Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a pot lid holder, and more particularly to a folding pot lid holder. Background Technology

[0002] Pot lid racks are commonly used in kitchens to hang pot lids at an angle, saving counter space. However, most pot lid racks on the market have a fixed structure, which means that the rack itself takes up a lot of space when not in use. This is the case with patent CN202287969U, which is titled "A New Type of Pot Lid Rack". Some have folding functions, but they do not optimize space. How to create a pot lid rack that is both foldable and space-saving is a technical problem that we need to solve now. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a folding pot lid holder.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a folding pot lid rack, characterized in that it includes a U-shaped main body, and at least one bracket for supporting the pot lid is provided on the inner side of the main body. The bracket forms a storage form and a support form by rotating and cooperating on the inner side of the main body. In the support form, the bracket rotates to the outside of the main body to support the pot lid. In the storage form, the bracket rotates to the inner side of the main body to achieve hidden storage inside the main body.

[0005] The main body forms a U-shaped structure through two columns and a crossbeam. The support is equipped with a protrusion that limits the rotation of the support. The columns are equipped with limiting holes that cooperate with the protrusion. The support can switch between storage form and support form through the cooperation of the protrusion and the limiting holes.

[0006] The cross-section of the bracket is a U-shaped structure.

[0007] The bracket is provided with a groove to facilitate supporting the handle of the pot lid.

[0008] The bottom of the main body is provided with a water receiving box for holding water. The water receiving box has flanges on both sides, and the column is provided with a limiting groove that matches the flanges. The water receiving box is fixed at the bottom of the main body by being inserted into the limiting groove by the flanges.

[0009] The outer side of the flange is provided with a protrusion to prevent the bottoms of the two columns from opening, and the columns are limited by cooperating with the protrusion.

[0010] The back of the main body, and at a position relative to the two columns, is provided with several connecting plates for connecting the two columns.

[0011] The bottom of the main body is provided with a support frame that rotates with the main body. The center of the support frame is provided with a groove for collecting water. The support frame can be rotated and fitted into a stowed and unfolded state by the inner side of the main body. The column is provided with a first slot and a second slot to limit the position of the support frame. The support frame is provided with a locking device that cooperates with the first slot and the second slot. In the unfolded state, the support frame and the main body form a T or L-shaped structure through the cooperation of the locking device and the first slot. In the stowed state, the support frame and the main body are hidden and stowed in the inner side of the main body through the cooperation of the locking device and the second slot.

[0012] The locking device includes a mounting block. The bottom of the support frame is provided with a mounting groove for accommodating the mounting block. The mounting block is fixedly positioned on the support frame through the mounting groove. The support frame is rotatably connected to the main body through the mounting block. It includes a locking block for engaging with the first and second slots. The mounting block is provided with a guide groove for the reciprocating movement of the locking block. The support frame achieves mutual conversion between the storage form and the unfolded form by rotating with the main body and switching the positions of the first and second slots through the locking block.

[0013] The bottom of the support frame is provided with a base plate that is fixedly assembled with the support frame. The base plate is provided with a through hole that cooperates with the reciprocating movement of the locking block and prevents the locking block from disengaging from the guide groove. The guide groove is provided with an elastic device that forces the locking block to move towards the first slot or the second slot.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model designs the main body and the support to be rotated together. The support can be completely stored in the storage space in the height direction of the main body by rotating, which greatly saves the space. The product is not only beautiful but also convenient to transport. This utility model also has the characteristics of simple structure, convenient processing and easy assembly, and strong practicality. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0034] Example 1; as Figures 1-7As shown, a folding pot lid holder includes a U-shaped main body 100. At least one support 200 for supporting the pot lid is provided on the inner side of the main body 100. The support 200 can be rotated within the main body 100 to form a storage mode and a support mode. In the support mode, the support 200 rotates to the outside of the main body 100 to support the pot lid. In the storage mode, the support 200 rotates to the inside of the main body 100 to be hidden within the main body 100. There can be one or more supports 200, arranged in a row. Due to the tilted angle, the upper and lower lids will not interfere with each other. Since the main body 100 has a U-shaped structure, the inner side of the main body 100 has a storage space along the height direction of the main body 100. The bracket 200 is rotatably connected to the storage space. When the bracket 200 is rotated into the storage space, the bracket 200 can be completely hidden in the storage space. The bracket 200 cannot be seen from the side of the main body 100, which is aesthetically pleasing and convenient for transportation. The bracket 200 and the mounting block 510 can be rotatably connected to the column 110 by means of rivets or pins.

[0035] The main body 100 forms a U-shaped structure through two columns 110 and a crossbeam 120. The support 200 is provided with a protrusion 210 that limits the rotation of the support 200. The column 110 is provided with a limiting hole 111 that cooperates with the protrusion 210. The support 200 realizes the mutual conversion between storage mode and support mode through the cooperation of the protrusion 210 and the limiting hole 111. The protrusion 210 is inserted into the limiting hole 111 and the mutual conversion between storage mode and support mode is realized by switching the positions of the two ends of the limiting hole 111.

[0036] The cross-section of the bracket 200 is a U-shaped structure. The cross-section of the bracket 200 can also be designed as a □-shaped structure. This application prefers a U-shaped structure. Taking into account the processing cost and structural stability, the U-shaped structure can avoid the support frame 400, allowing the support frame 400 to be completely hidden in the storage space.

[0037] The bracket 200 is provided with a groove 220 for conveniently supporting the handle of the pot lid. Since the top of the pot lid has a handle of various shapes, the fit with the groove 220 can prevent the pot lid from falling off the side of the pot lid holder, making it highly practical.

