Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of pull-out basket technology, specifically relating to hooks and pull-out baskets for attaching water trays. Background Technology

[0002] In daily kitchen use, dishes often retain moisture after washing. If placed directly into cabinet hanging baskets, this residual water can easily drip into the cabinet, causing dampness or bacterial growth. To solve this problem, current technology typically adds a drip tray to the bottom of the hanging basket to collect the dripping water. However, most common drip trays are suspended from the bottom of the basket via hooks, and the hook's upper part for attaching to the basket is usually a horizontally open structure. This design has a significant drawback in practical use: when the user pushes or pulls the basket, the drip tray is prone to horizontal movement, causing the hook to detach from the hanging line on the bottom of the basket, rendering the drip tray ineffective and potentially causing it to fall or be damaged. Furthermore, frequent detachment issues also reduce the user experience. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problem that existing hooks for hanging water trays are prone to causing the water trays to come off, and to provide a reliable hook and pull basket for hanging water trays.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0005] The hook for attaching a water tray includes a connecting body, a hanging part, and a hooking part. The hanging part is located at the upper end of the connecting body and has a hanging slot that opens in a downward inclined direction. The opening of the hanging slot is a hanging opening. The hanging slot and the hanging opening extend through both sides of the hanging part. The hanging opening is located on the inner side of the opposite side in the vertical direction and has an upper guide surface and a lower guide surface, respectively. The hooking part is located at the lower end of the hanging part and is used to hook the water tray.

[0006] Compared with existing technologies, the hook for attaching a water tray in this invention features a downwardly sloping hook slot with upper and lower guide surfaces. This design makes it easier for the user to engage the hook with the hanging line of the basket's bottom mesh when applying downward force. The hook installation is more convenient and stable. Furthermore, because the hook slot is sloping downwards relative to the hanging part, the weight of the water tray ensures a more secure connection, preventing the hook from detaching. This effectively avoids horizontal swaying of the water tray, improving the installation stability and reliability of the water tray, reducing maintenance requirements, and enhancing the user experience.

[0007] Furthermore, the hook-on slot is located on the inner side near the connector; this design makes it easy for the user to attach the hook to the hook-on connector of the bottom net of the pull-out basket from the outside of the basket.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper part of the inner side of the connector is provided with a sliding guide surface, and the lower end of the lower guide surface is transitionally connected to the upper end of the sliding guide surface. The sliding guide surface is a plane or an arc surface. When the sliding guide surface of the connector is in contact with the hanging line of the bottom net of the basket, the user can easily apply downward force to make the hook's hanging slot engage with the hanging line of the bottom net of the basket under the guidance of the sliding guide surface. The user operation is convenient and the hook installation method is simple.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface are both inclined structures, and the inner distance between the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface along the opening direction gradually increases from the inside to the outside; the inner distance between the upper guide surface and the lower guide surface near the outer end is greater than the inner diameter of the hook slot; with this setting, when the hook is installed with the hooking line of the bottom net of the pull basket, it is pre-positioned in the space between the hook slots by the lines, thereby facilitating the user to apply force to install the hook.

[0010] Furthermore, the end of the hook slot near the lower guide surface is provided with a limiting rib arranged in the axial direction; with this arrangement, after the hook slot is engaged with the hook line of the bottom net of the basket, the limiting rib presses the hook line of the bottom net of the basket tightly, effectively limiting the rotation of the hook part relative to the hook line, and the overall fixing effect of the hook is better.

[0011] Furthermore, the opening direction of the hook slot is horizontally inclined downwards [40°, 50°]; the opening angle of the hook slot is [30°, 40°]; by setting it in this way, the hook slot has a large opening angle, which facilitates pre-positioning and matching with the hook wire of the pull basket bottom net.

[0012] Furthermore, the inner peripheral wall of the hook slot includes a circular arc segment and a flat arc segment connected sequentially from the inner end of the upper guide surface to the inner end of the lower guide surface, with the circular arc segment corresponding to an arc degree of [150°, 180°]; or, the circular arc segment and the flat arc segment form a partial elliptical line segment, and the flat arc segment is connected to the inner end of the lower guide surface by a limiting rib; with this setting, the shape of the hook slot is not the same as the shape of the hook line of the pull basket bottom net, avoiding the hook slot and the hook line from easily rotating relative to each other, but rather the hook part is fixed to the hook line without rotation by the interference fit between the limiting rib and the line.

[0013] Furthermore, the connector has reinforcing ribs on both sides that are respectively connected to the hook, and the hook is integrally formed by injection molding and pressure; this arrangement makes the overall structure of the hook stronger.

