[0041] Before any embodiments of the application are explained in detail, it is to be understood that the application is not limited in its application to the details of construction and the arrangement of components set forth in the following description or illustrated in the above drawings.

[0042] In this application, the terms "comprises", "includes", "has" or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device that includes a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also includes other elements not explicitly listed, or also includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device. In the absence of more restrictions, an element defined by the sentence "comprises a ..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article or device that includes the element.

[0043] In this application, the term "and / or" is a description of the association relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. In addition, the character " / " in this application generally indicates that the related objects before and after are in an "and / or" relationship.

[0044] In the present application, the terms "connect", "combine", "couple", and "install" may refer to direct connection, combination, coupling, or installation, or indirect connection, combination, coupling, or installation. For example, direct connection refers to two parts or components being connected together without the need for an intermediary, and indirect connection refers to two parts or components being connected to at least one intermediary respectively, and the two parts or components being connected via the intermediary. In addition, "connect" and "couple" are not limited to physical or mechanical connections or couplings, and may include electrical connections or couplings.

[0045] In the present application, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that relative terms (e.g., "about," "approximately," "substantially," etc.) used in conjunction with quantities or conditions include the values ​​and have the meaning indicated by the context. For example, the relative terms include at least the degree of error associated with the measurement of a specific value, the tolerances caused by manufacturing, assembly, and use associated with a specific value, and the like. Such terms should also be considered to disclose a range defined by the absolute values ​​of the two endpoints. Relative terms may refer to plus or minus a certain percentage (e.g., 1%, 5%, 10% or more) of the indicated value. Numerical values ​​that do not use relative terms should also be disclosed as specific values ​​with tolerances. In addition, "substantially" may refer to plus or minus a certain degree (e.g., 1 degree, 5 degrees, 10 degrees or more) on the basis of the indicated angle when expressing a relative angular position relationship (e.g., substantially parallel, substantially perpendicular).

[0046] In this application, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that the function performed by a component can be performed by one component, multiple components, one part, or multiple parts. Similarly, the function performed by a part can also be performed by one part, one component, or a combination of multiple parts.

[0047] In the present application, the terms "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "back" and other directional words are described based on the orientation and positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and should not be understood as limiting the embodiments of the present application. In addition, in the context, it is also necessary to understand that when it is mentioned that an element is connected to another element "upper" or "lower", it can not only be directly connected to another element "upper" or "lower", but also indirectly connected to another element "upper" or "lower" through an intermediate element. It should also be understood that directional words such as upper side, lower side, left side, right side, front side, back side, etc. not only represent the positive orientation, but can also be understood as the lateral orientation. For example, the bottom can include directly below, lower left, lower right, lower front, and lower back, etc.

[0048] The present application provides a cleaning machine, including a box, a rack, a cleaning mechanism and a drying mechanism, wherein the rack is installed in the box and is used to place tableware, the cleaning mechanism is used to clean the tableware, and the drying mechanism is used to dry the tableware. The cleaning mechanism and the drying mechanism can both use existing mature cleaning technology and drying technology, which will not be described in detail here. It should be noted that the cleaning machine can be a dishwasher, such as a stand-alone dishwasher or a built-in dishwasher, which is not limited here.

[0049] As for the shelf, in the related art, the shelf is usually a frame structure formed by welding steel bars, so that the shelf has the function of carrying tableware and preventing water accumulation. In addition, in order to take into account the weight of the shelf and its functional requirements, the spacing between the steel bars in the shelf usually needs to be adaptively adjusted for tableware of different shapes and sizes, which makes the product type and design cost of the shelf high.

[0050] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a shelf, which can reduce the product types and design costs of the shelf by improving the structure of the shelf.

