Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of household stove technology, and in particular to a cookware stabilization auxiliary device to prevent cookware from slipping and tipping, and an anti-tipping cookware including the above device. Background Technology

[0002] In the current market, cookware, especially Chinese round-bottomed iron woks, has long suffered from stability issues on cooktops such as gas stoves and induction cooktops. Due to the traditional design of round-bottomed woks, their contact area with flat cooktops is relatively small. During cooking, the wok is prone to slipping or even tipping over due to wobbling, external force, or a shift in the center of gravity of the food inside, posing safety hazards and affecting cooking efficiency. Existing solutions address the wok itself by adding textures or grooves to the bottom, increasing friction between the wok and the cooktop, reducing or preventing slippage. While these designs have some effect in practical applications, they don't achieve the ideal result. Ultimately, wok slippage is caused by a small cooktop area, a high center of gravity, and an off-center center of gravity.

[0003] refer to Figure 1 When the pot itself is relatively heavy, and its center of gravity rests steadily within the range of the pot rack, the first type of slippage usually occurs. The solid line represents the ideal state of the pot, while the dashed line represents the state where the pot slips. Currently, most solutions on the market address this slippage problem. For example, adding patterns to the bottom of the pot to increase friction between the bottom and the rack; or incorporating grooves on the bottom of the pot to securely hold it in place and prevent slippage.

[0004] However, as consumers favor lightweight cookware, the pots are designed to be even lighter, with the center of gravity shifting more towards the handle. (Reference) Figure 2 When the pot's center of gravity is close to the contact point between the pot support and the pot body, the pot is prone to tipping over, similar to the second type of slippage. The solid line represents the ideal state of the pot, while the dashed line represents the slippage state. Current technology offers few solutions to this type of slippage problem. Summary of the Invention

[0005] One of the objectives of this invention is to provide a cookware stabilization auxiliary device that uses an arc-shaped plate to provide a reverse support torque to prevent the cookware from tipping over.

[0006] The second objective of this utility model is to provide an anti-tipping cookware that includes the aforementioned stabilizing auxiliary device.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above problems is: a pot stabilizing auxiliary device for supporting the pot body on the stove. The pot body has a handle and includes a protective plate unit. The protective plate unit is disposed on the stove and close to the handle. The protective plate unit includes an arc-shaped plate and a connector disposed at the bottom end of the arc-shaped plate for connecting to the stove.

[0008] A further preferred technical solution is that the arc-shaped plate has an end point, the height of which is higher than the center of gravity of the pot, and the center of gravity of the pot is located between the end point and the stove.

[0009] A further preferred technical solution is that the arc-shaped plate also has two side endpoints, the middle of the two side endpoints extends toward the far end of the handle, and the arc-shaped plate converges from top to bottom toward the stove side to form an arc-shaped surface toward the stove.

[0010] A further preferred technical solution is that the arc-shaped plate is configured to form a surface contact with the side of the pot body.

[0011] A further preferred technical solution is that the top of the arc-shaped plate is configured to support the pot body.

[0012] A further preferred technical solution includes a support unit, a lifting unit, a locking unit, and a fixing unit, wherein:

[0013] The support unit has a support surface that abuts against the handle provided on the pot body;

[0014] The lifting unit is located at the bottom of the support unit. The lifting unit has a fixed component and a movable component. The movable component can be movably installed on the fixed component and has multiple fixed positions with different heights.

[0015] The locking unit is mounted on the movable component and moves freely along the axis of the movable component. The range of free movement along the axis of the movable component covers the states of the locking unit abutting against the fixed component and the states of not abutting against it.

[0016] The fixing unit is set on a fixed plane and fixedly connected to the fixing component.

[0017] A further preferred technical solution is that: the fixing component includes a fixing cylinder and an upper mating ring disposed at the top opening of the fixing cylinder; the movable component includes a mating rod, which is threadedly connected to the upper mating ring.

[0018] A further preferred technical solution is that the support unit (1) includes a top fork, and the support surface is the top surface of the top fork and is concave in the middle.

[0019] A further preferred technical solution is that the lower end of the top fork is provided with an internal thread groove that is screwed to the top of the connecting rod.

