Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of baking utensils, specifically a baking rack device. Background Technology

[0002] Making cakes and bread requires large equipment such as ovens, egg beaters, dough mixers, proofing boxes, shelves, and freezers, as well as electronic scales, measuring cups, work clothes, workbenches, and various molds. Baking racks are also an indispensable component.

[0003] However, traditional oven racks have fixed heights and few layers (usually only 1-2 layers), making them unable to flexibly adapt to molds of different heights, resulting in wasted space. Some commercially available oven racks are designed for specific models, with non-adjustable clamping widths, making them unsuitable for different brands of ovens. Furthermore, some adjustable height and size modular oven racks are difficult to disassemble. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a baking rack device to solve the problems of baking racks being unable to adjust height and having poor adaptability and stability.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a baking rack device, characterized in that it comprises a shelf, a lifting device, and a clamping mechanism. The shelf is square and has a stamped grid connected to its inner side. A square tube is provided at the bottom corner of the shelf. The square tube is hollow and has a solid thin rod nested inside. The thin rod passes through the shelf and has multiple locking holes arranged in an array on it. A circular hole corresponding to the position of the thin rod is provided at the corner of the shelf. The locking holes and the circular holes have the same shape and size. The lifting device engages with the locking holes and the circular holes. A groove is provided inside the shelf, and a push-pull plate is provided in the groove. The clamping mechanism is located in the groove and abuts against the push-pull plate.

[0006] Optionally, the lifting device comprises a housing, a pin, a first connecting rod, a truncated cylinder, and a second connecting rod. The pin is inserted into a circular hole at the top of the first connecting rod, and the truncated cylinder is inserted into a circular hole at the bottom of the first connecting rod. A first spring is provided on the first connecting rod, and the bottom of the first spring abuts against the housing. A locking plate is provided on the pin, and the locking plate is frustum-shaped. A second spring is connected to the locking plate and the first connecting rod. A notch is provided at the top of the second connecting rod, and the notch engages with the locking plate. A slanted opening is provided inside the second connecting rod, and the slanted surface of the truncated cylinder abuts against the slanted opening. The second connecting rod is connected to the housing through a third spring.

[0007] Optionally, the clamping mechanism consists of a cross-axis helical gear set, a housing, a rotating shaft, and a push rod. One gear of the cross-axis helical gear set is connected to the housing via the rotating shaft, and the other gear is connected to the push rod. The push rod passes through the housing and abuts against the push-pull plate.

[0008] Optionally, a rotary button is provided on the surface of the shelf at the center of the groove, and the rotary button is connected to the rotating shaft.

[0009] Optionally, the shelf is provided with silicone pull rods, and the corresponding grooves are symmetrically arranged left and right according to the position of the silicone pull rods. The push-pull plate is provided with silicone support strips.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0011] In this invention, if the user wants to adjust the height of the baking rack, first pull out the pin partially so that the locking plate locks the notch of the second connecting rod. At this time, the pin is pulled out from the locking hole and the circular hole, and the lifting device enters the storage state. After adjusting the shelf or thin rod up or down, the user can press the first thin rod, causing the inclined cylinder to move along with it. This causes the inclined surface on the inclined cylinder to press the inclined opening on the second connecting rod, causing the second connecting rod to move downward. At this time, the locking plate is released, and due to the spring compression, the pin pops out and is inserted back into the locking hole and the circular hole to complete the fixation. This lifting device enables the baking rack to quickly adjust its height. Compared with the traditional single locking rod, this device makes the baking rack more stable and more convenient.

[0012] In this invention, when the device does not match the width of the oven, the user can turn the rotary button to drive the rotating shaft and the cross shaft helical gear set to rotate. At this time, the push rod will move forward or backward according to the direction of rotation, driving the push-pull plate to increase the width of the shelf. The silicone support strip on the push-pull plate can increase the friction with the inner wall of the oven or the internal guide rail. The clamping mechanism can make the baking rack more stable in the oven and make the mold on the baking rack less likely to fall off.

[0013] This utility model features a middle shelf that is only snapped together with the thin rod and the push-pull plate. Multiple shelves can be set up. Compared to an integrated oven rack that is difficult to disassemble, accumulates oil stains in dead corners, and breeds bacteria with long-term use, this device includes a lifting device that can be disassembled and installed with just one pull and press. Pulling the lifting device releases the fixed state, and after the shelf is lifted and removed, the push-pull plate, square tube and thin rod can be removed one by one, making it more convenient for users to disassemble and clean.

[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model provides a baking rack device, characterized in that it comprises a shelf 1, a lifting device 2, and a clamping mechanism 3. The shelf 1 is square in shape and has a stamped grid 4 connected to its inner side. A square tube 5 is provided at the bottom corner of the shelf 1. The square tube 5 is hollow and has a solid thin rod 6 nested inside it. The thin rod 6 passes through the shelf 1 and has multiple locking holes 7 arranged in an array on it. The shelf 1 has a circular hole 8 at its corner that corresponds to the position of the thin rod 6. The locking holes 7 and the circular holes 8 have the same shape and size. The lifting device 2 engages with the locking holes 7 and the circular holes 8. The shelf 1 has a groove 9 inside and a push-pull plate 10 inside the groove 9. The clamping mechanism 3 is located inside the groove 9 and abuts against the push-pull plate 10.

