[0034] The bowl and basket assembly 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 As shown, the bowl basket assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model is used for a dishwasher, and the bowl basket assembly 100 may include: a bowl basket 10, a balancing frame 20 and a plurality of first rollers 30.

[0036] Specifically, the bowl basket 10 can be pushed and pulled along the first direction. The balance frame 20 is rotatably mounted on the bowl basket 10, and the balance frame 20 is equipped with a plurality of first rollers 30, at least two of which are respectively located on both sides of a rotation axis perpendicular to the balance frame 20, and the rotation axis of the first rollers 30 extends along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0037] The first direction is the push-pull direction of the bowl basket 10. The first direction may be the length direction, width direction, etc. of the bowl basket 10. The second direction is a direction perpendicular to the first direction. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the first direction is the front-to-back direction, and the second direction is the left-to-right direction. The rotation axis of the first roller 30 extends along the second direction, so that the first roller 30 rotates to move the bowl basket 10 along the first direction.

[0038] The balancing frame 20 may be equipped with two, three, four or more first rollers 30, so that the balancing frame 20 is equipped with first rollers 30 on both sides perpendicular to the rotation axis. The rotation axis of the balancing frame 20 may extend along the first direction, along the second direction, etc., so that the balancing frame 20 has a rotational freedom relative to the bowl basket 10. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the rotation axis of the balance frame 20 extends in the left-right direction. Figure 1 In the illustrated state, a first roller 30 is installed on the front side of the rotation axis of the balance frame 20 and a first roller 30 is installed on the rear side.

[0039] In some related technologies, the bowl basket is installed with multiple rollers, and the bowl basket is pushed and pulled on the track by the rollers, but the rollers at different positions of the bowl basket are subjected to different loads of the bowl basket, which makes the bowl basket not pushed and pulled smoothly, and the rollers subjected to greater loads exert greater pressure on the track, which makes the track prone to wear marks and even deformation such as dents. The service life of the rollers and the track is short, and the bowl basket is pushed and pulled less smoothly, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0040] In the present application, the balancing frame 20 is rotatably connected to the bowl basket 10, a plurality of first rollers 30 are installed on the balancing frame 20, and at least two first rollers 30 are respectively located on both sides of the rotation axis perpendicular to the balancing frame 20. The load applied to the balancing frame 20 by the bowl basket 10 can be distributed to the plurality of first rollers 30 more evenly through the rotational freedom provided by the balancing frame 20, so that the load on each first roller 30 at the same balancing frame 20 is lower. For example, the balancing frame 20 is installed at a position where the load on the bowl basket 10 is greater to reduce the load on each first roller 30 at this position, which is conducive to reducing the load difference on the first rollers 30 at different positions of the bowl basket 10 and improving the smoothness of pushing and pulling the bowl basket 10. It is also conducive to reducing the maximum load on the first roller 30, reducing the deformation of the first roller 30 and the pressure of the first roller 30 on the track, so that the track is not easy to produce wear marks or even deformation, the first roller 30 and the track have a longer service life, and the bowl basket 10 is pushed and pulled more smoothly, and the user experience is better.

[0041] According to the bowl basket assembly 100 of the embodiment of the utility model, the load applied by the bowl basket 10 can be distributed to the plurality of first rollers 30 more evenly through the balance frame 20, so that the load difference on each first roller 30 is smaller, which is beneficial to improving the smoothness of pushing and pulling the bowl basket 10 and reducing the load on the first roller 30, thereby extending the service life of the bowl basket assembly 100 and making the pushing and pulling of the bowl basket 10 smoother.

