[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] The following is for reference. Figures 1-9 A bowl basket assembly 100 according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0030] like Figures 1-2 As shown, according to a first aspect embodiment of the present invention, the bowl basket assembly 100 includes a bowl basket body 10 and a support 20, with the support 20 fixed to the bowl basket body 10. The bowl basket body 10 is a frame-type basket composed of several intersecting rods, and its interior can accommodate plates awaiting washing 200. The support 20 is disposed on the bowl basket body 10 and is mainly used to support the items 200 to be washed, such as plates, baking trays, etc.

[0031] Specifically, refer to Figures 3-4 The support 20 includes supports along a first direction (e.g., Figure 3The support arm 21 extends from left to right as shown. The support arm 21 is configured to support the part to be cleaned 200. The support arm 21 includes a first support arm 211 and a second support arm 212 extending along a first direction. The second support arm 212 is disposed on the first support arm 211 and is movable relative to the first support arm 211 in the first direction to adjust the length of the support arm 21.

[0032] The phrase "the second support arm 212 is movable relative to the first support arm 211 along the first direction to adjust the length of the support arm 21" can be understood as follows: the second support arm 212 and the first support arm 211 together form a structure similar to a pull rod that can be stretched and contracted along the first direction. When the size of the tableware to be supported is large, the second support arm 212 can be moved relative to the first support arm 211 by pulling the second support arm 212 or the first support arm 211, thereby increasing the total length of the support arm 21 to support the larger tableware. When the size of the tableware to be supported is small, the second support arm 212 or the first support arm 211 can be contracted or compressed, thereby moving the second support arm 212 relative to the first support arm 211, thereby shortening the length of the support arm 21. This allows it to support smaller tableware without interfering with other parts of the table, thus allowing more plates to be placed inside the bowl basket body 10.

[0033] In addition, it can be understood that the movement of the second support arm 212 relative to the first support arm 211 is linear motion, rather than rotation, curves or other complex trajectories. This helps to simplify the structure of the bracket 20, improve the convenience of adjusting the support arm 21, and reduce production costs.

[0034] It should be noted that, in the first direction, the second support arm 212 is movable relative to the first support arm 211 along the first direction, and can be adjusted to a variety of different effective lengths to adapt to different working conditions or usage requirements, and can also be designed according to the size of the basket body 10.

[0035] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the dish rack assembly 100 is configured such that the second support arm 212 is movable relative to the first support arm 211 along a first direction, which makes the total length of the support arm 21 adjustable, thereby supporting various sizes and specifications of items to be washed 200, thereby improving the adaptability of the dishwasher and enhancing the user experience.

[0036] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-4The first support arm 211 has a first end 2114 and a second end 2115 in a first direction. The second support arm 212 is movable relative to the first support arm 211 between a retracted position and a supported position. When the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position, the second support arm 212 is arranged between the first end 2114 and the second end 2115. When the second support arm 212 is in the supported position, one end of the second support arm 212 extends out of the first end 2114 of the first support arm 211. It is understandable that when the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position, the length of the entire support arm 21 is the same as the length of the first support arm 211. When the second support arm 212 is in the supporting position, the length of the entire support arm 21 is the sum of the length of the first support arm 211 and the length of the portion of the second support arm 212 extending beyond the first support arm 211. In other words, when the second support arm 212 is in the supporting position, the length of the support arm 21 is greater than that when the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position. That is, when the second support arm 212 is in the supporting position, the length of the support arm 21 is longer, thus enabling it to support larger items to be cleaned, such as the item 200.

[0037] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-4 The first support arm 211 is provided with a first limiting structure 22, and the second support arm 212 is formed with a first limiting part 23. The first limiting structure 22 is adapted to engage or disengage with the first limiting part 23 to unlock and lock the second support arm 212 in the storage position. Specifically, when the first limiting structure 22 engages with the first limiting part 23, the second support arm 212 can be locked in the storage position, making the second support arm 212 fixed relative to the first support arm 211; when the first limiting structure 22 disengages from the first limiting part 23, the second support arm 212 in the storage position can be unlocked, making the second support arm 212 movable relative to the first support arm 211, thereby driving the second support arm 212 to move toward the support position, so that the support arm 21 can become longer, thereby supporting a larger part to be cleaned 200.

[0038] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-4The first support arm 211 is also provided with a second limiting structure 24, and the second support arm 212 is also provided with a second limiting part 25. The second limiting structure 24 is adapted to engage or disengage with the second limiting part 25 to unlock and lock the second support arm 212 in the support position. Specifically, when the second limiting structure 24 engages with the second limiting part 25, the second support arm 212 in the support position can be locked, so that the second support arm 212 is fixed in the support position relative to the first support part, thereby improving the support stability of the support arm 21. When the second limiting structure 24 disengages from the second limiting part 25, the second support arm 212 in the support position can be unlocked, so that the second support arm 212 is movable relative to the first support arm 211, thereby driving the second support arm 212 to retract to the storage position, thereby shortening the length of the support arm 21, so as to support the smaller part to be cleaned 200.

