Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of drain basket technology, and in particular relates to a drain basket. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional drain baskets often use mesh or grid structures to suspend food relatively, separating the food and the water after rinsing. Their main function is to initially drain water from washed vegetables, fruits, and other food to avoid residual moisture affecting subsequent processing or storage.

[0003] Chinese patent application No. 202020816552.0 discloses a drain basket, including a filter basket with a plurality of filter holes evenly distributed on the filter basket, and a first outer basket fitted on the outside of the filter basket. The opposite sides of the filter basket are pivotally connected to the first outer basket, so that the filter basket can rotate relative to the first outer basket. The outer surface of the filter basket and the inner surface of the first outer basket are provided with interlocking tooth structures. The tooth structures are located in the rotation direction of the filter basket, so that the filter basket can only rotate in one direction relative to the first outer basket.

[0004] In the above technical solution, the rotation position of the filter basket is limited by a toothed structure set inside the first outer basket. However, in the above technical solution, since the toothed structure is set between the inner surface of the first outer basket and the outer surface of the filter basket, dirt and bacteria will remain inside the toothed structure after the drain basket has been used for a long time, forming a constant source of pollution and affecting the hygiene of the food after initial cleaning. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, a drain basket is provided.

[0006] This utility model is achieved using the following technical solution:

[0007] A drain basket includes a frame and a basket body, wherein the frame and the basket body are rotatable relative to each other. A pivot is fixed at the axis of rotation of the basket body. The frame body has a lateral slot for inserting the pivot, and a lateral opening is provided in the lateral slot. The lateral opening allows the inner and outer sides of the frame body to be connected so that the pivot can extend to the outside of the frame body. A limiting structure is provided on the outer surface of the frame body near the pivot, which is used in conjunction with the outer circular surface of the pivot. When the basket body is kept horizontal and the frame body rotates relative to the basket body, the limiting structure has at least one abutment surface to prevent the frame body from rotating too far.

[0008] When the frame and basket overlap, place the food into the basket and rinse with water. The water flows into the frame through the drain holes in the basket. When the user needs to pour out the water, hold the frame upright. During this process, the basket remains relatively stationary due to the weight of the food inside. The frame rotates relative to the basket, allowing the water to drain out. The dripping water then continues to flow along the edge of the frame under the influence of weight, preventing the water level from submerging the food at the bottom again. There is no need to manually hold the frame to quickly raise and lower the food to use inertia to drain it, thus achieving rapid drying of the food. The entire draining process relies on the relative movement between the frame and basket and gravity drainage, making it simple, labor-saving, and highly efficient.

[0009] Preferably, a horizontally positioned annular assembly is provided between the basket and the frame. The two ends of the annular assembly extend outward from each other in the diametrical direction. The drain hole of the basket is located below the horizontal height of the lower end face of the annular assembly. The opening of the basket extends outward from a horizontal edge. The basket is placed or snapped onto the upper axial position of the annular assembly through the horizontal edge.

[0010] The basket is supported by a ring-shaped assembly, allowing it to rotate in the XZ plane while also rotating on its own axis in the XY plane, thus achieving centrifugal rotational drainage of the food.

[0011] Preferably, the annular assembly has a rolling element at its axial upper end, and the rolling element is arranged along the circumferential direction of the annular assembly.

[0012] By using rolling elements, the sliding friction between the basket and the ring assembly is transformed into rolling friction, thereby reducing the basket's rotational resistance and making the draining process easier for the user.

[0013] Preferably, the opening of the annular kit is provided with a stop, which is located at the circumferential center of the two pivots. The stop can be placed or snapped onto the edge of the frame so that the basket and the frame are in the same plane, thereby enabling the annular kit and the basket to move together through the stop.

[0014] Among them, the stop is an arc-shaped plate or an n-shaped buckle that matches the shape of the frame edge, or a flat plate in the horizontal direction, or a protruding structure whose end extends beyond the edge of the frame.

[0015] Preferably, the outer circular surface of the frame is provided with a lateral support foot facing the stop member, which enables the frame to be placed vertically.

[0016] The tilt angle of the frame after it is erected can be controlled according to the width of the lateral support feet.

[0017] Preferably, the limiting structure includes a protrusion located at one end of the pivot that is far from each other and a limiting seat provided on the frame. The protrusion has a cam-shaped structure and protrudes outward in the radial direction of the pivot. The limiting seat is located in the opposite position to the protrusion direction of the protrusion.

[0018] Preferably, the limiting seat has a first limiting portion extending from at least one end along its width direction toward the protrusion, the first limiting portion being used to abut and limit the end point of the rotational stroke of the protrusion.

[0019] Preferably, the end of the limiting seat away from the first limiting part extends to a second limiting part, and the extension length of the second limiting part is greater than the extension length of the first limiting part. As a result, when the protrusion rotates in the direction toward the second limiting part, the side end of the protrusion abuts against the second limiting part, thereby restricting it to rotate only in the direction toward the first limiting part, thus realizing the unidirectional rotation of the frame.

[0020] Preferably, when the protrusion abuts against the first limiting part, the frame is in an upright state, the basket is in a horizontal state or a horizontally tilted state, and when the basket is in a horizontally tilted state, the end away from the frame is lower than the end close to the frame.

