[0002] A dishwasher is a household appliance that automatically cleans dishes using high-temperature, high-pressure water jets, effectively improving cleaning efficiency and ensuring hygiene. With changes in family demographics and increasing demand for upgraded kitchen appliances, large-capacity dishwashers, capable of accommodating both dishes and cookware simultaneously, are gradually becoming the mainstream choice for families.

[0003] Existing large-capacity dishwashers typically use fixed-spaced support structures for placing plates and cups. When washing a European 16-place setting, after plates and regular cups are already placed in the dish rack, there is often no separate space for small teacups. If users stack or place small teacups with other cups, the distance between the tableware is too close, obstructing the water spray and affecting the cleaning effect of the small teacups and adjacent cups.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have defects and shortcomings, and need further improvement and development. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this application is to provide a dishwasher dish rack assembly and a dishwasher, which aims to solve the problem that the prior art dishwashers do not have a special structure for placing small teacups, which easily causes the tableware to be too close together, obstructing the spray water flow and affecting the cleaning effect of small teacups and adjacent cups.

[0009] Optionally, the limiting hook is provided with an arc-shaped abutment section, a pause section and an arc-shaped protruding limiting section on the side facing the mounting hook; the movable rack is assembled onto the tea tray fixing component by inserting from top to bottom and pushing in the horizontal direction; During the process of switching the movable rack from the second state to the first state, it flips upward around its fixed frame and undergoes lateral or longitudinal displacement relative to the tea tray fixing component. When the fixed frame rotates counterclockwise to the predetermined angle, the fixed frame first abuts against the arc-shaped abutment section, and then the fixed frame moves upward to abut against the pause section and the extension end, thereby limiting the vertical direction of the fixed frame. The fixed frame then abuts against the arc-shaped protrusion limiting section, and the end of the fixed frame away from the support frame is locked at the side railing, so that the movable rack maintains the predetermined angle.

[0010] Optionally, the predetermined angle formed between the movable rack and the tea tray fixing member in the first state is 100° to 130°; the displacement of the movable rack when switching to the first state is 5 to 15 mm.

Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 6 The first embodiment of this application provides a dishwasher dish rack assembly 10 for use in a dishwasher. The dishwasher dish rack assembly 10 includes an upper dish rack 11, a lower dish rack 15, a tea tray fixing member 12, a movable rack 13, and a shelf 14. The upper dish rack 11 includes a dish rack body 111, with a side rail on one side. The tea tray fixing member 12 is snapped onto one side of the dish rack body 111. The movable rack 13 has a fixing frame 131 and a support frame 132 arranged opposite to each other. Specifically, the support frame 132 can be configured as a row of evenly spaced support iron bars. The fixing frame 131 is rotatably mounted on the tea tray fixing member 12, and the support frame 132 is used to support teacups. The shelf 14 is rotatably mounted on both sides of the dish rack body 111 and abuts against a bracket 1116 inside the dish rack body 111. Through the above structural configuration, the dishwasher dish rack assembly 10, in addition to its original function of placing tableware, also possesses a support structure for separately placing teacups.

[0023] In the specific working process, the tea tray fixing component 12 is hung on the side railing of the bowl basket body 111 by the hanging hook 1233. The fixing component body 121 of the tea tray fixing component 12 includes a front side wall 122 and a top side wall 123. The first end 1221 and the second end 1222 of the front side wall 122 are respectively provided with limiting hooks 1223. The top side wall 123 is provided with a top limiting hook 125. Several diagonal braces 124 are also evenly spaced on the front side wall 122. The top limiting hook 125 includes a hook end 1251 and an extension end 1252. The diagonal braces 124 are correspondingly provided with the top limiting hooks 125. The diagonal braces 124 and the extension end 1252 cooperate with each other to limit the movement gap of the fixing frame 131, so that the fixing frame 131 can be flipped and displaced within a controlled range, providing a motion basis for the movable rack 13 to switch between the first state and the second state.

