A cutting board foot pad mounting apparatus

Abstract

This utility model discloses a cutting board foot pad installation device. By placing an anti-slip part of the foot pad between a first clamp and a second clamp, the anti-slip part is clamped and fixed by the first and second clamps through the deformation of a torsion spring. Then, the driving component is adjusted to drive the clamping mechanism to move downward. When the clamping mechanism moves through the central hole of the installation hole, the distance between the first and second clamps decreases, and the first and second clamps squeeze the anti-slip part, allowing the clamping mechanism and the squeezed anti-slip part to pass smoothly through the central hole of the installation hole until the connecting part enters the central hole. At this time, the two anti-slip parts are respectively located in two grooves. By continuously adjusting the driving component to drive the clamping mechanism to move downward through the through hole, the clamping mechanism will disengage from the anti-slip part. In this way, the anti-slip foot pad is quickly installed without the need for manual insertion of foot pads one by one, which greatly reduces the labor intensity and improves the installation efficiency of the foot pad.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of cutting board foot pad installation equipment, and in particular to a cutting board foot pad installation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] A cutting board is an essential kitchen utensil in people's daily lives. Since its invention, it has served as a support surface to facilitate the cutting of food.

[0003] Cutting boards are typically made of wood or plastic. Since kitchen countertops are usually slippery and wet, cutting boards can easily slip off the countertop, causing damage and potentially injuring people's feet. Therefore, it is necessary to install anti-slip mats on cutting boards.

[0004] Currently, the anti-slip pads are usually inserted manually into the pre-drilled holes on the cutting board, which is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology, this utility model provides a cutting board foot pad installation device to solve the problem that manually inserting the anti-slip foot pad into the pre-drilled installation hole on the cutting board is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a cutting board foot pad installation device, wherein the foot pad is I-shaped, including a connecting part and anti-slip parts at both ends of the connecting part, the foot pad is made of a deformable soft material, and at least one I-shaped mounting hole is provided on the cutting board, the mounting hole including a central hole adapted to the size of the connecting part and a groove with a thickness less than that of the anti-slip part, comprising:

[0007] The workbench has through holes.

[0008] At least one clamping mechanism, each of the clamping mechanisms being used to clamp and fix an anti-slip part, the clamping mechanism including a first jaw, a second jaw and a torsion spring, the second jaw being rotatably connected to the first jaw via the torsion spring, and an opening of variable size being formed between the first jaw and the second jaw;

[0009] A driving component, which is used to drive the clamping mechanism to move;

[0010] During the process of the driving component driving the clamping mechanism to move through the mounting hole and the through hole, the clamping mechanism causes one anti-slip part to deform and move from one groove through the central hole into another groove.

[0011] Preferably, both the first and second grippers are convex in shape, including a gripping portion and a supporting portion, and both the gripping portions of the first and second grippers are provided with a blocking portion on the side directly opposite each other.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom of the blocking part is chamfered, and the two chamfers are in the shape of an "eight".

[0013] Preferably, the connection between the clamping portion and the support portion of the first and second grippers is provided with rounded corners.

[0014] Preferably, both the clamping part and the supporting part are arc-shaped, and the arc length of the clamping part is smaller than the arc length of the supporting part.

[0015] Preferably, a pressure rod is fixed to one end of the support portion of the second gripper.

[0016] Preferably, the cutting board has mounting holes at all four corners, there are two clamping mechanisms, and at least two positioning blocks are provided on the worktable. When the cutting board is on the worktable, the two positioning blocks abut against two adjacent sides of the cutting board respectively.

[0017] Preferably, the driving component is a cylinder, the output end of the cylinder is fixedly mounted with a support plate, and the bottom end of the first gripper is provided with a threaded post, which is screwed and fixed to the support plate.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects that this utility model can achieve are:

[0019] This invention places an anti-slip part of the foot pad between a first clamp and a second clamp. A torsion spring deforms, generating elastic force that clamps the anti-slip part. The drive mechanism is then adjusted to move the clamping mechanism downwards. As the clamping mechanism passes through the central hole of the mounting hole, the distance between the first and second clamps decreases, causing them to press against the anti-slip part. This allows the clamping mechanism and the pressed anti-slip part to pass smoothly through the central hole until the connecting part enters it. At this point, the two anti-slip parts are located in two grooves. Continuing to adjust the drive mechanism downwards through the through hole causes the clamping mechanism to disengage from the anti-slip part. This completes the rapid installation of the anti-slip foot pad, eliminating the need for manual insertion of each pad individually, significantly reducing labor intensity and improving installation efficiency.

[0025] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments. However, the following embodiments are only preferred embodiments of this utility model and not all of them. Other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments in the implementation methods without creative effort are all within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this utility model provides a cutting board foot pad installation device. The foot pad is I-shaped and includes a connecting part 52 and anti-slip parts 51 at both ends of the connecting part 52. The foot pad is made of a deformable soft material (which can be silicone). The cutting board 2 has at least one I-shaped mounting hole 21. The mounting hole 21 includes a central hole that matches the size of the connecting part 52 and a groove with a thickness less than that of the anti-slip parts 51. This ensures that when the foot pad is installed in the mounting hole 21, both anti-slip parts 51 can protrude from both sides of the cutting board 2, so that the cutting board 2 can play a good anti-slip role when placed on the stove. The device includes a worktable 1, at least one clamping mechanism 4, and a driving component 3.

[0027] The worktable 1 has a through hole 11 to facilitate the passage of the clamping mechanism 4;

[0028] Each clamping mechanism 4 is used to clamp and fix an anti-slip part 51. The clamping mechanism 4 includes a first jaw 41, a second jaw 42 and a torsion spring. The second jaw 42 is rotatably connected to the first jaw 41 through the torsion spring. An opening of variable size is formed between the first jaw 41 and the second jaw 42. The clamping mechanism 4 is located below the worktable 1.