[0014] Furthermore, the hook is located on the side of the connector that faces the same direction as the hook-on slot; this design makes it easy for the user to attach the hook to the hook-on connector of the bottom net of the pull-out basket from the outside of the basket.

[0015] Furthermore, the hook-fitting part is provided with a hook-fitting groove that opens in an upwardly inclined direction. The hook-fitting groove is used to hook onto the edge of the water receiving tray. With this arrangement, the hook-fitting groove can better hook and fit with the edge of the water receiving tray.

[0016] A pull-out basket includes a storage basket, a drip tray, and several hooks for hanging the drip tray. The storage basket has a rectangular bottom mesh, and a hanging wire is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom mesh. The drip tray is hung on the hanging wire through the hooks for hanging the drip tray so that the drip tray is placed at the bottom of the storage basket.

[0017] Compared with existing technologies, the pull-out basket of this utility model features a downwardly sloping opening in the hook's attachment part, and an upper and lower guide surface is added at the attachment opening. This makes it easier for the user to engage the hook with the hanging line of the basket's bottom mesh when the hook is installed on it, as the user applies downward force. The hook installation is more convenient and stable. Furthermore, because the attachment opening is sloping downward relative to the attachment part, when the hook is attached to a water tray, the weight of the water tray further secures the hook to the hanging line of the basket's bottom mesh, preventing it from easily coming loose. This effectively avoids the water tray from swaying horizontally and coming loose, improving the installation stability and reliability of the water tray, reducing maintenance needs, and enhancing the user experience.

[0018] Furthermore, several hooks for attaching the water tray are arranged on the front and rear sides of the storage basket in the direction of pulling out relative to the cabinet. With this arrangement, when the storage basket is pulled out or pushed in relative to the cabinet, the swing of the hook relative to the hanging body is reduced in conjunction with the limiting rib, thereby reducing the horizontal swaying of the water tray and ensuring good stability of the water tray.

In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper," "lower," "inner," "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0028] Example 1:

[0029] See Figures 1 to 7 The hook 1 of this utility model for attaching a water tray 34 includes a connecting body 11, a hanging part 12, and a hooking part 13. The hanging part 12 is disposed at the upper end of the connecting body 11 and extends out of the left and right sides of the connecting body 11. The hanging part 12 is provided with a hanging slot 14 that opens in a downward inclined direction. The opening of the hanging slot 14 is a hanging opening 141. The hanging slot 14 and the hanging opening 141 penetrate through both sides of the hanging part 12. The hanging opening 141 is provided with an upper guide surface 143 and a lower guide surface 144 on the relatively inner side in the vertical direction. The hooking part 13 is disposed at the lower end of the hanging part 12 and is used to hook the water tray 34.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the hook 1 of this utility model for attaching the water tray 34 has a downwardly inclined hook groove 14, and an upper guide surface 143 and a lower guide surface 144 are added at the hook opening 141. This makes it easier for the user to attach the hook 1 to the hook line 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3 when the user applies downward force. The hook 1 is more convenient and stable to install. Moreover, since the hook opening 141 is set in a downwardly inclined direction relative to the hooking part 12, when the hook 1 is attached to the water tray 34, the hook groove 14 is more firmly connected to the hook line 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3 under the gravity of the water tray 34, and it is not easy to detach. This effectively avoids the water tray 34 from horizontal shaking and detachment, improves the installation stability and reliability of the water tray 34, reduces maintenance needs, and enhances the user experience.

[0031] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the hook-on slot 141 is located on the inner side of the connector 11, which refers to the side of the connector 11 that is close to the water receiving tray 34 when the hook 1 is installed on the hook-on line 32. With this arrangement, the user can easily hook the hook 1 onto the hook-on line 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3 through the hook-on slot 141 from the outside of the pull basket 3.

[0032] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the upper part of the inner side of the connector 11 is provided with a sliding guide surface 15, and the lower end of the lower guide surface 144 is transitionally connected to the upper end of the sliding guide surface 15. The sliding guide surface 15 is a plane or an arc surface. When the sliding guide surface 15 of the connector 11 is in contact with the hanging line body 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3, the user can easily apply downward force to make the hanging slot 14 of the hook 1 engage with the hanging line body 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3 under the guidance of the sliding guide surface 15. The user operation is convenient and the hook 1 is easy to install.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the upper guide surface 143 and the lower guide surface 144 are both inclined structures, and the inner distance between the upper guide surface 143 and the lower guide surface 144 along the opening direction gradually increases from the inside to the outside; the inner distance between the upper guide surface 143 and the lower guide surface 144 near the outer end is greater than the inner diameter of the hook slot 14; with this setting, when the hook 1 is installed with the hook line body 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3, it is pre-positioned in the space between the hook slots 141 by the lines, thereby facilitating the user to apply force to install the hook 1.

