[0064] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0065] The lack of a designated area for knives and other cutlery in dishwasher racks presents several problems for users. Typically, users place knives flat on the wine glass or spoon racks. While this works, the knives can easily scratch the racks, causing the powder coating on the wire mesh to peel off, accelerating corrosion and rust, and shortening the dishwasher's lifespan. Furthermore, this method takes up considerable space, making it difficult to properly place other kitchen utensils or tableware, affecting washing efficiency. It also lacks safety features, as knives can easily slip during the washing process.

[0066] In view of this, the shelf assembly provided by this utility model includes a first support, which includes a mounting base and at least two blocking parts spaced apart from the mounting base. Adjacent blocking parts form a blocking groove with the mounting base, and a knife can be placed in the blocking groove, so that there is an area for placing the knife in the receiving cavity, which solves the problem of knife placement. The blocking part includes an insert and a protective shell covering the insert. The protective shell can effectively protect the insert and prevent the knife from scratching the powder layer on the surface of the insert when it is placed, making it safer and more convenient to use.

[0067] The shelf assembly and dishwasher provided in the embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0068] refer to Figure 1 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a shelf assembly, including: a shelf 10 and a first support 20. The shelf 10 has a receiving cavity 11, and the first support 20 is disposed within the receiving cavity 11. (Refer to...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first bracket 20 includes a mounting base 21 and at least two blocking portions 22 spaced apart from the mounting base 21. Two adjacent blocking portions 22 form a blocking groove 224 with the mounting base 21. The blocking portion 22 includes an insert 221 and a protective shell 222 wrapped around the insert 221.

[0069] The shelf assembly provided in this embodiment includes a first support 20, which includes a mounting base 21 and at least two blocking portions 22 spaced apart from the mounting base 21. Two adjacent blocking portions 22 form a blocking groove 224 with the mounting base 21, and a knife can be placed in the blocking groove 224, so that there is an area for placing the knife in the receiving cavity 11, which solves the problem of knife placement. The blocking portion 22 includes an insert 221 and a protective shell 222 covering the insert 221. The protective shell 222 can effectively protect the insert 221 and prevent the knife from scratching the powder layer on the surface of the insert 221 when placing the knife, making it safer and more convenient to use.

[0070] Of course, the barrier slot 224 can also be used to place other tableware, such as plates, forks, etc.

[0071] Mounting base 21 is used to mount the first bracket 20. Mounting base 21 can be made of plastic or other durable materials to ensure the stability and durability of the first bracket 20 during use.

[0072] The blocking part 22 is used to ensure that the knife is placed securely on the first bracket 20, preventing the knife from shifting during the cleaning process. This effectively prevents the knife from accidentally slipping or moving during use, thereby improving safety. The first bracket 20 can also be used as a storage rack for kitchen knives and plates, ensuring that knives or plates are safely stored when not in use.

[0073] refer to Figure 4 As shown, the first bracket 20 is used to support the knife, which includes a kitchen knife 40. The kitchen knife 40 includes a blade 41 and a handle 42. When placed, the blade 41 has its cutting edge facing down and its back facing up. This not only improves safety and prevents the blade from accidentally injuring the user, but also ensures that even if the knife scratches the mounting base 21, it will not affect the rust prevention performance of the shelf 10.

[0074] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the blocking part 22 can be cylindrical or rectangular.

[0075] In one possible implementation, the insert 221 can be made of metal, such as stainless steel or iron wire. The protective shell 222 can be made of plastic. By providing the insert 221, the strength of the blocking part 22 can be effectively improved, preventing problems such as breakage of the blocking part 22.

[0076] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the protective shell 222 has a protective cavity 2221 inside. The first end of the protective shell 222 is connected to the mounting base 21, and the second end of the protective shell 222 is a closed end. The insert 221 is disposed inside the protective cavity 2221. This structure allows the protective shell 222 to effectively insert the insert 221 from all directions, effectively preventing the cutting tool from contacting the insert 221 and causing scratches on the coating on the surface of the insert 221, thereby preventing the insert 221 from being corroded or rusted.

[0077] In one possible implementation, the first end of the protective shell 222 may be integrally formed and connected to the mounting base 21, and the second end of the protective shell 222 is a closed end, that is, the second end of the protective shell 222 is completely closed to prevent the end of the insert 221 away from the mounting base 21 from being exposed, thus avoiding the influence of the external environment.

[0078] In one possible implementation, the insert 221 is detachably disposed within the protective cavity 2221. The insert 221 can be inserted into the protective cavity 2221 from the first end of the protective shell 222 to achieve the installation of the insert 221.

