[0038] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a telescopic dish drainer, comprising:

[0039] The first drain rack 10 includes a first drain basket 12 and a first water receiving trough 13 disposed below the first drain basket 12;

[0040] The second drain rack 20 includes a second drain basket 22 and a second water receiving trough 23 disposed below the second drain basket 22;

[0041] The first drain basket 12 has an opening on the side near the second drain basket 22. The two sides of the second drain basket 22 are fixed with a hanging piece 221. The second drain basket 22 can be slidably hung on the corresponding two sides of the first drain basket 12 through the hanging piece 221.

[0042] The first water receiving tank 13 has an avoidance opening on the side near the second water receiving tank 23. The opposite side walls of the second water receiving tank 23 are provided with hanging structures 231. The second water receiving tank 23 can be slidably hung on the corresponding side walls of the first water receiving tank 13 through the hanging structures 231.

[0043] Through the sliding design of the hook 221 and the hook structure 231, the second drain rack 20 can be telescopically moved relative to the first drain rack 10, realizing flexible adjustment of the overall size. Users can freely adjust the draining area according to actual needs (such as the number of tableware or the size of the kitchen space), overcoming the limitations of traditional fixed-size drain racks. During the extension and retraction process, the synchronous sliding design of the drain basket and the water receiving tray ensures the continuity of the draining and water receiving functions. Whether it is extended or retracted, water can flow smoothly from the drain basket into the water receiving tray, reducing the risk of water accumulation and bacterial growth.

[0044] Optionally, the side of the second drain basket 22 facing the first drain basket 12 may be provided with an opening, so that when unfolded, the first drain basket 12 and the second drain basket 22 form a continuous space without physical separation; the side of the second drain basket 22 facing the first drain basket 12 may also not be provided with an opening, so that the first drain basket 12 and the second drain basket 22 form a physical separation, thereby achieving partitioned storage.

[0045] Optionally, the mounting element 221 can be a hook, a hanging ear, or a buckle; the mounting structure 231 can be a hook or a hook-shaped groove, which is easy to manufacture and assemble, and reduces material and production costs.

[0046] like Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the first drain rack 10 also includes a first support member 11 for supporting the first drain basket 12 and the first water receiving trough 13. The two first support members 11 are spaced apart along the extension direction, one of which is located at the end adjacent to the second drain rack 20 and the other is located at the end away from the second drain rack 20, forming a stable support frame. 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. When the second drain rack 20 is extended to its maximum position, the hook 221 abuts against the first column 111 adjacent to the second drain rack 20 to limit further extension and prevent derailment. The bottom of the first water receiving trough 13 is provided with a slot structure 131 that adapts to the first crossbar 112. The first water receiving trough 13 is detachably engaged with the first crossbar 112 through the slot structure 131, making installation and disassembly more convenient.

[0047] The second drain rack 20 also 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.

[0048] 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 13 and the second water receiving tank 23 are both made of plastic. The first water receiving tank 13 and the second water receiving tank 23 with the slot structure 131 / hanging structure 231 can be directly obtained by injection molding process. They are water-resistant, corrosion-resistant and not easy to rust.

[0049] Reference Figure 4Furthermore, the first water receiving trough 13 has a first limiting flange extending outward on both side walls near the end of the second water receiving trough 23, and the hanging structure 231 has a second limiting flange extending inward on the end near the first water receiving trough 13; 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] Furthermore, referring to Figures 3 to 6 The telescopic dish rack also includes a third dish rack 30, which includes a dish tray 32 and a third support member 31 located on one side of the bottom of the dish tray 32. The bottom of the dish tray 32 is provided with several reinforcing ribs 321 extending in the telescopic direction. The second water receiving tray 23 has a notch 230 on the side wall near the dish tray 32, corresponding to the position of the reinforcing ribs 321. The reinforcing ribs 321 slide in conjunction with the notch 230. The flat structure of the dish tray 32 is suitable for placing small tableware such as chopsticks and knives and forks, complementing the dish storage function of the first dish rack 12 and the second dish rack 22. The reinforcing ribs 321 enhance the structural strength of the dish tray 32. At the same time, the reinforcing ribs 321 extend in the telescopic direction and are embedded in the notch 230 on the side wall of the second water receiving tray 23, forming a "guide rail" structure, so that the third dish rack 30 maintains linear movement during telescopic movement and prevents deviation or tilting.

[0051] At least one reinforcing rib 321 has a horizontal plate connected to its bottom. The width of the horizontal plate perpendicular to the sliding direction is greater than the corresponding width of the reinforcing rib 321. The bottom of the notch 230 of the horizontal plate is connected to a horizontal groove that fits the horizontal plate. The horizontal groove runs through the sliding direction. The horizontal plate only restricts the vertical degree of freedom and does not affect the horizontal sliding.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 The bottom wall of the first water receiving trough 13 is a guide slope that slopes from the periphery towards the center. A drain outlet is located at the center of the guide slope to quickly collect and discharge accumulated water, preventing residual water stains from breeding bacteria. The second water receiving trough 23 has a drain outlet at one end near the first water receiving trough 13, and the bottom wall of the second water receiving trough 23 slopes continuously downward from the end away from the first water receiving trough 13 towards the drain outlet. The drain tray 32 has a drain outlet at one end near the second water receiving trough 23, and the bottom wall of the drain tray 32 slopes continuously downward from the side away from the second water receiving trough 23 towards the drain outlet. Regardless of whether the drain rack is extended or retracted, the water flow can follow the slope from the drain tray 32, the second water receiving trough 23, the first water receiving trough 13 to the central drain outlet, forming an uninterrupted drainage path. The drain tray 32 has a downward-extending arc-shaped guide plate at one end with a drainage opening. The arc-shaped guide plate is used to guide the flow and also to limit the flow. When the drain tray 32 is extended to its maximum position, the arc-shaped guide plate abuts against the second water receiving groove 23 to limit excessive extension and prevent derailment.

[0053] A guide plate 14 is provided below the drain outlet. The guide plate 14 is horizontally rotatably connected to the drain outlet. Users can adjust the water outlet direction by rotating the guide plate 14, so that the drain rack can flexibly adapt to various kitchen layouts and usage scenarios.

[0054] Reference Figures 5 to 6 The third drain rack 30 also includes a cutlery box 33 disposed on the drain tray 32 and detachably connected to the drain tray 32. The cutlery box 33 has at least two placement chambers inside, which are convenient for storing small cutlery such as chopsticks, spoons, and forks. The placement chambers are provided with drainage holes. Adjacent placement chambers are separated by partitions. At least one placement chamber is provided with a cover, and the cover is provided with a strip hole for storing knives.

[0055] Reference Figure 7 The second drain rack 20 also includes an upper drain basket 24 disposed above the second drain basket 22. Several sleeves 25 are fixed on the inner side of the opposite side frames of the second drain basket 22. The upper drain basket 24 is detachably connected to the sleeves 25 by a support rod.
