Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of kitchenware technology, specifically a modular dish rack. Background Technology

[0002] A dish rack is a kitchen storage appliance whose main function is to hold washed bowls, plates, dishes, and other tableware in one place, and to allow them to dry quickly through a ventilation structure to prevent bacterial growth. Its functions include optimizing kitchen space utilization, keeping tableware clean and orderly, and preventing bumps and wear when tableware is stacked. Some designs also take into account the storage needs of small tools such as spatulas and chopsticks. It is an important tool for improving kitchen efficiency and hygiene.

[0003] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings: Traditional dish racks are usually fixed in one piece, making it difficult to reach the corners during cleaning and maintenance. After long-term use, mold can easily grow in the seams. Since they are tied to the cabinet, they must be replaced as a whole when damaged, resulting in high repair costs and seriously affecting the user experience and subsequent hygiene issues. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a modular dish rack to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: This application provides a modular dish rack, including a first dish rack, a second dish rack, and a third dish rack. The second dish rack is located between the first and third dish racks, and its two sides are flush with and fitted to the sides of the first and second dish racks, respectively. The top surfaces of the first, second, and third dish racks are each provided with a plate plate and a bowl plate. The top surfaces of the first, second, and third dish racks are provided with a storage box. The bottom surfaces of the first, second, and third dish racks are each fixed with a locking frame, and the locking frame is U-shaped. A support plate is inserted into the locking frame.

[0006] In one possible implementation, the plate and bowl are arranged one in front of the other, and adjacent plates and bowls are aligned with each other.

[0007] In one possible implementation, the storage box is located in the gap between the plate and the bowl plate, and is placed in a rectangular groove on the top surface of the first, second and third bowl racks, with partitions fixed inside the storage box.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the storage box is fixed with a docking component, and the top rectangular grooves of the first, second, and third dish racks are provided with matching interfaces, and the docking components and matching interfaces cooperate with each other.

[0009] In one possible implementation, the top surface of the support plate is a plane, and the top surface of the support plate has partition openings.

[0010] In one possible implementation, a control frame is mounted on the bottom of the support plate, and a movable base is mounted in a groove on the top surface of the control frame. The movable base is screwed to the bottom surface of the support plate.

[0011] In one possible implementation, the control frame is equipped with a lead screw and a motor, with the motor connected to the lead screw, and the movable base is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By breaking down the traditional integrated dish rack into three independently detachable modules (first, second, and third), the problem of thoroughly cleaning fixed dish racks is solved. For deep cleaning, users no longer need to painstakingly wipe the complex internal structure of the cabinet; simply use the sliding mechanism of the bottom support plate to unlock each module, allowing for thorough washing, disinfection, and drying. This effectively prevents bacteria and mold from growing in hard-to-reach areas. The modular structure also provides high maintenance flexibility; even if a component is damaged due to long-term use, it can be replaced, significantly extending the overall lifespan of the product.

[0013] 2. By integrating partitioned storage boxes on the upper layer, different kitchen utensils can be centrally classified and stored. Users can take out and put in all the tableware in one pull-out operation, which greatly improves the convenience of use and space utilization efficiency. At the same time, by using the linkage of the movable support plate and the U-shaped locking bracket, the entire dish rack assembly can be firmly locked or released with one click, ensuring the integrity and stability of the dish rack during frequent push and pull use, preventing it from shaking, shifting or falling apart, and simplifying the disassembly steps of each module of the dish rack.

[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0017] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature; in the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "multiple" means two or more.

[0018] Example 1: refer to Figure 1-7 A modular dish rack provided in this application embodiment includes a first dish rack 1, a second dish rack 2, and a third dish rack 3. The second dish rack 2 is located between the first dish rack 1 and the third dish rack 3, and its two sides are flush with and fitted to the sides of the first dish rack 1 and the second dish rack 2, respectively. The top surfaces of the first dish rack 1, the second dish rack 2, and the third dish rack 3 are each provided with a plate plate 4 and a bowl plate 5. A storage box 6 is provided on the top surface of the first dish rack 1, the second dish rack 2, and the third dish rack 3. The bottom surface of the dish rack 3 is fixed with locking brackets 11, and the locking brackets 11 are U-shaped. A support plate 12 is inserted into the locking bracket 11. The modular dish rack can be disassembled and cleaned through a modular structure. The first, second and third dish racks form a continuous storage space through the aligned plate plate 4 and bowl plate 5. When performing deep maintenance, users no longer need to painstakingly wipe the complex structure inside the cabinet. They can simply release the locking mechanism of the bottom support plate 12 to remove each module in turn for comprehensive rinsing, disinfection and drying, effectively preventing bacteria and mold from growing in dead corners.