[0020] A further preferred technical solution is that: the fixing unit includes a base and a fixing hole disposed in the base; the fixing component also includes a lower internal threaded ring disposed at the bottom end of the fixing cylinder; the fixing unit also includes a fixing bolt passing through the fixing hole and screwed into the lower internal threaded ring.

[0021] A further preferred technical solution is that the locking unit includes a wing nut screwed onto the docking rod.

[0022] A further preferred technical solution is that: the handle is provided with a storage slot unit, and a storage rack unit is rotatably disposed on the side of the storage slot unit near the pot body;

[0023] The storage rack unit unfolds outward from the storage slot unit, and its bottom is supported on the stovetop.

[0025] In summary, this utility model has the following advantages:

[0026] 1. This utility model features a protective plate unit with its arc-shaped end point higher than the center of gravity of the pot, forming a mechanical fulcrum. When the pot tilts due to a shift in the center of gravity or external forces, the arc-shaped plate provides a reverse supporting torque, preventing the pot from overturning past the critical point.

[0027] 2. The arc-shaped plate design of this utility model matches the curvature of the outer wall of the round-bottomed pot, forming a surface contact rather than a point contact, ensuring a tight fit.

[0028] 3. The arc-shaped plate of this utility model can also reflect the heat of the stove, reduce the heat transfer to the handle side, and improve the comfort of high-temperature operation.

[0029] 4. The curved plate of this utility model also allows users to place the pot on the curved plate as a fulcrum and easily complete the flipping action by pressing down the handle, reducing the difficulty of operation. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0046] Regarding the situation described in the background art where the pot's center of gravity tilts when it is close to the contact point between the pot support and the pot body, providing some support to the pot body can effectively reduce the tilting. Based on this, the core technical solution of this disclosure lies in providing a pot-protecting device to support the pot body.

[0047] The present invention will be specifically illustrated below with reference to embodiments:

[0048] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.

[0049] Example 1:

[0050] refer to Figures 5-9 A cookware stabilizing auxiliary device includes a protective plate unit 5, which is disposed on the side of the cookware near the handle 98 of the cookware body 99; the protective plate unit 5 includes an arc-shaped plate 5.1 and a connector 5.2 disposed at the bottom end of the arc-shaped plate 5.1 and used to connect the cookware 96.

[0051] The point of the curved plate 5.1 closest to the handle 98 is the end point 5.3. The height of the end point 5.3 is higher than the height of the pot's center of gravity 95, and the pot's center of gravity 95 is located between the end point 5.3 and the stove 96.

[0052] A key feature of the curved plate 5.1 is its curved profile, with its concave surface matching the curvature of the outer wall of the pot body 99 with its round bottom, ensuring a tight fit between the contact points and the sides of the pot body. Another key feature of the curved plate 5.1 is its spatial placement during installation; it is installed on the side of the cooktop 96 closest to the handle 98, where the risk of center of gravity shift is highest. The bottom of the curved plate 5.1 is fixed to the cooktop 96 via connector 5.2, forming a stable support base.

[0053] Another typical feature of the curved plate 5.1 is that the height of its endpoint 5.3 is higher than the height of the pot's center of gravity 95. Chinese utility model patent CN209655379U discloses a similar cookware fixing bracket for a gas stove, with an outer fixing bracket that functions similarly to the curved plate 5.1. However, because it is rotatably connected to the support frame, its height is relatively small. Specifically, for some lightweight pots with a relatively high center of gravity 95, the height of the outer fixing bracket is lower than the pot's center of gravity 95. This causes the outer fixing bracket to not only fail to counteract the tilting moment in the second sliding pot mode, but also to become a fulcrum during the tilting process, allowing the pot 99 to directly pass over the outer fixing bracket and continue tilting, resulting in the failure of the outer fixing bracket's function. In the embodiment of this disclosure, the height of the endpoint 5.3 of the curved plate 5.1 exceeds the height of the pot's center of gravity 95 to effectively counteract the tilting moment. Specifically, refer to... Figure 1 The height difference between endpoint 5.3 and the center of gravity of the pot is 95°, which is h. Since the height of endpoint 5.3 is higher than the height of the center of gravity of the pot, h is always a positive value.

