Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning utensils for tableware such as chopsticks, and in particular to a chopstick cleaning basket. Background Art

[0002] A dishwasher is a device that automatically washes tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, forks, spoons, and pots. The fully automatic dishwashers on the market can be divided into two categories: home use and commercial use. Home use fully automatic dishwashers are only suitable for families, and they are mainly built-in, desktop, integrated with a sink, and independent. There are certain problems with washing chopsticks in Chinese tableware in a dishwasher. That is, if a certain number of chopsticks are directly placed in an open washing basket or washing tray, the chopsticks will contact each other, stack, or cross each other, making it difficult for the washing liquid to impact each chopstick, so it cannot be guaranteed that the chopsticks are completely cleaned. During the drying process, due to poor ventilation between the stacked chopsticks, there may be a problem of partial undrying. Whether it is incomplete cleaning or unstable drying effect, it will affect the cleanliness and hygiene of the tableware. Utility Model Content

[0003] Aiming at the problem that the existing chopstick cleaning basket cannot effectively clean or dry the chopsticks, the utility model provides a chopstick cleaning basket.

[0004] The technical solution of the utility model provides a chopstick cleaning basket, comprising a basket for accommodating chopsticks and a basket cover, wherein the basket cover can be fixed at a set height of the basket and is provided with a plurality of partition holes for single chopsticks to pass through.

[0025] The following is a detailed description of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. In this specification, the size ratios in the drawings do not represent the actual size ratios, but are only used to reflect the relative position relationship and connection relationship between the components. Components with the same name or the same number represent similar or identical structures and are only for illustrative purposes.

[0026] The structure of the chopstick cleaning basket of the utility model is as follows Figure 1 As shown, it includes a basket 1 for holding chopsticks, a basket cover 2 is arranged at an appropriate height in the basket 1, and the basket cover 2 has a plurality of partition holes 21 for single chopsticks to pass through. The above arrangement allows the chopsticks to be inserted into the basket 1 through the partition holes 21, and each chopstick is fixed through the basket cover 2, thereby forming a uniform gap between the chopsticks, so that both the cleaning liquid in the cleaning process and the warm air in the drying process can flow better between the chopsticks, ensuring the cleaning and drying effects of the chopsticks. In particular, it avoids the problem that the dirt on the contact surface that may be caused by the contact between the chopsticks cannot be effectively cleaned. Preferably, a basket rack 3 can be set on the basket 1 for fixing the basket 1 on a dishwasher or other device. The basket cover 2 is at an appropriate distance from the opening of the basket 1, so that when the chopsticks are placed in the basket 1 and contact the basket cover 2, they will not fall out of the basket 1. Usually, in order to achieve the above function, the distance between the basket cover 2 and the opening of the basket 1 should be such that when the chopsticks are placed, the center of gravity is located inside the basket 1. The design can be simplified to set the depth of the basket cover 2 under the opening of the basket 1 to be not less than or equal to half the length of the chopsticks. When a pair of chopsticks is placed in the basket 1, since the basket cover 2 is at an appropriate height, it will not fall out of the basket 1, but will only tilt slightly. Since the partition hole 21 only allows a single chopstick to pass through, the chopsticks will naturally achieve the function of splitting and inserting under the guidance of the partition hole 21 during the falling process, thereby realizing the rapid splitting and inserting of the chopsticks. Actual measurements show that 15 sets of chopsticks can be split in about 10 seconds in the above manner.

[0027] Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the structure of the basket 1, and Figure 3: is a schematic diagram of the structure of the basket cover 2. The basket cover 2 and the basket 1 are preferably arranged in a detachable manner, which is mainly for cleaning considerations. If the two are fixed as one, since cleaning tools and the like cannot penetrate into the interior of the basket 1, it is impossible to fully and reliably clean the bottom area inside the basket 1 and the back of the basket cover 2. The detachable setting allows the basket cover 2 to be detached during cleaning to ensure the cleaning effect. Specifically, the basket 1 is provided with a plurality of step portions 11 supporting the basket cover 2 at an appropriate height therein. The step portions 11 are generally portions protruding outward from the surface and distributed on the inner surface of the basket 1, and may be continuously or intermittently arranged for a circle on the inner surface of the basket 1. The basket cover 2 has a partition 22 supported on the step portion 11, and partition holes 21 are distributed on the partition 22. The partition holes 21 are preferably covered with the partition 22 to effectively utilize the area of ​​the partition 22, thereby ensuring that the partition holes 21 have the highest chopstick capacity. In order to lock the basket cover 2 on the step portion 11 in the basket 1, a first buckle A11 can be provided on one of the basket cover 2 and the basket 1, and a first slot A12 can be provided at a corresponding position on the other of the basket cover 2. When the basket cover 2 moves down to a designated position in the basket 1, the first buckle A11 enters the first slot A12 for engagement, thereby fixing the basket cover 2 at the designated position in the basket 1, which is usually the step portion 11.

[0028] The basket cover 2 may be optionally provided with a handle 23 extending toward the opening of the basket 1 to facilitate the removal of the basket cover 2. The handle 23 should minimize the occupation of the internal space of the basket 1. For this purpose, the side of the basket 1 is preferably provided with a groove 12 for accommodating the handle 23. Further, a second buckle A21 may be provided on one of the end of the handle of the basket cover 2 extending to the opening of the basket 1 and the side of the basket 1, and a corresponding second clamping groove A22 may be provided on the other. When the basket cover 2 is located at the set position, the second buckle A21 and the second clamping groove A22 form a matching clamping to fix the basket cover 2. The clamping structure formed by the first buckle A11 and the first clamping groove A12 and the clamping structure formed by the second buckle A21 and the second clamping groove A22 are located at different positions of the basket cover 2 to limit the displacement of the basket cover 2 from different directions, thereby ensuring that the basket cover 2 is fixed reliably. Of course, it is obvious that the specific structure of the second buckle A21 and the second slot A22 should not be limited to the structure shown in the figure where the protruding part on one of them limits the other side surface or the aforementioned structure formed by the protruding part and the inner concave part that cooperate with each other. When disassembling, the basket 1 or the basket cover 2 is slightly deformed and opened by applying force to it. On this basis, the lock can be released by changing the posture of the basket cover 2, so that the basket cover 2 can be taken out.

