[0038] Currently, most household dishwashers are equipped with a special tray for storing slender cutlery such as chopsticks and knives / forks. This tray is typically positioned above the dish rack, which is used to hold bowls, plates, and cookware. Most existing dishwashers use a fixed-height shelf design for their trays. These trays usually attach directly to preset tracks on the dishwasher's inner wall or above the dish rack, and their height is locked at the factory.

[0039] Thus, the fixed height of the tray relative to the upper bowl basket restricts the size of the tableware placed in the bowl basket, resulting in wasted space from the tray to the top of the inner liner, affecting the overall space utilization.

[0040] This utility model proposes a tray assembly 10.

[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 8 In one embodiment of the present invention, the pallet assembly 10 includes a pallet body 100 and a support structure 200. The support structure 200 includes a first support member 300 fixed to the pallet body 100 and a second support member 400 foldably disposed on the pallet body 100. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are adapted to provide different support heights for the pallet body 100.

[0042] Understandably, the dishwasher contains a dish rack body 30 and a tray assembly 10. The dish rack body 30 has a receiving cavity for holding bowls, plates, pots, etc., and its height within the dishwasher is generally fixed. The tray assembly 10 is typically placed above the dish rack body 30 and is used to hold cutlery such as knives, forks, spoons, and chopsticks. When the volume of the bowls and plates in the dish rack body 30 is large, the distance between the tray assembly 10 and the dish rack body 30 needs to be set larger; conversely, when the volume of the bowls and plates in the dish rack body 30 is small, or when the volume of the cutlery such as knives and spoons in the tray assembly 10 is large, the distance between the tray assembly 10 and the top plate of the dishwasher's inner tub needs to be larger, meaning the distance between the tray assembly 10 and the dish rack body 30 needs to be set smaller.

[0043] Generally, dishwashers have vertical, front-back, and left-right directions, and the opening of the dishwasher is usually located at the front. It is worth noting that the support height in this utility model refers to the height of the tray body 100 relative to the dish rack body 30, and the support height direction is also the vertical direction of the dishwasher.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 The present invention provides a support structure 200 on the pallet body 100. The support structure 200 includes a first support member 300 and a second support member 400. The first support member 300 is fixed to the pallet body 100, and the second support member 400 is foldably disposed on the pallet body 100. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are adapted to provide different support heights for the pallet body 100.

[0045] Understandably, the tray body 100 can be supported above the basket body 30 by either the first support member 300 or the second support member 400, thereby allowing the tray body 100 to have different support heights. The second support member 400 is foldably disposed on the tray body 100, meaning the second support member 400 has different states relative to the tray body 100. In one embodiment, when the tray body 100 is supported above the basket body 30 by the first support member 300, the second support member 400 is folded relative to the tray body 100 to avoid interference with the support provided by the first support member 300 and the basket body 30. When the tray body 100 is supported above the basket body 30 by the second support member 400, the second support member 400 is unfolded relative to the tray body 100.

[0046] Of course, in other embodiments, the second support member 400 can provide different support heights for the pallet body 100 when it is folded and unfolded relative to the pallet body 100, thus making the support height of the pallet body 100 more selective.

[0047] Of course, in other embodiments, the support structure 200 may also include a third support member, a fourth support member, etc., with each support member having a different support height, thereby providing at least two support heights for the pallet body 100.

[0048] The technical solution of this utility model involves setting a tray body 100 and a support structure 200 in the tray assembly 10. The support structure 200 includes a first support member 300 fixedly disposed on the tray body 100 and a second support member 400 foldably disposed on the tray body 100. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are adapted to provide different support heights for the tray body 100. Thus, compared to the fixed height of the tray assembly 10 in the prior art, the height of the tray body 100 in the tray assembly 10 of this utility model is adjustable. This allows the support height of the tray body 100 to be adjusted according to actual usage, thereby meeting different usage needs, increasing the applicability of the dishwasher, and improving the space utilization rate of the dishwasher. Meanwhile, the foldable design of the second support member 400 avoids interference between the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 when the pallet body 100 is supported by the first support member 300. Compared with other complex structural designs, the foldable design of the second support member 400 is beneficial to the ease of use of the second support member 400. When the second support member 400 is folded, it also helps to reduce the volume of the pallet body 10.

