Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular to a double-layer rotating tray. Background Technology
[0002] As people's living standards improve, their needs for home storage are becoming increasingly diverse. Using storage tools effectively can gather scattered items and make efficient use of limited space. For example, in the kitchen, various seasonings and cooking utensils can be placed on storage trays to prevent items from scattering on the countertop, making the kitchen space neater and more organized. In the bathroom, toiletries and cosmetics can be stored in trays, making full use of corners or countertop space and improving space utilization.
[0003] Currently, to facilitate user access, rotating spice racks have appeared on the market for storing various seasonings commonly used in cooking. Related prior art, such as Chinese patent application "A Rotating Spice Rack," application number: CN202223121274.5, discloses a rack comprising a base, a column, a first spice tray, and a second spice tray. The lower end of the column is fixedly connected to the base. The first spice tray is rotatably mounted on the lower part of the column, and the second spice tray is rotatably mounted on the column above the first spice tray. Multiple support wheels are provided on the upper side of the base, and the first spice tray is positioned on the upper side of the support wheels. A second tray support structure is provided on the column, and the second spice tray is positioned on the upper side of the second tray support structure.
[0004] In different settings such as kitchens, bathrooms, and living rooms, people have higher requirements for the categorized storage and convenient access to items. However, most rotating spice racks on the market are currently fixed structures with relatively simple designs, mainly designed for storing kitchen spices. They cannot adapt to the diverse storage needs in different scenarios, thus limiting their wider application and promotion. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a double-layer rotating pallet, which further optimizes the structure of the pallet, has a variable structure, can effectively expand its application scenarios, and can better meet user needs.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is a double-layer rotating tray, including a main tray and a secondary tray. A turntable is provided below the main tray, and an inner retaining ring is provided in the middle of the main tray, which divides the main tray into an inner space and an outer space. The secondary tray is a cylindrical structure with a closed bottom and an open top. A ring-shaped support is provided at the bottom of the secondary tray, and the inner diameter of the secondary tray is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the inner retaining ring. The bottom surface of the secondary tray is supported on the inner retaining ring, and the support is placed against the inner wall of the inner retaining ring. When the secondary tray is flipped, the opening of the inner retaining ring is blocked to form a relatively closed inner space.
[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are as follows: First, the main tray has an inner retaining ring in the middle, separating the inner and outer spaces, which facilitates the classification and storage of items and makes the items more orderly. Second, the secondary tray of this application is designed to be movable, effectively improving the flexibility of storage. The secondary tray can be directly placed on the main tray, forming a storage space above it, where users can store items. In this case, the inner space is suitable for storing infrequently used items. When the storage space is sufficient, the secondary tray can be flipped over and placed over the inner retaining ring, thus eliminating the storage function of the secondary tray and allowing the inner space to form a more convenient enclosed space, expanding the application scenarios and making it widely applicable to kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, etc. Finally, this application achieves different storage modes through the simple combination of the main tray and the secondary tray, meeting diverse storage needs, without the need for complex structures, and is easy to manufacture and promote.
[0008] In some embodiments of this application, the main tray has a disc-shaped structure, with an outer retaining ring around its outer perimeter. Several baffles are regularly arranged between the inner and outer retaining rings, and these baffles are arranged radially along the main tray. The outer retaining ring and the inner retaining ring are radially separated by these regularly arranged baffles, forming multiple independent small spaces. This facilitates detailed classification and storage of items, making the items more orderly and easier to find and retrieve.
[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the inner retaining ring and the outer retaining ring are set at the same height, and the height of the baffle is less than the height of the outer retaining ring.
[0010] Preferably, the height of the baffle is about half that of the outer baffle ring. This height design ensures both the separation and support of items, without being too high to affect the placement and retrieval of items, and is also more visually harmonious.
[0011] In some embodiments of this application, the height of the sub-tray is less than or equal to the height difference between the inner retaining ring and the retaining plate.
[0012] This means that after the secondary tray is flipped over, it can be fitted over the inner retaining ring without being supported by the retaining plate. This ensures the stability of the secondary tray under different usage conditions and avoids wobbling or falling off due to improper height.
