[0037] Please combine Figures 1 to 10 The cup holder 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model includes a mounting member 12 and a support member 14, wherein the support member 14 is movably connected to the mounting member 12, and the support member 14 can be switched between an unfolded position, an intermediate position and a storage position;

[0038] The cup holder 100 is configured such that the support member 14 is switched between the deployed position and the intermediate position by a rotational movement relative to the mounting member 12 , and is switched between the intermediate position and the storage position by a lifting movement relative to the mounting member 12 .

[0039] In the above-mentioned cup holder 100, the support member 14 switches between the deployed position and the intermediate position by rotating relative to the mounting member 12, and switches between the intermediate position and the storage position by lifting relative to the mounting member 12, so that when the cup holder 100 is not in use, the mounting member 12 can be in the storage position, reducing the internal space occupied by the cup holder 100 in the household appliance, and to a certain extent, more items can be placed in the household appliance.

[0040] Specifically, the support member 14 includes a bearing portion 16. Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 When the support member 14 is in the unfolded position, the bearing portion 16 is used to support a cup (such as a goblet), and the goblet can be placed upside down on the bearing portion 16 to prevent water from accumulating in the cup while washing. The utility model does not specifically limit the number of the bearing portions 16. Figure 1 In the embodiment, one support member 14 includes four bearing parts 16, which can support four cups. Figure 1 and Fig.11 In the embodiment, a cup holder 100 includes two mounting members 12, and the two mounting members 12 are arranged at intervals. It can be understood that the number of the mounting members 12 is not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0041] Optionally, when the support member 14 is in the unfolded position, the upper surface of the support member 14 can also be used to support a cup (such as a teacup), and the teacup can be placed upside down on the upper surface of the support member 14 to prevent water from accumulating in the teacup while washing. The number of teacups placed on a support member 14 can be determined according to the size of the teacup, and the present invention does not specifically limit this.

[0042] Optionally, the support member 14 is provided with a plurality of through holes 18. On the one hand, the provision of the through holes 18 can reduce the material usage of the support member 14. On the other hand, the provision of the through holes 18 also facilitates the water on the support member 14 to drain out of the support member 14 to reduce water accumulation.

[0043] The cup holder 100 can be used in household appliances, including but not limited to dishwashers, disinfection cabinets, etc. The household appliance includes a cavity, and the cavity is provided with a chamber. Optionally, the cup holder 100 can be installed on the surface of the cavity facing the chamber through a mounting member 12, for example, the mounting member 12 can be installed on the surface of the cavity facing the chamber through a method including but not limited to a buckle, a bolt, a fit, an interference fit, etc.

[0044] Optionally, the household appliance includes a bowl basket 200, and the bowl basket 200 is provided with a receiving space 20, and the receiving space 20 can be used to place tableware. The cup holder 100 can be arranged on the bowl basket 200 through a mounting member 12. For example, the mounting member 12 can be mounted on a connecting strip (such as a metal strip) of the bowl basket 200 by means including but not limited to buckles, bolts, fitting, interference fit, etc.

[0045] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 5 and Figure 8 When the support member 14 is in the unfolded position, the support member 14 occupies more space in the horizontal direction for placing cups. When there is no need to place cups, the user can operate the support member 14 to move relative to the mounting member 12 so that the support member 14 is in the storage position, such as Figure 6 and Fig.10 Specifically, the user can operate the support member 14 to rotate relative to the mounting member 12 to move from the deployed position ( Figure 8 ) to the middle position ( Fig. 9 At this time, the user can let go, and the support member 14 can drop from the middle position to the storage position under the action of gravity ( Fig.10 ), the user can also hold the support member 14 by hand and lower the support member 14 from the middle position to the storage position.

[0046] When the support member 14 is in the storage position, the support member 14 occupies more space in the vertical direction and reduces the horizontal space, so that the cup holder 100 is more compact, and more items (such as tableware) can be placed in the household appliance to a certain extent.

[0047] When the support member 14 is in the storage position, the user can hold the support member 14 by hand and move it upward to the middle position relative to the mounting member 12, and then hold the support member 14 by hand and rotate it to the deployed position relative to the mounting member 12, so that the support member 14 switches between the deployed position and the middle position by rotational movement relative to the mounting member 12, and switches between the middle position and the storage position by lifting and lowering movement relative to the mounting member 12.

[0048] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the height of the support member 14 when it is in the storage position is less than the height of the support member 14 when it is in the middle position.

[0049] As a result, the height of the support member 14 when in the storage position can be reduced.

[0050] Specifically, when the support member 14 is in the storage position, the cup holder 100 is not in use, so as to reduce the space occupied by the cup holder 100. Figure 6 and Figure 7 , the height of the support member 14 when it is in the storage position ( Figure 6 ) is less than the height of the support member 14 when it is in the middle position ( Figure 7 ), so that when the support member 14 is in the storage position, the height of the support member 14 can be reduced, and the support member 14 can be in a lower position. When the cup holder 100 is installed in the bowl basket 200, the support member 14 does not need to protrude from the bowl basket, or the protruding length is smaller, which is more conducive to the placement of tableware.