[0079] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the shelf 10 includes a first connecting rod 12 and a second connecting rod 13 arranged in an alternating manner, for reference... Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the bottom of the mounting base 21 is provided with a snap-fit ​​part 211 and a stop groove 212. The snap-fit ​​part 211 engages with the first connecting rod 12; the second connecting rod 13 is embedded in the stop groove 212. Through the snap-fit ​​part 211 and the stop groove 212, a stable connection effect is achieved for the mounting base 21, preventing the first bracket 20 from loosening or shifting during use. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​design facilitates quick installation and disassembly without the need for additional tools or fasteners, thereby improving installation efficiency and convenience.

[0080] The shelf 10 is used to place various tableware and kitchen utensils. The staggered first connecting rod 12 and second connecting rod 13 make the shelf 10 form a grid-like mesh structure, which facilitates water flow through the mesh into the receiving cavity 11 to rinse the tableware placed in the receiving cavity 11, ensuring the cleaning effect. It also helps to improve the load-bearing capacity of the shelf 10, prevents the shelf 10 from bending or deforming when bearing heavy objects, and improves the stability and durability of the shelf 10.

[0081] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the included angle between the first connecting rod 12 and the second connecting rod 13 can be 90°, or it can be 30°, 45°, 70°, etc.

[0082] In one possible implementation, the plurality of first connecting rods 12 and the plurality of second connecting rods 13 may be connected to each other by welding to provide a stable support effect.

[0083] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the snap-fit ​​part 211 engages with the first connecting rod 12. The shape and size of the snap-fit ​​part 211 match the first connecting rod 12 to ensure a tight connection. The design flexibility is high; simply select the appropriate shape and size of the snap-fit ​​part 211 based on the size and shape of the first connecting rod 12.

[0084] The stop groove 212 can be an arc-shaped groove. The second connecting rod 13 is embedded in the stop groove 212 to provide a stable support effect. The shape and size of the stop groove 212 can be selected according to the size and shape of the second connecting rod 13, which has a high degree of design flexibility.

[0085] In one possible implementation, the snap-fit ​​part 211 has a snap-fit ​​groove 2111, which communicates with the stop groove 212. The first connecting rod 12 is embedded in the snap-fit ​​groove 2111. The protective shell 222 has a protective cavity 2221, which communicates with the snap-fit ​​groove 2111. This is to facilitate the installation of the insert 221. The opening at the bottom of the protective cavity 2221 is located in the snap-fit ​​groove 2111, and the insert 221 can be installed into the protective cavity 2221 from the opening at the bottom of the protective cavity 2221.

[0086] The opening of the snap-fit ​​groove 2111 is located at the bottom end of the snap-fit ​​part 211. The first connecting rod 12 enters the snap-fit ​​groove 2111 through the opening. Through the clamping action of the snap-fit ​​part 211 on the first connecting rod 12, the snap-fit ​​part 211 is stably engaged with the first connecting rod 12, thus completing the vertical movement limit of the first bracket 20.

[0087] In one possible implementation, the second connecting rod 13 is embedded in the stop groove 212. The stop groove 212 blocks the second connecting rod 13, limiting the installation position of the first bracket 20 in the shelf 10. This effectively prevents the first bracket 20 from moving axially along the first connecting rod 12 and from rotating circumferentially along the first connecting rod 12, thus ensuring the stability of the first bracket 20 installation.

[0088] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the mounting base 21 also includes a limiting protrusion 213 located within the barrier groove 224 to divide the bottom of the barrier groove 224 into a first area and a second area. The tool can abut against the limiting protrusion 213, which provides additional support and stability, further defining the position of the tool within the barrier groove 224 and preventing unnecessary movement or displacement of the tool within the barrier groove 224, thereby better fixing the position of the tool.

[0089] In one possible implementation, the limiting protrusion 213 can be an integral structure formed and connected to the mounting base 21, or it can be connected to the mounting base 21 by means of adhesive or other methods.

[0090] refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, when the blade is placed in the barrier groove 224, the blade edge of the blade 41 faces downward, the side of the blade edge can abut against the limiting protrusion 213, and the back of the blade 41 can abut against the blocking part 22, ensuring the stability of the blade placement, preventing the blade from moving during the washing process, and improving the safety of using the dishwasher.

[0091] refer to Figure 10As shown, when no knife is placed inside the barrier groove 224, it can also be used to place other tableware, such as plates, thereby enhancing the use of the first support 20 and making it more convenient, safer, and space-saving to place the knife in the dishwasher.

[0092] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the first bracket 20 also includes a rib 23, which is connected between the protective shell 222 and the mounting base 21. The rib 23 enhances the structural strength and stability of the protective shell 222, prevents the protective shell 222 from deforming or being damaged during use, and improves the support effect of the protective shell 222 on the tool.

