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 and Figure 5 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 (equivalent to the upper bowl basket below) can no longer be displaced relative to the middle bowl basket rack (equivalent to the lower bowl basket above), 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 in which tableware can be easily taken out and placed in a lower 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] Upper bowl basket;

[0011] The lower bowl basket is located below the upper bowl basket;

[0012] It is characterized in that it also includes a positioning component, the positioning component includes

[0013] A positioning frame is arranged on the top of the lower bowl basket and located at the rear of the lower bowl basket, and a mounting hole is arranged on the positioning frame;

[0014] A positioning rod extending in the left-right direction and mounted on the rear portion of the side wall of the upper bowl basket, wherein the positioning rod is rotatably mounted in the mounting hole around its axis, so that the upper bowl basket can be rotated to a horizontal state or a vertical state;

[0015] The bracket is arranged on the top of the lower basket and located at the front of the upper basket. The front of the upper basket in a horizontal state can be detachably restrained thereon.

[0016] In order to enable the front part of the upper basket to be detachably restrained on the bracket, a support rod is provided on the side wall of the upper basket and is located in front of the positioning rod. When the upper basket is in a horizontal state, the support rod is placed on the bracket. At this time, the upper basket is blocked by the bracket and cannot move downward. At the same time, it will not move upward under the action of gravity and without external force.

[0017] In order to prevent the support rod from moving forward and backward relative to the bracket, a groove is provided on the top of the bracket for at least partially accommodating the support rod, and the groove serves to limit the position of the support rod in the front-to-back direction.

[0018] In order to fix the upper basket relative to the lower basket when in a vertical state, a positioning structure is provided between the upper basket and the lower basket. When the upper basket is in a vertical state, the positioning structure detachably restrains the upper basket and the lower basket.

[0019] The positioning structure may have a variety of structural forms. For example, the upper basket and the lower basket may be connected by screws. However, when the upper basket needs to rotate relative to the lower basket, the screws need to be disassembled and assembled, which is troublesome. Therefore, a buckle is provided on the side wall of the upper basket, and the cross-section of the buckle is C-shaped. A limiting strip that can enter or pass through the notch of the buckle is provided on the lower basket. The limiting strip and the buckle together constitute the positioning structure.

[0020] In the above solution, the longitudinal section of the buckle is C-shaped, and the limiting strip extends along the front-to-back direction.

[0021] In order to adjust the height of the upper basket relative to the lower basket, the lower basket is provided with a lower rib, the positioning frame is arranged on the lower rib, and the mounting hole is located above the lower rib, the positioning rod is detachably arranged in the mounting hole, and the positioning rod can be removed from the mounting hole and placed on the lower rib. When the positioning rod is installed in the mounting hole, the upper basket is at a higher height, and when the positioning rod is placed on the lower rib, the upper basket is at a lower height.

[0022] When the height of the positioning rod is adjusted, the height of the support rod must also be adjusted naturally, otherwise the upper bowl basket will be in a tilted state, causing the tableware inside to slide off. Therefore, the lower bowl basket is also provided with an upper rib located above the lower rib, and the bracket is installed on the upper rib. When the positioning rod is placed on the lower rib, the support rod moves from the top of the bracket to rest on the upper rib. In this way, when the positioning rod is installed in the mounting hole, the support rod rests on the bracket, and the upper bowl basket is at a higher height. When the positioning rod rests on the lower rib, the support rod rests on the upper rib, and the upper bowl basket is at a lower height.

[0023] When the support rod is placed on the upper rib, in order to limit the support rod in the front-rear direction, the upper rib is provided with a limiting column located behind the bracket. When the support rod is placed on the upper rib, the support rod is limited between the bracket and the limiting column.

[0024] Preferably, the rear wall surface of the positioning frame and the rear wall surface of the bracket are inclined backward from top to bottom to form a guide surface, so that when adjusting the height of the upper bowl basket, the support rod and the positioning rod can slide along the corresponding guide surface, and the height adjustment is convenient.

[0025] Preferably, there are two groups of positioning components, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper basket, so that there are multiple points of positioning between the upper basket and the lower basket, and the stability of the upper basket is good.

[0026] 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 and the bowl-basket assembly, the box body has a washing cavity inside, and the bowl-basket assembly is arranged in the washing cavity.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following advantages: the upper basket of the utility model can be turned over. When the upper basket is in use, the upper basket can be rotated to a horizontal state, and tableware can be placed thereon; when it is necessary to take or place tableware on the lower basket, the upper basket can be rotated to a vertical state. At this time, the upper basket will not cover the upper part of the lower basket, so it is convenient to take or place tableware on the lower basket. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0037] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the dishwasher of this preferred embodiment includes a housing 1 and a bowl-basket assembly. The housing 1 has a washing cavity 11 inside, and the bowl-basket assembly is arranged in the washing cavity 11. This is the prior art and will not be described in detail here.