[0024] In the second state, the movable rack 13 is in a naturally retracted state. At this time, the movable rack 13 rotates downward and retracts relative to the tea tray fixing member 12, and the movable rack 13 is positioned close to the bowl basket body 111. The fixing frame 131 is located within the movable gap defined by the diagonal support member 124 and the top limiting hook 125, and is restricted by the limiting hook 1223. The limiting hook 1223 is used to limit the vertical displacement of the movable rack 13 in the second state, so that the movable rack 13 is stably maintained in the naturally retracted state, avoiding disorderly shaking of the movable rack 13 within the bowl basket body 111, and not affecting the normal placement of other tableware within the bowl basket body 111.

[0025] When a teacup needs to be placed, the movable rack 13 switches from the second state to the first state. During the switching process, the user can manually rotate the movable rack 13 upwards around its fixed frame 131 and cause it to move laterally and longitudinally relative to the tea tray fixing member 12, with the displacement being 5 to 15 mm. As the movable frame 13 flips, the fixed frame 131 moves within the movable gap defined by the diagonal brace 124 and the top limiting hook 125, and gradually engages with the structure on the limiting hook 1223. As the fixed frame 131 rotates counterclockwise and gradually approaches the predetermined angle, the fixed frame 131 first abuts against the arc-shaped abutment section 1224, which guides the movement path of the fixed frame 131, allowing the fixed frame 131 to form a smooth transition during the flipping process. Subsequently, the fixed frame 131 continues to move upward and abuts against the pause section 1225 and the extension end 1252, thereby limiting the vertical movement of the fixed frame 131 and preventing it from continuing to move upward. On this basis, the fixed frame 131 further abuts against the arc-shaped protruding limiting section 1226, causing the end of the fixed frame away from the support frame to be stopped at the side railing, thus completing the limitation of the final position of the movable frame 13.

[0026] Under the aforementioned limiting and locking action, the movable shelf 13 completes the deformation process from the second state to the first state. The movable shelf 13 maintains a predetermined angle of 100° to 130° under the combined limiting action of the tea tray fixing member 12 and the bowl basket body 111. At this time, the support frame 132 abuts against the side railing of the bowl basket body 111, and the movable shelf 13 is in a stable unfolded state, used to individually support the teacups, creating a reasonable distance between the teacups and adjacent cups.

[0027] When the teacup is no longer needed, the movable rack 13 returns along the opposite path after the external force is released. The fixed frame 131 sequentially disengages from the constraints of the arc-shaped protrusion limiting section 1226, the pause section 1225, and the arc-shaped abutment section 1224, and moves downward within the movable gap defined by the inclined support 124 and the top limiting hook 125. This causes the movable rack 13 to rotate downward relative to the tea tray fixing member 12 and retract, returning to the second state close to the bowl basket body 111. It then maintains a stable, naturally retracted state again under the action of the limiting hook 1223.

[0028] When needed by the user, the shelf 14 can be rotated. The shelf 14 is rotatably set on both sides of the bowl basket body 111. The shelf 14 abuts against the support 1116 inside the bowl basket body 111, and the shelf 14 forms an angle of 110° to 120° with the horizontal plane of the bowl basket body 111. The bottom of the bowl basket body 111 is connected in the left and right directions with a first inclined section 1111, a second inclined section 1112, a third inclined section 1113, a concave section 1114, and a fifth inclined section 1115. The shelf 14 is set on the second inclined section 1112, and a number of support rods 1117 are set on the concave section 1114, thereby forming a stable tableware support structure inside the bowl basket body 111 and preventing the tableware from getting close to each other or touching.

[0029] By switching between the first and second states using the movable rack 13 and the support of the shelf 14, the teacup can be supported individually and kept at a reasonable distance from other cups. The spray water can then smoothly act on the surface of the teacup and adjacent cups, thus effectively solving the problems in the prior art where dishwashers do not have a dedicated structure for placing small teacups, which can easily cause the distance between tableware to be too close, obstruct the spray water flow, and affect the cleaning effect of small teacups and adjacent cups.

