[0025] Example 1

[0026] For easier understanding, please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The present invention provides an embodiment of an adjustable metal dish rack for an automatic dishwasher, comprising two plates 1, two first crossbars 11 and two second crossbars 12 fixedly installed between the two plates 1, and a plurality of adjustment mechanisms provided between the first crossbars 11 and the second crossbars 12.

[0027] The adjustment mechanism includes a first sliding cylinder 2, a second sliding cylinder 21, a support rod 22, a first connecting shaft 23, a second connecting shaft 25, and an electric push rod 24. The first sliding cylinder 2 is slidably connected to the side wall of the first crossbar 11, the second sliding cylinder 21 is slidably connected to the side wall of the second crossbar 12, the support rod 22 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the first sliding cylinder 2, the first connecting shaft 23 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the second sliding cylinder 21, the second connecting shaft 25 is rotatably connected inside the support rod 22, one end of the electric push rod 24 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the first connecting shaft 23, and the other end of the electric push rod 24 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the second connecting shaft 25. A slide rod 31 is slidably connected inside the support rod 22.

[0028] It should be noted that the slide bar 31 consists of three bars, with one bar sliding inside the other two bars at both ends. This allows the slide bar 31 to still support the tableware even when the gap between the support bars 22 increases. The slide bar 31 can be used to support the bottom of the tableware. The distance between the two support bars 22 can be adjusted by extending and retracting the electric push rod 24. The distance between the slide bar 31 and the support bars 22 can be adjusted by moving the slide bar 31. This allows for adjustment of the spacing between the tableware in the dish rack, thus accommodating tableware of various sizes and making it more flexible and convenient to use.

[0029] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, a first spring 13 is provided between several adjustment mechanisms. The first spring 13 is fixedly installed at one end of the first sliding cylinder 2 and is located on the side wall of the first crossbar 11.

[0030] It should be noted that by setting the first spring 13, several adjustment mechanisms can be supported, so that the distance between the adjustment mechanisms can be adjusted at will when preventing the use of large tableware.

[0031] In some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support rod 22 is trapezoidal in shape.

[0032] It should be noted that setting the support rod 22 in a trapezoidal shape allows the support rod 22 to better hold the tableware in place.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] In some embodiments, such as Figure 3 As shown, a locking mechanism is provided between the support rod 22 and the slide rod 31. The locking mechanism includes a second spring 33 and a locking block 34. A movable groove 3 is provided on one side of the support rod 22. The slide rod 31 is slidably connected inside the movable groove 3. A movable cavity 32 is provided inside the slide rod 31.

Several locking grooves 35 are provided, and all of the several locking grooves 35 fit into the locking block 34.

[0035] It should be noted that the second spring 33 can be used to support the locking block 34, so that the locking block 34 can be locked into the locking slot 35. Both the locking block 34 and the locking slot 35 are triangular. When placing tableware, the sliding rod 31 can be moved by force to make the sliding rod 31 slide in the movable slot 3. The spacing of the sliding rod 31 support can be adjusted according to the size of the tableware, so that the sliding rod 31 can be locked inside the movable slot 3 without affecting the sliding of the sliding rod 31, thus preventing the sliding rod 31 from sliding randomly.

[0036] The electric push rod 24 in this utility model is a known component and will not be described in detail here.

[0037] Working principle: The sliding rod 31 can be used to support the bottom of the tableware. The extension and retraction of the electric push rod 24 causes the second connecting shaft 25 to rotate inside the support rod 22, which in turn rotates the support rod 22 on the side wall of the first sliding cylinder 2. This allows the distance between the two support rods 22 to be adjusted. When placing tableware, the sliding rod 31 can be slid in the movable groove 3 by forcefully moving it. The distance between the sliding rod 31 supports can be adjusted according to the size of the tableware, thereby adjusting the placement gap of the tableware in the bowl basket and accommodating tableware of various sizes.

[0038] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit them. Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
