Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware and cooking utensils, specifically a multifunctional bowl clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese people enjoy steaming dishes and often use dish tongs to remove bowls from steamers. These tongs, made of plastic or metal, help users retrieve hot dishes from steamers and other cooking vessels, and also help place food or other items into tall pots without directly contacting their skin and risking burns. They are also more hygienic than alternatives like gloves. Currently, there are many types of dish tongs on the market, including two- or three-pronged structures and hinged structures. However, in practical use, the following technical shortcomings still exist:

[0003] Poor gripping stability and easy slippage, especially the two-claw structure, which has insufficient friction on the gripping surface. It is easy to slip when gripping smooth or heavy bowls and plates, causing the bowls and plates to fall off. Poor load-bearing capacity, as it basically relies on a single rod or plate with a not very sturdy structure to bear the weight. It is easy to be damaged as a whole, causing food to spill or containers to break, posing a safety hazard.

[0004] Without a locking mechanism, the wrist must remain in a clamping position for a long time, which is not labor-saving, and it is impossible to estimate or directly perceive whether the locking state of the clamp and bowl is maximized through visual perception.

[0005] Limited functionality and market reach: Existing dish clips only have the function of picking up dishes, and the lack of additional uses limits their application scenarios. In particular, the lack of integration with steamers, fryers, etc., reduces the product's market competitiveness and the scope of user needs.

[0006] Cleaning and maintenance are inconvenient. Some dish clips have complex structures with gaps or movable parts that cannot be disassembled, making it easy for food residue or grease to remain and difficult to clean thoroughly. Long-term use may breed bacteria and affect dining hygiene.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a dish clamp that is stable, adaptable, multifunctional, and easy to clean, in order to overcome the technical deficiencies of existing products. Utility Model Content

[0008] This utility model provides a multifunctional bowl clamp that overcomes the shortcomings of existing technology. It features a lifting shaft structure that can be locked in position, allowing it to freely clamp and lock itself to fix tableware and maintain its structural state. The suspension structure increases its functional application range, and it can be easily disassembled for self-cleaning. The combination of the locking structure, screw structure, and lifting plate structure greatly improves the load-bearing capacity.

[0009] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: a multifunctional bowl clamp, comprising an upper support, a lower support, and bowl claws;

[0010] The upper support includes a sleeve plate and an upper claw frame. A shaft tube is provided in the center of the sleeve plate, and the upper claw frame is connected to both sides of the sleeve plate. The upper claw frame is provided with an outer rotating shaft.

[0011] The lower support includes a rail plate and a shaft, with the shaft located in the center of the rail plate and a sliding groove at the bottom of the rail plate;

[0012] The cup claw is equipped with an opening and closing linkage. The head end of the opening and closing linkage is connected to slide in the slide groove, and the tail end of the opening and closing linkage is rotatably connected to the outer rotating shaft of the upper claw frame.

[0013] The track plate slides up and down within the sleeve, and the shaft moves up and down within the shaft tube. The sleeve is equipped with an anti-falling locking ring at the top of the shaft tube, and the anti-falling locking ring is connected to the shaft.

[0014] With this structure, the anti-fall locking ring can lock the position of the shaft tube after the lifting action is completed. When the anti-fall locking ring is placed at the top of the shaft tube, it is connected to the shaft rod extending out of the shaft tube. The anti-fall locking ring limits the height of the shaft rod's lifting and lowering and locks the opening size of the cup claw. After bearing the weight of the cup, the downward force brought by the overall weight of the cup is transmitted to the upper claw frame of the upper support, the rail plate of the lower support, and then to the shaft rod via the rail plate, and finally to the anti-fall locking ring. When the anti-fall locking ring falls, it is placed at the top of the shaft tube to bear the force. This changes the original structure where only the cup claw or the lower support bears the force of the cup to the structure where all components bear the force, greatly improving the load-bearing capacity. This makes the inventiveness and novelty of this utility model superior to the prior art.

