[0002] A timer is a device that measures time using mechanical, electronic, or intelligent technology. Its main functions include recording time periods, controlling time intervals, and displaying specific times. In a kitchen setting, it can precisely control the cooking time of ingredients, such as setting the time for steaming eggs or simmering, to avoid overcooking or undercooking. When used for studying, it can help plan focused periods, such as setting 25-minute focused study cycles and reminding you of rest intervals, to help improve time management efficiency, thereby making kitchen operations more precise and the learning rhythm more orderly.

[0003] However, existing timers used in the kitchen usually rely on magnetic adsorption to fix the timer to metal surfaces such as refrigerator doors and microwave oven sides. This severely limits the installation scenarios of timers to metal surfaces. They cannot be fixed to common non-magnetic kitchen areas such as wooden cabinets and tiled walls. They can only be placed on the countertop, which takes up counter space. They are also easily blocked by food and kitchen utensils, causing you to miss the time prompts and affecting the accurate control of cooking time. Therefore, the installation flexibility of timers in the kitchen needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0023] 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.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-7As shown, a convenient adsorption timer includes a timer body 1. A mounting base 3 is mounted on the timer body 1 via a mounting assembly 2. A magnet 4 is provided in the middle of the mounting base 3. A support rod 5 is rotatably connected to the damping shaft of the mounting base 3. Multiple suction cups 6 are mounted on the side of the support rod 5 facing the mounting base 3. The mounting assembly 2 includes a mounting groove 201. The timer body 1 has a mounting groove 201. A sliding sleeve 203 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the mounting base 3. The sliding sleeve 203 is slidably connected to the mounting groove 201. A fixed base 202 is fixedly connected inside the mounting groove 201. A limiting block 204 with a frustum-shaped structure is fixedly connected to the top end of the fixed base 202. Two locking blocks 205 are slidably connected inside the sliding sleeve 203. The end of the locking block 205 facing the fixed base 202 abuts against the bottom end of the limiting block 204. A slider 208 with a frustum-shaped structure is slidably connected to the middle of the fixed base 202.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the fixed seat 202 has a "T" shaped cross-section, and the sliding sleeve 203 has a "T" shaped cross-section. The sliding sleeve 203 abuts against the connecting plate 212, preventing the mounting seat 3 from slipping off the sliding sleeve 203. The end of the locking block 205 facing the limiting block 204 has an inclined surface. The inclined surface of the locking block 205 cooperates with the frustum-shaped limiting block 204 and the slider 208 to achieve rapid locking and releasing of the locking block 205. A guide rod 206 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking block 205 facing away from the limiting block 204. The guide rod 206 is slidably connected to the sliding sleeve 203. The two locking blocks... Blocks 205 are symmetrically distributed about the center of the limiting block 204. The cross-section of the guide rod 206 is T-shaped. The guide rod 206 provides good guidance for the locking block 205, thereby preventing the locking block 205 from slipping off the sliding sleeve 203. A spring 207 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 206. One end of the spring 207 is fixedly connected to the locking block 205, and the other end of the spring 207 is fixedly connected to the sliding sleeve 203. The spring 207 can push the locking block 205 to reset and achieve locking by the elastic force generated by the elastic deformation. When the locking block 205 is compressed, it contracts to provide space for it to retreat, ensuring that the locking block 205 operates flexibly.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the timer body 1 has two slots 209, which are symmetrically distributed about the middle of the mounting groove 201. A fixing block 211 is inserted into each slot 209 and is fixedly connected to the mounting base 3. The fixing block 211 engages with the slot 209 to limit the movement of the sliding sleeve 203, preventing it from sliding into the mounting groove 201 due to accidental contact with the timer body 1 or the mounting base 3 during daily use, thereby increasing... The stability is enhanced by the addition of a limiting block 204 and a locking block 205. The timer body 1 has two sliding grooves 210, which are symmetrically distributed about the middle of the mounting groove 201. The sliding grooves 210 and the locking groove 209 are perpendicular to each other. The sliding grooves 210 are connected to the mounting groove 201. When the mounting base 3 is removed, the mounting base 3 and the sliding sleeve 203 rotate simultaneously, causing the fixing block 211 to rotate and slide into the sliding groove 210, thereby quickly releasing the limiting effect of the fixing block 211 on the sliding sleeve 203.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a connecting plate 212 is fixedly connected to the top of the sliding sleeve 203, and a tension spring 213 is fixedly connected between the connecting plate 212 and the mounting base 3. The tension spring 213 can provide a rebound force after the fixing block 211 slides into the slot 209, so that the fixing block 211 is kept inserted in the slot 209, thereby further increasing the stability of the sliding sleeve 203.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, an anti-slip pad 7 is installed at one end of the support rod 5 facing away from the damping shaft of the mounting base 3. The anti-slip pad 7 increases the friction between the support rod 5 and the table when the support rod 5 is supported by the table, thereby increasing the stability of the timer body 1 when placed. A rubber pad 8 is installed on the side of the support rod 5 facing away from the suction cup 6. A protective sleeve 9 is fitted on the outside of the timer body 1. The protective sleeve 9 can protect the timer body 1 and isolate oil stains. A through hole 10 is opened on the timer body 1. The through hole 10 can be used for additional hanging, further improving the convenience of use.

