Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cooking equipment technology, and in particular to a kitchen utensil. Background Technology

[0002] Spatulas, ladles, and slotted spoons are essential cooking tools in daily life. Currently, for ease of storage, most of these utensils have hanging holes at the end of their handles. When hanging them for storage, the utensils are usually suspended upside down on hooks with the handles on top and the functional parts (such as spatula heads and spoon heads) on the bottom.

[0003] However, this common hanging storage method presents significant hygiene risks. Specifically, when hanging the device after washing, water residue on the handles and functional parts will flow downwards due to gravity, eventually accumulating in the lowest functional parts. This area is therefore difficult to dry quickly, creating a damp environment that easily breeds bacteria and produces water stains.

[0004] Furthermore, routine cleaning typically focuses on the functional parts that come into direct contact with food, while the hanging holes at the end of the handles are often overlooked and not thoroughly cleaned due to their small size and concealed structure. When kitchen utensils are hung upside down, unwashed grease and other contaminants accumulated in the hanging holes drip down with residual water, directly contaminating the cleaned functional parts and causing secondary pollution. This problem is particularly pronounced on kitchen utensils such as soup ladles and complex slotted spoons, making them high-risk areas for bacterial growth.

[0005] In addition, from the perspective of user experience, when taking out and putting away kitchen utensils upside down, users often need to flip their wrists or switch hands to adjust the function head to a usable position. The movements are not natural and smooth, which affects the efficiency of operation.

[0006] In conclusion, the existing hanging design of kitchen utensils has obvious defects in terms of hygiene and urgently needs to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0007] This application aims to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the related art. To this end, this application proposes a kitchen utensil in which the hanging part is set near the functional part, and the center of gravity of the entire kitchen utensil is biased towards the hand-held part away from the functional part. When the kitchen utensil is suspended through the hanging part, under the action of gravity, the kitchen utensil will naturally present a stable posture with the hand-held part below and the functional part above, thus solving the obvious defects in the hygiene of the existing hanging design of kitchen utensils.

[0008] A kitchen utensil according to an embodiment of this application includes: The main body of the kitchen utensil includes a functional part and a hand-held part, wherein the hand-held part is connected to the functional part; A suspension part is provided at least one of the functional part and the hand-held part, and the suspension part is located at one end of the kitchen utensil body closer to the functional part. The center of gravity of the kitchen utensil body is located on the side closer to the hand-held part, and there is a distance between the nearest point of the suspension part and the center of gravity. When suspending kitchen utensils via the suspension part, the handle part is located below and the functional part is located above.

[0009] According to the embodiments of this application, the kitchenware, by placing the hanging part near the functional part, shifts the center of gravity of the entire kitchenware towards the handheld part, which is farther from the functional part. When the kitchenware is suspended by the hanging part, under the influence of gravity, it naturally assumes a stable posture with the handheld part below and the functional part above. Since the higher functional part is no longer the lowest point, residual water after washing will naturally flow to and accumulate at the end of the lower handheld part due to gravity, thus completely avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the functional part. This not only effectively prevents bacterial growth and water stains caused by water accumulation but also significantly accelerates the drying speed of the functional part. Even if a small amount of dirt remains on the hanging part, it will not contaminate the upper functional part that directly contacts food. This fundamentally cuts off the contamination path from the hanging part to the functional part, greatly improving the hygiene and safety of the kitchenware.

Moreover, without contradiction, those skilled in the art can combine and integrate the different embodiments or examples described in this specification, as well as the features of different embodiments or examples.

[0044] The following is combined with Figures 1-15 This invention describes the kitchen utensil.

[0045] According to an embodiment of this application, a kitchen utensil is provided. Please refer to... Figure 1 The kitchenware includes: a main body 10, including a functional part 11 and a handheld part 12, the handheld part 12 being connected to the functional part 11; a hanging part 20, disposed at least at one of the functional part 11 and the handheld part 12, with the hanging part 20 located at one end of the main body 10 closer to the functional part 11, the center of gravity of the main body 10 being located on the side closer to the handheld part 12, and a gap between the nearest point of the hanging part 20 and the center of gravity; when the kitchenware is suspended by the hanging part 20, the handheld part 12 is located below and the functional part 11 is located above.

[0046] According to the embodiments of this application, the kitchenware, by placing the hanging part 20 near the functional part 11, shifts the center of gravity of the entire kitchenware towards the handheld part 12, which is farther from the functional part 11. When the kitchenware is suspended by the hanging part 20, under the influence of gravity, the kitchenware naturally assumes a stable posture with the handheld part 12 below and the functional part 11 above. Since the higher functional part 11 is no longer the lowest point, residual water after washing will naturally flow to and accumulate at the end of the lower handheld part 12 due to gravity, thus completely avoiding the problem of water accumulation in the functional part 11. This not only effectively prevents bacterial growth and water stains caused by water accumulation but also significantly accelerates the drying speed of the functional part 11. Even if a small amount of dirt remains on the hanging part 20, it will not contaminate the functional part 11, which is directly in contact with food. This fundamentally cuts off the contamination path from the hanging part 20 to the functional part 11, greatly improving the hygiene and safety of the kitchenware.

[0047] Understandably, the kitchen utensils in this application are easier to pick up and use, and can be used immediately without having to flip them over or turn your hand over to pick them up, as is the case with existing methods.

[0048] It should be noted that the center of gravity of the main body 10 of the kitchen utensil is located on the side close to the handle 12. The center of gravity may be located on the handle 12 or outside the handle 12 but close to it.

[0049] In some possible embodiments, in addition to the natural effect of gravity causing the handheld part 12 to be located below and the functional part 11 to be located above, the handheld part 12 can also be located below and the functional part 11 to be located above by means of external blocking members or magnetic attraction.

