[0040] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0041] The following is for reference. Figures 1-9 A bowl basket 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described.

[0042] like Figures 1-5As shown, the bowl basket 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention includes: a bowl basket body 10 and a plurality of support rods 20.

[0043] Multiple support rods 20 are spaced apart inside the bowl basket body 10 and connected to the bowl basket body 10. The multiple support rods 20 are configured to support tableware. At least one of the multiple support rods 20 is formed as a first support rod 21. The first support rod 21 is movably connected to the bowl basket body 10 to adjust the relative position of the first support rod 21 and the bowl basket body 10.

[0044] For example, the number of support rods 20 can be twenty, twenty-five, thirty, thirty-five, or more than forty. In a specific example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, there are forty support rods 20. Furthermore, the bottoms of multiple support rods 20 are fixedly connected to the basket body 10. For example, one of the multiple support rods 20 may be formed as a first support rod 21; or some of the multiple support rods 20 may be formed as first support rods 21; or all of the multiple support rods 20 may be formed as first support rods 21. For example, the number of first support rods 21 may be five, ten, fifteen, twenty, or more than twenty-five.

[0045] In a specific example, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are sixteen first support rods 21, and each of the first support rods 21 can be movably connected to the bowl basket body 10. That is, the relative position of each of the first support rods 21 to the bowl basket body 10 can be adjusted. For example, when placing a water cup in the bowl basket body 10, first adjust the relative position of the first support rods 21 to the bowl basket body 10, and then invert the water cup onto the first support rods 21. This allows the water cup to be firmly supported on the first support rods 21, thus stably placing the water cup in the bowl basket body 10.

[0046] In this embodiment, when a user uses a dishwasher to clean tableware, the first support rod 21 is adjusted to be in relative position with the bowl basket body 10 in the horizontal and vertical directions according to the shape and size of the tableware and the distribution of the support rods 20 inside the bowl basket body 10. Then, the tableware is placed inside the bowl basket body 10 and supported on the support rods 20 to facilitate the cleaning of the tableware.

[0047] By changing the relative position of the first support rod 21 and the bowl basket body 10 in the horizontal direction, the distance between the first support rod 21 and the adjacent support rod 20 can be changed, so that tableware of different shapes and sizes can be placed and supported between the first support rod 21 and the adjacent support rod 20.

[0048] By changing the relative position of the first support rod 21 and the bowl basket body 10 in the vertical direction, the height of the first support rod 21 extending beyond the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10 can be adjusted. The higher the first support rod 21 extends, the larger pieces of tableware can be placed and supported between the first support rod 21 and the adjacent support rod 20. When tableware such as cups is placed upside down on the first support rod 21, the height of the first support rod 21 can be changed to adapt to and support cups of different depths.

[0049] Therefore, by adjusting the first support rod 21, multiple support rods 20 can cooperate to effectively support tableware of different sizes, types and depths, preventing the tableware from shaking during the washing process, thereby effectively improving the stability of the tableware during the washing process, and thus effectively improving the cleaning effect of the tableware and enhancing the user experience.

[0050] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the dish rack 100 is provided with a dish rack body 10 and a plurality of support rods 20. The plurality of support rods 20 are spaced apart inside the dish rack body 10 and connected to the dish rack body 10. The plurality of support rods 20 are configured to support tableware. At least one of the plurality of support rods 20 is formed as a first support rod 21. The first support rod 21 is movably connected to the dish rack body 10 to adjust the relative position of the first support rod 21 and the dish rack body 10, so that tableware of different sizes can be stably supported and fixed on the first support rod 21 in the dish rack body 10. This can effectively improve the stability of the tableware placed in the dish rack body 10, thereby effectively improving the washing effect of the tableware.

[0051] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, one end of the first support rod 21 is movably connected to the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10, and the other end of the first support rod 21 extends upward. In the direction from bottom to top, at least a portion of the first support rod 21 is inclined relative to the vertical.

[0052] For example, a portion of the first support rod 21 is inclined relative to the vertical; or, for instance, the entire first support rod 21 is inclined relative to the vertical. In a specific example, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, in the direction from bottom to top, a portion of the first support rod 21 is inclined relative to the vertical.

