Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of dish rack technology, specifically relating to an adjustable dish rack for a sterilizing cabinet. Background Technology

[0002] A sterilizing cabinet is a disinfection device. To better disinfect kitchen tableware, sterilizing cabinets usually have dish racks inside to restrain the bowls and prevent them from sliding around. Since there are many bowls of varying sizes, existing dish racks typically lack adjustability, limiting their ability to accommodate a wider range of bowl sizes and thus their application. While some adjustable dish racks exist, the adjustment process is often complex, resulting in less practical use.

[0003] A patent with publication number CN220557871U discloses an adjustable dish rack, including a support frame and multiple adjustment frames. The support frame includes a crossbeam and support plates at both ends of the crossbeam. The adjustment frames include support beams and elastic members disposed on the support beams. The two ends of the support beams are slidably disposed on the two crossbeams, and the crossbeams have cavities extending along the length of the crossbeams. The ends of the adjustment frames extend into the cavities, and the crossbeams have slots for the adjustment frames to extend into. The elastic members abut against the inner wall of the cavities.

[0004] The above solution allows for adjusting the distance between adjacent support beams by pushing them, thus accommodating bowls of more sizes. However, this method requires operators to manually change the position of each support beam individually, resulting in high repetition, cumbersome operation, and poor practical effectiveness. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the problems existing in the background art, this utility model provides an adjustable dish rack for a sterilizing cabinet.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] An adjustable dish rack for a sterilizing cabinet includes a fixed frame. Two trapezoidal frames are fixedly mounted on the fixed frame, and a threaded rod is horizontally rotatably mounted between the two trapezoidal frames. A motor is also fixedly mounted on the fixed frame, with the motor's output shaft coaxially connected to the threaded rod. The outer surface of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to a second placement frame and also passes through a first placement frame. Several third placement frames are positioned between the second and first placement frames, and the threaded rod passes through all the third placement frames sequentially. The first, second, and third placement frames are all in a limiting sliding fit with the trapezoidal frames, and equidistant transmission modules are provided between the first, second, and third placement frames.

[0008] Furthermore, the equidistant transmission module includes a first link and a second link. The bottom of both the first and second placement frames is rotatably equipped with the first link, and the bottom of each third placement frame is rotatably equipped with the second link. The first link is rotatably connected to the adjacent second link by a rotating shaft, and two adjacent second links are rotatably connected by a transmission shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the top of the first placement rack and all the third placement racks are provided with arc-shaped grooves, and all the arc-shaped grooves are provided with placement grooves on the side facing the second placement rack; the second placement rack and all the third placement racks are fixedly provided with arc-shaped plates on the side facing the first placement rack.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the placement slots is provided with an anti-slip pad.

[0011] This application has the following beneficial effects:

[0012] Simply starting the motor allows for synchronous and equidistant changes in the distance between two adjacent racks, eliminating the need to adjust the distance between each rack individually. This makes operation more convenient, expanding the applicability of the dish rack while reducing the difficulty of adjusting the racks, resulting in better actual performance.

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: An adjustable dish rack for a disinfection cabinet includes a fixed frame 1, which consists of two vertical plates and one horizontal plate, specifically arranged in a U-shape. A sliding groove is formed in the horizontal plate of the fixed frame 1 along its own length. Two trapezoidal frames 2 are fixedly installed on the top of the horizontal plate of the fixed frame 1, and the two trapezoidal frames 2 are respectively located on both sides of the sliding groove, and the two trapezoidal frames 2 are symmetrically arranged.

[0021] The left and right sides of the two trapezoidal frames 2 are fixedly connected to the two vertical plates of the fixed frame 1, respectively. A threaded rod 4 is rotatably installed between the two trapezoidal frames 2 in the horizontal direction, and the two ends of the threaded rod 4 are rotatably connected to the two vertical plates of the fixed frame 1, respectively. A motor 13 is fixedly installed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 1, and the output shaft of the motor 13 is coaxially fixedly connected to one end of the threaded rod 4. The motor 13 can drive the threaded rod 4 to rotate.

[0022] The outer surface of the threaded rod 4 is threadedly connected to the second placement bracket 6 and also passes through the first placement bracket 5. Several third placement brackets 7 are slidably arranged between the first placement bracket 5 and the second placement bracket 6 along the length of the threaded rod 4, with the threaded rod 4 passing through all the third placement brackets 7 in sequence. The first placement bracket 5, the second placement bracket 6, and the third placement brackets 7 are arranged in a straight line on the threaded rod 4, and the bottoms of the first placement bracket 5, the second placement bracket 6, and the third placement brackets 7 are all limited and slidably disposed within a sliding groove. In addition, two trapezoidal brackets 2 support the first placement bracket 5, the second placement bracket 6, and the third placement brackets 7, and the trapezoidal brackets 2 are slidably engaged with the first placement bracket 5, the second placement bracket 6, and the third placement brackets 7.

