[0002] A cupboard is a piece of kitchen furniture used to store household items such as bowls, chopsticks, and dishes. Traditional cupboards are made of wood, which makes them bulky and difficult to carry. However, with the development of the plastics industry, plastic cupboards have become widely used due to their lightness, durability, and affordability.

[0003] Existing cupboards, for example, Chinese patent literature discloses a sanitary cupboard [patent number: 201620325205.1; application publication number: CN206252124U], which includes a cabinet body and a dish drain rack placed inside the cabinet body. A dust cover is provided above the cabinet body, and the dust cover is snap-fitted with the cabinet body. A window is provided in the middle of the dust cover, and a flip cover is provided above the window to cooperate with it. The rear end of the flip cover is hingedly connected to the dust cover, and the flip cover and the window are covered in a covering manner. An annular groove is provided below the overlapping edge ring of the flip cover, and a silicone ring is provided on the groove. The silicone ring is fitted and sealed to the edge of the dust cover window.

[0004] In a cupboard of this structure, a dish drain rack is provided with a plurality of drain holes. When bowls, chopsticks, and plates are placed on the dish drain rack, the drain water will flow through the drain holes to the bottom of the cupboard. Although the drain water will not adhere to the bowls, chopsticks, and plates, it is still located inside the cupboard and cannot be discharged outside the cupboard, resulting in a relatively humid environment inside the cupboard, which is prone to breeding bacteria. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the above problems existing in the prior art and to propose an ellipsoidal drain cupboard, which solves the technical problem of how to drain the drain water in the cupboard.

[0006] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an ellipsoidal cupboard for draining cups, comprising a cabinet body with a window and a drain rack placed in the cabinet body, the cabinet body being hinged with a lift-up cover that can cover the window, characterized in that the bottom of the cabinet body has a plurality of through drain holes, the bottom outside the cabinet body is provided with a drawer-type drain board for holding drained water, the drain board can be moved to directly below the drain holes, the bottom of the cabinet body has a plurality of support feet protruding downward, and the bottom of the support feet is located below the drain board.

[0007] Bowls, basins, and chopsticks are placed on the drain rack. The drain water flows through the drain rack to the bottom of the cabinet body, and then flows through the drain holes into the drain board. The drain board is a drawer-style that can be pulled back and forth. The drain board can be pulled out and the drain water can be poured out, so that the drain water in the cupboard can be drained out conveniently and prevent bacteria from growing in the cabinet body. The support legs are provided to support the cabinet body and at the same time, the support legs ensure that there is sufficient vertical space at the bottom of the cabinet body to install the drain board, so that the drain board can be installed at the bottom of the cabinet body.

[0008] In the aforementioned ellipsoidal cupboard drain, the bottom of the cabinet has a planar bottom wall, the drain holes extending through the bottom wall, and a pair of downwardly projecting, parallel guide bars disposed on the bottom wall. The guide bars are located on either side of each of the drain holes, and the drain plate is embedded in the guide bars on either side, and the drain plate is movable along the guide bars. The planar bottom wall allows the drain plate to rest against the bottom wall of the cabinet. The guide bars are provided to allow the drain plate to be positioned at the bottom of the cabinet and to move in a predetermined direction, ensuring that drain water flows to the drain plate. Furthermore, the drain water can be discarded by removing the drain plate, thereby preventing bacterial growth in the cabinet.

[0009] In the aforementioned ellipsoidal drain cupboard, the bottom wall has a downwardly projecting stop bar, which is perpendicular to the guide bar and against which the drain plate rests. The stop bar is used to position the drain plate, allowing it to move into position and ensuring that it is directly below the drain hole.

A curved, upwardly protruding abutment bar extends between the bowl and basin placement areas, and the chopstick placement area has an upwardly protruding partition wall along its circumferential edge. This structure effectively utilizes space, allowing the drain rack to accommodate tableware such as bowls, basins, and chopsticks.

[0015] In the aforementioned ellipsoidal cupboard drainer, the bottoms of the bowl and chopstick placement areas are both hollowed-out, while the bottom of the basin placement area is arc-shaped and concave along the front-to-back direction of the drain rack. This structure ensures that drained water from bowls, basins, and chopsticks flows to the bottom of the cabinet and, through the drain holes, to the drain plate, allowing it to be discharged from the cabinet.

[0016] In the above-mentioned ellipsoidal drain cupboard, the cupboard body, the drain rack and the opening cover are all made of plastic material. The cupboard made of plastic material is light in weight, portable and easy to use.

[0017] In the aforementioned ellipsoidal drain cupboard, the cabinet body includes a base and an upper cover. The base has a lower abutment bar at the top edge, and the upper cover has an upper abutment bar at the bottom edge. The upper and lower abutment bars abut against each other and are locked by fasteners, thereby securing the base and upper cover. The cover rests against the upper abutment bar when it is flipped back away from the window. The cabinet body is divided into two parts, which facilitates processing. The upper and lower abutment bars are secured together by fasteners, such as bolts, facilitating securement of the base and upper cover. If necessary, the openings between the base and upper cover can be reinforced with snap fasteners.

[0018] In the above-mentioned ellipsoidal drain cupboard, both left and right ends of the lift-up cover have hinge strips, both left and right ends of the cabinet body have first hinge holes, and the hinge strips have second hinge holes. The cabinet body and the lift-up cover are hingedly connected by a hinge member passing through the first hinge hole and the second hinge hole.

[0019] In the aforementioned ellipsoidal cupboard, the hinged member includes a first hinge shaft and a second hinge shaft, the first hinge shaft and the second hinge shaft passing through the first hinge hole and the second hinge hole, and are fixedly connected by plugging and tightly fitting. One end of the first hinge shaft has a first limit plate, and the first limit plate is located inside the cupboard body. One end of the second hinge shaft has a second limit plate, and the second limit plate is located outside the cupboard body. This structure facilitates installation of the hinged member and facilitates connection of the cupboard body and the lift cover via the hinged member.

[0020] In the aforementioned ellipsoidal drain cabinet, each left and right end of the cabinet body has a transition hole, which communicates with the first hinge hole. The transition hole has a larger diameter than the first hinge hole, and the width of the connection between the transition hole and the first hinge hole is smaller than the diameter of the first hinge hole. The second hinge shaft first passes through the transition hole, then applies a certain pressure to pass over the connection and enter the first hinge hole, so that the first hinge shaft and the second hinge shaft can be tightly connected by plugging.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the ellipsoidal drain cupboard provided by the present invention has the following advantages:

[0022] 1. A drain hole is set at the bottom of the cabinet so that the drain water in the cabinet can be discharged into the drain board in time. The drain board is a drawer-type structure, which is convenient to pull out and drain the water, so that the drain water in the cupboard can be discharged to prevent bacteria from growing in the cabinet.

[0023] 2. The drain rack is supported and positioned by the second ring wall and the positioning piece in the cabinet body, so that the position of the drain rack will not be tilted after placing bowls and basins on it, thereby improving the stability of the cupboard.
