[0036] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0037] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a retractable dish rack, including: a first dish rack 10 and a second dish rack 20 that can be retracted from one side of the first dish rack 10;
[0038] The first drain rack 10 includes a first support member 11, a first drain net 12 fixed to the first support member 11, and a first fence 13 fixed to the first support member 11 and located above the first drain net 12;
[0039] The second drain rack 20 includes a second support member 21, a second drain net 22 fixed to the second support member 21, and a second fence 23 fixed to the second support member 21 and located above the second drain net 22;
[0040] The second drain net 22 is higher than the first drain net 12 in the vertical direction, and the width of the second drain net 22 along the direction perpendicular to the extension and contraction is smaller than the corresponding width of the first drain net 12, so as to avoid interference during the extension and contraction process.
[0041] The first fence 13 has an opening on the side near the second fence 23 to allow it to avoid the second fence 23 during extension and retraction. The two sides of the second fence 23 are fixed with hooks 231. The second fence 23 is slidably hung on the corresponding two sides of the first fence 13 through the hooks 231, so that the second drain rack 20 can slide along the two sides of the first fence 13, thereby realizing the extension and retraction movement relative to the first drain rack 10.
[0042] By using the design of the second drain rack 20 being retractably nested within the first drain rack 10, the overall volume can be significantly reduced when not in use or when stored. Users can flexibly adjust the draining area according to actual needs, which not only meets the draining needs of a large number of tableware, but also minimizes the space occupied on the kitchen countertop or cabinet when stored, reducing storage and transportation costs. The design directly uses the opposite side frames of the first railing 13 as sliding tracks, and works with the hooks 231 on the opposite side frames of the second railing 23 to achieve telescopic guidance and support functions. This design eliminates the complex sliding connectors or customized structures required by traditional telescopic drain racks, greatly reducing the number of parts, simplifying the production process, and significantly reducing the cost of raw materials, processing, and assembly.
[0043] Optionally, the second fence 23 may have an opening on the side facing the first drain rack 10, so that when unfolded, the first drain rack 10 and the second drain rack 20 form a continuous space without physical separation; the second fence 23 may also not have an opening on the side facing the first drain rack 10, so that the first drain rack 10 and the second drain rack 20 form a physical separation, thereby achieving partitioned storage.
[0044] Optionally, the mounting element 231 can be a hook, lug, or buckle, which is easy to manufacture and assemble, reducing material and production costs.
[0045] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first drain rack 10 includes two first support members 11 spaced apart along the extension direction, one of which is located at one end adjacent to the second drain rack 20 and the other is located at one end away from the second drain rack 20, forming a stable support frame; when the second drain rack 20 is extended to its maximum position, the hook 231 abuts against the first support member 11 adjacent to the second drain rack 20 to limit further extension and prevent derailment.
[0046] The second drain rack 20 includes a second support member 21, which is located at the end away from the first drain rack 10. This ensures the load-bearing capacity when extended and avoids structural redundancy. Furthermore, the second support member 21 and the first support member 11 adopt the same structure to reduce the types of parts and lower production and inventory management costs.
[0047] Furthermore, the first drain rack 10 also includes a first water receiving trough 14 fixed to the first support member 11 and located below the first drain net 12, and the second drain rack 20 also includes a second water receiving trough 24 fixed to the second support member 21 and located below the second drain net 22; wherein, the first water receiving trough 14 is provided with an avoidance opening on the side facing the second water receiving trough 24, and the opposite side walls of the second water receiving trough 24 are provided with a hanging structure 241, and the second water receiving trough 24 is slidably hung on the corresponding side walls of the first water receiving trough 14 through the hanging structure 241.
[0048] Optionally, the hanging structure 241 is a hook or hook-shaped groove set on the opposite side walls of the second water receiving tank 24. The hook or hook-shaped groove are mature and simple structures that can be formed by stamping or injection molding. The way the hanging structure 241 cooperates with the upper edge of the side wall of the first water receiving tank 14 is a large-area surface contact or line contact sliding, which has high stability.
[0049] Reference Figure 4 Furthermore, the first water receiving trough 14 has a first limiting flange extending outward on both side walls near the end of the second water receiving trough 24, and the hanging structure 241 has a second limiting flange extending inward on the end near the first water receiving trough 14. When the second drain rack 20 is extended to its maximum position, the second limiting flange abuts against the first limiting flange to limit excessive extension and prevent derailment.
[0050] like Figures 3 to 6As shown, each first support member 11 includes two vertically arranged first columns 111 and a first crossbar 112 horizontally connected between the two first columns 111; the bottom of the first water receiving tank 14 is provided with a slot structure 141 adapted to the first crossbar 112, and the first water receiving tank 14 is detachably engaged with the first crossbar 112 through the slot structure 141, making installation and disassembly more convenient.
[0051] The first support member 11 and the second support member 21 are both made of metal, such as stainless steel / aluminum alloy, to ensure support strength. They are also integrally formed by bending process, which is convenient for mass production. The first water receiving tank 14 and the second water receiving tank 24 are both made of plastic. The first water receiving tank 14 and the second water receiving tank 24 with the slot structure 141 / hanging structure 241 can be directly obtained by injection molding process. They are water-resistant, corrosion-resistant and not easy to rust.
[0052] Reference Figure 6 The bottom wall of the first water receiving tank 14 is a guide slope that slopes from the periphery to the center. A drain outlet is provided at the center of the guide slope, which can quickly collect accumulated water and discharge it in a concentrated manner, avoiding the growth of bacteria from residual water stains in the tank. The second water receiving tank 24 has a drain outlet at one end near the first water receiving tank 14, and the bottom wall of the second water receiving tank 24 is a continuous downward slope from the side away from the first water receiving tank 14 toward the drain outlet. This ensures that the accumulated water in the second water receiving tank 24 can flow naturally into the first water receiving tank 14 through the drain outlet and finally be discharged from the central drain outlet. This achieves the linkage drainage of the two water receiving tanks. The drainage path can still be kept unobstructed during the extension and retraction process, and the extension and retraction functions and drainage functions do not interfere with each other.
[0053] A guide plate 15 is provided below the drain outlet. The guide plate 15 is horizontally rotatably connected to the drain outlet. Users can adjust the water outlet direction by rotating the guide plate 15, so that the drain rack can flexibly adapt to various kitchen layouts and usage scenarios.
[0054] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Under the concept of this utility model, the technical features of the above embodiments or different embodiments can also be combined, the steps can be implemented in any order, and there are many other variations of different aspects of this utility model as described above. For the sake of brevity, they are not provided in detail. Although this utility model 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. These modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