[0053] It should be noted that, relative to the support rod 20 which extends in the vertical direction, the first support rod 21, which is at least partially inclined relative to the vertical, can better adapt to tableware of different shapes and sizes by adjusting its relative position to the dish rack body 10. This allows the first support rod 21 to better support and fix the tableware. In other words, the first support rod 21, which is at least partially inclined relative to the vertical, can provide better grip and prevent the tableware from sliding or shifting during washing.

[0054] In this embodiment, one end of the first support rod 21 is movably connected to the bottom wall of the dish rack body 10, and the other end of the first support rod 21 extends upward. In the direction from bottom to top, at least a portion of the first support rod 21 is inclined relative to the vertical, which can effectively improve the supporting and fixing effect of the first support rod 21 on tableware of different sizes, thereby further improving the stability of tableware of different sizes during the washing process.

[0055] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, the first support rod 21 includes an arc segment 211 and a straight segment 212. One end of the arc segment 211 is connected to the basket body 10, and the other end extends upward along a downwardly protruding arc. The straight segment 212 is connected to the other end of the arc segment 211 and extends vertically upward.

[0056] In a specific example, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the lower end of the arc segment 211 is movably connected to the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10. This means the relative position between the first support rod 21 and the bowl basket body 10 is adjustable, allowing the first support rod 21 to more stably support the tableware in the bowl basket body 10. Furthermore, the first support rod 21 can be made of Q195 steel, thereby improving its structural strength.

[0057] For example Figure 2 As shown, the arc segment 211 has a downward convex portion. The upper end of the arc segment 211 extends upward along the downward convex arc, so that the first support rod 21 has an outward expansion tendency at the bottom, thereby increasing the support range for tableware of different sizes, and tableware of different sizes can be fixed by adjusting the relative position between the first support rod 21 and the bowl basket body 10.

[0058] For example Figure 2As shown, the straight segment 212 is set above the arc segment 211 and extends in the vertical direction. Furthermore, the lower end of the straight segment 212 is connected to the upper end of the arc segment 211. In other words, the straight segment 212 can effectively increase the height of the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction, thereby further expanding the types of tableware that the first support rod 21 can adapt to. For example, by reasonably setting the height of the straight segment 212, the first support rod 21 can stably support the deep cup.

[0059] In this embodiment, an arc segment 211 and a straight segment 212 are provided on the first support rod 21. One end of the arc segment 211 is connected to the bowl basket body 10, and the other end extends upward along a downwardly convex arc. The straight segment 212 is connected to the other end of the arc segment 211 and extends vertically upward. The combination design of the arc segment 211 and the straight segment 212 can further expand the types of tableware that the first support rod 21 can adapt to, thereby effectively improving the adaptability and flexibility of the first support rod 21.

[0060] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first support rod 21 is connected to the body of the basket 100 via a connector 30, allowing the first support rod 21 to rotate relative to the body of the basket 100 about a first axis extending vertically. In a specific example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the connector 30 is connected to the lower end of the first support rod 21, and the lower end of the connector 30 is connected to the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10.

[0061] In other words, in the vertical direction, the connector 30 is disposed between the first support rod 21 and the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10. The first support rod 21 can be stably connected to the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10 through the connector 30, thereby enabling the first support rod 21 to stably support tableware of various weights. Furthermore, the first support rod 21 can rotate about a first axis extending vertically in a plane relative to the bowl basket body 10, thus flexibly adjusting the rotational position of the first support rod 21. It should be noted that, in a specific example, the first axis extends vertically and coincides with the central axis of the connector.

[0062] Therefore, users can rotate multiple first support rods 21 to appropriate positions according to the shape and size of different tableware, thereby reasonably adjusting the spatial layout in the bowl basket body 10, and then placing different tableware on the first support rods 21. Afterwards, the rotation position of the first support rods 21 can be adjusted according to the support and fixation of the tableware by the first support rods 21, so that the first support rods 21 can effectively support and fix different tableware.

[0063] In this embodiment, the first support rod 21 is connected to the body of the basket 100 via the connector 30, so that the first support rod 21 can rotate relative to the body of the basket 100 around the first axis extending vertically. This can effectively improve the connection strength between the first support rod 21 and the basket body 10, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the connection between the first support rod 21 and the basket body 10, and thus effectively extending the service life of the first support rod 21.

