Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cabinet accessories technology, specifically to a water drip tray and a liftable pull-out basket. Background Technology

[0002] Electric pull-out baskets typically consist of a drive unit, a lifting bracket, and a storage basket mounted on the bracket. Installed inside kitchen wall cabinets, this structure uses electric control to raise and lower the storage basket, effectively solving the problem of inconvenient access to items caused by excessive height in wall cabinets, and improving space utilization.

[0003] However, when such electrically operated pull-out baskets are used to store kitchen utensils such as bowls, plates, chopsticks, and spoons, a significant problem arises: freshly washed utensils often have water droplets on their surface. If placed directly into the basket, these droplets will drip, creating a damp environment inside the wall cabinet. This can easily lead to bacterial growth over time, affecting the lifespan of the cabinet and overall kitchen hygiene. Therefore, existing technologies typically include a drip tray under the basket to collect the dripping water.

[0004] However, in practical applications, to fully utilize the vertical space of wall-mounted cabinets, pull-out baskets are often designed with a multi-layered structure. This vertical layout results in very limited space at the bottom, restricting the installation space for the drip tray and making its placement difficult. Furthermore, during the lifting and lowering of the basket, the drip tray is prone to displacement, shaking, or even detachment due to movement or vibration, leading to insufficient reliability. Adding a dedicated limiting structure to the basket to prevent shaking would further occupy already limited height space and increase structural complexity.

[0005] Besides installation stability issues, existing drip trays also have significant shortcomings in terms of user experience. Most common drip trays are simple, handle-less, shallow designs. Because they are installed below the storage basket, the operating space is narrow, and users lack an effective point of leverage when pulling them out, resulting in inconvenience and a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0006] The first purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of the imperfect drainage function of existing lifting baskets and to provide a water receiving tray.

[0007] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A water tray includes a tray body and a handle; the tray body has a quadrilateral structure, with two opposite upper edges having a first flange extending horizontally outward; the edge adjacent to the first flange has a second flange extending horizontally outward; the handle includes a clamping part and an extension part extending outward from the bottom outside of the clamping part, the clamping part having a first slot for engaging the second flange; the extension part is located on the side of the clamping part away from the first slot and forms a limiting recess with the clamping part.

[0009] The handle of this utility model achieves rapid assembly of the water tray through the engaging action of the first slot and the second flange. The first flange serves to stably support the water tray body on the guide rails on both sides of the bottom of the pull-out basket. The handle, secured to the second flange of the water tray via the first slot, achieves quick installation and fixation. The extension at the front of the handle abuts against the front of the guide rail after the water tray is connected to the pull-out basket, allowing the user to easily pull the water tray out by pinching this extension. Furthermore, this extension also serves as a shield to cover the guide rails of the pull-out basket, thereby improving its overall aesthetics. Compared with existing technologies, the water tray of this utility model has comprehensive technical advantages, including convenient installation, reliable positioning, effortless pulling, compact structure, and space-saving design.

[0010] Furthermore, the bottom of the clamping part is provided with a shallow protrusion that protrudes downward, which is used to cooperate with the corresponding groove on the guide rail when the water tray is installed in place, so as to realize the horizontal limit of the water tray.

[0011] Furthermore, the depth ratio of the shallow protrusion to the water tray body is 1:7 to 1:10. This proportional design allows the shallow protrusion to have a smaller protrusion height, so that when the user pinches the extension and pulls the water tray outward, its front end only needs to be slightly lifted to smoothly disengage from the guide rail groove, effectively reducing the tilt angle of the water tray during the pulling process and preventing water from spilling due to excessive tilting.

[0012] Another objective of this invention is to provide a lifting basket, including a driving device, a lifting bracket, and a first storage basket. The lifting bracket includes a fixed frame and a movable frame. The movable frame moves longitudinally along the fixed frame under the drive of the driving device. The first storage basket is connected to the movable frame. The bottom of the first storage basket is provided with a drain hole. A water receiving tray of the above-mentioned solution is detachably provided below the first storage basket.

[0013] This invention features a drain hole at the bottom of the first storage basket and a detachable drip tray below it. This allows residual water on the tableware to be effectively collected in the drip tray through the drain hole. Compared with the prior art, this invention integrates the functions of draining and collecting water. The water drained from the tableware is effectively collected in the drip tray, avoiding problems such as cabinet corrosion, bacterial growth, and contamination of lower items caused by residual water dripping directly into the cabinet. At the same time, the detachable drip tray design makes it easy to remove and clean, and convenient to maintain.

[0014] Furthermore, the bottom of the first storage basket on both sides is provided with downward-protruding water tray connecting rails, which are "L"-shaped. The first storage basket is connected to the first flange through the water tray connecting rails. This solution achieves the suspended installation of the water tray by cooperating with the "L"-shaped water tray connecting rails and the first flange of the water tray, making the assembly and disassembly operations simple and quick.

[0015] Furthermore, the first storage basket includes a basket body and end caps located at both ends of the basket body. The end caps are connected to the movable frame via a connecting structure, and the bottom of the end caps has a water tray connecting rail protruding downwards from the basket body. This solution integrates load-bearing, positioning, and water tray installation functions onto the end caps, simplifying the assembly process and improving production efficiency.

[0016] Furthermore, the water tray connecting rail is provided with a rear limiting part at its rear along its length direction.

[0017] Furthermore, at least one second storage basket is connected to the movable rack, and the second storage basket is located above the first storage basket; the bottom of the second storage basket is provided with a drain hole. This solution realizes multi-layer classification and storage of tableware and draining, and solves the problems of complex structure and cumbersome cleaning of multi-layer drain baskets by guiding all the drain water to a single drip tray at the bottom. The structure is ingenious and highly practical.

[0018] Furthermore, the connection structure includes a first mounting part disposed on the movable frame and a second mounting part disposed in the middle of the end cover. The first mounting part is provided with a second connecting groove, and the second mounting part is provided with a second connecting part. The first mounting part is connected to the second connecting part of the second mounting part through the second connecting groove.

[0019] Furthermore, the first mounting portion has a first connecting portion protruding laterally outward, and the second connecting portion is located at the upper end of the first connecting portion. The second mounting portion has a first connecting groove penetrating its bottom and side, and the top of the first connecting groove has a second connecting groove with an opening at the lower end. During assembly, this solution simply requires moving the entire storage basket from top to bottom. During this process, the first connecting portion on the movable frame will first insert into the first connecting groove of the second mounting portion on the end cap, which serves as initial guidance and positioning. As the storage basket continues to move downward, the second connecting portion at the upper end of the second mounting portion is then inserted into the second connecting groove of the first mounting portion, thus completing the final locking.
