Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of kitchen dish racks, in particular to a dish rack and a pull-out basket. Background Art

[0002] The detachable dish racks used in existing cabinet pull-out baskets consist of multiple connected dividers, with elongated slots formed between adjacent dividers for placing dishes. To accommodate a variety of dish sizes and control the placement density, the spacing between adjacent dividers and the width of the elongated slots are designed to be relatively small. However, during use, some conventional large plates have a larger diameter and are taller than the width of the elongated slots. This results in the plates not being able to fully sink to the bottom when placed, resulting in a small amount of sinking. Consequently, this dish rack is not suitable for placing conventional large plates in low cabinets. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome at least one defect of the above-mentioned prior art, the present invention provides a dish rack and a pull-out basket, which can make the dishes sink more when placed, solving the problem that the existing dish rack has a small amount of sinking when placing conventional large plates, resulting in limited application scenarios.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the problem is:

[0005] A dish rack includes a plurality of partitions arranged in sequence and connected to each other, wherein a dish placement area is formed between two adjacent partitions, and an arc-shaped slot is formed in the dish placement area and runs through the arc-shaped slot from top to bottom. The arc-shaped slot is used to accommodate the dishes and allow the lower part of the dishes to pass downward, and the arc-shaped slot extends in an arc shape at least on the horizontal plane.

[0006] Furthermore, the partition includes an arc-shaped middle section and two end seats, the two end seats are connected to the two ends of the arc-shaped middle section, the lower parts of the end seats of two adjacent partitions are connected, the upper part of each end seat is protruding upward, the arc-shaped middle sections of two adjacent partitions are arranged at intervals, and the arc-shaped slot is located between the two adjacent arc-shaped middle sections.

[0007] Furthermore, the arc-shaped middle section includes an inner annular surface and an outer annular surface, and the inner annular surface is inclined to adapt to the outer contour of the dish.

[0008] Furthermore, the end seat is in an oblique shape that gradually decreases from bottom to top, and is provided with a plug-in cavity that opens downwards. The upper part of the end seat of the dish rack can be plugged into the plug-in cavity of another dish rack to achieve stacking.

[0009] Furthermore, a connection groove for detachably connecting to the wire body of the pull-out basket is provided at the lower portion of the end seat in at least part of the partition, and the connection groove passes through the side wall of the plug-in cavity.

[0010] Furthermore, at least a portion of the arc-shaped middle section of the partition is provided with a downwardly opening avoidance cavity, the avoidance cavity is connected to the two plug-in cavities, and both the avoidance cavity and the plug-in cavity can be used to accommodate the wire body of the pull-out basket.

[0011] Furthermore, the vertical cross-section of the avoidance cavity gradually expands from top to bottom.

[0012] Furthermore, at least a portion of the opening end edge of the avoidance cavity is provided with a first guide surface.

[0013] Furthermore, at least part of the connecting groove includes a circular hole and a card entrance communicating with the circular hole, and a width of the card entrance is smaller than a diameter of the circular hole.

[0014] Based on the same concept, a pull-out basket is also disclosed, comprising a basket body composed of a plurality of linear bodies and a dish rack as described above, wherein the dish rack is detachably connected to the linear bodies of the basket body.

[0015] In summary, the dish rack and pull-out basket provided by the present invention have the following technical effects:

[0016] By providing an arc-shaped slot extending at least horizontally to accommodate dishes, while maintaining the spacing between adjacent dividers constant or substantially constant (i.e., maintaining the placement density constant or substantially constant), the arc-shaped slot can better fit the contours of the dishes and allow the dishes to sink further when placed. Therefore, when the dish rack is applied to a pull-out basket and then to a cabinet, the space below the pull-out basket can be fully utilized, and the height of the dishes protruding upward can be controlled, thus allowing low cabinets to accommodate conventional large plates. Other beneficial effects will be demonstrated in the specific embodiments. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] For better understanding and implementation, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0030] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating directions or positional relationships, are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0031] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the art of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 6The utility model discloses a dish rack 100, comprising four partitions 1 arranged in sequence and connected to each other, each partition 1 being provided with a connecting groove 13, which is used to be detachably connected to the wire body 201 of the pull-out basket, thereby realizing the installation and removal of the dish rack 100 on the pull-out basket, and a dish placement area 2 is formed between two adjacent partitions 1, and an arc-shaped card groove 3 is formed in the dish placement area 2 running through from top to bottom, and the arc-shaped card groove 3 is used to accommodate the dish 300 and allow the lower part of the dish 300 to pass downward, and the arc-shaped card groove 3 extends in an arc shape at least on the horizontal plane.

