Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of dishwashers, in particular to a bowl basket assembly for a dishwasher and the dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] For a large number of built-in dishwashers, in order to improve the utilization rate of the inner space of the dishwasher, the "chopstick cage area" is usually extracted separately, and an upper bowl basket rack is added to meet its loading needs. The upper bowl basket rack is placed on the top layer of the inner cavity of the dishwasher. The space of the upper bowl basket rack is relatively flat, and knives, forks, chopsticks, spoons, forks, soup spoons, etc. are placed on this layer. In this way, the space of the middle bowl basket rack and the lower bowl basket rack can be fully utilized for loading dishes, etc.

[0003] For example, in the Chinese utility model patent disclosed in the patent number CN201820735300.8 (publication number CN208926295U), the bowl rack assembly includes three layers of bowl basket racks, namely, a lower bowl basket rack, a middle bowl basket rack (equivalent to the bowl basket below) and an upper bowl basket rack (equivalent to the shelf below), and the upper bowl basket rack can be detachably fixed to the middle bowl basket rack. Both the lower bowl basket rack and the middle bowl basket rack can be pulled out and installed on the body of the dishwasher.

[0004] The bowl basket rack at the top layer also includes a plurality of support legs extending downward from the bowl basket body, and the plurality of support legs can be detachably fixed to the adjacent bowl basket rack at the bottom layer. Figure 2 As shown, the upper bowl basket rack includes a plurality of support legs extending downward from the bowl basket body, and the plurality of support legs can be made of metal and welded to the bowl basket body. The number and distribution of the support legs can be set according to actual needs, as long as the upper bowl basket rack can be stably installed on the middle bowl basket rack, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0005] For further information, please refer to Figure 3 A hook is formed at the lower end of any supporting leg, and the hook has a downward opening. The adjacent lower bowl basket rack includes a second supporting frame, and the hook is clamped on the frame edge of the second supporting frame from the opening.

[0006] However, after the hook of the patent is engaged with the frame edge of the second support frame, the upper bowl basket rack can no longer be displaced relative to the middle bowl basket rack, because the upper bowl basket rack will block the middle bowl basket rack, which makes it inconvenient to take out the tableware in the middle bowl basket rack or place the tableware in the middle bowl basket rack. Utility Model Content

[0007] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a bowl basket assembly for a dishwasher, wherein the rack can move up and down relative to the bowl basket, in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0008] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a dishwasher using the above-mentioned bowl basket assembly in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0009] The utility model solves the above-mentioned first technical problem by adopting a technical solution: a bowl basket assembly for a dishwasher, comprising:

[0010] Bowls and baskets;

[0011] A shelf, located above the bowl basket;

[0013] The bowl basket assembly also includes a rotating rod, and the number of the rotating rods is the same as that of the supporting rods and they are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence. The lower end of the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the corresponding supporting rod, and the upper end is rotatably connected to the side wall of the corresponding side of the shelf. The rotation axis of the upper end and the rotation axis of the lower end of the rotating rod both extend in the left-right direction. When the shelf is in the lower limit position, the rotating rods are tilted backward from top to bottom, and the inclination angles are the same.

[0014] Preferably, an elastic member is provided between at least one of the rotating rods and the corresponding supporting rod, and the elastic member enables the corresponding rotating rod to maintain a tendency to rotate backward. The provision of the elastic member enables the rotating rod to rotate more smoothly and stably, thereby making the shelf more stable during movement and preventing the tableware on the shelf from shaking.

[0015] In the above solution, the elastic member is an arc-shaped spring, one end of which is connected to the rotating rod, and the other end of which is connected to the corresponding supporting rod.

[0016] In order to ensure that the shelf can be fixed relative to the bowl basket when it is in the lower limit position, a positioning structure is provided between at least one of the rotating rods and the corresponding supporting rod so that the two can be detachably connected. When the shelf is in the lower limit position, the rotating rod and the corresponding supporting rod are fixed by the positioning structure.

[0017] The positioning structure can have a variety of structural forms, and the structure is simple. A connecting block is provided on the top wall of the support rod, and the connecting block and the rotating rod are connected through the positioning structure;

[0018] The positioning structure comprises a buckle slot and a buckle block detachably buckled in the buckle slot, the buckle block is arranged on one of the connecting block and the rotating rod, and the buckle slot is arranged on the other of the connecting block and the rotating rod.

[0019] Preferably, there are four support rods, two of which are located at the front and rear of the left side of the shelf, and the other two are located at the front and rear of the right side of the shelf. This forms a parallelogram structure, which can ensure that the shelf is always parallel to the bowl basket during the movement of the shelf relative to the bowl basket, thereby improving the user experience.

[0020] In the above scheme, the two rotating rods located at the front of the shelf are called first rotating rods, and the two rotating rods located at the rear of the shelf are called second rotating rods. The elastic member is provided between the second rotating rods and the corresponding support rods, and the positioning structure is provided between the first rotating rods and the corresponding support rods.

[0021] In order to fix the support rod to the bowl basket, two positioning rods are arranged on the bowl basket at intervals in the front-to-back direction, each of the positioning rods includes a cross bar extending in the left-right direction and two connecting rods respectively connected to the two ends of the cross bar, and each of the connecting rods is fixedly connected to the bowl basket;

[0022] The support rod extends in the front-to-back direction, and the two positioning rods are respectively called the first positioning rod and the second positioning rod. The first positioning rod is located in front of the second positioning rod, the front parts of the two support rods located on the front side are fixedly installed on the cross bar of the first positioning rod, and the rear parts of the two support rods located on the rear side are fixedly installed on the cross bar of the second positioning rod.

[0023] In order to further enable the shelf to be fixed relative to the bowl basket when it is in the lower limit position, when the shelf is in the lower limit position, the front part of the shelf is placed on the cross bar of the first positioning rod, and the rear part of the shelf is placed on the cross bar of the second positioning rod.

[0024] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the second technical problem is: a dishwasher, characterized in that it includes a box body with a washing cavity and the bowl basket assembly, and the bowl basket assembly is arranged in the washing cavity.

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the utility model provides a support rod fixedly connected to the bowl basket, and the support rod is connected to the shelf by a rotating rod. By rotating the rotating rod, the shelf can be displaced in the up and down directions and the front and back directions, leaving an escape space for taking tableware from the bowl basket or placing tableware in the bowl basket, and the rotating rod can be rotated by simply lifting the shelf, which is easy to operate.
