Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and in particular to a shelf mechanism and a baby bottle washing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Baby bottle cleaners, as household appliances specifically designed for cleaning infant bottles, nipples, and related accessories, typically have a shelf structure inside their washing chamber to support and position items to be cleaned. Some existing baby bottle cleaners employ a double-layer shelf design, usually consisting of upper and lower shelves connected by support columns. In these existing shelf structures, the upper shelf often uses a flat mesh panel. Due to space limitations imposed by the top structure of the machine's enclosure, the usable height between the upper shelf and the inner top surface of the enclosure is relatively limited, only suitable for items with small dimensions. Adjusting the upper shelf downwards along the support columns increases the usable height of the upper area, but correspondingly, the spray arm on the lower side of the upper shelf also needs to be moved downwards. Lowering the spray arm reduces the usable height of the lower shelf, thus affecting its ability to accommodate taller items. The existing structural design struggles to balance the usage needs of both upper and lower shelves in terms of space allocation, leaving room for design optimization. Utility Model Content

[0025] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A shelving mechanism includes a first shelf 100, a second shelf 200, and a support column 300. The first shelf 100 is located above the second shelf 200. The middle part of the first shelf 100 and the middle part of the second shelf 200 are connected by the support column 300. A first spray arm 310 and a second spray arm 320 are rotatably connected to the support column 300. The first spray arm 310 is located below the middle part of the first shelf 100, and the second spray arm 320 is located below the second shelf 200. The periphery of the first shelf 100 is inclined downward or bent downward relative to the middle part of the first shelf 100.

[0026] Understandably, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, the middle part of the first shelf 100 and the middle part of the second shelf 200 are connected by a support column 300. The first spray arm 310 is rotatably connected to the support column 300 and is located on the lower side of the middle part of the first shelf 100. The second spray arm 320 is rotatably connected to the support column 300 and is located on the lower side of the second shelf 200. A water supply channel 301 is provided inside the support column 300 for supplying water to the first spray arm 310 and the second spray arm 320. The periphery of the first shelf 100 is inclined downward or bent downward relative to the middle part of the first shelf 100. (Refer to...) Figure 6 and Figure 7 In use, the bottle body 10 can be placed on the second shelf 200, and the nipple 20, bottle cap 30, etc. can be placed on the first shelf 100. By designing the periphery of the first shelf 100 to be inclined or bent downward relative to the center, the distance between its periphery and the top surface inside the cover is increased, thereby increasing the accommodating height at its periphery position. This can accommodate items with a certain height, such as the nipple 20. At the same time, this design allows the center of the first shelf 100 to arch, and the first spray arm 310 is located on the lower side of the center of the first shelf 100. This avoids the need to adjust the position of the first spray arm 310 downward, reducing the impact of the second shelf 200 below on the accommodating capacity of taller items such as the bottle body 10. Thus, it can better balance the accommodating capacity of the upper and lower shelves and better meet the user's needs. In practical applications, the specific structures of the first shelf 100, the second shelf 200, the support column 300, the first spray arm 310, and the second spray arm 320 can be set according to actual usage needs.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first shelf 100 is provided with an anti-slip structure 101. It is understood that, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the first shelf 100 is provided with an anti-slip structure 101 with uneven surfaces. When items such as nipples 20 and bottle caps 30 are placed on the first shelf 100, the anti-slip structure 101 can reduce the relative sliding between them and the first shelf 100, achieving a better placement effect. In practical applications, the specific structural form of the anti-slip structure 101 can be set according to the actual usage needs.

[0028] In some embodiments, the peripheral edge of the first shelf 100 is provided with a surrounding edge 110. It is understood that, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, by providing a surrounding edge 110, which encircles the periphery of the first shelf 100, items placed around the periphery of the first shelf 100 are prevented from sliding off, thus achieving a better placement effect. In practical applications, the surrounding edge 110 can be configured according to actual usage needs.

[0029] In some embodiments, the second shelf 200 is provided with a first placement position 201 for placing the bottle 10, and the first placement position 201 is provided with a slanted support 210 for tilting the bottle 10 placed in the first placement position 201 toward the support column 300. It is understood that, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the second shelf 200 has four first placement positions 201 arranged at intervals around the support column 300. Each first placement position 201 is provided with a slanted support 210. In use, the bottle 10 is placed upside down in the first placement position 201 of the second shelf 200 with the bottle mouth facing down. The slanted support 210 supports one side of the bottle 10, tilting it towards the support column 300, thus facilitating drainage after washing and making it convenient to use. In actual application, the specific structure of the slanted support 210 can be set according to the actual usage requirements.

