Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dish holder technology, specifically to a dish clip structure. Background Technology

[0002] Existing dish rack products have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Some adjustable clips are prone to loosening and cannot be disassembled, resulting in a short lifespan, inconvenience in cleaning, lack of locking indicator design, and poor locking experience. The structure of this type of clip is relatively complex, with complicated slots on both the top and bottom, which makes it easy for dirt to fall in and very difficult to clean.

[0004] 2. Some left-right rotating locking mechanisms are inconvenient to adjust and prone to loosening. With repeated use, they are likely to loosen and slip off on their own. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a dish clip structure to solve at least one of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A dish holder structure includes slots symmetrically arranged on both sides of a housing and a first and a second block arranged on both sides of a bracket. The outer side of the first block is an outer plane, and the outer side of the second block has a first outer side and a second outer side. The included angle between the first and second outer sides is an obtuse angle, and the first outer side is parallel to the outer plane.

[0008] The first and second locking blocks each have an upper surface, a locking protrusion, an inner slope, and an outer slope at their upper ends. The inner slope and outer slope are located inside and outside the locking protrusion, respectively. The upper surface extends to the upper surface of the locking protrusion. Above the slot, there is a screw through hole extending along the length of the slot. The screw through hole and the slot are connected by a lower opening. The inner side of the lower opening has a guide slope, and the outer side of the lower opening has a protrusion. There is a groove between the outer slope and the locking protrusion. The locking protrusion is inserted into the screw through hole from the lower opening. The outer end Q of the locking protrusion extends beyond the outer end P of the lower opening.

[0009] The lower ends of the first and second card blocks are respectively provided with a first plane and a second plane. The first plane is parallel to the upper plane. When the first plane contacts the lower end of the card slot, the locking protrusion is inclined downward from the upper plane. The outer inclined surface extends to the inclined side of the outer side and is parallel to the second plane. The outer inclined surface is located obliquely above the second plane. The distance A between the upper plane and the first plane is less than the height B of the card slot. The distance C between the upper end of the outer inclined surface and the second plane is equal to or greater than the height B of the card slot.

[0010] In this technical solution, during installation, with the bracket tilted, the first and second locking blocks are roughly aligned with their corresponding slots. The bracket is then rotated clockwise. The angles of the first and second outer sides are designed to facilitate the insertion of the locking blocks into the slots. The first outer side is parallel to the outer plane, allowing the tilted bracket to be rotated to a straight position, enabling the first and second locking blocks to quickly enter the slots. Because the first plane is parallel to the upper plane, and the distance A between the upper plane and the first plane is less than the height B of the slot, when the first plane contacts the lower end of the slot, the protrusion tilts downwards from the upper plane, allowing the first and second locking blocks to move flexibly within the slots, facilitating adjustment of the bracket's position. Due to the design of the protrusion, outer slope, first plane, and second plane, after the bracket is positioned correctly, it can be pried back. The first plane, initially in contact with the lower end of the slot, is pried until the second plane abuts against the lower end of the slot. Simultaneously, the locking protrusion engages with the screw through-hole from its lower opening. Furthermore, because the distance C between the upper end of the outer slope and the second plane is equal to or greater than the height B of the slot, the locking blocks are less prone to slipping after locking. This technical solution automatically locks the bracket by adjusting its position back and forth and then prying it back. If adjustment is needed, pry the bracket in the opposite direction to flexibly adjust its position. Then, rotate the bracket counterclockwise to remove the first and second locking blocks from the slot for easy cleaning. This technical solution cleverly utilizes the screw through-hole as a fixing groove for the locking protrusion. Furthermore, the inner side of the lower opening has a guide slope, which cooperates with the inner slope to assist in insertion. Because the outer side of the lower opening has a protrusion, and a groove exists between the outer slope and the locking protrusion, the locking protrusion engages with the screw through-hole from the lower opening. The outer end Q of the locking protrusion extends beyond the outer end P of the lower opening, allowing the locking protrusion to elastically deform and match the size of the screw through-hole during engagement. This deformation provides a clicking sound indicating that the protrusion has reached its proper position, reducing the risk of damage from excessive force and further preventing loosening. In summary, this technical solution combines the advantages of a left-right rotating engagement scheme and an easily adjustable clip, making installation and adjustment convenient and quick, less prone to damage, and easy to clean.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower end of the slot is flat. This simplifies the engagement structure, reduces dirt buildup, and makes cleaning easier.