[0051] In some embodiments, the mounting member 12 includes a mounting portion 22 and a connecting portion 24 that are connected to each other. The mounting portion 22 is provided with a mounting groove and a mounting notch. The mounting notch is connected to the mounting groove. The support member 14 is movably connected to the connecting portion 24 .

[0052] Thus, the cup holder 100 may be mounted on the bowl basket 200 through the mounting groove and the mounting notch.

[0053] Specifically, please combine Figure 5 The bowl basket 200 includes a first connecting bar 26 and a second connecting bar 28. The first connecting bar 26 extends in the horizontal direction, and the second connecting bar 28 extends in the vertical direction. The first connecting bar 26 and the second connecting bar 28 can be connected by means including but not limited to welding and bonding.

[0054] Please combine Figure 4The mounting groove includes a first mounting groove 30 and a second mounting groove 32. The first mounting groove 30 extends in the horizontal direction, and the second mounting groove 32 extends in the vertical direction. The first mounting groove 30 and the second mounting groove 32 are intersecting and communicating with each other. The mounting notch includes a first notch 34 and a second notch 36. The first notch 34 communicates with the first mounting groove 30, and the second notch 36 communicates with the second mounting groove 32.

[0055] During installation, the first connecting bar 26 can be inserted into the first installation groove 30 through the first notch 34 , and the second connecting bar 28 can be inserted into the second installation groove 32 through the second notch 36 , so that the cup holder 100 can be stably installed on the bowl basket 200 .

[0056] It is understandable that in other embodiments, the cup holder 100 may also be installed on the first connecting bar 26 or on the second connecting bar 28 through the installation notch and the installation groove.

[0057] In some embodiments, the mounting member 12 includes a connecting portion 24, and the supporting member 14 is provided with an operating groove 38, a portion of the connecting portion 24 is accommodated in the operating groove 38, and when the supporting member 14 is in the deployed position and the intermediate position, the supporting member 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 24, and when the supporting member 14 is in the stored position and the intermediate position, the supporting member 14 can slide relative to the connecting portion 24.

[0058] Thereby, the position switching of the support member 14 can be achieved.

[0059] Specifically, the operation slot 38 is provided on a side of the support member 14 close to the mounting member 12. The shape of the operation slot 38 is adapted to the shape of the connecting portion 24.

[0060] When the support member 14 is in the deployed position and the intermediate position, the support member 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting portion 24 , so that the support member 14 can be switched between the intermediate position and the deployed position by a rotational movement relative to the mounting member 12 .

[0061] When the support member 14 is in the storage position and the intermediate position, the support member 14 can slide relative to the connecting portion 24 , so that the support member 14 can switch between the intermediate position and the deployed position by lifting and lowering movement relative to the mounting member 12 .

[0062] A portion of the connecting portion 24 is accommodated in the operating groove 38 , so that the movement of the supporting member 14 can be guided by the connecting portion 24 , making the movement of the supporting member 14 more stable.

[0063] Optionally, the connection portion 24 and the support member 14 can be connected by interference fit, the connection portion 24 and the support member 14 are tightly connected, the cup holder 100 has a better overall feel, and the interference amount can be determined by simulating a relatively labor-saving process when a user operates the support member 14. Optionally, the connection portion 24 and the support member 14 can be connected by clearance fit, and the user can operate more labor-saving.

[0064] In some embodiments, a limiting portion 40 is provided on the connecting portion 24 , and a limiting groove 42 is provided on the supporting member 14 . When the supporting member 14 is in the expanded position, the limiting portion 40 is accommodated in the limiting groove 42 to limit the rotation angle of the supporting member 14 .

[0065] Thereby, the angle of the support member 14 when in the deployed position can be limited.

[0066] Specifically, please combine Figure 1 and Figure 7 The limiting portion 40 is accommodated in the limiting groove 42, so that the support member 14 can no longer rotate downward, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the support member 14, and the support member 14 is in the unfolded position.

[0067] The present invention does not specifically limit the shape of the limiting portion 40 and the shape of the limiting groove 42. Optionally, the shape of the limiting portion 40 is adapted to the shape of the limiting groove 42. Figure 7 In the figure, the limiting portion 40 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the limiting groove 42 is a square groove.

[0068] In addition, when the limiting portion 40 is accommodated in the limiting groove 42, the top of the limiting groove 42 is supported on the top of the limiting portion 40. The support member 14 is supported on the connecting portion 24 through the limiting portion 40, so that the support member 14 can be relatively stably in the unfolded position.

[0069] exist Figure 7 In the embodiment, a limiting portion 40 is provided on both sides of a connecting portion 24 along the left and right directions, so that the support member 14 can be uniformly limited and loaded. It can be understood that the utility model does not specifically limit the number of the limiting portions 40.

[0070] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 4 and Figure 7 The connecting portion 24 is provided with a rotation groove 44, and the support member 14 is provided with a rotation shaft 46. When the support member 14 is in the expanded position and the intermediate position, a part of the rotation shaft 46 is rotatably accommodated in the rotation groove 44. When the support member 14 is in the storage position, the rotation shaft 46 is located outside the rotation groove 44.

