[0034] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0035] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," and the like in the specification and claims of this application and the accompanying drawings are used to distinguish similar objects, and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or precedence. It should be understood that the terms used in this manner are interchangeable where appropriate, for the purposes of describing the embodiments of the present application herein.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this embodiment provides a dishwasher pot rack, which includes a bowl basket 10 and an auxiliary pot rack 20. The bowl basket 10 is used to place tableware;

[0037] The auxiliary pot rack 20 includes a supporting bracket 21 and a fixing bracket 22. The fixing bracket 22 is connected to the supporting bracket 21 and the bowl basket 10 respectively. The fixing bracket 22 is distributed on any surrounding wall of the bowl basket 10. The supporting bracket 21 can rotate relative to the fixing bracket 22 and form at least a first position and a second position.

[0038] When the support bracket 21 is in the first position, the support bracket 21 is in an extended state, one end of the pot body in the cookware rests on the support bracket 21, and the handle of the cookware rests on the bowl basket 10, so that the cookware is inclined with respect to the horizontal direction; when the support bracket 21 is in the second position, the support bracket 21 is in a stored state.

[0039] The bowl basket 10 can be used to fix and classify tableware. For example, the bowl basket 10 can be designed with multiple partitions, so as to partition and fix tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, and forks.

[0040] The auxiliary pot rack 20 is used to secure pots and pans and position them at an angle, allowing oil and water to naturally slide off during cleaning. The auxiliary pot rack 20 includes a support bracket 21 and a fixing bracket 22. The fixing bracket 22 can be fixedly mounted on any wall surrounding the bowl basket 10. For example, the fixing bracket 22 can be connected to the bowl basket 10 using a snap, screw, or threaded connection.

[0041] The support bracket 21 is rotatably mounted on the fixed bracket 22. Specifically, the support bracket 21 can rotate relative to the fixed bracket 22, and during the rotation process, the support bracket 21 has a first position and a second position. When the dishwasher needs to clean pots and pans, the support bracket 21 is placed in the first position. At this time, the support bracket 21 is in an expanded state, and the support bracket 21 can be used to abut the pot body of the pot, and the handle of the pot rests on the bowl basket 10, thereby fixing the pot and placing it at a certain angle.

[0042] When the dishwasher does not need to clean pots, the support bracket 21 is rotated from the first position to the second position. At this time, the support bracket 21 is switched from the unfolded state to the stored state, and does not occupy the storage space of the bowl basket 10 for tableware.

[0043] The pot rack of the dishwasher in the above embodiment includes a bowl basket 10 and an auxiliary pot rack 20. The auxiliary pot rack 20 includes a supporting bracket 21 and a fixing bracket 22. The supporting bracket 21 is mounted on the enclosure wall of the bowl basket 10 through the fixing bracket 22. The supporting bracket 21 can rotate relative to the fixing bracket 22. The supporting bracket 21 has a first position and a second position during the rotation process. When the supporting bracket 21 is in the first position, the supporting bracket 21 can be used to abut the pot body of the pot, and the handle of the pot abuts against the bowl basket 10, thereby fixing the pot and placing the pot at a certain tilt angle; when the supporting bracket 21 is in the second position, the supporting bracket 21 is in a storage state relative to the bowl basket 10, and does not occupy the storage space of the tableware in the bowl basket 10. The pot rack of the present application, through the mutual cooperation of the supporting bracket 21, the fixing bracket 22 and the bowl basket 10, can make it possible to deploy or store the supporting bracket 21 according to whether the pot needs to be washed, thereby improving the utilization rate of the tableware washing space. In addition, there is no need to modify the original design of the bowl basket 10.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the fixed bracket 22 includes a bottom plate 221 and a side plate 222 connected to the bottom plate 221, a corner groove 201 is opened on the side plate 222, the supporting bracket 21 includes a supporting portion 211 and a limiting portion 212 connected to the supporting portion 211, the limiting portion 212 is slidably arranged in the corner groove 201, and the width of the groove body in two different directions in the corner groove 201 is greater than the length of the limiting portion 212, so as to limit the supporting portion 211 to maintain an expanded state or a retracted state.

[0045] The above embodiment further defines that the limiting portion 212 of the supporting bracket 21 is slidably set in the corner groove 201 of the fixed bracket 22, and the limiting portion 212 slides in the corner groove 201 to enable the supporting portion 211 to rotate relative to the base plate 221. The width of the groove body in two different directions in the corner groove 201 is smaller than the length of the limiting portion 212, so that the limiting portion 212 cannot rotate relative to the groove body when it falls into any groove body, so that the supporting portion 211 can maintain an expanded state or a retracted state.

[0046] The bottom plate 221 may be a block-shaped shell structure, and a structure for mounting and connecting the bowl basket 10 is provided on the bottom plate 221. In addition, the side plate 222 may also be a block-shaped shell structure, and a corner groove 201 for supporting the sliding of the bracket 21 is provided on the side plate 222;

[0047] The support bracket 21 may include a support portion 211 and a limiting portion 212. The limiting portion 212 can slide within the corner groove 201. Specifically, the corner groove 201 has two groove bodies that are connected in different directions. For example, the angle between the two groove bodies is 90 degrees. The limiting portion 212 slides from one groove body to the other groove body, and the angle of rotation of the support portion 211 is 90 degrees. It should be noted that the limiting portion 212 has a certain width, and the length of the limiting portion 212 is greater than the width of the corner groove 201, so that the limiting portion 212 cannot rotate relative to the groove body when it falls into any of the groove bodies, so that the support portion 211 can maintain an expanded state or a stored state. In addition, when the support portion 211 is in the expanded state, the support portion 211 maintains a certain height with the bottom of the bowl basket 10, so that the pots and pans are placed at an angle.

