embodiment from the non-usage state to the usage state, only the lying first drainage rack body 20 needs to be erected. The specific operation is to turn over the first drainage rack body 20 and break and erect the first tongue 25. The male rotating shaft 23 at the bottom of the first drainage rack body 20 presses the limiting convex 1180 of the limiting member 118 into the spaced space 1182 between the limiting member 118 and the positioning member 117. The male rotating shaft 23 of the drainage rack body is fixed, and the first tongue 25 stands up stably. Thereafter, the scattered flow guide grooves 16, multiple support feet, and the cylinder body 40 are respectively installed in the corresponding positions - the flow guide grooves 16 are snapped below the drain outlet 137, the multiple support feet are in interference fit with the bottom of the water receiving tray, and the cylinder body 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 drainage rack of this embodiment can be switched from the folded state to the first usage state without additional installation tools, without using auxiliary fine parts such as screws and adhesives, and only requires simple assembly. The operation is simple and the user experience is good.

[0052] In the second usage state of this embodiment, the water receiving tray is in a semi-unfolded state. The semi-unfolded state can be obtained by turning over and unfolding one side tray member 11 of the water receiving tray in the folded state, or by turning over and folding up one side tray member 11 of the water receiving tray in the fully unfolded state. Taking the water receiving tray in the fully unfolded state as an example, the locking state of the locking member corresponding to one tray member 11 is released, and this tray member 11 is erected upward relative to the connecting tray 13 by rotation, and only the other tray member 11 and the connecting tray 13 form a tray body with three surrounding edges, which is the semi-unfolded state of the water receiving tray. If the first drainage rack body 20 corresponds to the erected tray member 11, it is adjusted to the non-usage state, that is, the switching of the second usage state of this embodiment is completed. The second usage state is suitable for a usage environment with relatively compact kitchen space. The foldable drainage rack of this embodiment is more flexible and suitable for different families to use.

[0053] Compared with the prior art, the foldable draining rack of this embodiment improves the traditional integral draining rack into a foldable one, 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 or hard objects, easy to pack and transport, and shock-resistant.
