Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of dishwasher technology, specifically, it relates to a dishwasher shelf and a dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] Dishwashers have sprayers at the bottom of the inner drum or on the shelves. They wash and rinse glassware, cups, tableware, and other items by spraying pressurized water mixed with detergent onto glassware and ceramicware.

[0003] When dishes are pressure-washed in a dishwasher by spraying water, there is a possibility that items may fall out of the dishwasher while it is in use; similarly, there is a possibility that items may fall out of the dishwasher when the rack is pulled out or slid into the dishwasher.

[0004] Specifically, utensils such as stemmed glasses and wine glasses are typically suspended on a mounting device on the rack in a dishwasher. A search of existing technology reveals a cup holder groove at the end of a plate-like structure furthest from the mounting component. This cup holder groove is used to place tableware with a T-shaped structure, such as stemmed glasses or other rod-shaped utensils. One end of the rod-shaped structure has a large base, allowing the rod-shaped structure to rest in the cup holder groove, and the base can abut against the upper surface of the groove, thus suspending the tableware there. Due to this suspension arrangement, stemmed glasses will constantly shake during high-pressure washing and may even fall off.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a dishwasher rack. By providing an auxiliary rack basket with a movable side that can be flipped up and down on the main rack basket, and grooves are provided at intervals on the movable side, the tableware with rod-like structures can be limited and fixed, so as to avoid shaking or even falling off under the impact of high-pressure washing water, and thus causing damage.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide a dishwasher.

[0008] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: A dishwasher shelf is provided, comprising a main shelf basket for storing dishes to be washed; and an auxiliary shelf basket disposed on the main shelf basket, wherein the auxiliary shelf basket includes...

[0009] The base plate and multiple fixed edges are connected end to end along the outer edge and / or end face of the base plate to form a semi-enclosed frame structure with a notch.

[0010] The movable rim is rotatably set at the notch of the semi-frame structure. Multiple grooves are spaced apart on the movable rim for placing tableware with rod-like structures.

[0011] Furthermore, a limit component is provided between the movable enclosure edge and the notch of the semi-enclosed frame structure to provide a limiting force for suspension when the movable enclosure edge rotates to different angles.

[0012] Furthermore, the limiting component includes,

[0013] A limiting protrusion is provided on one side and / or the other side opposite to the moving side and the fixed side, and the limiting protrusion extends outward toward the corresponding fixed side;

[0014] Multiple limiting grooves are provided on at least one of the fixed edges forming the notch, and the multiple limiting grooves are spaced apart on the rotation path of the corresponding limiting protrusion.

[0015] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the main shelf basket is provided with multiple bent support parts, which are connected sequentially from one side of the main shelf basket to the opposite side, forming a serrated shape.

[0016] Furthermore, the included angle of the bending support includes a vertical arm and an inclined arm, and the difference between the included angles of the vertical wall and the inclined arm in adjacent bending supports is an integer multiple of the included angle between two adjacent limiting grooves.

[0017] Furthermore, the height of the inclined arms of each bent support gradually increases along the side where the main shelf basket and the auxiliary shelf basket are connected to the opposite side.

[0018] Furthermore, a connecting structure is provided between the main shelf basket and the auxiliary shelf basket to rotatably and / or slidably connect the auxiliary shelf basket to the main shelf basket. The connecting structure includes...

[0019] The first bent arm has one end connected to the fixed edge of the auxiliary shelf basket on the side opposite to the moving edge, and the other end bent downward to form the first shaft hole.

[0020] The connecting block has a first fixed shaft on one side that matches the shaft hole, and an inwardly recessed clamping opening on the side of the connecting block away from the moving edge, for slidingly fixing the connecting block to the main shelf basket.

[0021] Furthermore, the auxiliary shelf basket is provided with a second bending arm on the same side as the first bending arm, and the end of the second bending arm away from the auxiliary shelf basket bends downward and extends downward.

[0022] The connecting block is provided with a limit arm on the side away from the first fixed axis, which abuts against the outer wall of the second bending arm.

[0023] Furthermore, a second fixed shaft is provided on the side of the connecting block away from the first fixed shaft, and the second bent arm bends downward and extends to form a second shaft hole that matches the second fixed shaft.

