Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwasher technology, and in particular to an assembly structure for a dish rack adjustment mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] Most bowl baskets on the market are equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which includes a first limiter and a second limiter. The second limiter is connected to the bowl basket, and the first limiter is installed on the inner liner. The second limiter moves up and down on the first limiter to adjust the vertical position of the bowl basket on the inner liner to accommodate tableware of different heights and sizes. To prevent friction between the first and second limiters and thus avoid obstruction of the second limiter's movement, a ball bearing is installed between the first and second limiters. This ensures that there is virtually no friction between the first and second limiters. The ball bearing is installed on the first limiter, but it is easy for it to detach from the first limiter, especially when the second limiter moves up and down on the first limiter. In this case, the ball bearing will roll and easily detach from the first limiter.
[0003] Therefore, further improvements are necessary. Utility Model Content
