Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a bowl rack for placing tableware, which is suitable for a dishwasher. BACKGROUND

[0002] As an intelligent device for automatically cleaning tableware, the design of the internal components of the dishwasher, such as the bowl rack, directly affects the cleaning efficiency and user experience. The existing bowl rack is usually designed in a modular manner. For example, the patent CN201620101101.2 discloses a "split pull basket for sink-type dishwasher", which realizes the function of classified storage of tableware by combining the chassis with the detachable disc rack, bowl rack, supporting plate, and chopstick cage, and is equipped with special components such as a seasoning dish rack. However, with the diversification of tableware and the upgrading of cleaning needs, the existing design gradually exposes the following limitations:

[0003] First, the multi-working-condition adaptability is insufficient. The existing buckle device is designed mainly for standard-sized tableware, using fixed hooks or positioning rod structures. When facing different specifications of pots (such as deep-mouthed soup pots and flat-bottomed frying pans) or special-shaped utensils, there is a lack of adjustable fixing units, which requires users to repeatedly adjust the placement angle, affecting the cleaning efficiency.

[0004] Second, there is a lack of dynamic fixing device. For the cleaning needs of long-handle tableware (such as spatulas and soup ladles), the existing bowl rack only relies on the support of the shelf plane and does not configure anti-displacement clamps. Under the impact of water flow, such tableware is prone to sliding and falling, resulting in residual cleaning blind spots, and the metal handle may collide with the bowl basket, causing damage.

[0005] Third, the space utilization rate is limited. The traditional bowl rack adopts a flat layered design without adjustable angle components. For utensils that need to be cleaned at an angle (such as grooved cutting boards and graduated measuring cups), the water flow path cannot be optimized, resulting in cleaning dead angles and incomplete drying.

[0006] Fourth, there is a lack of special tool positioning. The existing design does not develop special positioning modules for kitchen tools (such as spatulas and strainers). Such tools have irregular shapes and are covered with more oil stains, so mixed placement can easily cross-contaminate other tableware, and the lack of flow guide design affects the cleaning effect. INVENTION CONTENTS

[0007] The first technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a bowl rack suitable for positioning long-handle tableware.

[0008] The second technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a dishwasher suitable for positioning long-handle tableware.

[0009] The utility model discloses a bowl rack that solves the first technical problem, which comprises a basket, wherein a limiting area for placing tableware is formed on the basket, and a clamping device for clamping the tableware is arranged in the limiting area.

[0010] A base is arranged on the basket.

[0011] The clamping device comprises two clamping heads arranged oppositely and forming a clamping opening therebetween, and the clamping heads are arranged on the base in a transversely movable manner and can clamp the tableware.

[0012] The basket is surrounded by metal wires, and water leakage gaps are formed between the metal wires, and the base is detachably arranged on one of the metal wires. In this way, when the clamping device is not needed, the clamping device can be detached to increase the space for placing tableware.

[0013] The base and the metal wire are preferably arranged as follows: the base has an embedding groove capable of being tightly assembled with the metal wire.

[0014] Further, one side of the base has a connecting block, and the connecting block is formed with an embedding groove, and the base extends downward beyond the bottom of the basket in the state that the clamping device is arranged on the basket. In this way, the clamping device can occupy less internal space of the basket, and more tableware can be placed.

[0015] The driving structure of the clamping head is preferably arranged as follows: the lower end of the clamping head extends downward and has a connecting portion; and the clamping device further comprises

[0016] A rotating member is arranged on the base in a rotatable manner;

[0017] Two connecting rods are arranged on both sides of the driving member, and one end of each connecting rod is movably connected with the rotating member, and the other end of each connecting rod is movably connected with the connecting portion of the corresponding clamping head.

[0018] The action of one clamping head can realize linkage of the other clamping head through the connecting rod and the rotating member, and synchronous clamping or loosening is realized.

[0019] Preferably, the top end of the base has a guide rail, and the bottom of the clamping head has a guide groove matched with the guide rail.

[0020] The guide rail and the guide groove are in interference fit and have damping. The damping effect can make the clamping head stop at a set position.

[0021] The utility model discloses a bowl rack that solves the first technical problem, which comprises a basket, wherein a limiting area for placing tableware is formed on the basket, and a clamping device for clamping the tableware is arranged in the limiting area.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the advantages that through the setting of the clamping device, the clamping of the tableware to be cleaned can be realized during the cleaning process, the shaking of the tableware is ensured, the cleaning effect is improved, and in addition, the clamping device can realize the high placement of the tableware, and ensures that water is not accumulated.
