Detailed Implementation

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0041] Example 1

[0042] In the prior art, when the filter rack is pulled out of the cabinet to take out or place utensils, the locking mechanism cannot restrict the movement of the filter rack. When taking out or placing utensils, the filter rack may move and cause a safety accident. In order to ensure the safety of taking out and placing utensils, the staff may need to hold the filter rack with one hand and take out or place utensils with the other hand, which will reduce the efficiency of the staff.

[0043] This embodiment 1 provides a utensil cabinet that facilitates the retrieval and placement of utensils, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, it includes:

[0044] Cabinet 1, with a limiting groove 2 inside;

[0045] Multiple placement boards 3 are provided, arranged vertically and horizontally within the cabinet 1. Specifically, the number of placement boards 3 varies from 1 to 5, depending on the available space in the cabinet 1. Each placement board 3 has multiple placement holes. Since the placement boards 3 are installed inside the cabinet 1, when the containers are large, staff often need to adjust their orientation and position to align them with each hole. This improved design allows the placement boards 3 to slide out of the cabinet 1 when removing or placing containers, eliminating the need for staff to reach inside the placement boards 3 and providing greater convenience.

[0046] Furthermore, slide rails 6 are installed on both sides of the cabinet 1 for the placement plate 3 to slide. On the one hand, the slide rails 6 guide and position the sliding of the placement plate 3, and on the other hand, the slide rails 6 provide support for the placement plate 3, ensuring that the placement plate 3 can be stably installed inside the cabinet 1.

[0047] A limiting component, correspondingly configured on each placement plate 3, includes a first limiting part and a second limiting part 5. Both the first limiting part and the second limiting part 5 are used to cooperate with the limiting groove 2 to limit the entry or sliding out of the placement plate 3. In this embodiment, the first limiting part is used to limit the placement plate 3 when it is placed inside the cabinet 1. If the placement plate 3 slides freely when placed inside the cabinet 1, the utensils may swing and collide, posing a certain safety hazard. The first limiting part restricts the movement of the placement plate 3, ensuring the stability of the placement plate 3 inside the cabinet 1.

[0048] Among them, such as Figure 2As shown, the first limiting part includes two symmetrically arranged first limiting groups 4, which cooperate to form a handle. On one hand, the two first limiting groups 4 ensure the stability of the placement plate 3; on the other hand, the handle formed by the two first limiting groups assists the staff in sliding the placement plate 3, providing convenience. Correspondingly, the cabinet 1 has two limiting grooves 2, which respectively cooperate with the two first limiting groups 4.

[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, each of the first limit groups 4 includes a drive block 41, a limit rod 42, and a first spring 43.

[0050] The drive block 41 is located on the placement plate 3; specifically, the drive block 41 is located on the front side of the placement plate 3 and has a sliding cavity.

[0051] The limiting rod 42 is slidably installed in the driving block 41 and is either in contact with or away from the limiting groove 2; the limiting rod 42 is slidably inserted through the sliding cavity. On the one hand, the sliding cavity guides the sliding direction of the limiting rod 42 to ensure that the subsequent limiting rod 42 can be accurately aligned with the limiting groove 2. On the other hand, the driving block 41 provides support for the limiting rod 42.

[0052] In addition, the limiting rod 42 is an L-shaped rod. It can be seen that the limiting rod 42 is set in an L-shape, the limiting rod 42 extends out of the driving block 41 and forms a certain bend, and the extended part is just convenient for the staff to pull it outward.

[0053] The first spring 43 is sleeved on the limiting rod 42. One end of the first spring 43 is fixedly connected to the limiting rod 42, and the other end is connected to the driving block 41. Specifically, a limiting ring is fixedly sleeved on the limiting rod 42, one end of the first spring 43 is fixedly installed to the limiting ring, and the other end is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding cavity.

[0054] The specific working process of the first limiting part is as follows:

[0055] By holding the two limiting rods 42 with one or both hands and pressing them inward, the two limiting rods 42 move towards each other. At this time, the first spring 43 is compressed, and correspondingly, the two limiting rods 42 disengage from the limiting groove 2. At this time, the limiting rods 42 can also be used to pull the placement plate 3 outward so that the placement plate 3 slides out of the cabinet 1 for subsequent retrieval and placement work.