[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the outer diameter of the support leg is equal to the inner diameter of the inner retaining ring. When the sub-pallet is mounted on the inner retaining ring for use, the connection structure of the sub-pallet fits tightly, providing strong stability and preventing wobbling, thus ensuring reliability during use.
[0014] In some embodiments of this application, a countersunk hole is provided at the central axis of the main tray, and a snap-fit shaft is installed at the countersunk hole. The main tray is rotatably connected to the turntable via the snap-fit shaft. The rotatable connection between the main tray and the turntable is achieved by the snap-fit of the upper and lower clips. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, the connection is stable, and the stability of the tray during rotation is guaranteed.
[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the turntable includes an outer ring, an inner ring, and a connecting rod connecting the outer ring and the inner ring, wherein the inner ring is fixedly connected to a snap-fit shaft. This structural design is reasonable, the components are securely connected, it is easy to manufacture and assemble, and at the same time ensures the overall strength and stability of the turntable.
[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the outer ring has a U-shaped longitudinal cross-section, and a plurality of mounting seats are provided on the top surface of the outer ring. Ball bearings are installed at the mounting seats. Two limiting strips adapted to the outer ring are provided at the bottom of the main tray, located on the inner and outer sides of the outer ring respectively. The cooperation between the limiting strips and the outer ring achieves precise positioning, preventing excessive displacement or detachment of the main tray during rotation, thus ensuring safe use.
[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the snap-fit shaft includes an upper snap-fit and a lower snap-fit. The upper snap-fit acts on the top surface of the main tray, and the lower snap-fit acts on the bottom surface of the turntable. The snap-fit of the upper and lower snap-fits allows for a rotatable connection between the main tray and the turntable. The upper snap-fit acts on the top surface of the main tray, and the lower snap-fit acts on the bottom surface of the turntable. This snap-fit design cleverly utilizes the interaction between the upper and lower snap-fits, ensuring reliable connection while facilitating disassembly and maintenance.
[0018] In some embodiments of this application, the bottom of the outer ring is regularly arranged with a plurality of anti-slip pads; the outer circumferential surfaces of the sub-tray and the outer circumferential surfaces of the outer retaining ring are both textured. The regularly arranged anti-slip pads at the bottom of the outer ring effectively increase the friction between the pads and the contact surfaces, preventing the tray from sliding during use and improving stability and safety. The textured outer circumferential surfaces of the sub-tray and the outer retaining ring provide an aesthetically pleasing effect.
[0019] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0029] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.
[0030] Double-layer rotating tray, as in Example 1 Figures 1 to 5As shown: The device includes a main tray 1 and a secondary tray 2. A turntable 3 is located below the main tray 1, and an inner retaining ring 4 is located in the middle of the main tray 1, dividing the main tray 1 into an inner and outer space. This separation facilitates the categorization and storage of items, making the arrangement more organized. The secondary tray 2 is a cylindrical structure with a closed bottom and an open top. A ring-shaped support 7 is located at the bottom of the secondary tray 2. The inner diameter of the secondary tray 2 is greater than or equal to the outer diameter of the inner retaining ring 4. The secondary tray 2 is designed to be movable, effectively improving the flexibility of storage. When the bottom of the secondary tray 2 rests on the inner retaining ring 4, the support 7 rests against the inner wall of the inner retaining ring 4. When the secondary tray 2 is flipped, the opening of the inner retaining ring 4 is covered, creating a relatively closed inner space. The secondary tray 2 can be directly placed on the main tray 1, forming a storage space above it where users can store items. At this point, the inner space is suitable for storing infrequently used items. When the storage space is sufficient, the secondary tray 2 can be flipped over and placed over the inner retaining ring 4. In this case, the storage function of the secondary tray 2 is eliminated, and the inner space forms a more convenient enclosed space, expanding the usage scenarios and making it widely applicable in kitchens, bathrooms, living rooms, etc.
[0031] This application achieves different storage modes by using a simple main tray 1 and a secondary tray 2 to meet diverse storage needs. It does not require a complex structure and is easy to manufacture and promote.
