Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tableware technology, and in particular discloses a silicone plate that is easy to clean. Background Technology
[0002] As living standards improve, people have higher demands for the functionality, hygiene, and convenience of tableware. Traditional plates often suffer from problems such as difficulty in removing food residue and grease during washing, and incomplete cleaning. Bacteria easily grow in crevices, corners, and hard-to-clean surfaces, affecting the usability and hygiene of the tableware. Therefore, convenient and efficient plate designs are particularly important, especially considering improvements in ease of cleaning and antibacterial properties. Existing silicone plates have made some improvements in anti-slip, anti-splash, and stain-resistant functions, but problems such as incomplete cleaning, food residue retention, and a lack of convenient handling methods still exist. Utility Model Content
[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a silicone plate that is easy to clean.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a silicone plate that is easy to clean, comprising a first plate body, a second plate body, and a third plate body. The first plate body is provided with a receiving groove, and the second and third plate bodies are received within the first plate body via the receiving groove. The first plate body has an arc-shaped sidewall, and the second and third plate bodies each have an arc-shaped edge. The arc-shaped edges of the second and third plate bodies are designed to fit against the inner surface of the arc-shaped sidewall of the receiving groove of the first plate body, reducing the gaps between the plate bodies where food residue and liquid can enter, and further improving the ease of cleaning.
[0005] The first, second, and third plates are connected by recessed slots, and the plates fit tightly together, effectively reducing the accumulation of food residue and liquid in the gaps between them. This makes cleaning more thorough, avoiding the accumulation of food residue in corners and crevices found in traditional plates, and improving cleaning efficiency. The modular design allows the plates to be disassembled or reassembled as needed, facilitating individual cleaning of each part. Especially during the washing process, cleaning each plate separately makes it easier to clean the corners and insides of each part, avoiding the hard-to-clean areas found in traditional plates.
[0006] The first, second, and third plate bodies are all made of silicone. Silicone is highly flexible and durable, meaning the plates are not easily deformed or damaged even with frequent use and washing. Furthermore, silicone plates can be used in high-temperature environments, meeting daily cooking and cleaning needs. The smooth surface of silicone is also stain-resistant, effectively reducing the adhesion of grease, food residue, and dirt, preventing stubborn stains from remaining on the plate surface. This makes the cleaning process easier, reducing both difficulty and time. The lightweight nature of silicone makes the plates easy to move and wash, simplifying the cleaning process. Because silicone surfaces do not easily accumulate residue, the need for cleaning agents is reduced, making it more environmentally friendly.
[0007] The second tray includes a main body and a protrusion extending from the main body. The protrusion facilitates easy handling during washing. The protrusion design makes it easier to pick up the second tray during washing. It provides a clear gripping point, especially during washing, allowing the user to easily lift the second tray and avoid slipping or difficulty in gripping. The presence of the protrusion improves comfort and safety, particularly when washing in a sink.
[0008] The bottom of the first plate is also provided with a suction cup and a handle protruding from the side of the suction cup. The suction cup is used to fix the first plate on the plane during cleaning to prevent the first plate from falling, and the handle is used to pick up the first plate or adjust its position during cleaning.
[0009] The suction cup design firmly secures the plate to a flat surface, preventing it from slipping or falling during washing due to water flow or improper handling. Especially during washing, the suction cup adheres to the sink or countertop, significantly reducing the risk of slippage and ensuring safety. The handle design allows users to easily move the plate, avoiding inconvenience caused by improper force or slipping.
[0010] The first, second, and third plates are provided with an anti-fouling coating to make the plates smoother and reduce food residue from adhering to the plate surface.
[0011] Anti-fouling coatings typically use environmentally friendly, food-grade materials, such as polyvinyl fluoride (PTFE) or silane coatings, which possess strong hydrophobicity and anti-fouling properties. The coating materials must meet food contact standards to ensure no harmful substances are released during use. The anti-fouling coating can be uniformly applied to the surfaces of the first, second, and third discs through processes such as spraying, dipping, or coating. The coating thickness is generally controlled at the micrometer level to ensure that the flexibility and durability of the silicone material are not affected, while achieving good anti-fouling performance.
[0012] The anti-fouling coating is further reinforced with an antibacterial coating, which inhibits bacterial growth on the plate surface. This antibacterial coating typically uses materials with antibacterial properties, such as silver or copper ion coatings, effectively reducing bacterial growth and providing additional hygienic protection, maintaining the cleanliness and safety of the plate, especially in daily use and environments with prolonged food contact. The antibacterial coating effectively reduces bacterial adhesion to food residue, lowering the risk of cross-contamination. The plate surface is less prone to accumulating bacteria and odors, thus improving hygiene and ensuring food is stored and consumed under hygienic conditions, protecting the user's health.
[0013] The bottom and side walls of the plate are provided with inner rounded corners, which makes it less likely for food residue or cleaning liquid to remain on the plate during washing.