[0051] Figure 1 A schematic exploded view of the shelf provided by the present application is shown. Figure 2 Shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the partial structure of a middle shelf. Figure 1 to Figure 2As shown, the shelf provided by the present application includes a frame 1 and a grid member 2, the frame 1 includes a ring-shaped fence 11 and a support structure 12 formed by a plurality of first ribs, at least part of the structure of the support structure 12 is located at the bottom of the fence 11 and connects the two sides of the fence 11, so that the frame 1 can be used as a support structure of the shelf and can be designed as a universal part; the top of the frame 1 has an opening for taking and placing items to facilitate the taking and placing of items; the grid member 2 is composed of a plurality of strip structures crisscrossing each other, the grid member 2 is fixedly connected to the fence 11 and / or the support structure 12 and is located above or below the support structure 12, so that the grid member 2 can be used as a leak-proof structure of the shelf, can be designed as a universal part, and can also be designed for different tableware.

[0052] In other words, the shelf provided by the present application is manufactured by separating the frame 1 and the grid member 2. There is no need to design the frame 1 with different structural intervals according to the tableware of different sizes and shapes. It is only necessary to ensure that the frame 1 has a fence 11 and a supporting structure 12 located at the bottom of the fence 11 to play a supporting role; the grid member 2 can be designed into grid members 2 with different mesh sizes according to the tableware of different sizes and shapes, and a unified grid member 2 with a mesh size that can meet the needs of all tableware can be selected, thereby reducing the product types of the shelf and reducing the design cost.

[0053] In order to facilitate the connection between the mesh member 2 and the frame 1, the mesh member 2 includes a bottom mesh portion 22 and a peripheral mesh portion 21 which is arranged around the bottom mesh portion 22 and extends to one side of the bottom mesh portion 22, the peripheral mesh portion 21 is fixedly connected to the fence 11, and the bottom mesh portion 22 is used to prevent tableware from falling. In this embodiment, the mesh member 2 is located inside the frame 1, the peripheral mesh portion 21 of the mesh member 2 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the fence 11 of the frame 1, and the bottom mesh portion 22 is fixedly connected to the upper side of the support structure 12 of the frame 1. In other embodiments, the mesh member 2 is located outside the frame 1, the peripheral mesh portion 21 of the mesh member 2 is sleeved on the outer side of the fence 11 of the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the fence 11, and the bottom mesh portion 22 is located below the support structure 12 of the frame 1 and is fixedly connected to the support structure 12.

[0054] In some embodiments, the mesh member 2 may be made of a metal component, the frame 1 may also be made of a metal component, and the fixed connection between the mesh member 2 and the frame 1 may be achieved by welding. For example, the mesh member 2 is formed by a plurality of second ribs welded vertically and horizontally, and the second ribs are stainless steel bars; or the mesh member 2 is made of a stainless steel mesh. The fence 11 is made of stainless steel bars bent and welded into a ring shape, or the fence 11 directly uses annular ribs, and the annular ribs are stainless steel bars. The support structure 12 is formed by a plurality of first ribs connected to two opposite sides of the fence 11, and the first ribs are stainless steel bars. In other embodiments, the mesh member 2 and the frame 1 may also be made of other corrosion-resistant, heat-resistant, and UV-resistant materials. It is understandable that the mesh member 2 and the frame 1 may be made of the same material or different materials, and there is no limitation here.

[0055] In order to better understand the shelf provided by this application, first Figure 1 to Figure 2 Taking the shelf shown in FIG. 1 as an example, the specific structure of the shelf is described. Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, the fence 11 is composed of two annular ribs spaced apart along the height direction of the fence 11; the support structure 12 is composed of four first ribs spaced apart along the width direction of the fence 11. Specifically, the two annular ribs are spaced apart from each other, and both ends of the four first ribs are respectively connected to two opposite sides of the two annular ribs.

[0056] In other embodiments, the fence 11 may also include three, four, five, six, etc. numbers of annular ribs, and the support structure 12 may also include two, three, five, six, etc. numbers of first ribs, wherein the plurality of first ribs may be arranged at intervals along the width direction or the length direction of the fence 11, or the plurality of first ribs may be arranged in a criss-cross manner, which is not limited here.

[0057] It is understandable that the grid 2, as a functional component to prevent tableware from falling, can play a certain supporting role, but the main supporting structure and load-bearing component of the shelf is the frame 1. Therefore, as long as the structural strength of the frame 1 can meet the load-bearing requirements of the shelf, the structural strength of the grid 2 can be less than that of the frame 1.

