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.
