Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of daily necessities technology, and in particular relates to a foldable and portable bowl holder. Background Technology

[0002] In daily life, office settings, and outdoor activities, people frequently use containers such as bowls, instant noodle cups, and small electric cookers to hold hot food, hot water, or for cooking. These containers, whether holding hot food or being heated, typically have high outer wall temperatures, and direct contact with these surfaces can easily cause burns, posing a safety hazard.

[0003] Meanwhile, existing anti-scalding tools on the market have many shortcomings: traditional heat-insulating mats can only prevent scalding when placing containers, and cannot meet the needs of hand-held transfer of containers; some anti-scalding trays with fixed handles can solve the problem of hand-held scalding, but the handles are not foldable, the overall size is large, takes up a lot of storage space, and has poor portability, making it inconvenient to carry to outdoor, office and other scenarios; in addition, most anti-scalding trays have limited compatibility and are difficult to be compatible with containers of different diameters, which limits the scope of use and causes a lot of inconvenience to users.

[0004] To address the issues of insufficient anti-scalding safety, poor portability, and limited adaptability in the existing technologies, this utility model proposes a foldable and portable bowl holder. The aim is to provide an anti-scalding bowl holder that is simple in structure, easy to operate, adaptable to various containers, and easy to carry, so as to meet the user's needs in different scenarios. Utility Model Content

[0005] This utility model provides a foldable and portable bowl holder, which aims to solve the problem that existing anti-scalding tools are difficult to balance anti-scalding safety, compatibility with multiple containers, and portability.

[0006] This utility model is implemented as follows: a foldable and portable bowl holder includes a support ring, the inner diameter of which gradually decreases from top to bottom. Two handles are symmetrically hinged to the outer wall of the support ring. The handles are arc-shaped and adapted to the arc of the support ring at a corresponding height. An elastic block is provided on the outer side of one handle, and a corresponding slot is provided on the outer side of the other handle. When the two handles are rotated outward, the elastic block is engaged in the slot, combining the two handles to form a handle.

[0007] Preferably, the lower part of the inner ring surface of the support ring is provided with an inwardly protruding annular support ring, and the inner cavity of the support ring is provided with an elastic ring detachably located above the support ring.

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0016] Please see Figure 1-2This utility model provides a technical solution: a foldable and portable bowl holder, including a support ring 1. The support ring 1 is made of a material with high temperature resistance and excellent heat insulation performance. The inner diameter of the support ring 1 gradually decreases from top to bottom. This structural design allows the support ring 1 to adapt to containers of different diameters. Whether it is a bowl, a ramen cup or a small electric cooker, as long as the lower outer diameter of the container matches the inner cavity size of the support ring 1, it can be placed stably. Moreover, the gradually changing inner diameter structure can provide lateral restraint for the container, preventing the container from shaking and shifting during use.

[0017] Two handles 2 are symmetrically hinged to the outer wall of the support ring 1. The handles 2 can rotate freely around the hinge point. The handles 2 are arc-shaped and match the arc of the corresponding height of the support ring 1. The arc structure matches the arc of the outer wall of the support ring 1, ensuring that it can fit tightly with the support ring 1 when stored, achieving the effect of folding and storage, and reducing space occupation.

[0018] One of the handles 2 has an elastic block 3 on its outer side, and the other handle 2 has a corresponding slot 4 on its outer side. When both handles 2 are rotated outwards, the elastic block 3 engages with the slot 4, combining the two handles 2 into a single handle. This prevents the two handles 2 from easily separating, making it convenient for users to hold and transfer containers containing hot food or those being heated, avoiding direct contact with the container's outer wall and preventing burns. When storage is required, simply pry open the two handles 2 and rotate them inwards to the storage position.

[0019] The free end of the elastic block 3 is provided with an arc-shaped guide surface. During the splicing process of the two handles 2, the arc-shaped guide surface can reduce the squeezing resistance of the slot 4 on the elastic block 3, making the insertion process smoother, while reducing wear during long-term use and extending service life.

[0020] Please refer to Figure 1-2 Furthermore, the lower part of the inner ring surface of the support ring 1 is provided with an inwardly protruding annular support ring 9, and the inner cavity of the support ring 1 is provided with an elastic ring detachably located on the upper part of the support ring 9.

