Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household goods technology, and in particular to a bowl-removing clamp that applies force at multiple points. Background Technology

[0002] Bowl tongs are kitchen tools specifically designed to hold hot dishes and bowls without burning your hands; they are also known as anti-scalding tongs, dish tongs, or bowl lifters. Bowl tongs come in two types: square tongs and pliers. Square tongs grip plates from above using side frames, suitable for larger diameter pots, soup bowls, etc., but require some space and have limited applicability. Pliers, on the other hand, use leverage to operate with one hand, gripping small plates or irregularly shaped containers from the side, making them more convenient and versatile.

[0003] Existing clamps mostly have a flat clamping head design. When clamping bowls and plates, the clamping head only makes single or double point contact with the bowl or plate wall through the middle or both sides of the clamping surface, resulting in poor clamping stability. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the problems existing in related technologies, this utility model provides a multi-point force-applying bowl clamp. After clamping the bowl or plate, the four corners of the clamping surface of the clamp head can contact the bowl or plate wall, resulting in higher clamping stability.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bowl-lifting tong that applies force at multiple points: It includes a first handle and a second handle. The top of the first handle is provided with an outer clamp and the top of the second handle is provided with an inner clamp. The outer clamp and the inner clamp are pivotally connected and form a clamping space between the outer clamp and the inner clamp. The clamping surface of the outer clamp is a first arc-shaped surface extending along the width direction; The inner clamp has a clamping surface that is a second arc-shaped surface extending along the length direction; The central axes of the first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface are orthogonal in three-dimensional space, and the curvature directions of the first arc-shaped surface and the second arc-shaped surface are both directed toward the inside of the clamping surface.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, the outer clamp is wrapped with a first flexible layer; the inner clamp is wrapped with a second flexible layer. The flexible layer can prevent the clamp from making hard contact with the bowl or plate wall, thus avoiding damage to the bowl or plate. At the same time, the flexible layer can compensate for the clamping thickness and further improve the clamping stability.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, both the clamping surfaces of the first flexible layer and the second flexible layer are provided with protruding ridges and / or protrusions. When clamping bowls and plates of different shapes and sizes, the protruding ridges or protrusions can increase the contact points and adapt to the wall thickness and size, ensuring that they can be clamped more tightly and stably.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a compensating protrusion is provided at the center of the clamping surface of the second flexible layer near the end of the second handle. The compensating protrusion is used to fill the gap between the clamping surface of the first clamping part and the inner wall of the bowl / plate in the clamping state, so that the first flexible layer has a larger area to fit against the outer wall of the bowl / plate.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, both the first flexible layer and the second flexible layer are silicone sleeves, and the silicone sleeves are detachable from the corresponding frame for easy cleaning by the user.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the first handle and the second handle are connected by a first elastic element. It also includes a locking module, which includes a button, a slider, and a second elastic element. The button is mounted on a first handle, and the slider is slidably disposed within the first handle. The bottom end of the button abuts against the slider via an inclined surface. One end of the slider is provided with a latch, and the second handle is provided with a locking groove that can engage with the latch. By translating, the slider can drive the latch to insert into or leave the locking groove to achieve locking and unlocking. The second elastic element is disposed between the slider and the first handle or between the slider and the outer clamp. The bowl-removing tongs have an open clamping state and a clamping locked state; In the clamping and locking state, the slider is in the initial position, the latch is inserted into the locking groove, and the first elastic element is compressed. In this state, the second elastic element can be configured to be uncompressed. Of course, in order to improve the pressing feel, in this state, a certain pressure can also be applied to the second elastic element to pre-compress it. When unlocking, press the button. The button pushes the slider to move away from the lock groove, the second elastic element is compressed, and the latch separates from the lock groove. After unlocking, release the button. Under the action of the first elastic element, the outer clamp and inner clamp open. Under the action of the second elastic element, the slider and button reset, and the cup clamp changes from the clamping and locking state to the open state.

[0011] In the preferred embodiment of this utility model, both the first elastic element and the second elastic element are springs.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a limiting guide groove is provided on the inner wall of the first handle, and a limiting guide rod extending toward the first handle is provided on the inner wall of the second handle. The end of the limiting guide rod extends into the limiting guide groove.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of this invention, a hanging component is provided at the bottom of the first handle to facilitate hanging and storing the bowl clip.

