[0035] This utility model proposes a multi-type tableware centralized cleaning and limiting combination frame 100, which is mainly used in commercial dishwashers of food and beverage utensil centralized cleaning and disinfection enterprises.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 In one embodiment of this utility model, the multi-category tableware centralized washing and limiting combination frame 100 includes a frame body 10, a bowl placement area 20, a plate placement area 30, a cup placement area 40, a chopsticks placement area 50, and a spoon placement area 60. The frame body 10 forms a storage space inside. The bowl placement area 20 is located at the bottom of the frame body 10 and is set close to the side wall of the frame body 10 for placing bowls. The plate placement area 30 is set close to the opposite side wall of the side wall where the bowl placement area 20 is located for placing plates. The cup placement area 40 is located between the plate placement area 30 and the bowl placement area 20 for placing cups. The chopsticks placement area 50 is set on the side wall where the plate placement area 30 is located, and partly extends beyond the plate placement area 30 to connect with the cup placement area 40 for placing chopsticks. The spoon placement area 60 is located between the chopsticks placement area 50 and the bowl placement area 20 for placing spoons.

[0037] In this embodiment, the frame body 10 can be made of high-strength plastic material and molded by injection molding. The dimensions of the frame body 10 are designed according to the internal space dimensions of common dishwashers to ensure that the dish rack can fit most dishwashers. The interior of the frame body 10 forms a storage space to accommodate various tableware placement areas and tableware. The side walls of the frame body 10 are hollowed out and have pre-reserved grip openings for easy handling.

[0038] In one embodiment of this utility model, the bowl-holding area 20 includes a connecting rod 21 and a plurality of support bars 22. The two ends of the connecting rod 21 are respectively connected to the opposite side walls of the frame body 10 and are spaced apart from each other on the adjacent side walls to which it is connected. One end of the support bar 22 is connected to the side wall of the frame body 10 and the other end is connected to the connecting rod 21. Each support bar 22 is spaced at equal intervals, and a space for placing bowls is formed between two adjacent support bars 22.

[0039] In this embodiment, the support strip 22 is in a straight line with the side wall of the frame body 10 and the part connected to the connecting rod 21, while the middle part is arc-shaped. This arrangement can effectively support the bottom of the bowl, keeping the bowl stable when placed. At the same time, the support strips 22 are evenly spaced, which can ensure that there is a gap between the bowls when the bowls are placed in the space formed between the support strips 22. This not only avoids the bowls from overlapping and improving the cleaning effect, but also avoids the bowls from colliding directly with each other during transportation.

[0040] In one embodiment of the present invention, the dish placement area 30 includes an arc-shaped base 31 and a plurality of arc-shaped support bars 32. The arc-shaped base 31 is connected to the side wall of the frame body 10. The plurality of arc-shaped support bars 32 are installed in the arc-shaped base 31. A straight rod 11 extends from the bottom of the frame body 10 and abuts against the bottom of the arc-shaped support bars 32.

[0041] In this embodiment, each arc-shaped support bar 32 is arranged at equal intervals, and a space for placing a disc is formed between two adjacent arc-shaped support bars 32; each arc-shaped support bar 32 has a first baffle 33 and a second baffle 34, and the first baffle 33 and the second baffle 34 are arranged at intervals.

[0042] Understandably, the design of the arc-shaped base 31 and the arc-shaped support strip 32 is adapted to the arc-shaped contour of the dish, which can better support and fix the dish, preventing the dish from shaking or shifting during dishwasher operation. At the same time, the first baffle 33 and the second baffle 34 provided on the arc-shaped support strip 32 can also limit the position of the dish, preventing the dish from sticking together and thus affecting the cleaning effect.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the cup placement area 40 includes a plurality of support members 41. Each support member 41 includes a connecting base 42 and a connecting boss 43. The plurality of connecting bases 42 are connected together, and the connecting boss 43 is located at the center of the connecting base 42 and connected thereto, so that there is sufficient space between each connecting boss 43.

