Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of appliances, specifically to a suspension structure for a container and a fermentation basket. Background Technology

[0002] In the food processing industry, especially in the fermentation process of dough, baskets are commonly used to hold the dough. Traditional fermentation baskets mainly suffer from the following technical challenges: In the food processing industry (especially in dough fermentation processes), there are both handling and hanging requirements (the dough needs to be moved between different locations before and after fermentation). After use, the baskets are often turned upside down to drain, store, or hang for proofing.

[0003] 1. The temporary suspension solution has poor reliability: Users often hang fermentation baskets directly on hooks or the edge of supports, but the baskets lack a dedicated suspension structure, making them prone to tipping over due to a shift in the center of gravity.

[0004] 2. Lack of handle function: Most fermentation baskets do not have dedicated handles, requiring both hands to support the bottom when moving them, which can easily cause the dough to deform. The few solutions that add fixed handles have the problem of not being able to store them properly, as the handles or hanging parts are fixed in structure, permanently protruding and taking up space and affecting the stacking and storage of fermentation baskets.

[0005] 3. The cloth bag is inconvenient to secure: To prevent the dough from sticking together, a removable cloth bag is often placed inside the fermentation basket. Current techniques mostly use rubber bands or ropes to secure the dough, which is cumbersome and prone to loosening, especially during dough expansion when the pressure may increase and cause the cloth bag to shift.

[0006] 4. Single structural function: Some fermentation baskets have been modified with decorative straps, but these are purely aesthetic and cannot be converted into functional components (such as handles), resulting in structural redundancy. This functional separation leads to operational inefficiency: decorative elements and handles / suspension structures are independent of each other; for example, decorative straps are only for aesthetic purposes (like hemp rope wrapping); additional handles are required for transport; and accessories with multiple fixing structures increase costs.

[0007] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a specialized container suspension structure and a matching fermentation basket to effectively solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a suspension structure for a container that allows for free switching between a usable state and a suspended state, achieving a stable effect in the suspended state, and arbitrarily adjusting the distance between the suspension point and the container body to adapt to different suspension needs. When this suspension structure is used to connect a fermentation basket, it can be used to stably suspend the fermentation basket, and can also serve as a temporary handle for transfer and carrying. In addition, it can also be used for the stable connection of the fermentation cloth used for internal fermentation, taking into account the four requirements of "practicality and decoration", "suspension and storage / use", "handle functionality" and "reliability of fermentation cloth fastening".

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A suspension structure for a container includes a container body, a decorative strip, and a docking assembly. The decorative strip is wrapped around the container body. The decorative strip is characterized in that: a portion of it is fixed to the outer wall of the container body; the decorative strip has a movable end; a docking assembly is provided between the movable end and the container body; the docking assembly includes a first docking unit and at least two second docking units; the first docking unit is located at the movable end of the decorative strip, and the second docking units are located on the surface of the container body, each second docking unit having a suspension position and a contact position. When the first docking unit of the movable end is connected to the second docking unit of the hanging position, a gap is left between the decorative strip and the surface of the container body for hanging; when the first docking unit of the movable end is connected to the second docking unit of the close-fitting position, the decorative strip is close to the surface of the container body.

[0010] Compared with existing technologies, the suspension structure of the container using the above technical solution has the following advantages: The suspension structure of the container using this utility model allows the same decorative strip to freely switch between "decorative state that fits the edge of the container and is used for normal container use" and "suspension / handle state that extends into a load-bearing structure" through the switching mechanism of the docking components. This reduces the space occupied by the structure for this function and integrates three major functions: decoration, handling handle, and suspension positioning.

[0011] In this case, the length of the decorative strip is not limited. Considering both decoration and practicality, it is preferable that the decorative strip can be fixed around the entire surface of the container body, so that there are enough points on the surface of the container body for hanging.

[0012] Preferably, the connection structure of the first docking unit and the second docking unit includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, magnetic, plug-in, adhesive, or threaded connection structures.

[0013] In this case, there are multiple connection schemes for the docking components. In order to simultaneously achieve the multiple effects of stable suspension, stable connection and convenient switching of states, the docking components are preferably fastening structures. Preferably, the first docking unit can be fastened and fixed to the second docking unit at the suspension position and the second docking unit at the close contact position, respectively.

[0014] Preferably, at least two first docking units are provided, and the first docking units are arranged along the length direction of the movable end. The simultaneous connection of multiple positions effectively increases the connection stability between the decorative strip and the container body during use. The gap size for suspension can be adjusted by the docking components to accommodate suspension / handling requirements of different volumes and load-bearing capacities.

[0015] Preferably, the movable end is provided with a support portion, and the support portion is integrally connected to the movable end. Both the decorative strip and the support portion are made of leather, vegan leather, rubber, or soft plastic. The support portion facilitates quick operation and rapid assembly / disassembly, increasing ease of use. The decorative strip as a whole, including the support portion, can adapt to different container sizes and corresponding functions based on the deformability, stability, or plasticity of the aforementioned materials.

