Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of draining device technology, specifically to a dish draining storage rack. Background Technology
[0002] In laboratory experiments, test tubes, volumetric flasks, and other glassware are often used. After use, these glassware need to be cleaned and drained to keep them dry.
[0003] In existing technology, a drain rack is used to hang utensils to drain and dry. However, existing drain racks have multiple hanging rods fixed on them. When the utensils are hung upside down on the hanging rods, water stains inside the utensils will flow out from the openings and flow down the drain rack. This causes cross-contamination near the lower hanging rods, making it easy for bacteria to grow. This is not in line with the hygiene requirements for storing utensils. In addition, the water stains will flow onto the surrounding tabletop, making the surrounding tabletop damp and prone to bacterial growth. Utility Model Content
[0004] This utility model provides a dish draining rack, which aims to collect water stains from dishes placed on the rack and avoid cross-contamination.
[0005] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a dish draining rack, including a draining rack, the draining rack is provided with multiple layers of hanging rods for hanging dishes, and a draining groove is provided below each layer of hanging rods, the groove opening of the draining groove is facing upward; a drainage unit is connected to one side of the multiple layers of draining grooves, the drainage unit can drain the water stains in the draining grooves.
[0006] Compared with existing technologies, this solution has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0007] This solution incorporates drainage channels at the bottom of each hanging rod, effectively catching water from the vessels suspended on each rod. This prevents water residue from flowing onto the next hanging rod and causing cross-contamination, and also prevents water from flowing onto the tabletop and creating a damp environment, thereby reducing bacterial growth and making it more convenient for laboratory use.
[0008] In addition, the drainage unit in this solution can drain the water in the drain trough, making it easy to collect and treat.
[0009] Furthermore, the drainage unit is located on one side of the drain trough. The drainage unit includes a water guide pipe, which is vertically arranged. All multiple layers of the drain trough are connected to the water guide pipe, and a drainage hole is provided at the bottom of the water guide pipe.
[0010] The drainage unit in this solution includes a water guide pipe, which facilitates the drainage of water from the multi-layered drainage trough and discharges it through the drainage hole.
[0011] Furthermore, a connecting pipe is connected to one side of the drain trough, and the connecting pipe is connected to the water guide pipe.
[0012] In this design, the water guide pipe is located on one side of the drain trough, and the drain trough and the water guide pipe are connected by a connecting pipe, so that the water in the drain trough can smoothly enter the water guide pipe for drainage.
[0013] Furthermore, the bottom of the drain trough is inclined, and the connecting pipe is connected to the lowest point of the bottom of the drain trough.
[0014] The bottom of the drain trough in this design is inclined, which guides the water flowing into the trough and allows it to flow smoothly into the connecting pipe, thus ensuring that the water stains in the drain trough are completely drained and reducing residue.
[0015] Furthermore, the drainage unit includes multiple support rods, each support rod being hollow inside, and both ends of the support rods being connected to two adjacent drainage channels in the upper and lower layers, respectively.
[0016] This solution provides an alternative structure for the drainage unit. In this solution, multiple support rods are set up to connect the multiple layers of drainage channels, so that the water discharged from each layer of drainage channel can be discharged through the multiple support rods respectively.
[0017] Furthermore, the drain trough and the drain rack are detachably coupled, and the drain trough and the drain rack are horizontally slidably coupled.
[0018] Over time, a lot of dirt will accumulate in the drain tray. In this solution, the drain tray and the drain rack are detachable, making it easy to remove the drain tray from the drain rack for cleaning. In addition, the drain tray and the drain rack slide horizontally together, making it easy to pull the drain tray out horizontally from the drain rack, thus achieving a detachable connection. Furthermore, the detachable connection between the drain tray and the drain rack in this solution is more convenient for manufacturing and assembly.
[0019] Furthermore, it also includes a connector, one end of each of the multi-layered drain channels is connected to the connector, and the connector is equipped with a handle.
[0020] The connectors in this design allow for the centralized connection of multiple layers of drain trays, making it easy to remove the drain trays from the drain rack simultaneously.
[0021] Furthermore, the bottom of the drain trough is connected to a connecting pipe, and the top of the drain trough is provided with a stepped hole that connects to its interior; one end of the support rod is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe of the upper drain trough, and the other end of the support rod is inserted into the stepped hole of the lower drain trough.
[0022] In this design, the stepped holes provide support and limit the movement of the support rod while ensuring connectivity between the support rod and the upper and lower drainage channels. The support rod is threaded into the connecting pipe located at the bottom of the upper drainage channel, enabling a detachable connection with the support rod and ensuring the stability of the support rod connection.
[0023] Furthermore, the connector has an air inlet channel inside, one end of which is connected to an air inlet pipe, and the air inlet pipe is connected to a fan;
[0024] Each layer of the drain trough is provided with an air guide channel that communicates with the air inlet channel; each layer of the drain rack is provided with an airflow distribution cavity corresponding to the position of each layer of the hanging rod. The hanging rod is hollow inside and has multiple ventilation holes. Each layer of hanging rod is connected to the airflow distribution cavity of each layer. Each layer of airflow distribution cavity is connected to the air guide channel on each layer of the drain trough.
