[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0024] This embodiment provides a shelf, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the shelf includes a shelf body 1 and a bracket 2, wherein an adjustment mechanism 3 is arranged between the shelf body 1 and the bracket 2, and the adjustment mechanism 3 can make the bracket 2 be in an open state and a closed state. When the bracket 2 is in an open state, the bracket 2 and the shelf body 1 are at a preset angle, and when the bracket 2 is in a closed state, the bracket 2 and the shelf body 1 are arranged parallel to each other.

[0025] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 3 is provided between the rack body 1 and the bracket 2, so that the bracket 2 can be in the open and closed states, and the bracket 2 can be smoothly switched between the open and closed states, and it is also ensured that the bracket 2 in the closed state will not interfere with the rack entering and exiting the dishwasher. In addition, the rack provided in this embodiment has fewer components, a simple structure, and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0026] The adjustment mechanism 3 includes a plurality of connecting members 31 and a plurality of buckles 32. The two ends of the connecting member 31 are rotatably connected to the shelf body 1 and the bracket 2, respectively. The buckle 32 is arranged on the side wall of the bracket 2 close to the shelf body 1. When the bracket 2 is in an open state, the buckle 32 is engaged with the shelf body 1 to prevent the bracket 2 from rotating relative to the shelf body 1, and has a limiting effect on the bracket 2. After the buckle 32 is engaged with the shelf body 1, the position of the bracket 2 is fixed. At this time, the user can place objects on the bracket 2. At this time, the buckle 32 plays a supporting and fixing role on the bracket 2.

[0027] When the bracket 2 needs to be closed, one end of the connecting member 31 is rotated relative to the shelf body 1, and the buckle 32 is separated from the shelf body 1. At the same time, the other end of the connecting member 31 is rotated relative to the bracket 2 to make the bracket 2 parallel to the shelf body 1, thereby closing the bracket 2. It should be noted that when the connecting member 31 rotates upward clockwise relative to the shelf body 1, the bracket 2 is lifted, and when the connecting member 31 rotates downward counterclockwise relative to the shelf body 1, the bracket 2 is lowered. The user can adjust the rotation direction of the connecting member 31 relative to the shelf body 1 according to the size of the dishwasher space.

[0028] When the bracket 2 needs to be opened, one end of the connecting member 31 is rotated relative to the shelf body 1, so that the buckle 32 gradually approaches the shelf body 1 until it is engaged with the shelf body 1, thereby fixing the position of the bracket 2. At this time, the bracket 2 is in use.

[0029] The above-mentioned shelf includes a plurality of vertical rods 11 arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and horizontal rods 12 connected to the vertical rods 11 in sequence. One end of the connecting member 31 is rotatably connected to the horizontal rod 12, and a gap is provided between the connecting member 31 and the adjacent vertical rods 11. By providing a gap between the connecting member 31 and the adjacent vertical rods 11, one end of the connecting member 31 can slide on the horizontal rod 12, and the position of the connecting member 31 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the position of the bracket 2 relative to the shelf body 1 to avoid interference. In addition, the buckle 32 can be engaged with the vertical rod 11. When the bracket 2 is in the open state, the vertical rod 11 is engaged in the buckle 32, so that the bracket 2 keeps the position fixed, and at the same time, the rotation of the bracket 2 relative to the shelf body 1 is restricted.

[0030] The bracket 2 is provided with a grid 23 distributed in a matrix. The end of the bracket 2 close to the vertical rod 11 is provided with a short axis 21 corresponding to the connecting member 31. The short axis 21 is parallel to the cross rod 12. The short axis 21 is arranged in the above-mentioned partial grid 23, and the two ends of the short axis 21 are connected to the two opposite inner walls of the grid 23. The other end of the connecting member 31 is rotatably connected to the short axis 21, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the other end of the connecting member 31 and the bracket 2.

[0031] Both ends of the connecting member 31 are penetrated with connecting holes 311, and the cross bar 12 and the short shaft 21 respectively pass through the connecting holes 311. The connecting holes 311 at both ends of the connecting member 31 are formed by bending the two ends in opposite directions. The connecting member 31 provided in this embodiment has a simple structure and is easy to manufacture.

[0032] The end surface of the bracket 2 close to the shelf body 1 is provided with a U-shaped opening 22, and the U-shaped opening 22 is arranged corresponding to the short shaft 21, wherein the opening of the U-shaped opening 22 faces the connecting member 31, so that the other end of the connecting member 31 passes through the U-shaped opening 22 and is rotatably connected to the short shaft 21. By providing the U-shaped opening 22, it is avoided that the bracket 2 and the connecting member 31 interfere with each other during the rotation process of the bracket 2, so that the bracket 2 is not smoothly switched between the open and closed states.

[0033] The above-mentioned grid 23 is formed by a plurality of cross plates 231 and a plurality of vertical plates 232 cross-connected. The cross plates 231 are provided with a slot 2311 corresponding to the vertical rod 11. When the bracket 2 is in a closed state, the vertical rod 11 can be inserted into the slot 2311, thereby fixing the bracket 2 and avoiding interference between the shelf body 1 and the bracket 2. When the bracket 2 is in a closed state, the bracket 2 cannot be parallel to the shelf body 1, which causes the bracket 2 to be unstable and easy to return to the open state. It should be noted that the U-shaped opening 32 is opened on the cross plate 231 of the grid 23. In addition, as shown in FIG. Figure 2As shown, in order to avoid interference between the bracket 2 and the transverse plate 231 , a slot (not numbered) corresponding to the connecting member 31 may be provided on another transverse plate 231 of the grid 23 to accommodate the connecting member 31 .

[0034] The buckle 32 comprises two parallel and spaced triangle plates 321 , the distance between the two triangle plates 321 being no less than the diameter of the vertical rod 11 , so as to ensure that the vertical rod 11 can be inserted into the gap between the two triangle plates 321 when the bracket 2 is in the open state.

[0035] The present embodiment also provides a dishwasher, including the above-mentioned rack. The present embodiment provides the above-mentioned rack so that the bracket 2 can be in two states, open and closed, and the bracket 2 can be smoothly switched between the two states, while also ensuring that the bracket 2 in the closed state does not interfere with the rack entering and exiting the dishwasher. In addition, the rack in the dishwasher has fewer components, a simple structure, and is easy to disassemble and assemble.

[0036] Note that the above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and the above embodiments and descriptions are only for explaining the principles of the present invention.