[0049] In an embodiment of this utility model, a first support member 300 is disposed on the side wall of the pallet body 100, and a second support member 400 is disposed on the bottom of the pallet body 100. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are spaced apart in the height direction.

[0050] It is understood that the tray body 100 has opposing first side 101 and opposing second side 102, wherein the first side 101 is located on the front and rear sides of the dishwasher, and the second side 102 is located on the left and right sides of the dishwasher. In one embodiment, a first support member 300 is disposed on the side wall of the tray body 100, wherein the side wall refers to the side wall of the first side 101, and a second support member 400 is disposed on the bottom of the tray body 100. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are spaced apart in the height direction of the dishwasher. It is understood that in the height direction, both the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 have a connecting position and a supporting position, wherein the connecting position is used to connect with the tray body 100, and the supporting position is used to connect with the dish rack body 30. The first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are spaced apart in the height direction, meaning that the supporting position of the first support member 300 and the supporting position of the second support member 400 are spaced apart in the height direction. Thus, when the tray body 100 is mounted on the dish rack body 30 via the first support member 300 or the second support member 400, the tray body 100 has different support heights, thereby meeting different usage needs, increasing the applicability of the dishwasher, and improving the space utilization of the dishwasher.

[0051] In the embodiment shown in the figures of this utility model, the connection positions of the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are spaced apart in the height direction. Of course, in other embodiments, the connection positions of the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 may also be at the same height. No limitation is imposed here.

[0052] In an embodiment of this utility model, the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are disposed on the same side of the tray body 100, and the first support member 300 is located above the second support member 400.

[0053] Understandably, the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 are located on the same side of the tray body 100, so that the first support member 300 and the second support member 400 can be connected to the same connection part of the dish rack body 30, thereby simplifying the structure of the dish rack body 30. In the solution shown in the figures of this utility model, the second support member 400 is also located close to the first side 101, that is, close to the front and rear sides of the dishwasher.

[0054] In one embodiment, the first support member 300 is located above the second support member 400; specifically, the support position of the first support member 300 is located above the support position of the second support member 400, thus the support height of the first support member 300 is less than the support height of the second support member 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the first support member 300 may be located below the second support member 400. The following description uses the example of the first support member 300 being located above the second support member 400.

[0055] Understandably, considering the supporting stability of the tray body 100 and the basket body 30, when the supporting structure 200 is connected to the basket body 30, the supporting structure 200 is located on opposite sides of the tray body 100. That is, there are two of each of the first supporting member 300 and the second supporting member 400; the two first supporting members 300 are respectively located on opposite sides of the tray body 100, and the two second supporting members 400 are respectively located on opposite sides of the tray body 100. In other words, in the solution shown in the figures of this utility model, the two first supporting members 300 and the two second supporting members 400 are respectively located at the positions of the opposite first side 101.

[0056] In an embodiment of the present invention, the second support member 400 includes a connecting part 410 and a support part 420 connected to each other. The connecting part 410 is rotatably connected to the tray body 100 so that the support part 420 has a stored state at the bottom of the tray body 100 and a support state exposed on the side of the tray body 100.

[0057] In the solution provided in the figures of this utility model, the support structure 200 can provide two support heights. The solution shown in the figures of this utility model will be described in detail below.

[0058] Please see Figure 6 The second support member 400 includes a connecting portion 410 and a supporting portion 420. The connecting portion 410 is movably connected to the bottom of the tray body 100. As the connecting portion 410 moves relative to the bottom of the tray body 100, the supporting portion 420 has different states, namely a retracted state and a supported state. When in the retracted state, the supporting portion 420 is located at the bottom of the tray body 100; when in the supported state, the supporting portion 420 is exposed on the first side 101 of the tray body 100 and located below the first support member 300. It can be understood that when the supporting portion 420 is in the supported state, the supporting portion 420 needs to be exposed on the first side 101 of the tray body 100 to connect with the dish basket body 30. In one embodiment, when the supporting portion 420 is in the supported state, the projection of the first support member 300 coincides with the supporting portion 420, thereby ensuring that both the first support member 300 and the supporting portion 420 can be connected to the same connecting member of the dish basket body 30.

