[0046] The following will describe the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The present invention can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and the details in this specification can also be modified or changed in various ways based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating the present invention, not for limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic illustrations of the basic concept of the present invention, and thus the drawings only show components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component may be changed arbitrarily, and the component layout may also be more complicated.

[0048] The present invention provides a chopstick cage for a dishwasher, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the chopstick cage for a dishwasher comprises: a handle 1, two snap-fitting units 2, a chopstick cage body 3, a buckle 4 and a snap-fitting position 5 (such as Figure 5 As shown); the two engaging units 2 are located on both sides of the handle 1; the engaging unit 2 includes two engaging members 21, one end of the engaging member 21 is connected to the handle 1 and the other end is suspended; the buckle 4 is arranged on the chopstick cage body 3 and is used to be detachably engaged with the engaging unit 2; the buckle 4 is provided with a slide 100 (as shown Figure 5 As shown); the engaging position 5 is arranged on the chopstick cage body 3 and is connected with the slide 100; the engaging position 5 is located below the slide 100; when the two engaging members 21 are located in the slide 100, the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21 are in a squeezed state; when the two engaging members 21 are located in the engaging position 5, the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21 are in a released state.

[0049] Specifically, the handle 1 is U-shaped and arranged with its opening facing downward; the two engaging units 2 are distributed on both sides of the handle 1 and are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the two side walls of the handle 1; there are two buckles 4, and the two buckles 4 correspond to the engaging units 2 one by one; the handle 1 is slid down from both sides of the chopstick cage body 3 with its opening facing downward until the engaging piece 21 cooperates with the engaging position 5, so that the handle 1 can be installed and positioned on the chopstick cage body 3.

[0050] like Figure 5 As shown, the engaging position 5 is located below the slide 100 and is connected to the slide 100; the width of the slide 100 is smaller than the width of the engaging position 5, so that when the engaging unit 2 is located in the slide 100, the inner wall of the slide 100 can squeeze the engaging unit 2; when the engaging unit 2 is located in the engaging position 5, the engaging unit 2 loses the squeezing external force and is released. Since one end of the engaging member 21 is suspended, when an external force squeezes the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21, the engaging unit 2 can achieve a certain deformation, and the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21 are close to each other and shortened, so that they can pass through the slide 100. When the engaging member unit 2 passes downward through the slide 100 and moves into the engaging position 5, the engaging member unit 2 loses the extrusion limitation of the slide 100, and the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21 are released and the distance between them increases, so that they are limited in the engaging position 5 by the buckle 4, thereby achieving the installation positioning of the handle 1.

[0051] Similarly, the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21 in the engaging member unit 2 are squeezed toward each other and pushed upward, so that the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21 move from the engaging position 5 into the slide 100, and then slide upward from the slide 100, so that the engaging member unit 2 can be separated from the buckle 4, and the handle 1 can be disassembled.

[0052] Therefore, the present application cooperates with the snap buckle 4 through the deformation of the snap-fit ​​unit 2, so that the snap-fit ​​unit 21 can be engaged with the snap buckle 4 or separated from the snap buckle 4, thereby realizing the installation and disassembly of the handle 1; the handle 1 and the chopstick cage body 3 are no longer in a fixed connection relationship, so after the handle 1 is removed from the chopstick cage body 3, the handle 1 and the chopstick cage body 3 can be cleaned separately, avoiding the cleaning dead corner caused by the fixed connection between the handle 1 and the chopstick cage body 3.

[0053] Since the width of the engaging position 5 is greater than the width of the slideway 100 , the engaging member unit 2 can only be separated from the buckle 4 by squeezing the two engaging members 21 from the suspended ends of the engaging members 21 with external force, thereby avoiding the problem of the handle 1 being easily disengaged.