[0039] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-6 The first limiting structure 22 includes a first limiting member 221 and a first spring 222. One end of the first limiting member 221 is hinged to the first support arm 211, and the other end is connected to the first support arm 211 via the first spring 222. The first limiting portion 23 is formed as a first groove. The first spring 222 is configured to always drive the other end of the first limiting member 221 into the first groove. It is understood that the first limiting structure 22 is composed of a limiting member and a spring, and the first limiting portion 23 is formed as a groove. The limiting member, spring, and groove have a simple structure and few parts, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the bracket 20 and the failure rate of the bracket 20 during use.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-6 The second limiting structure 24 includes a second limiting member 241 and a second spring 242. One end of the second limiting member 241 is hinged to the first support arm 211, and the other end is connected to the first support arm 211 via the second spring 242. The second limiting portion 25 is formed as a second groove, and the second spring 242 is configured to always drive the other end of the second limiting member 241 into the second groove. It is understood that the second limiting structure 24 consists of a limiting member and a spring, and the second limiting portion 25 is formed as a groove. The limiting member, spring, and groove have a simple structure and fewer parts, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the bracket 20 and the failure rate of the bracket 20 during use.

[0041] Specifically, when the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position, the first limiting member 221 extends into the first groove under the action of the first spring 222 to lock the second support arm 212 in the retracted position. When it is necessary to move the second support arm 212, the other end of the first limiting member 221 can be driven by external force to move away from the first groove, thereby unlocking the second support arm 212. When the second support arm 212 is in the supported position, the second limiting member 241 extends into the second groove under the action of the first spring 222 to lock the second support arm 212 in the supported position. When it is necessary to retract the second support arm 212, the other end of the second limiting member 241 can be driven by external force to move away from the second groove, thereby unlocking the second support arm 212.

[0042] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the bracket 20 further includes an elastic drive member 26, which is configured to drive the second support arm 212 to move between a retracted position and a supported position. Specifically, the elastic drive member 26 mainly refers to a component that generates driving force through elastic deformation. The structure of the elastic drive member 26 is generally relatively simple and the cost is low. Therefore, by utilizing the elastic drive member 26 to provide driving force for the movement of the second support arm 212 between the retracted position and the supported position, the structure of the bracket 20 can be further simplified, and the manufacturing cost of the bracket 20 can be reduced.

[0043] It should be noted that the types of elastic drive components 26 include various types, such as springs and elastic bands, and no limitation is made here.

[0044] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic drive member 26 is configured to always drive the second support arm 212 toward the support position. It is understood that the elastic drive member 26 is designed to continuously apply a force toward the support position to the second support arm 212, such that the second support arm 212 always tends to automatically move to the support position in the absence of external resistance. This ensures that whenever external conditions permit, the second support arm 212 will be pushed to the predetermined support position by the elastic drive member 26. Therefore, by providing the elastic drive member 26, the reliability and ease of use of the bracket 20 can be improved.

[0045] For example, the elastic drive member 26 is formed as a spring, which is arranged between the second support arm 212 and the first support arm 211. When the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position, the spring is in an energy storage state. When the second support arm 212 is released, the spring drives the second support arm 212 to move toward the support position through elastic deformation.

[0046] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-4 and Figures 7-8The bracket 20 further includes a push plate 27, which is movably mounted on the first support arm 211. An elastic drive member 26 is connected between the push plate 27 and the second support arm 212. The push plate 27 drives the second support arm 212 to move between a storage position and a support position via the elastic drive member 26. It is understood that in this embodiment, the movement of the push plate 27 can drive the elastic drive member 26 to move, thereby enabling the elastic drive member 26 to drive the second support arm 212 to move between the storage position and the support position. This allows the user to trigger the movement of the second support arm 212 simply by pushing the push plate 27, thus making the operation of the bracket 20 simpler and more intuitive.

[0047] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-6 The push plate 27 is movable along a first direction at a first position and a second position. The elastic drive member 26 includes a first elastic member 261, which is connected between the push plate 27 and the second support arm 212. When the push plate 27 moves from the first position to the second position, the push plate 27 drives the first elastic member 261 to undergo elastic deformation. When the first elastic member 261 recovers its elastic deformation, it drives the second support arm 212 to move from the storage position to the support position. It can be understood that this embodiment uses the push plate 27 and the first elastic member 261 to extend the second support arm 212. The structure of the push plate 27 and the first elastic member 261 is relatively simple and easy to operate, thereby improving the operability of the bracket 20 and reducing the production cost of the bracket 20.

