If there is a description of "first" or "second", it is only used for the purpose of distinguishing the technical features, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying the relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 4The utility model provides a folding drain rack, comprising: an installation body 100, wherein the installation body 100 is provided with a mounting surface and a horizontally arranged axial hole 110, and the installation body 100 is provided with a positioning slot 120 located on one side of the axial hole 110 and connected to the axial hole 110; an overhanging frame 200, wherein the overhanging frame 200 is provided with a rotating shaft 210 movably passed through the axial hole 110, and the overhanging frame 200 can be rotated to a first state parallel to the installation surface and a second state approximately perpendicular to the installation surface, and the end of the rotating shaft 210 is provided with a bending column 220 that can be elastically deformed, and the bending column 220 can rotate with the rotating shaft 210 to enter or leave the positioning slot 120; when the bending column 220 enters the positioning slot 120, the overhanging frame 200 is in the second state; when the bending column 220 leaves the positioning slot 120, the overhanging frame 200 is in the first state.

[0032] When the above folding drain rack is installed on the desktop on one side of the sink, if the cantilever rack 200 needs to be stored, the cantilever rack 200 is driven to rotate to the second state relative to the installation body 100. In the process that the bending column 220 follows the rotation of the rotating shaft 210, the bending column 220 undergoes elastic deformation to enter the positioning slot 120, thereby limiting the angular position of the cantilever rack 200 and preventing the cantilever rack 200 from tipping over due to accidental touch. When the cantilever rack 200 needs to be used, the cantilever rack 200 is driven to rotate to the first state relative to the installation body 100. During this process, the bending column 220 undergoes elastic deformation to be able to leave the positioning slot 120, and the cantilever rack 200 can be against the desktop on one side of the sink and extend to the top of the sink for normal use. The cantilever rack 200 is labor-saving and convenient to operate when it is unfolded.

[0033] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 It should be noted that, in some embodiments, in order to facilitate the convenient installation of the foldable drain rack in different usage scenarios, the installation body 100 is provided with a suction cup assembly 500, and the adsorption surface of the suction cup assembly 500 constitutes the installation surface. The suction cup assembly 500 can be pasted and fixed on a horizontal desktop or a vertical wall. When the suction cup assembly 500 is pasted and fixed on the vertical wall, the suspension frame 200 in the second state can be used to hang items, such as acting as a towel rack. At this time, the suspension frame 200 in the above-mentioned first state is folded on one side of the vertical wall.

[0034] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 6In some embodiments of the utility model, the suspension frame 200 includes a U-shaped rod, and both ends of the U-shaped rod are provided with horizontally arranged rotating shaft members 210, the two rotating shaft members 210 are coaxially arranged, and the two bending columns 220 are arranged facing each other. The contour edge of the installation body 100 has two axial holes 110 arranged back to back, and each axial hole 110 is provided with a positioning slot 120. Through the above structure, a stable connection between the suspension frame 200 and the installation body 100 can be achieved, so that the suspension frame 200 in the first state and the second state can be stable relative to the installation body 100, which is also beneficial to improve the carrying capacity of the suspension frame 200.

[0035] See also Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 In some embodiments of the utility model, the mounting body 100 is provided with a first limiting plate 130 located on one side of the axial hole 110 and a second limiting plate 140 facing the axial hole 110, the second limiting plate 140 and the first limiting plate 130 are perpendicular to each other, a limiting protrusion 150 is provided on the surface of the second limiting plate 140 facing the axial hole 110, the positioning slot 120 is defined between the limiting protrusion 150 and the first limiting plate 130, and the slot width of the positioning slot 120 is smaller than the diameter size of the bending column 220 so as to clamp the bending column 220. It is understandable that, in the process of the suspension frame 200 rotating from the first state to the second state, the bending column 220 enters the positioning slot 120 from the outside of the positioning slot 120. In this process, the bending column 220 switches from abutting against the outside of the limiting protrusion 150 to abutting against the inside of the limiting protrusion 150, and is finally clamped by the limiting protrusion 150 and the first limiting plate 130. The bending column 220 follows the rotation of the rotating shaft 210 and elastically deforms when passing over the limiting protrusion 150. The slot width of the positioning slot 120 is smaller than the diameter of the bending column 220, which can prevent the U-shaped rod from loosening relative to the installation body 100.