[0042] The balancing frame 20 can be installed on the side, bottom, etc. of the bowl basket 10. For example, in some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1 As shown, the bowl basket 10 is provided with a plurality of mounting points 101 arranged along the first direction on the same side along the second direction, wherein the balancing frame 20 is installed at the two mounting points 101 at the two ends in the first direction. The mounting points 101 at the two ends in the push-pull direction of the bowl basket 10 are subjected to the largest load, for example, the mounting points 101 at the two ends in the push-pull direction of the bowl basket 10 are subjected to a greater load than the mounting points 101 in the middle in the push-pull direction of the bowl basket 10. The balancing frame 20 is installed at the mounting points 101 at the two ends to distribute the load of the bowl basket 10 received at the mounting points 101 to the plurality of first rollers 30 more evenly, which can reduce the load received by each roller at the mounting point 101, reduce the deformation of the first roller 30 and the track at the mounting point 101, and make the load difference received by each first roller 30 smaller, which is conducive to further improving the smoothness of pushing and pulling the bowl basket 10.

[0043] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the bowl basket assembly 100 further includes a second roller 40, and the second roller 40 is installed at the mounting point 101 located in the middle in the first direction. The load of the bowl basket 10 is distributed to the first roller 30 and the second roller 40 to reduce the load on each roller (the first roller 30 or the second roller 40), which is conducive to reducing the deformation of the roller and the track and improving the smoothness of pushing and pulling the bowl basket 10. In addition, the load on the mounting point 101 in the middle in the push-pull direction of the bowl basket 10 is relatively small. The bowl basket 10 is directly connected to the second roller 40 to support the bowl basket 10, and the number of the balance frame 20 is reduced, which is conducive to improving the smoothness of pushing and pulling the bowl basket 10 while reducing the manufacturing cost. There can be multiple mounting points 101 located in the middle in the first direction, which is conducive to setting different numbers of second rollers 40 to adapt to the size of the bowl basket 10 along the first direction, and the practicality is good.

[0044] For example, in some specific embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, three mounting points 101 arranged along the front-to-back direction are provided on the left side of the bowl basket 10, wherein the balancing frame 20 is installed at the mounting points 101 at the front and rear ends, and the second roller 40 is installed at the mounting point 101 in the middle; three mounting points 101 arranged along the front-to-back direction are provided on the right side of the bowl basket 10, wherein the balancing frame 20 is installed at the mounting points 101 at the front and rear ends, and the second roller 40 is installed at the mounting point 101 in the middle.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 4As shown, the balancing frame 20 is equipped with two first rollers 30, and the two first rollers 30 are symmetrically installed about the rotation axis of the balancing frame 20. The load on the balancing frame 20 can be evenly distributed to the two first rollers 30, which is conducive to reducing the load on the two first rollers 30 at the balancing frame 20 at the same time, making the bowl basket 10 push and pull smoother, and extending the service life of the two first rollers 30 at the same balancing frame 20.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the balancing frame 20 includes a first plate body 21 and a second plate body 22. In the second direction, the second plate body 22 is at least partially located on a side of the first plate body 21 close to the middle of the bowl basket 10. The first plate body 21 is rotatably connected to the bowl basket 10. The first roller 30 is installed on the second plate body 22, so that the first roller 30 is closer to the middle of the bowl basket 10 in the second direction, which helps to reduce the installation space required for the bowl basket assembly 100.

[0047] In some embodiments, Figure 2-Figure 3 As shown, the balancing frame 20 also includes a connecting plate 23, which connects the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22. The angles between the first plate body 21 and the second plate body 22 and the connecting plate 23 are respectively greater than 90°, which is beneficial to reducing stress concentration at the connecting plate 23, improving the strength of the balancing frame 20, and making it easier for the first plate body 21 to avoid the first roller 30 at the second plate body 22, thereby reducing interference with the rolling of the first roller 30.

