[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dish rack includes a dish rack frame 1 and a support assembly 2. The support assembly 2 includes a first movable support 21, a second movable support 22, and a fixing member 23. The first movable support 21 and the second movable support 22 are arranged side by side. There are two sets of fixing members 23, which are located on the left and right sides of the first movable support 21 and the second movable support 22, respectively. The fixing members 23 are fixedly mounted on the dish rack frame 1. The first movable support 21 and the second movable support 22 cooperate with the fixing members 23, so that the first movable support 21 and / or the second movable support 22 can rotate relative to the fixing members 23, thereby allowing the first movable support 21 and / or the second movable support 22 to switch between a vertical standing position and a folded-down position relative to the dish rack frame 1.
[0032] In some embodiments, continue as follows Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support components 2 are provided in at least two sets, with adjacent sets of support components 2 forming a space for storing tableware. Specifically, the support components 2 are provided inside the bowl basket frame 1, which can divide the space inside the bowl basket frame 1 and increase the number of tableware that can be placed. In actual use, users can selectively fold or lay down the first movable support 21 and / or the second movable support 22 or stand it upright as needed, making reasonable use of the storage space inside the tableware basket, improving the flexibility of tableware storage, and making it highly applicable.
[0033] like Figures 3-5As shown, the fixing component 23 includes a first fixing part 231, a second fixing part 232, and a third fixing part 233 that are connected to each other. The basket frame 1 cooperates with the first fixing part 231 so that the first fixing part 231 is fixedly mounted on the basket frame 1. The first movable bracket 21 cooperates with the second fixing part 232 so that the first movable bracket 21 can rotate relative to the second fixing part 232. The second movable bracket 22 cooperates with the third fixing part 233 so that the second movable bracket 22 can rotate relative to the third fixing part 233, thereby allowing the first movable bracket 21 and the second movable bracket 22 to switch between a vertical standing position and a folded-down position relative to the basket frame 1.
[0034] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the basket frame 1 includes a frame crossbar 11, a frame longitudinal bar 12, and a connecting rod 13. The frame crossbar 11 is located above the frame longitudinal bar 12 and intersects with it. The connecting rod 13 is located above the frame crossbar 11 and intersects with it. The support component 2 is arranged perpendicular to the direction in which the basket frame 1 is pulled out. The first fixing part 231 cooperates with both the connecting rod 13 and the frame crossbar 11 to fix the fixing component 23 at the intersection of the connecting rod 13 and the frame crossbar 11. Specifically, the first fixing part 231 is provided with a first fixing groove 2311, the connecting rod 13 cooperates with the first fixing groove 2311, and the bottom of the first fixing part 231 is provided with an opening 2312 communicating with the first fixing groove 2311. The frame crossbar 11 cooperates with the opening 2312, so that the first fixing part 231 is snapped and fixed at the intersection of the connecting rod 13 and the frame crossbar 11.
[0035] It should be noted that although the above description is based on the support component 2 being arranged in a direction perpendicular to the pull-out direction of the basket frame 1, this is not a limitation. Those skilled in the art can also arrange the support component 2 in a direction parallel to the pull-out direction of the basket frame 1 as needed. In this case, the connecting rod 13 can be omitted, the frame crossbar 11 cooperates with the first fixing groove 2311, and the frame longitudinal bar 12 cooperates with the opening 2312, so that the first fixing part 231 is snapped and fixed at the intersection of the frame crossbar 11 and the frame longitudinal bar 12. All the above adjustments are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0036] like Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first movable support 21 includes a first movable rod 211 and a first support rod 212. Multiple first support rods 212 are provided, and the multiple first support rods 212 are spaced apart on the first movable rod 211. The length extension direction of the multiple first support rods 212 intersects the length extension direction of the first movable rod 211. The multiple first support rods 212 are parallel to each other and inclined. The second fixing part 232 is provided on the upper part of the first fixing part 231 and connected to it. The second fixing part 232 is provided with a second fixing groove 2321, which communicates with the first fixing groove 2311. The first movable rod 211 is parallel to the frame crossbar 11 and is located directly above the frame crossbar 11. The first movable rod 211 passes through the second fixing groove 2321 and can rotate relative to the second fixing groove 2321, so that the first movable support 21 can switch between the vertical standing position and the folded-down position relative to the bowl basket frame 1.
