Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model particularly relates to a kitchen storage rack. Background Technology

[0002] Kitchen racks, especially dish racks, are indispensable kitchenware in modern homes and restaurants. Traditional dish racks typically have a multi-layered structure, with a common design featuring a large water collection trough or box directly beneath the drain tray to catch dripping water. Because the collection trough needs to cover the entire draining area, its surface area is roughly the same as the drain tray, and it must be placed directly beneath it. This significantly increases the product's height, making it bulky and inefficient. The function of such racks is strictly limited to the single purpose of "draining." The space beneath the draining area is completely occupied by the fixed collection trough, making it unusable for other purposes (such as storing dry utensils or items), lacking functional flexibility and resulting in wasted space. Furthermore, the narrow space between the large collection trough and the drain tray often makes removing and washing dishes inconvenient. Utility Model Content

[0004] A kitchen storage rack includes a frame with upper and lower shelves spaced vertically on the frame. A drain rack is provided between the upper and lower shelves, and a water guide plate is provided below the drain rack. The first end of the water guide plate is rotatably connected to one side of the frame, and the second end is detachably connected to the other side of the frame. Multiple locking positions are provided vertically on the other side of the frame. The second end of the water guide plate can be connected to any of the locking positions by locking devices to adjust the tilt angle of the water guide plate. A water collection box is detachably provided on the lower shelf. Water guide flanges are symmetrically provided on the second end of the water guide plate. Water from the drain rack is guided by the water guide flanges and falls into the water collection box.

[0005] Preferably, the frame includes a first U-shaped frame, a second U-shaped frame, and a third U-shaped frame arranged sequentially at intervals along the horizontal direction. The two ends of the drain frame are respectively fixed on the first U-shaped frame and the second U-shaped frame. The first end of the water guide plate is rotatably mounted on the second U-shaped frame, and the second end is detachably connected to the first U-shaped frame.

[0006] Preferably, one side of the upper plate is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the first U-shaped frame, the second U-shaped frame, and the third U-shaped frame by bolts, and the other side is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the first U-shaped frame, the second U-shaped frame, and the third U-shaped frame by bolts.

[0007] Preferably, one side of the lower plate is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first U-shaped frame, the second U-shaped frame and the third U-shaped frame by bolts, and the other side is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first U-shaped frame, the second U-shaped frame and the third U-shaped frame by bolts.

[0018] A kitchen storage rack includes a frame 1, with an upper shelf 2 and a lower shelf 3 spaced vertically on the frame 1. A drain rack 4 is provided between the upper shelf 2 and the lower shelf 3, and a water guide plate 5 is provided below the drain rack 4. The first end 1-1 of the water guide plate 5 is rotatably connected to one side of the frame 1, and the second end 1-2 is detachably connected to the other side of the frame 1. Multiple locking positions 6 are provided vertically on the other side of the frame 1. The second end 1-2 of the water guide plate 5 can be connected to any locking position 6 through a locking member 7 to adjust the tilt angle of the water guide plate 5. A water collection box 8 is detachably provided on the lower shelf 3. Water guide flanges 51 are symmetrically provided on the second end 1-2 of the water guide plate 5. Water from the drain rack 4 is guided by the water guide flanges 51 and falls into the water collection box 8.

[0019] Furthermore, the frame 1 includes a first U-shaped frame 11, a second U-shaped frame 12, and a third U-shaped frame 13 arranged sequentially at intervals along the horizontal direction. The two ends of the drain rack 4 are respectively fixed on the first U-shaped frame 11 and the second U-shaped frame 12. The first end 1-1 of the water guide plate 5 is rotatably mounted on the second U-shaped frame 12, and the second end 1-2 is detachably connected to the first U-shaped frame 11.

[0020] Furthermore, one side of the upper plate 2 is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12, and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts, and the other side is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12, and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts.

[0021] Furthermore, one side of the lower plate 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12 and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts, and the other side is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12 and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts.

[0022] Furthermore, a pair of fixing seats are symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12 and the third U-shaped frame 13.

[0023] Furthermore, a fixing plate 80 is fixedly provided on the middle section of the second U-shaped frame 12. A first reinforcing rib 81 and a second reinforcing rib 82 are connected to the fixing plate 80. The first reinforcing rib 81 is connected to the first U-shaped frame 11, and the second reinforcing rib 82 is connected to the second U-shaped frame 12.

[0024] Furthermore, a crossbar 9 is provided between the first reinforcing rib 81 and the second reinforcing rib 82, and a hook 91 is provided on the crossbar 9.