[0029] In use, the mounting base 3 is first assembled with the timer body 1. During operation, the sliding sleeve 203, rotatably connected to the bottom end of the mounting base 3, is aligned with the mounting groove 201 of the timer body 1 and inserted downwards. Simultaneously, it must be ensured that the two fixing blocks 211 on the outer wall of the sliding sleeve 203 are aligned with the slot 209. As the sliding sleeve 203 slides into the mounting groove 201, when the locking block 205 contacts the outer wall of the limiting block 204, the limiting block 204 will abut against the locking block 205 and slide inwards into the sliding sleeve 203. At the same time, the locking block 205 will compress the spring 207, causing it to retract. During the downward sliding of the sliding sleeve 203, the fixing blocks 211 will simultaneously slide into the slot 209. When the bottom end of the fixing block 211 abuts against the timer body 1, the fixing block 211... 1. The sliding sleeve 203 can no longer slide downwards. At this time, the outer wall of the limiting block 204 no longer abuts against the locking block 205. The spring 207 then resets and pushes the locking block 205 towards the limiting block 204, eventually causing the bottom end of the locking block 205 to abut against the limiting block 204, thus quickly achieving a stable connection between the mounting base 3 and the timer body 1. When it is necessary to disassemble the mounting base 3, pull the mounting base 3 away from the timer body 1. At this time, the mounting base 3 drives the fixed block 211 connected to it to slide out of the slot 209. At the same time, the mounting base 3 drives the tension spring 213 to extend. Then, rotate the mounting base 3 ninety degrees. As the mounting base 3 rotates, it drives the sliding sleeve 203 and the fixed block 211 to rotate together, thereby aligning the fixed block 211 with the sliding groove 210. Then, press down on the mounting base 3. Mounting seat 3 drives fixing block 211 to slide into slide groove 210, thereby preventing fixing block 211 from obstructing the downward sliding of slide sleeve 203. At the same time, mounting seat 3 drives locking block 205 to slide downward through slide sleeve 203. During the sliding process, slider 208 abuts against locking block 205 and retracts into slide sleeve 203. Since the diameter of slider 208 decreases from top to bottom, when locking block 205 passes the maximum diameter of slider 208, spring 207 randomly resets and pushes locking block 205 towards slider 208, so that locking block 205 always abuts against slider 208. Continue pressing mounting seat 3 until the bottom end of slide sleeve 203 abuts against fixing seat 202 and can no longer slide. Then pull mounting seat 3 upward. Mounting seat 3 drives locking block 205 to slide downward through slide sleeve 203. The locking block 205 moves upward, maintaining contact with the slider 208 and causing the slider 208 to slide upward. When the slider 208 slides to the point of contact with the limiting block 204, it stops sliding. At this point, the locking block 205 slides completely into the interior of the sliding sleeve 203, and the spring 207 remains in a contracted state, continuously pulling the mounting base 3 upward until the locking block 205 passes the limiting block 204, thereby quickly releasing the limitation on the mounting base 3. This makes the mounting base 3 easy to disassemble, which not only facilitates the replacement of damaged mounting base 3, but also reduces the overall space occupied by the timer body 1 after disassembling the mounting base 3, making it convenient for daily carrying. When used in a kitchen setting, if it needs to be attached to a metal surface such as a refrigerator or microwave oven, it can be directly attached using the magnet 4 in the middle of the mounting base 3.For non-magnetic surfaces such as wooden cabinets or tiled walls, the support rod 5 can be rotated 180 degrees via the damping shaft of the mounting base 3. Then, the suction cup 6 on the support rod 5 can be pressed to ensure it adheres tightly to the surface, thus securing it. When the timer body 1 is used for learning, it can be supported by the support rod 5 and placed on the desktop for easy viewing of the display screen.

[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.

[0031] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
