Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drain rack technology, and in particular to a bowl and plate rack installation structure. Background Technology
[0002] In daily life, many families use dish racks to drain and dry washed dishes and other tableware, preventing them from remaining moist and breeding bacteria or mold. However, existing dish racks are usually designed as a single unit, typically mounted directly on a horizontal bar. For example, invention patent CN110893076A discloses a sink dish rack, including uprights, a horizontal bar, a dish rack, and a bowl rack. The uprights are L-shaped, numbered two, each with two suction cups at its bottom, fixing the L-shaped uprights to both sides of the sink via the suction cups. The horizontal bar is divided into a first horizontal bar and a second horizontal bar, with the first horizontal bar located above the second horizontal bar and both fixed to the uprights. The dish rack and bowl rack are both fixed to the first horizontal bar. The dish rack has a V-shaped dish slot with drainage holes at the bottom. The problem is that installing the bowl and plate racks by supporting the weight on only one side of the crossbar can easily lead to uneven stress, causing the crossbar to deform and bend. It can also cause the entire bowl or plate rack to become unstable and fall due to the weight of the bowls and plates. Secondly, the structure and installation method are relatively simple and occupy a lot of space. Users cannot flexibly combine and assemble them according to actual use. Water dripping from the tableware above can easily wet the tableware below, making it impossible to keep them clean and dry. Utility Model Content

[0043] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.
[0044] like Figures 1-13 As shown, a dish rack installation structure is used for draining tableware, specifically a countertop or floor-standing drain rack. It includes symmetrically arranged frame bodies 1 and several shelves 2 installed between the two frame bodies 1. The shelves 2 are stacked vertically and fixed to the frame bodies 1 with screws, for placing bowls, plates, and other tableware for draining and drying. Specifically, the number of shelves 2 is two or more. The dish rack is installed in a detachable manner, which facilitates production, packaging, and transportation, and its stable structure allows for easy maintenance and replacement of parts.
[0045] like Figure 1 and Figure 13 As shown, the tops of the two side frames 1 are fixed with handles 11 by screws or welding, making it easy for users to lift the dish rack and move it to a suitable position. Specifically, the shape of the handles 11 can be arc-shaped, rectangular, polygonal, etc., all for the purpose of facilitating the user to move the dish rack.
[0046] The bottom of both side shelves 1 is equipped with support feet 12, which are inserted into the shelf 1 from the bottom and fixed with screws. This increases the distance between the bottom shelf 2 on the shelf 1 and the countertop, preventing the shelf 2 from sitting directly on the countertop and allowing debris, water, or insects on the countertop to easily come into contact with the items on the bottom shelf 2 and cause contamination. At the same time, the higher the distance from the countertop, the higher the ventilation efficiency, and thus the higher the efficiency of draining and drying.
[0047] Furthermore, such as Figure 9As shown, symmetrical brackets 13 are provided on the inner sides of the support legs 12 on both sides for mounting the drip tray 14. The brackets 13 are horizontally positioned and integrally formed or welded with the support legs 12. They are used to collect water dripping from the tableware on the upper shelf 2, making it easy for users to clean and keep the countertop clean. Specifically, to make the drip tray 14 more stable, the front and rear ends of the brackets 13 have upward-curving bracket flanges 131, the height of which is higher than the height of the drip tray 14. These flanges limit the front and rear direction of the drip tray 14. The two sides of the drip tray 14 are supported on the brackets 13, and the support legs 12 on both sides limit its left and right direction, thus ensuring that the drip tray 14 is stably mounted on the brackets 13. Even if the user slightly moves the dish rack, the drip tray 14 will not easily shift or fall off. The drip tray 14 can be removed by lifting it over the bracket flanges 131 for cleaning up the accumulated water.
[0048] In this embodiment, as Figure 2 As shown, the shelf 2 includes a first connecting rod 21, a second connecting rod 22, and a connecting block 23 disposed between them. The first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 are spaced apart by the connecting block 23 and form a frame shape. The shelf 2 also includes several storage racks 3, which are installed in the frame in a combined manner, that is, several storage racks 3 are spliced and assembled in the frame. Specifically, the connecting block 23 has an insertion block 231 at each end in the right-angle direction. The insertion block 231 is fixed to the first connecting rod 21 or the second connecting rod 22 on the corresponding side by screws to form a stable rectangular or square assembly.
