[0039] In the description of the utility model, it needs to explain, unless another explicit provision and limitation, the term "installation", "connection", "connection" should be broad sense, for example, it can be fixed connection, can be detachable connection, or integrally connected, can be mechanical connection, can be electrical connection, can be directly connected, also can be indirectly connected through the intermediate medium. For ordinary skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in the utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0040] The existing chopstick cage assembly is usually used for storing chopsticks 32 and other conventional tableware. However, these chopstick cage assemblies do not involve the design specially for the cleaning of tubular tableware 31 (such as straws and the like). Therefore, during the cleaning process, the tubular tableware 31 is often placed in an inclined manner in the chopstick cage 1 naturally, which is inconsistent with the direction of the washing water flow, so that the water flow is difficult to effectively flow through the inside thereof. In addition, the bottom of the tubular tableware 31 directly contacts the chopstick cage 1, which hinders the smooth flow of water through the inside thereof and hinders the discharge of the internal residues, resulting in poor cleaning effect of the tubular tableware 31.

[0041] As shown in the utility model embodiment, a chopstick cage assembly is introduced to solve the above technical problems. Figures 1 to 6

[0042] The chopstick cage assembly comprises a chopstick cage 1, and an elastic clamping portion 20 is arranged on the chopstick cage 1. The elastic clamping portion 20 is provided with a clamping hole 201, and the clamping hole 201 is used for clamping the outer peripheral wall of the tubular tableware 31.

[0043] Specifically, in the embodiment, the elastic clamping portion 20 is made of an elastic material, so that the clamping hole 201 has a certain elasticity and flexibility. The clamping hole 201 can exert a proper extrusion force on the outer peripheral wall of the tubular tableware 31, so as to ensure that the tubular tableware 31 is stably placed in the chopstick cage 1 and effectively avoids displacement caused by vibration or water flow impact. During the washing process, the tubular tableware 31 always maintains a position consistent with the direction of the water flow, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the water flow on the inside and outside thereof.

[0044] ​Further, the clamping force provided by the clamping hole 201 can firmly fix the tubular tableware 31 at any height, ensuring that the bottom of the tubular tableware 31 maintains a certain gap with the chopstick cage 1 in the clamped state. In this way, during the washing process, whether the water flow is from above or below the tubular tableware 31, it can smoothly flow through the inside of the tubular tableware 31, thereby significantly improving the cleaning effect of the tubular tableware 31.

[0045] Further specifically, in the embodiment, the inner diameter of the clamping hole 201 is smaller than the outer diameter of the tubular tableware 31, and the elastic clamping hole 201 can adapt to tubular tableware 31 of different diameters, thereby further improving the convenience and functionality of the chopstick cage assembly.

[0046] In the embodiment, the tubular tableware 31 is a straw. Of course, the clamping hole 201 can also clamp other types of tableware, such as a stirring rod, in order to meet the washing needs of different types of tableware.

[0047] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment, the elastic clamping portion 20 is provided with a groove 202, the groove 202 extends from the inner wall of the clamping hole 201 away from the axis of the clamping hole 201, and a plurality of grooves 202 are arranged at intervals around the circumference of the clamping hole 201. The uniformly distributed grooves 202 help to better distribute the extrusion force between the elastic clamping portion 20 and the tubular tableware 31, preventing material fatigue caused by excessive local pressure, thereby prolonging the service life of the chopstick cage assembly.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment, the groove 202 extends radially away from the axis of the clamping hole 201, and a plurality of grooves 202 are uniformly arranged along the inner wall of the clamping hole 201, the groove 202 has a slot opening towards the axis of the clamping hole 201. On the one hand, it effectively distributes the extrusion force between the elastic clamping portion 20 and the tubular tableware 31; not only can it avoid excessive extrusion force on the tubular tableware 31, but also can prevent fatigue or damage of the elastic clamping portion 20 caused by excessive local pressure, avoid the loss of elasticity of the clamping hole 201, and ensure the clamping force of the clamping hole 201 on the tubular tableware 31; on the other hand, the design of the groove 202 can reduce the area of the outer peripheral wall of the tubular tableware 31 covered by the clamping hole 201, increase the channel for air circulation and water flow, and improve the cleaning effect of the water flow on the tubular tableware 31 during washing.