[0054] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Fig.10 As shown, both sides of the chopstick cage body 3 are provided with slide grooves 6, the buckle 4 is located in the slide grooves 6, and the slideway 100 and the engaging position 5 are both connected to the slide grooves 6; when the engaging member 21 is located in the engaging position 5, the side wall of the handle 1 is located in the corresponding slide groove 6, so that the handle 1 is guided and limited by the slide groove 6, thereby improving the stability of the handle 1 after assembly and reducing the shaking and loosening of the handle 1.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present application, when the handle 1 is in a natural state, the width of the opening of the handle 1 is smaller than the width of the chopstick cage body 3; therefore, when installing the handle 1, the opening of the handle 1 needs to be opened to a certain extent so that the handle 1 is slightly deformed before the handle 1 can be plugged into the chopstick cage body 3. When the handle 1 is plugged into the chopstick cage body 3, due to the deformation force of the handle 1, the handle 1 will tighten the chopstick cage body 3, further improving the stability of the assembly of the handle 1 on the chopstick cage body 3 and reducing the loosening and movement of the handle 1. A plurality of anti-slip ribs 7 are provided on both side walls of the handle 1, and the anti-slip ribs 7 are arc-shaped.

[0056] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the buckle 4 includes two protrusions 41 , and the two protrusions 41 are symmetrically arranged; the slideway 100 is located between the two protrusions 41 .

[0057] Specifically, the two protrusions 41 are located in the slide groove 6 and are close to the inner wall of the slide groove 6. The two protrusions 41 are arranged at intervals to reserve the slideway 100 between the two protrusions 41. The engaging position 5 is adjacent to the protrusions 41 and is located below the protrusions 41; when the engaging member 21 slides downward along the slideway 100 to the engaging position 5, the protrusion 41 can limit the suspended end of the engaging member 21, thereby realizing the installation and positioning of the handle 1 on the chopstick cage body 3.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a baffle plate 8 is also provided in the slide groove 6, and the baffle plate 8 is connected to the two protrusions 41 and is located on the outside of the slideway 100 to shield the slideway 100 and the engaging position 5; there is a gap between the baffle plate 8 and the bottom wall of the slide groove 6.

[0059] Specifically, the baffle 8 is used to shield the slide 100, the protrusion 41 and the engaging position 5; when the engaging member 21 is located in the engaging position 5, the baffle 8 can also shield the engaging member 21, thereby hiding and protecting the engaging member 21, the protrusion 41 and the engaging position 5, and avoiding the loosening or slipping of the handle 1 caused by accidentally touching the engaging member 21.

[0060] The gap is respectively connected with the slide groove 6, the engaging position 5 and the slide groove 6, and the gap is close to the bottom of the chopstick cage body 3, so that after the user lifts the chopstick cage body 3, he can pinch the engaging unit 2 from the bottom of the chopstick cage body 3 in the gap and push the engaging unit 2 upward, so that the engaging member 21 can be disengaged from the engaging position 5 and slide out from the slide 100, thereby realizing the disassembly of the handle 1.

[0061] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, a guide slope 411 is disposed on the top surface of the protrusion 41 , and the guide slope 411 is inclined from top to bottom toward the slideway 100 .

[0062] Specifically, the guiding bevel 411 is located at the top of the raised portion 41. When the engaging member 21 moves downward along the slide groove 6 and moves to the raised portion 41, it can first contact the guiding bevel 411. The guiding bevel 411 guides the suspended end of the engaging member 21, so that the suspended ends of the two engaging members 21 are pushed downward by an external force and are guided into the slide 100 by the guiding bevel 411. The movement of the engaging member 21 into the slide 100 is smoother, and obvious jamming is avoided when the two engaging members 21 in the engaging member unit 2 move from the wide part to the narrower slide 100. The deformation movement of the engaging member unit 2 is smoother.

[0063] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 and Figure 8 As shown, the engaging member 21 includes a connecting rod 211 and a stopper 212; one end of the connecting rod 211 is connected to the handle 1, and the other end is suspended; the stopper 212 is arranged at the suspended end of the connecting rod 211 and is arranged to protrude to the side relative to the connecting rod 211 to enclose the connecting rod 211 to form an L-shaped accommodation space 200 (such as Figure 8When the stopper 212 is located at the engagement position 5, the protrusion 41 is located in the L-shaped accommodation space 200.