[0029] Figure 4Schematic diagram of the bottom of the basket 1. The bottom of the basket 1 is provided with a bottom surface 14 with mesh holes 141, and a support edge 13 slightly extending outward from the bottom surface is provided along the edge of the bottom surface 14 to support the placement of the basket 1. The support edge 13 protrudes outward to form a suitable space below the bottom surface 14 when the basket 1 is placed. On the one hand, this space isolates the bottom surface 14 from direct contact with the storage surface, and on the other hand, it also provides a space for the residual water in the basket 1 to flow out. Further, the edge of the support edge 13 along the bottom surface 14 is not closed, and one or more notches 131 are provided to provide a flow channel. In addition, as shown in the figure, the mesh holes 141 are undulatingly distributed on the bottom surface 14, so that when the end of the chopsticks contacts the inner surface of the bottom surface 14, the contact area between the end and the bottom surface 14 is reduced, avoiding the problem that the end is dirty and difficult to clean, and the undulating distribution can ensure that the chopsticks do not leak out of the bottom surface 14, so that the mesh holes 141 can be larger than the end surface area of ​​the chopsticks, thereby improving the effect of water discharge from the mesh holes 141.

[0030] The chopstick cleaning basket of the utility model can be optionally provided with a basket frame 3. Figure 5 : is a schematic diagram of the structure of the basket 3. The fixed end 15 protruding from the surface is provided on the periphery of the basket 1. The fixed end 15 generally has a head with a larger cross section and a neck with a smaller cross section connecting the head and the surface of the basket 1. The basket 3 is provided with a fixing groove 31 for limiting the fixed end 15 on the basket 1. The fixing groove 31 has a smaller width at least at a part of the position for the neck of the fixed end 15 to pass through, while limiting the head of the fixed end 15 to pass through, so that when the fixed end 15 is moved into the position of the fixing groove 31, the fixed end 15 is limited to slide out, so as to realize the connection between the basket 1 and the basket 3.

[0031] The fixed ends 15 are preferably provided with two groups in the basket 1, and the fixed angle of the basket 1 can be changed by changing the fixed position of the fixed ends 15 in the fixed groove 31. In this regard, the fixed groove 31 includes a first fixed groove 311 opened at one end of the basket frame 3, which is used to accommodate and limit one of the two fixed ends 15; a second fixed groove 312 is provided at a certain distance from the first fixed groove 311, and the second fixed groove 312 is symmetrically arranged in a nearly T shape relative to the extension direction of the first fixed groove 311. In other words, the second fixed groove 312 is generally opened in an arc shape with a certain radius around the position where the fixed ends 15 are fixed at the first fixed groove 311, and this radius is generally the distance between the two fixed ends 15. In actual use, one of the fixed ends 15 is fixed at the first fixed groove 311, and the other fixed end 15 is set at any position in the second fixed groove 312 as required. When the position of the fixed end 15 on the second fixed groove 312 is changed, the installation angle of the basket 1 is changed accordingly. This is necessary in some cases, for example, when the basket 3 and the basket 1 are engaged with the side wall of the dishwasher, if the chopsticks are long, the upper cover of the dishwasher may not be completely closed. At this time, by rotating the basket 1 at a certain angle and tilting it, the height of the chopsticks can be reduced, thereby avoiding interference and ensuring that the cover is completely closed. The optional fixing groove 31 may include a third fixing groove 313 that connects and penetrates the first fixing groove 311 and the second fixing groove 312. The third fixing groove 313 is connected to the first fixing groove 311 and the second fixing groove 312, and the third fixing groove 313 has a certain length. The second fixing groove 312 is located at the top of the third fixing groove 313, and forms a nearly "T"-shaped structure with the third fixing groove 313, and the two sides of the second fixing groove 312 have downwardly protruding ends. Preferably, the second fixing groove 312 is provided with a position for fixing the fixing end 15 at least in the middle section and on both sides, that is, there are at least three gears for installation angles. In addition, it is obvious that because the fixing end 15 has a wide T-shaped head, a notch area for the fixing end 15 to enter the first fixing groove 311 and the second fixing groove 312 can be set at a non-fixed position on the first fixing groove 311 and the second fixing groove 312. Figure 5 In the embodiment, these gap areas include areas extending downward at both ends of the second fixing groove 312 and areas extending downward at the first fixing groove 311. The second fixing groove 312 is further provided on the basket rack 3 for clamping and fixing the basket rack 3 and the basket 1 as a whole at the installation position, and these installation positions include the side frame of the dishwasher bowl basket, the fixing point on the kitchen countertop, etc. When the basket rack 3 is connected to the basket 1 and hooked on the bowl basket frame, etc., the basket 1 naturally falls into the corresponding gap position. Due to its small width, the head of the fixing end 15 cannot pass through, and the basket 1 is reliably suspended on the basket rack 3.

[0032] The above content is only a description of the preferred implementation mode of the utility model, and does not limit the scope of the utility model. Without departing from the design spirit of the utility model, various modifications and improvements made to the technical solution of the utility model by ordinary technicians in this field should fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the utility model.
