[0040] Reference Figures 1 to 8One embodiment of the present invention provides a bowl basket height adjustment mechanism, comprising a fixed plate 100, a movable plate 200, and an adjustment member 400. The fixed plate 100 is provided with three first mounting portions 110, which are used to mount the fixed plate 100 to the inner tank of a dishwasher. The movable plate 200 is slidably connected to the fixed plate 100 and can reciprocate vertically relative to the fixed plate 100. The movable plate 200 is provided with multiple second mounting portions 210, which are used to mount the movable plate 200 to the bowl basket. The upper edge of the movable plate 200 is provided with a low-position abutment portion 220, which is located above the fixed plate 100 and can abut against the upper edge of the fixed plate 100. The movable plate 200 is provided with a movable groove on one side of the surface facing the fixed plate 100. The movable groove includes an upper movable groove 230 and a lower movable groove 240 that are connected to each other. The upper movable groove 230 is arranged in the up-down direction and is connected to the lower movable groove 240. The lower movable groove 240 has a first inner wall 241, a second inner wall 242, a third inner wall 243, a fourth inner wall 244 and a fifth inner wall 245. The first inner wall 241 is connected to the left side wall of the upper movable groove 230 and extends downward. The second inner wall 242 is connected to the lower side of the first inner wall 241. The third inner wall 243 is connected to the lower end of the second inner wall 242 and extends upward. The fourth inner wall 244 is connected to the upper end of the third inner wall 243 and extends rightward from top to bottom. The fifth inner wall 245 is connected to the lower end of the fourth inner wall 244 and extends upward to be connected to the right side wall of the upper movable groove 230. A first lower limit portion 246 is provided between the second inner wall 242 and the third inner wall 243, and a second lower limit portion 247 is provided between the fourth inner wall 244 and the fifth inner wall 245. A diverter portion 310 is provided in the lower movable groove 240, a first guide surface 320 extending downward is provided on the left side of the diverter portion 310, a second guide surface 330 extending downward is provided on the right side of the diverter portion 310, the vertical projection of the lower end of the upper movable groove 230 is located on the first guide surface 320, the first guide surface 320 and the first inner wall 241 are spaced apart to form a first guide groove 321, and the second guide surface 330 and the fifth inner wall 245 are spaced apart to form a second guide groove 331.A high-position abutment portion 340 is further provided in the lower movable groove 240. The high-position abutment portion 340 is located below the diverter portion 310 and between the first guide surface 320 and the second guide surface 330. A third guide surface 350 extending downwardly to connect with the lower end of the first guide surface 320 is provided on the left side of the high-position abutment portion 340. A fourth guide surface 360 ​​extending downwardly to connect with the lower end of the second guide surface 330 is provided on the right side of the high-position abutment portion 340. The vertical projection of the first lower limit portion 246 is located at the vertical projection of the third guide surface 350. The vertical projection of the high-position abutting portion 340 is located on the fourth inner wall 244. The adjusting member 400 is provided on the fixed plate 100 and extends into the movable groove. The adjusting member 400 can move from the upper movable groove 230 to the first guide groove 321 and pass through the second inner wall 242, the third inner wall 243, and the third guide surface 350 to abut against the high-position abutting portion 340. The adjusting member 400 can also move from the high-position abutting portion 340 to the fourth inner wall 244 and pass through the second guide groove 331 and the upper movable groove 230 in sequence to abut against the low-position abutting portion 220. When the low-position abutting portion 220 abuts against the upper edge of the fixed plate 100, the adjusting member 400 extends into the upper movable groove 230 and the movable plate 200 is in the low position. When the adjusting member 400 extends to the lower movable groove 240 and abuts against the high-position abutting portion 340, the movable plate 200 is in the high position.

[0041] By adopting the bowl basket height adjustment mechanism of the embodiment of the present invention, when in use, the movable plate 200 is slidably installed on the fixed plate 100, and the adjusting member 400 is installed on the fixed plate 100 and extends into the movable groove of the movable plate 200. The first mounting portion 110 of the fixed plate 100 is installed in the inner tank of the dishwasher, and the second mounting portion 210 of the movable plate 200 is installed in the bowl basket. In this way, the height of the bowl basket can be adjusted by moving the movable plate 200 up and down relative to the fixed plate 100.

[0042] Specifically, refer to Figure 7 When the low-position abutting portion 220 of the movable plate 200 abuts against the upper edge of the fixed plate 100, the adjusting member 400 of the fixed plate 100 extends into the upper movable groove 230. The upper edge of the fixed plate 100 can support the low-position abutting portion 220 of the movable plate 200, thereby fixing the movable plate 200 in a low position. At this time, the bowl basket is also in a low position.

