Exemplary subranges of the range 1 to 10 include, but are not limited to, 1 to 6.1, 3.5 to 7.8, 5.5 to 10, etc.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 This application provides a chopstick holder, including a chopstick holder body 101. Specifically, the chopstick holder body 101 is the core structure of the chopstick holder, used to support and fix chopsticks. It can be made of food-grade stainless steel, aluminum alloy, or high-strength plastic to ensure structural stability and durability, while meeting food contact safety standards. The chopstick holder body 101 can be customized according to the internal space of the sterilizer. Common shapes include cuboids, cylinders, or fan shapes to adapt to different sterilizer designs.

[0037] Multiple placement sections 102 are distributed on the outer wall of the chopstick holder body 101. These sections 102 are used to accommodate chopsticks. Specifically, the placement sections 102 can be evenly distributed along the outer wall of the chopstick holder body 101, forming a multi-layered or multi-row structure to improve space utilization. Each placement section 102 can be designed as a groove, a hole, or a hook, with the specific shape determined according to the size of the chopsticks and the placement method. For example, a groove-shaped placement section is suitable for laying chopsticks flat, while a hook-shaped placement section is suitable for hanging chopsticks. When the shape of the placement section 102 is groove-shaped, the dimensions (such as width and depth) of the placement section 102 should be designed according to the size of the chopsticks to ensure that the chopsticks can be stably placed within it. Furthermore, the spacing between the placement sections 102 should be appropriate to facilitate air circulation. To improve ventilation efficiency, ventilation gaps can be designed between the placement sections 102 to ensure free airflow and reduce dead corners during the drying and sterilization process.

[0038] A chopstick clip 104 is provided on the placement part 102 to hold chopsticks. Specifically, the chopstick clip 104 can fix the chopsticks by means of elastic clamping, magnetic fixation, or mechanical buckle, and can be adjusted according to the thickness of the chopsticks to accommodate different sizes. The chopstick clip 104 is usually made of materials with good elasticity and resilience, such as spring steel, elastic plastic, or silicone rubber. These materials can undergo elastic deformation when an external force is applied and return to their original shape after the force is released. When chopsticks are placed in the placement part 102, the clamping parts (such as spring clips or elastic grooves) are subjected to external force and produce elastic deformation, thereby clamping the chopsticks; when it is necessary to remove the chopsticks, external force can be applied manually or mechanically to further increase the elastic deformation of the clamping parts, thereby releasing the chopsticks. Through the above-mentioned elastic clamping principle, the chopstick clip 104 can achieve a stable clamping of chopsticks, while having good adaptability and ease of operation, making it suitable for chopstick sterilization equipment in home and commercial kitchens.

[0039] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1The chopstick holder body 101 has fixed shafts 103 at both ends for supporting and fixing it. Specifically, the fixed shafts 103 are key supporting components of the chopstick holder body 101, and their main function is to fix the chopstick holder body 101 to the dish rack or other supporting structure of the sterilizer, ensuring the stability and reliability of the chopstick holder during use. The fixed shafts 103 are usually designed as cylindrical or rectangular, and the specific shape can be optimized according to installation requirements and space layout. The diameter or cross-sectional area of ​​the fixed shafts 103 should be optimized according to the weight of the chopstick holder body 101 and the usage scenario to ensure that it can withstand the weight of the chopsticks and the external impact during daily use. The fixed shafts 103 are usually made of high-strength metal materials (such as stainless steel or aluminum alloy) or engineering plastics to ensure sufficient strength and durability. Stainless steel has good corrosion resistance and hygiene, making it particularly suitable for kitchen environments. In addition, the fixed shafts 103 can be designed as rotating shafts, allowing the chopstick holder body 101 to rotate around the shaft, making it convenient for users to adjust the placement direction or angle of the chopsticks as needed. The fixed shaft 103 can also be designed as a multi-segment telescopic shaft, allowing for adjustment of the shaft length to accommodate sterilizers of different heights or depths, thus improving the versatility and flexibility of the chopstick holder and making it suitable for various sterilization devices. To prevent the chopstick holder body 101 from sliding or shifting during use, the surface of the fixed shaft 103 can be designed with anti-slip textures or coatings. For example, a rubber coating or raised textures can be used to increase the friction between the fixed shaft and the support structure.

[0040] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The chopstick rest body 101 is cylindrical in shape, and the placement portions 102 are evenly distributed along the axial direction of the chopstick rest body 101. Specifically, the placement portions 102 are arranged through the chopstick rest body 101 from one end to the other. Multiple chopsticks can be placed in each placement portion 102. Preferably, two chopstick clips 104 are provided in each placement portion 102, so that two chopsticks can be placed in one placement portion 102. This maximizes the use of the internal space of the chopstick rest body 101, thereby accommodating more chopsticks in a limited space.