[0024] The present invention also provides a dishwasher having any of the dishwasher shelves described above.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0026] (1) The present invention provides an auxiliary shelf basket on the main shelf basket, and the auxiliary shelf basket has a movable side that can be flipped up and down, and the movable side is provided with grooves at intervals, so as to limit and fix the tableware with rod-shaped structure, and prevent it from shaking or even falling off under the impact of high pressure washing water, thereby causing damage.

[0027] (2) The present invention provides a limiting component between the moving edge and the corresponding fixed edge, and the limiting component includes a limiting protrusion and multiple limiting grooves, which are spaced apart on the rotation path of the moving edge. During the rotation of the moving edge, the limiting protrusion on it will dynamically engage with the multiple limiting grooves one by one, ensuring that the moving edge remains fixed after rotating to a certain angle.

[0028] (3) The present invention provides multiple bent support parts on the bottom wall of the main shelf basket. The multiple bent support parts 11 are connected sequentially from the side where the main shelf basket and the auxiliary shelf basket are connected to the opposite side. The whole is serrated. After the moving side rotates, the matching stem cups are placed in each groove. Then the cup seat of the stem cup abuts against the upper end surface of the groove, and the cup mouth can fit against the inclined surface of the bent support part. This ensures that the stem cup is stably set between the auxiliary shelf basket and the main shelf basket, and ensures that the stem cup will shake or even fall off during the impact of high pressure washing water or the process of pulling the main shelf basket.

[0029] (4) By setting a connecting block and setting a first bending arm and a second bending arm on the auxiliary shelf basket, wherein the connecting block has a clamping opening and a limiting arm that abuts against the second bending arm, the auxiliary shelf basket can move up and down along the vertical direction of the main shelf basket and flip itself up and down. This, together with the angle adjustment of the fixed side, has a dual effect, ensuring that the rod-shaped utensils to be washed can fit against the end face of the groove of the moving side and the bottom wall of the main shelf basket respectively, so that the utensils to be washed are placed more stably and securely, avoiding shaking or even falling off due to the impact of high-pressure washing water, which would cause damage.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a dishwasher rack according to the present invention includes a main rack basket 1 for storing dishes to be washed; and an auxiliary rack basket 2 disposed on the main rack basket 1, wherein the auxiliary rack basket 2 includes...

[0047] The base plate and multiple fixed edges 21 are connected end to end along the outer edge and / or end face of the base plate to form a semi-enclosed frame structure with a notch.

[0048] The movable edge 4 is rotatably set at the notch of the semi-frame structure. Multiple grooves 42 are provided on the movable edge 4 at intervals for placing tableware with rod-shaped structures.

[0049] In this invention, the main shelf basket 1 has a bottom wall for holding tableware and a surrounding wall formed around the bottom wall, thus forming a basket frame with an open top. The auxiliary shelf basket 2 is disposed on the surrounding wall of one side of the main shelf basket 1. Specifically, the auxiliary shelf basket 2 includes a bottom plate and multiple fixed edges 21, as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 4In the middle, there are three fixed edges 21. The three fixed edges 21 are respectively set around the outer edge of the base plate to form a semi-enclosed frame structure with a notch. Alternatively, the three fixed edges 21 can also be set on the upper surface of the base plate, and are also set along the outer edge close to the base plate.

[0050] A movable side 4 is rotatably connected between the two fixed sides 21 forming the notch. Multiple grooves 42, with openings recessed into the width direction, are spaced along the length of the movable side 4. Tableware with rod-like structures, such as stemmed glasses, wine glasses, and spoons, can be placed in these grooves 42. The following description uses a stemmed glass as an example. The stem of the stemmed glass is inserted into the groove 42, and the tailstock can be secured to the end face of the groove 42. One end of the glass can rest on the bottom wall of the main shelf basket 1, thus effectively placing the stemmed glass on the main shelf basket 1 of the dishwasher. This provides a more stable fixation of the stemmed glass compared to placing it directly on the main shelf basket 1 or hanging it.

[0051] In addition, a pivot 44 is provided on the side wall of the movable edge 4 relative to the two fixed edges 21, and pivot holes matching the pivot 44 are provided on the side walls of the two fixed edges 21. The pivot 44 and the pivot holes are interference-fitted. Specifically, since the edge that fixes the stemmed glass is the movable edge 4, the movable edge 4 can adaptively adjust its tilt angle according to the length of the stemmed glass and the tilt angle of the bottom wall of the dishwasher's main rack basket 1. This allows the stem and mouth of the stemmed glass to be limited by the groove 42, and the rim of the glass to contact the bottom wall of the main rack basket 1, thus preventing the stemmed glass from shaking or even falling off during high-pressure washing and causing damage.