[0030] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4In some embodiments, the dishwasher dish rack assembly 10 includes an upper dish rack 11, a tea tray holder 12, and a movable rack 13. The upper dish rack 11 includes a dish rack body 111; the dish rack body 111 has side rails; the tea tray holder 12 is snapped onto one side of the dish rack body 111; the movable rack 13 includes a fixed frame 131 and a support frame 132. The fixed frame 131 is rotatably mounted on the tea tray holder 12, and the support frame 132 is mounted on the fixed frame 131 and is used to support teacups; wherein, the movable rack 13 has a first state and a second state that can be switched between each other; when in the first state, the fixed frame 131... The frame is mounted on the tea tray fixing member 12. The movable rack 13 is in the unfolded position relative to the tea tray fixing member 12. The support frame abuts against the side railing of the bowl basket body 111. The movable rack 13 maintains a predetermined angle under the limiting action of the tea tray fixing member 12 and the bowl basket body 111 to form a stable support state for supporting teacups. In the second state, the fixing member is mounted on the tea tray fixing member 12, the support frame is positioned close to the side railing, and the movable rack 13 is restricted in the vertical direction under the limiting action of the tea tray fixing member 12, so that the movable rack 13 is kept in the folded state. Furthermore, by setting a dish rack 11, a tea tray fixing member 12, and a movable rack 13 in the dishwasher dish rack assembly 10, and making the movable rack 13 have a first state and a second state, in the first state the movable rack 13 flips upward and moves laterally relative to the tea tray fixing member 12, and the support frame 132 abuts against the side rail of the dish rack body 111, and maintains a predetermined angle to support the teacup under the limiting action of the tea tray fixing member 12 and the dish rack body 111. In the second state the movable rack 13 rotates downward and retracts, and is set close to the dish rack body 111, so that the movable rack 13 can form an independent teacup support structure when needed, and retract to release the dish rack space when not needed, thereby providing a dedicated placement position for the teacup, avoiding the teacup from being placed close to other cups, ensuring a reasonable distance between the tableware, which in turn facilitates the smooth flow of spray water and improves the cleaning effect of the teacup and adjacent cups.

[0031] Please refer to the following: Figure 4In some embodiments, the tea tray fixing component 12 includes a fixing body 121, two limiting hooks 1223, and two hanging hooks 1233; the fixing body 121 has a front side wall 122 and a top side wall 123; the front side wall 122 has a first end 1221 and a second end 1222 disposed opposite to each other; the top side wall 123 has a first top end 1231 and a second top end 1232 disposed opposite to each other; the two limiting hooks 1223 are respectively disposed on the first end 1221 and the second end 1222; the limiting hooks 1223 are used to limit the vertical displacement of the movable rack 13 when the movable rack 13 is in the second state; the two hanging hooks 1233 are respectively disposed on the first top end 1231 and the second top end 1232 of the front side wall 122; the hanging hooks 1233 are used to hang the tea tray fixing component 12 on the side railing. Furthermore, by setting a fixing body 121, a limiting hook 1223, and a hanging hook 1233 in the tea tray fixing component 12, the tea tray fixing component 12 can be stably hung on the side railing of the bowl basket body 111. The limiting hook 1223 restricts the vertical displacement of the movable rack 13 in the second state, thereby keeping the movable rack 13 stable in the naturally retracted state, preventing the movable rack 13 from shaking or shifting, ensuring that the movable rack 13 is reliably set on one side of the bowl basket body 111, providing a foundation for the movable rack 13 to form a stable teacup support in the first state, and further improving the reliability of teacup placement and cleaning stability.

[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 4In some embodiments, the tea tray fixing member 12 further includes a plurality of diagonal braces 124 and a plurality of top limiting hooks 125. The plurality of diagonal braces 124 are evenly spaced on the front side wall 122; the plurality of top limiting hooks 125 are disposed on the top side wall 123; the diagonal braces 124 and the top limiting hooks 125 are each correspondingly disposed; wherein, the diagonal braces 124 and the top limiting hooks 125 cooperate to limit the movement gap of the fixing frame 131; the top limiting hooks 125 include a hook end 1251 and an extension end 1252 disposed opposite to each other; the hook end 1251 is used to hang in the side railing, and the extension end 1252 is used to cooperate with the diagonal braces 124 to limit the movement gap of the fixing frame 131. Furthermore, by setting a diagonal brace 124 and a top limiting hook 125 in the tea tray fixing component 12, and making the diagonal brace 124 and the top limiting hook 125 correspond one-to-one to limit the movement gap of the fixing frame 131, the fixing frame 131 is always within the controlled range during the flipping and displacement process. This ensures that the movement trajectory of the movable rack 13 is stable and controllable during the switching process between the first and second states, avoids excessive displacement or unstable flipping of the movable rack 13, and enables the movable rack 13 to accurately maintain the predetermined angle after unfolding, which is conducive to forming a stable teacup support position.