[0015] Preferably, a neck sleeve is provided at the top of the shaft tube, and the descent of the anti-fall locking ring is limited by the neck sleeve. The neck sleeve allows the adjustable cup claw to have an adjustable maximum opening size when the anti-fall locking ring falls, and after locking, the load is not borne by the sliding structure locked to the shaft by the anti-fall locking ring alone, but by both the anti-fall locking ring and the entire support on the neck sleeve.

[0016] Preferably, the sleeve plate is provided with an upper sliding cavity, the inner wall of the upper sliding cavity is provided with a guide bar, and the surface of the shaft tube is provided with a positioning groove. The rail plate is inserted into the upper sliding cavity, the shaft is inserted into the shaft tube, and the guide bar slides into the positioning groove. In addition to the original limitation of the rail plate's movement by the edge of the upper sliding cavity, the guide bar and positioning groove in the middle can also be used for movement limitation, ensuring that the lower support can be raised and lowered without the sliding structure in the groove becoming misaligned and stuck.

[0017] Preferably, the shaft includes a slide tube integrally formed with the rail plate and a threaded tube at the top of the slide tube. The surface of the threaded tube is provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the anti-fall locking ring is provided with internal threads. The anti-fall locking ring will be threadedly connected to the external threads and positioned in the required position.

[0018] Preferably, the top of the spiral tube is also provided with a hanging ring, and the spiral tube is connected to the hanging ring after a connecting anti-fall locking ring is set at its top. This configuration can provide a suspension structure, allowing the food container to be suspended and steamed by the suspension rack of the steamer, and it can also be suspended on the kitchen wall.

[0019] Preferably, the bowl claw includes a main claw rod, an opening and closing connecting rod, and a claw body. The opening and closing connecting rod is obliquely arranged at the top of the main claw rod, and the claw body is arranged inwardly at the bottom of the main claw rod. The main claw rod, the opening and closing connecting rod, and the claw body form a U-shape. This arrangement is more stable than a triangular bowl claw, can adapt to more bowl shapes, and can support the bottom of the bowl.

[0020] Preferably, the claw body includes a frame claw, spring claws, and a connecting rod. The connecting rod is provided on the back of the frame claw and is connected to the claw body. Several spring claws are provided below the frame claw. The connecting rod changes from a single connection to a multiple connection. The frame claw has a large coverage area, which can accommodate larger bowls and plates, and the drooping frame claw can grab bowls.

[0021] Preferably, the frame claw is square or trapezoidal, with several step blocks on both sides and anti-slip pads on the top and bottom. A through hole for the rim of a bowl is cut out in the center of the frame claw. Both the step blocks and the anti-slip pads provide anti-slip properties, and the rim of a bowl can be directly inserted into the through hole for fixation.

[0022] Preferably, the center of the sleeve plate is completely hollowed out with a handle frame. The presence of the handle frame allows the user to directly move the slide tube up and down or lock its current position by gripping the hollowed-out holes on the rail plate with two fingers through the handle frame.

[0023] This utility model has the following advantages: it overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art, and has a lifting shaft structure that can be locked in a state. The locked state is visible, and it can freely grab and lock itself to fix the tableware and maintain its structural state.

[0024] The anti-fall locking ring can lock the position of the shaft tube and the opening size of the cup claw after the lifting action is completed. After bearing the weight of the cup, the downward force brought by the overall weight of the cup is transmitted to the entire structure, which greatly improves the load-bearing capacity and is superior to the existing technology.

[0025] The preparation structure with lifting and moving trajectory can also move and limit the movement of the guide bar and positioning groove, ensuring that the lower support lifting and lowering will not cause the sliding structure in the slide groove to misalign and get stuck.