[0021] In this embodiment, the support ring 9 and the support ring 1 are integrally formed, serving to support the lower part of the outer wall of the container, providing a stable support point for the container and preventing the container from extending excessively into the inner cavity of the support ring 1. The elastic ring is made of high-temperature resistant elastic material, and its detachable design allows it to be flexibly selected according to the container diameter. When the container diameter is slightly smaller, installing the elastic ring can fill the gap, enhance the fit between the container and the support ring 1, and improve the fixing effect; when the container diameter is suitable, the elastic ring can be removed and used directly, improving the versatility of the bowl holder.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 2 Furthermore, the inner side of the handle 2 is provided with anti-slip texture 8.

[0023] In this embodiment, the anti-slip texture 8 is a textured structure with alternating concave and convex surfaces, which can increase the friction between the hand and the handle 2. Even if the hand is sweaty or has a small amount of water on it, it can effectively prevent slipping when holding the handle, thus improving the stability and safety when holding and transferring the container.

[0024] Furthermore, a retaining strip 5 is provided on the outer ring surface of the support ring 1 below the handle 2. The top of the support ring 1 is turned outward to form a receiving groove 7 for receiving the handle 2 between it and the retaining strip 5. An elastic strip 6 is provided on the top of the retaining strip 5 from the outside to the inside. The height of the elastic strip 6 gradually increases from the outside to the inside. When the handle 2 is rotated inward into the receiving groove 7, the elastic strip 6 presses against the bottom of the handle 2 to fix the handle 2 to the receiving groove 7.

[0025] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the stop strip 5 is used to limit the downward movement of the handle 2 when it is stored. It cooperates with the outward-folding structure at the top of the support ring 1 to form a receiving groove 7, providing storage space for the handle 2. This makes the overall structure of the bowl holder compact and easy to carry after storage. The elastic strip 6 is made of elastic rubber and its height gradually increases from the outside to the inside. When the handle 2 is rotated inward to insert into the receiving groove 7, the elastic strip 6 can gradually adhere to the bottom of the handle 2 and generate elastic pressure, thereby firmly fixing the handle 2 in the receiving groove 7 and preventing the handle 2 from shaking randomly when carried or stored. When the handle 2 is pried outward, the elastic strip 6 is squeezed and deformed, which does not affect the smooth rotation of the handle 2.

[0026] The top of the support ring 1 has two symmetrically recessed notches 10.

[0027] The notch 10 provides space for force to be applied when the container is placed in the support ring 1. When the container is placed in the support ring 1, the fingers can be inserted into the notch 10 to support the edge of the container and easily take the container out, avoiding inconvenience caused by the container being too tightly attached to the inner wall of the support ring 1.

[0028] When not in use, the two handles 2 are stored in the receiving slots 7, and the elastic strips 6 are pressed against the bottom of the handles 2 to fix them in place. The bowl holder is small in size and easy to carry and store.

[0029] In use, first pull both handles 2 outwards. The handles 2 rotate around the hinge point, disengaging from the receiving groove 7. Rotate until the free ends of the two handles 2 are aligned, and the elastic block 3 is inserted into the corresponding slot 4, completing the handle assembly. Then, place the bowl holder on a flat surface. Depending on the container's diameter, choose whether to install the elastic ring. Align the bottom of the container with the top of the support ring 1 and slowly insert it until the outer wall of the container contacts the support ring 9, achieving stable support for the container. Next, hot food or hot water can be poured into the container, or the container such as an electric cooker can be heated. The user holds the assembled handle to transfer the container. The anti-slip texture 8 enhances grip stability and prevents slipping and burns. After use, gently pry open the two handles 2 to disengage the elastic block from the slot 4. Rotate the two handles 2 inwards to embed them into the receiving groove 7. The elastic strip 6 automatically tightens and secures, completing the storage.

[0030] This bowl holder achieves portability with its foldable handle, and the handle can be quickly assembled with elastic blocks. Combined with the holder ring and elastic band, it improves the adaptability and stability of containers. The concave design makes it easy to put in and take out. The overall structure is simple, easy to operate, and has a significant anti-scalding effect. It is suitable for various scenarios such as home, office, and outdoor camping.

[0031] like Figure 3 The image shows the effect of the bowl holder when used with an electric cooker. The bowl holder is placed on the heating element 11, and the cookware 12 is placed inside the bowl holder for heating and cooking.

[0032] like Figure 4 The image shown is an illustration of the bowl holder in use.

[0033] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
