DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0043] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "inside", "outside", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0044] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", "connected", "contacted", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0045] Example 1

[0046] like Figure 1-Figure 2 As shown, the present invention relates to a dishwasher rack 100, wherein the dishwasher has an inner tank 200, and the dishwasher rack 100 is placed in the inner tank 200 to support tableware. The rack 100 includes a rack 100 body, wherein the rack 100 body includes a plurality of crisscross wire strips, and a positioning structure arranged on the wire strips, wherein the wire strips and the positioning structure divide the rack 100 body into at least seven placement areas for different types of tableware. These tableware placement areas may be fixedly arranged on the rack 100 body, or may be detachably arranged on the rack 100 body. By rationally dividing the internal space of the rack 100 body, the internal space of the rack 100 body may be maximized, fully meeting the needs of users.

[0047] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the main body of the shelf 100 includes a shallow tray area 1, and the shallow tray area 1 includes at least two first wire strips 11 arranged in parallel. A plurality of first positioning rods 12 are symmetrically distributed on adjacent first wire strips 11, and the shallow tray is positioned between adjacent first positioning rods 12.

[0048] In the above scheme, since each family uses a large number of shallow plates, it is necessary to set up a shallow plate area 1 for placing multiple shallow plates. Since the shallow plates are shallow in depth and large in size, the distance between adjacent first positioning rods 12 on the same first wire strip 11 is close, and the distance between two adjacent first positioning wire strips 42 is wide, so as to ensure that as many shallow plates as possible can be placed in a limited space and ensure that the shallow plates are placed neatly without tipping over.

[0049] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the main body of the rack 100 includes four side walls, a long plate area 2 is arranged between the shallow plate area 1 and the side wall parallel to the first wire strip 11, the long plate area 2 includes a plurality of second wire strips 21 perpendicular to the first wire strips 11, the middle of the second wire strips 21 is sunken toward the bottom of the dishwasher to form a groove, and the edge of the long plate is limited to the groove;

[0050] In the above scheme, the length of the long plate is greater than that of the shallow plate, and the long plate is a fish plate or a tableware similar to a fish plate. Since the number of fish plates used in each meal in each family is small, a fish plate area for placing only one fish plate is provided in the narrow and long area between the shallow plate area 1 and the side wall, thereby making full use of the limited space between the shallow plate area 1 and the side wall.

[0051] Preferably, a second positioning rod 22 is provided at each end of the long plate area 2, and a support frame 23 is provided on the side wall connected to the second wire strip 21, the back side of the long plate is supported on the support frame 23, and the long plate is positioned in the space enclosed by the second positioning rod 22 and the support frame 23.

[0052] In the above scheme, in order to further ensure the stability of the long plate, a second positioning rod 22 is respectively set at both ends of the long plate area 2 in the length direction to fix the two ends of the long plate. At the same time, in order to ensure that the long plate is in a vertical state and does not fall, a support frame 23 is set on the side wall connected to the second wire strip 21 to support the back of the long plate. The support frame 23 is two support rods vertically set on the side wall connected to the second wire strip 21, and the ends of the two support rods are connected by a cross bar. Under the joint action of the second positioning rod 22, the support frame 23, and the groove, the long plate is effectively positioned.

[0053] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, a middle bowl area 3 is arranged between the shallow plate area 1 and the other side wall parallel to the first wire strip 11, and the middle bowl area 3 includes at least two third wire strips 31 arranged in parallel, the third wire strips 31 are arranged in parallel with the first wire strip 11, and a plurality of third positioning rods 32 are symmetrically distributed on adjacent third wire strips 31, and the middle bowl is positioned between adjacent third positioning rods 32;

