[0023] Example 1:

[0024] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, a silicone foldable colander includes:

[0025] Center seat: includes a base 1 and a cylinder 2, wherein the cylinder 2 is arranged perpendicular to the base 1 and the cylinder 2 and the base 1 are integrated;

[0026] The folding page 3 is fan-shaped, and one end of the folding page 3 is sleeved on the cylinder 2. There are several folding pages 3, and several leakage holes 301 are provided on the folding pages 3. Several folding pages 3 form a circular leakage basket.

[0027] A preferred implementation of this embodiment is that an arc-shaped plate 4 is provided at one end of the folding page 3, and a ring 5 is provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped plate 4. The ring 5 is sleeved on the cylinder 2 and rotates with the sleeve 2. The arc-shaped plate 4 is arranged perpendicular to the folding page 3, and the central axis of the ring 5 is on the same straight line as the central axis of the arc-shaped plate 4.

[0028] In practice, four folding leaves are provided, each with a 90-degree fan-shaped angle. The curved plate is also curved at a 90-degree angle, with the fan-shaped center, the curved plate center, and the center of the collar aligned. When in use, the collar is placed on the cylinder, with the four folding leaves arranged in a circular array to form a circular colander. When not in use, the four folding leaves are placed front and back on the cylinder, occupying one-quarter the space of a normal colander. The number of folding leaves in this embodiment can be adjusted as needed, along with the fan-shaped angle of each folding leaf and the curved plate angle, so that the circular array of folding leaves is connected end to end to form a complete colander.

[0029] A preferred implementation of this embodiment is that the rings 5 ​​corresponding to the folding pages 3 are staggered, the fan angle of the folding page 3 is the same as the curvature of the arc plate 4, and a groove 302 is provided on the side of the folding page 3 away from the arc plate 4, and the groove 302 is used to facilitate the user to grab the colander.

[0030] In specific implementation, the height of the curved plate is 8 mm, the ring corresponding to the first folding page is set at 2 mm from the highest point of the curved plate, the ring corresponding to the second folding page is set at 2 mm from the upper middle part of the curved plate, the ring corresponding to the third folding page is set at 2 mm from the lower middle part of the curved plate, and the ring corresponding to the fourth folding page is set at 2 mm from the lower part of the curved plate, so that the rings can be staggered, and the curved plates corresponding to each folding page are connected end to end to form an annular sleeve that is sleeved on the outer ring of the cylinder.

[0031] A preferred implementation of this embodiment is that a plurality of protrusions 101 are provided on the outer ring of one side of the base 1, and a notch 303 is provided on one end of the folding page 3 close to the arc plate, and the notch 303 is provided in coordination with the protrusion 101, and the protrusion 101 is provided in a one-to-one correspondence with the folding page 3.

[0032] In practice, the base features four protrusions arranged in a circular array on the outer ring of the upper end face. These protrusions engage with notches on the hinged leaf. When in use, each hinged leaf is unfolded and snapped into place by aligning the notch with the protrusions. This prevents the hinged leaf from shaking and potentially causing the entire colander to disintegrate. When not in use, the hinged leaf is lifted to disengage the notches and protrusions, allowing the hinged leaf to be stored in a front-to-back arrangement along the central axis of the cylinder, minimizing space usage.

[0033] In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, a through hole 6 is provided at the center of the center seat, and the through hole 6 is used for hanging on the bracket. The through hole is also a hanging hole for hanging on the wall.

[0034] In a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the base 1 is supported by silicone, and a silicone cushioning layer is provided on both sides of the fan-shaped folding leaf 2. The silicone on both sides of the fan-shaped folding leaf can effectively reduce the gap between two adjacent folding leaves, preventing vegetables and fruits from leaking out.

[0035] The above description of the present invention and its embodiments is non-limiting. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by the above, and does not deviate from the purpose of the present invention, without inventive design, a structure and embodiment similar to the technical solution should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
