In order to ensure the flexibility of the rack, in the prior art, the rack and the bowl basket body are mostly installed by snap fasteners. The above-mentioned snap fasteners can realize the installation of the rack and the bowl basket body while ensuring the flexibility of the rack, but there is a problem that the snap fasteners fall off the bowl basket after being stressed or aged for a long time, and the bowl basket is not reliable.

[0003] At the same time, the existing bowl basket can only hold tableware of fixed sizes. In view of the north-south differences in the Chinese market, northerners tend to use deeper noodle bowls, while southerners tend to use shallower rice bowls. Traditional dishwasher bowl baskets cannot meet the usage habits of users in both the north and south, which limits the application of dishwasher bowl baskets. Tableware cannot be placed on the bowl baskets reasonably. The compatibility of dishwasher bowl baskets is poor, resulting in a decrease in the space utilization of dishwasher bowl baskets. The tableware may not be washed clean due to the gap and angle of the tableware, which affects the user experience. Summary of the invention

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the bowl basket assembly according to this embodiment is used to hold tableware 40 , and specifically includes: a bowl basket body 20 , a rack 10 and a fixing member 30 .

[0037] Specifically, the bowl basket body 20 in this embodiment includes a plurality of connecting rods 21; the rack 10 is installed on the bowl basket body 20, including a mounting arm 13 for mounting the rack 10, and a support arm 11 for providing support for the tableware 40; the fixing member 30 cooperates with the mounting arm 13 to fix the rack 10 on the bowl basket body 20; wherein, the fixing member 30 is formed with a slot 31 for mounting the mounting arm 13 and the connecting rod 21, and a hook position 37 for engaging the connecting rod 21, and the direction of the hook position 37 is opposite to the direction of the slot 31. Furthermore, the bowl-basket assembly in this embodiment is provided with a fixing piece 30 for matching the bowl-basket body 20 with the rack 10, and a groove 31 for installing the mounting arm 13 and the connecting rod 21, as well as a hook 37 for engaging the connecting rod 21 are formed on the fixing piece 30, and the direction of the hook 37 is opposite to the direction of the groove 31. Therefore, when the rack 10 is folded, the fixing piece 30 is subjected to force or after aging due to long-term use, because the direction of the hook 37 on the fixing piece 30 is opposite to the direction of the groove 31, the fixing piece 30 is not easy to fall off to the top or bottom of the bowl-basket body 20, thereby ensuring the stability of the installation of the fixing piece 30 and improving the reliability of the bowl-basket assembly.

[0038] like Figure 5As shown, the fixing member 30 in this embodiment cooperates with the mounting arm 13 to fix the rack 10 on the bowl basket body 20. The bowl basket body 20 includes a plurality of connecting rods 21. The mounting arms 13 and the connecting rods 21 are staggered. The fixing member 30 is formed with a slot 31 for mounting the mounting arms 13 and the connecting rods 21. The fixing member 30 is clamped by the slot 31, so that the installation of the rack 10 is more reliable and stable.

[0039] Specifically, the slot 31 of the fixing member 30 in the present embodiment is arranged toward the bottom of the bowl basket body 20, and the fixing member 30 also includes a hook 37 engaging the connecting rod 21 toward the top of the bowl basket body 20, so that when the rack 10 is folded, the fixing member 30 is not easy to fall off to the top and bottom of the bowl basket body 20, and the reliability of the bowl basket assembly is better.

[0040] The mounting arm 13 in this embodiment is rotatably mounted on the fixing member 30 and can be folded to fold the rack 10. When the bowl-basket assembly does not need to place tableware 40, the rack 10 is folded to reduce the space occupied by the rack 10 and make the bowl-basket assembly more compact.

[0041] Specifically, the support arm 11 rotates with the mounting arm 13, and an escape space 33 for evading the support arm 11 is formed on the fixing member 30, and a limiting buckle 35 is formed at the edge of the escape space 33, so that the support arm 11 can avoid interference with other components while achieving free rotation.

[0042] In this embodiment, there are multiple racks 10, and the distance between two adjacent racks 10 is smaller than the length of the support arm 11, so that when the racks 10 are in the folded position, the support arms 11 on the racks 10 can overlap the fixing members 30 or the mounting arms 13, thereby preventing the support arms 11 from falling and interfering with the spray arms of the dishwasher.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support arm 11 in this embodiment is formed with a limiting portion 15 at its bottom for limiting the bottom of the tableware 40, and the support arm 11 is formed with at least one bending section, and a plurality of mutually staggered supporting portions 17 for supporting one side of the tableware 40 are formed by the bending section, and the support arm 11 supports the tableware 40 of different depths through the mutually staggered supporting portions 17. Furthermore, in the bowl basket assembly in this embodiment, at least one bending section is formed on the support arm 11, and a plurality of mutually staggered supporting portions 17 for supporting one side of the tableware 40 are formed by the bending section, and then for the tableware 40 of different depths, the mutually staggered supporting portions 17 can support the tableware 40 of different depths, and then it is suitable for the bowl basket assembly to support and place tableware 40 of different depths, thereby improving the compatibility and applicability of the dishwasher bowl basket assembly.

[0044] Specifically, Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the support arm 11 in this embodiment forms two vertical sections staggered from each other through a bending section. There is a certain distance between the two vertical sections in the horizontal direction. At the same time, there is also a certain distance between two adjacent support arms 11. The tableware 40 is vertically placed between the two support arms 11, and the support portion 17 is formed on the top of the vertical section. Since the vertical sections are staggered from each other, the support portion 17 has different positions in the horizontal direction, which is suitable for supporting tableware 40 of different depths.

[0045] Specifically, the rack 10 in this embodiment further includes a mounting arm 13 for mounting the rack 10 , the support arm 11 is mounted on the mounting arm 13 , and a limiting portion 15 for limiting the bottom of the tableware 40 is specifically formed at the junction between the mounting arm 13 and the support arm 11 .

[0046] Preferably, the mounting arm 13 and the supporting arm 11 in this embodiment are integrally formed, thereby improving the reliability of the bowl-basket assembly.

[0047] The present embodiment further provides a dishwasher, comprising a dishwasher body and a bowl basket assembly installed in the dishwasher body, the bowl basket assembly being the bowl basket assembly as described above, and thus the advantages of the bowl basket assembly in the present embodiment should also be possessed by the dishwasher in the present embodiment, which will not be described in detail herein.

[0048] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of the invention.