[0054] In the above scheme, the middle bowl is a noodle bowl or tableware similar to a noodle bowl. Since the depth of the middle bowl is deeper than that of the shallow plate, the height of the third positioning rod 32 is less than that of the first positioning rod 12. Since the third positioning rod 32 has the function of supporting the middle bowl, the third positioning rod 32 also has a certain bending structure in the vertical direction, so as to adapt to the inclined middle bowl and form a better support. The third positioning rod 32 includes a third positioning rod first section 321 fixedly connected to the third wire strip 31, and the end of the third positioning rod first section 321 is bent to form a third positioning rod transition section 322, and then bent into a third positioning rod second section 323 parallel to the third positioning rod first section 321 and extending upward, forming a third positioning rod 32 with a certain bend. At the same time, the interval between adjacent third positioning rods 32 on the same third wire strip 31 is greater than the interval between adjacent first positioning rods 12, so as to ensure that as many middle bowls as possible are placed in the limited space between the shallow plate area 1 and the other side wall and ensure that the middle bowls are placed neatly without tipping.

[0055] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, a cup area 4 is arranged between the shallow plate area 1 and the side wall perpendicular to the first wire strip 11, and the cup area 4 includes at least two fourth wire strips 41 arranged in parallel, and the fourth wire strips 41 are arranged perpendicular to the first wire strip 11, and a plurality of parallel positioning wire strips 42 are arranged between two adjacent fourth wire strips 41, and one end of the positioning wire strip 42 away from the side wall protrudes upward to form a limiting protrusion 421, and a fourth positioning rod 43 is arranged at one end of the positioning wire strip 42 close to the side wall, and the cup is limited between the limiting protrusion 421 and the fourth positioning rod 43.

[0056] In the above scheme, by limiting the cup between the limiting protrusion 421 and the fourth positioning rod 43, the cup can be effectively prevented from shifting during the continuous flushing process of the dishwasher. At the same time, by directly turning the cup upside down on the positioning wire strip 42, compared with the existing scheme of turning the cup upside down on the positioning rod, the present invention can place a larger number of cups while ensuring the positioning of the cups.

[0057] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, a large bowl area 5 is further arranged between the shallow plate area 1 and the cup area 4, and the large bowl area 5 comprises at least two fifth wire strips 51 arranged in parallel, the fifth wire strips 51 are perpendicular to the first wire strips 11, and a plurality of fifth positioning rods 52 are symmetrically distributed on adjacent fifth wire strips 51, and the large bowl is positioned between adjacent fifth positioning rods 52;

[0058] In the above scheme, the size of the large bowl is larger than that of the medium bowl. Since the size of the large bowl is larger than that of the medium bowl, the interval between adjacent fifth positioning rods 52 is larger than the interval between adjacent third positioning rods 32. Preferably, the large bowl is a soup bowl or tableware similar to a soup bowl. Since a small number of soup bowls are used for each meal in a family, a large bowl area 5 for placing only one large bowl is provided in a limited area between the shallow plate area 1 and the cup area 4. At the same time, by providing the fifth positioning rod 52 on the fifth wire strip 51, the stability of the large bowl when placed is further ensured. Since the medium bowl is deeper than the shallow plate, the spacing between adjacent fifth positioning rods 52 on each fifth wire strip 51 is larger than the spacing between adjacent first positioning rods 12 on each first wire strip 11.

[0059] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, a small bowl area 6 is arranged between the middle bowl area 3 and the side wall perpendicular to the third wire strip 31, and the small bowl area 6 includes at least two sixth wire strips 61 arranged in parallel, the sixth wire strips 61 are parallel to the third wire strip 31, and a plurality of sixth positioning rods 62 are symmetrically distributed on adjacent sixth wire strips 61, and the small bowl is positioned between adjacent sixth positioning rods 62;

