Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of stainless steel bowl and chopstick drainer, and in particular to a stainless steel bowl and chopstick drainer. Background Technology

[0002] Dishwashing racks are widely used in homes and restaurants to drain washed dishes and utensils, but they generally suffer from a core problem: low space utilization and inconvenient access. Traditional dishwashing racks use a fixed tiered structure, with each tier's height not adjustable. When multiple bowls are placed on the rack, the upper tiers obstruct the lower tiers, requiring users to manually move items from the upper tiers to retrieve bowls from the bottom. This not only increases the risk of dishes slipping and breaking but also adds to the tediousness of the process. Furthermore, the fixed structure limits the number of bowls that can be stacked, leading to resource waste in space-constrained kitchens. This problem is particularly pronounced during peak dishwashing periods, requiring users to frequently rearrange the racks, thus impacting efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, we propose a stainless steel dish rack to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a stainless steel dish rack. When using this stainless steel dish rack, the height automatically adjusts according to the weight of the dishes through the cooperation of a filter base and a telescopic spring rod. When placing a bowl, the filter base lowers due to its weight, freeing up upper space for another bowl. A traction rope and slider then move the positioning clamp in tandem, achieving stable drainage for multiple layers of dishes. When retrieving a bowl, the system rises layer by layer from bottom to top, ensuring the user always retrieves it from the top, avoiding manual rearrangement. Simultaneously, the chopsticks draining area is linked to the bowl area via a drain plate, improving overall efficiency. The protective mesh and water guide plate design prevent tableware from slipping and guide water flow, enhancing safety and practicality, significantly improving space utilization and ease of operation, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-3A stainless steel dish drainer includes a stainless steel outer shell 1, which is a rectangular frame structure providing primary support. The inner wall of the stainless steel outer shell 1 has a dish draining area 2 and a chopstick draining area 3, where dish draining area 2 is for draining bowls and chopstick draining area 3 is for draining chopsticks. A partition wall 8 is provided on one side of dish draining area 2, which is vertically fixed to the inner wall of the outer shell, separating the dish area from the chopstick area. Multiple slots 9 are provided on the inner wall of the partition wall 8, each slot 9 being a through channel, and a telescopic spring rod 11 is installed in the inner wall of each slot 9. A support base 10 is provided at the upper end of the telescopic spring rod 11. The support base 10 is a flat plate structure, and a filter base 6 is provided on one side of the support base 10. The filter base 6 is a mesh platform used to support the bowls. A connecting rod 12 is provided at the upper end of the support base 10. The connecting rod 12 is vertically welded to the surface of the support base 10. An L-shaped metal block 13 is provided at the upper end of the connecting rod 12. A positioning clamp 14 is installed at one end of the L-shaped block 13. The positioning clamps are symmetrically arranged and used to clamp the edge of the bowl. A traction rope 20 is provided at the upper end of the L-shaped block 13. The traction rope 20 is a flexible steel cable. A connecting seat 15 is provided at the upper end of the traction rope 20. The connecting seat 15 is the base of the slider 16. A second telescopic spring rod 18 is installed at the upper end of the connecting seat 15 and is fixed to the top wall of the partition wall 8. A slider 16 is provided on one side of the connecting seat 15. The slider 16 is a T-shaped guide rail that is movably embedded in the slot 9. A second positioning clamp 17 is installed at one end of the slider 16 for clamping the upper bowl. Multiple No. 3 fixing clips 7 are fixedly installed on the outer wall of the partition wall 8. Each No. 3 fixing clip 7 is located at the top of the slot 9 and is used to fix the uppermost bowls. A protective mesh 4 is provided at the front end of the stainless steel shell 1. The protective mesh 4 is a grid-like barrier to prevent the tableware from slipping out. A water guide plate 5 is installed at the bottom of the protective mesh 4. The water guide plate 5 is inclined to guide the drain water to the sink. A drain plate 19 is provided at the bottom of the chopsticks draining area 3. The drain plate 19 is a perforated plate. One side of the drain plate 19 is movably inserted into the opening at the other end of the slot 9. The other end of the drain plate 19 is fixed to the side wall of the support base 10 to achieve synchronous lifting and lowering with the bowl area.

[0022] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: As shown in the figure, in the initial state, the water filter base 6 is at its highest position. When the bowl is placed in the first positioning clamp 14, the weight is transmitted to the first telescopic spring rod 11 through the support seat 10. The first telescopic spring rod 11 is compressed and retracts, causing the support seat 10, connecting rod 12, and irregular block 13 to descend, thus lowering the water filter base 6. After descending to the preset position, the traction rope 20 is straightened, and the user can place the second layer of bowls into the second positioning clamp 17. Due to the weight of the bowls, the second positioning clamp 17 causes the slider 16 to move down in the slot 9, and the connecting seat 15 compresses the second telescopic spring rod 18. The water filter base 6 continues to descend to the lowest position, and the first telescopic spring rod 11 is fully retracted. At this time, the third fixing clamp 7 can fix the third layer of bowls. When removing the bowls, after removing the top bowl, the second telescopic spring rod 18 springs back, lifting the second positioning clamp 17 via the connecting seat 15 and the slider 16; then, after removing the second bowl, the first telescopic spring rod 11 springs back, lifting the filter base 6 to its original position. Simultaneously, the drain plate 19 rises and falls with the support base 10, draining the chopsticks in the chopstick draining area 3. The protective mesh 4 prevents the tableware from sliding out, and the water guide plate 5 directs the water flow to the sink. This linkage mechanism ensures efficient draining and safe operation.

[0023] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