[0054] In this design, "endpoint" refers to the highest or top point of the curved plate, "stove" refers to the supporting surface of the stove, such as the pot rack of a gas stove or the countertop of an induction cooker, and "pot center of gravity" refers to the center of mass of the pot, including the pot body and its contents, i.e., the point of application of gravity. "Pot center of gravity located between the endpoint and the stove" means that, in the vertical direction, the pot's center of gravity is higher than the stove surface but lower than the endpoint of the curved plate. The order from bottom to top is: stove surface, pot center of gravity, and then the endpoint of the curved plate. This design aims to ensure that the device effectively prevents the pot from tipping over. In the second sliding mode, when the pot tilts due to external force or a shift in the center of gravity, the side of the pot will contact the curved plate. Since the endpoint of the curved plate is higher than the pot's center of gravity, the support point of the curved plate on the pot will be above the center of gravity, thus generating a counter-torque to resist the pot's tendency to tip over.

[0055] Furthermore, the shape of the curved plate 5.1 needs to conform to the contour of the pot body 99 so that the pot body 99 will not tip over in the front-back or lateral directions after being placed against the curved plate 5.1. Based on this, the curved plate 5.1 also has two side endpoints 5.4, the middle of which extends toward the distal end of the handle 98, and the curved plate 5.1 converges from top to bottom toward the stove 96 to form an arc-shaped surface toward the stove 96.

[0056] Referring again to the Chinese utility model patent with announcement number CN209655379U, the outer fixing bracket is relatively narrow, and its contact with the pot body 99 is almost a point contact. Therefore, the pot body 99 can hardly provide protection when tilted. Even if multiple brackets are set, they only form multiple point contacts, and it cannot be guaranteed that multiple points are in contact with the pot body 99 at the same time. Thus, when the pot body 99 tilts, there is a certain acceleration that causes it to collide with the outer fixing bracket set on the side, which was not originally in contact with the pot body 99. After the impact, it is very likely to pass directly over the outer fixing bracket, which poses a risk of limit failure.

[0057] refer to Figure 5 In this embodiment, the two end points 5.4 of the arc-shaped plate 5.1, together with the extension of the end point 5.3, form a wrap angle of 135° to 180°, covering the high-incidence area of ​​pot handle tilting. The arc surface towards the center provides centripetal constraint force, converting the disturbance energy generated by the inertia of the pot tilting into potential energy returning to the center of the stove. Furthermore, the arc design can adapt to pots of different diameters, ensuring that a section of the arc-shaped plate 5.1 is in contact with the pot body 99 throughout the entire tilting process.

[0058] In addition, the shape of the arc plate 5.1 can also reflect the heat generated by the stove 96, preventing heat from being transferred to the handle 98 side, thus improving the experience for users who are afraid of the high temperature of the stove 96.

[0059] Furthermore, the arc-shaped plate 5.1 is configured to form a surface contact with the side of the pot body 99.

[0060] Specifically, "surface contact" refers to the contact and support between the arc-shaped plate 5.1 and the outer wall of the tilted pot body 99 occurring over a large area, rather than at one or more isolated points. This structure is achieved through curvature matching; that is, the concave surface of the arc-shaped plate 5.1 is specially designed so that its radius of curvature is approximately the same as or matches the radius of curvature of the side wall of the round-bottomed pot body 99 near the lower middle part of the pot body. When the pot body 99 tilts towards the distal end of the handle 98, the side of the pot body 99 can smoothly conform to the arc surface of the arc-shaped plate 5.1, thereby achieving a large-area contact.

[0061] Furthermore, the top of the arc-shaped plate 5.1 is configured to support the pot body 99.

[0062] Specifically, the shape of the arc plate 5.1 also assists the user in tossing the food. By placing the pot body 99 on the arc plate 5.1 and using the contact point between the arc plate 5.1 and the pot body 99 as a fulcrum, the tossing operation can be achieved by simply pressing down on the handle 98. This means that the structural strength, spatial position, and arc-shaped contour of the arc plate (5.1) enable a specific area on its upper part (i.e., the "top") to safely and stably bear the weight of the pot body (99) and part of its contents, and to serve as a reliable pivot point. For example, the arc structure near the end point (5.3) allows the side wall of the pot body (99) to naturally and stably rest against the arc-shaped top area when the user intentionally pulls the pot body (99) backward and slightly lifts the handle. The matching of the arc structure with the outer wall of the pot body (99) ensures that a stable, linear, or planar contact area is formed at this time, thereby preventing the pot body (99) from accidentally sliding on the fulcrum. The top of the arc plate 5.1 should also have a certain thickness, for example, not less than 5 mm.

