[0030] The following embodiments of the present invention are described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0031] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0032] See also Figure 1-Figure 5 A dish storage structure for a kitchen or cabinet includes a base 1, a connecting shaft 2 and a wing plate 3. The base 1 can be placed in a cabinet 12 drawer or a countertop. A gear 4 is coaxially installed at the center of the base 1. Two groups of connecting shafts 2 are provided. A rack 5 is provided at one end of the connecting shaft 2. The rack 5 is rotatably connected to the gear 4 from both sides. The wing plate 3 is vertically installed at the other end of the connecting shaft 2. The wing plate 3 is used to clamp and fix the dishes placed on the base 1.

[0033] When storing dishes, the wings 3 are pulled away from each other. At this time, the wings 3 drive the connecting shaft 2 to slide to both sides, and the gear 4 rotates under the action of the rack 5. The wings 3 are in the expanded state, providing an open space for users to conveniently store and retrieve dishes. The user places the dishes on the upper end surface of the base 1. After placing them stably, the wings 3 are pressed towards each other to make the wings 3 fix the two sides of the dishes stably. The adjustable setting of the wings 3 realizes the centralized storage of dishes of different specifications.

[0034] The wing panel 3 can be pulled open or pressed as needed, allowing it to be adjusted to different widths, so that users can easily adjust the dish storage space to accommodate dishes of various specifications (such as large bowls, small bowls, flat plates, deep plates, etc.), thereby ensuring that all dishes can be reasonably stored; this structure allows users to store dishes in a vertical direction instead of relying solely on horizontal stacking. By unfolding the wing panel 3, users can maximize the use of vertical height in a limited kitchen space, effectively increase storage capacity, and improve the storage space utilization rate of kitchen storage.

[0035] To prevent moisture accumulation on the base 1 and keep the countertop clean, in one embodiment, drain grooves 6 are provided on both sides of the base 1. The drain grooves 6 are shaped to match the sides of the base 1. The design of the drain grooves 6 effectively collects moisture from used dishes, preventing moisture accumulation on the base 1, keeping the dishes dry, and reducing the risk of bacteria and mold during storage, thereby ensuring tableware hygiene. The shape of the drain grooves 6 matches the sides of the base 1, allowing water to flow smoothly into the drain grooves 6, ensuring that moisture does not accumulate in the storage space and can be quickly drained, keeping the countertop clean.

[0036] In order to facilitate users to clean after use and extend the service life of the dish storage structure, based on this, in one embodiment, the drain trough 6 is detachably mounted on the base 1. The detachable drain trough 6 can be conveniently cleaned by users after use. Whether it is scale, oil stains or food residues, they can all be easily removed to ensure hygiene. Keeping the drain trough 6 clean helps to improve the hygiene standards of the overall storage environment; if the drain trough 6 has been used for too long or is physically damaged, the user can easily disassemble and replace it with a new drain trough 6 without replacing the entire base 1. This design extends the service life of the product and reduces maintenance costs; the detachable design allows users to choose whether to use the drain trough 6 as needed. In some cases, if the drain function is not needed, the user can choose to remove it to save space and facilitate operation.

[0037] To prevent the growth of bacteria and mold caused by moisture and maintain dish hygiene, in one embodiment, a removable absorbent sponge 7 is installed within the drain trough 6. This removable absorbent sponge 7 effectively absorbs any remaining moisture in the drain trough 6, preventing it from accumulating. The sponge's porous nature allows it to quickly absorb moisture, keeping dishes dry and reducing water stains. Users can easily remove the absorbent sponge 7 for cleaning, drying, or replacement, ensuring the sponge remains sanitary, preventing the growth of bacteria and mold caused by moisture and maintaining dish hygiene.

[0038] To reduce the risk of dishes falling, ensure user safety, and keep dishes intact, in one embodiment, a non-slip mat 8 is provided at the bottom of the base 1. The non-slip mat 8 can effectively increase the friction of the dish storage structure on the countertop, preventing it from sliding due to unstable center of gravity or external forces during use. This is particularly important in frequently used kitchen environments, as it helps reduce the risk of accidental tipping. Providing the non-slip mat 8 between the dish storage structure and the countertop can reduce wear and scratches caused by direct contact, protecting the integrity of the kitchen countertop. By increasing the friction at the bottom, the dish storage structure is less likely to accidentally slide due to collisions or user operations, thereby reducing the risk of dishes falling, ensuring user safety, and keeping dishes intact.

[0039] To prevent scratches, collisions, or breakage between dishes and reduce the noise generated during placement or movement, in one embodiment, anti-slip strips 9 are provided on the vertical inner wall of the wing 3. These strips 9 are evenly spaced and serve to separate adjacent groups of dishes. The presence of these strips increases friction between the dishes, preventing them from sliding during storage or removal, ensuring they remain securely in place and effectively reducing the risk of tipping or falling. The spaced anti-slip strips 9 provide clear separations between stored dishes, preventing them from directly contacting each other, thus preventing scratches, collisions, and breakage. This design helps better utilize countertop space and maintains orderliness. The anti-slip strips 9 provide a buffer between the dishes and the wing 3, reducing the noise generated during placement or movement and enhancing the user experience in the kitchen.

[0040] In order to provide more efficient space utilization and increase the supporting capacity of the wing 3, based on this, in one embodiment, the wing 3 is configured to be arc-shaped. The design of the arc-shaped wing 3 makes the layout of the wing 3 in space more flexible and can increase the storage capacity of dishes to a certain extent. Since its shape can match the shape of the dishes, it provides more efficient space utilization; the arc-shaped structure can more reasonably distribute the force application surface, increase the supporting capacity of the wing 3, reduce the risk of dishes sliding due to tilting or unstable center of gravity, and improve the storage safety of dishes; the arc-shaped design of the wing 3 can make the load applied to it more evenly distributed, thereby reducing deformation or damage caused by uneven load and improving the durability of the overall structure.

[0041] To facilitate user disassembly of the drain 6 and simplify cleaning and maintenance of the drain structure, in one embodiment, grooves 10 are recessed on either side of the base 1. A protrusion 11 is provided on the inner side of the arc of the drain 6, which engages with the grooves 10. The design of the grooves 10 and protrusions 11 allows users to easily remove the drain 6 from the base 1, greatly simplifying cleaning and maintenance of the drain structure. Maintaining cleanliness is crucial in the kitchen, and an easily removable design makes cleaning much easier. This plug-in fit provides a tight connection, ensuring that the drain 6 will not easily fall off during use, enhancing the stability of the entire storage structure and being crucial for the placement of dishes and the effective drainage of water.