[0048] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the shape of the connecting plate 23 near the first roller 30 is arc-shaped, which can adapt to the shape of the first roller 30 to avoid the first roller 30, thereby increasing the size of the first plate body 21 while avoiding the first roller 30, and improving the connection strength of the first plate body 21 at the bowl basket 10.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 3 As shown, the rotatable angle α of the balance frame 20 relative to the bowl basket 10 is ≤20°. Here, α can be understood as the angle between the two extreme positions of the rotation of the balance frame 20 relative to the bowl basket 10. For example, in some specific embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the second plate 22 on the front side of the rotation axis of the balancing frame 20 rotates upward to the first extreme position relative to the bowl basket 10, and the second plate 22 on the front side of the rotation axis of the balancing frame 20 rotates downward to the second extreme position relative to the bowl basket 10, and the angle between the balancing frame 20 at the first extreme position and the balancing frame 20 at the second extreme position is α.

[0050] If α is too large, the bowl basket 10 may be easily bumped during the pushing and pulling process, and the bowl basket 10 may have poor pushing and pulling stability. However, if α is set to ≤ 20°, it is beneficial to balance the pushing and pulling smoothness and stability of the bowl basket 10. For example, α is 8°, 10°, 20°, etc.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the balancing frame 20 and the first roller 30 are connected through the first axial hole 31 and the first rotating shaft 24 passing through the first axial hole 31. The first rotating shaft 24 includes a plurality of first elastic arms 241. The plurality of first elastic arms 241 are arranged at intervals along the rotation circumference, and the free end of the first elastic arm 241 is provided with a first latching protrusion 242 protruding in a direction away from the rotation axis. The first latching protrusion 242 is used to cooperate with the edge of the first axial hole 31 for limiting.

[0052] The first elastic arm 241 can be deformed so as to be inserted into the first axial hole 31, and the first latching protrusion 242 can cooperate with the edge of the first axial hole 31 to limit the position, for example, abutting against the edge of the first axial hole 31, so that after the first rotating shaft 24 is inserted into the first axial hole 31, it is not easy for the balancing frame 20 and the first roller 30 to move relative to each other, which is beneficial to improving the reliability of the rotational connection between the balancing frame 20 and the first roller 30.

[0053] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 51 is provided on one side of the first elastic arm 241 facing the rotation axis of the first rotating shaft 24, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the first elastic arm 241, making the first elastic arm 241 less likely to break and other problems, thereby improving the connection strength between the balance frame 20 and the first roller 30.

[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bowl basket 10 includes a bowl basket body 11 and a connecting member 12, wherein the connecting member 12 is mounted on the bowl basket body 11, and the balancing frame 20 is rotatably mounted on the connecting member 12. The bowl basket body 11 and the balancing frame 20 are connected by the connecting member 12, and the bowl basket body 11 and the connecting member 12 are separate parts, which are easy to disassemble and assemble, facilitate the installation, maintenance or replacement of the bowl basket 10, and effectively reduce the maintenance cost of the bowl basket 10.

[0055] In some embodiments, Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the connecting member 12 and the balancing frame 20 are connected through a second axial hole 25 and a second rotating shaft 121 passing through the second axial hole 25. The second rotating shaft 121 includes a plurality of second elastic arms 122. The plurality of second elastic arms 122 are arranged at intervals along the rotation circumference, and the free end of the second elastic arm 122 is provided with a second latching protrusion 123 protruding in a direction away from the rotation axis. The second latching protrusion 123 is used to cooperate with the edge of the second axial hole 25 for limiting.

[0056] The second elastic arm 122 can be deformed so as to be inserted into the second axial hole 25, and the second latching protrusion 123 can cooperate with the edge of the second axial hole 25 to limit the position, for example, abutting against the edge of the second axial hole 25, so that after the second rotating shaft 121 is inserted into the second axial hole 25, the connecting member 12 and the balancing frame 20 are not easy to move relative to each other, which is beneficial to improving the rotational connection reliability of the connecting member 12 and the balancing frame 20.

[0057] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, a reinforcing rib 51 is provided on the side of the second elastic arm 122 facing the rotation axis of the second rotating shaft 121, which is beneficial to improving the strength of the second elastic arm 122, making the second elastic arm 122 less likely to break and other problems, thereby improving the connection strength between the balance frame 20 and the second roller 40.

