Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of kitchen appliances and relates to a dishwasher component, in particular to an adjustable bowl basket of the dishwasher and an adjustment method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Dishwashers are devices that automatically wash tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, forks, etc. Fully automatic dishwashers on the market can be divided into two categories: home use and commercial use. Home use fully automatic dishwashers are only suitable for families, and they mainly include cabinet type, table type, integrated sink type, and integrated type. Commercial dishwashers can be divided into five categories according to their structure: cabinet type, hood type, basket type, belt type, and ultrasonic type. They reduce the labor intensity of cooks in restaurants, hotels, and canteens of government agencies, improve work efficiency, and promote cleanliness and hygiene.

[0003] The bowl basket is an important part of the dishwasher, which is used to carry the tableware to be washed. The sizes of tableware are different, but the structure of the bowl basket used in the current dishwasher is fixed. The size of the space used to accommodate tableware in each part of the bowl basket is fixed, which makes the bowl basket less flexible to use and may be difficult to clean for some tableware. The size of each area in the basket on the current market is fixed, which makes the distance between the tableware also fixed. This situation does not meet the needs of actual use. Since the size, height and shape of the tableware are different, the compatibility of placing the tableware is relatively poor. Some bowl basket products on the current market can achieve adjustable angles and can serve as a part of the tableware, but it is still difficult to place tableware with larger and deeper bottoms; if placed randomly, it will directly lead to poor washing or water accumulation at the bottom of the bowl, which seriously affects the user experience.