[0048] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-6 The push plate 27 is movable along a first direction at a first position and a second position. The elastic drive member 26 includes a second elastic member 262, which is connected between the push plate 27 and the second support arm 212. When the push plate 27 moves from the second position to the first position, the push plate 27 drives the second elastic member 262 to undergo elastic deformation. When the second elastic member 262 recovers its elastic deformation, it drives the second support arm 212 to move from the support position to the storage position. It can be understood that this embodiment uses the push plate 27 and the second elastic member 262 to achieve the retraction of the second support arm 212. The structure of the push plate 27 and the second elastic member 262 is relatively simple and easy to operate, thereby improving the operability of the bracket 20 and reducing the production cost of the bracket 20.

[0049] It should be noted that the elastic deformation of the first elastic element 261 can be either tension or compression, and there is no limitation here.

[0050] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-6The push plate 27 is arranged on one side of the second support arm 212 in the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. A first groove 271 is formed on the push plate 27 in the second direction, and the first groove 271 extends in the first direction. The bracket 20 also includes: a first connecting block 281, which is slidably arranged in the first groove 271 in the first direction; a first elastic member 261 extends in the first direction, one end of the first elastic member 261 is fixed to the push plate 27, and the other end is fixed to the first connecting block 281.

[0051] Specifically, when the second support arm 212 needs to be moved from the storage position to the support position, the push plate 27 first drives the first elastic element 261 to undergo elastic deformation. Then, when the first elastic element 261 recovers its elastic deformation, it exerts a force on the first connecting block 281, which in turn pushes the second support arm 212 from the storage position to the support position. It should be noted that the first connecting block 281 can be directly connected to the second support arm 212, or it can be indirectly connected to the second support arm 212 through other components; no limitation is made here.

[0052] The first groove 271 can guide the movement of the first connecting block 281, limiting its trajectory and ensuring it moves along a predetermined path. This, in turn, limits the trajectory of the second support arm 212 as it moves from the storage position to the support position, improving its stability and accuracy. It should be noted that the elastic deformation of the second elastic element 262 can be either stretching or compression; this is not limited here.

[0053] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-6 The push plate 27 also has a second groove 272 extending through the push plate 27 in the second direction. The second groove 272 extends in the first direction and is spaced apart from the first groove 271 in the first direction. The second support arm 212 has a third groove 2121 extending in the first direction. The bracket 20 also includes a second connecting block 282, which is slidably arranged in the second groove 272 and the third groove 2121 in the first direction. The first elastic member 261 extends in the first direction, and the second elastic member 262 is fixed to the push plate 27 at one end near the first elastic member 261 in the first direction, and the other end is connected to the second connecting block 282.

[0054] Specifically, when the second support arm 212 needs to be moved from the supporting position to the storage position, the push plate 27 first drives the second elastic element 262 to undergo elastic deformation. Then, when the second elastic element 262 recovers its elastic deformation, it exerts a force on the second connecting block 282, which pushes the second support arm 212 from the supporting position to the storage position. It should be noted that the second connecting block 282 can be directly connected to the second support arm 212, or it can be indirectly connected to the second support arm 212 through other components; no restriction is placed here. Since the second connecting block 282 is always fitted within the third groove 2121 and is movable relative to the third groove 2121 along the first direction, the cooperation between the second connecting block 282 and the third groove 2121 can guide the movement of the second support arm 212, thereby improving the movement stability of the second support arm 212.

[0055] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9 The first elastic element 261 is a spring. When the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position, the first connecting block 281 abuts against the end face of the second support arm 212 that is away from the first end 2114 in the first direction. Specifically, when the second support arm 212 needs to be moved from the storage position to the support position, the push plate 27 first drives the first elastic element 261 to undergo elastic deformation. Then, when the first elastic element 261 recovers its elastic deformation, it will exert a force on the first connecting block 281. At this time, since the first connecting block 281 and the end face of the second support arm 212 opposite to the first end 2114 in the first direction abut against each other, the first connecting block 281 will exert a certain pushing force on the second support arm 212, thereby pushing the second support arm 212 to move towards the support position. At the same time, since the first connecting block 281 is not fixed to the second support arm 212, the first connecting block 281 will return to the initial position after the first elastic element 261 recovers its original state, thus effectively avoiding any impact on the recovery of the second support arm 212. In addition, the structure of the spring is relatively simple and the cost is low. Therefore, setting the first elastic element 261 as a spring can reduce the production cost of the entire bracket 20.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 9The second elastic element 262 is a spring. When the second support arm 212 is in the support position, the second connecting block 282 abuts against the inner wall of the third groove 2121 on the side facing the first end 2114 in the first direction. Specifically, when the second support arm 212 needs to be moved from the supporting position to the storage position, the push plate 27 first drives the second elastic element 262 to undergo elastic deformation. Then, when the second elastic element 262 recovers its elastic deformation, it will exert a force on the second connecting block 282. At this time, since the second connecting block 282 abuts against the inner wall of the third groove 2121 on the side facing the first end 2114 in the first direction, the second connecting block 282 will exert a certain pushing force on the second support arm 212, thereby pushing the second support arm 212 to move towards the storage position. At the same time, since the second connecting block 282 is not fixed to the second support arm 212 and slides relative to the third groove 2121, the second connecting block 282 will return to the initial position after the second elastic element 262 recovers its original state. This can effectively avoid affecting the next support of the second support arm 212. In addition, the structure of the spring is relatively simple and the cost is low. Therefore, setting the second elastic element 262 as a spring can reduce the production cost of the entire bracket 20.