[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 5In some embodiments, the limiting hook 1223 is provided with an arc-shaped abutment section 1224, a pause section 1225, and an arc-shaped protruding limiting section 1226 on the side facing the mounting hook 1233; the movable rack 13 is assembled onto the tea tray fixing member 12 by inserting from top to bottom and pushing in the horizontal direction; wherein, during the process of switching the movable rack 13 from the second state to the first state, it flips upward around its fixing frame 131 and moves laterally or longitudinally relative to the tea tray fixing member 12. When the fixed frame 131 rotates counterclockwise to the predetermined angle, the fixed frame 131 first abuts against the arc-shaped abutment section 1224, and then the fixed frame 131 moves upward to abut against the pause section 1225 and the extension end 1252, thereby limiting the vertical movement of the fixed frame 131. The fixed frame 131 then abuts against the arc-shaped protrusion limiting section 1226, and the end of the fixed frame 131 away from the support frame is locked at the side fence, so that the movable frame 13 maintains the predetermined angle. Furthermore, by setting an arc-shaped abutment section 1224, a pause section 1225, and an arc-shaped protrusion limiting section 1226 on the limiting hook 1223, and assembling the movable rack 13 onto the tea tray fixing member 12 by inserting it from top to bottom and pushing it in the horizontal direction, the fixing member 131 can sequentially cooperate with the arc-shaped abutment section 1224, the pause section 1225, the extension end 1252, and the arc-shaped protrusion limiting section 1226 during the switching of the movable rack 13 from the second state to the first state. During the flipping and displacement process, the fixed member 131 can guide, limit, and lock step by step, so that the movable rack 13 can stably maintain the predetermined included angle after unfolding, preventing the movable rack 13 from falling back or loosening when supporting the teacup, and improving the reliability of the teacup support.

[0034] In some embodiments, the predetermined angle formed between the movable rack 13 and the tea tray fixing member 12 in the first state is 100° to 130°; the displacement of the movable rack 13 when switching to the first state is 5 to 15 mm. Furthermore, by limiting the predetermined angle formed between the movable rack 13 and the tea tray fixing member 12 in the first state to 100° to 130°, and limiting the displacement of the movable rack 13 when switching to the first state to 5 to 15 mm, the movable rack 13, after unfolding, can form a spatial posture suitable for supporting teacups, while ensuring a reasonable distance between the movable rack 13 and the bowl basket body 111, thereby preventing teacups from getting too close to adjacent cups and facilitating sufficient coverage of the cleaning area of ​​the teacups and adjacent cups by the spray water flow.

[0035] Please refer to the following: Figure 3In some embodiments, the dishwasher rack assembly 10 further includes shelves 14, which are rotatably disposed on both sides of the rack body 111 and abut against the support 1116 inside the rack body 111. By providing shelves 14 in the dishwasher rack assembly 10 and rotatably disposed on both sides of the rack body 111 and abutting against the support 1116 inside the rack body 111, the shelves 14 can form an independent tableware support structure, creating a partitioned placement relationship with the movable rack 13. This allows teacups and other tableware to be placed on different support structures, further reducing the proximity of tableware and improving the overall openness of the washing space.

[0036] In some embodiments, the angle between the shelf 14 and the horizontal plane of the dish basket body 111 is set to 110° to 120°. Furthermore, by setting the angle between the shelf 14 and the horizontal plane of the dish basket body 111 to 110° to 120°, the tableware on the shelf 14 naturally tilts after placement, preventing the tableware from overlapping or sticking together, thereby reducing the area of ​​overlapping contact between the tableware and ensuring that the spray water can act on multiple surfaces of the tableware, thus improving the comprehensiveness and uniformity of tableware washing.

