Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchen storage equipment technology, and in particular to a pull-out basket drainage structure and a kitchen pull-out basket. Background Technology

[0002] In modern kitchen design, pull-out baskets (or dish baskets) used for storing dishes and utensils while also providing drainage have become a common feature. However, the drainage structures of existing conventional pull-out baskets generally have significant design flaws, seriously affecting user experience, efficiency, and hygiene and safety. These flaws are mainly manifested in the following two mainstream structural forms.

[0003] Bottom drainage hole combined with independent water receiving tray structure: This structure has a drainage hole in the bottom plate of the pull-out basket, and a pull-out water receiving tray is set below to catch dripping water.

[0004] The process is cumbersome and inconvenient: When emptying the water tray, users must perform a horizontal lifting and lowering operation. This process usually cannot be done by feel; users must bend over, keep their eyes fixed on the structural components, and slowly remove the tray. After emptying the water, they must then painstakingly and precisely reinstall it in its original position. The entire process is time-consuming and laborious, resulting in a very poor user experience.

[0005] The water level is difficult to observe: it is impossible to visually determine how much water is in the drip tray. Users have to rely on experience to guess, or are forced to bend down and look closely to observe and sense the water level, lacking a convenient visual feedback mechanism.

[0006] Shallow tray designs are prone to spillage: Due to the limited vertical space between the bottom of the pull-out basket and the lower pull-out basket (or the cabinet bottom), drip trays are usually designed to be very shallow. If designed too deep, they would encroach on the valuable pull-out space below. The fatal flaw of shallow tray designs is that if there is even a little water, it must be removed with extreme care, otherwise water is very likely to spill; even when pulling out the pull-out basket in daily life, it must be operated slowly and steadily to prevent shaking from causing water in the tray to spill into the cabinet interior.

[0007] II. Drainage rack with integrated water tray structure: This structure integrates the water tray directly into the bottom of the rack inside the pull-out basket to support the dishes.

[0008] The drainage process is extremely cumbersome: To empty the water from the integrated drip tray, users must first remove all the dishes and utensils placed on top of it. This is not only a complicated process, but the removed items are also difficult to stack haphazardly to maintain hygiene. However, not stacking them requires a lot of extra countertop space, making the process extremely inconvenient and prone to secondary contamination.

[0009] A damp environment poses significant risks: If water is not drained promptly, the inside of the pull-out basket will remain highly humid for an extended period. This damp environment easily breeds bacteria and mold, seriously threatening tableware hygiene and user health. Furthermore, a prolonged damp environment can corrode, rust, or deform components that should be used in a dry environment, such as the cabinet material, metal rails, and basket itself, significantly shortening their lifespan.

[0010] In summary, existing conventional pull-out basket drainage structures generally suffer from several core defects, including poor user experience (requiring bending over and cumbersome procedures), difficulty in detecting water accumulation, easy spillage, inconvenient cleaning and drainage (requiring emptying items), and a tendency to cause internal dampness leading to hygiene hazards and component damage. These drawbacks severely restrict the practicality and user satisfaction of pull-out basket products. Therefore, there is an urgent need in this field for a pull-out basket drainage structure that can effectively solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0011] The purpose of this utility model is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the existing technology and to provide a pull-out basket drainage structure and a kitchen pull-out basket.

[0012] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a pull-out basket drainage structure, including a pull-out basket body, wherein a guide slope extending from high to low is provided on the bottom plate of the pull-out basket body, and a detachable water-absorbing component is provided at the end low point of the guide slope for absorbing and storing residual water flowing along the slope.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the terminal low point of the guide slope is located on the pull plate side of the pull basket body near the user operation side.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, a water collection trough is provided at the end low point of the guide slope, and the water suction component is embedded in the water collection trough.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of this utility model, the water collection tank includes a flow-guiding slope connected to the end of the flow-guiding slope and a horizontally extending water collection bottom surface. The water suction component is placed on the water collection bottom surface and a flow-guiding port is formed between the side wall of the water suction component and the flow-guiding slope.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pull-out basket body includes a frame surrounding the left, right and rear sides of the base plate and a pull plate disposed on the front side of the pull-out basket body; the two extended ends of the frame are respectively connected to the two sides of the pull plate to form a frame structure.

[0017] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the side walls of the frame are provided with a plurality of ventilation holes.

[0018] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the water-absorbing component is a water-absorbing sponge strip.

[0019] A kitchen pull-out basket includes a drain structure, wherein the kitchen pull-out basket is removably installed inside a cabinet.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] Physical water-locking mechanism: Residual water is directed to the terminal water-absorbing component via a flow ramp, where it is actively absorbed and stored by the absorbent material. This completely eliminates the cumbersome process of picking up and emptying water from the traditional water tray and avoids bending over.

[0022] Standing visual operation: The lowest point of the guide ramp and the water-absorbing component are located inside the pull plate. When the user pulls out the basket body, they can directly face the operation window. They can observe the saturation and replace the water-absorbing component without bending over or emptying the dishes. They can easily take out the water-absorbing component, squeeze out the water, and put it back to complete the drainage operation of the basket. It is simple, fast and efficient, with a visual operation experience that is comfortable and natural. Attached Figure Description
