Detailed Implementation

[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model;

[0031] Reference Figure 1-10 An expandable multi-layer draining tableware rack includes a base plate 1, characterized in that multiple support legs 7 are installed around the bottom of the base plate 1, and multiple draining baskets 2 are placed on top of the base plate 1, with the upper draining basket 2 and the lower draining basket 2 stacked on top of each other by support columns 4.

[0032] The bottom plate of the drain basket 2 has multiple drain holes 22 and a tray hole 23; a chopstick holder 3 is placed inside the drain basket 2.

[0033] In this embodiment, a chopstick holder 3 is placed on one inner wall of the drain basket 2 located below; the bottom of the chopstick holder 3 is also provided with a drain hole 22; the bottom of the chopstick holder 3 is provided with an insert plate, and the bottom plate of the drain basket 2 is provided with a slot that matches the insert plate, so that the chopstick holder 3 is positioned on one side of the drain basket 2 by inserting and fixing.

[0034] In other embodiments, provided the height requirement is met, the chopstick holder 3 can be placed in the drain basket 2 on any layer.

[0035] Bowls and plates can be placed in the drain basket 2. Plates can be placed upright in the tray hole 23, and bowls can be placed upside down in the drain basket 2 to facilitate water to drain out from the drain hole 22 and collect in the base plate 1.

[0036] A drain hole 9 is provided on the bottom wall of the chassis 1, and a guide channel 8 is detachably provided below the chassis 1 at the position corresponding to the drain hole 9. The drained water collects inside the chassis 1 and is discharged from the drain hole 9 into the guide channel 8. The guide channel 8 is in the open state, for example, when... Figure 1-2 , Figure 4 The state shown indicates the open state, where water flows out from the guide channel 8 and drains from the entire cutlery rack. The angle of the guide channel 8 can be rotated horizontally to adjust the angle and range of the water flow. This allows for convenient use according to actual needs.

[0037] Furthermore, the drain hole 9 includes a second boss 91 fixed on the chassis 1. A drain outlet 92 is provided on the chassis 1 near the bottom of the second boss 91. A recess 101 is provided on the top surface of the second boss 91, and a first magnet 10 is placed in the recess 101.

[0038] A first protrusion 81 is fixed on the inner wall of one end of the flow channel 8. The first protrusion 81 is inserted into the interior of the second protrusion 91 from below. A second magnet 11 is placed below the first protrusion 81. The second magnet 11 and the first magnet 10 attract each other. A water-stopping protrusion 82 is fixed at the bottom of the flow channel 8 near the first protrusion 81. The water-stopping protrusion 82 matches the drain outlet 92.

[0039] When the guide groove 8 is rotated horizontally to make it like Figure 6 When the angle shown is in the figure, the guide channel 8 is in the closed state, and the water-stopping boss 82 and the drain outlet 92 are separated.

[0040] When the guide groove 8 is rotated horizontally to make it like Figure 1-2 and Figure 4 When the angle shown is reached, the guide channel 8 is in the open state, and the water-stopping boss 82 and the drain outlet 92 are in the closed state; that is, the water-stopping boss 82 can block the drain outlet 92. The user can adjust the position of the guide channel 8 according to the actual usage needs.

[0041] The magnetic force generated by the mutual attraction between the first magnet 10 and the second magnet 11 ensures the stability of the first protrusion 81 of the guide channel 8 when it is inserted into the second protrusion 91, preventing the guide channel 8 from detaching from the base 1 and the drain hole 9 due to its own weight and the impact of flowing water. However, when it is necessary to clean the base 1, the guide channel 8, and the entire tableware rack, the guide channel 8 can be easily removed from the drain hole 9 and under the base 1 for cleaning. Cleaning helps to ensure the hygiene of the tableware rack and the tableware after placement.

[0042] Furthermore, multiple insertion tubes 6 are fixed around the inner perimeter of the drain basket 2, and the support column 4 is inserted into the insertion tubes 6. A plug 5 is detachably installed at the opening of the insertion tube 6 on the upper side of the drain basket 2. The plug 5 is installed with an interference fit to the opening of the insertion tube 6. The plug 5 is used to seal the opening of the insertion tube 6 at the uppermost drain basket 2.

[0043] A limiting ring 61 is fixed to the inner wall of the insertion tube 6. After the end of the support column 4 is inserted into the insertion tube 6, it contacts the limiting ring 61, and the limiting ring 61 vertically limits the support column 4.

[0044] Based on the cooperation between the support column 4 and the insertion tube 6, the drain basket 2 can be stacked up and down as needed to expand the draining and storage space.

[0045] It should be noted that this embodiment only shows the stacking of two drain baskets 2. In actual use, multiple drain baskets 2 can be provided to expand the storage space according to actual needs and meet the actual needs of different users.

[0046] Furthermore, the drain basket 2 has symmetrical handle holes 21 on both sides. The handle holes 21 facilitate the taking and putting away of the drain basket 2.
