[0050] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0051] like Figure 1-12 As shown, the present invention includes a rotatable lower bowl basket, including a base frame 1, a bowl basket body 2, a positioning mechanism 3 and a rotating connection mechanism 4, wherein the base frame 1 is connected to the cupboard 100 in a push-pull manner, and the bowl basket body 2 has a storage space 20 for accommodating tableware. The storage space 20 is provided with a plurality of partition bars 200 connected to the bottom of the bowl basket body 2 to divide the storage space 20 into several storage areas for accommodating different tableware.

[0052] The bowl basket body 2 is rotatably mounted on the base frame 1 via a rotating connection mechanism 4. A positioning mechanism 3 is provided between the bowl basket body 2 and the base frame 1 for positioning the bowl basket body 2 relative to the base frame 1. The bowl basket body 2 has a first positioning state and a second positioning state. In the first positioning state, the bowl basket body 2 and the base frame 1 can be simultaneously pushed and pulled in and out of the cupboard 100. In the second positioning state, the bowl basket body 2 deflects relative to the base frame 1 to accommodate a user in placing or taking tableware.

[0053] In the present application, the cupboard 100 can be an ordinary cupboard, a disinfection cabinet, or a dishwashing cabinet. When the basket body 2 is in the first positioning state, the positioning mechanism 3 is locked in the first positioning state. The user grasps the basket body 2 and pushes the entire lower basket into or out of the cupboard 100. When the user needs to place or take out tableware, the entire lower basket is pulled out. When the tableware is needed, if it is in an inconvenient position for the user to take or it is inconvenient to place the tableware far away, the basket body 2 is rotated to overcome the locking force of the positioning mechanism 3 and move it out of the first positioning state. After the basket body 2 is rotated to an angle that is convenient for the user to take in and place the tableware, the positioning mechanism 3 automatically engages the second positioning state. When no external force is applied to the basket body 2, the basket body 2 is fixed relative to the base frame 1, and the user can now take in and place the tableware.

[0054] like Figure 12 As shown, the present application utilizes a rotating basket body 2, making it particularly convenient for people with disabilities, such as those with mobility issues or wheelchair users. For example, when a wheelchair user accesses tableware, they can rotate the basket body 2, positioning the basket body 2's storage space 20 empty or placing the tableware closer to the user. This allows them to easily retrieve and place tableware deep within the cupboard 100 while sitting naturally, without the need to lean forward or stretch their arms, thus completely eliminating the risk of lumbar strain or imbalance caused by excessive bending. There's also no need to rotate the wheelchair to adjust the position to retrieve and place tableware, greatly facilitating user convenience.

[0055] In addition, the directional deflection design of the bowl basket body 2 allows the wheelchair to be operated without having to face the cupboard 100 completely. When the user approaches the cabinet from the side, he or she only needs to rotate the lower bowl basket to the corresponding lateral angle to reach all the tableware, solving the problem of taking items from dead corners caused by the limited turning radius of the wheelchair.

[0056] In addition, in the present application, the accommodating space 20 is divided into different placement areas by partition bars 200, thereby facilitating the user to place different tableware.

[0057] like Figures 2 to 6 As shown, as a further solution of this embodiment, the rotating connection mechanism 4 includes a lower connecting plate 40 and an upper connecting plate 41. The lower connecting plate 40 is provided on the base frame 1, and the upper connecting plate 41 is provided at the bottom of the bowl basket body 2 and is rotatably connected to the lower connecting plate 40. The lower connecting plate 40 is engaged with the base frame 1, and the upper connecting plate 41 is engaged with the bowl basket body 2. In this embodiment, both the lower connecting plate 40 and the upper connecting plate 41 can be provided with a clamping member 42 for clamping with the corresponding bowl basket body 2 or base frame 1, which facilitates the work of the assembler, achieves rapid installation, and improves production efficiency. It should also be noted that the upper connecting plate 41 and the lower connecting plate 40 can achieve rotational connection through bearing cooperation.

[0058] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, as a preferred embodiment of this embodiment, the positioning mechanism 3 includes a positioning groove set 30 and an elastic clip 31. The positioning groove set 30 is provided on the upper connecting plate 41 and includes a first positioning groove 300 corresponding to the first positioning state and a second positioning groove 301 corresponding to the second positioning state. The elastic clip 31 is provided on the lower connecting plate 40. When the basket body 2 rotates to the first or second positioning state, the elastic clip 31 elastically snaps into the corresponding first positioning groove 300 or second positioning groove 301 to achieve positioning. In this embodiment, two first positioning grooves 300 may be provided, symmetrically arranged along the rotation center of the basket body 2. This allows the basket body 2 to be directly pushed into the cupboard 100 after a 180-degree rotation, making it easier for the user to access it. Multiple second positioning grooves 301 may be provided to facilitate the user's adjustment of the basket body 2 to an appropriate angle, thereby facilitating ease of use.