[0049] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, both the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 have inner grooves 24 on their inner sides for limiting the installation of the shelf 3. The inner grooves 24 extend from one end to the other along the axial direction of the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22, and have openings 25 at both the starting and ending ends. Specifically, the inner grooves 24 are located at the bottom of the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22, and include a top limiting edge 241 and a bottom limiting edge 242 that are distributed vertically and balanced with each other. Specifically, the inner grooves 24 extend horizontally inward from the inner walls of the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 and are integrally formed or welded to the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22. A track is provided between the top limiting edge 241 and the bottom limiting edge 242 for the installation and sliding of the shelf 3.
[0050] Compatible with, such as Figure 3As shown, the shelf 3 has a protrusion 31 on one side corresponding to the first connecting rod 21, which mates with the inner groove 24. The protrusion 31 is located on the outer side of the opposite two sides. Specifically, in this embodiment, the dish rack faces the operator, and the protrusion 31 is located on the front and rear sides of the shelf 3. The shelf 3 is detachably installed with the first connecting rod 21 by inserting the protrusion 31 on both sides into the inner groove 24 on the corresponding side. Specifically, when the shelf 3 needs to be installed in the shelf 2, the shelf 2 is open on one side. That is, the second connecting rod 22 and connecting block 23 on one side are removed, so that the protrusion 31 on the front and rear sides of the shelf 3 is inserted into the inner groove 24 on the adjacent side and slid in the inner groove 24 to adjust to the appropriate position. Then the second connecting rod 22 and connecting block 23 are installed and fixed. The shelf 3 can be installed individually or in multiples to fill the entire shelf 2.
[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, since the dishes have a certain weight, to prevent the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22 from deforming due to long-term weight and to reduce the short service life, a support surface 26 is provided above the inner groove 24 to enhance the rigidity of the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22. The support surface 26 includes a vertical section 261 and a curved section 262. The vertical section 261 is balanced with its corresponding first connecting rod 21 or second connecting rod 22 and extends vertically downward along the top of the inner wall of the first connecting rod 21 or the second connecting rod 22. The curved section 262 is connected to the vertical end of the vertical section 261 and bends in an arc towards the shelf 3 and connects to the outer edge of the top limiting edge 241, making the overall rigidity stronger. To further enhance the rigidity of the first connecting rod 21 and the second connecting rod 22, the top of the vertical section 261 is provided with an outward flange 263. The outward flange 263 is fixedly connected to the top of its corresponding first connecting rod 21 or second connecting rod 22, specifically, it can be welded or integrally formed. During installation, the insertion blocks 231 of the connecting block 23 are inserted into the gap between the support surface 26 and the first connecting rod 21 on the corresponding side, or into the gap between the support surface 26 and the second connecting rod 22, and are fixed in place by screws.
[0052] Furthermore, in this embodiment, as Figure 13As shown, the shelf 3 includes a first drain rack 32 and a second drain rack 33. The length and width of the first drain rack 32 are equal to the length and width of the second drain rack 33, allowing the first drain rack 32 and the second drain rack 33 to be arranged individually or in a cross arrangement. Specifically, on the same shelf 2, the first drain rack 32 and the first drain rack 33 can be combined, or either the first drain rack 32 or the second drain rack 33 can be combined individually, making it convenient for users to categorize and arrange items according to their needs. For example, drained tableware can be placed in the upper shelf 2, and tableware waiting to be drained can be placed in the lower shelf 2, preventing the already drained tableware from getting wet again.
[0053] like Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown, the first drain rack 32 is U-shaped and is mainly used to place plates, dishes, and other tableware with a large diameter and shallow depth. In this embodiment, taking the front of the dish rack as an example, several baffles 324 are arranged horizontally on the front and rear sides of the first drain rack 32. The baffles 324 are vertically arranged and spaced apart by perforated grooves 323. In the middle of the first drain rack 32, between the front and rear baffles 324, several insertion slots 322 are provided. The perforated grooves 323 correspond one-to-one with the insertion slots 322 and are supported and connected by connecting ribs 321. Specifically, the combination of the insertion slots 322 and the perforated grooves 323 can be used for most shapes of plates or dishes on the market, such as round, oval, square, and irregular shapes. In use, the tableware is placed vertically, with its lower part inserted into the insertion slot 322 and its sides inserted into the perforated grooves 323 corresponding to the insertion slots 322, and limited by the baffles 324 adjacent to the sides of the tableware. Furthermore, to make the tableware more stable, the outer walls on both sides of the groove 322 are curved at a certain angle to accommodate the shape of the bottom of tableware such as plates and dishes.
