[0040] Please refer to the attached drawings of the specification Figures 1 - 6 The present utility model provides a storage rack for a dishwasher, and its structure includes two storage rack bodies 1 distributed parallel to each other up and down. These two storage rack bodies 1 are connected at four corner ends by four connectors 2, and when there are too many small tableware such as chopsticks, the two storage rack bodies 1 can be separated to perform placement operations on both the upper and lower storage rack bodies 1, thereby increasing the placement quantity of spoons and chopsticks. Each connector 2 is composed of a guiding column 21 and an anti-detachment cap 22. Among them, the anti-detachment cap 22 is installed at the bottom end of the guiding column 21 to prevent the lower storage rack body 1 from detaching after being separated from the upper storage rack body 1. The guiding column 21 is installed at the bottom corner end position of the upper storage rack body 1 and is integrally slidably inserted through the corner end of the lower storage rack body 1. This design allows relative sliding between the upper and lower storage rack bodies 1, facilitating the expansion and folding of the storage rack.

[0041] Each storage rack body 1 includes an outer frame 11 of an outer side main structure, and the outer frame 11 provides the basic support structure of the storage rack. Lower magnetic sheets 17 are provided on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the bottom surface of the upper outer frame 11, while upper magnetic sheets 16 are provided on the front, rear, left, and right sides of the top surface of the lower outer frame 11. When the upper storage rack body 1 and the lower storage rack body 1 are closed together, the lower magnetic sheets 17 will be magnetically attracted to the upper magnetic sheets 16. This magnetic connection method not only simplifies the assembly process of the storage rack but also ensures the tight combination between the two storage rack bodies 1, and can adapt to the operation when there are fewer chopsticks and spoons during combination.

[0042] The storage rack body 1 further includes a plurality of longitudinal support rods 13 evenly distributed in the left half part inside the outer frame 11. These longitudinal support rods 13 provide additional support and enhance the structural strength of the storage rack. Two chopstick placement racks 12 slidably installed on a plurality of longitudinal support rods 13 on the left side allow users to adjust the distance between the front and rear chopstick placement racks 12 according to the quantity and length of the chopsticks, improving the flexibility and practicality of the storage rack. In addition, a storage net 14 is provided in the right half part inside the outer frame 11, and the storage net 14 can be used to place various small tableware or kitchen supplies, increasing the storage space of the storage rack.

[0043] The specific structure of the chopstick rack 12 includes an end support platform 121 horizontally lapped above a number of longitudinal support rods 13, an end baffle 122 distributed at the end of the end support platform 121 away from the center, and a number of sliding sleeves 123 horizontally and equidistantly installed at the bottom of the end support platform 121. These sliding sleeves 123 are correspondingly and slidably sleeved on a number of longitudinal support rods 13, so that the chopstick rack 12 can slide freely on the longitudinal support rods 13, realizing the adjustment of the distance between the front and rear chopstick racks 12, and further adapting to the placement operation of chopsticks of different lengths. The design of the end baffle 122 prevents the chopsticks from slipping during the cleaning process.

[0044] Perforations 15 are provided at the four corner ends of the outer frame 11 inside the lower storage rack body 1, and the four guide posts 21 are correspondingly and slidably inserted into the four perforations 15. This design ensures the accurate alignment of the guide posts 21 with the lower storage rack body 1 and also facilitates the sliding of the guide posts 21. The two chopstick racks 12 are symmetrically distributed front and back. This layout makes the end baffles 122 on their top surfaces located at the far ends, thus ensuring that both the front and rear ends of the chopsticks can be placed on the end support platform 121 and have end limits.

[0045] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0046] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting.