[0029] Drive component 3 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 4 to move;

[0030] During the process of driving the clamping mechanism 4 through the mounting hole 21 and the through hole 11, the clamping mechanism 4 causes one anti-slip part 51 to deform and enter from one groove through the central hole into another groove.

[0031] In use, place the cutting board 2 on the workbench 1, aligning the through hole 11 with the mounting hole 21. Adjust the drive component 3 to move the clamping mechanism 4 upward, allowing it to pass through the through hole 11 and the mounting hole 21. Place one anti-slip part 51 of the foot pad between the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 (the foot pad is perpendicular to the first clamp 41). The deformation of the torsion spring generates elasticity, causing the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 to clamp and fix the anti-slip part 51. Then, adjust the drive component 3 to move the clamping mechanism 4 downward, allowing it to move sequentially through the mounting hole 21 and the through hole 11. Since the mounting hole 21 is I-shaped and the foot pad is made of a deformable soft material, when the clamping mechanism 4 moves through the central hole of the mounting hole 21, the first... As the distance between the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 decreases, the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 press against the anti-slip part 51, allowing the clamping mechanism 4 and the pressed anti-slip part 51 to pass smoothly through the central hole of the mounting hole 21 until the connecting part 52 enters the central hole. At this time, the two anti-slip parts 51 are located in the two grooves respectively. Then, the driving component 3 is continuously adjusted to drive the clamping mechanism 4 to move downward through the through hole 11. Since the foot pad is stuck in the mounting hole 21 (the other anti-slip part 51 does not undergo compression deformation and therefore will not pass through the central hole), the clamping mechanism 4 will disengage from the anti-slip part 51. In this way, the rapid installation of the anti-slip foot pad is completed, eliminating the need for manual insertion of foot pads one by one, greatly reducing the intensity of manual labor, and improving the installation efficiency of the foot pad.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, both the first gripper 41 and the second gripper 42 are convex in shape, including a gripping part and a supporting part. The gripping parts of the first gripper 41 and the second gripper 42 are provided with a blocking part 43 on the opposite side.

[0033] By setting the blocking part 43, after the foot pad is fixed between the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42, when the clamping mechanism 4 moves downward and moves through the mounting hole 21 and the through hole 11 in sequence, it can play a good blocking role for the foot pad, preventing the foot pad from falling off the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42, and ensuring the smooth and stable installation of the foot pad.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom of the blocking part 43 is chamfered (e.g., Figure 3 At point A in the middle, the two chamfers form a V-shape;

[0035] By setting such a chamfer, the blocking part 43 can effectively limit the foot pad, while the adjusting drive 3 drives the clamping mechanism 4 to move downward through the through hole 11. When the clamping mechanism 4 disengages from the anti-slip part 51, the foot pad disengages from the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 relatively smoothly. This prevents the foot pad from generating a large reverse force on the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42, which would break the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42, if too much driving force is required to pull the clamping mechanism 4 downward. At the same time, it avoids the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 scratching the foot pad.

[0036] like Figure 3 As shown, the connection between the clamping part and the support part of the first gripper 41 and the second gripper 42 is provided with rounded corners (e.g., Figure 3 (at point B in the middle);

[0037] Rounding the corners increases the connection strength at the joint between the clamping part and the support part, provides a smooth transition, and allows the force flow to be redistributed more smoothly and evenly, thereby effectively dispersing stress and significantly improving the load-bearing capacity, static strength and fatigue life of the clamping part. This effectively prevents the joint between the clamping part and the support part from breaking and extends the service life of the first jaw 41 and the second jaw 42.

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, both the clamping part and the supporting part are arc-shaped, and the arc length of the clamping part is smaller than the arc length of the supporting part.

[0039] By setting an arc-shaped clamping part, the contact area between the clamping part and the foot pad is larger when clamping and fixing the foot pad. This results in greater friction and a more secure and reliable clamping. The larger contact area corresponds to lower pressure, which avoids damage to the foot pad due to clamping and squeezing. The arc-shaped support part is adapted to the clamping part, and the arc length of the clamping part is smaller than the arc length of the support part, which facilitates the setting of the rounded corners between the two.

[0040] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a pressure rod 44 is fixed to one end of the support portion of the second gripper 42;

[0041] By setting up the pressure rod 44, when the adjusting drive 3 drives the clamping mechanism 4 to move upward, so that it passes through the through hole 11 and the mounting hole 21, the pressure rod 44 contacts the cutting board 2. The pressure rod 44 drives the second clamp 42 to rotate. At this time, the torsion spring deforms, making the opening between the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 larger, avoiding the trouble of people having to open the first clamp 41 and the second clamp 42 to place the foot pad, and facilitating the quick placement of the foot pad.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this example illustrates that the cutting board 2 has mounting holes 21 at all four corners and two clamping mechanisms 4. The workbench 1 is provided with at least two positioning blocks 6. When the cutting board 2 is located on the workbench 1, the two positioning blocks 6 abut against the two adjacent sides of the cutting board 2 respectively.

[0043] This allows for the installation of two foot pads at once, followed by rotating the cutting board 2 to install two more foot pads. The positioning block 6, when set in this way, enables the cutting board 2 to be quickly positioned, ensuring that the mounting holes 21 on the cutting board 2 that require foot pads are aligned with the through holes 11 each time it is placed.

[0044] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the driving component 3 is a cylinder, and the output end of the cylinder is fixedly mounted on the support plate 31. The bottom end of the first gripper 41 is provided with a threaded post, which is screwed and fixed to the support plate 31. This allows for quick disassembly and replacement of the clamping mechanism 4 when it is damaged during use.

[0045] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