[0064] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 4-9 As shown, the connector 30 includes a first mating member 31 and a second mating member 32. One of the first mating member 31 and the second mating member 32 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the other is fixed to the basket body 10. The first mating member 31 has a mating hole 311, and at least a portion of the second mating member 32 is rotatably mated in the mating hole 311.

[0065] For example, the first mating part 31 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the basket body 10; or, for another example, the second mating part 32 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the first mating part 31 is fixed to the basket body 10. In a specific example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first mating part 31 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the bowl basket body 10.

[0066] For example, a portion of the second mating part 32 is rotatably fitted into the mating hole 311; or, for example, the entire second mating part 32 is rotatably fitted into the mating hole 311. In a specific example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the second mating member 32 is rotatably fitted into the mating hole 311. Further, the first mating member 31 is disposed on the upper side of the second mating member 32, the upper end of the second mating member 32 extends into the mating hole 311, and relative rotation can occur between the second mating member 32 and the first mating member 31.

[0067] In a specific example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, a second connecting rod 11 extending vertically is welded to the bottom wall of the basket body 10. Both the second connecting rod 11 and the first support rod 21 are made of Q195 steel. Furthermore, plastic powder (polypropylene powder or nylon powder) is coated onto the outer surfaces of the second connecting rod 11 and the first support rod 21 using a powder dipping process. It should be noted that the powder dipping process involves immersing the powder coating in water or suspending it on a carrier, then immersing the object to be coated in the coating, allowing the coating to adhere to the surface of the object. After a certain period of time, the object is dried in a drying oven to form a coating of a certain thickness.

[0068] In a specific example, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the upper end of the first mating component 31 is provided with a first connecting hole 312, and the lower end of the second component is provided with a second connecting hole 321. The lower end of the first support rod 21 extends into the first connecting hole 312, and the upper end of the second connecting rod 11 extends into the second connecting hole 321. Furthermore, the connection between the first support rod 21 and the first mating component 31, and the connection between the second connecting rod 11 and the second mating component 32, are both treated with an interference fit process and coated with adhesive for auxiliary fixation, thereby effectively ensuring the fixing effect. Thus, the second mating component 32 can be fixedly connected to the basket body 10, and the first mating component 31 can be fixedly connected to the first support rod 21. The first support rod 21 and the first mating component 31 can rotate relative to the second mating component 32 and the basket body 10.

[0069] This embodiment provides a first mating part 31 and a second mating part 32 in the connector 30. One of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the other is fixed to the basket body 10. The first mating part 31 has a mating hole 311, and at least a portion of the second mating part 32 is rotatably fitted into the mating hole 311. This effectively simplifies the structure of the connector 30 and facilitates its later maintenance, thereby improving the convenience of maintenance.

[0070] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, one of the inner wall of the mating hole 311 and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating member 32 is provided with a limiting groove 313 and the other is provided with a limiting tooth 322. There are multiple limiting grooves 313, and the multiple limiting grooves 313 are arranged at intervals around the first axis. The shape of the limiting tooth 322 is adapted to the limiting groove 313 and is suitable for mating in any one of the limiting grooves 313.

[0071] For example, the inner wall of the mating hole 311 is provided with a limiting groove 313, and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating part 32 is provided with a limiting tooth 322; or the inner wall of the mating hole 311 is provided with a limiting tooth 322, and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating part 32 is provided with a limiting groove 313. For example, the number of limiting grooves 313 can be twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, or sixteen or more, and the multiple limiting grooves 313 are spaced apart and evenly arranged around the first axis, that is, the distance between any two adjacent limiting grooves 313 is equal.

[0072] In a specific example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9As shown, the inner wall of the mating hole 311 is provided with a limiting groove 313, and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating part 32 is provided with a limiting tooth 322. The number of limiting grooves 313 is fifteen. That is to say, the rotation angle corresponding to each rotation position of the first support rod 21 is 24°. For example, the rotation angle of the first support rod 21 under the action of external force can be 24°, 48°, 72°, 96° and more than 120°.

[0073] Furthermore, the number of limiting teeth 322 is one or multiple teeth arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mating hole 311. For example, the number of limiting teeth 322 can be one; or the number of limiting teeth 322 can be two, three, four, five or more, with multiple limiting teeth 322 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mating hole 311, each limiting tooth 322 correspondingly disposed in the limiting groove 313, and the number of limiting teeth 322 is less than or equal to the number of limiting grooves 313.