[0033] Based on the same concept, the present invention also discloses a pull-out basket, including a basket body 200 composed of several wire bodies 201 and the above-mentioned dish rack 100, the dish rack 100 can be detachably connected to the wire body 201 of the basket body 200, specifically, the dish rack 100 is installed to the pull-out basket through the cooperation of the connecting groove 13 and the wire body 201.

[0034] The distance between two adjacent partitions 1 and the width of the slots are closely related to the placement density of the dishes 300. Compared with the long slots in the prior art, the dish rack 100 of the present invention places the dishes 300 by providing an arc-shaped slot 3 extending in an arc shape at least on the horizontal plane. While keeping the distance between two adjacent partitions 1 unchanged or basically unchanged (that is, while controlling the placement density to be unchanged or basically unchanged), the arc-shaped slot 3 can better fit the contour of the dishes 300 and can make the dishes 300 sink more when placed. Therefore, when the dish rack 100 is applied to a pull-out basket and then to a cabinet, the space under the pull-out basket can be fully utilized and the height of the dishes 300 protruding upward can be controlled. In this way, low cabinets can also meet the requirements of placing conventional large plates, thereby solving the problem that the existing dish rack 100 has a small amount of sinking when placing conventional large plates, resulting in few applicable scenarios.

[0035] In order to better understand the technical effects of the present invention, please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 7 The direction shown is for reference. When comparing with the same placement density of the dishes 300: the height of the dish 300 is defined as H1, and the distance between two adjacent partitions 1 is defined as H2. Since the width of the slot is limited by H2, at this time, the width of the long slot in the prior art and the arc-shaped slot 3 of the present invention are both defined as H3. Since the arc-shaped slot 3 of the present invention is arc-shaped, the accommodating width of the arc-shaped slot 3 of the present invention will reach H4, where H4>H3, so that the dish 300 can sink more when placed.

[0036] It is understandable that the number of the partitions 1 in a single dish rack 100 can also be three, five, six, etc., and the present invention does not limit the number of the partitions 1.

[0037] It is understandable that the connection grooves 13 may be provided on only part of the partitions 1 to achieve a detachable connection of the dish rack 100 to the pull-out basket.

[0038] In other preferred embodiments, according to design requirements, the arc-shaped slot 3 may also be in a certain arc shape on the vertical plane. In this case, the middle of the arc-shaped slot 3 is relatively low, while the two ends of the arc-shaped slot 3 are relatively high.

[0039] Preferably, the four partitions 1 are integrally formed, specifically by injection molding or sheet metal stamping, thereby facilitating the production of the dish rack 100 .

[0040] See Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the separator 1 includes an arc-shaped middle section 11 and two end seats 12. The two end seats 12 are connected to the two ends of the arc-shaped middle section 11. The lower parts of the end seats 12 of the two adjacent separators 1 are connected, and the upper part of each end seat 12 is protruded upward, so that the two adjacent end seats 12 can also form a certain space for accommodating the dish 300. This space is also part of the dish placement area 2. The end seat 12 can be used to support both sides of the dish 300, so that the dish 300 is more stable when placed. The arc-shaped middle sections 11 of the two adjacent separators 1 are arranged at intervals, and the arc-shaped slot 3 is located between the two adjacent arc-shaped middle sections 11. The specific shape of the arc-shaped slot 3 corresponds to the shape of the arc-shaped middle section 11, and the opposite side surfaces of the two adjacent arc-shaped middle sections 11 serve as the two opposite inner side surfaces of the arc-shaped slot 3.

[0041] For details, see Figure 4 The arc-shaped middle section 11 includes an inner annular surface 111 and an outer annular surface 112. The inner annular surface 111 is inclined to fit the outer contour of the dish 300. Figure 4 When referring to the direction shown, the arc-shaped middle section 11 is arched to the right, then the inner annular surface 111 of the arc-shaped middle section 11 is the left side, and the outer annular surface 112 of the arc-shaped middle section 11 is the right side. When the dish 300 is placed between two adjacent partitions 1, the arc-shaped middle section 11 in the partition 1 on the left is sunk into the receiving cavity of the dish 300, and the arc-shaped middle section 11 in the partition 1 on the left is sunk into the receiving cavity of the dish 300 and can selectively form a mutual offset, and the arc-shaped middle section 11 in the partition 1 on the right is supported on the outside of the dish 300, so that the dish 300 can be placed more stably.