[0049] In addition, the groove 202 provides more channels for air circulation, preventing a vacuum from forming due to compression when the tubular cutlery 31 is inserted into the clamping hole 201. This design effectively prevents excessive attraction between the outer peripheral wall of the tubular cutlery 31 and the inner peripheral wall of the clamping hole 201, significantly reducing the resistance when the tubular cutlery 31 is inserted into the clamping hole 201, allowing users to more easily place the tubular cutlery 31 into the chopstick holder 1 through the insertion clamping hole 201.

[0050] In some specific embodiments, at least two grooves 202 are arranged radially along the clamping hole 201 and are symmetrically distributed around the clamping hole 201.

[0051] In the above embodiments, the depth and width of the groove 202 can be adjusted according to the specific usage scenario. The size selection of the groove 202 and the clamping hole 201 takes into account the diameter and material of common tubular tableware 31, ensuring that tableware of different specifications can be effectively clamped and protected.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the chopstick holder 1 includes a first support portion 21 and a second support portion 22 connected to each other, and an elastic clamping portion 20 is at least partially clamped between the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22; the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 are respectively provided with a first hollow opening 211 and a second hollow opening 221, and the first hollow opening 211 and the second hollow opening 221 are both arranged around the clamping hole 201.

[0053] Specifically, in this embodiment, the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 are securely connected by snaps, bolts, or other suitable connection methods to form a stable support structure. This connection method not only provides reliable support and fixation for the elastic clamping portion 20, ensuring the overall stability of the chopsticks holder assembly, but also facilitates disassembly and assembly by the user as needed, making it convenient for cleaning, maintenance, and replacement of the elastic clamping portion 20. Of course, the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22 can also be connected by adhesive bonding, further simplifying the installation process.

[0054] More specifically, in this embodiment, the inner diameters of the first hollow opening 211 and the second hollow opening 221 are both larger than the outer diameter of the tubular tableware 31, that is, the inner diameters of the first hollow opening 211 and the second hollow opening 221 are both larger than the inner diameter of the clamping hole 201. This ensures that when the tubular tableware 31 is clamped by the elastic clamping part 20, it will not come into contact with the inner wall of the first hollow opening 211 or the second hollow opening 221 due to external forces such as vibration or water flow impact, thereby effectively avoiding the problem of unstable clamping caused by collision.

[0055] Preferably, in the embodiment, the inner diameter of the first hollow opening 211 and / or the second hollow opening 221 is slightly larger than the inner diameter of the clamping hole 201, and the shape of the first hollow opening 211 and / or the second hollow opening 221 matches the overall shape of the clamping hole 201 with the groove 202 circumferentially surrounding it, so that the first support part 21 and / or the second support part 22 can provide additional support to the area around the clamping hole 201, further enhancing the structural strength around the clamping hole 201.

[0056] As shown in the drawings, in the embodiment, the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 are arranged in sequence in the direction close to the inside of the chopstick cage 1. Figures 1 to 2

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the first support part 21 is the cover 12 of the chopstick cage 1, and the second support part 22 is arranged on the inner side of the cover 12 close to the inside of the chopstick cage 1. That is, the chopstick cage 1 includes a cage body 11 and a cover 12, the cover 12 is detachably mounted on the cage body 11 through a buckle and / or rotary locking mechanism, and the elastic clamping part 20 is clamped between the first support part 21 and the second support part 22. When the tubular tableware 31 is inserted into the clamping hole 201, the elastic clamping part 20 can uniformly disperse the clamping force through the cooperation of the first support part 21 and the second support part 22, avoiding damage or deformation caused by excessive concentration of clamping force, thereby further ensuring the stable clamping of the tubular tableware 31 and preventing the problem of unstable clamping during use.

[0058] In another specific embodiment, the second support part 22 is the cover 12, and the first support part 21 is arranged on the outer side of the cover 12.

[0059] Preferably, in the above specific embodiment, the cover 12 is rotatably mounted on the cage body 11 through a rotary locking mechanism, so that the cover 12 can be easily opened and closed, improving the operation convenience. The cover 12 is provided with a label 121, which is in a sheet structure, and the label 121 is printed or engraved with marks for prompting the user to identify and operate the clamping hole 201 and other parts quickly during use.