[0074] In this embodiment, a limiting groove 313 is provided on one of the inner wall of the mating hole 311 and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating member 32, and a limiting tooth 322 is provided on the other. There are multiple limiting grooves 313, and the multiple limiting grooves 313 are arranged at intervals around the first axis. The shape of the limiting tooth 322 is adapted to the limiting groove 313 and is suitable for mating in any limiting groove 313. This can effectively fix the relative position between the first support rod 21 and the bowl basket body 10, avoid the shaking of the first support rod 21, and thus effectively improve the stability of the first support rod 21 on the bowl basket body 10.

[0075] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the limiting groove 313 has two first sidewalls 3131 arranged opposite each other in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311, and the two first sidewalls 3131 extend obliquely in a direction away from each other in the direction from the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 toward the opening of the limiting groove 313; and / or, the limiting tooth 322 has two first surfaces 3221 arranged opposite each other in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311, and the two first surfaces 3221 extend toward each other in the protruding direction of the limiting tooth 322.

[0076] For example, in the direction from the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 toward the opening of the limiting groove 313, the two first sidewalls 3131 extend obliquely in a direction away from each other; as another example, in the protruding direction of the limiting tooth 322, the two first surfaces 3221 extend toward each other; as yet another example, in the direction from the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 toward the opening of the limiting groove 313, the two first sidewalls 3131 extend obliquely in a direction away from each other, and in the protruding direction of the limiting tooth 322, the two first surfaces 3221 extend toward each other.

[0077] In a specific example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, in the direction from the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 toward the opening of the limiting groove 313, the two first sidewalls 3131 extend inclined in a direction away from each other, and in the direction of the protrusion of the limiting tooth 322, the two first surfaces 3221 extend toward each other. The inclined two first sidewalls 3131 and the two first surfaces 3221 can guide the limiting tooth 322 to smoothly enter the limiting groove 313, thereby making it easier for the limiting tooth 322 to enter the limiting groove 313. Once the limiting tooth 322 enters the limiting groove 313, the inclined two first sidewalls 3131 and the two first surfaces 3221 can effectively increase the contact area and friction between the limiting tooth 322 and the limiting groove 313, preventing the first support rod 21 from rotating accidentally due to external force.

[0078] In this embodiment, two opposing first sidewalls 3131 are provided in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311. In the direction from the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 toward the opening of the limiting groove 313, the two first sidewalls 3131 extend obliquely away from each other. And / or, two opposing first surfaces 3221 are provided in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311. In the protruding direction of the limiting tooth 322, the two first surfaces 3221 extend toward each other. This not only makes it convenient for the user to rotate the first support rod 21, but also effectively improves the locking effect between the limiting tooth 322 and the limiting groove 313, thereby effectively improving the stability of the first support rod 21 after it is rotated into place.

[0079] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 is an arc surface that protrudes from the opening of the limiting groove 313 in the radial direction of the mating hole 311; and / or, in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311, the two adjacent first sidewalls 3131 of the two adjacent limiting grooves 313 are connected by an arc.

[0080] For example, the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 is an arc surface that protrudes from the opening of the limiting groove 313 in the radial direction of the mating hole 311; another example is that, in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311, the two adjacent first side walls 3131 of two adjacent limiting grooves 313 are connected by an arc; yet another example is that the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 is an arc surface that protrudes from the opening of the limiting groove 313 in the radial direction of the mating hole 311, and in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311, the two adjacent first side walls 3131 of two adjacent limiting grooves 313 are connected by an arc.

[0081] In a specific example, such as Figure 6As shown, the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 is an arc surface that protrudes from the opening of the limiting groove 313 in the radial direction of the mating hole 311, and in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311, the two adjacent first sidewalls 3131 of the two adjacent limiting grooves 313 are connected by an arc. Further, in the protruding direction of the limiting tooth 322, the two first surfaces 3221 extend towards each other and are connected by an arc.