[0043] Reference Figure 6The solid arrow indicates the movement trajectory of the adjusting member 400 in the movable groove when the movable plate 200 moves from the low position to the high position relative to the fixed plate 100. When the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 need to be moved from the low position to the high position, the bowl basket or the movable plate 200 is directly lifted upward relative to the fixed plate 100. Since the vertical projection of the lower end of the upper movable groove 230 is located on the first guide surface 320, the adjusting member 400 on the fixed plate 100 can move downward along the upper movable groove 230 relative to the movable plate 200 until it abuts against the first guide surface 320. At this time, the adjusting member 400 is located in the first guide groove 321. And it can continue to move downward along the first guide surface 320 until it abuts the second inner wall 242, and then the adjusting member 400 can continue to move downward along the second inner wall 242 until it abuts the first lower limit portion 246. At this time, the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 are moved downward relative to the fixed plate 100. Since the vertical projection of the first lower limit portion 246 is located within the vertical projection of the third guide surface 350, the adjusting member 400 can move upward relative to the movable plate 200 until it abuts the third guide surface 350 and moves upward along the third guide surface 350 until it abuts the high-position abutting portion 340. Figure 8 At this time, the adjusting member 400 is stuck between the third guide surface 350 and the fourth guide surface 360, so that the adjusting member 400 can stably support the high-position abutting portion 340, thereby fixing the movable plate 200 in a high position, and the bowl basket is also in a high position.

[0044] Reference Figure 6 The dotted arrow indicates the movement trajectory of the adjusting member 400 in the movable groove when the movable plate 200 moves from a high position to a low position relative to the fixed plate 100. When the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 need to be moved from a high position to a low position, the bowl basket or the movable plate 200 is first lifted upward relative to the fixed plate 100. Since the vertical projection of the high-position abutting portion 340 is located on the fourth inner wall 244, the adjusting member 400 on the fixed plate 100 can move downward relative to the movable plate 200, disengage from the high-position abutting portion 340, and fall onto the fourth inner wall 244. At this time, the adjusting member 400 can move downward along the fourth inner wall 244. When the bowl basket or the movable plate 200 is moved downward relative to the fixed plate 100, the adjusting member 400 can move upward relative to the movable plate 200 along the fifth inner wall 245 into the second guide groove 331. The adjusting member 400 can then move upward along the second guide groove 331 back to the upper movable groove 230 and move upward along the upper movable groove 230 until the movable plate 200 moves downward to the point where the lower abutting portion 220 abuts against the upper edge of the fixed plate 100 and cannot move downward any further. In this way, the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 can be moved from the high position to the low position.

[0045] It can be seen that by adopting the bowl basket height adjustment mechanism of the embodiment of the utility model, when the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 need to be moved from a low position to a high position, it is only necessary to first lift the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 upward relative to the fixed plate 100 until the adjusting member 400 abuts against the first lower limit portion 246, and then lower the bowl basket and the movable plate 200, so that the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 move downward relative to the fixed plate 100 until the high-position abutting portion 340 abuts against the adjusting member 400, and the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 can be fixed in the high position. To move the basket and movable plate 200 from a high position to a low position, the basket and movable plate 200 need only be lifted upward relative to the fixed plate 100, allowing the adjusting member 400 to disengage the high-position abutment portion 340 and abut against the second lower abutment portion. The basket and movable plate 200 are then lowered downward relative to the fixed plate 100 until the low-position abutment portion 220 abuts against the upper edge of the fixed plate 100, securing the basket and movable plate 200 in the low position. The entire adjustment process is simple and convenient, requiring only lifting or lowering the basket without requiring the basket to be fully withdrawn, resulting in highly efficient adjustment. Furthermore, because the basket height adjustment mechanism of the present invention integrates the fixed plate 100, movable plate 200, and adjusting member 400 into a compact, integrated unit, the entire basket height adjustment mechanism only needs to be installed between the basket and the inner container, making installation easy and improving basket installation efficiency.

[0046] It is understandable that, in the process of moving the bowl basket and the movable plate 200 from the low position to the high position, in order to enable the adjusting member 400 to move smoothly from the first lower limit portion 246 to abut against the third guide surface 350, the vertical projection of the upper end of the third inner wall 243 can also be set within the vertical projection of the third guide surface 350.