[0063] Example 2:

[0064] Regarding the situation described in the background art where the pot tilts when its center of gravity is close to the contact point between the pot support and the pot body, supporting the area near the center can stabilize the pot. Based on this, the core of the technical solution of this disclosure is to support the front end of the pot handle to enhance the stability of the pot. This is applicable to various stovetops and pots with handles, improving the safety and convenience of cooking operations.

[0065] refer to Figures 3-4 A cookware stabilizing auxiliary device includes a support unit 1, a lifting unit 2, a locking unit 3, and a fixing unit 4, wherein:

[0066] The support unit 1 has a support surface that abuts against the bottom surface of the handle 98 provided on the pot body 99;

[0067] The lifting unit 2 is located at the bottom of the support unit 1. The lifting unit 2 has a fixed component and a movable component. The movable component is located on the fixed component and moves freely along the axis of the fixed component. The range of free movement along the fixed component covers the state of the support surface abutting against the bottom surface of the handle 98 and the state of not abutting.

[0068] The locking unit 3 is mounted on the movable component and can move freely along the axis of the movable component. The range of free movement along the axis of the movable component covers the states in which the locking unit 3 abuts against the fixed component and the states in which the abutment is released.

[0069] The fixing unit 4 is installed on the stove 97 and is fixedly connected to the fixing component.

[0070] The core function of support unit 1 is to provide direct support. Located at the top of the device, it is specifically designed to directly contact and support the bottom of the cookware handle, i.e., the downward-facing side. By providing additional support below the front end of the handle through its support surface, it effectively prevents the pot from tipping over or sliding due to the handle's center of gravity being too heavy and the pot's center of gravity being close to the edge of the pot rack—the second type of slippage described in the background art. Essentially, it increases the effective support area for the pot's center of gravity, significantly improving its stability.

[0071] The core function of the lifting unit 2 is to adjust the support height, and it consists of a fixed component and a movable component. The movable component can move up and down along the axial direction, usually vertically, on the fixed component. This up-and-down movement allows the support surface of the support unit 1 connected to its top to contact the bottom surface of the pot handle, providing support, i.e., in the "abutment" state. It can also move downwards, away from the bottom surface of the pot handle, allowing the pot to be picked up freely or the device to be discontinued, i.e., in the "cancellation" state. The lifting unit 2 addresses the need to adapt to stovetops 97 of different heights, or to gas stove brackets of different heights, or to different pots with different bottom curvatures or handle installation positions, or to meet the user's needs for support force, such as slightly higher or lower support. Fundamentally, the lifting unit 2 achieves versatility and flexibility for the device.

[0072] The core function of locking unit 3 is to fix the lifting height. Specifically, it is installed on the movable component of the lifting unit and can move within a certain range along the axis of the movable component, such as by rotation or up and down movement. After the user adjusts the support unit to the ideal height by operating the lifting unit, the locking unit is moved to abut against the fixed component of the lifting unit, for example, by tightening it with threads, thereby locking the movable component and preventing it from sliding down during use. Essentially, locking unit 3 ensures that the support unit 1 is stable and does not shift when providing support. Without the locking function, the support unit may slide down when subjected to the pressure of the pot, losing its support effect or becoming unreliable. When it is necessary to adjust the height of the support unit 1, the locking unit is moved to release the abutment, and the lifting height can be adjusted again.

[0073] The core function of the fixing unit 4 is to fix the device on the stove 97, specifically by directly connecting it to the fixing component of the lifting unit and providing a method to securely install / fix it at a certain position on the stove 97, such as fixing it to the edge of the countertop, clamping it on the stove bracket, using strong magnetic attraction, or adapting it to the reserved interface of some stove 97. In this embodiment, the fixing method of the fixing unit (4) is not limited.

[0074] Furthermore, the movement of the fixed and movable components should be as simple as possible. Therefore, the fixed component includes a fixed cylinder 2.1 and an upper connecting ring 2.2 disposed at the top opening of the fixed cylinder 2.1; the movable component includes a connecting rod 2.3 screwed onto the upper connecting ring 2.2. By rotating the connecting rod 2.3 relative to the fixed cylinder 2.1, and through the screwed connection between the connecting rod 2.3 and the upper connecting ring 2.2, the fixed cylinder 2.1 and the connecting rod 2.3 can move relative to each other in the vertical direction. The fixed cylinder 2.1 serves as the main support structure of the device, and its material possesses sufficient strength and rigidity to ensure reliable support.