[0037] It should be noted that the tilt angle of the plurality of first support rods 212 relative to the first movable rod 211 is set according to actual needs. Of course, those skilled in the art can also set the plurality of first support rods 212 vertically relative to the first movable rod 211 as needed. All of the above adjustments are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0038] Continue as Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the first movable support 21 also includes a first limiting rod 213, and the fixing component 23 also includes a fourth fixing part 234. A first limiting groove 2341 is vertically provided on the fourth fixing part 234. The first part 2131 of the first limiting rod 213 engages with the first limiting groove 2341, and is vertically positioned relative to the first movable rod 211. The second part 2132 of the first limiting rod 213 is parallel to the first support rod 212, and the first part 2131 and the second part 2132 of the first limiting rod 213 are connected to each other. When the first movable support 21 stands upright, the first part 2131 of the first limiting rod 213 engages with the first limiting groove 2341, so that the first limiting rod 213 is secured within the first limiting groove 2341, thereby limiting the movement of the first movable support 21. When the first movable support 21 is folded down, the first limiting rod 213 disengages from the first limiting groove 2341.
[0039] like Figure 3 and Figure 7As shown, the second movable support 22 includes a second movable rod 221 and a second support rod 222. Multiple second support rods 222 are provided, and the multiple second support rods 222 are spaced apart on the second movable rod 221. The length extension direction of the multiple second support rods 222 intersects the length extension direction of the second movable rod 221. The multiple second support rods 222 are parallel to each other and inclined. The third fixing part 233 is provided on the side of the second fixing part 232. Its extension direction is opposite to the extension direction of the first fixing part 231. The bottom of the third fixing part 233 is provided with a third fixing groove 2331. The second movable rod 221 passes through the third fixing groove 2331 and can rotate relative to the third fixing groove 2331, so that the second movable support 22 can switch between the vertical standing position and the folded-down position relative to the bowl basket frame 1.
[0040] It should be noted that the tilt angle of the plurality of second support rods 222 relative to the second movable rod 221 is set according to actual needs. Of course, those skilled in the art can also set the plurality of second support rods 222 perpendicular to the second movable rod 221 as needed. All of the above adjustments are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0041] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the second movable rod 221 is parallel to the first movable rod 211 and is disposed beside the first movable rod 211. The second support rod 222 includes a first inclined portion 2221, a second inclined portion 2222, and a third inclined portion 2223. The first inclined portion 2221 is connected to the second movable rod 221. The first inclined portion 2221 is connected to the third inclined portion 2223 through the second inclined portion 2222. The length extension direction of the first inclined portion 2221 intersects the length extension direction of the second movable rod 221. The length extension direction of the third inclined portion 2223 intersects the length extension direction of the first movable rod 211. The first inclined portion 2221 and the third inclined portion 2223 are parallel to the first support rod 212.
[0042] In some embodiments, the spacing between adjacent second support rods 222 is not the same as the spacing between adjacent first support rods 212, for example, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the interval between the multiple second support rods 222 is greater than the interval between the multiple first support rods 212. Specifically, by switching the vertical standing positions of the first movable support 21 and the second movable support 22 relative to the bowl basket frame 1, the spacing between adjacent support rods can be adjusted, thereby accommodating the placement of tableware of different depths or sizes, offering high flexibility. Of course, the spacing between adjacent second support rods 222 can also be the same as the spacing between adjacent first support rods 212, but considering the flexibility of use, it is preferable to set the spacing between adjacent second support rods 222 and the spacing between adjacent first support rods 212 to be different.
[0043] For example Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, the second movable support 22 also includes a second limiting rod 223. The top of the third fixing part 233 is horizontally provided with a second limiting groove 2332 communicating with the third fixing groove 2331. The second limiting rod 223 cooperates with the second limiting groove 2332, and the second limiting rod 223 is vertically arranged relative to the second movable rod 221. When the second movable support 22 stands vertically, the second limiting rod 223 cooperates with the second limiting groove 2332 to secure the second limiting rod 223 within the second limiting groove 2332, thereby limiting the movement of the second movable support 22. At this time, the second limiting rod 223 is in a horizontal state.
[0044] Continue as Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a limit block 2333 is provided in the second limit groove 2332. When the second movable bracket 22 is folded down, the second movable rod 221 rotates, causing the second limit rod 223 to disengage from the second limit groove 2332 and stop against the limit block 2333. At this time, the second limit rod 223 is in a vertical state.
[0045] Based on the above embodiments, the present invention also provides a dishwasher, which includes the dishwashing basket as described above.
[0046] The technical solution of this utility model has been described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it will be readily understood by those skilled in the art that the protection scope of this utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Without departing from the principle of this utility model, those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or substitutions to the relevant technical features, and the technical solutions after these changes or substitutions will all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