[0082] In this embodiment, the bottom wall of the limiting groove 313 is set as an arc surface that protrudes from the opening of the limiting groove 313 in the radial direction of the mating hole 311, and / or, in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311, the two adjacent first side walls 3131 of the two adjacent limiting grooves 313 are connected by an arc, so that when the user rotates the first support rod 21, the limiting tooth 322 can smoothly rotate from one limiting groove 313 to another limiting groove 313, avoiding jamming of the limiting tooth 322 and effectively reducing the resistance to rotating the first support rod 21, thereby effectively improving the smoothness and convenience of rotating the first support rod 21.

[0083] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 9 As shown, the limiting groove 313 extends into an elongated shape in the vertical direction, and / or the limiting tooth 322 extends into an elongated shape in the vertical direction. For example, the limiting groove 313 extends into an elongated shape in the vertical direction; or the limiting tooth 322 extends into an elongated shape in the vertical direction; or the limiting groove 313 extends into an elongated shape in the vertical direction, and the limiting tooth 322 extends into an elongated shape in the vertical direction.

[0084] This embodiment, by configuring the limiting groove 313 as an elongated strip extending in the vertical direction, and / or configuring the limiting tooth 322 as an elongated strip extending in the vertical direction, effectively increases the contact area between the limiting tooth 322 and the limiting groove 313, thereby effectively improving the locking effect between the limiting tooth 322 and the limiting groove 313. Furthermore, it effectively disperses the force between the limiting tooth 322 and the limiting groove 313, avoiding stress concentration and reducing localized wear, thus effectively improving the durability of the limiting groove 313 and the limiting tooth 322.

[0085] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first support rod 21 is movably mounted on the basket body 10 in the vertical direction, so that the height between the upper end of the first support rod 21 and the bottom wall of the basket body 10 is adjustable. That is, the relative position between the first support rod 21 and the basket body 10 in the vertical direction is adjustable. For example, the first support rod 21 can move upward relative to the basket body 10; or, for example, the first support rod 21 can move downward relative to the basket body 10. Thus, the height between the upper end of the first support rod 21 and the bottom wall of the basket body 10 can be adjusted.

[0086] In this embodiment, the first support rod 21 is movably mounted on the bowl basket body 10 in the vertical direction, so that the height between the upper end of the first support rod 21 and the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10 is adjustable. This allows the first support rod 21 to adapt to tableware of different heights and effectively support and fix tableware of different heights, thereby further improving the applicability of the first support rod 21 to different tableware.

[0087] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the bowl basket 100 also includes a connector 30, which includes a first mating part 31 and a second mating part 32. One of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the first support rod 21 and the other is fixed to the bowl basket body 10. The relative positions of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 32 in the vertical direction are adjustable.

[0088] For example, the first mating part 31 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the basket body 10; or, for another example, the second mating part 32 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the first mating part 31 is fixed to the basket body 10. In a specific example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first mating part 31 is fixed to the first support rod 21, and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the basket body 10. Further, the upper end of the first mating part 31 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first support rod 21, and the lower end of the second mating part 32 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the second connecting rod 11 on the bottom wall of the basket body 10.

[0089] In other words, the second mating part 32 is fixed to the bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10 by the second connecting rod 11. In the vertical direction, the first support rod 21 and the first mating part 31 can move relative to the second mating part 32 and the second connecting rod 11, thereby adjusting the height of the first support rod 21 so that the first support rod 21 can adapt to tableware of different heights and sizes.

[0090] In this embodiment, a connector 30 is provided in the basket 100. The connector 30 includes a first mating part 31 and a second mating part 32. One of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the first support rod 21 and the other is fixed to the basket body 10. The relative positions of the first mating part 31 and the second mating part 32 in the vertical direction are adjustable, which can effectively simplify the process of adjusting the height of the first support rod 21, thereby effectively improving the convenience of user operation.

[0091] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 4-6As shown, the first mating part 31 is connected to the support rod 20, and the second mating part 32 is fixed to the body of the bowl basket 100. A mating hole 311 is formed on the first mating part 31. The first mating part 31 is sleeved on the second mating part 32 through the mating hole 311 and can move relative to the second mating part 32 in the vertical direction.

[0092] In a specific example, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the upper end of the second mating member 32 extends into the mating hole 311, and the first mating member 31 can move vertically relative to the second mating member 32. That is, the first mating member 31 is fitted onto the upper end of the second mating member 32 through the mating hole 311, and the first mating member 31 can slide up and down, thereby driving the first support rod 21 to move up and down.