[0025] This solution involves creating an air inlet channel inside the connector, an air guide channel on the drain trough, and an airflow distribution chamber on the drain rack. This allows an external fan to blow air onto each layer of hanging rods through the air inlet channel, air guide channel, and airflow distribution chamber. The airflow is blown out from the ventilation holes on the hanging rods, thereby blowing air onto the utensils hanging on the rods and accelerating the drying speed of the utensils.
[0026] Furthermore, each layer of the hanging rods is provided with multiple rods, and the hanging rods of adjacent layers are arranged alternately.
[0027] In this design, the hanging rods on adjacent layers are arranged in an alternating manner. This prevents interference between the upper and lower layers of vessels when they are being hung. The arrangement of the hanging rods on each layer in this design also makes it easier to place the vessels. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0037] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of this utility model are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment 1 provides a dish draining rack, including a draining rack 4, which has multiple layers of hanging rods 7 for hanging dishes, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, each layer of hanging rods 7 has multiple rods, and adjacent layers of hanging rods 7 are arranged alternately. Specifically, this embodiment takes a four-layer hanging rod arrangement as an example. From top to bottom, there are four hanging rods 7 on the first and third layers, and three hanging rods 7 on the second and fourth layers. The four hanging rods 7 on the first layer and the three hanging rods 7 on the second layer are staggered, and the four hanging rods 7 on the third layer and the three hanging rods 7 on the fourth layer are also staggered. This offsetting arrangement between adjacent layers of hanging rods 7 effectively reduces interference during the drying process of the hanging utensils. The hanging plates 7 are all tilted upwards, which makes it easier to hang the utensils and provides restraint, making the hanging of the utensils more stable.
[0039] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a drain groove 8 is provided below each layer of hanging rod 7, and the groove opening 802 of the drain groove 8 is set upward. A drainage unit is connected to one side of the multi-layer drain groove 8. The drainage unit can drain the water stains in the drain groove 8. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drainage unit is located on one side of the drain groove 8. The drainage unit includes a water guide pipe 9. The water guide pipe 9 is set vertically, and the multi-layer drain groove 8 is connected to the water guide pipe 9. A drain hole 901 is opened at the bottom of the water guide pipe 9. In this embodiment, the water guide pipe 9 is located on the left side of the drain groove 8. A connecting pipe 801 is connected to the left side of the drain groove 8. Multiple through holes are opened on the side of the water guide pipe 9 facing the drain groove 8, which are directly opposite to the multi-layer drain groove 8. The connecting pipe 801 passes through the through hole, so that the connecting pipe 801 is connected to the water guide pipe 9.
[0040] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the drain rack 4 is fixedly connected to a shelf 6 that is perpendicular to it. The shelf 6 increases the storage space of the drain rack 4, making it convenient to place cleaning tools and other items on the shelf 6. In this embodiment, the shelf 6 and the drain rack 4 are integrally formed. In this embodiment, a support platform 5 is vertically fixedly connected to the bottom of the shelf 6. The support platform 5 is welded, screwed, or integrally formed with the shelf 6.
[0041] In this embodiment, the drain rack 4 is fixedly installed on the laboratory workbench 1 by the support platform 5. In this embodiment, the support platform 5 is fixed to the workbench 1 by bolts. The workbench 1 is equipped with a water tank 2 and a washing pipe 3. After the utensils are washed in the water tank 2, they are hung upside down on the hanging rod 7 to dry. The water stains flowing out of the utensils will flow into the corresponding drain tank 8. The water in the drain tank 8 then enters the water guide pipe 9 through the connecting pipe 801, and finally is collected and discharged from the drain hole 901 at the bottom of the water guide pipe 9.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the drain trough 8 is inclined, and the connecting pipe 801 is connected to the lowest point of the bottom of the drain trough 8, which makes it easier to guide as much water as possible from the drain trough 8 into the water guide pipe 9.
[0043] In this embodiment, a guide hole 601 is provided on the platform 6, which communicates with the drain hole 901 at the bottom of the water guide pipe 9. A connector 10 is welded and fixed to the lower part of the guide hole 601. The connector 10 is hollow inside and communicates with the guide hole 601. The lower part of the connector 10 extends out of the guide hole 601, and combines with... Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, a drain pipe 11 is connected to the connector 10. The drain pipe 11 is a flexible hose. The flexible hose can be fixed to the connector 10 by wrapping it with wire, or by connecting a threaded head to one end of the flexible hose, so that the flexible hose is threadedly connected to the connector 10 through the threaded head. The flexible hose facilitates the drainage and collection of water in the water pipe 9, such as by guiding it into the water tank 2 on the workbench 1 for discharge.