[0060] In the above scheme, the size of the small bowl is smaller than that of the middle bowl. Since the size of the small bowl is smaller than that of the middle bowl, the interval between the adjacent sixth wire strips 61 is smaller than the interval between the adjacent third wire strips 31. Preferably, the small bowl is a rice bowl or a tableware similar to a rice bowl. Since the number of rice bowls used for each meal in the family is small, an area where more small bowls can be placed is set between the middle bowl area 3 and the side wall opposite to the middle bowl area 3. At the same time, the stability of the small bowl when placed is ensured by setting the sixth positioning rod 62 on the sixth wire strip 61, and a bending portion bent toward the bottom of the small bowl is formed in the middle of the sixth positioning rod 62, so as to adapt to the inclined small bowl and form a better support. The sixth positioning rod 62 includes a sixth positioning rod first section 621 fixedly connected to the sixth wire strip 61, and the end of the sixth positioning rod first section 621 is bent to form a sixth positioning rod transition section 622, and then bent into a sixth positioning rod second section 623 parallel to the sixth positioning rod first section 621 and extending upward, forming a sixth positioning rod 62 with a certain bend. Since the small bowl is deeper than the shallow plate, the distance between adjacent sixth positioning rods 62 on each sixth wire strip 61 is greater than the distance between adjacent first positioning rods 12 on each first wire strip 11 .

[0061] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, the small bowl area 6 includes four sixth wire strips 61 arranged in parallel, and the two sixth wire strips 61 located in the middle are rotatable relative to the base frame, so that the sixth positioning rods 62 on the two sixth wire strips 61 in the middle are in an upright state or a laid down state.

[0062] In the above solution, the two sixth wire strips 61 located in the middle are arranged to be rotatable and adjustable relative to the bottom frame, so as to free up a larger space for placing tableware.

[0063] Further, such as Figure 5 As shown, a chopstick cage accommodating area 7 is further arranged between the middle bowl area 3 and the small bowl area 6, and the chopstick cage accommodating area 7 comprises two seventh wire strips 71 arranged in parallel, one end of the two seventh wire strips 71 vertically extends upward along the side wall perpendicular to the seventh wire strip 71 to form a bracket 711, the bottom surface of the chopstick cage is arranged on the sixth wire strip 61, and the side wall of the chopstick cage is suspended on the bracket 711; preferably, the other end of the two seventh wire strips 71 is foldable relative to the bottom frame;

[0064] In the above scheme, the tableware contained in the chopstick cage includes chopsticks, knives and forks, soup spoons, soup spoons and other tableware. The chopstick cage is suspended and positioned by setting a bracket 711, thereby effectively utilizing the limited space between the small bowl area 6 and the middle bowl area 3. Since the dishwasher of the present invention is provided with a filter at the bottom of the inner tank 200, the dishwasher rack 100 is placed in the inner tank 200, and the position of the chopstick cage accommodating area 7 corresponds to the position of the filter in the vertical direction. The present invention sets the end of the seventh wire 71 provided with the chopstick cage bracket 711 to be foldable relative to the bottom of the rack 100, that is, the entire chopstick cage accommodating area 7 is foldable. The advantage of such a setting is that when the filter needs to be cleaned, the filter can be cleaned by only folding the chopstick cage accommodating area 7, and the chopstick cage can be disassembled from the bracket 711 without affecting the folding process of the chopstick cage accommodating area 7. During use, the user does not need to take out the entire dishwasher rack 100, which saves cleaning steps and avoids repeated contact between the dishwasher rack 100 and the inner tank 200. The filter can be easily cleaned while protecting the inner tank 200, killing two birds with one stone.

[0065] In the present invention, in order to further ensure the stability of the chopstick cage in the chopstick cage accommodating area 7, at least one connecting rod is mounted on the two seventh wire strips 71, the length of the connecting rod is greater than or equal to the width of the two seventh wire strips 71, and seventh positioning rods 72 are respectively arranged at both ends of the connecting rod. The end of the seventh positioning rod 72 is folded away from the chopstick cage accommodating area 7 to facilitate the chopstick cage to enter the accommodating area, and the chopstick cage is positioned in the space enclosed by the seventh positioning rod 72 and the bracket 711.

[0066] Further, such as Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the shelf 100 further includes at least one bracket 8 , and the bracket 8 includes a support plate 81 having a planar structure. The support plate 81 is arranged on any side wall of the main body of the shelf 100 , and the condiment plates and / or cups are placed on the support plate 81 .

