Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen utensils technology, specifically to a bowl and plate clamp. Background Technology

[0002] In modern family life and the catering industry, kitchen utensils are used very frequently, and people's requirements for their functionality, safety, and convenience are also increasing. Bowls and plates, as common utensils for holding food, are frequently used in cooking, serving, and post-meal cleanup. In actual operation, it is common to take bowls and plates from high-temperature environments such as steamers, ovens, and stoves. Since bowls and plates may be very hot due to the hot food they contain, directly handling them by hand can easily cause burns. Therefore, bowl and plate clips have become an indispensable kitchen tool. The multifunctional bowl and plate safety clip described in patent announcement number CN220256352U works by inserting the edge of the bowl or plate into a latch, so that the inner and outer edges of the bowl or plate fit against the latch. When the auxiliary arm is pressed, the positioning block rotates to fit against the outer edge of the bowl or plate, allowing the latch and the bowl / plate wall to generate sufficient force to support the weight of the bowl or plate, thus securing it. However, the existing technology still has the following drawbacks:

[0003] 1. Existing technology has high assembly and maintenance costs, a complicated assembly process, and is prone to detachment during use, affecting normal use;

[0004] 2. Existing technology has a poor grip feel and requires users to exert force for a long time. It is easy for users to become fatigued and lose their grip, causing bowls and plates to fall and affecting the safety of operation.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the above-mentioned defects and provide a bowl and plate clamp.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is a bowl and plate clamp, comprising:

[0008] The two main bodies are in a "Y" shape, with the lower ends of opposite sides of the two main bodies tilted inward at a certain angle;

[0009] The two gripping parts are respectively fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two main bodies;

[0010] A pin is located between two opposing sides of the main body, and a punch with a diameter of 3.2 mm is provided at the rear end of the pin.

[0011] A torsion spring, which is used in conjunction with two gripping parts and is fitted onto the cylindrical surface of a pin.

[0012] As an improvement, a bent portion is fixedly connected to the lower end of the main body, the angle of inclination between the bent portion and the main body is 45°, and the length of the bent portion is 7mm.

[0013] As an improvement, the inner radius of the rounded corner at the connection between the bent part and the main body is 3mm, and the outer radius of the rounded corner is 4.2mm.

[0014] As an improvement, the front end diameter of the pin is 4mm, and the rear end diameter near the punch hole is 4.5mm.

[0015] As an improvement, the front and rear sides of the main body are fixedly connected with connecting seats for use with the pin shaft.

[0016] As an improvement, hanging holes are provided on the upper ends of opposite sides of both main bodies.

[0017] As an improvement, two anti-slip flanges are provided on the outer side of the grip.

[0018] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows: 1. By replacing the pin with a new pin and performing corresponding processing, the pin is fixed after assembly by punching and expanding the hole from a diameter of 3.2mm to 4.5mm, which can reliably prevent the pin from falling off during use. When the production batch reaches a considerable scale, it is possible to negotiate with the fastener manufacturer to have them process the parts, thereby reducing costs. At the same time, this design also facilitates product assembly and maintenance.

[0019] 2. This utility model increases the friction between the hand and the grip by providing two anti-slip flanges on the grip part, preventing the bowls and plates from falling off when the user is holding them. At the same time, the torsion spring will deform to provide the clamping force required for clamping. During use, the user only needs to lift the device after the main body comes into contact with the bowls and plates, reducing the force required for gripping and making it less tiring after long-term use.

[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0033] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "equipped with," and "connected," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "connected" can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0034] Example 1:

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment proposes a bowl and plate clamp, including: a main body 1, a gripping part 3, a pin 5, and a torsion spring 6. All components of the device are made of food-grade stainless steel with a thickness of 1.2mm, which has good corrosion resistance and strength, ensuring the health of the user and the service life of the bowl and plate clamp. The two main bodies 1 are in the shape of "Y", and the side walls of the main bodies 1 are provided with rectangular weight-reducing holes, which ensures the structural strength of the main bodies 1 while reducing the manufacturing cost and weight, making it convenient for users to pick up. The lower ends of the opposite sides of the two main bodies 1 are inclined inward at a certain angle to facilitate the device to get close to the edge of the bowl or plate to be clamped.

[0036] Two grips 3 are fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two main bodies 1 respectively. Two anti-slip flanges 301 are provided on the outer side of the grips 3. The anti-slip flanges 301 are made by stamping. The inner included angle of the anti-slip flanges 301 is 100° and the height is 1.2mm. The outer side of the anti-slip flanges 301 is provided with a rounded corner with a radius of 1.5mm to extend the service life of the stamping die. When the user holds it, the anti-slip flanges 301 can increase the friction between the hand and the grips 3, providing a comfortable and stable grip and preventing the device from slipping.

[0037] The pin 5 is located in the middle of the two main bodies 1 on opposite sides. The front and rear sides of the main body 1 are fixedly connected with connecting seats 4 that cooperate with the pin 5. The pin 5 is movably connected to the two connecting seats 4 through through holes with a diameter of 4mm. The rear end of the pin 5 has a punch hole 501 with a diameter of 3.2mm. By inserting the pin 5 into the through hole, the two main bodies 1 are connected together. Then, the diameter of the rear end of the pin 5 is enlarged to 4.5mm by punching and expanding the 3.2mm diameter hole at the rear end of the pin 5 to prevent the pin 5 from falling off during use and improve the stability of the device. The torsion spring 6 is sleeved on the cylindrical surface of the pin 5, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the two gripping parts 3 respectively. It can provide force to the two main bodies 1 through deformation, so that the bowl and plate clamp is kept closed when not in use. At the same time, it generates the clamping force required to clamp the bowl and plate through deformation during use, which facilitates the clamping operation.

[0038] Both main bodies 1 have hanging holes 7 on their upper ends on opposite sides. When not using dish clips, they can be hung on hooks or other locations in the kitchen through the hanging holes 7, saving space and making them easy to store.

[0039] Example 2:

[0040] The solution in Example 1 will be further described below with reference to its specific working method.

[0041] A bending part 2 is fixedly connected to the lower end. The bending part 2 is inclined at an angle of 45° to the main body 1 and has a length of 7mm. The inner radius of the rounded corner at the connection between the bending part 2 and the main body 1 is 3mm and the outer radius of the rounded corner is 4.2mm. This not only ensures the structural strength, but also improves the service life of the bending die during processing, optimizes the stress on the die, reduces die wear, lowers production costs, and improves production efficiency.

[0042] When in use, the user holds the grip part 3 and applies force with their hand to move the two main bodies 1 away from each other. The user then brings the device close to the bowl or plate to be clamped. Then, the user slightly loosens the grip part 3. During this process, the torsion spring 6 will deform and provide force, causing the two main bodies 1 to tend to move closer to each other. This causes the bent part 2 to clamp the edge of the bowl or plate, providing a stable clamping force for the bowl or plate. This makes it easier for the user to remove hot bowls or plates from cooking utensils such as steamers. After use, the user removes their hand, and the bowl and plate clamp returns to the closed state under the action of the torsion spring 6.

[0043] The present invention and its embodiments have been described above. This description is not restrictive, and the accompanying drawings are only one embodiment of the present invention; the actual structure is not limited thereto. In conclusion, if those skilled in the art are inspired by this description and design similar structures and embodiments without departing from the inventive spirit of the present invention, such designs should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