[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The bowl-retrieving clamp includes a first handle and a second handle. The first handle has an outer clamp at its top, and the second handle has an inner clamp at its top. The outer and inner clamps are pivotally connected. The outer clamp has a first arc-shaped surface extending along its width, and the inner clamp has a second arc-shaped surface extending along its length. The central axes of the first and second arc-shaped surfaces are orthogonal in three-dimensional space, and the curvature directions of both surfaces face inward towards the clamping surfaces. When clamping, the inner clamp extends into the bowl or dish, clamping the inner and outer walls of the bowl or dish. The design of the first and second arc-shaped surfaces better matches the shape of the inner and outer walls of the bowl or dish. After clamping the bowl or dish, all four corners of the clamping surfaces of each clamp can contact the bowl or dish wall, resulting in higher clamping stability. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment provides a bowl-retrieving clamp that applies force at multiple points: It includes a first handle 100 and a second handle 300. The top end of the first handle 100 is provided with an outer clamp 200, and the top end of the second handle 300 is provided with an inner clamp 400. The outer clamp 200 and the inner clamp 400 are pivotally connected, and a clamping space is formed between the outer clamp 200 and the inner clamp 400. The clamping surface of the outer clamp 200 is a first arc-shaped surface 201 extending along the width direction; The inner clamp 400 has a clamping surface that is a second arc-shaped surface 401 extending along the length direction; The central axes of the first arc-shaped surface 201 and the second arc-shaped surface 401 are orthogonal in three-dimensional space. The curvature directions of the first arc-shaped surface 201 and the second arc-shaped surface 401 are both facing the inner side of the clamping surface. This design allows the two clamps to have a larger contact area with the bowl and plate wall. After the clamps are provided with a flexible layer, the two clamps can fit better with the bowl and plate wall, which is beneficial to improving clamping stability.

[0022] When clamping, the inner clamp 400 extends into the bowl or plate, clamping the inner wall of the bowl or plate and the outer wall of the bowl or plate. The design of the first arc surface 201 is more compatible with the shape of the inner wall of the bowl or plate, and the design of the second arc surface 401 is more compatible with the shape of the outer wall of the bowl or plate. After clamping the bowl or plate, the four corners of the clamping surfaces of each clamp can contact the bowl or plate wall, resulting in higher clamping stability.

[0023] In this embodiment, the outer clamp 200 is wrapped with a first flexible layer; The inner clamp 400 is wrapped with a second flexible layer.

[0024] The flexible layer prevents the clamp from making hard contact with the dish wall, thus avoiding damage to the dish. At the same time, the flexible layer can compensate for the clamping thickness, further improving clamping stability.

[0025] In this embodiment, both the clamping surfaces of the first and second flexible layers are provided with raised ridges and / or raised dots. When clamping bowls and plates of different shapes and sizes, the raised ridges or raised dots can increase the contact points and adapt to the wall thickness and size, ensuring a tighter and more stable clamping. It should be noted that the raised ridges can be protrusions directly provided on the clamping surface, or several grooves can be provided on the clamping surface, making the clamping surface concave and convex, in which case the protruding part can serve as a raised ridge.

[0026] In this embodiment, a compensation protrusion is provided on the clamping surface of the second flexible layer near the middle of the end side of the second handle 300. The inner clamp 400 is used to clamp the inner wall of the bowl or plate, and the compensation protrusion is used to fill the gap between the clamping surface of the inner clamp 400 and the inner wall of the bowl or plate in the clamping state, so that the second flexible layer has a larger area to fit against the inner wall of the bowl or plate, ensuring that it can be clamped more tightly and stably.

[0027] In this embodiment, both the first flexible layer and the second flexible layer are silicone sleeves, and the silicone sleeves are detachable from the corresponding frame, making it convenient for users to clean the silicone sleeves separately.