[0075] Furthermore, users typically desire that the support surface of the support unit 1 fits the handle 98 more closely to improve the stability of the support. Based on this, the support unit 1 includes a top fork 1.1, with the support surface being the top surface of the top fork 1.1 and having a downward concave shape in the middle. The concavity fits the handle 98 closely, preventing the handle 98 from shifting laterally.

[0076] Furthermore, users typically prefer that the top fork 1.1 and the lifting unit 2 be detachable, so that if the top fork 1.1 is damaged during use, or if a corresponding specification needs to be replaced for different handles 98, this is possible. Therefore, the lower end of the top fork 1.1 has an internal threaded groove 1.2 that screws onto the top of the connecting rod 2.3. The screwing and loosening process on the connecting rod 2.3 can be achieved by rotating the top fork 1.1.

[0077] Furthermore, users typically desire a detachable connection between the fixing unit 4 and the fixing component, i.e., the fixing cylinder 2.1, so that the fixing cylinder 2.1 can be removed when not in use, avoiding impacting the usable space of the stovetop 97. Based on this, the fixing unit 4 includes a base 4.1 and a fixing hole 4.2 at the top of the base 4.1; the fixing component also includes a lower internal threaded ring 2.4 at the bottom opening of the fixing cylinder 2.1; the fixing unit 4 also includes a fixing bolt 4.3 that passes through the fixing hole 4.2 and is screwed into the lower internal threaded ring 2.4. The fixing hole 4.2 and the lower internal threaded ring 2.4 have the same specifications. The wall of the fixing hole 4.2 can be smooth or have the same thread specification as the lower internal threaded ring 2.4. During installation, first align the fixing hole 4.2 with the lower internal threaded ring 2.4, and then screw the fixing bolt 4.3 through the fixing hole 4.2 into the lower internal threaded ring 2.4, thus completing the detachable installation.

[0078] Furthermore, users typically desire that the locking method of locking unit 3 be as simple as possible and compatible with the original functions of docking rod 2.3. Based on this, locking unit 3 includes a wing nut 3.1 screwed onto docking rod 2.3. The wing nut 3.1 engages with the threaded connection of docking rod 2.3. After adjusting the height of docking rod 2.3, tightening the wing nut utilizes its force against the end face of the fixing cylinder 2.1 to lock the position of docking rod 2.3, preventing loosening of the screw and thus fixing the relative position of docking rod 2.3 and fixing cylinder 2.1. The operation is simple and requires no additional tools.

[0079] Example 3:

[0080] Regarding the situation described in the background art where the pot tilts when its center of gravity is close to the contact point between the pot support and the pot body, providing support near this center can stabilize the pot. Based on this, the core of the technical solution of this disclosure lies in improving the pot handle itself to have a front-end support structure, enhancing the stability of the pot, making it suitable for various stovetops, and improving the safety and convenience of cooking operations.

[0081] refer to Figures 10-13 A cookware stabilizing auxiliary device includes a handle 98 provided on the cookware body 99, a storage groove unit 6 provided on the handle 98, and a storage rack unit 7 rotatably disposed on the side of the storage groove unit 6 near the cookware body 99.

[0082] After the storage rack unit 7 unfolds outward from the storage slot unit 6, its bottom end is supported on the stove 97.

[0083] The storage slot unit 6 is a groove-shaped structure set on the handle 98 of the cookware, mainly used to accommodate and store the storage rack unit 7. When the cookware stabilizing auxiliary device is not in use, that is, when no additional support is required, the storage rack unit 7 can be folded and completely stored in the storage slot unit 6. After storage, the handle remains flat, aesthetically pleasing, and portable, without interfering with normal cooking operations. In a preferred embodiment, the storage slot unit 6 allows the storage rack unit 7 to be fully embedded in the cookware when not in use.