[0044] In this embodiment, the connecting base 42 is hexagonal, but not limited to this shape; it can also be other shapes. A bent rod extends from each corner of the connecting base 42, and all the bent rods are connected to form the connecting boss 43. When placing the cup, it is placed upside down on the connecting boss 43. This structural design can stably support the cup, keeping it upright when placed and preventing it from tipping over. At the same time, the space between adjacent connecting bosses can accommodate cups of different diameters, meeting diverse usage needs.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, the chopsticks placement area 50 includes a guardrail 51, which extends upward from the bottom of the frame body 10, and a limiting strip 52 is provided at the bottom of the guardrail 51.

[0046] In this embodiment, the limiting strip 52 and the guardrail form a semi-cylindrical receiving space. When chopsticks are placed horizontally into the guardrail 51, the limiting strip 52 holds the chopsticks against the bottom of the guardrail 51 so that they do not fall off. The guardrail 51 extends upward so that it can hold more chopsticks.

[0047] In one embodiment of the present invention, the spoon-holding area 60 includes a support 61 and a plurality of sleeves 62. The support 61 extends upward from the bottom of the frame body 10, and the plurality of sleeves 62 are disposed on the top of the support 61. The sleeves 62 are hollow and are used to hold soup spoons.

[0048] In this embodiment, the height of the bracket 61 is higher than the height of the guardrail 51 to ensure that when the spoon is placed into the sleeve 62, the handle of the spoon will not extend beyond the bottom of the frame body 10. If the height of the bracket 61 is set too low, the handle of the spoon will extend beyond the bottom of the frame body 10, and may easily come into contact with the outside during transportation or cleaning, resulting in breakage.

[0049] The inner wall of the sleeve 62 fits snugly against the surface of the spoon. When manually inserting the spoon, it must be placed in the same direction to ensure that each spoon is positioned at a consistent angle, preventing improper placement and thus ensuring proper cleaning. It should be noted that the rounded corners at the top of the sleeve 62 reduce impact with the spoon and facilitate placement.

[0050] In one embodiment of this utility model, the multi-category tableware centralized cleaning and limiting combination frame further includes a cover plate 70, which is installed on the top of the frame body 10 and is used to limit the tableware in the bowl area 20, the plate area 30, the cup area 40, the chopsticks area 50 and the spoon area 60.

[0051] In this embodiment, the cover plate 70 is hollowed out. This structural design allows water to pass smoothly through the cover plate 70 and enter the interior of the frame body 10, thereby achieving effective cleaning of the tableware inside the frame body 10. The presence of the cover plate 70 does not obstruct water flow, ensuring the cleaning effect. The cover plate 70 has a slot 71 corresponding to the top edge of the frame body 10, and the top edge of the frame body 10 can be stably inserted into the slot 71 to complete the installation of the cover plate 70.

[0052] The cover plate 70 is provided with a first limiting frame 72, a second limiting frame 73, a third limiting frame 74 and a fourth limiting frame 77. The first limiting frame 72 corresponds to the bowl placement area 20, and the shape and structure of the first limiting frame 72 are consistent with the shape and structure of the bowl placement area 20. When the cover plate 70 is closed, the bowl placement area 20 supports and limits the bottom of the bowl, and the first limiting frame 72 limits the top of the bowl. The simultaneous upper and lower limiting greatly improves the stability of the bowl within the frame body 10 and prevents the bowl from tilting or tipping over during washing.

[0053] Similarly, the second limiting frame 73 corresponds to the dish placement area 30. The shape and structure of the second limiting frame 73 are consistent with the shape and structure of the dish placement area 30. When the cover plate 70 is closed, the dish placement area 30 supports and limits the bottom of the dish, and the second limiting frame 73 limits the top of the dish. In the same way, the upper and lower limiting methods enhance the stability of the dish within the frame body 10 and prevent the dish from sliding or flipping during the cleaning process.