[0028] In this embodiment, the first handle 100 and the second handle 300 are connected by a first elastic member 700; It also includes a locking module 500, which includes a button 510, a slider 530, and a second elastic element 520. The button 510 is mounted on the first handle 100, and the slider 530 is slidably disposed within the first handle 100. The bottom end of the button 510 abuts against the slider 530 via an inclined surface. One end of the slider 530 is provided with a latch 531. The second handle 300 is provided with a locking groove 800 that can cooperate with the latch 531. By translating, the slider 530 can drive the latch 531 to insert into or leave the locking groove 800 to achieve locking and unlocking. The second elastic element 520 is disposed between the slider 530 and the first handle 100 or between the slider 530 and the outer clamp 200.

[0029] The bowl-removing tongs have an open clamping state and a clamping locked state; In the clamping and locking state, the slider 530 is in the initial position, the latch 531 is inserted into the locking groove 800, and the first elastic member 700 is compressed. In this state, the second elastic member 520 can be configured to be uncompressed. Of course, in order to improve the pressing feel, in this state, a certain pressure can also be applied to the second elastic member 520 to pre-compress it. When unlocking, press button 510. Button 510 pushes slider 530 to move away from lock groove 800, the second elastic element 520 is compressed, and the latch 531 separates from lock groove 800. After unlocking, release button 510. Under the elastic force of the first elastic element 700, the outer clamp 200 and the inner clamp 400 open. Under the elastic force of the second elastic element 520, the slider 530 and button 510 reset, and the bowl-removing clamp changes from the clamping and locking state to the open state.

[0030] It should be noted that, in order to simplify components and reduce costs, the locking groove 800 can also be integrally formed on the second handle 300. Of course, the locking groove 800 can also be configured as an independent part. For example, a locking block 810 is installed inside the second handle 300, and the locking groove 800 is disposed on the locking block 810.

[0031] Preferably, the bottom end of the outer clamp 200 extends with a first connecting rod portion 210, and the bottom end of the inner clamp 400 extends with a second connecting rod portion 410. The first connecting rod portion 210 has an opening, and the second connecting rod portion 410 passes through the opening and is pivotally connected to the first connecting rod portion 210. The first connecting rod portion 210 is installed inside the first handle 100, and the second connecting rod portion 410 is installed inside the second handle 300. The pivot shaft 120 between the outer clamp 200 and the inner clamp 400 is installed at the top of the first handle 100. The first connecting rod portion 210 and the second connecting rod portion 410 are respectively provided with a protruding first locking position and a second locking position. The first spring... One end of the elastic element 700 is connected to the first locking position, and the other end is connected to the second locking position; the first handle 100 has a sliding groove along its length, the slider 530 is disposed in the sliding groove, and the first connecting rod portion 210 covers the sliding groove; the slider 530 is provided with an installation groove, the first connecting rod portion 210 is provided with a limiting protrusion 211, the limiting protrusion 211 is located in the installation groove, the second elastic element 520 is disposed in the installation groove, one end of the second elastic element 520 abuts against the limiting protrusion 211, and the other end abuts against the inner wall of the installation groove; the first handle 100 has a key hole, the key hole communicates with the sliding groove, and the button 510 is slidably installed in the key hole.

[0032] Preferably, the first handle 100 and the second handle 300 are made of plastic, while the outer clamp 200 and the inner clamp 400 are made of metal. Preferably, both the outer clamp 200 and the inner clamp 400 are secured to the corresponding handle with screws. For example, since the handle is made of plastic and the clamp is made of metal, the clamp can be secured to the handle using self-tapping screws. This eliminates the need for additional thread drilling after the handle is injection molded, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0033] In this embodiment, both the first elastic element 700 and the second elastic element 520 are springs.

[0034] In this embodiment, the inner wall of the first handle 100 is provided with a limiting guide groove, and the inner wall of the second handle 300 is provided with a limiting guide rod extending toward the first handle 100. The end of the limiting guide rod extends into the limiting guide groove. In the locked state, the limiting guide rod is covered by the first handle 100. The limiting guide groove and the limiting guide rod cooperate to limit the first handle 100 and the second handle 300 in the axial direction of the pivot shaft 120, preventing misalignment of the first handle 100 and the second handle 300 during use. At the same time, in the locked state, the limiting guide rod is covered by the first handle 100, which improves the aesthetics.

[0035] In this embodiment, a hanging member 600 is provided at the bottom of the first handle 100. The hanging member 600 can be a hanging hole, a hook, a magnet, or a hanging rope.