[0060] Further preferably, the label 121 is arranged on the side close to the elastic clamping part 20, which not only facilitates the user to view the marks, but also assists the user to grip to some extent, making it convenient to install and dismount the elastic clamping part 20. The marks on the label 121 at least include one, and the content can be text, graphics or symbols, which are used to clearly indicate the functional partition or use guide of the chopstick cage assembly, further improving the user experience.

[0061] ​In some possible embodiments, the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 can be arranged at different heights inside the chopstick cage 1, that is, the elastic clamping part 20 can be arranged at different heights inside the chopstick cage 1. Of course, the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 can be arranged at multiple heights along the height direction of the chopstick cage 1, so that the elastic clamping part 20 clamped between the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 clamps the tubular tableware 31 at different heights, further ensuring the stability of the tubular tableware 31 during washing.

[0062] As shown in Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the elastic clamping part 20 is provided with a plurality of clamping holes 201, and the first hollow opening 211 and the second hollow opening 221 are respectively provided with a plurality of clamping holes 201 corresponding to each clamping hole 201; or, at least two clamping holes 201 close to each other form a group, and the first hollow opening 211 is provided with a plurality of groups of clamping holes 201, and the second hollow opening 221 is provided with a plurality of groups of clamping holes 201.

[0063] In a specific embodiment, each first hollow opening 211 corresponds to one second hollow opening 221 and one clamping hole 201, ensuring that each clamping hole 201 is sufficiently supported.

[0064] In another specific embodiment, one first hollow opening 211 corresponds to a group of clamping holes 201. This design can provide more elastic space for the clamping holes 201, improve the adaptability of the clamping part to the tubular tableware 31, enhance the clamping stability, and reduce the material stress concentration of the elastic clamping part 20; at the same time, the second hollow opening 221 corresponds to each clamping hole 201 in the group of clamping holes 201 one by one, which can provide balanced support force for each group of clamping holes 201 while improving the elastic space of the clamping holes 201.

[0065] Preferably, as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 5 In this embodiment, the elastic clamping part 20 is provided with two groups of clamping holes 201, leaving more space for placement, fully meeting the placement needs of chopsticks 32, spoons 33 and other commonly used tableware.

[0066] Further preferably, in this embodiment, the inner side of the bottom of the chopstick cage 1 is provided with a partition plate 111 corresponding to the elastic clamping part 20, and the partition plate 111 divides the bottom of the chopstick cage 1 into a plurality of independent areas, and each area corresponds to one clamping hole 201. The design of the partition plate 111 can effectively prevent food residues or sundries in other areas from being washed by water flow to the area where the tubular tableware 31 is located, thereby preventing these residues from entering the inside of the tubular tableware 31 and affecting the cleaning effect of the water flow on the inside of the tubular tableware 31, ensuring the hygiene and efficiency of cleaning.

[0067] Specifically, in the preferred embodiment described above, the area partitioned by the bottom of the chopstick cage 1 is functionally divided according to the type and characteristics of tableware. The first area is used to accommodate chopsticks 32, spoons 33 and other tableware that only needs to be cleaned on the outer surface, ensuring that the chopsticks 32 and spoons 33 can be fully exposed to the water flow during the washing process, improving the cleaning efficiency, while avoiding collision with tableware in other areas, maintaining the cleanliness and stability of the tableware. The second area is used to accommodate tubular tableware 31, and the second area corresponds to the upper and lower elastic clamping portions 20, which can prevent food residues in the first area or other areas from being washed by the water flow into the area where the tubular tableware 31 is located, avoiding the residues entering the interior of the tubular tableware 31, and improving the washing efficiency.

[0068] As shown in Figures 2 to 3 In this embodiment, the adjacent clamping holes 201 in the same group are connected to each other, and the multiple second hollow openings 221 corresponding to the multiple clamping holes 201 in the same group are connected to each other.

[0069] Specifically, in this embodiment, the adjacent clamping holes 201 in the same group are connected through clamping communication openings, and the design of the clamping communication openings can further disperse the external force received by the elastic clamping portion 20, avoiding the elastic deformation of a single clamping hole 201 due to excessive force. At the same time, the presence of the clamping communication openings provides a channel for the flow of water and air during the washing process, not only further facilitating the smooth insertion of the tubular tableware 31 into the clamping hole 201, but also reducing the coverage area of the clamping hole 201 on the outer peripheral wall of the tubular tableware 31, thereby significantly improving the cleaning effect on the tubular tableware 31.

