Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of dishwashers, and in particular relates to a rack assembly of a dishwasher and a dishwasher with the rack assembly. Background Art

[0002] Dishwashers are automated devices that automatically clean bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes and other tableware. As people's living standards improve, dishwashers are also used by more and more families. They can reduce the labor intensity of users, improve work efficiency, promote cleanliness and hygiene, and meet the user's comfortable life experience. The working principle of a dishwasher is to drive the washing pump through a motor to spray the washing liquid from the sprayer under a certain pressure, forming a dense hot water flow in a three-dimensional direction. The sprayer rotates due to the reaction force of the water spray, so that the washing liquid is evenly sprayed onto the tableware in the dishwasher, and the tableware is sprayed and rinsed in a three-dimensional manner. The rack is a very important component inside the dishwasher. Its main function is to support and fix bowls and plates and other tableware, allowing users to put the bowls and plates used for dining into it for washing and drying.

[0003] When the dishwasher is in operation, the spray arm's trajectory is circular, while the shape of the dishwasher's inner tank and the shelf are both square. As a result, the tableware placed at the four corners of the inner tank is difficult to clean, resulting in dead corners. Currently, in order to solve the problem of dead corners in dishwashers, most methods on the market use a method of adding a spray arm at the bottom of the dead corner area. However, these methods are costly, and too many water channels disperse the water flow pressure, resulting in poor washing effects.