[0052] Specifically, multiple grooves 42 are provided on the movable edge 4, forming movable edge protrusions 41 on both sides of the grooves 42, and the movable edge protrusions 41 have a hollow structure. Two limiting rubber blocks 43 are symmetrically arranged at the opening of the grooves 42, forming a triangle. This ensures a certain guiding and positioning effect when inserting or removing the wine glass; and the limiting rubber blocks 43 themselves have a certain limiting effect, preventing the wine glass from falling off when being rinsed.

[0053] Furthermore, the bottom plate of the auxiliary shelf basket 2 has a hollow structure, which is composed of multiple crisscrossing connecting rods 22, and short rods 23 protruding upwards are provided at each of the crisscrossing positions. This allows chopsticks to be placed on the bottom plate of the auxiliary shelf basket 2, and effectively limits the chopsticks to prevent them from rolling off the auxiliary shelf basket 2.

[0054] Furthermore, a limit component is provided between the movable edge 4 and the notch of the semi-frame structure to provide a limiting force for suspension when the movable edge 4 rotates to different angles.

[0055] In this invention, a limiting component is provided between the notches of the two fixed edges 21 and the movable edge 4. This limiting component ensures that when the movable edge 4 rotates to different angles, it can be effectively suspended by a limiting force. Since the rotating shaft 44 of the movable edge 4 and the rotating shaft hole of the fixed edges 21 are interference-fitted, the movable edge 4 may rotate due to a large number of suspended stemmed glasses or the impact of high-pressure washing water. By providing the limiting component between them, the resistance to rotation of the movable edge 4 relative to the fixed edges 21 is further increased, ensuring that the angle of the movable edge 4 will not easily change after adjustment.

[0056] Furthermore, the limiting component includes a limiting protrusion 45 and a plurality of limiting grooves 24.

[0057] The limiting protrusion 45 is disposed on one side and / or the other side opposite to the moving side 4 and the fixed side 21, and the limiting protrusion 45 extends outward toward the corresponding fixed side 21.

[0058] Multiple limiting grooves 24 are provided on at least one of the fixed edges 21 forming the notch, and the multiple limiting grooves 24 are spaced apart on the rotation path of the corresponding limiting protrusions 45.

[0059] In this invention, a limiting protrusion 45 is provided on one or both sides of the movable enclosure 4 relative to the fixed enclosure 21, and the limiting protrusion 45 extends towards the fixed enclosure 21. A plurality of limiting grooves 24 are provided on the corresponding sidewall of the fixed enclosure 21, and the plurality of limiting grooves 24 are spaced apart along the rotation path of the movable enclosure 4. Thus, during the rotation of the movable enclosure 4, the limiting protrusion 45 thereon dynamically engages with each of the plurality of limiting grooves 24.

[0060] The limiting protrusion 45 has a certain elastic force. During the rotation of the moving edge 4, the limiting protrusion 45 will undergo local deformation, ensuring that the limiting protrusion 45 rotates normally on the opposite side of the fixed edge 21. When the limiting protrusion 45 engages with one of the limiting grooves 24, the limiting protrusion 45 returns to its original shape to engage. Preferably, the limiting protrusion 45 and the multiple limiting grooves 24 are cylindrical, and the front end of the limiting protrusion 45 has rounded corners, which can reduce wear and ensure that the limiting protrusion 45 can more easily enter or disengage from the limiting groove 24.

[0061] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the main shelf basket 1 is provided with a plurality of bent support parts 11, which are connected sequentially from the side where the main shelf basket 1 is connected to the auxiliary shelf basket 2 to the opposite side, forming a sawtooth shape.

[0062] In this invention, the bottom wall of the main shelf basket 1 is divided into two halves along the length direction from the front end of the dishwasher towards the interior of the inner drum. Multiple bent support parts 11 are provided on the bottom wall of the half opposite to the auxiliary shelf basket 2. These multiple bent support parts 11 are connected one by one and extend in the opposite direction along the length direction, with the overall projection in the width direction being serrated. After the moving edge 4 is rotated, a matching stemmed glass is placed in each of the grooves 42. The base of the stemmed glass abuts against the upper surface of the groove 42, and the rim of the stemmed glass can fit against the inclined surface of the bent support part 11. Both ends can be completely fitted, ensuring that the stemmed glass is stably placed between the auxiliary shelf basket 2 and the main shelf basket 1. This prevents the stemmed glass from shaking or even falling off during high-pressure washing water impact or when the main shelf basket 1 is pulled out.