[0038] The bottom of the main body 100 is provided with a water receiving box 300 for holding water. The water receiving box 300 has flanges 310 on both sides. The column 110 is provided with a limiting groove 112 that matches the flanges 310. The water receiving box 300 is fixed at the bottom of the main body 100 by the flanges 310 being inserted into the limiting groove 112. Water droplets will generally appear on the pot lid after use. The water receiving box 300 can collect the dripping water droplets to prevent them from dripping onto the countertop and causing secondary pollution. It is highly practical.

[0039] The outer side of the flange 310 is provided with a protrusion 311 to prevent the bottom of the two columns 110 from opening. The columns 110 are limited by cooperating with the protrusion 311. Since the main body 100 is a U-shaped structure, although the aluminum and stainless steel materials have high strength, there is still a risk that the bottom of the columns 110 will open. Adding the protrusion 311 can connect the main body 100 and the water receiving box 300 to form a U-shaped structure, making the overall structure more reliable and stable.

[0040] On the back of the main body 100 and at a position between the two columns 110, there are several connecting plates 130 for connecting the two columns 110. Since the main body 100 has a U-shaped structure, the addition of connecting plates 130 can easily fix the main body 100 to the wall with nail-free adhesive or screws, which is highly practical. The connecting plates 130 can be fixed to the columns 110 by welding or other methods.

[0041] Example 2; as Figures 8-18 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that Embodiment 1 is mainly for hanging scenarios, and only a water collection box 300 is designed, so it only needs to be flat and long, and placed between two columns 110. Embodiment 2, however, is mostly used for placing on a countertop, so a support frame 400 is required. The edges of the support frame 400 are designed to be raised for placing common kitchen utensils such as spoons, spatulas, and chopsticks at an angle, preventing them from directly contacting the countertop and becoming contaminated. The bottom of the main body 100 has a support frame 400 that rotates with the main body 100. The center of the support frame 400 has a groove 410 for collecting water. The support frame 400 rotates with the inner side of the main body 100 to form a folded and unfolded form. The columns 110 have a first slot 113 and a second slot 114 for limiting the support frame 400. The support frame 400 has a locking device 500 that engages with the first slot 113 and the second slot 114. In the unfolded form, the support... The support frame 400 and the main body 100 form a T- or L-shaped structure through the cooperation of the locking device 500 and the first slot 113. In the storage mode, the support frame 400 and the main body 100 are hidden inside the main body 100 through the cooperation of the locking device 500 and the second slot 114. The L-shaped structure is mainly considered for use with the pot lid rack against the wall, which can be used on ordinary kitchen countertops, allowing the main body 100 to be closer to the wall and preventing tipping. The T-shaped structure is mainly used for placement on islands and other surfaces that are not against the wall. In this scenario, the T-shape provides inherent anti-tipping performance. The storage form is mainly used for transportation or storage inside cabinets. When needed, the locking block 520 is retracted into the guide groove 511, the support frame 400 is rotated, and the locking block 520 is released to lock into the first slot 113, thus limiting the position of the support frame 400. When needed for storage, the locking block 520 is retracted into the guide groove 511, the support frame 400 is rotated, and the locking block 520 is released to lock into the second slot 114, thus limiting the position of the support frame 400.

[0042] The locking device 500 includes a mounting block 510. The bottom of the support frame 400 has a mounting groove 420 for accommodating the mounting block 510. The mounting block 510 is fixedly positioned on the support frame 400 via the mounting groove 420. The support frame 400 is rotatably connected to the main body 100 via the mounting block 510. It includes a locking block 520 for engaging with the first slot 113 and the second slot 114. The mounting block 510 has a guide groove 511 for the reciprocating movement of the locking block 520. The support frame 400 achieves the conversion between a folded and unfolded state by rotating with the main body 100 and switching the positions of the first slot 113 and the second slot 114 via the locking block 520. The support frame 400 functions as the base of a pot lid holder. It needs to have an anti-tipping function. The mounting block 510 can be installed at the corner of the support frame 400, and then there is an extension 513 in the length and width direction of the support frame 400 to increase the structural stability of the pot lid rack in the unfolded state. The independent design of the mounting block 510 takes into account the metal material of the main body 100. In order to improve the service life, the locking device that cooperates with the main body 100 should also be made of metal. However, considering that the support frame 400 and the locking device 500 are both made of metal, it not only increases the cost but also increases the weight. Therefore, the structure of the mounting block 510 and the locking block 520 is designed. In this way, as long as the locking block 520 is made of metal, it not only ensures the service life but also saves costs and is highly practical.

[0043] The bottom of the support frame 400 is provided with a base plate 430 fixedly assembled with the support frame 400. The base plate 430 is provided with a through hole 431 that cooperates with the reciprocating movement of the locking block 520 and prevents the locking block 520 from disengaging from the guide groove 511. The guide groove 511 is provided with an elastic device 512 that forces the locking block 520 to move in the direction of the first slot 113 or the second slot 114. The bottom of the base plate 430 can be designed with an anti-slip pad 432 to improve the anti-slip performance of the pot lid rack. The opening of the through hole 431 is slightly smaller than the opening of the guide groove 511, which can limit the locking block 520 within the guide groove 511. Of course, there are also many guide strips with concave and convex structures for limiting. The structure of the through hole 431 is convenient for assembly. The elastic device 512 can be a spring structure, which is inexpensive and easy to install. The base plate 430 can be fixed to the bottom of the support frame 400 with screws.
