Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a rotating drain basket, particularly suitable for the rapid draining of fruits, vegetables, tableware, and toiletries in kitchens, bathrooms, and other similar settings. It belongs to the technical field of drain baskets. Background Technology

[0002] Drain baskets are common tools used in daily life to drain water from washed items, and are widely used in kitchens, bathrooms, and other settings. Most drain baskets on the market today adopt a static design, which means that water adhering to the surface of the items is allowed to drip naturally through holes in the side wall or bottom of the basket.

[0003] This traditional method of letting water drain naturally has significant drawbacks: First, the drainage efficiency is extremely low, requiring a long wait for most of the water to drip off, which cannot meet the high-efficiency needs of a fast-paced lifestyle; second, drainage is incomplete, with a significant amount of water remaining in crevices or on surfaces, requiring additional wiping later, adding to the process; third, water can easily splash into the surrounding environment during natural dripping, causing dampness on the countertop and bacterial growth; and fourth, the continuous draining process occupies countertop space, interfering with other operations. Therefore, the existing design of drain baskets is no longer sufficient to meet users' needs for efficient, convenient, and thorough drainage, and a new type of drain basket structure is urgently needed to solve these problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model proposes a rotating drain basket that achieves efficient, labor-saving, and stable rotating draining effect through optimized structural design, solving the technical problems of low draining efficiency, laborious operation, incomplete draining, poor structural stability, and inconvenient disassembly and assembly of existing drain baskets.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A rotating drain basket includes an outer drain basket, an inner drain basket for placing items to be drained and having holes in its side walls, and an inner basket cover that is positioned and connected to the inner drain basket. The inner basket cover is equipped with a rotating cover assembly that drives the inner drain basket to rotate and drain water. The inner basket cover has upper cover limiting teeth. The side walls of the inner drain basket are perforated, with holes evenly distributed on the side walls and bottom. The rotating cover assembly includes a rotating upper cover and a rotating lower cover installed above the drain basket. The rotating lower cover is installed above the drain basket via a silicone strip, which can improve the connection sealing and prevent water from splashing out during the draining process. The rotating top cover is equipped with a lever that can move left and right. The lever passes through the rotating top cover and is inserted into a rack frame with a toothed edge on one side. The lower end of the rotating top cover is provided with a central shaft. A central gear is sleeved on the central shaft, which moves left and right with the lever, causing the rack frame to move and rotate synchronously. When the lever moves left and right under the user's operation, it causes the rack frame to move left and right. The rack frame drives the central gear and the central shaft to rotate. The central shaft drives the ratchet fixed turntable and the one-way ratchet to rotate, thereby causing the inner basket top cover and the inner drain basket to rotate synchronously. This causes water droplets from the items to be drained to be thrown out from the holes in the side wall of the inner drain basket, achieving the draining effect.

[0006] A ratchet-tooth fixing turntable is fixedly connected to the lower part of the central gear. The ratchet-tooth fixing turntable has one-way ratchet teeth that match the limiting teeth of the upper cover and rotate with the central gear, driving the inner drain basket to rotate. The one-way ratchet teeth engage with the limiting teeth of the upper cover to achieve synchronous rotation of the inner basket upper cover and the ratchet-tooth fixing turntable. The interlocking of the one-way ratchet teeth and the limiting teeth of the upper cover ensures that the rotational force of the central gear can be stably transmitted to the upper cover of the inner basket, thereby driving the inner drain basket to rotate synchronously. Centrifugal force is used to quickly throw the water on the surface of the items out of the holes of the inner drain basket. The inner basket cover has a central hole, and the lower end of the ratchet-tooth fixing turntable is equipped with an elastically expanding limiting claw that matches and is fixed to the central hole. The elastically expanding limiting claw extends into the central hole to assist in fixing the inner basket cover and the ratchet-tooth fixing turntable. After being inserted into the central hole, the elastically expanding limiting claw can automatically expand elastically to achieve a stable connection between the ratchet-tooth fixing turntable and the inner basket cover, preventing loosening during rotation.

[0007] The rotating lower cover has a limiting frame for placing the rack frame. A reset spring for resetting the rack frame is installed inside the limiting frame. When the user releases the lever, the reset spring can push the rack frame to automatically reset, making it convenient for the next operation.

[0008] The rotating top cover has a limiting hole. One end of the lever passes through the limiting hole and is inserted into the rack frame. The lever is limited to move left and right by the limiting hole. The limiting hole can limit the range of movement of the lever and prevent the rack frame from moving too much, which could cause the gear meshing to fail.

[0009] The inner basket cover is fixed to the draining inner basket by a silicone strip, so that the two form a stable connection and ensure that the draining inner basket can rotate synchronously when the inner basket cover rotates, thus ensuring the stability of the draining effect.

[0010] This utility model has the following advantages and beneficial effects: This utility model relates to a rotating drain basket. The lever moves left and right along the limiting hole under the manual operation of the user, which drives the rack frame to move left and right synchronously. The rack frame meshes with the central gear through the rack, thereby driving the central gear to rotate around the central axis.

[0011] Significantly improved drainage efficiency: The rack and pinion frame and the central gear are driven by the lever to rotate the inner drain basket at high speed. The centrifugal force is used to quickly throw out the water. Compared with static drainage, the drainage time is shortened by more than 80%, meeting the needs of high-efficiency use. Effortless and convenient operation: The transmission structure of lever + rack + central gear allows users to drive the inner drain basket to rotate simply by moving the lever left and right, without having to hold the inner drain basket directly to exert force. This makes operation effortless and avoids slippage. The return spring automatically resets the lever, eliminating the need for manual return and making it even more convenient to use. More thorough drainage: Under the action of centrifugal force, residual water on the surface and in the crevices of the item can be fully shaken out, and the drainage is more thorough than the traditional static method, and no additional wiping is required afterward; Stable and reliable structure: The interlocking action between the one-way ratchet teeth and the upper cover limiting teeth ensures efficient transmission of rotational power and avoids slippage and idle rotation; the elastically expanded limiting claw further strengthens the connection between the inner basket upper cover and the ratchet fixed turntable, so that the inner basket has no risk of displacement or falling off during rotation; the silicone strip sealing limit between the rotating lower cover and the drain outer basket improves the overall structural stability. Easy to disassemble and clean: The components are connected by snap-fit ​​and plug-in methods, which can be quickly disassembled without tools, making it easy to clean the gaps between the components and avoiding stains and bacteria growth. Wide range of applications: It can be used for draining various items such as fruits and vegetables, tableware, and toiletries, meeting the needs of multiple scenarios such as kitchens and bathrooms, and is highly practical.
