[0039] The names of the messages or information exchanged between multiple devices in the embodiments of this application are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to limit the scope of these messages or information.
[0040] Reference Figures 1-5 An adjustable-capacity ceramic plate includes a plate body 1, with two sets of receiving grooves 11 inside the plate body 1. The two sets of receiving grooves 11 extend to the outside of the plate body 1 respectively. Extension plates 2 are movably arranged at both ends of the receiving grooves 11. A receiving area is formed between the two sets of extension plates 2 and the plate body 1. The receiving area can be expanded or reduced by moving the extension plates 2 in the receiving grooves 11. The two sets of receiving grooves 11 are located on both sides of the plate body 1 and extend to the outside. The extension plates 2 at both ends can move independently or synchronously to form a bidirectional expansion structure. At the same time, the center of gravity is more stable during the expansion process, avoiding the risk of tilting caused by unilateral force.
[0041] A separating component 3 is movably mounted on the disc body 1. The separating component 3 includes a baffle 31, and a retaining seat 32 is provided on both sides of the baffle 31. The retaining seat 32 has a retaining groove 321. The two sets of retaining seats 32 are installed on the side of the disc body 1 through the cooperation of the retaining groove 321. When the bottom of the baffle 31 abuts against the disc body 1, the accommodating area forms a first accommodating area and a second accommodating area. By moving the retaining seat 32 relative to each other along the length of the disc body 1, the first accommodating area or the second accommodating area can be expanded or shrunk. The separating component 3 divides the accommodating area into an independent first accommodating area and a second accommodating area. By moving the retaining seat 32 to change the position of the baffle 31, the size ratio of the two accommodating areas can be adjusted as needed, thereby realizing personalized adjustment.
[0042] The plate body 1 has mounting holes 12 extending to the receiving groove 11 on both sides. Several mounting holes 12 are provided and distributed at intervals along the length of the plate body 1. The retaining seat 32 has limiting holes 322 extending into the retaining groove 321. When the mounting hole 12 and one set of limiting holes 322 are aligned, a plug 4 is connected to fix the partition component 3 on the plate body 1. The cooperation of multiple mounting holes 12 and limiting holes 322 can fix the partition component 3 in different positions on the plate body 1. Users can precisely adjust the size of the partition area according to their needs. After the plug 4 is fixed, it can prevent the baffle 31 from shaking or shifting during use, ensuring the reliability of partitioning. At the same time, the setting of the plug 4 can realize the installation and removal of the partition component 3 without tools, which makes it easy for users to quickly adjust the partition according to their dining needs, improving the convenience of use and cleaning efficiency.
[0043] Based on the above structure, by moving the two sets of extended trays 2 into the receiving slots 11 provided in the plate body 1, the extended trays 2 can be moved closer to or further away from the plate body 1, thereby adjusting the receiving area formed by the extended trays 2 and the plate body 1. This allows for adjustment of the receiving area according to actual needs. Furthermore, by installing the retaining seat 32 of the dividing component 3 on the side of the plate body 1, the bottom end face of the baffle 31 abuts against the plate body 1, thereby dividing the receiving area. The movement of the retaining seat 32 can adjust the divided area, thus achieving diversified storage needs and preventing food from mixing flavors or juices. Through the cooperation of the extended trays 2 and the dividing component 3, the size of the materials stored on the plate can be adjusted, and the plate can be divided, thereby meeting different needs and solving the problem that the existing plate size is fixed, which makes it impossible to meet diverse capacity requirements.
[0044] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 The extension tray 2 has through holes 21 on both sides. When the extension tray 2 moves in the receiving groove 11, the through holes 21 connect with one of the sets of mounting holes 12. A plug 4 is connected between the through holes 21 and the mounting holes 12. When the capacity of the plate needs to be adjusted, the extension tray 2 is pushed to move in the receiving groove 11, so that the through holes 21 on the extension tray 2 connect with one of the sets of mounting holes 12. At this time, the plug 4 is connected between the through holes 21 and the mounting holes 12. The plug 4 can be a bolt or a pin. By passing it through the through holes 21 and the mounting holes 12, the position of the extension tray 2 is fixed. The connecting function of the plug 4 ensures the stability of the extension tray 2 during use.