[0064] Specifically, the position of the stopper 212 is the suspended end of the engaging member 21; since only one end of the connecting rod 211 is connected to the handle 1, when force is applied to the stopper 212, both of the stoppers 212 can produce a certain displacement, thereby achieving deformation of the suspended end of the engaging member 21.

[0065] Insert the two side walls of the handle 1 into the corresponding two slide grooves 6 and push downward; the stopper 212 moves along the slide groove 6 until it contacts the guide slope 411; under the guidance of the two guide slopes 411, the two stoppers 212 in the engaging unit 2 enter the slideway 100; under the extrusion force of the two protrusions 41, the two stoppers 212 move toward each other, and the suspended end of the engaging unit 2 is in an extrusion state. As the engaging member 21 continues to move downward, the stopper 212 enters the engaging position 5 from the slideway 100, the extrusion force of the protrusion 41 on the stopper 212 disappears, the two stoppers 212 return to the natural state (i.e., the release state), and the protrusion 41 is placed in the corresponding L-shaped accommodation space 200, so that the handle 1 is installed and positioned on the chopstick cage body 3 through the limiting of the stopper 212 by the protrusion 41.

[0066] When the two side walls of the handle 1 are distributed left and right, and the two slide grooves 6 are distributed left and right on the chopstick cage body 3, the two protrusions 41 in the buckle 4 are distributed front and back, and the two stoppers 212 in the locking unit are distributed front and back.

[0067] In one implementation of this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, a reinforcing rib 9 is provided on the side of the connecting rod 211, and the reinforcing rib 9 is located above the stopping member 212; when the stopping member 212 is located in the engaging position 5, the reinforcing rib 9 cooperates with the inner wall gap 11 of the sliding groove 6 to avoid the interference of the reinforcing rib 9 with the installation and disassembly of the handle 1, and the reinforcing rib 9 only serves to reinforce the connecting rod 211.

[0068] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9As shown, the handle 1 is further provided with a connecting portion 10, and the connecting portion 10 is arranged to protrude relative to the handle 1; the end of the connecting rod 211 away from the stopping member 212 is provided on the connecting portion 10, and is located at the end of the connecting portion 10 away from the handle 1, so that a certain gap 11 can be formed between the engaging member 21 and the handle 1; the gap 11 is used to accommodate the baffle 8, and when the engaging member 21 and the buckle 4 are engaged and limited, the baffle 8 and the gap 11 cooperate to double limit the engaging member 21, further improving the stability of the handle 1 when assembled on the chopstick cage body 3, and preventing the handle 1 from loosening and shaking.

[0069] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the chopstick cage for a dishwasher further comprises a supporting assembly 12 ; the supporting assembly 12 is arranged on the chopstick cage body 3 and is located above the slide 100 ; when the engaging member 21 is located in the engaging position 5 , the supporting assembly 12 abuts against the engaging member 21 .

[0070] The support assembly 12 is used to support the engaging member 21 when the engaging member 21 is engaged with the buckle 4, thereby increasing the engagement amount between the engaging member 21 and the chopstick cage body 3 to ensure that the engaging member 21 is tightly engaged and plays an effective connection role.

[0071] The support assembly 12 includes an extension portion 121 and two top holding pieces 122; one end of the extension portion 121 is connected to the chopstick cage body 3; the two top holding pieces 122 are both arranged at one end of the extension portion 121 away from the chopstick cage body 3; the two top holding pieces 122 are symmetrically arranged and form a V-shaped structure with the opening downward; when the engaging member 21 is located in the engaging position 5, the top holding piece 122 is abutted against the engaging member 21.

[0072] The two top holding pieces 122 are arranged at intervals from the chopstick cage body 3 and are relatively inclined, so that the two top holding pieces 122 can be squeezed and deformed under the action of external force. Specifically, when the engaging member 21 slides downward along the slide groove 6 until the stopper 212 is located in the engaging position 5, the support assembly 12 is located between the two connecting rods 211 and is squeezed, and the opening of the V-shaped structure formed by the two top holding pieces 122 is reduced, and the ends of the two top holding pieces 122 away from the extension portion 121 can generate a holding force on the connecting rod 211, so that the connecting rod 211 is only in contact with the protrusion 41, increasing the friction between the connecting rod 211 and the protrusion 41, further improving the stability of the handle 1 installed on the chopstick cage body 3, and preventing the handle 1 from shaking and shifting.