[0047] It is understood that the first guide surface 320, the second guide surface 330, the third guide surface 350, and the fourth guide surface 360 ​​can all be configured as inclined planes or curved surfaces, and this is not specifically limited in the present invention. Similarly, the first inner wall 241, the second inner wall 242, the third inner wall 243, the fourth inner wall 244, and the fifth inner wall 245 can all be configured as inclined planes or curved surfaces, and this is not specifically limited in the present invention.

[0048] It is understood that when the low-position abutting portion 220 abuts against the upper edge of the fixed plate 100, the adjusting member 400 extends into the upper movable groove 230, and the movable plate 200 is in the low position. Specifically, referring to Figure 5 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the upper end of the upper movable groove 230 has an upper limit portion 231. When the low-position abutting portion 220 abuts against the upper edge of the fixed plate 100, the adjusting member 400 abuts against the upper limit portion 231, thereby preventing the adjusting member 400 from falling out of the movable groove. At the same time, the adjusting member 400 can also abut upward against the upper limit portion 231, so that the fixed plate 100 can better support the movable plate 200, thereby fixing the movable plate 200 in a low position.

[0049] It is understandable that the three first mounting portions 110 provided on the fixing plate 100 are only for Figure 1 As an example, the number of the first mounting portions 110 may be one, two, four, or more, in addition to three, and this utility model does not impose a specific limitation on this. Similarly, the number of the second mounting portions 210 on the movable plate 200 may be one, two, three, or more, and this utility model does not impose a specific limitation on this.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments, the first mounting portion 110 can be specifically configured as a mounting platform for mounting a roller, so that the fixing plate 100 can be mounted to the guide rail of the inner tank through the roller.

[0051] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments, the second mounting portion 210 may be a resilient clamping portion that stably clamps the rods on the basket. At least one second mounting portion 210 is located on the upper edge of the movable panel 200, and at least one second mounting portion 210 is located on the side of the movable panel 200 facing away from the fixed panel 100. The second mounting portion 210 located on the upper edge of the movable panel 200 is a transverse clamping portion having transverse clamping grooves arranged along the left-right direction of the movable panel 200 for clamping the horizontal rods of the basket. The second mounting portion 210 located on the side of the movable panel 200 facing away from the fixed panel 100 is a longitudinal clamping portion having longitudinal clamping grooves arranged along the vertical direction of the movable panel 200 for clamping the vertical rods of the basket. This ensures that the movable panel 200 is securely and stably mounted on the basket, allowing the basket to move stably up and down with the movable panel 200.

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 8In some embodiments, an isolation block 300 is provided in the lower movable groove 240, the diverter portion 310 is provided at the upper end of the isolation block 300, and the first guide surface 320, the second guide surface 330, the third guide surface 350, the fourth guide surface 360 ​​and the high-position abutting portion 340 are all provided on the isolation block 300, that is, the diverter portion 310, the first guide surface 320, the second guide surface 330, the third guide surface 350, the fourth guide surface 360 ​​and the high-position abutting portion 340 form an integrated molding structure, which can be conveniently processed and manufactured.

[0053] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, a mounting groove 120 arranged along the left-right direction is opened on a side surface of the fixed plate 100 facing the movable plate 200, and the adjusting member 400 is movably installed in the mounting groove 120 and extends to the movable groove.

[0054] By adopting the above structure, the adjusting member 400 is movably installed in the mounting groove 120. When the adjusting member 400 moves up and down along the movable groove, the adjusting member 400 can also move left and right along the mounting groove 120, thereby making the movement of the adjusting member 400 more flexible, and further making the relative movement between the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 smoother.

[0055] Specifically, refer to Figure 6 As shown by the solid arrow in the figure, during the process of the movable plate 200 moving from the low position to the high position relative to the fixed plate 100, the adjusting member 400 can move downward along the first guide surface 320 and move leftward along the mounting groove 120, and then the adjusting member 400 moves downward along the second inner wall 242 and moves rightward along the mounting groove 120 until it abuts against the first lower limit portion 246, and finally the adjusting member 400 can move upward along the third guide surface 350 and move rightward along the mounting groove 120 until it abuts against the high-position abutting portion 340. Figure 6 As shown by the dotted arrow in the figure, during the process of the movable plate 200 moving from a high position to a low position relative to the fixed plate 100, the adjusting member 400 can move downward along the fourth inner wall 244 and move to the right along the mounting groove 120, and then the adjusting member 400 can move upward along the fifth inner wall 245 and move to the left along the mounting groove 120 until it returns to the upper movable groove 230.

[0056] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the movable plate 200 is provided with a mounting hole 250 located on one side of the movable groove. The movable plate 200 can be movably inserted into the fixed plate 100 from top to bottom and the mounting hole 250 is aligned with the mounting groove 120. The adjusting member 400 can be embedded in the mounting groove 120 through the mounting hole 250 and moved along the mounting groove 120 to the movable groove.