[0056] Conversely, by holding the two limiting rods 42 with one or both hands and pressing them inward, the placement plate 3 is slid into the cabinet 1. When the placement plate 3 can no longer slide inward, the pressure on the two limiting rods 42 is released. At this time, the first spring 43 returns to its original position, thereby generating elastic force on the limiting rods 42, and then the two limiting rods 42 extend into the corresponding limiting grooves 2 for limiting.

[0057] In this embodiment, two second limiting parts 5 are provided, one on the left and one on the right side of the placement plate 3, respectively. The second limiting parts 5 also limit the placement plate 3 when it slides out of the cabinet 1 by a certain distance. This ensures the safety of staff when handling utensils, and allows staff to use both hands to handle utensils, improving efficiency.

[0058] Specifically, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second limiting part 5 includes a wedge block 51, a slide bar 52, and a second spring 53.

[0059] The wedge block 51 is installed on one side of the placement plate 3 and is used to cooperate with the limiting groove 2; specifically, the side of the wedge block 51 close to the limiting groove 2 is inclined, and the wedge block 51 can just be limited by the limiting groove 2.

[0060] Furthermore, the slide rod 52 is connected to the wedge block 51 and slidably connected to the placement plate 3; the placement plate 3 has a placement groove, which is connected to a sliding groove for the slide rod 52 to slide in. By moving the slide rod 52 in the sliding groove, the movement of the wedge block 51 can be guided and positioned, so that the wedge block 51 can smoothly extend or retract into the placement groove.

[0061] The second spring 53 is sleeved on the slide rod 52 and installed between the wedge block 51 and the placement plate 3. Specifically, one end of the second spring 53 is connected to the wedge block 51, and the other end is connected to the placement groove.

[0062] The specific working process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0063] Under normal circumstances, the second spring 53 is in a compressed state. When the placement plate 3 slides out of the cabinet 1 and the wedge block 51 approaches the limiting groove 2, due to the shape of the wedge block 51, the wedge block 51 gradually enters the limiting groove 2 under the action of the second spring 53. After that, the wedge block 51 is stuck in the limiting groove 2, and the staff cannot pull the placement plate 3 to continue sliding out.

[0064] When retracted, the inclined surface of the wedge block 51 abuts against the limiting groove 2. Due to the small contact area between the two, the staff provides a certain pushing force inward to compress the second spring 53. At this time, the slide rod 52 extends into the slide groove, and the wedge block 51 retracts into the placement groove and slides against the cabinet 1.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] Since glassware is usually placed upside down on the shelves inside the cabinet during use to facilitate drainage after washing, it still cannot guarantee that the glassware is completely dry. Based on Embodiment 1, this embodiment also provides a drying mechanism 7 on the back of the cabinet body 1 for heat transfer and drying of the cabinet body 1. The drying mechanism 7 introduces hot air into the cabinet body 1, causing the water in the glassware to evaporate, ultimately ensuring that the inside of the cabinet body 1 is dry.

[0067] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the drying mechanism 7 includes a heating box 71, an inlet fan 72, and an outlet fan 73.

[0068] The heating box 71 is equipped with an electric heating tube 74, and the heating box 71 is provided with an air outlet and an air inlet. The air outlet is connected to the inside of the cabinet 1.

[0069] The air intake fan 72 is installed at the air inlet;

[0070] The air outlet fan 73 is installed at the air outlet.

[0071] The specific working process of this embodiment is as follows: the heating element 74 of the heating box 71 is turned on, and after heating for a period of time, the air inlet fan 72 and the air outlet fan 73 are turned on. Air enters the heating box 71 from the air inlet, and after being heated by the heating element 74, it forms hot air and enters the cabinet 1 through the air outlet fan 73. The hot air circulates in the cabinet 1 for drying.

[0072] Furthermore, to ensure air circulation within the cabinet 1, ventilation openings 8 are provided on both sides of the cabinet 1. Additionally, dust filters 9 are installed on the outside of both the air inlets and the ventilation openings 8 to prevent dust from entering the cabinet 1 and contaminating the containers, ultimately ensuring the cleanliness of the cabinet 1.

[0073] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of this utility model. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model.