[0039] The bowl basket assembly includes an upper bowl basket 2, a lower bowl basket 3 and a positioning assembly. The upper bowl basket 2 and the lower bowl basket 3 can adopt existing structures. The lower bowl basket 3 is located below the upper bowl basket 2. There are two groups of positioning assemblies, which are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the upper bowl basket 2. The structures of the two groups of positioning assemblies are the same. One of the positioning assemblies is introduced in detail below.

[0040] The positioning assembly includes a positioning frame 4, a positioning rod 5, a bracket 6, a support rod 7 and a positioning structure.

[0041] The positioning frame 4 is disposed on the top of the lower basket 3 , and the positioning frame 4 is located at the rear of the lower basket 3 . The positioning frame 4 is provided with a mounting hole 41 .

[0042] The positioning rod 5 extends in the left-right direction and is installed at the rear of the side wall of the upper basket 2. The positioning rod 5 is rotatably installed in the mounting hole 41 around its axis, so that the upper basket 2 can be rotated to a horizontal state or a vertical state.

[0043] The bracket 6 is arranged on the top of the lower basket 3 and located in front of the upper basket 2. The bracket 6 can be detachably restrained by the front of the upper basket 2 in a horizontal state. In this embodiment, a support rod 7 is arranged on the side wall of the upper basket 2 in front of the positioning rod 5. Figure 5 As shown, when the upper basket 2 is in a horizontal state, the support rod 7 is placed on the bracket 6. At this time, the upper basket 2 is blocked by the bracket 6 and cannot move downward. At the same time, it will not move upward under the action of gravity and without external force. In addition, a groove 61 is provided at the top of the bracket 6 for the support rod 7 to be at least partially accommodated therein, and the groove 61 serves to limit the position of the support rod 7 in the front-rear direction.

[0044] A positioning structure is further provided between the upper basket 2 and the lower basket 3. When the upper basket 2 is in a vertical state, the positioning structure detachably restrains the upper basket 2 and the lower basket 3 together, so that the upper basket 2 can be fixed relative to the lower basket 3 when in a vertical state.

[0045] like Figure 3 As shown, a buckle 8 is provided on the side wall of the upper bowl basket 2, and the longitudinal section of the buckle 8 is C-shaped. A limiting strip that can enter or pass through the notch 81 of the buckle 8 is provided on the lower bowl basket 3. The limiting strip extends along the front-to-back direction. The limiting strip is the upper rib 92 below. The limiting strip and the buckle 8 together constitute a positioning structure, and the buckle 8 can be a flexible member.

[0046] When it is necessary to store or take tableware in the lower basket 3, the upper basket 2 is rotated to a vertical state, and the lower basket 3 and the upper basket 2 are relatively fixed by the positioning structure. At this time, there is no obstruction above the lower basket 3, which is convenient for taking and placing tableware.

[0047] In this embodiment, after the constraints of the positioning structure on the upper basket 2 and the lower basket 3 are released, the height of the upper basket 2 relative to the lower basket 3 can be adjusted, which is specifically achieved in the following manner:

[0048] The lower bowl basket 3 is provided with a lower rib 91, the positioning frame 4 is provided on the lower rib 91, and the mounting hole 41 is located above the lower rib 91, the positioning rod 5 is detachably provided in the mounting hole 41, and the positioning rod 5 can be moved out of the mounting hole 41 and placed on the lower rib 91. In this embodiment, the rear side of the mounting hole 41 is open for the positioning rod 5 to enter and exit.

[0049] When the height of the positioning rod 5 is adjusted, the height of the support rod 7 must also be adjusted, otherwise the upper bowl basket 2 will be in a tilted state, causing the tableware therein to slide off. Figure 8 , 9 As shown, the lower bowl basket 3 is also provided with an upper rib 92 located above the lower rib 91, and the bracket 6 is installed on the upper rib 92. When the positioning rod 5 is placed on the lower rib 91, the support rod 7 moves from the top of the bracket 6 to be placed on the upper rib 92.

[0050] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, when the positioning rod 5 is installed in the mounting hole 41, the support rod 7 is placed on the groove 61 of the bracket 6, and the upper bowl basket 2 is at a higher height; Figure 8 , 9 As shown, when the positioning rod 5 is placed on the lower rib 91, the support rod 7 is placed on the upper rib 92, and the upper bowl basket 2 is at a lower height.

[0051] In addition, when the support rod 7 is placed on the upper rib 92, in order to limit the support rod 7 in the front and rear directions, a limiting column 911 located behind the bracket 6 is provided on the upper rib 92. When the support rod 7 is placed on the upper rib 92, the support rod 7 is limited between the bracket 6 and the limiting column 911.

[0052] In addition, the rear wall surface of the positioning frame 4 and the rear wall surface of the bracket 6 are inclined backward from top to bottom to form a guide surface 42, so that when adjusting the height of the upper bowl basket 2, the support rod 7 and the positioning rod 5 can slide along the corresponding guide surface 42, and the height adjustment is convenient.
