Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwasher technology, and more specifically, to a dishwashing station. Background Technology

[0002] Commercial dishwashers, as a highly efficient and energy-saving kitchen appliance, are widely used in places with huge volumes of tableware washing, such as schools, hotels, enterprises, military units, and tableware disinfection companies. Compared with traditional manual washing methods, commercial dishwashers have unparalleled advantages in improving washing efficiency, reducing labor costs, ensuring tableware hygiene, and solving problems such as insufficient tableware supply during peak dining periods.

[0003] To facilitate the quick removal of dishes after the dishwasher has finished washing and sanitizing, a dedicated pre-collection device – a dish tray – is usually installed at the dishwasher's exit. After the tray containing the dishes exits the dishwasher, it enters the dish tray for transfer. The operator can then simply remove the tray from the dish tray's work surface, which is very convenient and improves the overall efficiency of the washing and transfer process.

[0004] However, most existing commercial dishwashers use a one-piece design for their dishwashing units. This non-detachable, integrated structure reveals significant drawbacks in manufacturing, packaging, transportation, and storage. First, due to the unit's inherent size and irregular shape, it occupies excessive transport space, reducing the quantity transported per trip and increasing logistics costs. Second, the large packaging volume also causes inconvenience for warehouse storage and on-site handling. Third, existing dishwashing units are only used for transferring dishes at the dishwasher's exit, resulting in a limited functionality. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome at least one of the defects in the prior art, this utility model provides a dishwashing station that is convenient for packaging and handling, has a small packaging volume, reduces transportation costs, and can store storage baskets.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a dishwashing station is provided, including a tabletop module, at least two frame modules and at least one connector. The two ends of each connector are detachably connected between two adjacent frame modules to form a support frame, and a storage channel is formed between each pair of adjacent frame modules. At least one of the storage channels is provided with multiple support platforms for storing baskets. The tabletop module is detachably located on the top of the support frame.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the dishwashing station of this utility model has the following advantages: Compared to traditional integrated workbenches, this utility model's dishwashing station structure is divided into multiple modular components, including a tabletop module, a frame module, and connectors. During transportation, each module can be packaged independently, reducing volume, transportation costs, and handling difficulty. On-site assembly is simple: first, assemble the connectors and frame modules to form a complete support frame; finally, assemble the tabletop module onto the top of the support frame. Furthermore, this structure creates installation channels between adjacent frame modules, with multiple support platforms within these channels for temporary storage of baskets. This adds storage functionality to the dishwashing station, making full use of available space and adding additional features.

[0008] As an improvement, each of the connectors is provided with a fixing plate at both ends, and each fixing plate is provided with a first bolt for connecting to the frame module respectively.

[0009] In an improved version, each frame module is assembled from two uprights and several longitudinal connecting rods, and the uprights and longitudinal connecting rods are all hollow square tubes.

[0010] In a further improvement, the frame module has multiple mounting holes on its side wall for connecting the transverse connecting rod, and each mounting hole has a first nut for fixing the first bolt.

[0011] Furthermore, the connector includes two transverse rods and several longitudinal rods, with the longitudinal rods connected between the two transverse rods, and both ends of each transverse rod detachably connected between two adjacent frame modules.

[0012] Preferably, there are three frame modules, and the three frame modules are connected into one unit by two connectors. There are two installation channels, and at least one of the installation channels has multiple support plates symmetrically arranged on both side walls at vertical intervals. Any two left and right symmetrical support plates form a support platform for storing baskets.

[0013] In a further improvement, each of the three frame modules has an upper-opening mounting slot at its top, and the lower end of the platform module has three mounting tubes for engaging with the three mounting slots respectively. A second bolt passes through the two side walls of each mounting slot, and each mounting tube has a mounting through hole for the corresponding second bolt to pass through.

[0014] In a further improvement, a reinforcing connecting rod is provided between every two adjacent mounting tubes.

[0015] Furthermore, the tabletop module includes a workbench, on which a sliding channel for the storage basket to slide is recessed, and a limiting stop is provided at one end of the sliding channel.

[0016] In an improved version, the bottom of the support frame is provided with height-adjustable support feet.

[0017] Other improvements and advantages of this invention will be set forth in the detailed description that follows, and will be apparent in part from the description, or may be learned by practicing the invention. The objectives and other advantages of this invention can be realized and obtained through the structures particularly pointed out in the description and drawings. Attached Figure Description

[0020] First, those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely used to explain the technical principles of the embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the embodiments of this application. Those skilled in the art can make adjustments as needed to adapt to specific application scenarios.

[0021] In the description of the embodiments of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "fixed" and "connected" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in the embodiments of this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0022] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0023] See Figures 1-9 As shown in the figure, this application discloses a dishwashing station, including a countertop module 1, at least two frame modules 2, and at least one connector 3. The two ends of each connector 3 are detachably connected between two adjacent frame modules 2 to form a support frame. The support frame has a storage area for placing multiple storage baskets 12. The countertop module 1 is detachably mounted on top of the support frame. In this application, the entire dishwashing station is divided into a countertop module 1, at least two frame modules 2, and at least one connector 3. During transportation, each module can be packaged independently, reducing volume and lowering transportation costs and handling difficulty. During on-site assembly, it is only necessary to first assemble each connector 3 with the adjacent frame modules 2 to form a complete support frame, which can stand on the ground. Finally, the countertop module 1 is assembled onto the top of the support frame, which is very convenient.

