Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils, in particular to a chopstick box. BACKGROUND

[0002] The chopstick box is generally used in the kitchen utensils such as the disinfection cabinet or the dish washing machine, is mainly used for accomodating chopsticks, spoons and other tableware, and is convenient for cleaning or disinfection. The common chopstick box is a cuboid box structure with the top surface open and the rest five surfaces with holes, which has simple structure and low cost, but after the chopsticks are put into it, the chopsticks contact the bottom surface in a horizontal posture, the contact area is large, the remaining water is not easy to drain, and the drying effect of the chopsticks is poor, which is easy to mold.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with the publication number CN208550939U connects the supporting plate and the box body through rotation, so that the supporting plate can rotate up and down and present an inclined state, thereby facilitating the rapid draining of water stains on the chopsticks. At the same time, the supporting plate can have multiple inclined states through the setting of the elastic element to adapt to the placement of different numbers of chopsticks. When the number of chopsticks is small, the supporting plate is pressed down less, and the distance between the suspended end of the supporting plate and the top surface of the box body is closer, thereby facilitating the user to take the chopsticks. In addition, the chopstick box is also provided with a spoon shelf for accommodating spoons. The structure disclosed by CN208550939U can improve the draining effect of the chopstick box to a certain extent, but it has the following deficiencies: first, since a layer of supporting plate is added, when used in a dish washing machine or a disinfection cabinet with hot air drying, the cleaning water flow or the drying air flow needs to pass through the bottom plate and the supporting plate, which has large resistance and is not conducive to the cleaning and drying of the chopsticks; second, the supporting plate is only supported and limited by the rotation shaft and the spring at one end, and the other end is suspended, which is easy to shake during cleaning, produces additional noise, and the chopsticks may be thrown out of the chopstick box; finally, when the user has no spoon tableware, the spoon shelf still occupies the space in the box, which reduces the space utilization rate of the chopstick box. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present scheme is proposed. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS
