Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cutting board technology, and more specifically, to a standing cutting board. Background Technology

[0002] Cutting boards are common tools in the kitchen, widely used for cutting and processing food. Traditional cutting boards are usually made of wood and need to be placed on a special cutting board rack or placed directly against the kitchen wall. However, due to the humid environment of the kitchen and frequent contact with moisture, the bottom of the cutting board or the part in contact with the wall is difficult to dry quickly. Long-term exposure to moisture can cause the material to absorb water, swell, deform, and even grow mold. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this application includes, for example, providing a standing cutting board that allows the cutting board to stand upright without the need for a special cutting board holder and provides a waterproof effect.

[0004] The embodiments of this application can be implemented as follows:

[0005] An embodiment of this application provides a standing cutting board, which includes a cutting board body, a fixed support member, and two adjustable support members. The side of the cutting board body is provided with a mounting surface. The fixed support member is disposed in the middle of the mounting surface. The two adjustable support members are disposed on the mounting surface and located on both sides of the fixed support member. The height of the adjustable support members is adjustable.

[0006] Optionally, the adjusting support includes a screw and a first nut. The screw is fixed to the mounting surface, and the first nut is threadedly engaged with the screw. The first nut is used to cooperate with the fixing support to support the cutting board body.

[0007] Optionally, the adjusting support further includes a second nut, which is threaded into the screw and is used to abut against the first nut.

[0008] Optionally, an anti-slip element is provided at the end of the first nut away from the anvil body.

[0009] Optionally, the screw portion passes through the anvil body, and the first nut is threadedly engaged with the portion of the screw located outside the anvil body;

[0010] The adjusting support also includes a third nut, which is threadedly engaged with the portion of the screw located outside the anvil body and is used to abut against the mounting surface.

[0011] Optionally, the adjusting support further includes a washer, which is sleeved on the screw and located between the third nut and the mounting surface.

[0012] Optionally, both the screw and the first nut are made of stainless steel.

[0013] Optionally, the fixing support is elongated and rotatably mounted on the mounting surface, with the rotation plane of the fixing support parallel to the mounting surface.

[0014] Optionally, the standing cutting board further includes bolts, which pass through the fixing support and the cutting board body in sequence, so that the fixing support can rotate relative to the cutting board body.

[0015] Optionally, the fixing support member has a hollowed-out area for gripping.

[0016] The beneficial effects of the standing cutting board provided in this application include, for example, in order to make the cutting board stand upright and have a water-proof effect, a standing cutting board is designed. The standing cutting board includes a cutting board body, a fixed support and two adjustable support. The side of the cutting board body is provided with a mounting surface. The fixed support is located in the middle of the mounting surface. The two adjustable support are both located on the mounting surface and on both sides of the fixed support. The height of the adjustable support is adjustable.

[0017] When the cutting board needs to be placed upright, the fixed support and the two adjustable supports together form a three-point support structure, creating a stable support plane. This allows the cutting board to stand steadily with its sides as support edges. This design eliminates the need for a dedicated cutting board rack, allowing the bottom of the cutting board to be completely suspended from the countertop. This effectively prevents moisture from accumulating on the bottom of the cutting board, improves ventilation and drying efficiency, and reduces hygiene hazards such as deformation and mold growth caused by dampness.

[0028] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, the features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-3The embodiments of this application provide a standing cutting board, including a cutting board body 100, a fixed support 200 and two adjustable support members 300. The cutting board body 100 has a mounting surface 110 on its side. The fixed support 200 is disposed in the middle of the mounting surface 110. The two adjustable support members 300 are both disposed on the mounting surface 110 and located on both sides of the fixed support 200. The height of the adjustable support members 300 is adjustable.

[0030] Mounting surface 110 is one side of the cutting board body 100, serving as the mounting base for the fixed support 200 and the adjusting support 300. The fixed support 200 is located in the middle of the mounting surface 110, and the two adjusting supports 300 are respectively arranged on both sides of the fixed support 200 and are also fixed to the mounting surface 110.

[0031] The fixed support 200 and the two adjustable support 300 work together to form a dynamically adjustable triangular support system. The fixed support 200 provides the main load-bearing points, while the adjustable support 300 undertakes the auxiliary functions of fine-tuning the posture and enhancing stability.

[0032] When the cutting board needs to be placed upright, the fixed support 200 and the two adjustable supports 300 together form a three-point support structure, creating a stable support plane, allowing the cutting board body 100 to stand steadily with its side as the support edge. This design eliminates the need for a special cutting board rack, allowing the bottom of the cutting board to be completely suspended from the countertop, effectively preventing moisture accumulation on the bottom surface, improving ventilation and drying efficiency, and reducing hygiene hazards such as deformation and mold growth caused by dampness.

[0033] The height of the adjustable support 300 is adjustable, meaning the length of the adjustable support 300 extending outward from the mounting surface 110 can be adjusted accordingly. In practical applications, when the cutting board is placed on an uneven countertop or floor, the height of one or both adjustable support 300s can be adjusted to compensate for the imbalance caused by the tilt of the ground, ensuring that the cutting board remains vertically stable and preventing it from tipping over.

[0034] In this embodiment, the adjusting support 300 includes a screw 310 and a first nut 320. The screw 310 is fixed to the mounting surface 110, and the first nut 320 is threadedly engaged with the screw 310. The first nut 320 is used to cooperate with the fixing support 200 to support the cutting board body 100.

[0035] The screw 310 serves as a basic fixing component. One end of the screw is fixed to the mounting surface 110 of the cutting board body 100, and the other end extends outward in a direction away from the mounting surface 110. The first nut 320 forms a threaded engagement with the screw 310, that is, the first nut 320 is sleeved on the outside of the screw 310 and can move along the axial direction of the screw 310 by rotation.

[0036] When it is necessary to adjust the standing posture of the cutting board or adapt it to surfaces with different flatness, the first nut 320 can be manually rotated to create axial displacement on the screw 310. Specifically, rotating the first nut 320 clockwise or counterclockwise will cause it to slide up or down along the screw 310, thereby changing the extension length of the first nut 320 away from the mounting surface 110. Since the first nut 320 is supported on the ground or countertop, its position determines the actual support height of the adjusting support 300. This design allows for precise control of the overall height of the adjusting support 300 through a simple rotation operation, thus enabling fine-tuning of the cutting board's upright posture.

[0037] In this embodiment, the adjusting support 300 also includes a second nut 330, which is threadedly engaged with the screw 310 and is used to abut against the first nut 320.

[0038] The second nut 330 is also sleeved on the screw 310 and can move axially. The second nut 330 is used to tighten the first nut 320 after the position of the first nut 320 is adjusted to the correct position, forming a double nut anti-loosening structure.

[0039] After height adjustment is completed by rotating the first nut 320, the first nut 320 is at a specific axial position on the screw 310. At this time, without additional locking measures, this position may shift due to slight shaking or collision of the anvil during use, leading to instability of the support. To avoid this situation, the second nut 330 can be tightened to move it along the screw 310 toward the first nut 320 until the end faces of the two come into contact with each other and generate a clamping force.

[0040] This can be understood as follows: when the second nut 330 is tightened against the first nut 320, the friction between the two increases significantly, effectively preventing the first nut 320 from rotating spontaneously due to external disturbances. The mechanical locking of the adjustment position is achieved through this double-nut anti-loosening structure.

[0041] In this embodiment, an anti-slip component 321 is provided at the end of the first nut 320 away from the anvil body 100.

[0042] The end of the first nut 320 furthest from the cutting board body 100 refers to the side of the first nut 320 facing the ground or countertop axially along the screw 310. This end directly participates in the support function. In this embodiment, an anti-slip element 321 is provided at this end to enhance its grip on the supporting surface. Specifically, the anti-slip element 321 can be made of rubber, silicone, polyurethane, or other elastic non-metallic materials and is fixed to the bottom end of the first nut 320 by bonding, sleeve, embedding, or integral molding. This design ensures that when the first nut 320 bears part of the supporting load, the anti-slip element 321 first contacts the countertop, utilizing its soft material and rough surface to generate a large static friction force, effectively suppressing the horizontal displacement of the cutting board caused by slight external force interference. In addition, the outer diameter of the anti-slip element 321 can be slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first nut 320 to increase the contact area and avoid wear or scratches on the countertop caused by direct metal contact with the ground.

[0043] For example, when the standing cutting board is placed on a kitchen tile or stainless steel countertop, if the support point is the exposed first nut 320, it is very easy for the surface to slip in a humid environment, causing the whole board to become unstable. However, with the anti-slip part 321 installed, even if there are water stains or oil stains on the countertop, it can still maintain sufficient friction resistance to ensure that the cutting board stands stably upright.

[0044] In this embodiment, the screw 310 is partially inserted into the cutting board body 100, and the first nut 320 is threadedly engaged with the portion of the screw 310 located outside the cutting board body 100; the adjusting support 300 also includes a third nut 340, which is threadedly engaged with the portion of the screw 310 located outside the cutting board body 100 and is used to abut against the mounting surface 110.

[0045] The screw 310 is inserted into the mounting surface 110 from one side, with its axial extension direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 110. A portion of the screw 310 is located inside the anvil body 100, while the other portion extends into the external space. The third nut 340 is threadedly engaged with the portion of the screw 310 located outside the anvil body 100, and can move axially along the screw 310 until it is pressed against the mounting surface 110.

[0046] During assembly, the screw 310 is first passed through the through hole on the mounting surface 110, and then the third nut 340 is screwed on externally. As the third nut 340 is gradually tightened, a clamping force is generated between the end face of the third nut 340 and the mounting surface 110, thereby firmly locking the screw 310 in the axial direction and preventing it from axially displacing or completely coming off due to external force.

[0047] The screw 310 is constrained by the clamping effect between the third nut 340 and the mounting surface 110: it is pressed from the outside by the third nut 340 and limited by the structure of the anvil body 100. This nut locking structure effectively improves the reliability of the screw 310 connection and reduces the risk of loosening and falling off due to vibration, impact, or frequent adjustments during long-term use.

[0048] In this embodiment, the adjusting support 300 further includes a washer 350, which is sleeved on the screw 310 and located between the third nut 340 and the mounting surface 110.

[0049] The gasket 350 is an annular flat plate component, whose inner hole matches the outer diameter of the screw 310, and can slide along the axial direction of the screw 310, and is located between the third nut 340 and the mounting surface 110.

[0050] When the third nut 340 is tightened to press against the mounting surface 110 and achieve axial locking of the screw 310, without the washer 350, the metal third nut 340 will directly contact the mounting surface 110 of the cutting board body 100. Since the third nut 340 is typically made of stainless steel or other hard metal, while the cutting board body 100 is mostly made of wood, the difference in hardness between the two is significant. In this situation, if a preload is applied directly, the end face of the third nut 340 may develop localized indentations, plastic deformation, or even cracks on the mounting surface 110.

[0051] A washer 350 is placed between the third nut 340 and the mounting surface 110 as an intermediate layer for force transmission. Its function is to expand the bearing area of ​​the load, so that the pressure originally concentrated in a small area at the edge of the nut is distributed to a larger area of ​​the mounting surface 110. This design effectively reduces the compressive stress per unit area and avoids surface damage to the anvil body 100 caused by stress concentration.

[0052] In this embodiment, both the screw 310 and the first nut 320 are made of stainless steel.

[0053] As core components of the adjusting support 300, the screw 310 and the first nut 320 are directly exposed to the external environment, especially in the area in contact with the ground, where moisture is more likely to accumulate, making them potential corrosion sites. Therefore, using stainless steel can effectively prevent the screw 310 and the first nut 320 from corroding and rusting.

[0054] Stainless steel, containing alloying elements such as chromium and nickel, forms a dense chromium oxide passivation film on its surface. This film has self-healing capabilities and effectively blocks chemical reactions between moisture, acids, alkalis, and the base metal, thus preventing rust and pitting. Therefore, using stainless steel for the screw 310 and the first nut 320 ensures that they maintain a clean appearance even under long-term humid conditions, avoiding problems such as jamming and adjustment difficulties caused by rust.

[0055] In addition to the screw 310 and the first nut 320 being made of stainless steel, the second nut 330 and the third nut 340 can also be made of stainless steel.

[0056] In this embodiment, the fixed support member 200 is elongated and is rotatably disposed on the mounting surface 110. The rotation plane of the fixed support member 200 is parallel to the mounting surface 110.

[0057] The fixed support 200 is rotatably mounted on the mounting surface 110 of the cutting board body 100. The plane in which the fixed support 200 rotates is parallel to the mounting surface 110, and it can rotate to a position where the fixed support 200 is perpendicular to the large surface of the cutting board body 100.

[0058] When the cutting board is placed upright, the fixed support 200 can be manually rotated to change its orientation from parallel to the large surface of the cutting board body 100 to perpendicular to the large surface of the cutting board body 100. At this time, the fixed support 200 and the two adjustable supports 300 support the cutting board body 100 in two perpendicular directions.

[0059] In practical applications, if the fixed support 200 exists only in the form of a short protrusion, the support area is limited and it is easy to tip over due to the shift of the center of gravity. However, by adopting a long strip structure and supporting it in the direction perpendicular to the large surface of the cutting board body 100 after rotation, and the two adjusting support 300 supporting it in the direction parallel to the large surface of the cutting board body 100, the stability of the cutting board body 100 is effectively improved.

[0060] In this embodiment, the standing cutting board also includes bolts 400, which are sequentially inserted through the fixing support 200 and the cutting board body 100, so that the fixing support 200 can rotate relative to the cutting board body 100.

[0061] Bolt 400 serves as the rotation center axis, with its axial direction perpendicular to the mounting surface 110. The fixed support member 200 has a through hole for the bolt 400 to pass through. After passing through the through hole of the fixed support member 200, the bolt 400 is threadedly connected to the cutting board body 100. Furthermore, the head of the bolt 400 holds the fixed support member 200 against the mounting surface 110 of the cutting board body 100, thereby allowing the fixed support member 200 to rotate around the bolt 400. When used in conjunction with the two adjusting support members 300 for support, its support angle can be easily adjusted.

[0062] In this embodiment, the fixed support member 200 is provided with a hollow area 210 for gripping.

[0063] The hollowed-out area 210 forms a space for a person to grip, and its shape and outline are consistent with the fixed support 200 so that the whole hand can be inserted and gripped.

[0064] The fixed support 200 not only serves as a support component when the cutting board body 100 is placed upright, but also functions as an auxiliary lifting tool. When it is necessary to move the cutting board, one can reach into the hollow area 210 and grasp the fixed support 200 to achieve stable lifting of the entire cutting board body 100. This design allows the fixed support 200 to function as a handle while providing structural support, thus expanding its functionality.

[0065] In practical applications, the cutting board body 100 often needs to be lifted from the countertop and moved before and after washing. Without a dedicated grip structure, users often have to grab the edge of the cutting board directly, which can easily lead to the risk of slipping due to the wet surface. However, by setting the hollow area 210, grip points are provided, which significantly improves the convenience during the handling process.

[0066] In summary, this application provides a standing cutting board. When the cutting board needs to be placed upright, the fixed support 200 and the two adjustable support members 300 together form a three-point support structure, creating a stable support plane, allowing the cutting board body 100 to stand steadily with its side as the support edge. When the cutting board is placed on an uneven tabletop or ground, the height of one or both adjustable support members 300 can be adjusted to compensate for the imbalance caused by the tilt of the ground, ensuring that the cutting board remains vertically stable and preventing it from tipping over.

[0067] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this application should be determined by the scope of the claims.