[0036] It is understandable that the height dimension of the limiting protrusion 150 protruding from the second limiting plate 140 should not be too large, otherwise it is difficult for the bending column 220 to pass over the limiting protrusion 150 when elastic deformation occurs, causing the problem that the suspension frame 200 is difficult to switch between the first state and the second state. Through experiments, it is known that when the diameter dimension of the bending column 220 is 3mm to 6mm, and the height dimension of the bar protrusion protruding from the second limiting plate 140 is 1mm to 2mm, the bending column 220 is not easy to disengage from the positioning card slot 120, and the external force used by the user to drive the suspension frame 200 to rotate to switch between the first state and the second state is relatively moderate.

[0037] See also Figure 5In some embodiments of the present invention, in order to prevent the U-shaped rod from getting stuck when it rotates relative to the installation body 100, a height gap is provided between the bending column 220 and the second limiting plate 140. In order to ensure that the limiting protrusion 150 can prevent the bending column 220 from easily detaching from the positioning slot 120, the height gap is smaller than the height dimension of the limiting protrusion 150 protruding from the second limiting plate 140.

[0038] See also Figure 2 and Figure 6 In some embodiments of the utility model, the bending column 220 includes a bending section 221 with a bending angle of 90° and a horizontal extension section 222 connected to the bending section 221. The limiting protrusion 150 is a strip-shaped protrusion parallel to the horizontal extension section 222. When the suspension frame 200 is in the second state, the outer walls of the horizontal extension section 222 and part of the bending section 221 on opposite sides respectively abut against the first limiting plate 130 and the strip-shaped protrusion. It can be understood that the bending section 221 with a bending angle of 90° is conducive to the bending column 220 to produce appropriate elastic deformation and also helps to restore the elastic deformation. The provision of the horizontal extension section 222 can increase the contact area between the bending column 220 and the strip-shaped protrusion, so that the angular position of the suspension frame 200 in the second state is not easy to change.

[0039] In some embodiments of the utility model, in order to simplify the production process, reduce costs, and avoid unnecessary assembly processes, the U-shaped rod, the rotating shaft 210, and the bending column 220 are metal rods or plastic rods of an integrated structure. In this embodiment, the U-shaped rod, the rotating shaft 210, and the bending column 220 together constitute the above-mentioned suspension frame 200. The U-shaped rod, the rotating shaft 210, and the bending column 220 are iron rods of an integrated structure, which not only ensures a certain mechanical strength, but also facilitates manufacturing and has a low cost. The installation body 100, the first limiting plate 130, the second limiting plate 140, and the limiting protrusion 150 are formed by integral injection molding. When the bending column 220 repeatedly crosses the limiting protrusion 150, the second limiting plate 140 and the limiting protrusion 150 produce a large elastic deformation to allow the bending column 220 to smoothly enter and exit the positioning slot 120.

[0040] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments of the present invention, at least one pad 300 for supporting on the desktop is installed on the opposite sides of the U-shaped rod. It can be understood that when the folding drain rack of the present invention is used next to the sink, the overhanging frame 200 rotates to the first horizontal state relative to the installation body 100, and the overhanging frame 200 extends to the top of the sink for use. At this time, the pad 300 can contact the desktop on one side of the sink to hold up the U-shaped rod, avoiding the rigid collision between the U-shaped rod and the desktop. Specifically, the pad 300 is composed of a soft rubber part or a sponge.

[0041] See also Figure 1 In some embodiments of the utility model, the pad 300 is installed at one end of the U-shaped rod close to the installation body 100, and the U-shaped rod is provided with four hooks 400 on the side of the pad 300 away from the installation body 100. The four hooks 400 are distributed in a rectangular shape for detachable installation of the filter. It can be understood that the pad 300 is installed at one end of the U-shaped rod close to the installation body 100 to support the tabletop at the edge of the sink. The filter used to filter impurities can be hung on the four corners on the hooks 400, and the filter can be removed from the four hooks 400 by stretching it, which is convenient for use in the kitchen when cooking.

[0042] The technical features of the above embodiments may be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0043] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the claims and their equivalents.