[0058] Based on the above design principles, the second ribs of the mesh member 2 can be selected to be thinner than the first ribs and / or the annular ribs of the frame 1. In other words, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first ribs of the support structure 12 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second ribs of the mesh member 2; and / or the cross-sectional area of ​​a single part of the annular ribs of the fence 11 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second ribs of the mesh member 2. It should be noted that the size comparison between the above-mentioned "cross-sectional areas" refers to the "size comparison between the cross-sectional areas of solid structures" or the "size comparison between the cross-sectional areas of hollow structures", which is mainly used to characterize the thickness relationship between the first ribs of the support structure 12, the second ribs of the mesh member 2 and the annular ribs of the fence 11.

[0059] In some embodiments, the mesh member 2 is pressed from a stainless steel mesh, the second rib of the mesh member 2 is a single cylindrical stainless steel wire woven into a stainless steel mesh, and the first rib of the support structure 12 is a cylindrical stainless steel rib. In this case, "the cross-sectional area of ​​the first rib of the support structure 12 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second rib of the mesh member 2" can be inferred that "the diameter of the first rib of the support structure 12 is greater than the diameter of the second rib of the mesh member 2".

[0060] In some embodiments, the mesh member 2 is pressed from a stainless steel mesh, the second rib of the mesh member 2 is a single cylindrical stainless steel wire woven into a stainless steel mesh, and the fence 11 is composed of a plurality of annular ribs, which can be formed by bending and welding stainless steel ribs. In this case, "the cross-sectional area of ​​a single part of the annular rib of the fence 11 is greater than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second rib of the mesh member 2" can be inferred that "the diameter of the annular rib of the fence 11 is greater than the diameter of the second rib of the mesh member 2".

[0061] It can be understood that each strip structure of the grid member 2 is not limited to cylindrical ribs, the strip structure of the frame 1 is not limited to cylindrical ribs, and the annular structure of the frame 1 is not limited to being formed by bending and surrounding cylindrical ribs. Technical personnel in this field can make corresponding adjustments as needed, and no limitation is made here.

[0062] Figure 3 Shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the partial structure of another part of the middle shelf. Figure 3 Combination Figure 1As shown, the shelf also includes a roller assembly 6, and the roller assembly 6 includes a mounting frame 61 and a roller 62 rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 61. A slide rail is provided in the cabinet of the dishwasher, and the roller 62 can slide with the slide rail to achieve the slidable and pull-out installation of the shelf in the cabinet. Specifically, the shelf includes two roller assemblies 6, and the two roller assemblies 6 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the frame 1. Among them, each roller assembly 6 has two rollers 62, the mounting frame 61 is U-shaped, the mounting frame 61 is fixed on the frame 1, and the two arms of the mounting frame 61 extend out of the frame 1 and are respectively connected to a roller 62. In other embodiments, the shelf can also be pull-out installed in the cabinet by other methods, which are not limited here.

[0063] Figure 4 Shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the partial structure of another part of the middle shelf. Figure 4 Combination Figure 1 As shown, in order to facilitate user operation, the shelf also includes a handle 5, which is installed on the side of the frame 1 close to the box door, so that the user can pull the shelf through the handle 5, thereby improving the user's operating convenience and enhancing the user's experience. For example, the handle 5 includes a main body 51 and a sleeve 52 sleeved outside the main body 51, the main body 51 is fixed on the frame 1, and the sleeve 52 is used to improve the user's grip. In some embodiments, the main body 51 is made of stainless steel, and the main body 51 is fixed to the frame 1 by welding. The sleeve 52 is made of a rubber sleeve, which can improve the grip and has the advantages of corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance. In other embodiments, the main body 51 and the sleeve 52 can also be made of other materials, as long as they can meet the requirements of waterproof, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance, and there is no limitation here.

[0064] In order to facilitate the placement of tableware on the grid member 2, the rack also includes a support member, which is located in the frame 1 and is used to support the tableware. The support member can be used to limit the support of the tableware to prevent the tableware from shaking violently during the cleaning process. Different support members can be selected for different tableware to better adapt to supporting the tableware and improve the stability of the tableware during cleaning. The support member extends along the arrangement direction of the first ribs to ensure that the support member can be supported by multiple first ribs, ensure the stability of the support member, and reduce the force of the support member on the grid member 2.