[0057] By adopting the above structure, when assembling the bowl basket height adjustment mechanism, the movable plate 200 can be first movably inserted into the fixed plate 100 from top to bottom, and the mounting hole 250 can be aligned with the mounting groove 120. Thereby, the adjusting member 400 can be placed into the mounting hole 250 from the side of the movable plate 200 facing away from the fixed plate 100 and embedded in the mounting groove 120. Then, the adjusting member 400 is pushed along the mounting groove 120 to move close to the movable groove and extend into the movable groove. This makes the assembly of the bowl basket height adjustment mechanism simple and convenient, which is conducive to improving the assembly efficiency of the bowl basket height adjustment mechanism.

[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the mounting hole 250 is connected to the movable groove. When the adjusting member 400 is inserted into the movable groove from the mounting hole 250, the adjusting member 400 extends to the side of the mounting hole 250 away from the fixed plate 100; the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 can be relatively moved away from each other under the action of external force, so that the adjusting member 400 can move from the mounting hole 250 to the movable groove along the mounting groove 120.

[0059] By adopting the above structure, when installing the adjusting member 400, external force can be applied to the movable plate 200 and / or the fixed plate 100 so that the movable plate 200 is relatively separated from the fixed plate 100, thereby enabling the adjusting member 400 to be located on the side of the mounting hole 250 close to the fixed plate 100, thereby enabling the adjusting member 400 to be smoothly embedded into the movable groove from the mounting hole 250 along the mounting groove 120.

[0060] It can be understood that the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 can be relatively separated from each other under the action of external force. Specifically, the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 are both made of plastic parts. Therefore, the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 can undergo slight deformation under the action of external force, thereby making the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 relatively separated from each other. When the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 are released, the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 can be elastically reset, thereby confining the adjusting member 400 in the movable groove.

[0061] It can be understood that in order to be able to embed the adjusting member 400 into the movable groove through the mounting hole 250, in addition to setting the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 so that they can be relatively separated under the action of external force, the adjusting member 400 can also be directly set as an elastic member so that the adjusting member 400 has elasticity. Thus, when the adjusting member 400 is embedded into the movable groove through the mounting hole 250, the adjusting member 400 extends to the side of the mounting hole 250 away from the fixed plate 100. At this time, pressure can be applied to the adjusting member 400 to make the adjusting member 400 elastically contract. At this time, the adjusting member 400 can be moved along the mounting groove 120 close to the movable groove. When the adjusting member 400 moves into the movable groove, the adjusting member 400 can be elastically reset and embedded in the movable groove, thereby confining the adjusting member 400 within the movable groove.

[0062] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, a clearance groove 251 is formed on the surface of the movable plate 200 facing the fixed plate 100 , and the clearance groove 251 connects the mounting hole 250 and the movable groove, and the depth of the clearance groove 251 is less than the depth of the movable groove.

[0063] By adopting the above structure, the setting of the giveway groove 251 can facilitate the insertion of the adjusting member 400 from the mounting hole 250 into the movable groove. By setting the depth of the giveway groove 251 to be smaller than the depth of the movable groove, after the adjusting member 400 is inserted into the movable groove, the end edge of the giveway groove 251 can abut against the adjusting member 400 and prevent the adjusting member 400 from moving from the movable member to the mounting hole 250, thereby confining the adjusting member 400 in the movable groove and preventing the adjusting member 400 from falling out of the movable groove.

[0064] Reference Figure 9 In some embodiments, the adjustment member 400 includes a mounting block 410 and a pin 420. The pin 420 is mounted on the mounting block 410. The mounting block 410 is movably mounted in the mounting slot 120. The pin 420 can extend into the movable slot and move along the movable slot.

[0065] By adopting the above structure, the adjusting member 400 is configured as a combination of the mounting block 410 and the pin 420 , which facilitates assembly. Furthermore, the configuration of the mounting block 410 can make the movement of the adjusting member 400 smoother.

[0066] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, at least two groups of plug-in components are provided between the fixed plate 100 and the movable plate 200. The plug-in components include a first plug-in portion and a second plug-in portion 130 that are movably plugged into each other. One of the first plug-in portion and the second plug-in portion 130 is provided on the fixed plate 100, and the other is provided on the movable plate 200. The first plug-in portion is provided with a plug-in slot 260 arranged in the up and down directions. The second plug-in portion 130 is movably plugged into the plug-in slot 260 and can move along the plug-in slot 260.