[0024] The middle shelf 1 of this utility model is only snapped together with the thin rod 6 and the push-pull plate 10. Multiple shelves 1 can be set. Compared with the integrated oven rack, which is difficult to disassemble and has dead corners where oil stains accumulate and bacteria grow after long-term use, this device contains a lifting device 2 that can be disassembled and installed with only one pull and press. Pulling the lifting device 2 releases the fixed state, and after the shelf 1 is lifted and taken off, the push-pull plate 10, square tube 5 and thin rod 6 can be removed one by one, which makes it more convenient for users to disassemble and clean.

[0025] The lifting device 2 consists of a housing 11, a pin 12, a first connecting rod 13, a truncated cylinder 14, and a second connecting rod 15. The pin 12 is inserted into a circular hole at the top of the first connecting rod 13, and the truncated cylinder 14 is inserted into a circular hole at the bottom of the first connecting rod 13. A first spring 16 is provided on the first connecting rod 13, and the bottom of the first spring 16 abuts against the housing 11. A locking plate 17 is provided on the pin 12. The locking plate 17 is frustum-shaped, and a second spring 18 is connected to the locking plate 17 and the first connecting rod 13. A notch is provided at the top of the second connecting rod 15, and the notch engages with the locking plate 17. A slanted opening 19 is provided inside the second connecting rod, and the slanted surface of the truncated cylinder 14 abuts against the slanted opening 19. The second connecting rod 15 is connected to the housing 11 through a third spring 20.

[0026] In this invention, if the user wants to adjust the height of the baking rack, first pull out the pin 12 partially, so that the locking plate 17 locks the notch of the second connecting rod 13. At this time, the pin 12 is pulled out from the locking hole 7 and the circular hole 8, and the lifting device 2 enters the storage state. After adjusting the shelf 1 or the thin rod 6 up or down, the user can press the first thin rod 13, so that the oblique cylinder 14 moves along with it. This causes the oblique surface on the oblique cylinder 14 to press the oblique opening 19 on the second connecting rod 13, causing the second connecting rod 13 to move downward. At this time, the locking plate 17 is released, and due to the spring compression, the pin 12 pops out and is inserted into the locking hole 7 and the circular hole 8 again to complete the fixation. This lifting device 2 enables the baking rack to quickly adjust its height. Compared with the traditional single pin, this device makes the baking rack more stable and more convenient.

[0027] The clamping mechanism 3 consists of a cross-axis helical gear set 21, a housing 22, a rotating shaft 23, and a push rod 24. One gear of the cross-axis helical gear set 21 is connected to the housing 22 through the rotating shaft 23, and the other gear is connected to the push rod 24. The push rod 24 passes through the housing 22 and abuts against the push-pull plate 10.

[0028] In this invention, when the device does not match the width of the oven, the user can turn the rotary button 25 to drive the rotating shaft 23 and the cross shaft helical gear set 21 to rotate. At this time, the push rod 24 will move forward or backward according to the direction of rotation, driving the push-pull plate 10 to increase the width of the shelf 1. The silicone support strip 27 on the push-pull plate 10 can increase the friction with the inner wall of the oven or the internal guide rail. The clamping mechanism 3 can make the baking rack more stable in the oven and make the mold on the baking rack less likely to fall off.

[0029] A rotary button 25 is provided on the surface of the shelf 1 at the center of the groove 9, and the rotary button 25 is connected to the rotating shaft 23.

[0030] The shelf 1 is provided with a silicone pull rod 26, and the corresponding groove 9 is symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides according to the position of the silicone pull rod 26. The push-pull plate 10 is provided with a silicone support strip 27.

[0031] The working principle and usage process of this utility model: If the user wants to adjust the height of the baking rack, first pull out the pin 12 partly, so that the locking plate 17 locks the notch of the second connecting rod 13. At this time, the pin 12 is pulled out from the locking hole 7 and the circular hole 8, and the lifting device 2 enters the storage state. After adjusting the shelf 1 or the thin rod 6 up or down, the user can press the first thin rod 13, so that the oblique cylinder 14 moves along with it. This causes the oblique surface on the oblique cylinder 14 to press the oblique opening 19 on the second connecting rod 13, causing the second connecting rod 13 to move downward. At this time, the locking plate 17 is released, and due to the spring compression, the pin 12 is ejected and re-inserted into the locking hole 7 and the circular hole 8. The circular hole 8 completes the fixation. This lifting device 2 enables the baking rack to quickly adjust its height. Compared with the traditional single rod, this device makes the baking rack more stable and convenient. When the device does not match the width of the oven, the user can turn the rotary button 25 to drive the rotating shaft 23 and the cross shaft helical gear set 21 to rotate. At this time, the push rod 24 moves forward or backward according to the direction of rotation, driving the push-pull plate 10 to raise the width of the shelf 1. The silicone support strip 27 on the push-pull plate 10 can increase the friction with the inner wall of the oven or the internal guide rail. The clamping mechanism 3 can make the baking rack more stable in the oven and prevent the mold on the baking rack from falling off.