[0044] Example 2, the difference between this example and Example 1 is as follows: Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the drainage unit includes multiple support rods 16. In this embodiment, there are three support rods 16. The support rods 16 are hollow inside, and both ends of the support rods 16 are connected to two adjacent drainage troughs 8 in the upper and lower layers, respectively. Specifically, the bottom of the drainage trough 8 is connected to a connecting pipe 801, and the top of the drainage trough 8 has a stepped hole 803 that connects to its interior. The stepped hole 803 and the connecting pipe 801 are arranged vertically opposite each other. One end of the support rod 16 is threadedly connected to the connecting pipe 801 of the upper drainage trough 8, and the other end of the support rod 16 is inserted into the stepped hole 803 of the lower drainage trough 8, thereby realizing the detachable connection between the support rod 16 and the drainage trough 8. The multiple support rods 16 connect the multiple layers of drainage troughs 8, which facilitates the collection and discharge of liquid.
[0045] In this embodiment, the connecting pipe 801 at the bottom of the lowest drain trough 8 is connected to a drain pipe 11. The drain pipe 11 is a flexible hose, through which the water flowing out of the drain trough 8 is discharged to a designated location, such as the water tank 2.
[0046] In this embodiment, the drain groove 8 and the drain rack 4 are detachably connected, and the drain groove 8 and the drain rack 4 are horizontally slidably connected. Specifically, in this embodiment, four layers of through grooves are provided on the drain rack 4, and the four drain grooves 8 are inserted into the four layers of through grooves in sequence, and the four drain grooves 8 can slide out horizontally in the four layers of through grooves respectively.
[0047] In this embodiment, the opening 802 of the drain trough 8 extends outward from the outside of the through groove and is located below the hanging rod 7. This embodiment of a utensil drain rack also includes a connector 12. The connector 12 in this embodiment is rectangular in shape, and one end of each of the multi-layer drain troughs 8 is connected to the connector 12. In this embodiment, one side of the drain trough 8 is detachably connected to the connector 12, for example, by means of bolts, facilitating disassembly and installation. In this embodiment, a handle 13 is connected to the connector 12 by screws, making it easy to pull the entire connector 12, thereby causing the multi-layer drain trough 8 to slide out of the drain rack 4.
[0048] In another embodiment, in practice, a groove 15 can be provided on the workbench 1, and a slider 14 is fixed at the bottom of the connector 12. The connector 12 slides horizontally with the groove 15 through the slider 14, which makes it easier to pull the connector 12. The cooperation between the slider 14 and the groove 15 makes the entire structure fit more precisely.
[0049] In actual use, water from the vessel hanging on the hanging rod 7 enters the drain trough 8 through the slot 802, then enters the support rod 16 through the connecting pipe 801, and finally is discharged to the designated location through the hose from the connecting pipe 801 of the last layer of the drain trough 8.
[0050] When it is necessary to clean or replace the drain tray 8, by pulling the handle 13, the connector 12 will cause multiple drain trays 8 to slide out of the through groove of the drain rack 4. Since the support rod 16 is detachably connected to the drain tray 8, it is easy to disassemble and separate, making it more flexible and convenient to use. The number of drain trays 8 can be adjusted according to the number of hanging rods 7 installed on the drain rack 4 to increase or decrease.
[0051] Example 3, as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 2 is that: the connector 12 has an air inlet channel 121 inside, the air inlet channel 121 is arranged along the length direction of the connector 12, that is, the air inlet channel 121 is arranged vertically, one end of the air inlet channel 121 is connected to the air inlet pipe 17, in this embodiment the air inlet pipe 17 is connected to the bottom of the air inlet channel 121, the air inlet pipe 17 is connected to a fan, the fan provides air force, and the air enters the air inlet channel 121 through the air inlet pipe 17;
[0052] like Figure 6 As shown, each layer of the drain trough 8 is provided with an air guide channel 804 that communicates with the air inlet channel 121; each layer of the drain rack 4 is provided with an airflow distribution cavity 401 corresponding to the position of each layer of hanging rod 7. The hanging rod 7 is hollow inside and has multiple ventilation holes. Each layer of hanging rod 7 is connected to each layer of airflow distribution cavity 401; each layer of airflow distribution cavity 401 is connected to the air guide channel 804 on each layer of the drain trough 8. In this embodiment, the drain rack 4 is also provided with an airflow connecting channel 402. The two ends of the airflow connecting channel 402 are connected to the airflow distribution cavity 401 and the air guide channel 804, respectively.
[0053] In this embodiment, each air guide channel 804 is connected to a guide pipe 122 at the end away from the airflow distribution cavity 401. The guide pipe 122 is fixed to the drain trough 8 by welding or bonding. The connector 12 has four through holes that communicate with the air inlet channel 121. The guide pipe 122 on the drain trough 8 is inserted into the through hole on the connector 12, thereby connecting the air guide channel 804 with the air inlet channel 121.
[0054] When in use, by turning on the fan, the air blown by the fan enters the air distribution chamber 401 through the air inlet pipe 17, air inlet channel 121, air guide channel 804 and airflow connecting channel 402. The air in the air distribution chamber 401 then enters each hanging rod 7 and is blown out from the ventilation holes on the hanging rod 7 to blow air onto the utensils hanging on the hanging rod 7, thereby speeding up the drying speed of the utensils.
