Detailed Implementation
[0022] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0023] A folding drain rack includes a water collection box 1, a drain rack plate 2, and a drain rod 3. The drain rack plate 2 is swingably installed inside the water collection box 1. The water collection box 1 and the drain rack plate 2 are folded by swinging relative to each other. The drain rack plate 2 is provided with multiple mounting slots 2-1. The drain rod 3 is swingably installed in the mounting slots 2-1. The drain rod 3 is folded onto the drain rack plate 2 by swinging relative to the mounting slots 2-1. By folding the drain rod 3 into the drain rack plate 2, the space occupied by the drain rod 3 is reduced. By swinging relative to the water collection box 1, the water collection box 1 and the drain rack plate 2 are folded, thereby reducing the space occupied by the water collection box 1 and the space required for storing the drain rack, making it easier to store the drain rack.
[0024] When folding the drain rack, first swing the drain rod 3 into the mounting slot 2-1, and then fold the drain rack plate 2 and the water collection box 1. When unfolding the drain rack, first unfold the drain rack plate 2 and the water collection box 1, and then unfold the drain rod 3 on the drain rack plate 2 as needed.
[0025] The water collection box 1 includes three side walls. The drain rack 2 is swayably connected to two of the side walls via a pivot. The three side walls form an opening 1-3 on one side of the water collection box 1. When the drain rack 2 and the water collection box 1 are folded, the drain rack 2 swings into the opening 1-3, thereby allowing the water collection box 1 and the drain rack 2 to overlap, thus reducing the volume of the drain rack in its folded state.
[0026] A baffle 1-1 is provided inside the water collection box 1. The baffle 1-1 and the opening 1-3 are respectively arranged on the two end faces of the water collection box 1. When the drain rack 2 and the water collection box 1 are unfolded, the drain rack 2 abuts against the baffle 1-1. To improve the stability of the drain rack 2 in the unfolded state, the drain rack 2 is inclined relative to the vertical plane when it abuts against the baffle 1-1. Preferably, the angle between the drain rack 2 and the vertical plane is 2°-5°. The drain rack 2 is inclined towards the baffle 1-1, so that in the unfolded state, the drain rack 2 will have a certain component force towards the baffle 1-1 due to its own weight, thereby improving the stability of the drain rack 2 in the unfolded state.
[0027] To further improve the stability of the drain rack 2 in the unfolded state, a limiting protrusion 1-2 is provided on the inner side of the side wall of the water collection box 1. When the drain rack 2 abuts against the baffle 1-1, the drain rack 2 is located between the limiting protrusion 1-2 and the baffle 1-1, further limiting the drain rack 2 in the unfolded state.
[0028] Because the drain rack 2 is tilted relative to the vertical plane when unfolded, a support member 4 is telescopically installed on one side of the water collection box 1 to ensure the stability of the drain rack. The support member 4 is used to increase the bottom area of the water collection box 1, ensuring that the center of gravity of the drain rack 2 falls within the area enclosed by the support member 4 and the water collection box 1, preventing the drain rack from tipping over. The support member 4 includes a support rod 4-1 and a support pad 4-2. A telescopic hole 1-6 is provided on the side wall of the water collection box 1, and the support rod 4-1 is telescopically installed in the telescopic hole 1-6. By extending the support rod 4-1 out of the water collection box 1, the area enclosed by the support member 4 and the water collection box 1 is increased. The support pad 4-2 is fixed to one end of the support rod 4-1. The bottom surface of the support pad 4-2 is on the same plane as the bottom surface of the water collection box 1, so that the bottom surface of the support member 4 and the bottom surface of the water collection box 1 are on the same plane, making it easier to place the drain rack on a flat surface. It should be noted that the expansion holes 1-6 and the chamber of the water collection box 1 used for collecting liquid are misaligned to prevent liquid from flowing out of the expansion holes 1-6.
[0029] To prevent the liquid collected in the water collection box 1 from overflowing from the opening 1-3, the bottom of the water collection box 1 is an inclined surface, and the height of the bottom of the water collection box 1 decreases from the opening 1-3 side towards the baffle 1-1 side. Under the action of gravity, the liquid flows to the side away from the opening 1-3, thereby preventing the liquid from overflowing from the water collection box 1.
[0030] To facilitate the discharge of collected liquid to the outside of the water collection box 1, a water collection trough 1-4 and a drain pipe 1-5 are provided inside the water collection box 1. The water collection trough 1-4 is located below the baffle 1-1, that is, the water collection trough 1-4 is arranged at the lowest position of the bottom of the water collection box 1. The drain pipe 1-5 is connected to the water collection trough 1-4 so that the liquid in the water collection box 1 can be discharged through the drain pipe 1-5.
[0031] The mounting groove 2-1 includes a storage groove 2-2 and a limiting groove 2-3 that are interconnected. The limiting groove 2-3 is inclined relative to the storage groove 2-2. The drain rod 3 is swayably mounted at the connection between the storage groove 2-2 and the limiting groove 2-3 via a pivot. When the drain rod 3 is extended, its bottom abuts against the limiting groove 2-3. When the drain rod 3 is folded, it is stored in the cavity formed by the storage groove 2-2 and the limiting groove 2-3. To stably store the drain rod 3 in the mounting groove 2-1, a limiting head 2-4 is provided on the side wall of the storage groove 2-2. When the drain rod 3 is stored in the mounting groove 2-1, the limiting head 2-4 abuts against the side wall of the drain rod 3, and the friction between the limiting head 2-4 and the drain rod 3 limits the drain rod 3 within the mounting groove 2-1.