[0071] Thereby, the support member 14 and the connecting portion 24 can be rotatably connected.

[0072] Optionally, the rotating shaft 46 can pass through the operating slot 38. The rotating slot 44 has an opening that is opened downward. When the support member 14 is in the deployed position and the intermediate position, a portion of the rotating shaft 46 is rotatably accommodated in the rotating slot 44, so that the support member 14 can switch between the deployed position and the intermediate position in a rotating manner. Optionally, when the support member 14 is in the deployed position, the support member 14 forms a fulcrum in the rotating slot 44 through the rotating shaft 46, and forms another fulcrum on the connecting portion 24, so that the support member 14 can be stably in the deployed position.

[0073] When the support member 14 is in the middle position, the rotating shaft 46 can be separated from the rotating groove 44 from the opening, so that the support member 14 can slide downward to the storage position relative to the mounting member 12. When the support member 14 is in the storage position, the rotating shaft 46 can slide upward to the opening, and a part of the rotating shaft 46 slides into the rotating groove 44 through the opening, so that the support member 14 can slide upward to the middle position relative to the mounting member 12.

[0074] In some embodiments, the material of the mounting member 12 includes plastic or metal, and the material of the supporting member 14 includes plastic or metal.

[0075] Therefore, the cup holder 100 can be made of different materials.

[0076] Specifically, in one embodiment, the material of the mounting member 12 and the support member 14 is plastic, the mounting member 12 can be an integral structural member, and the support member 14 can be an integral structural member. For example, the mounting member 12 and the support member 14 can be manufactured by injection molding, and after being manufactured, the mounting member 12 and the support member 14 are assembled together.

[0077] In one embodiment, the material of the mounting member 12 and the support member 14 is metal, and they can be integrally manufactured by, for example, stamping, bending, etc. After being manufactured, the mounting member 12 and the support member 14 are assembled together.

[0078] In one embodiment, one of the mounting member 12 and the supporting member 14 is made of plastic, and the other is made of metal. After being manufactured separately, the mounting member 12 and the supporting member 14 are assembled together.

[0079] In some embodiments, please combine Figure 3 and Figure 5 When the support member 14 is in the unfolded position, the support member 14 is disposed obliquely upward from the mounting member 12 .

[0080] In this way, water that has accumulated on the support element 14 can be conducted away.

[0081] Specifically, when the cup holder 100 is used in a dishwasher, the cup holder 100 is placed in the chamber of the dishwasher. The water flow sprayed by the spray arm cleans the cups and / or tableware in the chamber. The water sprayed on the support member 14 or the water dripping on the support member 14 can flow downward along the inclined support member 14, so that the water accumulated on the support member 14 can be guided away, and the water remaining on the support member 14 can be reduced.

[0082] A household appliance according to an embodiment of the present utility model comprises the cup holder 100 according to any one of the above embodiments.

[0083] In the above-mentioned household appliance, the support member 14 switches between the unfolded position and the intermediate position by rotating relative to the mounting member 12, and switches between the intermediate position and the storage position by lifting relative to the mounting member 12, so that when the cup holder 100 is not in use, the mounting member 12 can be in the storage position, reducing the internal space occupied by the cup holder 100 in the household appliance, and to a certain extent, more items can be placed in the household appliance.

[0084] Specifically, household appliances include but are not limited to dishwashers, disinfection cabinets, etc.

[0085] In some embodiments, the household appliance includes a bowl basket 200 , the bowl basket 200 is provided with a receiving space 20 , the cup holder 100 is provided on the bowl basket 200 via a mounting member 12 , and when the support member 14 is in the storage position, the support member 14 is located in the receiving space 20 .

[0086] Thus, the space occupied by the cup holder 100 when the support member 14 is in the storage position can be reduced.

[0087] Specifically, the storage space 20 may contain, but is not limited to, bowls, plates, dishes, chopsticks, knives, forks, spoons, spatulas, bottles, etc. When the support member 14 is in the storage position, the cup holder 100 is not in use, the support member 14 is located in the storage space 20, and the support member 14 does not protrude from the bowl basket 200 (it may be flush with the top of the bowl basket 200, or located below the top of the bowl basket 200), which reduces the space occupied by the cup holder 100 above the bowl basket 200, and is conducive to the placement of tableware and the movement of the spray arm.

[0088] Please combine Figure 6 and Fig.10 When the support member 14 is in the storage position, the support member 14 is substantially in a vertical state and is disposed close to the bowl basket 200 toward the side of the accommodation space 20 , thereby reducing the occupation of the accommodation space 20 by the support member 14 .

[0089] The number of cup holders 100 provided on a bowl basket 200 includes but is not limited to one, two or more. Figure 5In the embodiment, two cup holders 100 are arranged on a bowl basket 200, and are specifically arranged on the rear side wall of the receiving space 20. It can be understood that the position of the cup holder 100 in the receiving space 20 is not specifically limited in the present invention.