[0034] See Figures 1 to 3In one embodiment, the hook slot 14 is provided with a limiting rib 145 arranged in the axial direction at one end near the lower guide surface 144; with this arrangement, after the hook slot 14 is engaged with the hook line 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3, the limiting rib 145 presses the hook line 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3, effectively limiting the rotation of the hook part 12 relative to the hook line 32, and the overall fixing effect of the hook 1 is better.

[0035] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the opening direction of the hook slot 141 of the hook slot 14 is horizontally inclined downward [40°, 50°]; the opening angle of the hook slot 141 is [30°, 40°]; by setting it in this way, the hook slot 141 has a large opening angle, which facilitates pre-positioning and matching with the hook wire 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3.

[0036] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the inner peripheral wall of the hook slot 14 includes a circular arc segment 146 and a flat arc segment 147 connected sequentially from the inner end of the upper guide surface 143 to the inner end of the lower guide surface 144. The arc degree corresponding to the circular arc segment 146 is [150°, 180°]. Alternatively, the circular arc segment 146 and the flat arc segment 147 form a partial elliptical line segment, and the flat arc segment 147 is connected to the inner end of the lower guide surface 144 by the limiting rib 145. With this setting, the shape of the hook slot 14 is not the same as the shape of the hook line body 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3, so as to avoid the hook slot 14 and the hook line body 32 from easily rotating relative to each other. Instead, the hook part 12 is fixed to the hook line body 32 in a non-rotatable manner by the interference fit between the limiting rib 145 and the line.

[0037] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the connecting body 11 is provided with reinforcing ribs 16 on both sides, which are respectively connected to the hook part 12, and the hook 1 is integrally formed by injection molding and pressure; this arrangement makes the overall structural strength of the hook 1 better.

[0038] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the hook portion 13 is disposed on the side of the connector 11 in the same direction as the hooking slot 141; with this arrangement, the user can easily hook the hook 1 onto the hooking line body 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull basket 3 through the hooking slot 141 from the outside of the pull basket 3.

[0039] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the hooking part 13 is provided with a hooking groove 131 that opens in an upwardly inclined direction. The hooking groove 131 is used to hook the edge of the water receiving tray 34. With this arrangement, the hooking groove 131 can better hook and cooperate with the edge of the water receiving tray 34.

[0040] Example 2:

[0041] See Figures 1 to 7 The main purpose of this embodiment is to provide a pull basket 3 for hanging a water tray 34 using the hook 1 of the first embodiment, including a storage basket 33, a water tray 34 and a plurality of hooks 1 for hanging the water tray 34. The storage basket 33 is provided with a rectangular bottom net 31, and a hanging line body 32 is provided on the outer periphery of the bottom net 31. The water tray 34 is hung on the hanging line body 32 by the hooks 1 for hanging the water tray 34 so that the water tray 34 is placed at the bottom of the storage basket 33.

[0042] Compared with the prior art, the pull-out basket 3 of this utility model has a downwardly inclined hook groove 14 on the hook 1's hooking part 12, and an upper guide surface 143 and a lower guide surface 144 are added at the hook groove 141. This makes it easier for the user to attach the hook 1 to the hooking line 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull-out basket 3 when the user applies downward force. The hook 1 is more convenient and more stable to install. Moreover, since the hook groove 141 is set in a downwardly inclined direction relative to the hooking part 12, when the hook 1 is attached to the water tray 34, the hook groove 14 is more firmly connected to the hooking line 32 of the bottom net 31 of the pull-out basket 3 under the gravity of the water tray 34, and it is not easy to get the hook off. This effectively avoids the water tray 34 from shaking horizontally and getting off, improving the installation stability and reliability of the water tray 34, reducing maintenance needs, and improving the user experience.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 7 In one embodiment, several hooks 1 for attaching the water tray 34 are arranged on the front and rear sides of the storage basket 33 in the direction of pulling out relative to the cabinet. With this arrangement, when the storage basket is pulled out or pushed in relative to the cabinet, the limiting rib 145 limits the swing of the hooks 1 relative to the hanging body 32, thereby reducing the horizontal swaying of the water tray 34 and ensuring good stability of the water tray 34.