[0059] In one embodiment, the support height of the tray body 100 mounted on the bowl basket body 30 via the first support member 300 is less than the support height of the tray body 100 mounted on the bowl basket body 30 via the support portion 420 of the second support member 400. It is understood that when the support portion 420 is in a supported state, in the vertical direction, the support position of the first support member 300 is located above the support portion 420, and the first support member 300 and the support portion 420 are spaced apart to create a height difference between them. Thus, when the tray body 100 is supported by the first support member 300, the tray body 100 is closer to the bowl basket body 30; when the tray body 100 is supported by the support portion 420, the tray body 100 is farther away from the bowl basket body 30. Therefore, by providing the first support member 300 and the support portion 420, the tray body 100 is selectively connected to the bowl basket body 30 via the first support member 300 and the support portion 420, thereby achieving height adjustment of the tray assembly 10.

[0060] In an embodiment of this utility model, the connecting part 410 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the tray body 100.

[0061] Please see Figure 5 Specifically, the bottom of the pallet body 100 is provided with a sleeve 130, and the connecting part 410 is configured as a connecting crossbar 410a. The connecting crossbar 410a is inserted into the sleeve 130 and can rotate relative to the sleeve 130. When the connecting part 410 rotates inward relative to the pallet body 100, the supporting part 420 moves inward accordingly and is stored at the bottom of the pallet body 100, at which time the supporting part 420 is in a stored state. When the connecting part 410 rotates outward relative to the pallet body 100, the supporting part 420 moves outward accordingly and is exposed on the first side 101 of the pallet body 100, at which time the supporting part 420 is in a supported state. It is worth noting that inward rotation means that the connecting part 410 rotates closer to the center of the pallet body 100; outward rotation means that the connecting part 410 rotates away from the center of the pallet body 100.

[0062] More specifically, such as Figure 8 As shown, the sleeve 130 has a downward-facing notch 131 to facilitate the insertion of the connecting crossbar 410a into the sleeve 130, thus achieving a detachable connection between the connecting crossbar 410a and the sleeve 130. On the inner wall of the sleeve 130, near the notch 131, a clamping protrusion 132 is also provided. The clamping protrusion 132 prevents the connecting crossbar 410a from dislodging from the notch 131 of the sleeve 130. It is understandable that the sleeve 130 itself has a certain degree of elasticity to allow the connecting crossbar 410a to be inserted, and that a certain force must be applied after the connecting crossbar 410a is inserted to dislodge it from the notch 131.

[0063] Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting portion 410 and the bottom of the tray body 100 can also be slidably connected. Specifically, the bottom of the tray body 100 is provided with a slide rail, and the connecting portion 410 can slide along the slide rail. In this way, the connecting portion 410 slides along the slide rail toward the center near the bottom of the tray body 100, so that the support portion 420 is housed in the bottom of the tray body 100; the connecting portion 410 slides along the slide rail away from the center of the bottom of the tray body 100, so that the support portion 420 is exposed on the side of the tray body 100. In one embodiment, the sliding direction of the connecting portion 410 is consistent with the front-back direction of the dishwasher.

[0064] Please see Figures 4 to 6 In an embodiment of this utility model, the second support member 400 further includes a first connecting rod 430. The support part 420 is connected to the connecting part 410 through the first connecting rod 430. The bottom of the tray body 100 is provided with a first fixing part 110. In the support state, the first connecting rod 430 is engaged with the first fixing part 110.

[0065] Understandably, the support part 420 is connected to the connecting part 410 via the first connecting rod 430. In the supported state, the first connecting rod 430 extends vertically. That is, the first connecting rod 430 is in a vertical state, which helps to ensure the stability of the tray body 100 and prevents the tray body 100 from tilting when connected to the bowl basket body 30. Understandably, to limit the rotation angle of the support part 420 relative to the tray body 100, the bottom of the tray body 100 is provided with a first fixing part 110. Thus, when the support part 420 is in the supported state, the first connecting rod 430 engages with the first fixing part 110, thereby limiting the continued rotation of the connecting part 410 and preventing the support part 420 from rotating, ensuring the stability of the supported state.

[0066] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figure 4 The first fixing part 110 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​groove 110a, the snap-fit ​​groove 110a faces the first connecting rod 430 and is located below the first support member 300.