[0067] In the above scheme, in order to make full use of the upper space of the main body of the shelf 100, a bracket 8 is provided on the side wall of the main body of the shelf 100 to place dishes, cups and other tableware. The bracket 8 is detachably arranged relative to the main body of the shelf 100, and the angle of the support plate 81 relative to the side wall of the main body of the shelf 100 is adjustable to meet the placement requirements of different tableware, and the height of the bracket 8 can be adjusted according to the height of the tableware on the main body of the shelf 100, which has high flexibility in use.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] like Figure 6-Figure 20 A rack 8 of a dishwasher is shown, the rack 8 comprises a support member and a support plate 81, the support plate 81 is rotatably arranged on the support member through an assembly member 83, and the angle and / or height of the support plate 81 relative to the support member are adjustable.

[0070] In the above scheme, the dishwasher has an inner tank 200, and the dishwasher rack 100 is placed in the inner tank 200 to support the tableware. The support member is arranged on the inner tank 200, and a plurality of plug holes are arranged at the bottom edge of the inner tank 200 for the support member to be plugged in. At this time, the support member just contacts the side wall of the rack 100, and the support plate 81 is just arranged on the side wall of the rack 100 of the dishwasher after being connected to the support member through the assembly member 83. The bracket 8 of the present invention can adjust the angle between the support plate 81 and the support member according to the shape of the tableware, and adjust the height of the support plate 81 according to the height of the tableware, so that the upper space of the rack 100 can be used most reasonably, so that the space utilization rate inside the dishwasher is higher and the washing effect is better.

[0071] Further, such as Figure 6-Figure 25 As shown, the support member is two support rods 82 arranged in parallel. Fig.21 As shown in FIG. 25 , the assembly part 83 includes a long strip-shaped body 831, and channels 832 for inserting the support rod 82 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the body 831. The assembly part 83 is assembled on the support rod 82 by inserting the support rod 82 into the channels 832. The outer edge of the channel 832 is provided with a first limiting structure for limiting the flipping angle and height of the support plate 81. By providing the first limiting structure, the present invention can adjust the flipping angle and height between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 according to the shape and height of the tableware, and has higher flexibility.

[0072] Further, such as Figure 21-Figure 25As shown, the first limiting structure includes a first stop portion 8331 and a second stop portion 8332, and a matching portion 811 is provided on one side of the support plate 81 connected to the assembly part 83. When the support plate 81 is flipped from a vertical state to a first angle, the matching portion 811 is stopped by the first stop portion 8331. When the support plate 81 is flipped from the first angle to the second angle, the matching portion 811 is stopped by the second stop portion 8332. The first angle is smaller than the second angle.

[0073] In the above solution, there are at least three states between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82, such as Figure 6-Figure 10 As shown, the first state is when the support plate 81 is in a vertical state, the angle between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 is zero degrees, and the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 fit together; Figure 11-Figure 15 As shown, the second state is when the angle between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 is the first angle, at this time the support plate 81 is flipped from the vertical state to the first angle, at this time the support plate 81 is stopped by the first stop portion 8331 and the support plate 81 is positioned at the first angle; Figure 16-Figure 20 As shown, the third state is when the angle between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 is a second angle, at which time the support plate 81 flips from the first angle to the second angle, and the support plate 81 is stopped by the second stop portion 8332 to position the support plate 81 at the second angle.

[0074] Further, such as Figure 21-Figure 25 As shown, the first stop portion 8331 and the second stop portion 8332 are connected in a stepped manner, and the surface of the first stop portion 8331 is a smooth arc surface. When the support plate 81 flips from the first angle to the second angle, the matching portion 811 passes over the surface of the first stop portion 8331 and squeezes the channel 832 to clamp the support rod 82.

[0075] In the above scheme, the first stopper 8331 and the second stopper 8332 are set to a stepped structure, and the height of the second stopper 8332 is the height of the first stopper 8331. When the support plate 81 flips to the first angle, the support plate 81 is located at the connection between the stepped structure and the channel 832 and is stopped by the first stopper 8331. When the support plate 81 flips to the second angle, the support plate 81 is located at the connection between the first stopper 8331 and the second stopper 8332 in the stepped structure and is stopped by the second stopper 8332. The outer surface of the first stopper 8331 is set to a smooth cambered surface, which can reduce the flipping difficulty of the support plate 81 when it passes over the surface of the first stopper 8331. At the same time, when the support plate 81 passes over the surface of the first stopper 8331, an extrusion force is generated on the channel 832, so that the space of the channel 832 becomes smaller, and the support rod 82 located in the channel 832 is clamped, thereby fixing the height of the support plate 81. Therefore, when the support plate 81 is in a vertical state and at a first angle, the height of the support plate 81 can be adjusted. When the desired height is reached, the support plate 81 is folded to a second angle, and the height of the support plate 81 is fixed.