[0019] Specifically, a dish rack is a kitchen utensil primarily used to store bowls and plates, keeping them neatly organized for easy access. Traditional dish racks are usually integrated and fixed inside pull-out cabinets. They are pulled out to retrieve items when needed and pushed back into the cabinet when not in use. However, this makes it difficult to clean, disinfect, and maintain the dish rack later. Therefore, an assembled dish rack is adopted, forming a modular structure that can be assembled sequentially inside the pull-out cabinet. It can be disassembled and removed one by one later for cleaning and maintenance. To further explain, the dish rack consists of a first dish rack 1, a second dish rack 2, and a third dish rack 3, and these three are assembled and can be disassembled. The second dish rack 2 is located between the other two dish racks, and its sides fit flush with the other dish racks. After assembly, the three form a complete dish rack, which can be disassembled and removed one by one for easy cleaning and maintenance.

[0020] In one possible implementation, the plate 4 and the bowl plate 5 are arranged in a front-to-back manner, and the positions of two adjacent plate plates 4 and bowl plates 5 are aligned with each other. The plate plates 4 and bowl plates 5 are used to stand the bowls and plates upright with the rims of the bowls or plates facing the side, and can be positioned between two corresponding bowl plates 5 or plate plates 4 to achieve positioning.

[0021] Specifically, the first dish rack 1, the second dish rack 2, and the third dish rack 3 each include a plate plate 4 and a bowl plate 5. The positions of two adjacent plate plates 4 and bowl plates 5 are aligned with each other, so that the bowls and plates can be stood upright with the rims of the bowls or plates facing to the side. After placing them between two corresponding bowl plates 5 or plate plates 4, they can be positioned.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the storage box 6 is located in the gap between the plate plate 4 and the bowl plate 5, and the storage box 6 is placed in the rectangular groove on the top surface of the first bowl and plate rack 1, the second bowl and plate rack 2 and the third bowl and plate rack 3. The storage box 6 has a fixed array of partitions 7 inside, and the storage box 6 is located between the plate plate 4 and the bowl plate 5. The internal partitions 7 can realize the centralized classification and storage of different kitchen utensils.

[0023] Specifically, the storage box 6 can be placed here. The storage box 6 is rectangular and is mainly used to store utensils such as chopsticks and spoons. The internal space of the storage box 6 is separated by the partition 7, thereby forming a partition inside, which makes it convenient to store different types of utensils, making it easy for users to access and use them, and improving convenience.

[0024] In one possible implementation, the bottom surface of the storage box 6 is fixed with a docking member 8, and the top rectangular grooves of the first dish rack 1, the second dish rack 2 and the third dish rack 3 are provided with a docking interface 9, and the docking member 8 and the docking interface 9 cooperate with each other. The top storage box 6 realizes the partitioned management of tableware by inserting the docking member 8.

[0025] Specifically, the connecting part 8 is the part that connects the storage box 6 to the dish rack. After aligning it with the connecting interface 9 on the dish rack, it is inserted into the connecting interface 9 from top to bottom. At this time, the storage box 6 can be positioned and can only be taken out from the top.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the top surface of the support plate 12 is flat, and the top surface of the support plate 12 is provided with partition openings 13. The engagement mechanism between the bottom support plate 12 and the U-shaped locking bracket 11 of the dish rack is controlled by a motor 16 driving a lead screw 15 to precisely move the moving base 14, so that the support plate 12 fixes all modules in the locked state, and can be removed and maintained one by one after unlocking. Specifically, to ensure that the three dish racks do not easily change position or shift within the pull-out cabinet, a support plate 12 is added to the bottom of the dish rack. The support plate 12 provides support for the dish rack, which sits above the support plate 12 after being placed inside the cabinet. Since one end of the support plate 12 has a partition opening 13 that aligns with and interlocks with the U-shaped locking bracket 11 at the bottom of the dish rack, during assembly, it is only necessary to move the support plate 12 to one end and adjust its position accordingly. Simply insert the locking bracket 11 and the support plate 12 into each other. At this time, the dish rack is locked and cannot be lifted or disassembled. All three dish racks can be locked and limited at the same time. Similarly, when it is necessary to disassemble and remove the dish racks for maintenance, simply move the support plate 12. Since the size of the dish rack is the same as the size of the cabinet it is placed in, the movement of the support plate 12 will not affect its position. Once the support plate 12 is separated from the locking bracket 11, the user can manually lift the dish rack out for cleaning. The operation is simple.