[0054] The third limiting bracket 74 corresponds to the chopstick area 50. The third limiting bracket 74 includes a receiving frame 741 and a baffle 742. The baffle 742 is located at both ends of the receiving frame 741. The top of the receiving frame 741 is provided with an arc-shaped limiting strip 743. When the cover plate 70 is closed, the edge of the receiving frame 741 coincides with the edge of the guardrail 51, forming a complete cylindrical receiving space for accommodating chopsticks. The baffle 742 is grid-shaped to ensure that water cannot enter, and the gaps in the grid are smaller than the diameter of ordinary chopsticks to prevent chopsticks from passing through the baffle 742 and falling out.

[0055] The fourth limiting frame 77 corresponds to the spoon placement area 60. The fourth limiting frame 77 is also grid-shaped, and each sleeve 62 has a corresponding grid. When the cover plate 70 is closed, the fourth limiting frame 77 limits the tail of the spoon so that it will not come off the sleeve 62.

[0056] A connecting strip 78 is provided between the first limiting frame 72 and the second limiting frame 73. A vertical rod 75 is provided on the connecting strip 78. The vertical rod 75 is perpendicular to the connecting strip 78. A circular platform 76 is provided at the end of the vertical rod 75. When the cover plate 70 is closed, the circular platform 76 abuts against the bottom of the cup that is upside down on the connecting protrusion 43, limiting the cup and further improving the stability of the cup placement, preventing the cup from shaking or tipping over during washing.

[0057] The cover plate 70 provides all-around restraint for various tableware items in the bowl area 20, plate area 30, cup area 40, chopsticks area 50, and spoon area 60, ensuring that the tableware will not shake, shift, or detach from the frame body 10 during the washing process, providing a stable placement environment for the tableware. When the dishwasher operates on this multi-type tableware centralized washing and restraint combination frame, the cover plate 70 can effectively restrain individual items in each area, allowing for rotation, inversion, and other postures during the washing process, without the tableware falling off due to rotation or other operations. It can cooperate with the dishwasher for 360° all-around washing, improving the washing effect.

[0058] In one embodiment of this utility model, a support block (not shown in the figure) may be provided at the bottom of the frame body. The support block may be made of rubber material, which on the one hand makes the dish rack more stable inside the dishwasher, preventing the dish rack from shaking or shifting during the operation of the dishwasher, and further improving the stability and safety of the dish rack; on the other hand, it increases the distance between the frame body 10 and the ground, which can prevent some larger plates from exceeding the frame body 10 and hitting the ground when placed in the dish placement area 30.

[0059] In some high-end restaurants, a typical set of tableware includes a bowl, chopsticks, teacup, and plate. After use, staff usually collect all the items in a box and take them to a dishwashing company for cleaning and disinfection. At the dishwashing company, the items are then emptied and washed in a dishwasher. This invention proposes a multi-type tableware centralized cleaning and limiting combination frame, which allows bowls, chopsticks, teacups, and plates to be sorted and placed in advance, eliminating the need to empty them for washing again. The items can be washed directly with the frame in place, and one frame can wash multiple sets of tableware simultaneously, saving many tedious steps and achieving one-stop cleaning.

[0060] This application features a bowl area 20, a plate area 30, a cup area 40, a chopsticks area 50, and a spoon area 60, which clearly divides different types of tableware into separate zones, making the tableware more neat and orderly arranged in the dishwasher. This makes it easier for users to take out and place tableware, saves many tedious steps, and achieves one-stop cleaning.

[0061] The structural design of each placement area fully considers the shape and characteristics of the tableware, effectively securing it, reducing collisions during dishwasher operation, lowering the risk of damage, and extending the lifespan of the tableware. The rational layout and stable placement method ensure that water flow fully contacts each piece of tableware during dishwasher operation, improving cleaning effectiveness and ensuring thorough cleaning. Furthermore, the structural design of the placement areas can accommodate tableware of different sizes and shapes, meeting diverse user needs and enhancing the versatility and practicality of the dish rack.

[0062] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present utility model using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