[0042] See 2. Figure 4 and Figure 5To achieve stacking of multiple dish racks 100, the end base 12 preferably has an inclined shape that tapers from bottom to top, and is provided with a downwardly opening insertion cavity 121. Alternatively, the circumferential sidewalls of the end base 12 have an inclination similar to that of a mold stripper, and the shape of the insertion cavity 121 can be adapted to the shape of the end base 12. The upper portion of the end base 12 of one dish rack 100 can be plugged into the insertion cavity 121 of another dish rack 100 to achieve stacking. This arrangement allows multiple dish racks 100 to be plugged into and stacked when not in use, making storage convenient and space-saving.

[0043] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 Based on the structure of the above-mentioned partition 1, preferably, the connecting groove 13 is provided at the lower portion of the end seat 12 in the partition 1. Specifically, the connecting groove 13 passes through the side wall of the plug-in cavity 121. In addition, the arc-shaped middle section 11 in the partition 1 is also provided with a downwardly opening avoidance cavity 113, which connects the two avoidance cavities 113. The avoidance cavity 113 and the plug-in cavity 121 can both be used to accommodate the wire body 201 of the pull-out basket, and the wire body 201 can abut against the top wall of the avoidance cavity 113 to provide support. In this way, when the dish rack 100 is installed in the pull-out basket, the wire body 201 in the pull-out basket used to support the dish rack 100 can be hidden in the avoidance cavity 113 and the avoidance cavity 113, preventing water from the dishware 300 from dripping onto the wire body 201.

[0044] In order to facilitate the wire body 201 to enter the avoidance cavity 113 more conveniently when the dish rack 100 is installed on the pull-out basket, at least the following two solutions can be adopted:

[0045] (1) The vertical cross-section of the avoidance cavity 113 gradually expands from top to bottom;

[0046] (2) A first guide surface 114 is provided at the edge of the opening end of the avoidance cavity 113 . The first guide surface 114 may be a curved surface or an inclined surface.

[0047] The above two solutions can be used independently or in combination.

[0048] It should be noted that when the connection groove 13 is only provided in part of the partition 1, the avoidance cavity 113 can be provided only in the partition 1 corresponding to the connection groove 13, and the above-mentioned scheme 1 and / or scheme 2 can be applied in the avoidance cavity 113.

[0049] See Figure 1In order to facilitate the quick disassembly and assembly of the dish rack 100 on the pull-out basket, preferably, in the two partitions 1 at the head and tail ends, the connection groove 13 includes a circular hole 131 and a snap-in entrance 132 connected to the circular hole 131, and the width of the snap-in entrance 132 is smaller than the diameter of the circular hole 131; and in the two partitions 1 located in the middle, the connection groove 13 is roughly in the shape of an inverted V or an inverted U. During installation, under the action of pre-pressure, the wire body 201 passes through the snap-in entrance 132 and enters the circular hole 131, thereby realizing the connection between the dish rack 100 and the wire body 201. When the dish rack 100 needs to be removed, the limiting force of the snap-in entrance 132 needs to be overcome to separate the dish rack 100 from the wire body 201. In this way, the dish rack 100 is not easily accidentally separated from the wire body 201 of the pull-out basket, which can avoid misoperation and has a good fixing effect. In order to facilitate installation, it is also preferred that second guide surfaces 133 are designed on the lower parts of the opposite sides of the card entrance 132. The second guide surfaces 133 can be specifically arc-shaped surfaces or inclined surfaces. The distance between the two second guide surfaces 133 narrows from bottom to top to the same as the width of the card entrance 132. Through such an arrangement, the wire body 201 of the pull-out basket can more easily enter the circular hole 131 through the card entrance 132.

[0050] Of course, the connection grooves 13 of all the separators 1 may also adopt the above-mentioned bayonet structure.

[0051] The technical means disclosed in the present invention are not limited to those disclosed in the above-mentioned embodiments, but also include technical solutions composed of any combination of the above-mentioned technical features. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and such improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the scope of protection of the present invention.
