Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dish rack processing and production technology, specifically to an adjustable-space dish rack. Background Technology

[0002] In existing technology, dish racks are placed inside cabinets and include multiple parallel partitions. Dishes are placed between adjacent partitions, keeping them upright to control water flow and reduce space usage. However, the spacing between the partitions in existing dish racks is not adjustable, resulting in poor applicability. If different sizes of dishes are needed, a new dish rack must be purchased, leading to waste. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above technical problems, an adjustable-space dish rack is provided.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an adjustable-spaced dish rack, comprising a partition mounting cavity and sealing plates disposed at both ends of the partition mounting cavity along its length. The partition mounting cavity is elongated, with two parallel sections. Grooves are provided on the opposite surfaces of the two partition mounting cavities, and the bottom wall of the cavity has a vertically upward-extending guide rail. Several partitions are distributed along the length of the guide rail, with adjacent partitions used for positioning bowls and plates; the spacing between adjacent partitions is adjustable. On opposite sides of each partition are provided sections that cooperate with the guide rail. The sliding adjustment block has an arc-shaped front surface and a sliding cavity. The cavity is deformable on both sides and matches the outer wall of the guide rail. When the spacing between the blocks needs to be adjusted, the angle of the adjustment block is turned, and the arc-shaped surface of the sliding adjustment block approaches the bottom surface of the block mounting cavity. The sides of the sliding cavity are widened and disengaged from the guide rail, allowing for adjustment of the spacing between the blocks. The angle of the adjustment block is turned in the opposite direction, and the sides of the sliding cavity clamp and engage with the guide rail, locking the sliding cavity to the guide rail.

[0005] According to this utility model, the partition mounting cavity has an opening for mounting the sliding adjustment block, and slots are formed on both sides of the partition. The slots cooperate with the edges of the opening to realize relative reciprocating sliding.

[0006] According to this utility model, the guide rail further includes a first guide portion with one end fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the partition mounting cavity and a second guide portion with one end fixedly connected to the first guide portion and the other end extending vertically upward, wherein the cross-sectional width of the second guide portion is greater than the cross-sectional width of the first guide portion.

[0007] According to this utility model, the upward extension surfaces of the sliding cavity relative to the inner wall intersect to fix the partition and the partition mounting cavity.

[0008] According to this utility model, the bottom end of the sliding cavity is further provided with a protrusion that is arranged opposite to the partition. When the partition and the partition mounting cavity are fixed relative to each other, the protrusion corresponds to the first guide part at the bottom of the guide rail. The sliding cavity is clamped to the outer wall of the second guide part, thereby fixing the partition and the partition mounting cavity relative to each other. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the partitions, one of the partitions is adjusted. The angle between the partition and the mounting plane becomes smaller, the protrusion moves upward and away from the first guide part at the bottom of the guide rail. The sliding cavity slides with a gap between itself and the second guide part in a larger space. After adjusting the partition to a suitable position, the partition is reversed and locked to the guide rail.

[0009] According to this utility model, the partition mounting cavity further includes a support portion with one end connected to it and the other end extending upward at an incline, and the two support portions form a wide opening.

[0010] According to this utility model, a water receiving tray is detachably provided between the two sealing plates to collect water after washing the dishes.

[0011] According to this utility model, the partition is further made of an elastic material.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: it is easy to adjust the spacing between adjacent partitions, it is highly applicable, and even if bowls and plates of different sizes are replaced, the spacing can be adjusted to continue using it, thus reducing the cost of use.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.

[0027] As shown in Figures 1-5b, this application discloses an adjustable-space dish rack, including parallel partition mounting cavities 100. Along the length of each partition mounting cavity 100, multiple partitions 200 are arranged between the two partition mounting cavities 100. Adjacent partitions 200 are used to position bowls and plates, and the spacing between adjacent partitions 200 can be adjusted according to changes in the size of the bowls and plates. The partitions 200 form an angle with the horizontal plane, facilitating proper support of trays and bowls. The partitions for placing plates are wider and have a smaller tilt angle; the partitions for placing bowls are narrower and have a larger tilt angle. Preferably, the partitions 200 are made of elastic materials such as rubber, plastic, or PVC.

[0028] Specifically, the partition mounting cavity 100 includes a guide portion 110 with a horizontal guide cavity and a support portion 120 connected at one end and extending upward at the other end. The two support portions 120 form a wide opening. The guide cavity has an opening 130 for the partition 200 to be installed in it. After the partition 200 is installed in the guide cavity, it can slide back and forth along the length of the opening edge to realize the adjustment of the spacing between the partitions 200.

[0029] Furthermore, the bottom wall of the guide cavity is provided with an upwardly extending guide rail 300 that cooperates with the partition 200. The guide rail 300 includes a first guide portion 310, one end of which is fixedly connected to the bottom of the guide cavity, and a second guide portion 320, one end of which is fixedly connected to the first guide portion 310, and the other end of which extends vertically upward and has a cross-sectional width greater than that of the first guide portion 310. Optionally, the guide rail 300 may also have a structure including multiple first guide portions 310 and second guide portions 320, with the first guide portions 310 and second guide portions 320 longitudinally alternating to form a structure with grooves and protrusions, the bottom of which is a groove to facilitate engagement with the partition 200.

[0030] The partition 200 has a plate-shaped hollow structure, which facilitates air circulation and reduces production costs. The two opposite sides of the partition 200 have slots 210 that match the edge of the opening 130. The slots 210 slide along the edge of the opening 130 to adjust the position of the partition 200.

[0031] Furthermore, two opposite sides of the partition 200 are fixedly provided with sliding adjustment blocks 400 that slide in cooperation with the partition mounting cavity 100. The sliding adjustment blocks 400 cooperate with the guide rail 300. The sliding adjustment blocks 400 have sliding cavities 410, which are "eight" shaped, that is, the upward extension surfaces of the inner walls of the sliding cavities 410 intersect. The bottom end of the sliding cavities 410 forms oppositely arranged protrusions 411. When the partition 200 and the partition mounting cavity 100 are relatively fixed, the protrusions 411 correspond to the first guide portion 300 at the bottom of the guide rail, and the "eight" shaped sliding... The cavity 410 clamps the second guide portion 320 against the outer wall, thus fixing the partition 200 to the partition mounting cavity 100. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the partitions 200, an external force is applied to move one of the partitions 200 in the positive direction. The angle between the partition 200 and the mounting plane becomes smaller, and the protrusion 411 moves upward and away from the first guide portion 310 at the bottom of the guide rail. The sliding cavity 410 slides with a gap between itself and the second guide portion 320 in a larger space, which facilitates the adjustment of the partition 200. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the partition 200 is moved in the opposite direction to reset. The partitions 200 are adjusted to the appropriate position one by one according to the placement requirements.

[0032] In this embodiment, the front surface of the sliding adjustment block 400 is an arc-shaped surface. This front surface is the surface in the positive direction of the levering stop, so that the levering process is a smooth arc transition, improving the smoothness of the adjustment process.

[0033] The partition mounting cavity 100 is fixedly connected to the two ends of the sealing plate 500 along its length, forming a front and rear closed structure. A water receiving tray 600 is detachably installed between the two sealing plates 500 to collect water after washing dishes. Preferably, the opposing surfaces of the two sealing plates 500 are provided with mounting grooves 510, the length of which is the same as the width of the water receiving tray 600, for fixing the water receiving tray 600.

[0034] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model. The scope of protection of this utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