[0065] In order to better support the tableware, two support members form a group of support units, one support member in a group of support units supports the head of the tableware, and the other support member supports the tail of the tableware. In other embodiments, three support members may form a group of support units, or four, five, or six support members may form a group of support units, which is not limited here.

[0066] The number of the supporting units is at least two, and the supporting units are reasonably arranged in the frame 1 according to the shape and size of the supported tableware and the size of the frame 1 .

[0067] For ease of understanding, the following Figure 1 The specific example shown illustrates the support unit, wherein the support unit includes a spoon support unit 31 and a chopstick support unit 32. Since both the spoon and chopsticks are tableware that are longer than their widths, in this embodiment, the spoon support unit 31 and the chopstick support unit 32 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the frame 1.

[0068] Figure 5 Shows Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of the middle shelf at a position of the spoon support unit 31. Figure 6 Shows Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the middle shelf at another position of the spoon support unit 31. Figures 5 and 6 Combined with Figure 1 As shown, the spoon support unit 31 includes a spoon head support 311 and a spoon tail support 312. The spoon head support 311 is located in the middle of the grid member 2 in the length direction, and the spoon tail support 312 is located on one side of the grid member 2 in the length direction and is arranged parallel to the spoon head support 311 and spaced apart.

[0069] The spoon head support 311 has a plurality of first protrusions 3111 and second protrusions 3112 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the spoon head support 311. The first protrusions 3111 and the second protrusions 3112 are arranged alternately. The height of the first protrusion 3111 is greater than the height of the second protrusion 3112, so that the second protrusion 3112 and the first protrusions 3111 adjacent to the two sides thereof jointly form a recess for accommodating the spoon head. The spoon tail support 312 has a plurality of spoon tail receiving grooves 3121 arranged at intervals along the length direction of the spoon tail support 312, and the spoon tail receiving grooves 3121 are roughly V-shaped. When placing the spoon, the head of the spoon is placed in the above-mentioned recess, and the tail of the spoon is placed in the spoon tail receiving groove 3121, so as to achieve limited support for the spoon and ensure that the spoon can be stable and not shake during washing.

[0070] Figure 7 Shows Figure 1 A schematic cross-sectional view of the middle shelf at a position of the chopstick support unit 32. Figure 8 Shows Figure 1 A cross-sectional view of the middle shelf at another position of the chopstick support unit 32. Figures 7 and 8 Combined with Figure 1As shown, the chopstick support unit 32 includes a chopstick head support 321 and a chopstick tail support 322. The chopstick head support 321 is located on the other side of the grid member 2 in the length direction, and the chopstick tail support 322 is located in the middle position of the grid member 2 in the length direction and is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the chopstick head support 321.

[0071] The chopstick head support 321 has a plurality of chopstick head receiving grooves 3211 spaced apart along the length direction of the chopstick head support 321, and the chopstick tail support 322 has a plurality of chopstick tail receiving grooves 3221 spaced apart along the length direction of the chopstick tail support 322. When placing the chopsticks, the chopstick head is placed in the chopstick head receiving groove 3211, and the chopstick tail is placed in the chopstick tail receiving groove 3221, so as to realize the limited support of the chopsticks and ensure that the chopsticks can be stable and not shake when being washed.

[0072] It is understandable that the support unit may also include other tableware support units, such as a rice spoon, a shovel, etc. Those skilled in the art may design corresponding support members according to the shape and size of the tableware, and examples will not be given one by one here.

[0073] Fig. 9 Shows Figure 8 A partial enlarged view of the middle support. Fig. 9 Combination Figure 8 As shown, in order to facilitate the installation of the support member, the shelf also includes a mounting member 4, which includes a connecting portion 41 and a limiting portion 42 connected to the connecting portion 41. The connecting portion 41 extends into the frame 1 and is connected to the support member. The limiting portion 42 is located outside the frame 1 and is used to confine the support member within the frame 1 to prevent the support member from detaching from the frame 1.
