Detailed Implementation

[0028] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a full understanding of this utility model. However, this utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0029] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on the other component or there may be an intermediate component. When a component is considered to be "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component present. The terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this specification are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0030] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0031] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can mean that the first feature is in direct contact with the second feature, or that the first feature and the second feature are in indirect contact through an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.

[0032] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used in this specification have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this specification belongs. The terminology used in this specification is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 2 This utility model provides a foldable cutting board 100, which includes a cutting board body 10 and flexible connectors 20 disposed on opposite sides of the cutting board body 10. The cutting board body 10 includes a first partition 11 and a second partition 12 that are independent of each other. The flexible connectors 20 are connected to the first partition 11 and the second partition 12 respectively, and the flexible connectors 20 can deform under the action of external force so that the first partition 11 can be unfolded or folded relative to the second partition 12. The first partition 11 can rotate relative to the second partition 12 within a range of at least 0°-180°.

[0034] It is understandable that the flexible connector 20 is set on the opposite sides of the cutting board body 10. The flexible connector 20 is located at the edge of the foldable cutting board 100, avoiding the middle area of ​​the foldable cutting board 100 which is used frequently. In this way, the damage to the flexible connector 20 during use can be reduced, the durability of the flexible connector 20 can be improved, the service life of the foldable cutting board 100 can be extended, and the foldable cutting board 100 can be made more durable.

[0035] In one embodiment, a through hole 13 is provided on the cutting board body 10. The through hole 13 is provided through the thickness direction of the cutting board body 10 and is located at the edge of the cutting board body 10, so that the user can hang the foldable cutting board 100 to dry.

[0036] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the through hole 13 is located at the edge of the corner of the cutting board body 10.

[0037] like Figure 1 As shown, further, the cutting board body 10 has multiple protrusions 14 formed on it. The protrusions 14 are circular and located near the through hole 13. This helps to increase friction when picking up the foldable cutting board 100, making it less likely for the user to slip when picking up the foldable cutting board 100.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in another embodiment, the through hole 13 is located at the edge of the width side of the cutting board body 10, making it convenient for the user to hold.

[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, a drainage groove 15 is provided on the cutting board body 10. The drainage groove 15 is strip-shaped, and drainage grooves 15 are arranged at the edges of the first partition 11 and the second partition 12 to reduce the situation where water flows onto the countertop when the product is used.

[0040] Not limited to this, in other embodiments, the drainage channel 15 may be arranged only on the first partition plate 11, or the drainage channel 15 may be arranged only on the second partition plate 12.

[0041] In this embodiment, there are two partition plates, with the first partition plate 11 and the second partition plate 12 being approximately rectangular. The first partition plate 11 and the second partition plate 12 can be set to the same shape or to different shapes.

[0042] Not limited to this, in other embodiments, the number of sub-boards can also be set to three or four, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0043] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the flexible connector 20 is strip-shaped and includes a deformable portion 22 and a connecting portion 21 that are connected to each other. The first partition plate 11 and the second partition plate 12 are respectively connected to the corresponding connecting portion 21. The deformable portion 22 is located at the adjacent edge of the first partition plate 11 and the second partition plate 12 so that the foldable cutting board 100 can be folded.

[0044] In this embodiment, the flexible connector 20 is made of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), which is an environmentally friendly and non-toxic material, ensuring the health and safety of users. Of course, in other embodiments, the flexible connector 20 can also be made of silicone or rubber.

[0045] In this embodiment, the flexible connector 20 is an integrally formed structure, and is injection molded onto the cutting board body 10, so that the flexible connector 20 is bonded and covered to the cutting board body 10. This facilitates processing and manufacturing. Each flexible connector 20 has one deformable part 22 and two connecting parts 21. It should be noted that when the number of boards is three or four, the number of deformable parts 22 is correspondingly determined.

[0046] Furthermore, along the thickness direction of the cutting board body 10, the thickness of the deformable part 22 is less than the thickness of the connecting part 21, making the flexible connector 20 thinner in the middle and thicker on both sides, resulting in a more uniform overall stress distribution, avoiding local stress concentration, thereby delaying material fatigue damage and extending the service life of the flexible connector 20.

[0047] In one embodiment, the flexible connector 20 extends along the length of the cutting board body 10 and is located only on the long side of the cutting board body 10. The length of the flexible connector 20 is less than the length of the cutting board body 10, which makes the overall length of the flexible connector 20 relatively short, which helps to save material costs.

[0048] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, in another embodiment, the connecting part 21 is formed with a bending structure 211, which is folded and covers the corner of the cutting board body 10. In this way, the overall length of the flexible connector 20 is longer, the connection area is larger, the connection is more stable, and the four corners of the foldable cutting board 100 are more flexible and less likely to injure the user.

[0049] In one embodiment, the edge of the first partition plate 11 protrudes and forms a first protrusion 111, and the edge of the second partition plate 12 protrudes and forms a second protrusion 121. A groove 212 is provided on the connecting portion 21. The first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 121 respectively match the corresponding groove 212. This increases the contact area between the flexible connector 20 and the cutting board body 10, improving connection stability. The deformable portion 22 is located between the first protrusion 111 and the second protrusion 121.

[0050] Of course, in other embodiments, a groove can be provided on the edge side of the cutting board body 10, and the connecting part 21 can be filled in the groove to achieve the connection between the first partition 11 and the second partition 12.

[0051] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0052] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the appended claims.