[0093] In this embodiment, by connecting the first fitting part 31 to the support rod 20 and fixing the second fitting part 32 to the body of the basket 100, a fitting hole 311 is formed on the first fitting part 31. The first fitting part 31 is sleeved on the second fitting part 32 through the fitting hole 311 and can move in the vertical direction relative to the second fitting part 32. This can effectively ensure that the first support rod 21 moves in the vertical direction relative to the basket body 10, avoid the first support rod 21 from shaking when moving in the vertical direction, and thus effectively improve the stability of the first support rod 21 moving in the vertical direction.

[0094] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, one of the inner wall of the mating hole 311 and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating member 32 is provided with a rib 314, and the other is provided with a groove 323. The groove 323 extends circumferentially along the mating hole 311. There are multiple grooves 323, which are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The rib 314 is suitable for being held in any one of the grooves 323.

[0095] For example, the inner wall of the mating hole 311 is provided with a rib 314, and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating part 32 is provided with a groove 323; or, for example, the inner wall of the mating hole 311 is provided with a groove 323, and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating part 32 is provided with a rib 314. In a specific example, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, the inner wall of the mating hole 311 is provided with a rib 314, and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating part 32 is provided with a groove 323. Further, the rib 314 extends in a fan-shaped annular shape along the circumference of the mating hole 311, and the number of ribs 314 can be one or more.

[0096] For example, the number of ribs 314 can be one; or the number of ribs 314 can be multiple, such as two, three, four, five, or six or more, with multiple ribs 314 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction of the mating hole 311. For example, the number of slots 323 can be two, three, four, five, or six or more, with multiple slots 323 arranged at intervals in the vertical direction, and the ribs 314 can be held in any one of the slots 323.

[0097] In other words, the protruding rib 314 can be effectively fixed in either slot 323, and the protruding rib 314 can move from one slot 323 to another. Therefore, the first support rod 21 can have height adjustment positions in the height direction, thereby effectively adjusting the height of the first support rod 21. In a specific example, such as... Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, there are four protruding ribs 314 and two slots 323. Multiple protruding ribs 314 can be simultaneously held in either of the two slots 323.

[0098] In this embodiment, a rib 314 is provided on one of the inner wall of the mating hole 311 and the outer peripheral wall of the second mating member 32, and a groove 323 is provided on the other. The groove 323 extends circumferentially along the mating hole 311, and there are multiple grooves 323. The multiple grooves 323 are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. The rib 314 is suitable for being held in any one of the grooves 323. This not only allows the first support rod 21 to have multiple height adjustment positions in the vertical direction, thereby effectively adjusting the height of the first support rod 21, but also allows the rib 314 to be firmly held in the groove 323, thereby effectively fixing the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction, and thus effectively improving the stability of the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction.

[0099] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 6-9 As shown, the slot 323 has two second sidewalls 3231 arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. In the direction from the bottom wall of the slot 323 toward the opening of the slot 323, at least one end of the second sidewall 3231 facing the opening of the slot 323 extends obliquely away from the other second sidewall 3231; and / or, the rib 314 has two second surfaces 3141 arranged opposite each other in the vertical direction. In the protruding direction of the rib 314, the ends of the two second surfaces 3141 facing the bottom wall of the slot 323 extend toward each other.

[0100] For example, in the direction from the bottom wall of the slot 323 toward the opening of the slot 323, either of the two second side walls 3231 extends obliquely toward the direction away from the other second side wall 3231; or, in the direction from the bottom wall of the slot 323 toward the opening of the slot 323, the two second side walls 3231 extend obliquely toward the direction away from each other.

[0101] For example, in the direction from the bottom wall of the slot 323 toward the opening of the slot 323, at least one end of the second sidewall 3231 facing the opening of the slot 323 extends obliquely away from the other second sidewall 3231; as another example, in the protruding direction of the rib 314, the ends of the two second surfaces 3141 facing the bottom wall of the slot 323 extend toward each other; as yet another example, in the direction from the bottom wall of the slot 323 toward the opening of the slot 323, at least one end of the second sidewall 3231 facing the opening of the slot 323 extends obliquely away from the other second sidewall 3231, and in the protruding direction of the rib 314, the ends of the two second surfaces 3141 facing the bottom wall of the slot 323 extend toward each other.