[0012] Furthermore, to facilitate bending the bracket to a suitable tilt angle, there is an arc-shaped transition surface between the first plane and the second plane.

[0013] Furthermore, in order to achieve a better limiting effect, the lower end of the guide slope has a vertical extension that extends toward the inner groove of the first and second blocks.

[0014] Furthermore, to improve the smoothness of bracket adjustment, a smooth transition zone is provided between the upper plane and the outer slope.

[0015] Furthermore, in order to facilitate guiding the first card block into the corresponding card slot, the front end face of the first card block has a first chamfered bevel that slopes outward, and the front end face of the locking protrusion has a second chamfered bevel that slopes outward.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: During installation, with the bracket tilted, the first and second locking blocks are roughly aligned with their corresponding slots. The bracket is then rotated clockwise. The angles of the first and second outer sides facilitate the introduction of the locking blocks into the slots. The first outer side is parallel to the outer plane, allowing the tilted bracket to be rotated to a straight position, enabling the first and second locking blocks to quickly enter the slots. Because the first plane is parallel to the upper plane, and the distance A between the upper plane and the first plane is less than the height B of the slot, when the first plane contacts the lower end of the slot, the protrusion tilts downwards from the upper plane, allowing the first and second locking blocks to move flexibly within the slots, facilitating adjustment of the bracket's position. Due to the design of the protrusion, outer slope, first plane, and second plane, after the bracket is positioned correctly, it can be pried back. The first plane, initially in contact with the lower end of the slot, is pried until the second plane abuts against the lower end of the slot. Simultaneously, the locking protrusion engages with the screw through-hole from its lower opening. Furthermore, because the distance C between the upper end of the outer slope and the second plane is equal to or greater than the height B of the slot, the locking blocks are less prone to slipping after locking. This technical solution automatically locks the bracket by adjusting its position back and forth and then prying it back. If adjustment is needed, pry the bracket in the opposite direction to flexibly adjust its position. Then, rotate the bracket counterclockwise to remove the first and second locking blocks from the slot for easy cleaning. This technical solution cleverly utilizes the screw through-hole as a fixing groove for the locking protrusion. Furthermore, the inner side of the lower opening has a guide slope, which cooperates with the inner slope to assist in insertion. Because the outer side of the lower opening has a protrusion, and a groove exists between the outer slope and the locking protrusion, the locking protrusion engages with the screw through-hole from the lower opening. The outer end Q of the locking protrusion extends beyond the outer end P of the lower opening, allowing the locking protrusion to elastically deform and match the size of the screw through-hole during engagement. This deformation provides a clicking sound indicating that the locking mechanism is in place, reducing the risk of damage from excessive force and further preventing loosening. In summary, this technical solution combines the advantages of a left-right rotating engagement mechanism and an easily adjustable clip, making installation and adjustment convenient and quick, less prone to damage, and easy to clean.

[0037] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model or the prior art, the present utility model will be briefly introduced below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and descriptions of the embodiments or the prior art. Obviously, the following description of the structure of the accompanying drawings is only some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is used to help understand this utility model, but does not constitute a limitation on this utility model.

[0038] Example 1:

[0039] like Figures 1-19 As shown, this embodiment provides a dish clip structure, including slots 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the housing 1 and a first clip 4 and a second clip 5 arranged on both sides of the bracket 3. The outer side of the first clip 4 is an outer plane 6, and the outer side of the second clip 5 has a first outer side 7 and a second outer side 8. The included angle between the first outer side 7 and the second outer side 8 is an obtuse angle, and the first outer side 7 is parallel to the outer plane 6.

[0040] The upper ends of the first locking block 4 and the second locking block 5 each have an upper end plane 9, a locking protrusion 10, an inner inclined surface 11, and an outer inclined surface 12. The inner inclined surface 11 and the outer inclined surface 12 are located inside and outside the locking protrusion 10, respectively. The upper end plane 9 extends to the upper end surface of the locking protrusion 10. Above the slot 2, there is a screw through hole 13 extending along the length direction of the slot 2. The screw through hole 13 and the slot 2 are connected through a lower end opening 14. The inner side of the lower end opening 14 has a guide inclined surface 20, and the outer side of the lower end opening 14 has a protrusion 15. There is a groove 16 between the outer inclined surface 12 and the locking protrusion 10. The locking protrusion 10 is inserted into the screw through hole 13 from the lower end opening 14. The outer end Q of the locking protrusion 10 extends beyond the outer end P of the lower end opening 14.

