[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. See also: Figure 1 —10: A chopsticks cage with automatic lifting function, comprising an outer shell 10 and a lifting inner liner 20, wherein the bottom of the inner liner 20 is provided with a drain hole 202, and the outer shell 10 can be configured as an upper shell 101 and a lower shell 102, wherein the upper shell 101 and the lower shell 102 are fixedly connected by a snap-fit ​​method. Since the chopsticks cage is relatively deep, this method can reduce the assembly difficulty of the inner liner 20 and the lower shell 102, and also reduce the overall production difficulty of the chopsticks cage. The inner liner 20 is provided with a telescopic device and a locking device. The telescopic device acts between the outer shell 10 and the inner liner 20. One end of the telescopic device is fixed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 10, and the other end is connected to the inner liner 20. The locking device locks the outer shell 10 and the inner liner 20 together. When the outer shell 10 and the inner liner 20 are locked, pressing the inner liner 20 will unlock the locking device after being squeezed, and the telescopic device will support the inner liner 20 to rise. Pressing the raised inner liner 20 again will lower the inner liner 20, and the locking device can lock the outer shell 10 and the inner liner 20 again.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown, the telescopic device includes a top rod 40 and a buffer damper 50. The buffer damper 50 is located inside the top rod 40. The buffer damper includes a bottom tube and a telescopic rod. The bottom of the bottom tube is screwed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the outer shell 10. The top of the telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the inner cavity of the top rod 40. When the inner liner 20 and the outer shell 10 are locked together, the telescopic rod is pressed into the bottom tube of the buffer damper 50. When the lock between the inner liner 20 and the outer shell 10 is released, the buffer damper 50 starts to work, lifting the inner liner 20 upwards and slowly releasing the supporting force, so that the inner liner 20 has a strong damping sensation when it rises, and the rising speed is uniform, so as not to impact the chopsticks or tableware and cause them to fly out of the chopstick holder. Figure 5 and 7As shown, the locking device includes a pin 203 and a latch 104. The pin 203 is located at the bottom of the inner liner 20, and the latch 104 is located in the inner cavity of the outer shell 10 and corresponds to the pin 203. The pin 203 descends into the latch 104, locking the two together. When the pin 203 is pressed again, i.e., the inner liner 20 is pressed, the pin 203 can disengage from the latch 104. In this field, the above-mentioned locking device is called a "door latch switch" or "press-lock." Its working principle is: by pressing the button, the hook or pin of the latch extends or retracts, thereby connecting or separating two objects. After being pressed, it can be held in a specific position, and pressing it again can quickly return it to the initial state, allowing for control of two different strokes.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown in Figure 9, a lid 30 is provided at the port of the outer shell 10. The lid 30 is hinged to the outer shell 10. To facilitate the opening of the lid 30, the push rod 40 extends upward. When the lid 30 is closed, the push rod 40 is in contact with the lid 30. The push rod 40 is located in the middle of the inner liner 20 and close to the front of the outer shell 10. The end face of the lid 30 is provided with a pressing mark 301, which corresponds to the position of the push rod 40 below. When chopsticks are needed, the pressing mark 301 can be pressed, and the lid 30 presses the push rod 40 downward. The push rod 40 is integrated with the inner liner 20, and the inner liner 20 begins to descend. The pin 203 at the bottom of the inner liner 20 separates from the buckle 104, and the locking between the inner liner 20 and the outer shell 10 is released. The buffer damper 50 slowly releases the supporting force, allowing the inner liner 20 to rise at a constant speed. During the rising process, the push rod 40 will push the lid 30 to open slowly.

[0028] In order for the lid 30 to be fully opened, as Figure 10 As shown, a baffle 201 is provided on one side of the top rod 40. The baffle 201 is perpendicular to the back of the outer shell 10 and close to the inner wall of the outer shell 10. When the inner liner 20 rises, the top rod 40 pushes the lid 30 to a half-open state. As the inner liner 20 continues to rise, the baffle 201 begins to act on the hinge of the lid 30, pushing the lid 30 to continue to flip outward, so that the lid 30 is fully opened. In addition, the baffle 201 is located in the middle of the inner liner 20 and can also play a certain role in dividing and supporting, so that chopsticks or other tableware will not tilt into the adjacent storage area.

[0029] To prevent excessive wear caused by the interaction between the push rod 40 and the lid 30, a ball 401 is provided at the top of the push rod 40. At the same time, when the ball 401 pushes the lid 30, it can ensure that the force surface or force point is uniform and consistent, and the overall force is uniform.

[0030] like Figure 7 and8 As shown, to prevent water accumulation inside the chopstick holder, a drainage hole 103 is provided at the bottom of the outer shell 10, and a pull-out water collection box 60 is also provided at the bottom of the outer shell 10. Meanwhile, to ensure the chopstick holder dries quickly and remains in a dry state, a vent hole 105 is provided on the lower side of the outer shell 10.

[0031] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes made to the structure, shape, and principle of the present utility model should be covered within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