[0102] In a specific example, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, there are two card slots 323, arranged vertically at an interval. In the direction from the bottom wall of the card slot 323 towards its opening, the upper second sidewall 3231 extends horizontally, and the lower second sidewall 3231 extends downwards at an angle. In the lower card slot 323, in the direction from the bottom wall of the card slot 323 towards its opening, the upper second sidewall 3231 extends upwards at an angle, and the lower second sidewall 3231 extends downwards at an angle. Furthermore, as... Figure 6 As shown, in the protruding direction of the rib 314, the two second surfaces 3141 extend toward each other.

[0103] This embodiment provides two vertically opposite second sidewalls 3231 in the slot 323. In the direction from the bottom wall of the slot 323 toward the opening of the slot 323, at least one end of the second sidewall 3231 facing the opening of the slot 323 extends obliquely away from the other second sidewall 3231. And / or, two vertically opposite second surfaces 3141 are provided in the rib 314. In the protruding direction of the rib 314, the ends of the two second surfaces 3141 facing the bottom wall of the slot 323 extend towards each other. This not only effectively increases the contact area and friction between the rib 314 and the slot 323, thereby effectively improving the stability of the first support rod 21, but also effectively guides the movement of the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction, thereby effectively improving the convenience for the user to adjust the first support rod 21.

[0104] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the outer peripheral wall of the second mating member 32 is formed with a plurality of baffles 324. The baffles 324 extend in a ring along the circumference of the mating hole 311 and are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. A groove 323 is defined between two adjacent baffles 324. For example, the number of baffles 324 can be two, three, four, five or more.

[0105] In a specific example, such as Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, there are three retaining ribs 324, and a slot 323 is defined between two adjacent retaining ribs 324, thereby effectively improving the structural strength of the slot 323. When the protruding rib 314 is engaged in the slot 323, the protruding rib 314 can abut against the retaining ribs 324 on both sides of the slot 323 in the vertical direction, thereby fixing the protruding rib 314 in the slot 323 and preventing the protruding rib 314 from moving in the vertical direction in the slot 323, thereby preventing the first support rod 21 from moving in the vertical direction.

[0106] In this embodiment, multiple baffles 324 are formed on the outer peripheral wall of the second mating member 32. The multiple baffles 324 extend in a ring along the circumference of the mating hole 311 and are arranged at intervals in the vertical direction. A groove 323 is defined between two adjacent baffles 324, which can effectively prevent the groove 323 from deforming or being damaged during use, thereby effectively improving the firmness and durability of the groove 323.

[0107] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a weakening groove 315 is formed on the end face of the first mating member 31 facing the second mating member 32. The weakening groove 315 penetrates the first mating member 31 radially along the mating hole 311. There are multiple weakening grooves 315, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mating hole 311.

[0108] For example, the number of weakening grooves 315 can be two, three, four, five, or more than six. In a specific example, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the weakening groove 315 is provided at the lower end of the first mating part 31, and there are four weakening grooves 315. The multiple weakening grooves 315 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mating hole 311.

[0109] When the user adjusts the height of the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction, the protruding rib 314 can move from one slot 323 to another slot 323. During this process, the protruding rib 314 can abut against the stop rib 324 and move relative to the stop rib 324 in the vertical direction. Due to the setting of the weakening groove 315, the protruding rib 314 can move outward along the radial direction of the mating hole 311 under the abutment action of the stop rib 324. That is to say, the part of the lower end of the first mating part 31 with the weakening groove 315 can expand outward along the radial direction of the mating hole 311, thereby facilitating the movement of the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction.

[0110] In this embodiment, a weakening groove 315 is formed on the end face of the first mating member 31 facing the second mating member 32. The weakening groove 315 passes through the first mating member 31 radially along the mating hole 311. There are multiple weakening grooves 315, which are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the mating hole 311. This facilitates the movement of the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction, thereby effectively improving the convenience for the user to adjust the height of the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction.