[0026] With a suspension structure, it can be used to hang food containers for steaming, and can also be hung on the kitchen wall; it can be easily disassembled and cleaned by simply removing the four axial screws and the anti-fall locking ring. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0036] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings to provide a clearer understanding of the purpose, features, and advantages of the present invention. It should be understood that the embodiments shown in the drawings are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, but are merely for illustrating the essential spirit of the technical solution of the present invention. In the following description, the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "outer," "inner," "outward," "inward," "upper," and "lower" should refer to the corresponding directions in the accompanying drawings.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a multifunctional bowl clamp mainly includes two supports: an upper support 1 and a lower support 2, which are made of high-temperature resistant plastic or metal. Bowl claws 3 can be opened and closed at the corresponding connection between the two supports to clamp the bowl. This is the general structure of the prior art.

[0038] Unlike existing technologies, the upper support 1 of this invention includes a sleeve plate 4 and an upper claw frame 5. A shaft tube 6 is centrally located on the sleeve plate 4, a structure absent in existing technologies. This shaft tube primarily serves as a guide for vertical movement. An upper sliding cavity 14 is provided within the sleeve plate 4, with guide bars 15 arranged on its inner wall. A positioning groove 16 is provided on the surface of the shaft tube 6. The rail plate 8 is inserted into the upper sliding cavity 14, the shaft rod 9 is inserted into the shaft tube 6, and the guide bars 15 slide into the positioning groove 16. In addition to the original limitation of the rail plate's movement by the edge of the upper sliding cavity 14, the guide bars and positioning groove in the middle also provide movement limits, ensuring that the lower support's lifting and lowering does not result in misalignment or jamming of the sliding structure within the groove.

[0039] The upper claw frame 5 is connected to both sides of the sleeve plate 4. The upper claw frame 5 is equipped with an outer rotating shaft 7. The outer rotating shaft 7 is directly set as a rotating shaft according to the existing technology, and is used to fit into the shaft hole at the tail end of the opening and closing linkage 11. This allows the tail end of the opening and closing linkage 11 to rotate.

[0040] The lower support 2 includes a rail plate 8 and a shaft 9. The shaft 9 is arranged in the center of the rail plate 8, and a sliding groove 10 is arranged at the bottom of the rail plate 8.

[0041] The cup claw 3 is equipped with an opening and closing linkage 11. The head end of the opening and closing linkage 11 slides in a sliding groove 10, which is shaped like a ">" character. The tail end of the opening and closing linkage 11 is rotatably connected to the outer rotating shaft 7 of the upper claw frame 5. Thus, when the lower support is lifted, the head end of the opening and closing linkage 11 moves towards the center of the sliding groove 10, causing the cup claw 3 to close due to the linkage. Figure 6 , 7 As shown;

[0042] The bowl claws have also been improved compared to existing technologies, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the bowl claw 3 specifically includes a claw main rod 20, an opening and closing connecting rod 11, and a claw body 21. The opening and closing connecting rod 11 is obliquely arranged at the top of the claw main rod 20, and the claw body 21 is arranged inwardly at the bottom of the claw main rod 20. The claw main rod 20, the opening and closing connecting rod 11, and the claw body 21 form a U-shape. This arrangement is more stable than a triangular bowl claw, can adapt to more bowl shapes, and can support the bottom of the bowl.

[0043] like Figure 2 , 6As shown in Figure 7, the track plate 8 slides and rises within the sleeve plate 4, and the shaft 9 moves and rises within the shaft tube 6. The sleeve plate 4 is provided with an anti-fall locking ring 12 at the top of the shaft tube 6. The shaft 9 is longer than the shaft tube 6. After the shaft 9 is inserted into the shaft tube 6, it will protrude from the top of the shaft tube 6. If the anti-fall locking ring 12 threaded on the shaft 9 maintains a movable distance from the top of the shaft tube 6, then the entire lower support can move freely up and down, that is, the cup claw can open and close freely. Moreover, if the anti-fall locking ring 12 maintains a movable distance from the top of the shaft tube 6, it is the limit height for the shaft to rise and fall. However, if the anti-fall locking ring 12 is spiraled downwards and the movable distance between the anti-fall locking ring 12 and the top of the shaft tube 6 becomes 0cm, then due to the reaction force between the upper support and the anti-fall locking ring, the lifting distance of the lower support is locked until the anti-fall locking ring 12 spirals up to unlock, thereby limiting the lifting height of the shaft 9. A neck sleeve 13 is provided at the top of the shaft tube 6, and the anti-fall locking ring 12 is limited by the neck sleeve 13 when it descends. The neck sleeve can adjust the maximum opening size of the cup claw when the anti-fall locking ring falls, and after locking, it can bear the load not only by the anti-fall locking ring locked to the sliding structure on the shaft, but also by the neck sleeve and its upper support.

