It is beneficial to improve the drying effect.

In this embodiment, a plurality of hollow holes are also provided on the side plate 20 to further improve the smoothness of the airflow of the chopstick cage.

Embodiment two

This embodiment provides a chopstick cage, which has roughly the same structure as that in Embodiment 1, except for the structure of the supporting frame.

As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 10 , the support portion 12 is disposed on the node 1122 of the ring frame 112 . Specifically, adjacent annular frames 112 have common nodes 1122 , and at least some of the nodes 1122 are provided with a plurality of supporting parts 12 . In this embodiment, the four ring frames 112 share a node 1122, and four support parts 12 are arranged at the node 1122. One end of the support part 12 is connected to the node 1122, and the other end extends into the corresponding ring frame 112 to support Chopsticks.

In this embodiment, the supporting part 12 is a supporting arm, and the supporting arm extends along a straight line. Further, the outer surface of the support arm has no depression, which can reduce water stain residue.

As shown in FIG. 9 and FIG. 11 , the support portions 12 are connected to the bottom surface of the node 1122 , one end of the four support portions 12 intersects the bottom surface of the node 1122 , and the other end extends obliquely downward. In some embodiments, the supporting part 12 can also be arranged on the top surface of the node 1122, and extend downwards from the top of the node 1122, and can also play a role of supporting the chopsticks.

In order to further improve the strength of the supporting base 10 , multiple supporting parts 12 located on the same node 1122 are connected by reinforcing ribs 14 . Optionally, the four supporting parts 12 located at the same node 1122 may be connected by two intersecting reinforcing ribs 14 . Each reinforcing rib 14 is respectively connected to two supporting parts 12 arranged diagonally, and the two reinforcing ribs 14 on the same node 1122 are intersected to improve strength.

In order to reduce the contact area between the support part 12 and the chopsticks, the cross-sectional area of the support part 12 gradually decreases from the ring frame 112 to its center, that is, the cross-sectional area of the support part 12 near the side frame 1121 is large, and the cross-sectional area at the place where the chopsticks are supported is small. In order to reduce the remaining water stains on the contact parts between the support part 12 and the chopsticks.

In order to further reduce the contact area between the support portion 12 and the chopsticks, the end of the support portion 12 has an edge in contact with the chopsticks or an outwardly protruding arc. When the edges or curved surfaces contact the chopsticks, the edges or curved surfaces are in point contact with the chopsticks, thereby reducing the contact area between the support portion 12 and the chopsticks.

In this embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of at least the end of the support part 12 is circular or elliptical, so as to ensure that the contact position between the support part 12 and the chopsticks is an arc surface, so that the support part 12 and the chopsticks are in point contact, to further reduce water leakage. No stain remains, and the surface of the supporting part 12 is smooth, which is beneficial to water flow.

In some embodiments, the cross-sectional shape of the support portion 12 may include at least two types. Exemplarily, the supporting part 12 includes a first section connected to a second section, the first section is connected to the ring frame 112 , and the second section is used to support the chopsticks. Wherein, the cross-sectional shape of the first section is polygonal, the cross-sectional area of the second section is circular or elliptical, and the outer peripheral surfaces of the first section and the second section transition smoothly. This kind of setting can ensure that the contact position between the end of the support part 12 and the chopsticks is an arc surface, thereby forming a point contact, and the cross-sectional area of the first section is set as a polygon, and the contact of the support part 12 can be inclined. Each surface of the first section is a slope with a certain slope. The slope of the slope is larger than the arc surface, which has a better diversion effect on water, and can make the water falling on the first section flow down smoothly and avoid water residue.

Embodiment three

This embodiment provides a chopstick cage, which has roughly the same structure as that of the above embodiment, except for the structure of the supporting frame.