[0067] By adopting the above structure, the movable plug-in between the fixed plate 100 and the movable plate 200 can be achieved, so that the relative movement between the fixed plate 100 and the movable plate 200 is smoother and more stable.

[0068] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the first plug-in portion is provided on a side surface of the movable plate 200 facing the fixed plate 100, and the second plug-in portion 130 is provided on a side surface of the fixed plate 100 facing the movable plate 200. The plug-in slot 260 provided on the first plug-in portion can be a groove or a through slot, which is not specifically limited in the present invention. When the plug-in slot 260 provided on the first plug-in slot 260 is a through slot, a corresponding latching slot 131 can be provided on the side wall of the through slot to match the second plug-in portion 130. In this way, the second plug-in portion 130 can be movably inserted into the plug-in slot 260, and the side wall of the plug-in slot 260 can be inserted into the latching slot 131 of the second plug-in portion 130. This can make the plug-in between the fixed plate 100 and the movable plate 200 more stable.

[0069] It is understandable that, referring to Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, first plug-in parts are provided on both sides of the fixed plate 100, and the plug-in slots 260 opened by the two first plug-in parts are arranged opposite to each other, and the two side edges of the movable plate 200 are corresponding second plug-in parts 130, that is, the two side edges of the movable plate 200 are correspondingly inserted into the plug-in slots 260 on the left and right sides of the fixed plate 100.

[0070] Reference Figures 1 to 8 In some embodiments, the movable plate 200 is provided with a strip hole 270 arranged in the up-down direction, and the lower edge of the strip hole 270 is provided with an extension portion 271 extending upward to the interior of the strip hole 270, and the extension portion 271 is provided with a slider 272 on the side surface facing the fixed plate 100, and the slider 272 is arranged to be raised relative to the movable plate 200, and the fixed plate 100 is provided with a sliding groove 140 arranged in the up-down direction on the side surface facing the movable plate 200, and the sliding groove 140 extends downward to the lower edge of the fixed plate 100, and the slider 27 2 is provided with a guide portion 273 at the lower end thereof, which is inclined from bottom to top toward the fixed plate 100. When the movable plate 200 is inserted into the fixed plate 100 from top to bottom, the extension portion 271 can be deformed toward the side away from the fixed plate 100, and the guide portion 273 can move downward along the surface of the fixed plate 100 and guide the slider 272 to be inserted into the slide groove 140. When the slider 272 is inserted into the slide groove 140, the movable plate 200 can move upward relative to the fixed plate 100 and make the upper end of the slider 272 abut against the upper end of the slide groove 140.

[0071] When the movable plate 200 is moved upward relative to the fixed plate 100, the upper end of the slider 272 can abut against the upper end of the slide groove 140, thereby preventing the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 from separating from each other.

[0072] It can be understood that in some embodiments, the first lower limit portion 246 and the second lower limit portion 247 in the lower movable groove 240 have the same horizontal height. When the upper end of the slider 272 abuts against the upper end of the slide groove 140, the adjusting member 400 abuts against the first lower limit portion 246 or the second lower limit portion 247, thereby better limiting the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100.

[0073] In some embodiments, a lubricant is provided between the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 , thereby enabling the relative sliding between the movable plate 200 and the fixed plate 100 to be smoother and more fluent.

[0074] It is understandable that the lubricant may be grease, lubricating oil or other lubricating materials, and the present invention does not make any specific limitation on this.

[0075] The present invention further provides a dishwasher comprising an inner container, a dishwashing basket, and a dishwashing basket height adjustment mechanism according to any of the above-described embodiments, wherein a guide rail is provided within the inner container. The dishwashing basket is movably mounted within the inner container. The dishwashing basket height adjustment mechanism is disposed between the dishwashing basket and the inner container. A second mounting portion 210 on a movable plate 200 is mounted to the dishwashing basket, and a first mounting portion 110 on a fixed plate 100 is mounted with a roller movably mounted to the guide rail. The roller is capable of rolling along the guide rail and driving the dishwashing basket in and out of the inner container.

[0076] By adopting the dishwasher of the embodiment of the present invention, the arrangement of the rollers and the guide rails can facilitate pulling the dishwashing basket out of or pushing it into the inner tank, and also facilitate fixing the fixing plate 100 on the inner tank. By adopting the bowl basket height adjustment mechanism of any of the above embodiments, the height of the bowl basket can be conveniently adjusted. When adjusting, it is only necessary to lift or lower the bowl basket. The operation is simple and convenient, the adjustment efficiency is high, it is convenient for users to use, and it is conducive to improving the user experience.

[0077] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