[0111] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 6 As shown, the rib 314 is formed on the inner wall of the mating hole 311. In the vertical direction, the rib 314 is located between the bottom wall and the opening of the weakening groove 315. In a specific example, such as Figure 6 As shown, a fan-shaped rib 314 is provided on the inner wall of the first mating part 31 between any two adjacent weakening grooves 315, and in the vertical direction, the rib 314 is located between the bottom wall and the opening of the weakening groove 315.

[0112] In this embodiment, by forming the rib 314 on the inner wall of the mating hole 311, and with the rib 314 located between the bottom wall and the opening of the weakening groove 315 in the vertical direction, the setting position of the rib 314 can be effectively optimized. This makes it easier for the inner wall portion of the first mating part 31 with the weakening groove 315 to expand radially outward along the mating hole 311 when the user adjusts the height of the first support rod 21, thereby further reducing the resistance when moving the first support rod 21 in the vertical direction and further improving the convenience of operation.

[0113] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are multiple first support rods 21 arranged in an array within the bowl basket body 10. For example, the number of first support rods 21 can be five, ten, fifteen, twenty, or more than twenty-five. Multiple first support rods 21 provide multiple support points for tableware, thereby accommodating tableware of different sizes and quantities.

[0114] It should be noted that array arrangement is a method of arranging multiple identical or similar components according to certain rules and spacing. For example, an array arrangement can be a rectangular array; or it can be a hexagonal honeycomb arrangement. In a specific example, such as... Figure 1 As shown, there are sixteen first support rods 21, and the multiple first support rods are arranged in a rectangular array.

[0115] In this embodiment, the number of first support rods 21 is set to multiple. The multiple first support rods 21 are arranged in an array inside the bowl basket body 10, which can effectively utilize the space inside the bowl basket body 10, thereby effectively improving the space utilization rate of the bowl basket body 10, and thus effectively increasing the types and quantities of tableware that can be placed in the bowl basket body 10.

[0116] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figure 1 As shown, a portion of the multiple support rods 20 is formed as a first support rod 21 and another portion is formed as a second support rod 22. The second support rod 22 is fixedly connected to the basket body 10. The structure of the second support rod 22 may be the same as or different from the structure of the first support rod 21. The bottom wall of the basket body 10 includes a first region and a second region arranged in sequence. Multiple first support rods 21 are arranged in the first region, and multiple second support rods 22 are arranged in the second region.

[0117] In a specific example, there are forty support rods 20, of which there are sixteen first support rods 21 and twenty-four second support rods 22. The bowl basket body 10 is provided with two second regions and one first region. In the left-right direction, the first region is distributed between the two second regions. Furthermore, twenty second support rods 22 are provided in the second region on the left and four second support rods 22 are provided in the second region on the right.

[0118] When cleaning tableware, some tableware can be placed directly in the second area of ​​the bowl basket body 10 and supported and fixed on the second support rod 22, while other tableware can be placed in the first area of ​​the bowl basket body 10. The first support rod 21 can be effectively fixed and supported by adjusting its position relative to the bowl basket body 10.

[0119] In this embodiment, a portion of the multiple support rods 20 is formed as a first support rod 21 and another portion is formed as a second support rod 22. The second support rod 22 is fixedly connected to the bowl basket body 10. The structure of the second support rod 22 may be the same as or different from the structure of the first support rod 21. The bottom wall of the bowl basket body 10 includes a first region and a second region arranged in sequence. Multiple first support rods 21 are arranged in the first region and multiple second support rods 22 are arranged in the second region. This can effectively optimize the layout of the support rods 20 in the bowl basket body 10, allowing users to place and support tableware of different sizes in different regions as needed, thereby effectively meeting the various needs of users and effectively improving the flexibility of the bowl basket 100.

[0120] The dishwasher according to a second aspect embodiment of the present invention includes a dish rack 100 according to the first aspect embodiment of the present invention described above. In a specific example, the dish rack 100 further includes a pulley assembly 40, which is disposed on the left and right sides of the dish rack 100, and the dish rack 100 is movable by means of the pulley assembly 40.

[0121] According to the dishwasher of the present invention, by providing the dish rack 100 of the first aspect, tableware of different sizes can be stably supported and fixed on the first support rod 21 in the dish rack body 10, thereby effectively improving the stability of the tableware placed in the dish rack body 10, and thus effectively improving the washing effect of the tableware.
