Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, and in particular to a drain rack and bowl basket assembly for kitchenware. Background Technology

[0002] After washing, tableware, including bowls, plates, chopsticks, and spoons, should be air-dried to prevent moisture from causing bacteria growth and ensuring more hygienic use. Bowls, plates, and other tableware have concave areas that hold food, making it difficult for water droplets to dry. However, when tableware is stood upright, the water droplets will quickly fall off the surface due to its own weight.

[0003] To keep kitchen utensils upright, drain racks are commonly used. These racks have multiple slots; the edges of the utensils are placed in the recesses of these slots, with the two upright sides of each slot located opposite the edges of the utensils. When the utensils tend to tip over, the side of the slot facing the direction of the tipping applies a supporting force to the edge, preventing the utensils from tipping over and keeping them upright, thus accelerating the draining process.

[0004] The shortcomings of existing drain racks include: chopsticks need to be laid flat on the drain rack, or a bunch of chopsticks are crowded in the chopstick holder, which is not conducive to water dripping off the chopsticks, and the draining and drying speed is slow; spoons can also only be laid flat on the drain rack, the draining speed is slow, especially the concave part of the spoon is not easy to dry, resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to propose a drain rack and bowl basket assembly for kitchen utensils, which solves the problem of slow draining speed of chopsticks and spoons in existing drain racks, and provides a better user experience.

[0032] This embodiment discloses a dish rack assembly for accelerating the draining of washed tableware and kitchenware, as well as for daily storage of tableware and kitchenware. It can prevent water from accumulating on the surface of tableware and kitchenware for a long time, thus preventing the growth of bacteria, and can also prevent dust from falling on tableware and kitchenware, making it safer and more hygienic to use.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the dish rack assembly also includes an openable upper cover 3 and a lower box 4. The lower box 4 is a box-shaped structure with an open top, in which the main body 1 can be placed. The upper cover 3 is fastened to the top opening of the lower box 4. The structure formed by the upper cover 3 and the lower box 4 encloses the main body 1, preventing dust and other impurities from contaminating the tableware. To prevent water droplets from accumulating in the lower box 4, multiple through holes are provided on the bottom surface of the lower box 4. Water droplets dripping from the tableware can pass through these holes to reach the outside of the lower box 4, ensuring that the structure formed by the upper cover 3 and the lower box 4 remains sufficiently dry.

[0034] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the kitchen utensil drainer includes a main body 1, which includes a chopstick draining component and / or a spoon draining component. The chopstick draining component allows the chopsticks 2 to be drained to be tilted relative to the horizontal plane. Water on the chopsticks 2 can quickly slide off under their own weight, increasing the drying speed. Water does not easily accumulate on the chopsticks 2, keeping them dry and clean, contributing to a healthy kitchen, improving the user's quality of life, and providing a good user experience. Furthermore, the chopstick draining component has a certain extension length on the horizontal plane, allowing space for at least two chopsticks 2 to be laid out flat, resulting in fast draining speed. This solves the problem in existing technologies where multiple chopsticks are crowded together, leading to slow draining. The spoon drainer allows the spoons 5 (or ladles) to be drained to be in a vertical position and spaced apart. Water on the spoons 5 can drip off more quickly under their own weight, resulting in better drying. The spoons 5 can stay dry and clean, which helps to create a healthy kitchen and improve the user's quality of life.

[0035] The specific structure of the chopsticks draining assembly is not limited, as long as it allows the chopsticks 2 to be drained to be tilted relative to the horizontal plane and has enough space to allow the chopsticks 2 to be laid out. In this embodiment, the chopsticks draining assembly includes a baffle 12 and a support member 13, with the support member 13 being higher than the position on the baffle 12 that contacts the chopsticks 2. During draining, one end of the chopsticks 2 abuts against the baffle 12, and the baffle 12 supports the chopsticks 2 from both the bottom and side surfaces; the support member 13 supports the middle or the other end of the chopsticks 2, thereby making the chopsticks 2 tilted relative to the horizontal plane and accelerating the draining speed.

[0036] When the chopstick 2 is supported by the support member 13 in the middle or at the top, the bottom end of the chopstick 2 in the tilted state tends to slide, and the sliding tendency includes two tendencies: sliding vertically downward and sliding along the horizontal plane in a direction away from the support member 13.

[0037] To prevent these two sliding tendencies of the bottom end of the chopsticks 2, in this embodiment, the baffle 12 includes a bottom baffle 121 and a side baffle 122. The bottom baffle 121 and the side baffle 122 form an L-shaped structure, blocking the sliding tendency of the bottom end of the chopsticks 2 from below and the side, respectively. The bottom baffle 121 and the side baffle 122 can be connected into a whole structure, or a small gap can be left between the bottom baffle 121 and the side baffle 122, as long as the bottom end of the chopsticks 2 does not insert into or pass through the bottom baffle 121 and the side baffle 122.