[0030] In some embodiments, a limiting post 220 is provided at the first placement position 201 to limit the position of the bottle 10 at the first placement position 201. It is understood that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, each first placement position 201 is provided with two limiting posts 220. When the bottle 10 is placed upside down in the first placement position 201 of the second shelf 200 with the bottle mouth facing down, one of the two limiting posts 220 at the first placement position 201 extends into the bottle mouth, and the other is located outside the bottle mouth. This works together to clamp the bottle mouth wall of the bottle 10, thereby limiting its position at the first placement position 201, reducing the possibility of displacement, and facilitating use. In practical applications, the specific number and structure of the limiting posts 220 can be set according to actual usage needs.

[0031] In some embodiments, a limiting frame 330 is connected to the support column 300. The limiting frame 330 is located between the first shelf 100 and the second shelf 200. The limiting frame 330 is provided with a limiting arm 331 to limit the position of the bottle 10 at the first placement position 201. It is understood that, as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 6As shown, a limiting frame 330 passes through the support column 300. The limiting frame 330 is located between the first shelf 100 and the second shelf 200. The limiting frame 330 has two limiting arms 331 corresponding to each first placement position 201. When the bottle 10 is placed in the first placement position 201 of the second shelf 200, the corresponding two limiting arms 331 clamp the bottle 10, thereby limiting its position in the first placement position 201, reducing the possibility of displacement, and facilitating use. In actual applications, the specific structure of the limiting frame 330 can be set according to actual usage needs.

[0032] In some embodiments, the second shelf 200 is provided with a second placement position 202 for placing the accessory 40. The second placement position 202 is provided with a support portion 230 for supporting the accessory 40 placed in the second placement position 202 and forming a gap between the lower side of the accessory 40 and the second shelf 200.

[0033] Understandably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, four second placement positions 202 are provided. The four first placement positions 201 and four second placement positions 202 are alternately distributed around the support column 300. Each second placement position 202 is provided with multiple support parts 230, which are spaced apart around the center of the second placement position 202. In use, the accessory 40 can be placed in the second placement position 202, and the multiple support parts 230 support the lower side of the accessory 40, raising it to a certain height and creating a gap between it and the second shelf 200, facilitating drainage after cleaning and making it convenient to use. In practical applications, the accessory 40 can be an air duct, and the specific arrangement of the second placement positions 202 and support parts 230 can be varied according to the structure of the accessory 40.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second shelf 200 is provided with an air supply channel 203, which has an air inlet 204 for docking with a drying device and an air outlet 205. It is understood that, as Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7As shown, the second shelf 200 has an internal air supply channel 203. The air inlet 204 of the air supply channel 203 is located at the rear of the second shelf 200, and four air outlets 205 of the air supply channel 203 are distributed corresponding to the four first placement positions 201. In use, the air inlet 204 is connected to the drying device, and the drying device supplies airflow into the air supply channel 203. The bottle 10 is placed upside down in the first placement position 201 with the bottle mouth facing down. The air outlets 205 output airflow towards the inner cavity of the bottle 10, which helps to dry the inner cavity of the bottle 10. After the airflow enters the bottle 10 and circulates, it is output from its bottle mouth to the inner cavity of the machine cover, drying the items placed on the shelf mechanism for easy use. In actual application, the specific structure of the air supply channel 203 and the specific number of air outlets 205 can be set according to actual usage needs.

[0035] In some embodiments, the lower side of the second shelf 200 has a downwardly extending protrusion 240, and the protrusion 240 has a drain outlet 206 communicating with the air supply channel 203. It is understood that, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower side of the second shelf 200 is provided with multiple downward protrusions 240, some of which are distributed corresponding to the second placement position 202. Each downward protrusion 240 is provided with a drain outlet 206 communicating with the air supply channel 203, with the drain outlet 206 facing the second placement position 202. During use, during the spray cleaning process, water inevitably enters the air supply channel 203 from the air outlet 205. By providing downwardly extending downward protrusions 240 and drain outlets 206 on the downward protrusions 240, it is beneficial to drain the water in the air supply channel 203, reducing the possibility of water accumulation in the air supply channel 203. At the same time, during the drying process, the air supply channel 203 can also exhaust air through the drain outlet 206, which is beneficial to drying the accessories 40 placed in the second placement position 202, making them convenient to use. In actual applications, the specific structure of the downward protrusions 240 and the specific arrangement of the drain outlets 206 can be set according to actual usage needs.