[0032] Example 2, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the main tray 1 has a disc-shaped structure. An outer retaining ring 5 is arranged around the outer perimeter of the main tray 1. Several baffles 6 are regularly arranged between the inner retaining ring 4 and the outer retaining ring 5, and these baffles 6 are arranged radially along the main tray 1. The outer retaining ring 5 and the inner retaining ring 4 are radially separated by the regularly arranged baffles 6, forming multiple independent small spaces. This facilitates detailed classification and storage of items, making the items more orderly and easier to find and retrieve.
[0033] The inner retaining ring 4 and the outer retaining ring 5 are set at the same height, and the height of the baffle 6 is less than the height of the outer retaining ring 5. Preferably, the height of the baffle 6 is about half that of the outer retaining ring 5. This height design ensures both the separation and support of items, without being too high to affect the placement and retrieval of items, and is also more visually harmonious.
[0034] The height of the secondary tray 2 is less than or equal to the height difference between the inner retaining ring 4 and the baffle 6. This means that after the secondary tray 2 is flipped over, it can be fitted over the inner retaining ring 4 without being supported by the baffle 6. This ensures the stability of the secondary tray 2 under different usage conditions and avoids shaking or falling off due to improper height.
[0035] The outer diameter of the support leg 7 is equal to the inner diameter of the inner retaining ring 4. When the auxiliary tray 2 is mounted on the inner retaining ring 4 for use, the connection structure of the auxiliary tray 2 fits tightly, has strong stability, and will not wobble, ensuring reliability during use.
[0036] The rest of the contents of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.
[0037] Example 3, as Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a countersunk hole is provided at the central axis of the main tray 1, and a snap-fit shaft 8 is installed at the countersunk hole. The main tray 1 is rotatably connected to the turntable 3 through the snap-fit shaft 8. The rotatable connection between the main tray 1 and the turntable 3 is achieved by the snap-fit of the upper and lower clips. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, the connection is stable, and it can ensure the stability of the tray during rotation.
[0038] The turntable 3 includes an outer ring 9, an inner ring 10, and a connecting rod 11 connecting the outer ring 9 and the inner ring 10. The inner ring 10 is fixedly connected to the snap-fit shaft 8. This structural design is reasonable, the components are firmly connected, it is easy to produce and assemble, and at the same time, it ensures the overall strength and stability of the turntable 3.
[0039] The outer ring 9 has a U-shaped longitudinal cross-section. Several mounting seats 12 are provided on the top surface of the outer ring 9, and ball bearings 13 are installed at each mounting seat 12. Two limiting strips 14, adapted to the outer ring 9, are provided at the bottom of the main tray 1. The limiting strips 14 are located on the inner and outer sides of the outer ring 9, respectively. The precise positioning is achieved through the cooperation of the limiting strips 14 and the outer ring 9, preventing excessive displacement or detachment of the main tray 1 during rotation and ensuring safe use.
[0040] The snap-fit shaft 8 includes an upper snap-fit component and a lower snap-fit component. The upper snap-fit component acts on the top surface of the main tray 1, and the lower snap-fit component acts on the bottom surface of the turntable 3. The snap-fit of the upper and lower snap-fit components allows the main tray 1 and the turntable 3 to be rotatably connected. The upper snap-fit component of the snap-fit shaft 8 acts on the top surface of the main tray 1, and the lower snap-fit component acts on the bottom surface of the turntable 3. The snap-fit achieves a rotatable connection between the main tray 1 and the turntable 3. This design cleverly utilizes the interaction between the upper and lower snap-fit components to ensure the reliability of the connection, while also facilitating disassembly, assembly, and maintenance.
[0041] The bottom of the outer ring 9 is regularly arranged with several anti-slip pads 15; the outer circumferential surfaces of the sub-tray 2 and the outer circumferential surfaces of the outer retaining ring 5 are textured. The regularly arranged anti-slip pads 15 at the bottom of the outer ring 9 effectively increase the friction between the pads and the contact surfaces, preventing the tray from sliding during use and improving stability and safety. The textured outer circumferential surfaces of the sub-tray 2 and the outer retaining ring 5 provide an aesthetically pleasing effect.
[0042] The other contents of Example 3 are the same as those of Example 1 or Example 2.
[0043] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