[0070] Further, multiple second hollow openings 221 corresponding to multiple clamping holes 201 in the same group are also provided with hollow communication openings; the hollow communication openings correspond to the clamping communication openings, and the width of the hollow communication openings is greater than the width of the clamping communication openings; specifically, the width direction of the hollow communication openings is perpendicular to the connecting line between the center points of the two second hollow openings 221.

[0071] In this embodiment, the elastic clamping portion 20 includes a main body portion 203 and a protruding portion 204, and the main body portion 203 is clamped between the first support portion 21 and the second support portion 22; at least part of the protruding portion 204 extends into the first hollow opening 211, and the outer peripheral wall of the protruding portion 204 is attached to the inner peripheral wall of the first hollow opening 211.

[0072] Specifically, in the embodiment, the inner circumferential wall of the first hollow opening 211 closely abuts the outer circumferential wall of the protruding part 204, and the protruding part 204 extends upward into the first hollow opening 211. This design can increase the contact area between the inner circumferential wall of the clamping hole 201 and the outer circumferential wall of the tubular tableware 31, thereby further enhancing the clamping force on the tubular tableware 31. In addition, the extension thickness of the clamping hole 201 in the axial direction is also increased, thereby improving the structural stability of the clamping hole 201. In addition, the close-fitting design between the inner circumferential wall of the first hollow opening 211 and the outer circumferential wall of the protruding part 204 effectively limits the displacement of the protruding part 204 in the horizontal direction, preventing the elastic clamping part 20 from deviating due to water flow impact or vibration during use, and ensuring that the tubular tableware 31 is always stably clamped by the elastic clamping part 20.

[0073] Preferably, as shown in the drawings, Figure 3 In the embodiment, the upper end surface of the protruding part 204 is inclined downward toward the center of the clamping hole 201 around the clamping hole 201, forming an inclined surface, and a small transition curved surface is provided at the connection between the inclined surface and the inner circumferential wall of the clamping hole 201. This can guide the tubular tableware 31 to be smoothly inserted into the clamping hole 201, while ensuring that the tableware can be firmly fixed after being inserted and is not easy to slide out.

[0074] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 4 In the embodiment, the first support part 21 is provided with a first accommodating groove 210, and the second support part 22 is provided with a second accommodating groove 220. The first accommodating groove 210 and the second accommodating groove 220 are mutually engaged and spliced to form a space for accommodating the main body part 203. In addition, the first support part 21 and / or the second support part 22 are provided with a positioning column 2111 corresponding to the main body part 203, and the main body part 203 is provided with a positioning hole 231 corresponding to the positioning column 2111. The positioning column 2111 is inserted into the positioning hole 231.

[0075] Specifically, in the embodiment, the shapes of the first accommodating groove 210 and the second accommodating groove 220 are matched with each other, and the two are spliced together by engagement to form a complete accommodating space. The spliced accommodating space can completely cover the main body part 203, thereby improving the matching degree between the first support part 21 and the second support part 22 and the elastic clamping part 20, and ensuring that the elastic clamping part 20 is stably clamped between the first support part 21 and the second support part 22.

[0076] Further specifically, in the embodiment, the first support part 21 and / or the second support part 22 is provided with a positioning column 2111 integrally formed, and the main body part 203 is uniformly provided with positioning holes 231 matched with the positioning column 2111, the shape and size of the positioning holes 231 are consistent with the positioning column 2111. By inserting the positioning column 2111 into the positioning hole 231, the accurate positioning of the main body part 203 can be realized, the offset of the elastic clamping part 20 during the installation process is avoided, and the accuracy and firmness of the installation are ensured.

[0077] In a more specific embodiment, the first support part 21 is provided with a downwardly extending positioning column 2111, and the second support part 22 is provided with an upwardly extending positioning column 2111. The main body part 203 is designed with positioning holes 231 corresponding to the positioning column 2111, which are uniformly arranged on the side of the main body part 203. Among the adjacent positioning holes 231, one is inserted with the upwardly extending positioning column 2111, and the other is inserted with the downwardly extending positioning column 2111. During the installation process, the elastic clamping part 20 can be first inserted and fixed with the positioning column 2111 on the second support part 22, and then the second support part 22 with the installed elastic clamping part 20 is butted with the first support part 21, so that the positioning column 2111 is further inserted with the corresponding positioning hole 231 on the first support part 21. In this way, not only the convenience of installation of the elastic clamping part 20 is significantly improved, but also the loosening or offset of the elastic clamping part 20 is ensured.

[0078] As shown in the drawings, Figures 2 to 4 In the embodiment, the first receiving groove 210 is provided with a clamping jaw 2101 extending outwards towards the second support part 22, the groove wall of the second receiving groove 220 is provided with a clamping groove 2201 corresponding to the clamping jaw 2101, the clamping jaw 2101 is clamped in the clamping groove 2201, and the main body part 203 is provided with a positioning groove 232 corresponding to the clamping jaw 2101, the positioning groove 232 is sleeved on the peripheral surface of the clamping jaw 2101.

[0079] Specifically, in the embodiment, the structure of the clamping groove 2201 provided on the groove wall of the second receiving groove 220 and the clamping jaw 2101 are matched with each other, which ensures that the clamping jaw 2101 can be accurately embedded in the clamping groove 2201, realizes stable clamping, and further enhances the overall stability of the chopstick cage assembly. Further, the clamping jaw 2101 is integrally formed with the first support part 21 by injection molding or other processing methods, which ensures the reliable connection between the first support part 21 and the second support part 22, and improves the overall durability.

[0080] Specifically, in the embodiment, the positioning groove 232 is arranged on the side of the main body 203, the opening of the positioning groove 232 faces away from the clamping hole 201, and the two sides of the positioning groove 232 along the direction perpendicular to the axis direction of the clamping hole 201 are open for the claw 2101 to extend into, so that the main body 203 can be further accurately positioned. At the same time, when the groove wall of the positioning groove 232 is in contact with the claw 2101, a certain extrusion force is generated, which increases the clamping force between the claw 2101 and the clamping groove 2201 in the horizontal direction, so that the cooperation between the claw 2101 and the clamping groove 2201 is more stable, and the stability of the structure is further improved.

[0081] In a preferred embodiment, the positioning groove 232 is open on the side close to the first supporting part 21, so that the claw 2101 extends into it; the groove wall of the positioning groove 232 on the side away from the first supporting part 21 is located below the clamping groove 2201 on the groove wall of the second accommodating groove 220, which can exert an upward extrusion force on the claw 2101 when the claw 2101 is clamped with the clamping groove 2201, thereby increasing the clamping force between the claw 2101 and the clamping groove 2201 in the vertical direction. In addition, it can also effectively buffer the shaking of the claw 2101 and the clamping groove 2201 caused by external force, improve the strength of their cooperation, and further enhance the structural strength and durability of the entire chopstick cage assembly.

[0082] As shown in Figure 6 In the embodiment, the chopstick cage assembly is installed on the shelf 4, the shelf 4 is installed in the dishwasher, and the dishwasher is provided with a slide rail or hook device for fixing the shelf 4, so that the shelf 4 can be stably embedded in the dishwasher and conveniently disassembled when needed. The dishwasher can clean the tableware on the shelf 4 through the built-in high-pressure water flow system and spraying device in multiple angles and all directions. The design of the elastic clamping part 20 of the chopstick cage assembly ensures that the tubular tableware 31 is stably fixed under the action of high-pressure water flow and does not shift due to impact or vibration, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect.

[0083] Specifically, in the embodiment, the user can adjust the installation position of the chopstick cage assembly according to the size of the tableware and the washing requirement. For example, the chopstick cage assembly can be installed on the side edge, corner or central position of the shelf 4, so as to be reasonably separated and placed with other types of tableware.

[0084] Preferably, in the embodiment, the shelf 4 is provided with handles 41, and the two handles 41 are oppositely arranged on the two sides of the shelf 4 or parts suitable for the user to grab. The arrangement of the handles 41 enables the user to more easily take out or push back the shelf 4 from the dishwasher, especially when heavy tableware or chopstick cage assemblies are placed on the shelf 4, which can effectively reduce the slipping or accidental collision caused by excessive force.