[0076] Further, such as Figure 21-Figure 25 As shown, the first limiting structure includes a plurality of first stop portions 8331 and a plurality of second stop portions 8332 arranged in parallel along the length direction of the channel 832, the plurality of second stop portions 8332 are arranged on the same axis, and the lengths of the plurality of first stop portions 8331 increase sequentially along the direction of the bottom end of the support rod 82.

[0077] In the above scheme, the purpose of setting a plurality of first stoppers 8331 and second stoppers 8332 is to ensure the stability of the flip angle and height between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82, since the support plate 81 has a certain width. The purpose of the length of the plurality of first stoppers 8331 increasing in sequence along the direction of the bottom end of the support rod 82 is to ensure that when the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 are at a first angle, the matching portion 811 of the support plate 81 and all the first stoppers 8331 are in conflict, and at this time, the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 are at an acute angle; when the plurality of second stoppers 8332 are arranged on the same axis, when the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 are at a second angle, the matching portion 811 of the support plate 81 and all the second stoppers 8332 are in conflict, and at this time, the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 are at a right angle.

[0078] Further, such as Figure 21-Figure 25 As shown, a second limiting structure is also provided on the main body 831, and a crossbeam 812 is also provided on the side where the support plate 81 is connected to the assembly part 83. The matching part 811 is located on both sides of the crossbeam 812. When the support plate 81 is flipped from the first angle to the second angle, the second limiting structure and the crossbeam 812 are in limiting conflict.

[0079] In the above scheme, during the process of the support plate 81 flipping from the first angle to the second angle, the matching portion 811 of the support plate 81 passes over the surface of the first stop portion 8331 to reach the second stop portion 8332. At this time, the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 form a right angle. When too much force is applied or the tableware placed on the support plate 81 is too heavy, the matching portion 811 may pass over the second stop portion 8332, so that an obtuse angle is formed between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82. When the support plate 81 and the support rod 82 form an obtuse angle, the tableware placed on the support plate 81 will slide off the support plate 81, and the stability of the tableware placement is poor. Therefore, the present invention prevents the support plate 81 from further folding over by setting a second limiting structure, that is, prevents the matching portion 811 from passing over the second stop portion 8332 to form an obtuse angle between the support plate 81 and the support rod 82.

[0080] Further, such as Figure 21-Figure 25 The second limiting structure shown is at least one third stop portion 8341 formed by the main body 831 between the two side channels 832 protruding toward the top end of the support rod 82. When the support plate 81 flips from the first angle to the second angle, the beam 812 is stopped by the third stop portion 8341.

[0081] In the above scheme, the third stopper 8341 is used to stop the crossbeam 812 of the support plate 81, effectively preventing the support plate 81 from folding over. The third stopper 8341 is provided with a concave surface on one side close to the crossbeam 812, and when the support plate 81 is at the second angle, the crossbeam 812 is limited in the concave surface. In order to further ensure the stopping effect and realize the overall symmetry and aesthetics of the bracket 8, it is preferred that the body 831 between the two side channels 832 protrudes upward to form two third stoppers 8341, and when the support plate 81 flips from the first angle to the second angle, the crossbeam 812 is stopped by the two third stoppers 8341 at the same time.

[0082] Further, such as Figure 21-Figure 25 In order to strengthen the strength of the third stopper 8341, a reinforcing rib 8342 is provided on the side of the third stopper 8341 away from the cross beam 812. The reinforcing rib 8342 is a protrusion of the end of the third stopper 8341 toward the bottom edge of the body 831, and forms a convex ridge at the junction of the third stopper 8341 and the body 831. The convex ridge extends toward the bottom edge of the body 831 until it is connected to the bottom edge of the body 831. The advantage of this arrangement is that the strength of the entire third stopper 8341 is enhanced.