[0073] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the chopstick cage for a dishwasher further comprises two blocking covers 13, and the blocking covers 13 are used to cover the top opening of the chopstick cage body 3; the two blocking covers 13 are symmetrically arranged.

[0074] like Figure 4 and Fig.10 As shown, the chopstick cage for the dishwasher also includes a first limiting channel 14, a second limiting channel 15 and an adapter 16; the first limiting channel 14 is provided on the chopstick cage body 3 and is arranged horizontally; one end of the second limiting channel 15 is communicated with the first limiting channel 14, and the other end of the second limiting channel 15 is vertically extended downward to form an inverted L-shaped channel with the first limiting channel 14; one end of the adapter 16 is connected to the blocking cover 13, and the other end of the adapter 16 can slide along the first limiting channel 14 and the second limiting channel 15; when the blocking cover 13 is closed, the adapter 16 is located in the first limiting channel 14; when the adapter 16 is located in the second limiting channel 15, the blocking cover 13 is opened.

[0075] Specifically, the handle 1 corresponds to the center of the chopstick cage body 3; the two blocking covers 13 are distributed front and back. For each blocking cover 13, there are two first limiting channels 14, two second limiting channels 15 and two adapters 16; when the blocking cover 13 is closed, the adapter 16 is located at one end of the blocking cover 13 close to the handle 1; the adapter 16 can rotate and reciprocate in the first limiting channel 14 and the second limiting channel 15. When the blocking cover 13 is closed, the adapter 16 is located in the first limiting channel 14; when the blocking cover 13 is opened, the end of the blocking cover 13 away from the handle 1 is lifted upward and pushed toward the handle 1, and the adapter 16 rotates in the first limiting channel 14 and moves toward the second limiting channel 15; when the adapter 16 moves into the second limiting channel 15, the blocking cover 13 can be erected, and then the blocking cover 13 is pushed downward, and the adapter 16 slides downward along the second limiting channel 15, and the overlapping area between the blocking cover 13 and the chopstick cage body 3 increases until the adapter 16 can no longer slide down and the blocking cover 13 is fully opened.

[0076] Similarly, when closing the blocking cover 13, the blocking cover 13 is pulled upward, and the adapter 16 slides up in the second limiting channel 15; when the adapter 16 slides up to correspond to the first limiting channel 14, the end of the blocking cover 13 away from the adapter 16 is pressed downward and pulled into the first limiting channel 14, so that the blocking cover 13 flips downward, and after the adapter 16 enters the first limiting channel 14, it rotates in the first limiting channel 14 and slides in the direction away from the second limiting channel 15 until the blocking cover 13 blocks the opening of the chopstick cage body 3, and the adapter 16 can no longer continue to slide horizontally along the first limiting channel 14.

[0077] In one embodiment of the present application, Figure 4 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the chopstick cage for a dishwasher further includes a connector 17 and a connector 18; the connector 17 is arranged on the handle 1 and is located above the engaging unit 2; the connector 18 is arranged on the chopstick cage body 3; when the two engaging members 21 are located in the engaging position 5, the connector 17 is plugged into and matched with the connector 18.

[0078] Specifically, Figure 4 and Fig.10As shown, an L-shaped stopper 19 is provided at the top of the slide groove 6, and the plug-in 18 is formed between the L-shaped stopper 19 and the bottom wall of the slide groove 6; the plug-in 17 is in an inverted L shape and cooperates with the plug-in 18. When the engaging member unit 2 is engaged with the buckle 4, that is, the two engaging members 21 are both located in the corresponding engaging positions 5, the plug-in 17 is plugged and matched with the plug-in 18; then, the bottom end of the chopstick cage body 3 realizes the positioning of the handle 1 through the cooperation of the engaging member 21 and the buckle 4; the top end of the chopstick cage body 3 realizes the positioning of the handle 1 through the cooperation of the plug-in 17 and the plug-in 18.