[0021] Preferably, the bottom of the frame is provided with bottom support feet to support it in a flat position, thereby preventing the frame and basket from wobbling when they are in a horizontal state.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] By using external protrusions and limiting seats, the dirt retention area of ​​traditional built-in grooves is avoided, thus preventing it from becoming a constant source of pollution. The relative movement between the frame and the basket and gravity drainage are used to achieve rapid drying of food. The operation is simple and labor-saving, and the drainage efficiency is high.

Detailed Implementation

[0030] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] like Figure 1 — Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses a drain basket, including a frame 11, an annular assembly 14, and a basket 20 stacked sequentially from bottom to top. Both the frame 11 and the basket 20 have upward openings. The basket 20 has an internal space 22 for holding food. The frame 11 and the basket 20 are arc-shaped shell structures, and their radial cross-sectional shapes can be V-shaped, hemispherical, arched, etc., which are not limited here. The drain holes 21 of the basket 20 are located below the horizontal height of the lower end face of the annular assembly 14. The openings of the frame 11 and the basket 20 have horizontal edges 17 extending outwards. The basket 20 is placed or snapped onto the upper axial position of the annular assembly 14 through the horizontal edges 17.

[0032] The ring-shaped kit 14 has pivots 18 extending outward from both ends in the diameter direction. The basket 20 can rotate synchronously with the ring-shaped kit 14 around the axis of the pivot 18 in the XZ plane. The frame 11 is provided with a lateral slot 111 for the pivot 18 to be inserted. The lateral slot 111 has a lateral opening 112. The lateral opening 112 can connect the inner and outer sides of the frame 11 so that the pivot 18 can be inserted into the outer side of the frame 11. The outer surface of the frame 11 near the pivot 18 is provided with a limiting structure that works in conjunction with the outer circular surface of the pivot 18.

[0033] The upper axial end of the annular assembly 14 is provided with a rolling element, which is a roller 15. The roller 15 is arranged along the circumferential direction of the annular assembly 14, so that the basket 20 can rotate relative to the frame 11 and the annular assembly 14 in the XY plane.

[0034] The opening of the ring-shaped kit 14 is provided with a stop, which is an arc-shaped tongue plate 16. By setting the curvature of the arc-shaped tongue plate 16, it can be placed or locked at the horizontal edge 17 of the frame 11. The curvature of the arc-shaped tongue plate 16 is not limited here. The arc-shaped tongue plate 16 is located at the circumferential middle position of the two side pivots 18. When the arc-shaped tongue plate 16 is placed or locked at the horizontal edge 17 of the frame 11, the basket 20 and the frame 11 are located in the same horizontal plane.

[0035] To facilitate the user's carrying of the basket 20, the inner side of the basket 20 is provided with an inwardly recessed platform 23, and a lifting member 24 extends upward from the platform 23. The lifting member 24 can be a columnar structure or an umbrella-shaped structure, which is not limited here.

[0036] The outer circular surface of the frame 11 is provided with a side support foot 12 facing the stop member. The side support foot 12 enables the frame 11 to be placed upright. The bottom of the frame 11 is provided with a bottom support foot 13 to support it in a flat position.

[0037] The limiting structure includes a protrusion 19 located at one end of the pivot 18 that is far apart from each other and a limiting seat 113 provided on the frame 11. The protrusion 19 has a cam-shaped structure and protrudes outward in the radial direction of the pivot 18. The limiting seat 113 is located on the radial upper side of the pivot 18. The protrusion direction of the protrusion 19 is opposite to that of the limiting seat 113. At least one end of the limiting seat 113 extends towards the protrusion 19 along its own width direction and has a first limiting part 1131. The first limiting part 1131 is used to abut and limit the end of the rotation stroke of the protrusion 19. The end of the limiting seat 113 that is far away from the first limiting part 1131 has a second limiting part 1132. The extension length of the second limiting part 1132 is greater than the extension length of the first limiting part 1131, thereby causing the frame 11 to rotate in a single direction of rotation. The included angle between the first limiting part 1131 and the second limiting part 1132 is the swing range of the protrusion 19.

[0038] The first limiting part 1131 is located on the side close to the arc-shaped tongue plate 16, and the second limiting part 1132 is located on the side away from the arc-shaped tongue plate 16. When the protrusion 19 abuts against the first limiting part 1131, the frame 11 is in an upright state, the basket 20 is in a horizontally tilted state, and the end of the basket 20 away from the frame 11 is lower than the end close to the frame 11.

[0039] When the frame 11 and basket 20 are in a horizontal position, they are stacked opposite each other. Food is placed in basket 20 and rinsed with water. The water after rinsing flows into the frame 11 through the drain hole 21 of basket 20. When the user needs to pour out the water after rinsing, the frame 11 is held upright and rotated around pivot 18. This causes pivot 18 to drive the protrusion 19 to swing relative to each other until the side end face of the protrusion 19 abuts against the first limiting part 1131. During this process, basket 20 maintains its initial horizontal position under the weight of the food inside. The relative rotation of frame 11 causes the accumulated water to drain out, and the resulting flow continues to be guided out along the edge of frame 11 under the weight of the water, preventing the water level from submerging the food at the bottom again. There is no need to manually hold frame 11 to quickly raise and lower the food to use inertia to dry it, thus achieving rapid drying of the food.