[0059] like Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the elastic clamping member 31 includes a spring 310, a spring 311, and a fixing screw 312. A mounting slot 313 is provided at the bottom of the lower connecting plate 40. The spring 310 is movably mounted in the mounting slot 313. The head of the spring 310 passes through the top of the lower connecting plate 40 and abuts against the first positioning slot 300. The fixing screw 312 is located at the opening of the mounting slot 313. The spring 311 is located between the fixing screw 312 and the spring 310 to provide elastic force for the spring 310. Furthermore, avoidance slots 314 can be provided on the left and right sides of the first positioning slot 300 to avoid the spring 310. This allows the user to easily distinguish whether the basket body 2 is stuck in the first position. It should be noted that although the avoidance slots 314 are provided in this embodiment, due to friction between the basket body 2 and the bottom frame 1, the basket body 2 can already be stopped in this position even when the spring 310 is in the avoidance slots 314.

[0060] like Figures 2 to 3 as well as Figures 7 and 8 As shown, as a further solution of this embodiment, a rotating support member 5 is further included. The rotating support member 5 is disposed between the base frame 1 and the bowl basket body 2. The rotating support member 5 is configured to transfer the load of the bowl basket body 2 to the base frame 1 and cooperate with the rotating connection mechanism 4 to achieve rotational movement of the bowl basket body 2 relative to the base frame 1. In this application, when the bowl basket body 2 is loaded with a large amount of tableware, its load is relatively large. The bowl basket body 2 is a frame structure and is prone to deformation. In addition, the solution of this application requires the bowl basket body 2 to rotate. Therefore, the rotating support member 5 is added to cooperate with the rotating connection mechanism 4 to jointly support the bowl basket body 2 and evenly distribute the load on the bowl basket body 2 to the base frame 1.

[0061] like Figures 7 and 8As shown, the rotating support 5 further includes a circular guide rail 50 and several sliders 51. The circular guide rail 50 is provided on the base frame 1, and the sliders 51 are provided at the bottom of the basket body 2. The sliders 51 slide in conjunction with the circular guide rail 50. In this embodiment, three or more sliders 51 are provided, preferably four, to facilitate the transfer of the load of the basket body 2 to the base frame 1. Furthermore, the circular guide rail 50 is snap-fitted to the base frame 1, and the sliders 51 snap-fitted to the bottom of the basket body 2. Similarly, the circular guide rail 50 and the sliders 51 are also snap-fitted to the corresponding basket body 2 or base frame 1 via the snap-fitting members 42, enabling quick installation.

[0062] like Figures 9 to 11 As shown, to further enhance the support performance of the base frame 1 and facilitate maintenance of the entire lower basket, the base frame 1 is further provided with a plurality of reinforcing rod groups 12 on both sides thereof for strengthening the support performance of the base frame 1. The upper and lower portions of the reinforcing rod groups 12 are provided with mounting seats 13 detachably connected thereto, and the rotating wheel 11 is rotatably mounted on the mounting seats 13. The provision of the reinforcing rod groups 12 improves the support performance of the base frame 1, while the detachable mounting seats 13 facilitate subsequent maintenance and replacement of the rotating wheel.

[0063] It should be noted that the reinforcing rod assembly 12 consists of a U-shaped reinforcing rib 120 and an auxiliary rib 121. The two ends of the reinforcing rib 120 are connected to the upper and lower sides of the base frame 1, and the left and right sides of the base frame 1 are connected to the middle of the corresponding reinforcing rib 120. The middle of the auxiliary rib 121 is connected to the corresponding side of the base frame 1, and the two ends are respectively connected to the corresponding reinforcing rib 120. The mounting base 13 includes a base 130 and a locking block 131. The base 130 is located at the bottom of the reinforcing rod assembly 12, and the locking block 131 is located at the top of the reinforcing rod assembly 12. The two are locked by bolts, sandwiching the reinforcing rod assembly 12 between the base 130 and the locking block 131. The locking point is located at the connection between the base frame 1, the reinforcing rib 120, and the auxiliary rib 121.