[0057] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the push plate 27 is pushed by an external force to move along a first direction to a first position and a second position. When the push plate 27 moves from the first position to the second position, the first elastic member 261 is stretched. That is, the push plate 27 undergoes elastic deformation by pulling the first elastic member 261, thereby causing the first elastic member 261 to do work on the second support arm 212 when it recovers its deformation. It should be noted that the layout of the stretched state is relatively simple compared to the compressed state, and the stability of the stretched state is higher. Therefore, in this embodiment, the first elastic member 261 is stretched when the push plate 27 moves from the first position to the second position, which simplifies the layout of the entire device and reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the entire bracket 20.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this utility model, the push plate 27 is pushed by an external force and can move along a first direction to a first position and a second position. When the push plate 27 moves from the second position to the first position, the second elastic member 262 is stretched. That is, the push plate 27 undergoes elastic deformation by pulling the second elastic member 262, thereby causing the second elastic member 262 to do work on the second support arm 212 when it recovers its deformation. It should be noted that the layout of the stretched state is relatively simple compared to the compressed state, and the stability of the stretched state is higher. Therefore, in this embodiment, the second elastic member 262 is stretched when the push plate 27 moves from the second position to the first position, which simplifies the layout of the entire device and reduces the manufacturing difficulty of the entire bracket 20.

[0059] According to some specific embodiments of this utility model, the first elastic element 261 and the second elastic element 262 are only springs, and are separate from the push plate 27. The spring has a relatively simple structure and low cost, which can reduce the production cost of the entire bracket 20. In addition, since the spring and the push plate 27 are separate, only some parts need to be replaced when the spring or the push plate 27 is damaged, thereby further reducing the maintenance cost of the entire bracket 20.

[0060] According to some specific embodiments of this utility model, the first elastic member 261 and the second elastic member 262 are integrally formed with the push plate 27. This further reduces the assembly steps of the bracket 20, thereby increasing the assembly speed of the bracket 20 and reducing the labor cost of the bracket 20. It should be noted that the first elastic member 261 and the second elastic member 262 are integrally formed with the push plate 27 using elastic plastic parts; no limitation is placed on the plastic material here.

[0061] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-4 and Figures 7-8 An operating part 273 is formed on the push plate 27. In the third direction, the operating part 273 extends out of the first support arm 211, and the operating part 273 is movable in the first direction, with the third direction perpendicular to the first direction. In this way, the movement of the push plate 27 can be controlled by manually controlling the displacement of the operating part 273, thereby improving the convenience of moving the push plate 27 in the first direction.

[0062] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 3-4 and Figures 7-8 The push plate 27 is pushed by an external force and can move along a first direction to a first position and a second position. When the push plate 27 moves from the first position to the second position, it drives the first limiting structure 22 to disengage from the first limiting part 23. When the push plate 27 moves from the second position to the first position, it drives the second limiting structure 24 to disengage from the second limiting part 25. Specifically, when the push plate 27 moves from the first position to the second position, it drives the first limiting structure 22 to disengage from the first limiting part 23, making the second support arm 212 movable relative to the first support arm 211, thereby enabling the second support arm 212 to move from the storage position to the support position. When the push plate 27 moves from the second position to the first position, it drives the second limiting structure 24 to disengage from the second limiting part 25, that is, it removes the limitation of the second support arm 212 in the support position, allowing the second support arm 212 to move relative to the first support arm 211, thereby enabling the retraction of the second support arm 212.

[0063] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 4 and Figure 8The first support arm 211 has a receiving groove 2111 extending along a first direction. The receiving groove 2111 penetrates one end face of the first support arm 211 in the first direction to form an opening. The second support arm 212 is slidably fitted into the receiving groove 2111. In the retracted position, the second support arm 212 is retracted into the receiving groove 2111. In the supported position, one end of the second support arm 212 extends out of the receiving groove 2111 through the opening. The first support arm 211 can guide the second support arm 212, thereby limiting the movement trajectory of the second support arm 212 and improving the stability of the second support arm 212 during movement. At the same time, the first support arm 211 can also store the second support arm 212. When the second support arm 212 is not in use, it can be stored in the receiving groove 2111 of the first support arm 211, thereby improving the overall structural compactness of the support arm 21.

