The outer side of the protrusion 16 has a first side, and the inner side of the groove 13 has a second side. The first side is attached to the second side, allowing the protrusion 16 to support the extensions 110, forming a rigid support. This improves the bending resistance of the panel 11, enhances the structural strength of the multi-functional panel 1, and prevents deformation or breakage due to long-term heavy use of kitchen utensils. Furthermore, the cooperation between the extensions 110 and the base 12 distributes the stress points, ensuring that the force on the multi-functional panel 1 is evenly transmitted to the base 12, improving overall stability. This allows for the storage of various kitchen utensils and provides versatility.

[0048] The base 12 extends outward to form a support 17. A groove 18 is formed between the support 17 and the protrusion 16. The extension 110 is disposed in the groove 18 and supported on the support 17, so that the force on the plate 11 is transmitted to the base 12 through the support 17, thereby improving the overall stability.

[0049] In this second embodiment, knives are primarily stored. The plate 11 has a through hole three 111, and the base 12 has a through hole four 113, with through holes three 111 and four 113 arranged vertically opposite each other. The wall of through hole three 111 extends downwards to form a connecting part 112. Through hole four 113 has a groove 114, which communicates with through hole four 113. The connecting part 112 is embedded in the groove 114, forming a limiting mechanism that increases structural stability. Furthermore, the cooperation between the connecting part 112 and the groove 114 further disperses the force on the plate 11, avoiding stress concentration problems caused by single-point support in traditional thin plates, making it suitable for storing heavier kitchen utensils. In this second embodiment, through holes three 111 and four 113 have the same shape, forming an integral mounting hole. The mounting holes have different sizes, allowing for the placement of knives of different sizes and providing a drainage effect for the knives.