[0014] The rounded corners on the bottom and sides of the second and third plates allow for a more thorough cleaning process. These rounded corners prevent food residue and cleaning solution from accumulating on traditional hard corners. Food residue and cleaning solution slide off more easily at the rounded corners, avoiding hard-to-reach areas and making cleaning more efficient.
[0015] The anti-stain coating thickness is 1-10 μm. A coating thickness of 1-10 μm maintains sufficient anti-stain performance without compromising the plate's flexibility and comfort. An excessively thick coating may affect the silicone plate's elasticity, while an excessively thin coating may not effectively prevent stain adhesion. A coating thickness of 1-10 μm represents the optimal balance, ensuring both effective stain resistance and a comfortable user experience.
[0016] The antibacterial coating has a thickness of 1-10 μm. A 1-10 μm antibacterial coating effectively inhibits the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms without affecting the feel or performance of the plate. This thickness range ensures sufficient distribution of the antibacterial components, maintaining a sustained antibacterial effect, reducing bacterial growth, and keeping the plate clean and hygienic.
[0017] The outer surfaces of the first, second, and third discs are provided with anti-slip textures, which are strip-shaped ribs or wavy ribs protruding from the disc surface or blind grooves recessed from the disc surface.
[0018] The outer surfaces of the first, second, and third plates are textured with anti-slip patterns. These patterns, including raised ribs, wavy ribs, and recessed blind grooves, effectively increase the friction of the plates, thus improving their anti-slip properties. These anti-slip designs ensure that the plates will not slide during use, especially in wet or slippery environments, such as during washing or when the plates are wet or oily. The anti-slip texture helps to stabilize the plates and prevent them from sliding or falling.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This silicone plate, through its modular design and functional coatings such as anti-slip, anti-fouling, and antibacterial properties, significantly improves the ease of cleaning and safety of use. The first, second, and third plate bodies are tightly connected by a receiving groove, reducing the accumulation of food residue and liquid in the gaps between the plates, facilitating thorough cleaning. The anti-fouling and antibacterial coatings effectively reduce the adhesion of stains and bacteria, ensuring a smoother, easier-to-clean surface and inhibiting bacterial growth, thus ensuring food hygiene. The anti-slip texture and suction cup design improve the plate's stability, preventing slipping and falling, and enhancing safety during use. Overall, this plate design not only solves the problems of difficult cleaning and easy dirt accumulation in traditional plates but also improves ease of use and hygiene, making it an innovative product that combines practicality and safety.

[0028] To facilitate understanding by those skilled in the art, the present invention will be further described below with reference to embodiments and accompanying drawings. The content mentioned in the embodiments is not intended to limit the present invention.
[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model discloses a silicone plate that is easy to clean, comprising a first plate body 1, a second plate body 2, and a third plate body 3. The first plate body 1 is provided with a receiving groove 4, and the second plate body 2 and the third plate body 3 are received in the first plate body 1 through the receiving groove 4. The first plate body 1 has an arc-shaped side wall, and the second plate body 2 and the third plate body 3 each have an arc-shaped edge 5. The arc-shaped edges 5 of the second plate body 2 and the arc-shaped edges 5 of the third plate body 3 are used to fit against the inner surface of the arc-shaped side wall of the receiving groove 4 of the first plate body 1, reducing the gaps between the plate bodies where food residue and liquid enter, and further improving the ease of cleaning.
[0030] The first plate 1, the second plate 2, and the third plate 3 are connected by a receiving groove 4, and the plates fit tightly together, effectively reducing the accumulation of food residue and liquid in the gaps between the plates. This makes cleaning more thorough, avoiding the accumulation of food residue in the corners and crevices of traditional plates, and improving cleaning efficiency. The modular design allows the plates to be disassembled or combined as needed, facilitating individual cleaning of each part. Especially during the cleaning process, if the plates are cleaned separately, it is easier to clean the corners and insides of each part, avoiding the hard-to-clean areas that are difficult to reach with traditional plates.
[0031] The first plate 1, the second plate 2, and the third plate 3 are all made of silicone. Silicone is highly flexible and durable, meaning the plates are not easily deformed or damaged even with frequent use and washing. Furthermore, silicone plates can be used in high-temperature environments, meeting daily cooking and cleaning needs. The smooth surface of silicone is also stain-resistant, effectively reducing the adhesion of grease, food residue, and dirt, preventing stubborn stains from remaining on the plate surface. This makes the cleaning process more convenient, reducing cleaning difficulty and time. The lightweight nature of silicone makes the plates easy to move and wash, simplifying the cleaning process. Because silicone surfaces do not easily accumulate residue, the need for cleaning agents is reduced, making it more environmentally friendly.
[0032] The second tray 2 includes a body 6 and a protrusion 7 extending from the body 6. The protrusion 7 facilitates easy handling during washing. The design of the protrusion 7 makes it easier to pick up the second tray 2 during washing. The protrusion 7 provides a clear gripping point for the user, especially during washing, allowing the user to easily lift the second tray 2 and avoid slipping or difficulty in gripping. Especially when washing in a sink, the presence of the protrusion 7 improves operational comfort and safety.