[0048] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the limiting portion 212 is U-shaped.

[0049] In the above embodiment, the limiting portion 212 is further limited to be formed into a U shape. Based on the cooperation between the limiting portion 212 and the corner groove 201, the support portion 211 is converted between the expanded state and the stored state, and the realized structural design is simple and highly reliable.

[0050] The limiting portion 212 may be U-shaped. Due to the U-shaped shape of the limiting portion 212, when the limiting portion 212 slides to the corner of the corner groove 201, the empty portion in the middle of the limiting portion 212 sinks into the inner corner of the corner groove 201, ensuring that the limiting portion 212 slides smoothly from one groove body to the other.

[0051] like Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the corner groove 201 is a right-angle groove, and the two groove body directions of the right-angle groove are respectively perpendicular and parallel to the horizontal direction. When the support bracket 21 is in the first position, the support part 211 is parallel to the horizontal direction; when the support bracket 21 is in the second position, the support part 211 is perpendicular to the horizontal direction.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the corner groove 201 is further defined as a right-angle groove, and the support portion 211 is switched between the expanded state and the stored state by sliding the limiting portion 212 in two groove bodies that are perpendicular to each other.

[0053] Among them, the corner groove 201 can be a right-angle groove. Specifically, the cross-section of the right-angle groove is L-shaped. The two groove bodies in the corner groove 201, the length direction of one groove body is perpendicular to the horizontal direction, and the length direction of the other groove body is parallel to the horizontal direction. That is to say, when the limiting part 212 falls in the groove body perpendicular to the horizontal direction, the support part 211 remains in a retracted state perpendicular to the horizontal direction. When the limiting part 212 falls in the groove body parallel to the horizontal direction, the support part 211 remains in an expanded state parallel to the horizontal direction.

[0054] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 、 Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above-mentioned embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the number of side panels 222 is two, the two side panels 222 are symmetrically distributed on the bottom plate 221, the number of support brackets 21 is consistent with the number of side panels 222, and the two limiting portions 212 are slidably arranged in the corresponding corner grooves 201.

[0055] The above embodiment further defines that there are two side panels 222 symmetrically distributed on the bottom plate 221. Correspondingly, the two corner grooves 201 are also symmetrical. The limiting portions 212 in the two supporting brackets 21 are slidably arranged in the corresponding corner grooves 201, so that the two supporting portions 211 provide at least two points of support for the cookware when in the unfolded state, thereby ensuring that the cookware is not prone to shaking on the shelf and improving stability.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: the two supporting brackets 21 are connected to each other.

[0057] The two support brackets 21 can be interconnected. Specifically, the ends of the two support portions 211 facing away from the stop portion 212 are connected together. The connected support portions 211 form a "Π" shape, increasing the contact area between the auxiliary pot rack 20 and the pot, thereby improving the stability of the pot on the auxiliary pot rack 20. Furthermore, since the two support brackets 21 are interconnected and inserted into the two symmetrically distributed corner grooves 201, the support brackets 21 are less likely to detach from the fixed bracket 22, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the support brackets 21 and the fixed bracket 22.

[0058] In addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the number of the auxiliary pot racks 20 is not less than one, and the auxiliary pot racks 20 are distributed at intervals on the enclosure wall of the bowl basket 10 .

[0059] In the above embodiment, it is further limited that the number of the auxiliary pot racks 20 is not less than one. By arranging a plurality of auxiliary pot racks 20 on the bowl basket 10, it is possible to clean a plurality of pots at the same time.

[0060] The number of auxiliary pot racks 20 may be at least one. For example, there are two auxiliary pot racks 20, spaced apart on the enclosure wall of the bowl basket 10. It should be noted that in some examples, the number of auxiliary pot racks 20 may be one, three, or more, but the number should take into account the capacity of multiple pots in the dishwasher.

[0061] In addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: the fixing bracket 22 and the bowl basket 10 are detachably connected.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the fixed bracket 22 and the bowl basket 10 are further defined as being detachable, so that the user can adaptively adjust the position of the auxiliary pot rack 20 according to the actual placement of the tableware in the bowl basket 10, thereby improving the flexibility of the auxiliary pot rack 20.

[0063] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiment, this embodiment further defines that: a snap-fit structure 223 is provided on the fixing bracket 22 , and the snap-fit structure 223 is snap-fitted and connected with the vertical rod or the horizontal rod of the bowl basket 10 .

[0064] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in addition to the features of the above embodiments, this embodiment further defines that: a limiting groove 202 is provided on the fixing bracket 22 , and the vertical rod or the horizontal rod of the bowl basket 10 is inserted into the limiting groove 202 .

[0065] This embodiment also provides a dishwasher, which includes the above-mentioned dishwasher pot rack.

[0066] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0067] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present application. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art could make various modifications and improvements without departing from the spirit of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model patent shall be determined by the appended claims.