[0083] Further, such as Figure 21-Figure 25As shown, one end of the channel 832 is flush with the bottom edge of the body 831, and the other end protrudes from the body 831 to form a mounting portion, a rotating shaft 835 is arranged on both sides of the mounting portion, a mounting groove is arranged between the cross beam 812 and the matching portion 811, and the rotating shaft 835 can be rotatably arranged in the mounting groove.

[0084] In the above scheme, first mounting holes for the rotating shaft 835 are set at both ends of the beam 812, and second mounting holes for the rotating shaft 835 are set at one end of the matching portion 811 close to the beam 812, and a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole are set in each mounting groove, and the rotating shaft 835 extends into the first mounting hole and the second mounting hole respectively, so that the support plate 81 and the mounting portion are rotatably arranged.

[0085] Further, such as Figure 6-Figure 20 As shown, the upper surface of the support plate 81 is provided with an anti-slip structure 813 to prevent the tableware on the support plate 81 from sliding off;

[0086] In the above solution, since the dishwasher has a certain impact force on the tableware placed on the support plate 81 during operation, the present invention sets an anti-skid structure 813 to prevent the tableware on the support plate 81 from shifting. Preferably, the support plate 81 is a grid structure, and the anti-skid structure 813 is a convex column at the intersection of the grid structure.

[0087] Example 3

[0088] like Figure 26-Figure 30 As shown, a dishwasher rack 100 is provided, the dishwasher having an inner tank 200, and the dishwasher rack 100 is placed in the inner tank 200 to support tableware. The rack 100 comprises a supporting structure and a hanging structure, the supporting structure is used for supporting and placing the rack 100, and the hanging structure is used for hanging and placing the rack 100.

[0089] In the above scheme, the dishwasher rack 100 proposed by the present invention has a simple structure and can be compatible with support and suspension purposes. According to the different structures of the inner tank 200, one of the methods can be selected to place the rack 100, thereby enhancing the versatility of the dishwasher rack 100 of the present invention. The dishwasher rack 100 of the present invention can be applied to a dishwasher with a step 201-shaped inner tank 200, using a suspension structure for suspension support, and can also be applied to a dishwasher without a step 201-shaped inner tank 200 for support using a support structure. It can be applicable to different types of dishwashers and has high versatility.

[0090] Further, such as Figure 27-Figure 28 As shown, the support structure includes support feet arranged at the bottom of the shelf 100, and the shelf 100 is placed on the bottom wall of the inner container 200 through the support feet.

[0091] In the above scheme, a plurality of supporting feet are arranged at the bottom of the rack 100, preferably at the intersection of two intersecting bottom edges of the dishwasher rack 100. The present invention realizes that the rack 100 is directly placed in the inner tank 200 through the supporting feet, thereby avoiding the need to set support columns in the inner tank 200 and increasing the space utilization rate of the inner tank 200.

[0092] Further, such as Figure 27-Figure 28 As shown, the supporting foot includes a supporting portion and a connecting portion, the supporting portion includes a first supporting member and a second supporting member arranged in parallel, one end of the first supporting member is connected to the side wall of the shelf 100, and the other end is supported on the inner pot 200, one end of the second supporting member is connected to the bottom of the shelf 100, and the other end is supported on the inner pot 200, and the connecting member connects the ends of the first supporting member and the second supporting member that are in contact with the inner pot 200.

[0093] In the above scheme, the first support member is connected to the side wall of the shelf 100, and the second support member is connected to the bottom of the shelf 100. The support feet play a supporting role on both the bottom and the side wall of the shelf 100, ensuring the support stability of the entire shelf 100. In addition, the ends of the first support member and the second support member that are in contact with the bottom of the inner liner 200 are connected by a connecting member, which increases the contact area between the entire support foot and the bottom of the inner liner 200, thereby reducing the force of the support member on the inner liner 200 per unit area, and preventing the support foot from damaging the bottom of the inner liner 200.