In order to prevent the chopsticks from falling out of the chopsticks cage through the gaps between a plurality of support parts 12, the heights of the ends of the support parts 12 located in the same ring frame 112 in this embodiment are equal, and the height between any two adjacent support parts 12 The maximum distance is smaller than the size of the small-diameter end of the chopsticks, so that when the projection of the small-diameter end of the chopsticks on the plane of the support base 10 falls into the ring frame 112, the projection always intersects the projection of at least one support portion 12 on the plane of the support base 10 to prevent the small end of the chopsticks from sticking out of the chopstick cage.

In this embodiment, it is difficult for the small-diameter ends of the chopsticks to pass through the chopsticks cage. It can be ensured that when the large-diameter ends of the chopsticks are inserted into the chopsticks cage downwards, the large-diameter ends of the chopsticks extend below the ring frame 112, and the large-diameter ends of the chopsticks are covered by four Supported by two support arms, four-point contact is formed, and it can prevent the large-diameter end of the chopsticks from sliding with the support frame, and improve the stability of the support for the chopsticks.

In this embodiment, the supporting part 12 may be disposed at the node 1122 of the annular frame 112 , or may be disposed on the side frame 1121 as shown in FIG. 12 . As shown in Figure 12 and Figure 13, the center point of the projection of the annular frame 112 on the plane where the support base plate 10 is located is O, and the projection of the support portion 12 on the plane where the support base plate 10 is located is set eccentrically with the center point O, this kind of setting makes the support portion 12 Extending roughly along the spiral direction is beneficial to guide the accumulated water to flow on the support part 12 , so that the accumulated water drips down and avoids remaining water stains on the support part 12 .

In some embodiments, the central axis of the projection of the supporting portion 12 on the plane where the supporting bottom plate 10 is located may pass through the central point O.

Optionally, the supporting portion 12 may extend along a straight line, or may extend along an arc. When the support portion 12 extends along an arc, as shown in FIG. 14 , the end of the support portion 12 is bent upwards to better support the bottom end of the chopsticks. In addition, the support portion 12 extending along the arc is also beneficial to prevent the formation of a water film on the ring frame 112 and the support arm, thereby improving the water permeability.

Embodiment Four

This embodiment provides a chopstick cage, which has substantially the same structure as that of the above embodiments, except for the structure of the supporting bottom plate 10 .

In order to improve the through-hole rate of the support base plate 10, the hollow space surrounded by the annular frame 112 is relatively large, and there is a large gap between two adjacent support parts 12, which may cause the chopsticks to be inserted into the chopsticks cage at an angle or the chopsticks are inserted in an inaccurate position. , there is a situation that the chopsticks pass through the gap between two adjacent supporting parts 12 and go out of the chopsticks cage, which affects the cleaning and drying effect of the chopsticks.

In order to solve the above problems, as shown in Figure 15-Figure 17, in this embodiment, two supporting frames are correspondingly arranged in each annular frame 112, and the ends of the supporting parts 12 in the two supporting frames are arranged at intervals along the height direction of the chopsticks cage , and a plurality of supporting parts 12 in the two supporting frames are arranged in a staggered manner. For the convenience of description, the two support frames are respectively called the upper support frame and the lower support frame, the support part 12 in the upper support frame is called the first support part 12a, and the support part 12 in the lower support frame is called the second support part 12b, the end of the first support portion 12a is higher than the end of the second support portion 12b.

By arranging two support frames and making a plurality of support parts 12 in the two support frames staggered, the support parts 12 in one support frame can prevent chopsticks from passing through the two adjacent support parts 12 in the other support frame The gap between them prevents the chopsticks from passing through the chopstick cage. By arranging the ends of the two supporting frames at intervals along the height direction of the chopsticks cage, the two supporting frames can be arranged in layers, which is beneficial to increase the hollowed-out area in each layer of the supporting frame, thereby ensuring smooth fluid flow. Compared with increasing the number of support parts 12 in the same support frame to prevent the small-diameter end of the chopsticks from passing through, setting up two-layer support frames can increase the distance between two adjacent support parts 12 in a single support frame, which is conducive to ensuring fluid flow smooth.