[0045] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4The bottom of the plate body 1 is provided with a base pad 5, which is made of rubber material to increase the friction between the plate body 1 and the table. The base pad 5 is provided with a groove 51, and the two ends of the groove 51 extend to the outside of the base pad 5. Several grooves 51 are provided and distributed at intervals along the length of the base pad 5. The presence of the grooves 51 can reduce the weight of the entire plate. Ceramic material itself has a certain weight. By providing grooves 51 in the base pad 5, the amount of material used in the base pad 5 is reduced, thereby reducing the overall weight of the plate.
[0046] Several contact pads 52 are provided on the side of the base 5 facing the table. The contact pads 52 are made of rubber and are located between the two sets of slots 51. The main function of the contact pads 52 is to enhance the friction between the plate and the table, so as to play an anti-slip role. When the plate is placed on the table, the contact pads 52 are in direct contact with the table, which can effectively prevent the plate from shifting and avoid food spillage and damage to the plate.
[0047] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 The bottom pad 5 is also provided with a connecting groove 53 on the side facing the table. Several connecting grooves 53 are provided and are distributed alternately with the contact pad 52 on the bottom pad 5. The alternate distribution can avoid mutual limitation.
[0048] The connecting groove 53 is movably fitted with an adsorption component 6, which includes a suction cup 61 made of silicone material with a certain degree of deformation and extensibility. A retaining pin 62 is located at the top of the suction cup 61. By embedding the retaining pin 62 into the connecting groove 53, the suction cup 61 is mounted on the base pad 5, with its adsorption end facing the tabletop. The suction cup 61 utilizes atmospheric pressure to generate adsorption force, firmly fixing the plate to the tabletop. This is especially suitable for smooth tabletop materials such as glass and ceramic. When the plate needs to be fixed to the tabletop, simply press the suction cup 61 to expel the air, allowing it to adhere to the tabletop and effectively preventing the plate from sliding. The design of the retaining pin 62 and the connecting groove 53 makes the installation and removal of the adsorption component 6 more convenient. Users can choose whether to install the adsorption component 6 according to their actual needs. When the adsorption function is not needed, the suction cup 61 can be removed without affecting the normal use of the plate.
[0049] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 2 and Figure 3A sealing element 7 is provided at the connection between the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 and the extension plate 2. The sealing element 7 is made of rubber. The main function of the sealing element 7 is to prevent liquids such as food juices and soups from seeping into the connection between the receiving groove 11 and the extension plate 2. The rubber sealing element 7 has good elasticity and sealing performance, and can fit tightly against the inner wall of the receiving groove 11 and the surface of the extension plate 2 to prevent liquid penetration. At the same time, the sealing element 7 can also play a certain role in buffering and shock absorption. When the extension plate 2 moves in the receiving groove 11, the sealing element 7 can reduce the friction between the two, making the movement process smoother, reducing noise, and ensuring the long-term stability of the sealing effect.
[0050] In one embodiment, reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 6 The extension tray 2 is provided with a handle 22 on the side away from the plate body 1. The handle 22 is mainly designed to facilitate the operation of the extension tray 2. When the plate capacity needs to be adjusted, the user can push or pull the extension tray 2 by holding the handle 22, so that the extension tray 2 can move within the receiving groove 11. The operation is more effortless and convenient, and it can also play a role in heat insulation when holding the plate.

They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.
[0052] Those skilled in the art should understand that the above embodiments are merely for illustrative purposes and are not intended to limit the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can make other changes or modifications based on the above disclosure, and these changes or modifications still fall within the scope of this application.