[0094] Further, such as Figure 27-Figure 28 As shown, the first support member is a first support rod 1021, and the second support member is a second support rod 1022. The first support rod 1021 and the second support rod 1022 are respectively perpendicular to the bottom surface of the shelf 100, and the length of the first support rod 1021 is greater than the length of the second support rod 1022. The connecting member is a connecting rod 1023, and the connecting rod 1023 is perpendicular to the side wall of the shelf 100 connected to the first support rod 1021. The first support rod 1021, the second support rod 1022 and the connecting rod 1023 form a U-shaped structure.

[0095] In the above scheme, the first support rod 1021, the second support rod 1022 and the connecting rod 1023 are U-shaped and protrude toward the bottom of the shelf 100, and can stop against the bottom of the inner liner 200 or the edge of the inner liner 200 to play a supporting role. The overall structure is simple and beautiful.

[0096] Further, such as Fig.28 As shown, a protective structure 106 is also provided on the supporting foot to prevent the supporting foot from damaging the inner liner 200 .

[0097] In the above scheme, since the dishwasher rack 100 may be made of metal, when the dishwasher rack 100 is taken in and out for many times, the bottom foot and the inner tank 200 may touch each other for many times, which may cause damage to the inner tank 200. Therefore, a protective structure 106 is provided on the supporting foot. The protective structure 106 may be made of a material with a certain elasticity, which plays a buffering role in the contact between the two, and reduces the damage of the inner tank 200 by the dishwasher rack 100. At the same time, it can also prevent the rack 100 from shifting under the impact of water flow during the operation of the dishwasher. Preferably, the anti-slip structure 813 is a flexible edging wrapped around the connection between the first support rod 1021 and the connector.

[0098] Further, such as Figure 29-Figure 30 As shown, the hanging structure includes hanging members arranged on the side walls of the shelf 100, and the shelf 100 is hung on the opposite wall of the inner container 200 through the hanging members.

[0099] In the above scheme, since the internal structure of the dishwasher is complex and the side wall of the inner tank 200 has a corresponding protruding structure, the dishwasher rack 100 is supported by the hanging structure by using the protruding structure, thereby reducing the pressure of the bottom of the dishwasher rack 100 on the inner tank 200 and protecting the inner tank 200.

[0100] Furthermore, the hanging member at least includes hanging beams 101 respectively arranged on the side walls of the shelf 100 opposite to the shelf 100, the hanging beams 101 are parallel to the bottom of the shelf 100, steps 201 are arranged on the opposite side walls of the inner tank 200, and the hanging beams 101 are placed on the steps 201 to hang the shelf 100 on the wall of the inner tank 200.

[0101] In the above solution, when there is a protruding step 201 in the inner tank 200, a suspension beam 101 is provided on the dishwasher rack 100 for placement on the step 201 so that the rack 100 is suspended in the inner tank 200. The suspension beam 101 can be provided only on the side walls of the rack 100 that are arranged opposite to each other, or the suspension beam 101 can be provided on all the surrounding side walls. When the suspension beam 101 is provided on all the surrounding side walls, the suspension beams 101 on each side wall are connected end to end and form a circle along the side wall of the rack 100. Therefore, no matter how the user places it, the suspension beam 101 can be placed on the step 201 to suspend the rack 100.

[0102] Example 4

[0103] like Figure 31-Figure 32As shown, the dishwasher rack 100 also includes a chopstick cage accommodating area 7, and the chopstick cage is detachably placed in the chopstick cage accommodating area 7, and the chopstick cage includes a boxed structure for placing chopsticks, spoons and other tableware.