[0054] Furthermore, to facilitate a more compact arrangement and mutual fixation of the first drain racks 32, a first protrusion 325 is provided on one outer wall of the first drain rack 32, and a first limiting groove 326 is provided on the outer wall opposite the first protrusion 325. Specifically, the first protrusion 325 and the first limiting groove 326 are located on the outer walls of the left and right sides of the first drain rack 32. Two adjacent first drain racks 32 are arranged and assembled sequentially through the cooperation of the first protrusion 325 and the first limiting groove 326. During installation, the first protrusion 325 on the left first drain rack 32 is inserted into the first limiting groove 325 on the adjacent first drain rack 32 on its right side, and vice versa.
[0055] like Figure 6 , Figure 8As shown, the second drain rack 33 is mainly used to place bowls, basins, condiment dishes, and other tableware that are deep or small in diameter. It includes a support surface 331 and a drain groove 332. The drain groove 332 is located within the support surface 331, specifically at the center of the support surface 331, and the support surface 331 slopes downwards from all sides towards the drain groove 332 to facilitate the drainage of water from the support surface 331. Specifically, the slope angle of the support surface 331 is 5°-10°, allowing water droplets to flow downwards. In use, the tableware is inverted on the second drain rack 33, and water droplets fall onto the support surface 331 and slide down its surface to the drain groove 332 for outward drainage.
[0056] Furthermore, in order to facilitate a more compact arrangement of the second drain racks 33 and to enable them to be fixed to each other, a second limiting buckle 333 is provided on one outer wall of the second drain rack 33, and a second limiting buckle 333 is also provided on the opposite outer wall. The second limiting buckles 333 on both sides are staggered and spaced apart.
[0057] Furthermore, the second drain rack 33 has a second limiting buckle 333 on each side, and limiting walls 334 are respectively provided on both sides. The second limiting buckle 333 is installed on the limiting walls 334. The second limiting buckle 333 has a slot 335 and a limiting protrusion 336. Two adjacent second drain racks 33 are connected by the second limiting buckle 333 and the limiting walls 334 to make the second drain racks 33 sequentially arranged and installed. Specifically, in this embodiment, taking the front installation of the dish rack as an example, the second limiting buckle 333 is located on the left and right sides of the second drain rack 33. During installation, the second limiting buckle 333 on the second drain rack 33 on the left side is connected to the limiting wall 334 on the adjacent second drain rack 33 on the right side, so that the two are tightly connected, and so on.
[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, a cup holder 4 and a chopstick holder 5 can also be installed on the shelf 2.
[0059] like Figure 12 As shown, the cup holder 4 is equipped with several cup supports 41 for supporting cups. The cup supports 41 are L-shaped with their tops tilted outwards, and their bottoms are connected to hooks for detachably hanging the cup holder 4 onto the first connecting rod 21 or the second connecting rod 22. In use, the cup is placed upside down on the cup support 41 to allow water to drain. Specifically, the tilt angle is 10°-20°.
[0060] like Figure 10 , Figure 11 As shown, the chopstick holder 5 has several cavities 51 with openings at the top for classifying and placing chopsticks, knives, forks and other strip-shaped tableware. The bottom of the cavity 51 has several drainage grooves 52 for forming air convection with the openings at the top of the cavity 51, thereby draining the water inside the cavity 51.
[0061] Furthermore, the bottom of the chopstick holder 5 is provided with a water collection box 53, which includes an outer wall 54, a bottom 55, and a drain outlet 56. The outer wall 54 surrounds the outer periphery of the bottom 55, and the drain outlet 56 is located on one side of the outer wall 54 and is connected to the bottom 55 in a balanced manner. Specifically, in order to facilitate the rapid drainage of water in the water collection box 53 and prevent the accumulation of water and the growth of bacteria, the bottom 55 is inclined. More specifically, the side connected to the drain outlet 56 is inclined downwards, allowing accumulated water to slide down the bottom 55 and drain out through the drain outlet 56. The inclination angle of the bottom 55 is 20°-35°.
[0062] Furthermore, the water collection box 53 and the chopstick holder 5 are detachably installed. The bottom of the chopstick holder 5 has a water collection box mounting cavity 57 with an opening on one side, the height of which is greater than the height of the water collection box 53, and there are inner flanges 58 on both sides of the mounting cavity. The water collection box 53 is inserted into the water collection box mounting cavity 57 and is limited and supported by the inner flanges 58. When cleaning is required, the water collection box 53 can be pulled out.