[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: like Figure 2 As shown, washed dishes are typically placed on the drain rack 4, leaving residual water. The water guide plate 5 is then tilted. Under gravity, the water drips onto the water guide plate 5. Because the water guide plate 5 is tilted, the water flows downwards under its inclined surface, eventually converging and being channeled through the upward-facing guide flanges 51 on both sides of the lower second end 1-2 of the water guide plate 5 into the water collection box 8 placed on the lower shelf 3. Users only need to periodically remove the water collection box 8 to empty the water, making cleaning very convenient. When the dishes are dry, the user can connect the second end 1-2 of the water guide plate 5 to the locking hole at a higher position, thus adjusting and fixing it to a near-horizontal state. Figure 1As shown. In this state, the water guide plate 5 can serve as an additional temporary storage platform for placing dry kitchen utensils or other items, greatly improving space utilization and flexibility. The specific adjustment method is as follows: the first end 1-1 of the water guide plate 5 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1 via a pivot, and the second end 1-2 is detachably connected to the other end of the frame 1. Preferably, the frame 1 has multiple locking positions 6 along the vertical direction. The second end 1-2 of the water guide plate 5 is connected to any locking position 6 via a locking member 7, thereby adjusting the water guide plate 5 to a horizontal or inclined state. As an embodiment 1, the locking member 7 can be implemented with bolts, and the locking position 6 can be implemented with threaded holes.

[0026] Based on the above technical solution, as a preferred embodiment, this application configures the frame 1 as a first U-shaped frame 11, a second U-shaped frame 12, and a third U-shaped frame 13 arranged sequentially at intervals along the horizontal direction; a drain rack 4 is fixedly installed between the first and second U-shaped frames 12, that is, the water guide plate 5 is located directly below the drain rack 4, the first end 1-1 of the water guide plate 5 is rotatably mounted on the second U-shaped frame 12, and the second end 1-2 is locked to the locking position 6 of the first U-shaped frame 11 by the locking member 7. With this design, the drain rack 4 and the water guide plate 5 are concentrated between the first U-shaped frame 11 and the second U-shaped frame 12 to form an independent draining and guiding area; while the third U-shaped frame 13 is used for extended support to form a dry storage area.

[0027] Based on the above technical solution, regarding the installation method of the upper shelf 2, one side is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12, and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts, and the other side is fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12, and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts. By firmly connecting the upper shelf 2 to the top of both sides of the three U-shaped frames with bolts, the originally independent U-shaped support units are interconnected, forming a robust, closed rectangular load-bearing frame. This design greatly enhances the overall rigidity and stability of the frame 1, effectively resisting torsional and lateral forces generated during use, preventing structural swaying, and providing a safe and reliable load-bearing foundation for the shelf. Similarly, one side of the lower shelf 3 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12, and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts, and the other side is fixedly connected to the lower end of the first U-shaped frame 11, the second U-shaped frame 12, and the third U-shaped frame 13 by bolts.

[0028] Based on the above technical solution, multiple symmetrically distributed fixing bases together form a stable support system. Even if there are slight unevennesses on the placement surface, the system can adaptively adjust through multiple contact points to prevent the frame 1 from shaking, ensuring that the shelf is always placed stably without wobbling or abnormal noise, thus improving the user experience.

[0029] Based on the above technical solution, a fixing plate 80 is fixedly installed on the middle section of the second U-shaped frame 12. A first reinforcing rib 81 and a second reinforcing rib 82 are connected to the fixing plate 80. The first reinforcing rib 81 is connected to the first U-shaped frame 11, and the second reinforcing rib 82 is connected to the second U-shaped frame 12. This connects the originally independent first, second, and third U-shaped frames 13 into a robust overall frame. This structure can effectively transfer and distribute the load on each U-shaped frame, greatly enhancing the rigidity and overall stability of the frame 1 in three dimensions.

[0030] Based on the above technical solution, a crossbar 9 is provided between the first reinforcing rib 81 and the second reinforcing rib 82, and a hook 91 is provided on the crossbar 9. This transforms what was originally a purely reinforcing "ineffective space" into a "functional area" for hanging and storage, greatly improving the product's space utilization efficiency and practicality. Users can easily hang kitchen utensils, cups, dishcloths, and other items, achieving three-dimensional storage of dry items.

[0031] This invention completely breaks through this layout limitation with its innovative "tilted water guide plate 5 + remote water collection box 8" design. Water is guided systematically to the water collection box 8 on the lower side, eliminating the need for a large cavity directly under the drain rack 4. This significantly reduces the overall height and volume of the rack, making the product structure more compact and saving considerable kitchen countertop space. The adjustable water guide plate 5 allows users to freely switch between "powerful draining mode" and "horizontal storage mode" as needed. When the water guide plate 5 is adjusted to a horizontal position, the area instantly becomes a stable additional storage platform for storing dry items, transforming traditionally wasted space into usable area and maximizing space utilization.

[0032] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the above embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various changes or modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention as defined by the claims. Therefore, the detailed description of the embodiments in this disclosure is for explanation only and not for limiting the present invention, but rather the scope of protection is defined by the content of the claims.
