Vertical adjustment mechanism for knife-and-fork holders of dish washing machine

Abstract

A vertical adjustment mechanism for knife-and-fork holders of a dish washing machine comprises a knife-and-fork holder carrier, a left knife-and-fork holder, a right knife-and-fork holder, a front supporting seat and a rear supporting seat. The vertical adjustment mechanism is characterized in that the front supporting seat and the rear supporting seat are provided with slide mounting portions respectively, each of the left knife-and-fork holder and the right knife-and-fork holder penetrates through the corresponding slide mounting portion through a connector to be connected with a cam and further hidden in a ferrule, the ferrules are mounted on the knife-and-fork holder carrier, and vertical adjustment of the left knife-and-fork holder and/or the knife-and-fork holder is realized by changes of the cams in the ferrules. Due to the facts that the left knife-and-fork holder and the right knife-and-fork holder are provided with the connectors, and the connectors penetrate through the slide mounting portions of the front supporting seat and the rear supporting seat to be connected with the cams and further hidden in the ferrules mounted on the knife-and-fork holder carrier, a user can pull the left knife-and-fork holder and/or the right knife-and-fork holder upwards to adjust placement of tableware by adjusting heights of the left knife-and-fork holder and/or the right knife-and-fork holder. Therefore, the vertical adjustment mechanism has the advantages of simple and reasonable structure, convenience and quickness in mounting, low cost, effectiveness, high practicality and the like.