[0064] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9 The first support arm 211 includes a main board portion 2112 and a cover plate 2113. A receiving groove 2111 is formed on the main board portion 2112, and one side of the receiving groove 2111 is an open side in a second direction. The cover plate 2113 is arranged on one side of the main board portion 2112 and is used to cover the open side. The first direction is perpendicular to the second direction, and the first direction is a horizontal direction. In this way, when assembling the bracket 20, the second support arm 212 and the driving component can be assembled in the receiving groove 2111 first, and then the cover plate 2113 can be closed on the open side. This not only improves the overall appearance of the bracket 20, but also improves the ease of assembly of the bracket 20.

[0065] For example Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the push plate 27 is also arranged in the receiving groove 2111, which can further improve the appearance of the bracket 20.

[0066] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 9The bracket 20 includes a base 291 and a movable bracket 292. The base 291 is snap-fitted to the basket body 10. One end of the movable bracket 292 is connected to the first support arm 211, and the other end of the movable bracket 292 is rotatably mounted on the base 291. It is understood that the bracket 20 is detachably connected to the basket body 10. This allows the bracket 20 to be removed when not in use and reinstalled on the basket body 10 as needed when in use, thereby increasing the adaptability of the basket assembly 100. Furthermore, the snap-fit ​​connection between the bracket 20 and the basket body 100 also improves the convenience of connecting and disassembling the bracket 20 and the basket assembly 100.

[0067] In addition, the first support arm 211 is rotatably mounted on the base 291 via the movable bracket 292. That is, the first support arm 211 can rotate circumferentially around the axis of the base 291. In this way, when a large item 200 to be cleaned is placed in a smaller position, the support arm 21 can be rotated at a certain angle first, then placed, and then rotated to the support position. This improves the convenience of placing the item 200 to be cleaned.

[0068] Optionally, the movable bracket 292 extends along a third direction, and a third limiting portion 2921 and a fourth limiting portion 2922 are formed on the movable bracket 292 at intervals along the third direction. Both the third limiting portion 2921 and the fourth limiting portion 2922 extend in a ring around the circumference of the movable bracket 292. The movable bracket 292 has a connecting portion 2924 disposed between the third limiting portion 2921 and the fourth limiting portion 2922. A mounting hole is formed on the base 291, penetrating the base 291 along a third direction. The connecting portion 2924 is rotatably fitted into the mounting hole, and the diameter of the third limiting portion 2921 and the fourth limiting portion 2922 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole. This ensures rotation between the movable parts while preventing them from detaching from the base 291.

[0069] For example Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the third direction is the vertical direction. The third limiting part 2921 is arranged at the lower end of the movable bracket 292. From the top to the bottom, the cross-sectional size of the third limiting part 2921 gradually decreases. Multiple grooves extending in the vertical direction and penetrating the movable bracket 292 in the radial direction are formed at the lower end of the movable bracket 292. The multiple grooves are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the movable bracket 292, and the lower ends of the multiple grooves penetrate the lower end face of the third limiting part 2921. It can be understood that the third limiting part 2921 is formed as multiple buckles with cantilever, which is conducive to the assembly and disassembly of the movable bracket 292 and the base 291.

[0070] Optionally, a limiting groove extending circumferentially around the mounting hole is formed at the opening position on the third-direction side of the mounting hole, and a limiting block is formed on the fourth limiting part 2922, which slidably engages within the limiting groove. This limits the rotational direction of the movable bracket 292, thereby improving its rotational stability. It should be noted that the size of the limiting groove in the circumferential direction of the mounting hole can be designed according to actual conditions; thus, the cooperation between the limiting groove and the limiting block can also limit the rotational angle of the movable bracket 292.

[0071] Optionally, a limiting buckle 2913 is formed on the peripheral wall of the mounting hole, and a limiting groove 2923 is formed on the connecting part 2924. When the movable bracket 292 rotates to the predetermined position, the limiting buckle 2913 is adapted to engage in the limiting groove 2923. In this way, when the first support arm 211 rotates to the support position, it stops rotating, and the support arm 21 is in a fixed state when supported, thereby improving the support stability of the bracket 20.

[0072] For example Figure 5 and Figure 9 As shown, the limiting buckle 2913 includes a cantilever and a protrusion. One end of the cantilever is connected to the protrusion. The cantilever is part of the sidewall of the mounting hole, and the protrusion is connected to the side of the cantilever facing the connecting part 2924.