[0041] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1The chopstick rest body 101 has baffles 105 at both ends, with the diameter of the baffles 105 being larger than the diameter of the chopstick rest body 101. Preferably, the baffles 105 are designed to be circular, matching the cylindrical shape of the chopstick rest body 101 and ensuring overall design harmony and aesthetics. The circular baffles 105 can evenly cover both ends of the chopstick rest body 101, providing comprehensive protection. The diameter of the baffles 105 is slightly larger than the diameter of the chopstick rest body 101, ensuring that the baffles 105 can completely cover both ends of the chopstick rest body 101, effectively preventing chopsticks from slipping out from both ends. The baffles 105 are usually made of the same material as the chopstick rest body 101, such as stainless steel, plastic, or aluminum alloy, to maintain the consistency and durability of the overall design. The material selection also needs to consider its corrosion resistance and ease of cleaning to adapt to the kitchen environment. In addition, the baffles 105 can be fixed to both ends of the chopstick rest body 101 by welding, screw fixing, or clips. For detachable designs, the baffle 105 may be fixed by magnetic attraction or pins, making it easy for users to clean or replace. This application, through the design of the baffle 105, forms physical barriers at both axial ends of the chopstick holder body 101, effectively limiting the axial displacement of the chopsticks. This ensures that the chopsticks are placed and fixed only radially within the placement part 102, thereby preventing the chopsticks from accidentally sliding out from both ends of the chopstick holder body 101 due to unexpected external forces or vibrations, thus improving the stability and safety of the chopstick holder during use.

[0042] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The chopstick clip 104 includes two opposing arc-shaped clamping blocks, forming a clamping space between them for holding chopsticks. Specifically, the chopstick clip 104 consists of two opposing arc-shaped clamping blocks, which form a clamping space in the middle, specifically designed to accommodate and hold chopsticks. The inner surface of the arc-shaped clamping blocks is designed to match the shape of the outer surface of the chopsticks, ensuring even force distribution during clamping and reducing damage to the chopsticks. Furthermore, the arc-shaped clamping blocks can be made of materials with good elasticity and durability, such as spring steel, stainless steel, or high-performance plastics.

[0043] The inner surface of the arc-shaped clamp is curved to fit the outer surface of the chopsticks. Specifically, the curvature design of the arc-shaped clamp needs to match the diameter of common chopsticks to ensure stability and adaptability during clamping. The radius of curvature can also be adjusted according to the standard size of chopsticks to accommodate chopsticks of different diameters. The arc-shaped clamp ensures a more stable and reliable grip, firmly holding the chopsticks while allowing the chopsticks to rotate or slide to a certain extent within the clamping space to meet usage needs.

[0044] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1The baffle 105 has multiple ventilation holes. Specifically, the design of the baffle 105 incorporates multiple ventilation holes to enhance air circulation within the chopstick holder, thereby improving drying efficiency and sterilization effectiveness. The design of the ventilation holes needs to consider their size, shape, and distribution to ensure free airflow within the chopstick holder without compromising the structural strength and overall aesthetics of the baffle. The ventilation holes can be designed as circular, elliptical, or any other shape to suit the overall design style and coordinate with other parts of the chopstick holder. The size of the holes should be moderate, ensuring airflow without allowing dust or foreign objects to enter the chopstick holder. The distribution of the ventilation holes should be uniform to ensure free airflow throughout the chopstick holder, achieving a uniform drying and sterilization effect.

[0045] Please see Figures 2 to 4 This application embodiment also provides a bowl rack, which is disposed in a disinfection cabinet 302. The bowl rack includes a bowl rack body 201 and a support part 202. The support part 202 is disposed above the bowl rack body 201 and is used to support the aforementioned chopsticks rack. Specifically, the bowl rack body 201 is the main structure of the bowl rack, used to place and support tableware such as bowls and plates. The bowl rack body 201 may have multiple layers or compartments to accommodate bowls and plates of different sizes and shapes. Simultaneously, the bowl rack can be designed as a multi-functional structure, capable of accommodating other tableware such as plates and cups in addition to bowls, plates, and chopsticks. Furthermore, by placing the support part 202 above the bowl rack body 201 to support the chopsticks rack, the chopsticks rack is ensured to be stably placed in the disinfection cabinet; at the same time, it provides ample space for bowls, plates, and chopsticks, further saving space and increasing the capacity of the disinfection cabinet 302. In addition, it allows the chopsticks to be closer to the infrared heating tube, which can be directly aimed at the chopsticks, allowing heat energy to be directly radiated to the surface of the chopsticks, improving drying efficiency without the need for a circulating fan.

[0046] For some specific implementation methods, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The support unit 202 includes two opposing support frames. Each support frame has a groove 2021 on the side facing away from the bowl rack body 201, which supports the chopsticks rack. Specifically, the support unit 202 consists of two opposing support frames arranged in parallel to provide stable support for the chopsticks rack. Simultaneously, the support frames need sufficient structural strength to withstand the weight of the chopsticks rack, ensuring the safety of the tableware inside the sterilizer. Furthermore, each support frame has a groove 2021 on the side facing away from the bowl rack body 201. The shape and size of the groove are designed to match the fixing axis 103 of the chopsticks rack, ensuring that the chopsticks rack can be securely placed in the groove 2021. By providing the groove 2021, the installation process of the chopsticks rack is simplified; users can easily place the chopsticks rack in the groove 2021 without complicated installation steps.