[0063] Specifically, multiple bent support parts 11 can be continuously bent through the complete shelf basket wire to form a serrated shape.

[0064] Furthermore, the included angle of the bending support portion 11 includes a vertical arm and an inclined arm, and the difference between the included angles of the vertical wall and the inclined arm in adjacent bending support portions 11 is an integer multiple of the included angle between two adjacent limiting grooves 24.

[0065] In this invention, the bent support part 11 is formed into a sawtooth shape by continuous bending on the shelf basket wire. One of the sawtooths consists of a vertical arm and an inclined arm. The difference between the included angle in the latter's sawtooth and the included angle in the adjacent sawtooth is equal to or a multiple of the included angle between two adjacent limiting grooves. That is, the movable edge 4 can remain horizontal with the inclined arm in the next adjacent sawtooth each time it rotates an angle. Therefore, when clamping the tableware according to the actual placement position on the main shelf basket 1 and the stemmed glasses of different lengths, by rotating the movable edge 4 to a specific angle, the base and mouth of the stemmed glass can be kept in contact with the end face of the corresponding groove 42 and the inclined arm of the bent support part 11 of the corresponding sawtooth, ensuring that the stemmed glasses of the corresponding length can be stably clamped on the auxiliary shelf basket 2 and the main shelf basket 1. That is, stemmed glasses of different lengths can be placed in contact with the inclined arms of different bent support parts 11.

[0066] Furthermore, the height of the inclined arms of each bent support 11 gradually increases along the side where the main shelf basket 1 and the auxiliary shelf basket 2 are connected to the opposite side.

[0067] In this invention, the highest point of each tilting arm increases sequentially in the opposite direction to the length of the main shelf basket 1. Therefore, while ensuring that the angle difference between two adjacent bent support parts 11 remains an integer multiple of the angle between two adjacent limiting grooves 24, the length of the tilting arm of each corresponding bent support part 11 does not need to be set too long.

[0068] Furthermore, a connecting structure 3 is provided between the main shelf basket 1 and the auxiliary shelf basket 2, which rotatably and / or slidably connects the auxiliary shelf basket 2 to the main shelf basket 1. The connecting structure 3 includes...

[0069] The first bent arm 311 has one end connected to the fixed edge 21 on the side of the auxiliary shelf basket 2 relative to the moving edge 4, and the other end bent downward to form the first shaft hole.

[0070] The connecting block 32 has a first fixed shaft 321a on one side that matches the shaft hole. The side of the connecting block 32 away from the moving edge 4 has an inwardly recessed clamping opening for slidingly fixing the connecting block 32 to the main shelf basket 1.

[0071] In this invention, a first bending arm 311 is provided on the outer wall of the fixed enclosure 21 opposite to the moving enclosure 4. The free end of the first bending arm 311 protrudes from the outer wall away from the fixed enclosure 21 and extends vertically downward, thereby forming a first shaft hole. A connecting block 32 is also provided, which includes a first connecting block 321 and a second connecting block 322. The two connecting blocks 32 are joined from left to right to form an L-shape. A first fixed shaft 321a is provided on one side of the first connecting block 321. The first fixed shaft 321a cooperates with the first shaft hole, so that the first bending arm 311 drives the auxiliary shelf basket 2 to rotate around the axis of the first fixed shaft 321a.

[0072] Furthermore, the first connecting block 321 has a clamping opening recessed towards the moving edge 4 on the side away from the fixed edge 21. When the clamping opening is engaged with the shelf wire of the main shelf basket 1, the first connecting block 321 can drive the auxiliary shelf basket 2 to move vertically in the main shelf basket 1. Since the auxiliary shelf basket 2 can move up and down within the main shelf basket 1 and rotate relative to the vertical direction, it can be coordinated with the rotation adjustment of the moving edge plate of the auxiliary shelf basket 2. This further ensures that the stemmed cups of corresponding length can fit as closely as possible to the end face of the corresponding groove 42 and the inclined arm of the bent support 11, with the cup foot and rim respectively.