[0023] An equidistant transmission module is provided between the first placement frame 5, the second placement frame 6, and the third placement frame 7. The equidistant transmission module includes a first connecting rod 10 and a second connecting rod 12. A first connecting rod 10 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of each of the first placement frames 5 and the second placement frame 6, and a second connecting rod 12 is rotatably mounted on the bottom of each of the third placement frames 7. The first connecting rod 10 is rotatably connected to an adjacent second connecting rod 12 via a rotating shaft 11, and two adjacent second connecting rods 12 are rotatably connected via a transmission shaft 14.

[0024] The motor 13 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the second placement frame 6 to slide. This, in turn, drives the first placement frame 5 and several third placement frames 7 to slide synchronously and at equal distances through the rotational engagement between the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 12, as well as the rotational engagement between adjacent second connecting rods 12.

[0025] The top of the first placement rack 5 and all the third placement racks 7 are provided with arc-shaped grooves. All the arc-shaped grooves are provided with placement slots 8 on the side facing the second placement rack 6. Each placement slot 8 is provided with an anti-slip pad (not shown in the figure). The anti-slip pad is used to improve the anti-slip effect of the placement slot 8.

[0026] The second placement rack 6 and all the third placement racks 7 are fixedly provided with arc-shaped plates 9 on the side facing the first placement rack 5. The arc-shaped plates 9 are arranged in the horizontal direction and are used to support and limit the bowl.

[0027] Most bowls in daily life are cone-shaped, with an upper and lower opening, the radius of the upper opening being larger than the radius of the lower opening. When placing the bowl, the operator first stands it upright, placing the rear half of the bowl in the placement slot 8, so that the lower opening of the bowl is supported by the arc-shaped groove at the top of the first or third placement rack 7. After the bowl is placed in the placement slot 8, it will tilt downwards. The operator only needs to place the upper opening of the bowl on the arc-shaped plate 9 to prevent the bowl from tilting, thus completing the limiting of the bowl's position in the adjustable dish rack for the sterilizer, ensuring the stability of the bowl.

[0028] For different bowl models, it is only necessary to ensure that the upper opening of the bowl is supported by the curved plate 9, and the lower opening of the bowl is supported by the curved groove at the top of the first placement rack 5 or the third placement rack 7. Therefore, the bowl can be adapted by adjusting the positions of the first placement rack 5, the second placement rack 6, and the third placement rack 7.

[0029] Working principle: In use, the operator holds the bowl upright and places the rear half of the bowl in the placement slot 8 on the third placement rack 7, so that the lower opening of the bowl is located on the arc-shaped groove at the top of the first placement rack 5 or the third placement rack 7, and the upper opening of the bowl rests on the arc-shaped plate 9, thus supporting the bowl. At this time, the upper opening of the bowl does not contact the second placement rack 6 or the third placement rack 7.

[0030] Next, motor 13 is started. The output shaft of motor 13 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate. The rotation of the threaded rod 4 causes the second placement rack 6 to slide to the right. This, in turn, causes the first placement rack 5 and several third placement racks 7 to slide synchronously to the right via the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 12, achieving equidistant adjustment. This reduces the distance between adjacent placement racks, causing relative sliding between the arc-shaped plate 9 and the bowl. This allows the second placement rack 6 or the third placement rack 7 to abut against the upper opening of the bowl, thereby improving the bowl-limiting effect of the adjustable dish rack for the sterilizer.

[0031] When the bowl needs to be removed, the output shaft of the control motor 13 rotates in the reverse direction. The output shaft of the motor 13 drives the threaded rod 4 to rotate in the reverse direction, and the threaded rod 4 drives the second placement rack 6 to slide to the left. This causes the first placement rack 5 and several third placement racks 7 to slide to the left synchronously through the first connecting rod 10 and the second connecting rod 12, thereby increasing the distance between the two placement racks and making it easier to remove the bowl.

[0032] When other bowl models need to be placed, simply start motor 13 and adjust the positions of the first placement rack 5, second placement rack 6, and third placement rack 7 via threaded rod 4. This ensures that the upper opening of the bowl is supported by the arc-shaped plate 9, and the lower opening is supported by the arc-shaped groove at the top of the first placement rack 5 or the third placement rack 7, thus accommodating more bowl models. It should also be understood that after adjusting the placement rack positions, all bowls placed on the racks will be of the same adjusted model.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