[0073] According to some embodiments of this utility model, refer to Figures 1-2 The dish basket body 10 has a first sidewall 11 and a second sidewall 12 arranged at intervals along a first direction. There are two supports 20, each connected to the first sidewall 11 and the second sidewall 12 respectively. Two support arms 21 cooperate to support the item 200 to be cleaned. This improves the stability of the supports 20 in supporting the item 200, preventing it from tipping over due to water flow during cleaning, thereby improving the cleanliness of the item 200. Furthermore, in the first direction, the dimensions of the two support arms 21 are adjustable. Thus, when brackets 20 are provided on both side walls of the dish rack body 10 in the first direction, the gap between the two brackets 20 can be adjusted to match different sizes of items to be cleaned 200. For example, when the item to be cleaned 200 is large, the dimensions of the support arms 21 can be shortened to increase the gap between them. This allows the two support arms 21 to support the item to be cleaned 200 while preventing the support arms 21 from being too long and hindering the dishwasher's cleaning effect on the item to be cleaned 200. When the item to be cleaned 200 is small, the support arms 21 can be lengthened to increase the dimensions of the support arms 21 so that the support arms 21 can support the item to be cleaned 200.

[0074] The dishwasher according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a dish rack assembly 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention.

[0075] According to the present invention, the dishwasher can effectively improve its overall performance by providing the dish rack assembly 100 of the first aspect embodiment.

[0076] The following will refer to Figure 1 Figure 9 illustrates a bowl basket assembly 100 according to three specific embodiments of the present invention.

[0077] Example 1, Reference Figure 1 The bowl basket assembly 100 includes a bowl basket body 10 and a support 20. The bowl basket body 10 has a first side wall 11 and a second side wall 12 arranged at intervals in the left and right direction. There are two supports 20, which are respectively connected to the first side wall 11 and the second side wall 12. Both supports 20 include a support arm 21 extending in the left and right direction. The two support arms 21 cooperate to support the baking tray.

[0078] The support arm 21 includes a first support arm 211 and a second support arm 212 extending in the left and right direction. The second support arm 212 is disposed on the first support arm 211, and in the left and right direction, the second support arm 212 is movable relative to the first support arm 211 between a storage position and a support position.

[0079] Specifically, taking the bracket 20 arranged on the left side as an example, the first support arm 211 includes a main board portion 2112 and a cover plate 2113. The main board portion 2112 forms a receiving groove 2111 extending in the left-right direction. The receiving groove 2111 penetrates the right end face of the main board portion 2112 in the left-right direction to form an opening. The second support arm 212 is slidably fitted in the receiving groove 2111. In the storage position, the second support arm 212 is stored in the receiving groove 2111. In the support position, one end of the second support arm 212 extends out of the receiving groove 2111 through the opening. One side of the receiving groove 2111 in the front-back direction is an open side. The cover plate 2113 is arranged on one side of the main board portion 2112 in the front-back direction and is used to cover the open side.

[0080] The first support arm 211 is provided with a first limiting structure 22, and the second support arm 212 is provided with a first limiting part 23. The first limiting structure 22 is adapted to engage or disengage with the first limiting part 23 to unlock and lock the second support arm 212 in the storage position. The first support arm 211 is also provided with a second limiting structure 24, and the second support arm 212 is also provided with a second limiting part 25. The second limiting structure 24 is adapted to engage or disengage with the second limiting part 25 to unlock and lock the second support arm 212 in the support position.

[0081] Specifically, the first limiting structure 22 includes: a first limiting member 221 and a first spring 222. One end of the first limiting member 221 is hinged to the first support arm 211, and the other end is connected to the first support arm 211 through the first spring 222. The first limiting portion 23 is formed as a first groove. The first spring 222 is configured to always drive the other end of the first limiting member 221 to extend into the first groove. The second limiting structure 24 includes: a second limiting member 241 and a second spring 242. One end of the second limiting member 241 is hinged to the first support arm 211, and the other end is connected to the first support arm 211 through the second spring 242. The second limiting portion 25 is formed as a chamfer at the end of the second support arm 212 away from the opening. The second spring 242 is configured to always drive the other end of the second limiting member 241 to abut against the chamfer.

[0082] The receiving groove 2111 has a first receiving groove and a second receiving groove on the inner walls of both sides in the vertical direction. The first limiting structure 22 and the second limiting structure 24 are respectively arranged in the first receiving groove and the second receiving groove. When the second support arm 212 is in the receiving position, the other end of the first limiting member 221 extends out of the first receiving groove under the action of the first spring 222 and extends into the first groove, and the second limiting member 241 is completely received in the second receiving groove. When the second support arm 212 is in the supporting position, the first limiting member 221 is completely received in the first receiving groove, and the second limiting member 241 extends out of the second receiving groove under the action of the second spring 242 and abuts against the chamfer.

[0083] The bracket 20 also includes an elastic element that extends in the left-right direction and is connected between the left side wall of the second support arm 212 and the inner wall of the receiving groove 2111. When the second support arm 212 is in the storage position, the elastic element is in a compressed state and can be used to drive the second support arm 212 to move toward the support position.