The main body of the rack 100 is composed of a plurality of crisscross wire strips, and the crisscrossing of the crisscross wire strips has a cross structure, and the hinge 73 has a mounting groove that matches the cross structure. The cross structure is a T-shaped structure, and a T-shaped mounting groove with an opening downward is provided at the bottom of the hinge 73 for fixed installation at the T-shaped structure. One end of the sixth wire strip 61 connected to the hinge 73 is bent to form a rotating shaft that cooperates with the hinge 73, and the rotating shaft is inserted into the shaft hole 631 of the hinge 73 and is rotatably connected to the hinge 73; preferably, the sixth wire strip 61 has two and is arranged in parallel, and the ends of the same side of the two sixth wire strips 61 are bent in opposite directions to form two coaxial rotating shafts, and the hinge 73 has two hinge 73 shaft holes 631, respectively placing the two rotating shafts. Sixth positioning rods 62 are provided on both sides of the sixth wire strip 61, which are arranged at a position away from the hinge 73 at the bottom of the main body of the shelf 100 to support the chopstick cage horizontally. The sixth positioning rod 62 is bent toward the outside of the chopstick cage accommodating area 7, and an opening slightly larger than the size of the chopstick cage module is formed at the upper part of the accommodating space. The main body of the shelf 100 includes a limiting rod 103, which is arranged at a position at the bottom of the main body of the shelf 100 away from the hinge 73 to support the chopstick cage horizontally.

[0104] like Fig.26 As shown, since the dishwasher of the present invention is provided with a filter at the bottom of the inner tank 200, the dishwasher rack 100 is placed in the inner tank 200, and the position of the chopstick cage accommodating area 7 corresponds to the position of the filter in the vertical direction. The present invention sets the end of the seventh wire 71 provided with the chopstick cage bracket 711 to be foldable relative to the bottom of the rack 100, that is, the entire chopstick cage accommodating area 7 is foldable. The advantage of such a setting is that when the filter needs to be cleaned, the filter can be cleaned by only folding the chopstick cage accommodating area 7, and the chopstick cage can be removed from the bracket 711 without affecting the folding process of the chopstick cage accommodating area 7. During use, the user does not need to take out the entire dishwasher rack 100, which saves the cleaning steps and avoids repeated contact between the dishwasher rack 100 and the inner tank 200. The filter cleaning step can be facilitated under the premise of protecting the inner tank 200, killing two birds with one stone.

[0105] Example 5

[0106] As shown in FIG33, the dishwasher rack 100 of the present invention is also provided with a small bowl placement area, and the small bowl placement area includes a sixth wire strip 61 provided on the main body of the rack 100, and a sixth positioning rod 62 is provided on the sixth wire strip 61.

[0112] The sixth wire strip 61 is connected to the main body of the shelf 100 through a fixing member, and the fixing member has an axial hole 631 set in the X direction. The sixth wire strip 61 is rotatably set in the axial hole 631 and can rotate along the X axis. When the sixth wire strip 61 rotates along the axis of the X direction, the sixth positioning rod 62 set on the sixth wire strip 61 can be driven to rotate, and the end of the sixth positioning rod 62 can draw an arc track. A limited bridge 634 is set between the two axial holes 631, and the limited bridge 634 can fix the distance between the two axial holes 631 to prevent the adjacent sixth wire strips 61 from moving relative to each other in the Y direction.

[0113] like Fig.33 As shown, the fixing member is fixedly mounted on the main body of the shelf 100, the main body of the shelf 100 is provided with a first mounting rod 104 and a second mounting rod 105, the first fixing member 63 is mounted on the first mounting rod 10411, the second fixing member 64 is fixedly mounted on the second mounting rod 105, and a slide groove 632 is provided at the bottom of the fixing member, as shown in FIG. Figure 34-Figure 40 As shown, it is used to accommodate the mounting rod and allow the fixing member to slide along the mounting rod, and the slide groove 632 matches the size of the mounting rod. The distance between the first mounting rod 104 and the second mounting rod 105 is less than the length of the sixth wire strip 61, and the end of the sixth wire strip 61 can slightly extend out of the shaft hole 631.

[0114] like Figure 34-Figure 38 As shown, the first fixing member 63 is provided with a limiting structure for limiting the rotation angle of the tableware support rod 711, and the limiting structure is a limiting groove 633, wherein at least one sixth positioning rod 62 can be limited in the limiting groove 633, as shown in FIG.