[0024] Furthermore, in the aforementioned support frame structure, a storage channel is formed between every two adjacent frame modules 2, and at least one storage channel is equipped with multiple support platforms arranged vertically at intervals for storing the storage basket 12. In actual use, the storage basket 12 is matched with the dishwasher, and a dirty dish station is provided at the inlet of the dishwasher, while a clean dish station of this application is provided at the outlet. The dirty dish station is mainly used to collect unwashed dishes and perform preliminary cleaning and rinsing of residual food. The pre-treated dishes are then stored in the storage basket 12 before the storage basket 12, along with the dishes, is sent into the dishwasher for cleaning. Therefore, the support platform in this structure effectively serves the pre-storage function of the storage basket 12. When the washing begins, the operator can directly remove the storage basket 12 from the support frame and place it on the dirty dish station to put the dishes, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0025] In this embodiment, preferably, there are three frame modules 2 and two connectors 3, with the two connectors 2 respectively connecting adjacent frame modules 2; and the three frame modules 2 are connected as one unit by the two connectors 3, forming an installation channel between each pair of adjacent frame modules 2. At least one installation channel has multiple support plates 11 symmetrically arranged on its two side walls at vertical intervals, and any two left-right symmetrical support plates 11 form a support platform for storing the basket 12. See Appendix. Figure 9 Of course, in order to ensure the structural strength of the support frame, two or more connecting parts 3 can be set between every two adjacent frame modules 2.

[0026] In this embodiment, support plates 11 are provided on both side walls of one of the installation channels, while the other installation channel is used to store larger items. Of course, corresponding support plates 11 can also be provided on the side walls of both installation channels to improve storage efficiency.

[0027] For details, see Figure 5 and 7 Each connector 3 has a fixing plate 4 at both ends, and each fixing plate 4 has a first bolt 5 for connecting to the corresponding frame module 2. Specifically, the corresponding threaded holes can be directly machined on the side wall of the frame module 2, or mounting holes can be first opened on the side wall of the frame module 2, and then the first nut 6 can be set in the mounting holes by riveting, and the first bolt 5 and the first nut 6 are connected and engaged.

[0028] In this embodiment, see Appendix Figure 2 Each frame module 2 is assembled from two uprights 201 and two longitudinal connecting rods 202, and both the uprights 201 and the longitudinal connecting rods 202 are hollow square tubes. In this application, corresponding first nuts 6 are provided at the connection points between the four uprights 201 and the two ends of each transverse connecting rod 3. In addition, in order to avoid too many manual connections on site and to ensure structural strength, the corresponding hollow square tubes of the frame module 2 are connected by welding.

[0029] For others, see Appendix Figure 4 Each connector 3 includes two transverse bars 301 and several longitudinal bars 302. The longitudinal bars 302 are connected between two transverse bars 301 to form a bracket module. The two ends of the bracket module are detachably connected to the lower ends between two adjacent frame modules 2, thus forming a support frame at the bottom of each installation channel, which can hold other items. In this structure, the transverse bars 301 and longitudinal bars 302 are made of stainless steel hollow square tubing.

[0030] In this embodiment, fixing plates 4 are provided on the upper and lower sides of each end of the transverse rod 301. That is, each transverse rod 301 is connected and fixed to the two frame modules 2 by four first bolts 5. Furthermore, the fixing plates 4 here adopt an angle bracket structure, which can be connected and fixed to both the transverse rod 301 and the frame module 2. The angle brackets are preferably fixed to the transverse rod 301 by welding, but they can also be connected by fasteners.

[0031] In addition, in this embodiment, and certainly in some other embodiments, it can also be connected and fixed in other ways, such as by fasteners.

[0032] On the other hand, see Appendix Figure 6 and 8 In the above structure, each of the three frame modules 2 has an upper-opening mounting slot 7 on its top. The lower end of the table module 1 has three mounting tubes 8 for engaging with two mounting slots 7 respectively. The mounting tubes 8 are preferably hollow square tubes. Each mounting slot 7 has multiple interconnecting holes spaced apart on both sides. The two mounting tubes 8 also have corresponding mounting through holes 10. After the two mounting tubes 8 are inserted into the corresponding mounting slots 7, a second bolt 9 is inserted into the corresponding interconnecting hole on the mounting slot 7 at the top of the frame module 2. The second bolt 9 passes through the mounting through hole 10. Each second bolt 9 passes through both sides of the corresponding mounting slot 7 and is locked at the end of the second bolt 9 by a second nut 15.

[0033] In this embodiment, in order to further simplify the support frame structure, a small section of mounting groove 7 is provided only on the top of the two columns 201 of each frame module 2. When the tabletop module 1 is pre-installed on the top of the support frame, the three mounting pipes 8 and the six mounting grooves 7 cooperate to form six connection points. Two second bolts 9 are provided at each connection point, and the ends of the second bolts 9 are equipped with second nuts 15. This facilitates installation and effectively improves the connection strength between the support frame and the tabletop module 1.

[0034] In this embodiment, see Appendix Figure 3 The countertop module 1 includes a horizontal worktable 101. The worktable 101 has a recessed sliding channel 102 for the sliding of a storage basket, and one end of the sliding channel 102 is equipped with a limiting stop 103. In practical applications, the end of the sliding channel 102 without the limiting stop 103 is connected to the dishwasher's outlet to ensure that the storage basket 102 can smoothly enter the sliding channel 102 after leaving the dishwasher, until it abuts against the limiting stop 103.

[0035] In addition, in the above structure, in order to increase the load-bearing strength of the tabletop 1, a reinforcing connecting rod 13 is provided between every two adjacent mounting pipes 8.

[0036] In another aspect, in this embodiment, support feet 14 are provided at the bottom of each of the six columns 201, and the height of the support feet 14 is adjustable.

[0037] The hollow square tube and tabletop module 1 of the dishwashing station involved in this application are basically made of high-quality stainless steel, which is not only beautiful in appearance, but also lightweight and easy to move.