[0044] With this structure, the anti-fall locking ring can lock the position of the shaft tube and the opening size of the cup claw after the lifting action is completed. After bearing the weight of the cup, the downward force brought by the overall weight of the cup is transmitted to the upper claw frame of the upper support and the rail plate of the lower support, and then transmitted to the shaft through the rail plate, and finally to the anti-fall locking ring. When the anti-fall locking ring falls, it is placed on the top of the shaft tube to bear the force. This changes the original structure where only the cup claw or the lower support bears the force of the cup to the structure where all components bear the force, which greatly improves the load-bearing capacity. This makes the inventiveness and novelty of this utility model superior to the existing technology.

[0045] The method of using this utility model is as follows: push down the lifting ring 19 to move the lower support 2 down as well, opening the entire bowl claw 3. Place the bowl claw 3 on both sides of the bowl and fix the bowl rim into the bowl rim through hole 27. Then lift up the lifting ring 19 to move the lower support 2 up, closing the bowl claw 3 and clamping the bowl. Rotate the anti-fall locking ring 12 along the thread to lock the current opening angle of the bowl claw. Then the bowl can be removed from the steamer. For cleaning, remove the two pivots on the opening and closing linkage 11 and remove the anti-fall locking ring to separate the upper support 1, lower support 2, and bowl claw 3.

[0046] The shaft 9 includes a slide tube 17 integrally formed with the rail plate 8 and a threaded tube 18 provided on the top of the slide tube 17. The surface of the threaded tube 18 is provided with external threads, and the inner wall of the anti-fall locking ring 12 is provided with internal threads. The anti-fall locking ring 12 will be threadedly connected to the external threads and positioned in the required position.

[0047] Preferably, the top of the spiral tube 18 is also provided with a hanging ring 19, and the spiral tube 18 is connected to the hanging ring 19 after the anti-fall locking ring 12 is provided at its top. This configuration can have a suspension structure, allowing the food container to be suspended and steamed by the suspension rack of the steamer, and it can also be suspended on the kitchen wall.

[0048] Preferably, the claw body 21 includes a frame claw 22, spring claws 23, and a connecting rod 24. The connecting rod 24 is provided on the back of the frame claw 22 and is connected to the claw body 21. Several spring claws 23 are provided below the frame claw 22. The connecting rod changes from a single connection to a multiple connection, the frame claw has a large coverage area, can accommodate larger bowls and plates, and the drooping frame claw can grip bowls.

[0049] As a preferred option, such as Figure 7 As shown, the frame claw 22 is square or trapezoidal, with several step blocks 25 on both sides and anti-slip pads 26 on the top and bottom. A bowl rim through-hole 27 is cut out in the center of the frame claw 22. The step blocks and anti-slip pads provide anti-slip properties, and the bowl rim can be directly inserted and secured through the through-hole. The frame claw is replaceable and can be fitted with other shapes to accommodate various bowls.

[0050] like Figure 8 As shown in Embodiment 2, the sleeve plate 4 has a completely hollowed-out handle frame 28. The presence of the handle frame allows the user to directly move the slide tube up and down or lock its current position by gripping the hollowed-out holes on the rail plate with two fingers through the handle frame.

[0051] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the above description. However, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