[0084] The storage rack unit 7 is a rotatable support structure that is rotatably positioned on the side of the storage slot unit 6 near the pot body 99, specifically near the connection between the handle and the pot body. Its primary function is to act as a front-end support structure, providing a physical fulcrum to enhance the stability of the pot. When needed, for example, when the pot's center of gravity is close to the pot rack contact point, the user can rotate and unfold the storage rack unit 7 from the storage slot unit 6, extending it downwards to contact the surface of the cooktop 97. In this way, the storage rack unit 7 forms an additional support point in front of or to the side of the pot, effectively resisting overturning moments and preventing the pot from sliding or tipping over.

[0085] The storage slot unit 6 does not require a limiting device for the storage rack unit 7. When the user uses it, the handle 98 can also grip the storage rack unit 7, thus confining it within the storage slot unit 6.

[0086] Furthermore, users desire greater stability for the storage rack unit 7 during support. Based on this, the storage slot unit 6 includes a support rod slot 6.1 and a support base slot 6.2 located on the side of the support rod slot 6.1 away from the pot body 99; the storage rack unit 7 includes a support rod 7.1 and a support base 7.2 located at the bottom end of the support rod 7.1; when the storage rack unit 7 is stored in the storage slot unit 6, the support rod 7.1 is stored in the support rod slot 6.1 and the support base 7.2 is stored in the support base slot 6.2.

[0087] The support rod groove 6.1 serves to house the support rod 7.1. As a dedicated storage space for the support rod 7.1, its shape strictly matches the cross-sectional profile of the support rod 7.1, including but not limited to rectangular, circular, or irregular shapes, to prevent the support rod from wobbling during storage and to avoid damage or accidental deformation caused by exposure. Furthermore, when the support rod is extended, the groove wall of the support rod groove 6.1 can serve as a rigid base for the rotation axis.

[0088] A portion of the support base groove 6.2 communicates with the support rod groove 6.1, typically forming an "L" shape with the side cross-section of the support rod groove 6.1 to accommodate the larger support base 7.2. The support base 7.2 directly provides a large contact area and high friction, providing anti-overturning force and directly suppressing the second type of pot sliding mode.

[0089] Furthermore, users desire that the support rod 7.1 remain in the support rod groove 6.1 when the handle 98 is not being held, so that users do not need to retract the support rod 7.1 into the support rod groove 6.1 every time they hold the handle 98. Based on this, the device also includes a storage sleeve 8 that fits onto the handle 98.

[0090] The core function of the storage sleeve 8 is to solve the problem of the support rod 7.1 falling out of the support rod groove 6.1 when the handle 98 is not gripped, achieving manual operation through mechanical restraint. Specifically, when the support rod 7.1 is stored in the support rod groove 6.1, the storage sleeve 8 is fitted onto the outside of the handle. Through a tight-fitting structure, including but not limited to inner wall ribs, elastic buckles, or silicone rings, the support rod 7.1 is pressed against the area of ​​the support rod groove 6.1, preventing it from sliding out of the groove due to gravity, thus eliminating the need for manual adjustment before each gripping of the handle.

[0091] Furthermore, the user desires that the support rod 7.1 can remain in the support rod groove 6.1 when the handle 98 is not held, without the need for additional devices such as a storage sleeve 8 to restrict the support rod 7.1. Based on this, a groove locking member 6.3 is provided in the support base groove 6.2, and a base locking member 7.3 for locking the groove locking member 6.3 is provided on the support base 7.2.

[0092] The slotted connector 6.3 and the base connector 7.3 interlock to limit the position of the support rod 7.1. Typically, this function is achieved through a mechanical interlocking structure, which essentially utilizes geometric locking to achieve "self-locking storage." The slotted connector 6.3 acts as a rigid locking point on the inner wall of the base slot 6.2, providing a mechanical anchoring position; the base connector 7.3 acts as a matching locking tongue on the base 7.2, forming a complementary structure with the slotted connector 6.3. (Reference) Figure 6 The paper presents a specific form of the slotted connector 6.3 and the base connector 7.3. The slotted connector 6.3 is an elastic protrusion, and the base connector 7.3 is a concave point that forms a complementary structure with the elastic protrusion. The elastic protrusion uses the clamping force generated by elastic deformation to fix the concave point, thereby fixing the support rod 7.1.

[0093] Furthermore, users wish to avoid any impact injuries caused by the connection between the support rod 7.1 and the support base 7.2. Therefore, the connection between the support rod 7.1 and the support base 7.2 has a rounded corner structure.