[0084] When the bracket 20 needs to support a small part to be cleaned 200, it needs to drive the second support arm 212 to move to the support position. At this time, the first limiting member 221 is moved away from the first groove by external force, so that the second support arm 212 can move relative to the first support arm 211. At this time, since the elastic member is in a compressed state when the second support arm 212 is in the storage position, the elastic member is also released when the second support arm 212 is released. The second support arm 212 moves toward the support position under the elastic reset action of the elastic member.

[0085] When the bracket 20 needs to support a large item to be cleaned 200 or needs to be stored, the second support arm 212 needs to be moved to the storage position. At this time, firstly, the second limiting member 241 is moved away from the second groove by external force, so that the second support arm 212 can move relative to the first support arm 211. Then, the second support arm 212 is manually pushed back to return to the storage position.

[0086] In addition, the bracket 20 also includes a base 291 and a movable bracket 292. The base 291 is snapped into the basket body 10. One end of the movable bracket 292 is connected to the first support arm 211, and the other end of the movable bracket 292 is rotatably mounted on the base 291.

[0087] Specifically, the base 291 includes a snap-fit ​​portion 2911 and a mounting portion 2912. The mounting portion 2912 is cylindrical. The snap-fit ​​portion 2911 is arranged on one side of the mounting portion 2912 in the radial direction and at the upper end of the mounting portion 2912 in the axial direction. A mounting hole is formed inside the mounting portion 2912, and a movable bracket 292 extends into the mounting hole and is movably connected to the base 291.

[0088] The movable bracket 292 is formed as a movable rod, and a third limiting part 2921 and a fourth limiting part 2922 are arranged at intervals along the axial direction on the movable bracket 292. The third limiting part 2921 and the fourth limiting part 2922 both extend in a ring around the circumference of the movable bracket 292. The movable bracket 292 has a connecting part 2924, which is provided between the third limiting part 2921 and the fourth limiting part 2922. The connecting part 2924 is rotatably fitted in the mounting hole, and the diameter of the third limiting part 2921 and the fourth limiting part 2922 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole.

[0089] A limiting buckle 2913 is formed on the peripheral wall of the mounting hole, and a limiting groove 2923 is formed on the connecting part 2924. When the movable bracket 292 rotates to the predetermined position, the limiting buckle 2913 is adapted to fit into the limiting groove 2923.

[0090] According to the embodiment of the present utility model, the dish rack assembly 100 is configured such that the second support arm 212 is movable relative to the first support arm 211 in the left and right direction, so that the total length of the support arm 21 is adjustable, thereby supporting various sizes and specifications of items to be washed 200, thereby improving the adaptability of the dishwasher and enhancing the user experience.

[0091] Example 2, Reference Figure 5The structure of this embodiment is roughly the same as that of Embodiment 1, with the same components using the same reference numerals. The only difference is that the elastic element in Embodiment 1 includes only one and can only be used to drive the second support arm 212 from the storage position to the support position, while the elastic element in this embodiment includes two.

[0092] Specifically, taking the bracket 20 arranged on the left side as an example, the bracket 20 also includes: a push plate 27, which is arranged on one side of the second support arm 212 in the front-back direction, and the push plate 27 is also arranged in the receiving groove 2111; further, an operating part 273 is formed on the push plate 27, and a through hole is formed on one side wall of the receiving groove 2111 in the vertical direction. The operating part 273 extends out of the first support arm through the through hole and is movable in the left-right direction, so as to drive the push plate 27 to move in the first position and the second position.

[0093] The elastic element includes a first elastic element 261 and a second elastic element 262. The first elastic element 261 is connected between the push plate 27 and the second support arm 212. When the push plate 27 moves from the first position to the second position, the push plate 27 drives the first elastic element 261 to undergo elastic deformation. When the first elastic element 261 recovers its elastic deformation, it drives the second support arm 212 to move from the storage position to the support position. The second elastic element 262 is connected between the push plate 27 and the second support arm 212. When the push plate 27 moves from the second position to the first position, the push plate 27 drives the second elastic element 262 to undergo elastic deformation. When the second elastic element 262 recovers its elastic deformation, it drives the second support arm 212 to move from the support position to the storage position.

[0094] Furthermore, a first groove 271 is formed on the push plate 27 in the front-to-back direction, and the first groove 271 extends in the left-to-right direction. The bracket 20 also includes: a first connecting block 281, which is slidably arranged in the first groove 271 in the left-to-right direction; a first elastic member 261 extends in the left-to-right direction, with the right end of the first elastic member 261 fixed to the push plate 27 and the left end fixed to the first connecting block 281; when the second support arm 212 is in the storage position, the first connecting block 281 abuts against the end face of the second support arm 212 on the side away from the opening of the receiving groove 2111 in the left-to-right direction.