[0033] The bottom of the first disc body 1 is also provided with a suction cup 8 and a handle 9 protruding from the side of the suction cup 8. The suction cup 8 is used to fix the first disc body 1 on the plane during cleaning to prevent the first disc body 1 from falling. The handle 9 is used to pick up the first disc body 1 or adjust its position during cleaning.
[0034] The suction cup 8 is designed to firmly fix the first plate 1 to a flat surface, preventing the plate from sliding or falling during washing due to water flow or improper operation. Especially during washing, the suction cup 8, by adhering to the sink or countertop, greatly reduces the risk of the plate sliding, thus ensuring safety during the washing process. The handle 9 allows users to easily move the plate, avoiding inconvenience caused by improper force or slipping.
[0035] The first plate body 1, the second plate body 2 and the third plate body 3 are provided with an anti-fouling coating 11. The anti-fouling coating 11 is used to make the plate smoother and reduce food residue adhering to the plate surface.
[0036] The anti-fouling coating 11 typically uses environmentally friendly, food-grade materials, such as polyvinyl fluoride (PTFE) or silane coatings, which possess strong hydrophobicity and anti-fouling properties. The coating material must meet food contact standards to ensure that no harmful substances are released during use. The anti-fouling coating 11 can be uniformly applied to the surfaces of the first disc 1, the second disc 2, and the third disc 3 through processes such as spraying, dipping, or coating. The coating thickness is generally controlled at the micrometer level to ensure that the flexibility and durability of the silicone material are not affected, while achieving good anti-fouling performance.
[0037] An antibacterial coating 12 is also provided on the outer side of the anti-fouling coating 11. The antibacterial coating 12 inhibits bacterial growth on the plate surface. The antibacterial coating 12 typically uses materials with antibacterial properties, such as silver or copper ion coatings, which effectively reduce bacterial growth, provide additional hygienic protection, and maintain the cleanliness and safety of the plate, especially in daily use and environments where food is in prolonged contact. The antibacterial coating 12 effectively reduces the adhesion of bacteria to food residue, lowering the risk of cross-contamination. Bacteria and odors are less likely to accumulate on the plate surface, thus improving the hygiene of the plate, ensuring food is stored and consumed under hygienic conditions, and protecting the health of the user.
[0038] The bottom and side walls of the plate are provided with inner rounded corners 14, which makes it less likely for food residue or cleaning liquid to remain on the plate during cleaning.
[0039] The rounded corners (14) on the bottom and sides of the second and third plates (2 and 3) allow for a more thorough cleaning process. These rounded corners prevent food residue and cleaning solution from accumulating on traditional hard corners. Food residue and cleaning solution slide off more easily at the rounded corners (14), avoiding hard-to-reach areas and making cleaning more efficient.
[0040] The anti-stain coating 11 has a thickness of 1-10 μm. A coating thickness of 1-10 μm maintains sufficient anti-stain performance without compromising the plate's flexibility and comfort. An excessively thick coating may affect the silicone plate's elasticity, while an excessively thin coating may not effectively prevent stain adhesion. A coating thickness of 1-10 μm represents the optimal balance, ensuring both anti-stain performance and a comfortable user experience.
[0041] The antibacterial coating 12 has a thickness of 1-10 μm. A 1-10 μm antibacterial coating 12 can effectively inhibit the growth of bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms without affecting the feel or performance of the plate. This thickness range ensures sufficient distribution of the antibacterial components, maintaining a sustained antibacterial effect, reducing bacterial growth, and keeping the plate clean and hygienic.
[0042] The outer surfaces of the first disc 1, the second disc 2, and the third disc 3 are provided with anti-slip textures, which are strip-shaped ribs or wavy ribs protruding from the surface of the disc or blind grooves recessed from the surface of the disc.
[0043] The outer surfaces of the first plate (1), second plate (2), and third plate (3) are equipped with anti-slip textures. These textures, including ribbed strips, wavy ribs, or recessed blind grooves, effectively increase the friction of the plates, thus improving their anti-slip properties. These anti-slip designs ensure that the plates will not slide during use, especially in wet or slippery environments, such as during washing or when the plates are wet or oily. The anti-slip textures stabilize the plates, preventing them from sliding or falling.
[0044] The bottom wall of the first disc 1 is provided with a first magnetic element, and the bottom walls of the second disc 2 and the third disc 3 are each provided with a second magnetic element for attracting the first magnetic element. The first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are respectively a magnet, a magnetic conductive sheet that can be attracted by a magnet, or both the first magnetic element and the second magnetic element are magnets. Preferably, the magnetic element is located inside the bottom wall, that is, the magnetic element is injection molded and covered inside the bottom wall to avoid the magnetic element being exposed on the bottom wall and thus damaged.
[0045] The side walls of the second disc 2 and the third disc 3 are respectively provided with a third magnetic component and a fourth magnetic component that can attract each other. The mutual attraction of the third magnetic component and the fourth magnetic component makes it easy for both to be taken out of the receiving groove 4 of the first disc 1 at the same time.
[0046] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation method and application scope based on the idea of this utility model. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.