[0050] According to one embodiment of this application, refer to Figure 1 The suspension part 20 is located at one end of the functional part 11 near the hand-held part 12.

[0051] According to one embodiment of this application, refer to Figures 2 to 5 The suspension part 20 is located at one end of the hand-held part 12 near the functional part 11.

[0052] According to one embodiment of this application, refer to Figures 6 to 10 The suspension part 20 is located at the connection between the handheld part 12 and the functional part 11.

[0053] It should be noted that when the hand-held part 12 and the functional part 11 are integrally formed, the suspension part 20 can be provided at the transition between the hand-held part 12 and the functional part 11, or it can be provided on the hand-held part 12, or it can be provided on the functional part 11.

[0054] According to one embodiment of this application, the suspension portion 20 is at least one of a suspension hole, an outwardly protruding suspension hook, and an inwardly recessed suspension groove.

[0055] In some possible embodiments, the main body 10 of the kitchen utensil is made of a thinner material, and the hanging part 20 is a structure with one side recessed and the other side protruding on the main body of the kitchen utensil. The specific structure can be achieved by stamping, and of course, it can also be achieved by other means, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0056] According to one embodiment of this application, refer to Figures 2 to 5 When the hanging part 20 has hanging holes, the hanging holes can be one of the following shapes: teardrop, round, elliptical, or polygonal.

[0058] Of course, in addition to regular shapes, hanging holes can also be irregular shapes, which will not be elaborated here.

[0059] Understandably, the hanging part 20 is located at one end of the main body 10 of the cookware near the functional part 11. When the hanging part 20 is a hanging hole, the depth of the hanging hole is relatively thin, making it very easy to clean. This is significantly different from the small and deep hanging holes on the handles of traditional cookware.

[0060] According to one embodiment of this application, when the hanging part 20 is a hook, the hook is one of a single-sided lug or a multi-sided lug. This shape is beneficial for the stable hanging of kitchen utensils and prevents them from shaking.

[0061] According to one embodiment of this application, when the hanging part 20 is a hanging groove, the hanging groove is one of the following shapes: teardrop-shaped, circular, elliptical, or polygonal. Such a shape is beneficial for the stable hanging of kitchen utensils and prevents them from shaking.

[0062] Similarly, in some possible embodiments, the suspension groove can also be a teardrop-shaped, circular, elliptical, or polygonal extended irregular structure, for example, the suspension groove can be an oblong shape.

[0063] Of course, in addition to regular shapes, hanging slots can also be irregular shapes, which will not be elaborated on here.

[0064] According to one embodiment of this application, the hanging part is further provided with a magnetic adsorption element; the kitchenware can be adsorbed and fixed to the external magnetic surface by the magnetic adsorption element.

[0065] Understandably, magnetic attachments can be fixed to hanging holes, protruding hooks, or recessed hanging slots by means of embedding, covering, or gluing. Of course, magnetic attachments can also be embedded in functional parts and handheld parts.

[0066] Kitchen utensils can be hung on hooks via hanging holes, outward-protruding hooks, or inward-recessed hanging grooves. They can also be directly attached to the side of the refrigerator, vertical metal walls, or ferromagnetic surfaces such as special magnetic knife holders using magnetic adsorption components. This provides users with diverse storage options and greatly enhances the flexibility of space utilization.

[0067] According to one embodiment of this application, the handheld part 12 is one or a combination of wood, fiber, silicone, and metal components.

[0068] According to one embodiment of this application, the functional part 11 is one or a combination of wood components, fiber components, silicone components, and metal components.

[0069] The fiber components can be made of rice husk fiber composite material or other new materials.

[0070] According to one embodiment of this application, the functional part 11 and the handheld part 12 are integrally formed.

[0071] In some possible embodiments, the functional part 11 and the handheld part 12 may be integrally cut from a steel plate, cast from steel, integrally injection molded from silicone material, or printed from rice husk fiber composite material; or they may be integrally formed by welding, riveting or other connection methods.

[0072] According to one embodiment of this application, the functional part 11 and the handheld part 12 are separate structures, and the functional part 11 and the handheld part 12 are detachably connected. The functional part 11 and the handheld part 12 are detachably connected by a snap-fit ​​structure, or the functional part 11 and the handheld part 12 are detachably connected by a fastener, or the functional part 11 and the handheld part 12 are detachably connected by a thread.

[0073] According to one embodiment of this application, a flat portion is also included, which is located at the end of the handle portion 12 away from the functional portion 11. It is understood that the flat portion is used to increase the contact area with the wall surface after hanging, further reducing the possibility of tilting and shaking of the shovel and spoon body.

[0074] According to one embodiment of this application, the kitchen utensil is a spoon, as shown in the following figure. Figures 11 to 14 Functional part 11 is the spoon head, and hand-held part 12 is the spoon body.

[0075] It should be noted that one of the core improvements of this utility model lies in the redesign of the kitchen utensil hanging part. This design has broad applicability and is not limited to a specific type of kitchen utensil. To clearly demonstrate this point, Figure 13 Three of the most representative kitchen utensils are given as examples: a spatula, a ladle, and a slotted spoon. For example... Figure 13As shown, although these kitchen utensils differ significantly in shape, structure, and function, they all feature the suspension part described in this invention. This suspension part can be the suspension hole, hook, or groove described in the foregoing embodiments, or a composite suspension part combined with a magnetic element.

[0076] According to one embodiment of this application, the kitchen utensil is a spatula, as shown in the following figure. Figures 1 to 10 and Figure 15 Functional part 11 is the shovel head, and hand-held part 12 is the shovel body.
