In the present embodiment, each of the protruding columns 16 is disposed corresponding to a fixing portion 14, but not limited thereto. In addition, each of the protruding columns 16 has a height H (refer to fig. 4) in the axial direction thereof, and the protruding columns 16 may also serve as support legs of the food rack 100. The cooking rack 100 can be placed in an electric cooker or a food steamer with the second surface 10b facing upwards and the first surface 10a facing downwards, the plurality of convex columns 16 stand on the inner bottom surface of the electric cooker or the food steamer, and the height H of the convex columns 16 enables a gap to be formed between the carrying tray 10 of the cooking rack 100 and the inner bottom surface of the electric cooker or the food steamer, so that heat convection in the cooking process is promoted.

With continued reference to fig. 3, each leg 20 has a connecting end 22 and a free end 24. The connecting end 22 of each leg 20 is connected to the second surface 10b of the carrier tray 10, and the free end 24 thereof has a snap-fit portion 242 therein. In the present embodiment, each of the legs 20 is formed by bending a wire, the buckling portion 242 is formed at the bending portion, and the width of each leg 20 is gradually reduced toward a tapering direction V from the connecting end 22 toward the free end 24, as can be seen from the foregoing, the buckling portion 242 is a tapered portion. As shown in fig. 1 and 3, each of the legs 20 includes an unfolded state and a folded state. When each of the legs 20 is in the unfolded state, the end of each of the legs 20 is far away from the carrier tray 10, and the tapering direction V is perpendicular to the second surface 10 b. When each of the legs 20 is in the collapsed state, the end of each of the legs 20 is close to the carrier tray 10, and the tapered portion 242 of each of the legs 20 abuts against the second surface 10 b.

It should be noted that the supporting legs 20 include a plurality of first supporting legs 201 and a plurality of second supporting legs 202, the plurality of first supporting legs 201 and the plurality of second supporting legs 202 are disposed in an annular staggered manner, and the length of each first supporting leg 201 is greater than the length of each second supporting leg 202. The user can select to put the first support legs 201 or the second support legs 202 in the unfolded state according to the space required for placing food and the accommodating space of the electric cooker or the food steamer.

As shown in fig. 4, a food rack assembly 300 according to the present invention includes a plurality of the above-mentioned food racks. In the present embodiment, the plurality of food shelves includes a first food shelf 100a and a second food shelf 100b, and the combination manner of the first food shelf 100a and the second food shelf 100b is described as an example. Cooking frame combination 300 has a first user state, works as cooking frame combination 300 is when first user state, first cooking frame 100a plurality of stabilizer blades 20 are the expansion state, second cooking frame 100b a plurality of stabilizer blades 20 also are the expansion state, just first cooking frame 100a plurality of stabilizer blades 20 insert respectively from one side of the first surface 10a of second cooking frame 100b in a plurality of fixed parts 14. Therefore, the second surface 10b of the first food rack 100a faces the first surface 10a of the second food rack 100b, and a space for placing a vessel or food is formed between the tray 10 of the first food rack 100a and the tray 10 of the second food rack 100 b. More specifically, fig. 4 illustrates an example in which the plurality of second legs 202 of the first food rack 100a are unfolded and the plurality of first legs 201 of the second food rack 100b are unfolded, which reveals that the accommodating space formed by the plurality of first legs 201 in the unfolded state is larger than the accommodating space formed by the plurality of second legs 202 in the unfolded state; however, in other practical applications, the support legs of the first food rack and the second food rack in the unfolded state may be changed.

It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, the first supporting legs 201 and the second supporting legs 202 are detachably connected to the tray 10 of the first food rack 100a or the tray 10 of the second food rack 100b in a foldable manner, so that a user can select to use the first supporting legs 201 or the second supporting legs 202 as required to adjust the height of the tray rack. In addition, when the user selects to use one of the first supporting legs 201 or the second supporting legs 202, the other one of the first supporting legs 201 or the second supporting legs 202 can be folded or detached, so that the overall volume of the food rack assembly 300 can be effectively reduced, and the storage is facilitated. In practice, the first legs may be detachably connected to the carrying tray, and the second legs may be fixedly connected to the carrying tray but not in a foldable state, or detachably connected to the carrying tray but not in a foldable state.

Referring to fig. 5 and 6, the legs 20 of the first food rack 100a have a third length L3 between the connecting end 22 and the free end 24, the third length L3 is parallel to the first axis X1 and is greater than the first length L1 of the contour 142, so that the tapered portion 242 of each leg 20 can be firmly fixed in each fixing portion 14. Each tapered portion 242 has an equal length P having a fourth length L4 in a direction parallel to the first axis X1, the fourth length L4 of the tapered portion 242 is equal to the first length L1 of the contour 142, in other words, the tapered portion 242 abuts against the periphery of the fixing portion 14 at the equal length P.