[0016] Preferably, the container body has a normally open top structure, and the top edge of the container body curves downwards. This downward-extending open edge design accommodates the handling requirements of the container body, and, combined with the decorative strap's hanging handle function, increases safety during transport.

[0017] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention also adopts the following technical solution: A fermentation basket includes a container body and a suspension structure of the container as described in any embodiment. The container body is a basket used for food fermentation. The container body has a cavity and an opening, and a cloth cover and a fermentation lid are detachably connected to the opening.

[0018] Compared with existing technologies, the fermentation basket adopting the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: While ensuring stable hanging, transfer, and carrying of the fermentation basket, it also solves the problem of insecure bag fixing by providing a stable connection for the internal fermentation cover. The fermentation lid and cover work together to enable fermentation, taking into account multiple practical needs such as "decorativeness," "hanging storage / use," "handle functionality," and "reliable cover fastening." Preferably, the container body is made of linen, cotton, bamboo strips or straw.

[0019] Preferably, the cloth cover can be embedded and fit the inner wall of the cavity, and the edge of the cloth cover can be flipped around the edge of the opening and snapped between the decorative strip and the side wall of the container body.

[0020] With the opening structure described above at the edge of the fabric cover, and by utilizing the deformability of the fabric cover itself, the mating assembly can achieve a tight fit between the fabric cover and the container body when it is located between the decorative strip and the container body.

[0027] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 5 The suspended structure of the container and the fermentation basket shown include the container body 1, the decorative strip 2, and the docking assembly 3.

[0029] In this case, the container body 1 is made of hemp cloth, cotton cloth, bamboo strips or straw. In this embodiment, the container body 1 is a basket for food fermentation. The container body 1 is made of bamboo strips and has an open structure with a normally open top. The container body 1 has a cavity 10 and an opening 11. The edge of the opening 11 at the top of the container body 1 curves downward. A cloth cover 6 and a fermentation cover 7 are detachably connected to the opening 11.

[0030] Regarding the assembly and connection method of the cloth cover 6, the cloth cover 6 is embedded and fits the inner wall of the cavity 10. The fermentation cover 7 is made of gauze and covers the position of the opening 11 of the cloth cover 6 for fermentation. The edge of the cloth cover 6 can also be flipped over to bypass the edge of the opening 11 and snapped between the decorative strip 2 and the side wall of the container body 1.

[0031] A decorative strip 2 is wrapped around the container body 1. The decorative strip 2 is partially fixed to the outer wall of the container body 1. The decorative strip 2 has a movable end 21, and a docking assembly 3 is provided between the movable end 21 and the container body 1. The docking assembly 3 includes a first docking unit 31 and at least two second docking units 32. The first docking unit 31 is located at the movable end 21 of the decorative strip 2, and the second docking units 32 are located on the surface of the container body 1. The second docking units 32 are divided into a hanging position 320 and a close-fitting position 321. If a two-handed handling function is required, the decorative strip 2 can be provided with two movable ends 21 to form two gaps between the decorative strip 2 and the container body 1.

[0032] When the first docking unit 31 of the movable end 21 is connected to the second docking unit 32 of the hanging position 320, a gap is left between the decorative strip 2 and the surface of the container body 1 for hanging; when the first docking unit 31 of the movable end 21 is connected to the second docking unit 32 of the close-fitting position 321, the decorative strip 2 is close to the surface of the container body 1.

[0033] In this case, the length of decorative strip 2 is not limited, but because a shorter decorative strip 2 (such as...) Figure 5 The longer the decorative strip 2, the more limited the available hanging positions on the surface of the container body 1 become. Therefore, if... Figure 4 As shown, in the preferred embodiment, considering both decoration and practicality, the decorative strip 2 is preferably longer and can be fixed around the entire surface of the container body 1, so that there are enough positions (hanging positions 320) on the surface of the container body 1 for hanging and fixing.

[0034] Regarding the docking component 3, the connection structure of the first docking unit 31 and the second docking unit 32 includes, but is not limited to, snap-fit, magnetic, plug-in, adhesive, or threaded connection structures.

[0035] In this embodiment, taking into account the multiple functions of stable suspension, stable connection and convenient switching of states, the docking component 3 is a snap-fit ​​structure as a whole, that is, the first docking unit 31 can be snapped and fixed with the second docking unit 32 of the suspension position 320 and the second docking unit 32 of the close contact position 321 respectively.

[0036] To increase the connection stability between the decorative strip 2 and the container body 1 in use, and to achieve different sizes of gaps for suspension, at least two first docking units 31 are provided, and the first docking units 31 are arranged along the length direction of the movable end 21.

[0037] Furthermore, to facilitate one-handed operation and quick assembly / disassembly, the movable end 21 is provided with a support part 4, and the support part 4 is integrally connected with the movable end 21. Both the decorative strip 2 and the support part 4 are made of leather, vegan leather, rubber or soft plastic. In this embodiment, considering the deformability of the decorative strip 2 which is far from the container body 1, the firmness and stability when hanging, and the plasticity as a handle, the decorative strip 2 and the support part 4 are made of the same vegan leather material.

[0038] The above description is a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. For those skilled in the art, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present utility model, and these should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