[0093] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the blocking portion 22 is inclined along the arrangement direction of at least two blocking portions 22. This structure allows the knife to be placed at an angle along with the blocking portion 22 when placed in the blocking groove 224. This optimizes the contact angle between the water flow and the knife, allowing more water to reach the surface of the knife, thus helping to remove dirt and residue and improving the cleaning effect. In addition, placing the knife at an angle effectively saves the space occupied by the knife, allowing more kitchen utensils or tableware in the receiving cavity 11 to be effectively cleaned.

[0094] In one possible implementation, multiple blocking parts 22 are spaced apart from each other. A blocking groove 224 that can accommodate plates or knives is formed between every two adjacent blocking parts 22. By providing multiple blocking parts 22, multiple blocking grooves 224 can be formed, allowing the shelf assembly to accommodate more knives or plates and improving ease of use.

[0095] The blocking portion 22 is inclined along the arrangement direction of at least two blocking portions 22, meaning that the blocking portion 22 is not perpendicular to the mounting base 21. The inclined blocking portion 22 can provide better support and stability, and helps to make more efficient use of space, especially in situations where a compact design is required. It allows knives or plates to be better arranged and positioned in a limited space.

[0096] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, there are at least two first supports 20, which are spaced apart from each other to improve the stability of supporting the knife or plate. The at least two first supports 20 can be spaced apart from each other along a first direction, wherein the first direction can be the length direction of the knife.

[0097] In one possible implementation, the number of first supports 20 can be 3, 4 or more, and the spacing between any two adjacent first supports 20 can be equal or unequal. By setting multiple first supports 20, the support effect on the tool can be improved.

[0098] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the shelf assembly also includes a second bracket 30, which is arranged at intervals with the first bracket 20 along a first direction. The second bracket 30 has a tool holder limiting groove 311 recessed into the bottom of the receiving cavity 11, and the position of the tool holder limiting groove 311 corresponds to the position of the blocking groove 224 along the first direction. The first direction is the length direction of the tool. Figure 6 The arrow X in the diagram indicates the direction. The tool holder limiting groove 311 is used to accommodate the tool holder 42 and prevent the tool from moving during storage.

[0099] When the tool is placed in the barrier groove 224, the first bracket 20 is used to support the blade 41, and the second bracket 30 is used to support the tool holder 42. The tool holder 42 can be located in the tool holder limiting groove 311 and is stably supported by the second bracket 30. The tool holder limiting groove 311 can prevent the tool holder 42 from shifting, which is beneficial to improve the overall stability of the tool during cleaning and prevent the tool from falling off.

[0100] In one possible implementation, the spacing between the second support 30 and the first support 20 can be selected according to the size and shape of different tools to accommodate various types of tools.

[0101] In one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 6 As shown, the second bracket 30 includes a support body 31 and support legs 32 connected to both ends of the support body 31. The tool holder limiting groove 311 is located inside the support body 31, and the support legs 32 are connected to the shelf 10. The second bracket 30 can provide stable support for the tool holder, ensuring the stability of the tool placement.

[0102] In one possible implementation, the outriggers 32 raise the support body 31 to match the height of the tool. The support body 31 and the outriggers 32 at both ends can be an integrally connected structure. The outriggers 32 can be used to connect to the first connecting rod 12 or the second connecting rod 13 of the shelf 10, ensuring that the support body 31 can be firmly connected to the shelf 10 and providing additional structural stability.

[0103] In other possible implementations, the support body 31 and the legs 32 at both ends can also be a separate connection structure. For example, the height of the top of the legs 32 extending out of the support body 31 can be adjusted so as to adjust the support height of the legs 32 on the support body 31.

[0104] In one possible implementation, the support leg 32 may be fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 12 or the second connecting rod 13 of the shelf 10 by welding. Of course, the support leg 32 may also be connected to the first connecting rod 12 or the second connecting rod 13 of the shelf 10 by a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0105] This utility model provides a shelf assembly and dishwasher, which has an area for safely storing various knives, ensuring the safety and stability of knife placement and cleaning processes, effectively preventing knives from scratching the coating on the surface of the metal wire, and preventing problems such as rust and corrosion of the metal wire.

[0106] refer to Figure 4 As shown, when the tool is placed in the blocking groove 224, the tool is in an oblique position with the cutting edge facing down. The side of the cutting edge can abut against the limiting protrusion 213, and the back of the tool can abut against the blocking part 22. The tool shank 42 is located in the tool shank limiting groove 311, thus completing the placement of the tool and ensuring the stability of the tool placement. Compared with placing the tool horizontally, it saves more space and has higher safety.

[0107] refer to Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a shelf assembly and dishwasher are provided.