[0038] The specific shapes of the bottom baffle 121 and the side baffle 122 are not limited. In this embodiment, the bottom baffle 121 and the side baffle 122 have a certain extension length in the extension direction of the support member 13, so that at least two chopsticks 2 can be laid out flat in sequence, which has a good effect of draining and drying.

[0039] In order to prevent water from dripping from the chopsticks 2 from accumulating on the baffle 12, in this embodiment, the bottom baffle 121 and / or the side baffle 122 are provided with drainage holes 123, so that water can flow out through the drainage holes 123, ensuring that the baffle 12 is always dry and preventing the ends of the chopsticks 2 from getting moldy or growing bacteria due to prolonged exposure to water.

[0040] The specific shape, number, and arrangement of the drainage holes 123 on the bottom baffle 121 and / or the side baffle 122 are not limited. In this embodiment, multiple circular drainage holes 123 are evenly arrayed, which is convenient for processing, has a good drainage effect, and is aesthetically pleasing. It can prevent water from accumulating in local areas due to the absence of drainage holes 123.

[0041] The specific location of the support member 13 is not limited, as long as it allows the chopsticks 2 to be tilted. In this embodiment, the main body 1 of the rack includes a tableware and kitchenware placement area A and a tableware and kitchenware placement area B arranged in parallel. The support member 13 is located between the two tableware and kitchenware placement areas, and the extension direction of the support member 13 is the same as the extension direction of the tableware and kitchenware placement areas A and B.

[0042] That is, the chopsticks drain assembly is located above either the tableware placement area A or the tableware placement area B, and the chopsticks drain assembly and the tableware placement area overlap to a certain extent in vertical space. The support 13 does not affect the normal use of the tableware placement area. When there are no chopsticks 2 that need to be drained, the tableware placement area located below the chopsticks drain assembly can be used to place tableware, making better use of the space on the drain rack and more convenient to use.

[0043] The specific shape of the support member 13 is not limited, as long as it can support multiple chopsticks 2 laid out. In this embodiment, the support member 13 is columnar, which is easy to process and lightweight; the two ends of the support member 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the opposite side walls of the frame body 1, which can increase the strength of the frame body 1 while supporting the chopsticks 2, making the drain rack more sturdy and durable, and extending the service life of the drain rack.

[0044] The specific structure of the spoon draining assembly is not limited, as long as it allows the spoons 5 to be drained to be in a vertical position and separated from each other. In this embodiment, the spoon draining assembly includes a first crossbar 141, a second crossbar 142, and at least two connecting rods 15, with both ends of each connecting rod 15 fixedly connected to the first crossbar 141 and the second crossbar 142, respectively.

[0045] A through hole is formed between two adjacent connecting rods 15. The handle of the spoon 5 is inserted into the through hole, and the wider head of the spoon 5 is stuck above the through hole, ensuring that the spoon 5 can be in a vertical position. The water on the spoon 5 can be quickly removed from the spoon 5 under its own weight, and the spoon 5 dries faster.

[0046] Ideally, one spoon 5 should be placed in one through hole, ensuring that the spoons 5 do not stick together, which facilitates rapid drainage. Two or more spoons 5 can also be placed in one through hole, provided that adjacent spoons 5 do not touch each other, without affecting the drainage speed.

[0047] The spacing between two adjacent connecting rods 15 can be the same, which is convenient for processing; the spacing between two adjacent connecting rods 15 can also be different, which is used to place spoons of different sizes, with a wide range of applications and a good user experience.

[0048] The specific structure of the first crossbar 141 and the second crossbar 142 is not limited, as long as they can form a through hole together with the connecting rod 15. In this embodiment, the first crossbar 141 is a rod that makes up the frame body 1, that is, a suitable rod is selected from the existing frame body 1 as the first crossbar 141; the second crossbar 142 is located inside the frame body 1, and does not occupy the space between the outer wall of the frame body 1 and the inner wall of the lower box 4, which allows the size of the frame body 1 to be increased as much as possible, makes full use of the space inside the lower box 4, and allows more kitchen utensils to drain at the same time, resulting in a better user experience.

[0049] Since different types of tableware and kitchen utensils need to be drained each time, chopsticks 2 and spoons 5 do not always need to be placed on the rack body 1. To avoid wasting space, in this embodiment, the bottom of the rack body 1 is provided with tableware and kitchen utensil slots 11, and the chopstick draining components and / or spoon draining components are located above the tableware and kitchen utensil slots 11. When chopsticks 2 and / or spoons 5 need to be placed, other types of tableware and kitchen utensils such as bowls, plates, and dishes are not placed in the corresponding positions at the bottom, or smaller tableware and kitchen utensils are placed there without affecting the placement of chopsticks 2 and / or spoons 5; when chopsticks 2 and / or spoons 5 do not need to be placed, all the tableware and kitchen utensil slots 11 in the rack body 1 can hold various tableware and kitchen utensils, making it more convenient to use and providing a better user experience.