[0027] In one possible implementation, a control frame 10 is installed at the bottom of the support plate 12, and a movable base 14 is installed in the top groove of the control frame 10. The movable base 14 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 12 by screws, and the control frame 10 is directly fixed to the bottom of the installed sliding cabinet by screws, making the whole modular. When the movable base 14 moves along the top groove of the control frame 10, the support plate 12 and the locking plate can be inserted or separated.

[0028] The control frame 10 is equipped with a lead screw 15 and a motor 16, and the motor 16 is connected to the lead screw 15. The movable base 14 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 15. The lead screw 15 can be driven by the motor 16 to move. Under the action of the lead screw 15, due to the sleeve and threaded connection between the movable base 14 and the surface of the lead screw 15, the linear movement of the support plate 12 can be completed.

[0029] Specifically, the movable base 14 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 15. The movable base 14 is located inside the control frame 10 and is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 15. The control frame 10 is directly fixed to the bottom screw inside the cabinet. When the motor 16 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate, the movable base 14 drives the support plate 12 to move linearly along the slide groove inside the lead screw 15 and the control frame 10, thereby controlling the insertion or separation of the support plate 12 and the locking frame 11.

[0030] The working principle is as follows: Dish racks are kitchen utensils, mainly used to store bowls and plates, making them neatly stored for easy access by users. Traditional dish racks are usually integrated and fixed inside pull-out cabinets. They are pulled out to retrieve items when in use and pushed back into the cabinet when not in use. However, this makes it difficult to clean, disinfect, and maintain the dish rack later. Therefore, an assembled dish rack is adopted, forming a modular structure that is assembled sequentially inside the pull-out cabinet. It can be disassembled and removed one by one later for cleaning and maintenance. To further explain, the dish rack consists of a first dish rack, a second dish rack, and a third dish rack, and the three are assembled and can be disassembled. The second dish rack is located in the middle of the other two dish racks, and its sides fit flush with the other dish racks. After the three are assembled, they form a complete dish rack, which can be disassembled and removed one by one later for easy cleaning and maintenance. The first, second, and third dish racks each include a plate plate and a bowl plate. Adjacent plate plates and bowl plates are aligned to allow bowls and plates to stand upright with their rims facing sideways. Placing the bowl or plate between two corresponding plates or plates provides positioning. The modular dish racks, when assembled, form a rectangular groove where a storage box can be placed. This rectangular box is primarily for storing utensils such as chopsticks and spoons. Dividers separate the internal space of the box, creating partitions for storing different types of utensils, facilitating user access and improving convenience. The bottom of the storage box has connecting parts that align with the dish rack. Aligning the box with the connecting interface on the dish rack and inserting it from top to bottom, the storage box is positioned and can only be retrieved from the top. To ensure that the three dish racks do not easily change position or shift within the pull-out cabinet, a support plate is added to the bottom of the dish racks. This support plate provides support, and the dish racks, once placed inside the cabinet, sit above the support plate. Because one end of the support plate has a partition opening that aligns with and interlocks with the U-shaped locking bracket at the bottom of the dish rack, assembly is simple: move the support plate to one end and adjust its position until the locking bracket interlocks with it. At this point, the dish racks are locked and cannot be lifted or disassembled. All three dish racks can be locked simultaneously for maximum stability. Similarly... When the dish rack needs to be disassembled and removed for maintenance, simply move the support plate. Since the size of the dish rack is the same as the size inside the cabinet, moving the support plate will not affect its position. Once the support plate is separated from the locking bracket, the user can manually lift the dish rack for cleaning. The operation is simple. The movable base is located inside the control frame and is threaded to the surface of the lead screw. The control frame is directly fixed to the bottom of the cabinet with screws. When the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the movable base drives the support plate to move linearly along the lead screw and the slide groove inside the control frame, thereby controlling the insertion or separation of the support plate and the locking bracket.

[0031] The beneficial effects of using the embodiments of this application are as follows: The modular dish rack allows for easy disassembly and cleaning through its modular structure. The first, second, and third dish racks form a continuous storage space through aligned plate and bowl plates. The top storage box uses connectors to separate tableware for partitioned management. The bottom support plate and the U-shaped locking mechanism of the dish rack are precisely moved by a motor-driven screw, ensuring that all modules are fixed in the locked state. After unlocking, each module can be removed and maintained individually. This design maintains the overall stability of the storage while solving the problem of cleaning dead corners in traditional integrated dish racks through modular disassembly. Furthermore, the automated locking mechanism reduces the complexity of manual operation, achieving a balance between storage efficiency and hygiene maintenance.

[0032] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this application, and are not intended to limit it. This application is not limited to the exact structures described above and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and it should not be considered that the specific implementation of this application is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications made without departing from the concept of this application should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this application.
