Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of storage rack technology, and in particular to a drain rack. Background Technology

[0002] Draining racks are an indispensable tool in modern kitchens, used for drying food. As people's living standards improve, their demands for kitchen hygiene and convenience also increase. Draining racks not only effectively remove moisture from food surfaces but also prevent water from dripping onto kitchen countertops, maintaining cleanliness and hygiene. Currently, common solutions for achieving food drainage include: first, multi-layered racks welded from stainless steel profiles, with multiple drainage holes on each layer to effectively allow water to drip from food; second, plastic drain baskets with a perforated bottom; and third, removable drain trays, allowing users to freely combine and adjust their number and position as needed. While these methods address the drainage issue to some extent, they still have shortcomings in practical use. A common problem with existing draining racks is that water from the upper shelves gradually drips onto the lower shelves, preventing items on the bottom shelf from drying completely. This not only affects the drying effect but may also lead to bacterial growth, compromising food safety. Utility Model Content

[0003] To further improve the drainage effect of the draining rack, this application provides a draining rack.

[0004] The draining rack provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] A drain rack includes four support rods and several shelves, as well as drain pipes. The circumferential portions of the shelves are connected to the support rods. The shelves are inclined, with the middle portion inclined towards both sides in the width direction. Drain holes are provided at the four edges of the shelves. The number of drain pipes corresponds to the number of drain holes. One end of each drain pipe is installed on the lower surface of the shelf corresponding to a drain hole and connected to the drain hole. The other end of the drain pipe faces the adjacent shelf.

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the inclined arrangement of the shelves allows water to flow out quickly through the drain holes, preventing water accumulation on the shelves and improving drainage efficiency. At the same time, the design of the drain pipes effectively guides water flow to adjacent shelves, preventing water from dripping directly onto the lower shelves and ensuring that items on each shelf are evenly drained, thus solving the problem of uneven drainage between upper and lower shelves in existing technologies.

[0007] In one specific implementation scheme, a limiting pin is also included. A limiting ring is installed on the periphery of the shelf. The limiting ring is sleeved on the support rod. A positioning groove is provided on the support rod. A through hole is provided on the limiting ring corresponding to the positioning groove. The limiting pin passes through the limiting ring and is inserted into the positioning groove.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the design of the limiting pins and limiting rings allows the shelves to be fixed at different heights on the support rods, thereby adjusting the spacing between the shelves according to actual needs and improving the flexibility of use. At the same time, this design also ensures that the shelves will not shift during use, enhancing structural stability and guaranteeing drainage.

[0009] In one specific implementation, a plurality of positioning slots are provided, and the plurality of positioning slots are arranged sequentially in the opposite direction along the height of the support rod.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the shelves of the drain rack can be fixed at different heights, allowing users to adjust the distance between the shelves according to actual needs. This better accommodates bowls, plates, and ingredients of different sizes, improving space utilization and ease of use. At the same time, the multi-level positioning groove design ensures the stability and reliability of the shelf fixing, preventing shelf displacement due to vibration or other factors, thus guaranteeing safety and stability during use.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the end of the limiting pin inserted into the limiting groove has an external thread, and the limiting groove has an internal thread. The limiting pin is threadedly connected to the limiting groove by the external thread and the internal thread engaging.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the threaded connection between the limiting pin and the limiting groove improves the height adjustment accuracy and stability of the drain rack, avoids shelf position changes caused by vibration or collision, and ensures the consistency and reliability of the draining effect. At the same time, the threaded connection method makes it easy for users to adjust and fix the shelf position, improving ease of use.

[0013] In one specific implementation scheme, the drain pipe includes a first pipe body, an installation hole is provided on the lower plate of the shelf, an internal thread is provided on the inner sidewall of the installation hole, and an external thread is provided on the outer sidewall of one end of the first pipe body. The first pipe body is installed on the shelf by engaging with the internal thread on the inner sidewall of the installation hole through the external thread. The installation hole and the drain hole are coaxially arranged.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the detachable connection between the first tube and the shelf makes the drain pipe easy to install and maintain, improving the product's ease of use; at the same time, the coaxial arrangement of the mounting hole and the drain hole ensures smooth water flow, effectively preventing water blockage and improving the overall draining efficiency and user experience of the drain rack.

[0015] In one specific implementation scheme, a second tube body is further included, which is sleeved on the first tube body. A groove is formed on the outer wall of the first tube body along the height direction, and a slider is provided on the inner wall of the second tube body, which is slidably connected in the groove.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the second pipe is fitted onto the first pipe. A groove is formed along the height direction on the outer wall of the first pipe, and a slider is provided on the inner wall of the second pipe, slidingly connected within the groove. This design allows the second pipe to be freely adjusted in position on the first pipe, increasing the height adjustability of the drain pipe and thus adapting to the spacing requirements between different shelves, improving the drainage effect. Simultaneously, the cooperation between the slider and the groove ensures that the second pipe will not easily detach during adjustment, improving the stability and reliability of the structure.

[0017] In one specific implementation, a limiting groove is formed circumferentially on the outer wall of the first tube, the limiting groove is connected to a sliding groove, and the slider can be engaged in the sliding groove.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the slider can slide within the groove and engage within the limiting groove, thereby fixing the position of the second tube relative to the first tube and ensuring the stability and reliability of the drain pipe. At the same time, this design facilitates adjustment of the position of the second tube, improving the flexibility and convenience of using the drain rack.

[0019] In one specific implementation scheme, a plurality of limiting grooves are provided, and the plurality of limiting grooves are arranged sequentially along the height direction of the first tube body.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, multiple limiting grooves can be set along the height direction of the first pipe body, thereby realizing the height adjustment of the second pipe body and ensuring that the second pipe body can be fixed in different positions, improving the adaptability and flexibility of the drain pipe. At the same time, the multi-position limiting groove design also increases the stability of the drain pipe, preventing it from falling off due to shaking during use, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the drainage effect.

[0021] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0022] 1. By setting up inclined shelves and drain pipes, water on each shelf can quickly flow from the drain holes into the corresponding drain pipes and be guided to the next shelf, preventing water from the upper layer from dripping directly to the lower layer and ensuring that items on each layer can be fully drained.

[0023] 2. The structural design of the drain pipe allows water to flow smoothly from the top to the designated location, preventing water droplets from splashing randomly, reducing the impact on the kitchen environment, and keeping the kitchen countertop clean;

[0024] 3. The inclined design of the shelves makes the water flow more concentrated and orderly, improving the draining efficiency, while reducing the time water stays on the shelves and reducing the risk of bacterial growth. Attached Figure Description