[0058] In some embodiments, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the bowl basket body 11 has an insertion rod 111 extending along the second direction and a clamping rod 112 extending along the third direction, one end of the insertion rod 111 is connected to one end of the clamping rod 112, the connecting member 12 includes a clamping groove 124 and a second rotating shaft 121, the clamping rod 112 is clamped into the clamping groove 124, and the insertion rod 111 is inserted into the second rotating shaft 121, the balancing frame 20 is rotatably sleeved on the second rotating shaft 121, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0059] The first direction is the push-pull direction of the bowl basket 10, and the first direction, the second direction and the third direction are perpendicular to each other. Figure 1 As shown, the first direction is the front-to-back direction, the second direction is the left-to-right direction, and the third direction is the up-down direction.

[0060] By means of the snap-fitting of the snap-fitting rod 112 and the snap-fitting groove 124, and the plug-fitting of the plug-in rod 111 and the second rotating shaft 121, the connecting member 12 can be fixedly connected to the bowl basket body 11 with high connection strength, and the balancing frame 20 can be rotatably sleeved on the second rotating shaft 121, which is beneficial to improve the connection strength between the balancing frame 20 and the bowl basket body 11, so that the first roller 30 on the balancing frame 20 has a better bearing effect on the bowl basket body 11, and the bowl basket 10 can be pushed and pulled more smoothly.

[0061] In some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the middle part of the bowl basket body 11 along the front-back direction is installed on the connecting member 12, and the second roller 40 is rotatably mounted on the second rotating shaft 121 of the connecting member 12, so that the number of rollers supporting the bowl basket body 11 is increased, and the connection strength between the second roller 40 and the bowl basket body 11 is higher through the connecting member 12, so that the roller has a better bearing effect on the bowl basket body 11, and the bowl basket 10 is pushed and pulled more smoothly.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, the first limiting portion 26 and the second limiting portion 27 are provided on the side of the balancing frame 20 facing the connecting member 12, and the first limiting portion 26 and the second limiting portion 27 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and the connecting member 12 is located between the first limiting portion 26 and the second limiting portion 27, and the balancing frame 20 is suitable for abutting against the first limiting portion 26 or the second limiting portion 27 when it is rotated to the extreme position relative to the connecting member 12. The first limiting portion 26 and the second limiting portion 27 constrain the balancing frame 20 between the two extreme positions of rotation relative to the connecting member 12, so as to limit the rotatable range of the balancing frame 20 relative to the connecting member 12, so that the rotation range of the balancing frame 20 is not too large to cause the bowl basket 10 to be easily bumped during the push-pull process, which is conducive to improving the stability and smoothness of pushing and pulling the bowl basket 10.

[0063] For example, in some specific embodiments, the first limiting portion 26 and the second limiting portion 27 constrain the rotatable range of the balance frame 20 relative to the connecting member 12 so that the rotatable angle of the balance frame 20 relative to the connecting member 12 is less than or equal to 20°.

[0064] In some specific embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the balancing frame 20 has a mounting groove 28, and the connecting member 12 is at least partially located in the mounting groove 28. The two side walls of the mounting groove 28 are respectively formed as a first limiting portion 26 and a second limiting portion 27.

[0065] The dishwasher according to the embodiment of the utility model includes the bowl basket assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model. Since the bowl basket assembly 100 according to the embodiment of the utility model has the above-mentioned beneficial technical effects, the dishwasher according to the embodiment of the utility model can distribute the load applied by the bowl basket 10 to the plurality of first rollers 30 more evenly through the balance frame 20, so that the load difference on each first roller 30 is small, which is conducive to improving the smoothness of pushing and pulling the bowl basket 10, and is conducive to reducing the load on the first roller 30, so that the service life of the bowl basket assembly 100 is longer, and the bowl basket 10 can be pushed and pulled more smoothly.

[0066] A bowl basket assembly 100 and a dishwasher according to a specific embodiment of the utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