[0067] Understandably, the first fixing part 110 is used to restrict the rotation of the support part 420. When the first connecting rod 430 is engaged with the first fixing part 110, the second support member 400 is in a supported state. The first fixing part 110 is located below the first support member 300, so that when the second support member 400 is in the supported state, its first connecting rod 430 is located below the first support member 300, thus making the support height of the first support member 300 less than the support height of the second support member 400. Understandably, the first fixing part 110 is located close to the first side 101, so that in the supported state, the first connecting rod 430 is close to the first side 101, thereby exposing the support part 420 on the first side 101 for connection with the basket body 30.

[0068] Please see Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In one embodiment, the first fixing part 110 is disposed at the bottom of the tray body 100 and near the first side 101. The first fixing part 110 has a first snap-fit ​​groove 110a, which has a latch facing the first connecting rod 430. It is understood that the first snap-fit ​​groove 110a is disposed at the bottom of the tray body 100 and near the first side 101. Thus, when the support part 420 is in the supported state, the first connecting rod 430 can be snapped into the first snap-fit ​​groove 110a from the latch, thereby restricting the rotation of the second support member 400. When the support part 420 needs to be switched to the retracted state, force is applied to the second support member 400, causing the first connecting rod 430 to disengage from the latch in the first snap-fit ​​groove 110a, thereby removing the rotation restriction on the second support member 400. Of course, in other embodiments, the first connecting rod 430 and the first fixing part 110 can also be limited by means of screw connection or other methods.

[0069] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In an embodiment of this utility model, the second support member 400 further includes a second connecting rod 440, which is connected to the support part 420. The bottom of the tray body 100 is also provided with a second fixing part 120. In the storage state, the second connecting rod 440 and the second fixing part 120 are engaged.

[0070] Understandably, to improve the stability of the support part 420 in its stored state, the second support member 400 is also provided with a second connecting rod 440, and the bottom of the tray body 100 is also provided with a second fixing part 120 corresponding to the second connecting rod 440. In one embodiment, the second connecting rod 440 and the second fixing part 120 are snapped together, thereby preventing the second support member 400 from shaking in the stored state and preventing the second support member 400 from interfering with other structural components or tableware such as bowls and plates.

[0071] In an embodiment of this utility model, the second fixing part 120 is spaced apart from the first fixing part 110. The second fixing part 120 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​groove 120a, and the snap-fit ​​groove 120a is positioned facing the first fixing part 110.

[0072] Specifically, the second connecting rod 440 extends in the left-right direction, and the second fixing part 120 is provided with a second locking groove 120a, which has a latch facing the second connecting rod 440. In the embodiment shown in the figures of this utility model, the first fixing part 110 and the second fixing part 120 are spaced apart in the front-back direction at the bottom of the tray body 100, and the latches of the first fixing part 110 and the second fixing part 120 are respectively positioned facing each other, so that the second support member 400 can rotate between the first fixing part 110 and the second fixing part 120. When the support part 420 is in the retracted state, the second connecting rod 440 is engaged in the second locking groove 120a, thereby improving the stability of the retracted state and preventing the second support member 400 from swaying in the retracted state. When the support part 420 needs to switch to the support state, force is applied to the second connecting rod 440, causing the second connecting rod 440 to disengage from the second locking groove 120a. Of course, in other embodiments, the second connecting rod 440 and the second fixing part 120 can also be limited by means of screw connection or other methods.

[0073] Understandably, the first locking slot 110a faces the first connecting rod 430, and the second locking slot 120a faces the first fixing part 110. That is, the orientation of the first locking slot 110a and the second locking slot 120a are different. In the solution shown in the figures of this utility model, the locking slot of the first locking slot 110a is configured as a vertical locking slot, that is, the locking slot of the first locking slot 110a extends along the height direction of the dishwasher, so as to be consistent with the extension direction of the first connecting rod 430, so that the first connecting rod 430 can enter from the locking slot of the first locking slot 110a and be locked in the first locking slot 110a. The second slot 120a is configured as a horizontal slot, meaning that the slot of the second slot 120a extends along the left and right direction of the dishwasher, so as to be consistent with the extension direction of the second connecting rod 440, so that the second connecting rod 440 can enter from the slot of the second slot 120a and be locked in the second slot 120a.