More specifically, as shown in fig. 7, if each of the support legs 20 of the first food rack 100a is slightly obliquely inserted into the plurality of fixing portions 14 of the second food rack 100b, each of the support legs 20 can still find a third length L3 in a direction parallel to the first axis X1, so that the tapered portion 242 of each of the support legs 20 is firmly clamped in the fixing portion 14 of the second food rack 100 b; in addition, the same length P of the tapered portion 242 can be found in the case shown in fig. 7, and the fourth length L4 of the tapered portion 242 at the same length P is also equal to the first length L1 of the contour 142. From the above, no matter in the case of fig. 6 or fig. 7, the user can abut the contour line of the fixing portion of the other frame at the equal length position of each tapered portion of one frame, so as to achieve the fixing effect. In addition, the shortest distance from the end point of the convergent portion 242 to the equal length position P is a first distance D1, a second distance D2 is provided between the first surface 10a and the second surface 10b of the carrier 10, and the first distance D1 is greater than the second distance D2. In this way, each tapered portion 242 of the first food rack 100a protrudes from the second surface 10b of the second food rack 100b, and the tapered portions 242 of the first food rack 100a do not leave the fixing portions 14 of the second food rack 100b due to micro-sliding, so that the first food rack 100a is prevented from being accidentally tilted.

In addition, referring to FIG. 8, a cross-sectional view taken along the line 8-8 of FIG. 4 is shown. As can be seen, each tapered portion 242 has a thickness D3 in a direction parallel to the second axis X2, and the thickness D3 is not greater than the second length L2 of the contour 142, so that when each of the legs 20 of the first food rack 100a is in the unfolded state, the tapered portions 242 of the legs 20 can be inserted into the fixing portions 14 of the second food rack 100b, respectively.

The first and

second food racks

100a and 100b can be combined in the first use state, and the food rack assembly 300 has a second use state. As shown in fig. 9, when the food rack assembly 300 is in the second use state, the first legs 201 of the first food rack 100a are in the unfolded state, the legs 20 of the second food rack 100b are in the folded state, and the legs 20 of the first food rack 100a are inserted into the fixing portions 14 of the second food rack 100b from one side of the second surface 10b of the second food rack 100b, so that the second surface 10b of the first food rack 100a faces the second surface 10b of the second food rack 100 b. At this time, if the food rack assembly 300 in the second use state is installed in the rice cooker or the food steamer, the plurality of convex columns 16 of the second food rack 100b may abut against the inner bottom surface of the rice cooker or the food steamer (not shown). It should be noted that the first distance D1 (see fig. 6) of each tapered portion 242 is smaller than the height H (see fig. 4) of each convex pillar 16, so that when the food rack assembly 300 is placed in the rice cooker or the food steamer in the second use state, the tapered portions 242 of the first food rack 100a do not contact the inner bottom surface of the rice cooker or the food steamer.

In addition to the food rack assembly of the first embodiment, the present invention provides a second embodiment, and the second embodiment has another fixing portion, as shown in fig. 10, a first food rack 100a is stacked on a second food rack 100b, wherein the fixing portion 15 of the second food rack 100b is a groove. The distance D4 from the groove bottom 152 of the groove 15 to the first surface 10a is not less than the first distance D1 of the taper 242. The tapered portions 242 of the plurality of support legs 20 of the first food rack 100a are respectively inserted into the plurality of grooves 15 of the food rack 100b located on the lower side from one side of the first surface 10a of the second food rack 100b, and the end points of the tapered portions 242 of the plurality of support legs 20 of the first food rack 100a do not contact or contact well with the groove bottoms 152 of the plurality of grooves 15 of the food rack 100b located on the lower side. For example, if the distance D4 from the groove bottom 152 of the groove 15 to the first surface 10a is smaller than the first distance D1, the equal length positions P of the tapered portions 242 of the first food rack 100a cannot abut against the opening periphery of the groove 15, and the first food rack 100a may shake.

In summary, the structure design of the food rack of the invention enables any two adjacent food racks to be firmly combined when a plurality of food racks are stacked for use, thereby avoiding the worry that cooking utensils or food on the food racks topple over, and ensuring that users feel more reassurance. In addition, the food rack assembly of the present invention can include food racks with different sizes, and the stacked racks can also have the same fixing effect by using the above-mentioned method.

In addition, in other practical applications, the present invention further provides the supporting legs in different forms as shown in fig. 11 to 13. Wherein the

legs

20A and 20B disclosed in fig. 11 and 12 are each formed by bending a wire to form the clip portion 242 of the present invention, and a shoulder 26 is formed between the connecting end of the

legs

20A and 20B and the clip portion 242, and the third length L3 of the shoulder 26 is greater than the first length L1 of the contour 142, so that the surface of the shoulder 26 can abut against the first surface 10A of the boat 10. The leg 20C shown in fig. 13 is formed by bending a plate-like member a plurality of times to form a shoulder 26, and the ends of the plate-like member constitute the engaging portions 242. The shoulder 26 has the third length L3 in the direction of the second axis X2, and the third length L3 is greater than the second length L2 of the contour 142, so that the surface of the shoulder 26 can abut against the first surface 10a of the carrier 10. It is further noted that a fourth length L4 of the clip portion 242 shown in fig. 11 to 13 may be slightly smaller than the first length L1 of the contour line 142, and a ratio of the fourth length to the first length L1 is between 0.9 and 1.