[0095] The push plate 27 also has a second groove 272 that runs through the push plate 27 in the front-to-back direction. The second groove 272 extends in the left-to-right direction and is spaced apart from the first groove 271 in the left-to-right direction. The second support arm 212 has a third groove 2121 that extends in the left-to-right direction. The bracket 20 also includes a second connecting block 282, which is slidably arranged in the second groove 272 and the third groove 2121 in the left-to-right direction. The first elastic member 261 extends in the left-to-right direction, and the right end of the second elastic member 262 is fixed to the push plate 27, and the left end is connected to the second connecting block 282. When the second support arm 212 is in the support position, the second connecting block 282 abuts against the inner wall of the third groove 2121 on the side facing the opening of the receiving groove 2111 in the left-to-right direction.

[0096] In addition, when the push plate 27 moves from the first position to the second position, the push plate 27 can drive the first limiting structure 22 to disengage from the first limiting part 23. Specifically, a first clearance groove 274 is formed on the push plate 27. In the left-right direction, the length of the first clearance groove 274 is greater than the length of the first groove. The two side walls of the first clearance groove 274 extend obliquely in the left-right direction, and in the up-down direction, the bottom wall of the first clearance groove 274 extends in opposite directions toward the first limiting structure 22. When the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position, the first limiting member 221 is arranged in the first groove and the first clearance groove 274.

[0097] When the push plate 27 moves from the second position toward the first position, it drives the second limiting structure 24 to disengage from the second limiting part 25. Specifically, the push plate 27 has a second clearance groove 275. In the left-right direction, the length of the second clearance groove 275 is greater than the length of the second groove. The two side walls of the second clearance groove 275 extend obliquely in the left-right direction, and in the up-down direction, the bottom wall of the second clearance groove 275 extends away from the second limiting structure 24. When the second support arm 212 is in the support position, the second limiting member 241 abuts against the chamfered position and the second clearance groove 275.

[0098] Furthermore, both the first elastic element 261 and the second elastic element 262 are springs.

[0099] When supporting a large baking pan, the second support arm 212 is in the retracted position. At this time, the first limiting member 221 extends into the first groove under the action of the first spring 222, the second limiting member 241 is stored in the second storage groove, and the push plate 27 is in the first position.

[0100] When supporting a small baking pan, the size of the support arm 21 needs to be adjusted to make it longer. First, the operating part 273 is manually moved to move the push plate 27 from the first position to the second position. At this time, because the first connecting block 281 abuts against the end of the second support arm 212 furthest from the opening, and the first clearance groove 274 is larger in the left-right direction than the first recess, the push plate 27 only works on the first elastic member 261, causing it to elastically deform. As the push plate 27 continues to move towards the second position, it pushes the first limiting member 221 towards the first receiving position. As the groove moves, the first elastic member 261 continues to undergo elastic deformation. When the push plate 27 reaches the second position, the first limiting member 221 is completely pushed into the first storage groove by the push plate 27, and the second storage groove is completely located on the upper side of the second storage groove. The second support arm 212 is released and pops outward under the elastic reset function of the first elastic member 261. When the second support arm 212 moves to the support position, the second limiting member 241 is released. The second limiting member 241 pops upward under the action of the second spring 242 and abuts against the chamfered position of the second support arm 212, so that the second support arm 212 is fixed relative to the first support arm 211.

[0101] When the second support arm 212 needs to be retracted, the operating part 273 is first manually pushed to move in the opposite direction, causing the push plate 27 to move from the second position to the first position. At this time, since the second connecting block 282 abuts against the inner wall of the third groove 2121 of the second support arm 212 on the side facing the opening, and the length of the second clearance groove 275 is greater than the length of the chamfer in the left-right direction, the push plate 27 only does work on the second elastic member 262, causing the second elastic member 262 to undergo elastic deformation. When the push plate 27 continues to move towards the first position, the push plate 27 pushes the second limiting member 241 towards the second storage groove. As the second elastic member 262 continues to deform elastically, when the push plate 27 reaches the first position, the second limiting member 241 is completely pushed into the second storage groove by the push plate 27, and the first storage groove is completely located on the lower side of the first storage groove. The second support arm 212 is released and moves inward under the elastic reset function of the second elastic member 262. When the second support arm 212 moves to the storage position, the first limiting member 221 is released. The first limiting member 221 pops out downward under the action of the first spring 222 and extends into the first groove of the second support arm 212, so that the second support arm 212 is fixed relative to the first support arm 211.

[0102] Example 3, Reference Figure 9The structure of this embodiment is roughly the same as that of embodiment two, with the same components using the same reference numerals. The only difference is that the first elastic element 261 and the second elastic element 262 in embodiment one are springs, while the first elastic element 261 and the second elastic element 262 in this embodiment are integrally formed with the push plate 27.

[0103] Specifically, the first elastic element 261 and the second elastic element 262 are integrally formed with the push plate 27 through elastic plastic parts. This can further reduce the assembly steps of the bracket 20, thereby increasing the assembly speed of the bracket 20 and reducing the labor cost of the bracket 20.