[0074] Please see Figure 6 In the embodiment shown in the figure of this utility model, the support part 420 is configured as a support bent rod 420a. The two ends of the support bent rod 420a are respectively connected to the first connecting rod 430 and the second connecting rod 440. The support bent rod 420a is bent to form a support groove 421 for support.

[0075] Understandably, in one embodiment, the support portion 420 is configured as a support bent rod 420a. One end of the support bent rod 420a is connected to the first connecting rod 430, and the other end is connected to the second connecting rod 440. Simultaneously, the support bent rod 420a is bent to form a support groove 421 with a slot. In the supported state, the slot of the support groove 421 faces downwards for connection with the basket body 30. Understandably, the connection point can be bent to achieve the connection between the support bent rod 420a and the first connecting rod 430 and the second connecting rod 440.

[0076] Please see Figure 6 In the embodiment shown in the figures of this utility model, the second support member 400 is configured as a rod-shaped structure and is an integral structure. The rod-shaped structure is extended by bending to form a connecting portion 410, a first connecting rod 430, a support portion 420, and a second connecting rod 440. In one embodiment, the second support member 400 has a break at the connecting portion 410 to facilitate the installation of the second support member 400 at the bottom of the pallet body 100, and also to facilitate the weight reduction of the pallet assembly 10. More specifically, along the vertical direction, with the center of the break as the dividing line, the second support member 400 has a symmetrical structure.

[0077] In an embodiment of this utility model, the first support member 300 is provided with a slot 310 with the opening facing downward.

[0078] Specifically, a first support member 300 is disposed on the first side 101 of the tray body 100. The first support member is configured as a handle of the tray body 100. The first support member 300 has a slot 310 with the slot facing downward, which is used to connect with the dish basket body 30. Several reinforcing ribs are provided at the bottom of the slot 310 to improve the support strength of the slot 310.

[0079] This utility model also proposes a bowl basket assembly 20, which includes a bowl basket body 30 and a tray assembly 10. The specific structure of the tray assembly 10 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this bowl basket assembly 20 adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here. A support strip 31 is provided above the bowl basket body 30. The support structure 200 of the tray assembly 10 is detachably installed on the support strip 31. The support height of the tray body 100 installed on the bowl basket body 30 by the first support member 300 is less than the support height of the tray body 100 installed on the bowl basket body 30 by the second support member 400.

[0080] Understandably, the support structure 200 is detachably mounted on the support bar 31, meaning that the support portion 420 of the first support member 300 or the second support member 400 is detachably mounted on the support bar 31. This detachable connection between the tray assembly 10 and the dish rack body 30 further expands the dishwasher's applicability and ease of use. In one embodiment, the support height of the tray body 100 mounted on the dish rack body 30 via the first support member 300 is less than the support height of the tray body 100 mounted on the dish rack body 30 via the second support member 400. Thus, when using the dishwasher, the tray assembly 10 can be selectively connected to the dish rack body 30 via the first support member 300 or the second support member 400, providing different support heights for the tray body 10 and further improving the dishwasher's ease of use.

[0081] In one embodiment, the support bar 31 is made of steel. Of course, the support bar 31 can also be made of other materials such as plastic.

[0082] In an embodiment of this utility model, the tray assembly 10 has a projection coverage portion of the basket body 30, and the support structure 200 can slide along the support bar 31 so that the tray assembly 10 can slide relative to the basket body 30.

[0083] Understandably, the area of ​​the tray assembly 10 is smaller than that of the dish rack body 30, and the tray assembly 10 can slide on the support bar 31, that is, the tray assembly 10 can slide relative to the dish rack body 30. Thus, when one side of the dish rack body 30 is loaded with large tableware, the tray assembly 10 can be slid to the other side to make room for the larger tableware, thereby further improving the applicability and ease of use of the dishwasher. In one embodiment, the tray assembly 10 slides relative to the dish rack body 30 in a left-right direction.

[0084] This utility model also proposes a dishwasher, which includes a dish rack assembly 20. The specific structure of the dish rack assembly 20 is as described in the above embodiments. Since this dishwasher adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.