[0037] Please refer to the following: Figure 6 In some embodiments, the bottom of the bowl basket body 111 is sequentially connected with a first inclined section 1111, a second inclined section 1112, a third inclined section 1113, a concave section 1114, and a fifth inclined section 1115 in the left-right direction; wherein, the shelf 14 is disposed on the second inclined section 1112; the first inclined section 1111, the second inclined section 1112, and the third inclined section 1113 have the same inclination angle; and a plurality of support rods 1117 are disposed on the concave section 1114. Furthermore, by sequentially setting a first inclined section 1111, a second inclined section 1112, a third inclined section 1113, a concave section 1114, and a fifth inclined section 1115 at the bottom of the bowl basket body 111, and setting a shelf 14 on the second inclined section 1112, while setting several support rods 1117 on the concave section 1114, a multi-layered support structure is formed inside the bowl basket body 111, thereby reasonably dividing and supporting different types of tableware, avoiding concentrated stacking of tableware, and further improving the passage path of the spray water flow.

[0038] Please refer to the following: Figure 1In some embodiments, the dishwasher rack assembly 10 further includes a lower rack 15, which is used to hold plates and other tableware. Both the lower rack 15 and the upper rack 11 are equipped with several rollers 16 at their bottoms. By including a lower rack 15 in the dishwasher rack assembly 10 and providing several rollers 16 at the bottom of both the upper rack 11 and the lower rack 15, different types of tableware can be placed in the upper and lower racks respectively. This allows for layered placement of tableware, reducing interference between different types of tableware and facilitating the application of water spray to each layer of tableware, thus improving the overall cleaning effect.

[0039] The second embodiment of this application provides a dishwasher including the dishwasher basket assembly 10 as described above. By providing the dishwasher basket assembly 10 as described above in the dishwasher, the dishwasher has a dedicated movable rack 13 structure for supporting teacups, and together with the shelf 14 and lower basket 15, it achieves partitioned placement of tableware. This effectively solves the problems in the prior art where dishwashers lack a dedicated structure for placing small teacups, easily causing tableware to be too close together, obstructing the spray water flow, and affecting the cleaning effect of small teacups and adjacent cups, thereby improving the overall cleaning performance of the dishwasher.

[0040] In summary, this application provides a dishwasher dish rack assembly and a dishwasher. The dishwasher dish rack assembly includes: an upper dish rack, the upper dish rack including a dish rack body; the dish rack body having a side rail; a tea tray fixing member, the tea tray fixing member being snapped onto one side of the dish rack body; and a movable rack, the movable rack including a fixed frame and a support frame, the fixed frame being rotatably mounted on the tea tray fixing member, the support frame being mounted on the fixed frame, and the support frame being used to support teacups. The movable shelf has a first state and a second state that can be switched between each other. In the first state, the fixed frame is set on the tea tray fixing member, the movable shelf is in the unfolded position relative to the tea tray fixing member, the support frame abuts against the side railing of the bowl basket body, and the movable shelf maintains a predetermined angle under the limiting action of the tea tray fixing member and the bowl basket body to form a stable support state for supporting teacups. In the second state, the fixed frame is set on the tea tray fixing member, the support frame is set close to the side railing, and the movable shelf is restricted in the vertical direction under the limiting action of the tea tray fixing member, so that the movable shelf is kept in the folded state. Furthermore, by incorporating a dish rack, a tea tray holder, and a movable rack into the dishwasher's dish rack assembly, and allowing the movable rack to have a first state and a second state, in the first state the movable rack flips upward relative to the tea tray holder and moves laterally, with the support frame abutting against the side rail of the dish rack body, maintaining a predetermined angle to support the teacup under the limiting action of the tea tray holder and the dish rack body, in the second state the movable rack rotates downward and retracts, set closer to the dish rack body, so that the movable rack can form an independent teacup support structure when needed, and retract to free up dish rack space when not needed, thereby providing a dedicated placement position for the teacup, avoiding close placement of the teacup with other cups, ensuring a reasonable distance between the tableware, and thus facilitating the smooth flow of spray water, improving the cleaning effect of the teacup and adjacent cups.
