[0041] An extension part 4-2 is arranged at the top of the seat body 4-1, which is used for limiting the displacement of the nipple fixing part, and the extension part 4-2 extends outward through the middle hole of the nipple fixing part. The nipple fixing part can shake in the dishwasher during washing, facilitating the cleaning of the contact part with the extension part 4-2. In the embodiment, the extension part 4-2 adopts a circular shape, and the included angle between the circular extension part 4-2 and the seat body 4-1 is 80°, which can lock the nipple fixing part firmly. The angle can be adjusted according to the angle of the spray opening, so as to have good washing effect.

[0042] A region for placing the bottle cap is arranged on one side of the main body 1, and an upper end support 5 is arranged above the region, which is used for preventing the bottle cap from being overturned when impacted by washing water.

[0043] The upper end support 5 includes a barrier 5-1 and a connecting part 5-2 connected with the main body 1, the barrier 5-1 is in a wave stripe shape, has small volume and large barrier surface, and effectively prevents the bottle cap from being overturned when impacted by washing water. The connecting part 5-2 is rotationally connected with the main body 1, and the upper end support 5 can be rotationally fixed on the main body 1 through the connecting part 5-2, facilitating the placement and picking of the bottle cap.

[0044] A dishwasher includes a shell, a door body, an inner container, a rotating spray arm, and further includes the dishwasher shelf.

[0045] The dishwasher rack and dishwasher described herein utilize point-contact fixation between the support and fixing components and the tableware, resolving the issue of poor cleaning effectiveness at contact points and eliminating dead corners. The bottle support structure 2, the nipple support structure 3, and the nipple fixing mounting base 4 provide separate fixed support structures for children's tableware such as bottles and nipples. Combined with a spray system, these structures effectively position and secure plastic tableware of varying types and sizes, improving washing efficiency.

[0046] Example 2