[0041] The lower ends of the first locking block 4 and the second locking block 5 are respectively provided with a first plane 17 and a second plane 18. The first plane 17 is parallel to the upper plane 9. When the first plane 17 contacts the lower end of the slot 2, the locking protrusion 10 tilts downward from the upper plane 9. The outer inclined surface 12 extends to the inclined side of the outer side and is parallel to the second plane 18. The outer inclined surface 12 is located diagonally above the second plane 18. The distance A between the upper plane 9 and the first plane 17 is less than the height B of the slot 2. The distance C between the upper end of the outer inclined surface 12 and the second plane 18 is equal to or greater than the height B of the slot 2.

[0042] In this technical solution, during installation, bracket 3 is tilted, such as... Figure 1 In section 3A, the first locking block 4 and the second locking block 5 are roughly aligned with the corresponding slots 2. Then, the bracket 3 is rotated clockwise. The angles of the first outer surface 7 and the second outer surface 8 are designed to facilitate the introduction of the locking blocks into the slots 2. The first outer surface 7 is parallel to the outer plane 6, making it easy to rotate the tilted bracket 3 to a straight position, allowing the first locking block 4 and the second locking block 5 to quickly enter the slots 2. Figure 1 3B. Since the first plane 17 is parallel to the upper plane 9, and the distance A between the upper plane 9 and the first plane 17 is less than the height B of the slot 2, when the first plane 17 contacts the lower end of the slot 2, the protrusion tilts downward from the upper plane 9, so that the first block 4 and the second block 5 can move flexibly in the slot 2, which is convenient for adjusting the position of the bracket 3. Due to the arrangement of the protrusion, outer slope 12, first plane 17, and second plane 18, after the bracket 3 is positioned, it can be pried back, from contact between the first plane 17 and the lower end of the slot 2 to contact between the second plane 18 and the lower end of the slot 2. Simultaneously, the locking protrusion 10 engages with the screw through hole 13 from its lower opening 14. Furthermore, because the distance C between the upper end of the outer slope 12 and the second plane 18 is equal to or greater than the height B of the slot 2, the locking block is less prone to slippage after locking. This technical solution automatically completes the locking action by adjusting the bracket 3 back and forth to a suitable distance and then prying it back. Figure 13C. If adjustment is needed, bend the bracket 3 in the opposite direction to adjust its position. Then rotate the bracket 3 counterclockwise to remove the first locking block 4 and the second locking block 5 from the slot 2 for easy cleaning. This technical solution cleverly utilizes the screw through-hole 13 as a fixing groove for the locking protrusion 10. Additionally, the inner side of the lower opening 14 has a guide slope 20, which cooperates with the inner slope 11 to assist in insertion. Because the outer side of the lower opening 14 has a protrusion 15, and the outer slope 12 has a groove 16 between it and the locking protrusion 10, the locking protrusion 10 engages with the screw through-hole 13 from the lower opening 14. The outer end Q of the locking protrusion 10 extends beyond the outer end P of the lower opening 14, allowing the locking protrusion 10 to elastically deform and match the size of the screw through-hole 13 during engagement. This deformation provides a clicking sound indicating that the locking mechanism is in place, reducing the risk of damage from excessive force and further preventing loosening. In summary, this technical solution combines the advantages of a left-right rotation locking mechanism and an easily adjustable clamp, making installation and adjustment convenient and quick, less prone to damage, and easy to clean.

[0043] Example 2:

[0044] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0045] The lower end of slot 2 is flat 2.1. This simplifies the locking structure, reduces dirt buildup, and makes cleaning easier.

[0046] Example 3:

[0047] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0048] To facilitate bending the bracket 3 to a suitable tilt angle, there is an arc-shaped transition surface 19 between the first plane 17 and the second plane 18.

[0049] Example 4:

[0050] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0051] To achieve a better limiting effect, the lower end of the guide slope 20 has a vertical extension 24, which extends toward the inner groove of the first locking block 4 and the second locking block 5.

[0052] Example 5:

[0053] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0054] To improve the smoothness of adjusting the bracket 3, there is a smooth transition zone 21 between the upper plane 9 and the outer slope 12.

[0055] Example 6:

[0056] This embodiment is an optimization based on the above embodiment 1.

[0057] In order to facilitate the guidance of the first card block 4 into the corresponding card slot 2, the front end face of the first card block 4 has a first chamfered bevel 22 that is inclined outward, and the front end face of the locking protrusion 10 has a second chamfered bevel 23 that is inclined outward.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