[0073] Specifically, the clamping opening 321c includes an outer clamping opening 321c and an inner clamping opening 321c, which are connected. The opening width of the outer clamping opening 321c is smaller than the opening width of the inner clamping opening 321c. Preferably, the cross-section of the inner clamping opening 321c is circular, so that it can perfectly fit the shape of the shelf basket wire of the main shelf basket 1, allowing for all-round contact and ensuring that the connecting block 32 (auxiliary shelf basket 2) will not move in the vertical direction of the main shelf basket 1.

[0074] Furthermore, the auxiliary shelf basket 2 is provided with a second bending arm 312 on the same side as the first bending arm 311, and the end of the second bending arm 312 away from the auxiliary shelf basket 2 bends downward and extends.

[0075] The connecting block 32 is provided with a limiting arm 322a on the side away from the first fixed shaft 321a, which abuts against the outer wall of the second bent arm 312.

[0076] The connecting block 32 has a second fixed shaft 321b on the side away from the first fixed shaft 321a, and the second bent arm 312 bends downward and extends to form a second shaft hole that matches the second fixed shaft 321b.

[0077] In this invention, a second bent arm 312 is provided on the auxiliary shelf basket 2 on the same side as the first bent arm 311. The bending trend of the second bent arm 312 is the same as that of the first bent arm 311. A limiting arm 322a is provided on the second connecting block 322, which is vertically oriented and integrally formed with the second connecting block 322. After the first fixed shaft 321a is inserted into the first shaft hole, the connecting block 32 and the first bent arm 311 (auxiliary shelf basket 2) are initially assembled. At this time, the limiting arm 322a abuts against the outer wall of the second bent arm 312.

[0078] Specifically, the second bending arm 312 protrudes away from the auxiliary shelf basket 2 and gradually bends, thus forming the second shaft hole. The connecting block 32, the first bending arm 311, and the second bending arm 312 together constitute the connecting structure 3. After bending, it extends vertically downwards. At this time, when the auxiliary shelf basket 2 is in a horizontal state, the outer wall of the vertically extended part of the limiting arm 322a and the second bending arm 312 is completely abutted and fitted, ensuring the horizontal state of the auxiliary shelf basket 2. In addition, the outer wall of the outwardly protruding and bent part has an arc surface with different curvatures. During the up-and-down flipping process of the auxiliary shelf basket 2, since the limiting arm 322a and the second bending arm 312 are always abutting, the auxiliary shelf basket 2 can remain suspended when rotated to any angle.

[0079] A second fixed shaft 321b is provided on the side opposite to the first fixed shaft 321a on the first connecting block 321, and the second fixed shaft 321b is inserted into the second shaft hole. Furthermore, the axes of the first shaft hole and the second shaft hole coincide or are parallel, thereby ensuring that during the rotation of the auxiliary shelf basket 2, the first fixed shaft 321a and the second fixed shaft 321b together provide rotational support and maintain the axis of rotation. This, in turn, ensures the assembly strength of the connecting block 32 with the first bent arm 311 and the second bent arm 312.

[0080] Furthermore, there is a gap between the first bent arm 311 and the second bent arm 312, the gap being equal to the width of the first connecting block 321. This makes the assembly of the connecting block 321 with the auxiliary shelf basket 2 more compact. The first connecting block 321 has a limiting claw 321d on the side where the first fixed shaft 321a is located. The limiting claw 321d extends horizontally along the axial direction of the first fixed shaft 321a and abuts against the outer wall of the first bent arm 311, thereby ensuring the overall reliability of the connection between the connecting block 321 and the auxiliary shelf basket 2.

[0081] The present invention also provides a dishwasher with a dishwasher rack having any of the above embodiments. The dishwasher includes a main shelf basket 1 and an auxiliary shelf basket 2. The main shelf basket 1 can be slidably installed on the inner tub of the dishwasher, or it can be bottom-plugged and fixed in the inner tub of the dishwasher. When the main shelf basket 1 and the auxiliary shelf basket 2 are installed in the dishwasher, when washing stemmed glasses and other rod-shaped tableware, the auxiliary shelf basket 2 and its movable side 4 can be adaptively adjusted according to the length of the tableware to be washed and the placement position of the tableware in the main shelf basket 1. This allows the two ends of the tableware to be washed to fit as close as possible to the end face of the groove 42 (the upper side wall of the movable side 4) and the bottom wall of the main shelf basket 1. This makes the tableware to be washed more stable and secure before being washed, preventing it from shaking or even falling off due to the impact of high-pressure washing water, which could cause damage.

[0082] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-described technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. The implementation schemes in the above embodiments can also be further combined or replaced. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
