[0033] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, the present disclosure provides a bowl basket mechanism, including a first bowl basket 1. The first bowl basket 1 is provided with an opening, and tableware is placed into the first bowl basket 1 from the opening. The first bowl basket 1 is divided into four placement areas, which are respectively used for placing spoons, bowls, plates and cups. Since the sizes and shapes of different tableware vary greatly, dividing the first bowl basket 1 into areas makes the space utilization rate of the first bowl basket 1 higher. Different placement areas can specifically limit and fix different tableware, and it is also safer and more convenient to use; on the side of the first bowl basket 1 far away from the opening, there is an installation rack, and a chopstick holder 3 is detachably connected to the installation rack. The chopstick holder 3 is used for placing chopsticks, and the detachable connection method facilitates the cleaning of the chopstick holder 3. Since the chopstick holder 3 is arranged on the side far away from the opening of the first bowl basket 1, it will not affect the taking and placing of the tableware in the first bowl basket 1, and it is more convenient to use; in addition, arranging the chopstick holder 3 on the side far away from the opening of the first bowl basket 1 can avoid the chopstick holder 3 blocking the tableware in the first bowl basket 1, making the cleaning of the tableware in the first bowl basket 1 by the top spray arm more comprehensive and thorough; at the same time, it can also avoid the chopstick holder 3 interfering with the top spray arm when the top spray arm rotates, affecting the normal operation of the top spray arm.

[0034] Please also refer to Figures 5 - 9As shown, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the size of the chopstick rack 3 is smaller than that of the first bowl basket 1 to avoid interference with the use of the second bowl basket 2. The chopstick rack 3 is arranged directly below the first bowl basket 1, which makes the force on the first bowl basket 1 more balanced and avoids deformation or damage after long-term use. The chopstick rack 3 includes a plurality of first support bars 16 arranged horizontally and a plurality of second support bars 17 arranged vertically. The plurality of first support bars 16 and the plurality of second support bars 17 form a hollow structure, which facilitates the cleaning of the chopsticks and the discharge of water flow on the chopstick rack 3. In addition, the setting of the hollow structure makes the chopstick rack 3 lighter, reduces the dragging force on the first bowl basket 1, and also reduces the weight of the entire bowl basket mechanism. The chopstick rack 3 further includes a frame and a pulling member 13. The frame includes a first fixing plate 9, a second fixing plate 10, a third fixing plate 11, and a fourth fixing plate 12.

The first limiting members 14 are used to limit one end of the chopsticks. A plurality of second limiting members are arranged on the first support bar 16 close to the third fixing plate 11. The number and positions of the second limiting members correspond to those of the first limiting members 14 one by one. The second limiting members are used to limit the other end of the chopsticks. The area between each first limiting member 14 and its corresponding second limiting member forms a receiving area. Each chopstick corresponds to a receiving area, and the chopsticks are at least partially located in the receiving area. The setting of the first limiting members 14 and the second limiting members is used to limit and fix the chopsticks, so that the chopsticks are arranged neatly and orderly on the chopstick rack 3, preventing the chopsticks from stacking on each other, thus being more convenient for cleaning. After each chopstick is limited, it also prevents the chopsticks from falling. Preferably, the first support bar 16 is evenly provided with bumps 15, and a limiting groove is formed between two adjacent bumps 15. The first limiting member 14 is a limiting groove. The structure of the second limiting member is similar to that of the first limiting member 14.

[0036] As Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, in order to strengthen the structural strength of the chopstick rack 3, a plurality of first connecting bars 18 parallel to each other are arranged on the first support bar 16. The first connecting bars 18 are parallel to the second support bars 17. A plurality of second connecting bars 19 parallel to each other are arranged on the second support bar 17. The second connecting bars 19 are parallel to the first support bars 16. At this time, the chopstick rack 3 is still a hollow structure.

[0037] Please refer toFigures 2 - 4 As shown in the figure, it should be noted that two card slots 8 are provided at the bottom of the third fixing plate 11, and the card slots 8 are used to connect the mounting rack.
