Detailed Implementation

[0040] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0041] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a dishwasher that includes an inner tub and a dish rack 100. The inner tub is the main body of the dishwasher, capable of holding the tableware that needs to be washed, and the washing process of the tableware is also completed in the inner tub. The inner tub is usually made of corrosion-resistant and high-temperature-resistant materials, such as stainless steel, so that it maintains structural stability under prolonged high-temperature and high-pressure water flow, while protecting the internal components from damage.

[0042] The dish rack 100 can be installed in the inner liner. The dish rack 100 can have a placement slot, which is designed to classify and place tableware. The placement slot can be set up with special areas for different tableware such as bowls, plates, cups, knives and forks, so that each piece of tableware can be placed neatly. The dish rack 100 is also equipped with a cup holder 10, which can fix the stemmed glass 30, so that the stemmed glass 30 can have good stability during the washing process, thereby preventing the stemmed glass 30 from colliding.

[0043] Secondly, please refer to Figures 1 to 3, which provide a bowl basket 100 according to an embodiment of this application. The bowl basket 100 may include a bowl basket body 20 and a cup holder 10. The bowl basket body 20 may include a plurality of horizontal bars 201 and a plurality of vertical bars 202. The horizontal bars 201 and the vertical bars 202 are cross-connected, and the plurality of horizontal bars 201 and the plurality of vertical bars 202 may define a placement groove. The placement groove may be provided with a placement position 203 for placing the mouth of a stemmed glass 30.

[0044] In some embodiments, a plurality of horizontal bars 201 can be arranged parallel to each other in the horizontal direction, and a plurality of vertical bars 202 include a plurality of first vertical bars 202 arranged perpendicular to the horizontal direction and a plurality of second vertical bars 202 arranged inclined relative to the horizontal direction. A portion of the plurality of horizontal bars 201 intersects with the plurality of first vertical bars 202 to form the side of the placement groove, and another portion of the plurality of horizontal bars 201 intersects with the plurality of second vertical bars 202 to form the bottom surface of the placement groove. The connected horizontal bars 201 and second vertical bars 202 can define a placement position 203 for placing the mouth of the stemmed glass 30. The cup holder 10 can be connected to the horizontal bars 201 forming the side of the placement groove, so that the support part 3 can be disposed toward the interior of the placement groove.

[0045] When the stemmed glass 30 needs to be cleaned, it can be placed upside down in the placement slot, with the mouth of the stemmed glass 30 positioned in the placement position 203. The mouth of the stemmed glass 30 contacts the horizontal bar 201, while the glass wall contacts the second vertical bar 202, causing the stemmed glass 30 to tilt towards the side of the placement slot. During the tilting process, the stem of the stemmed glass 30 can lean against the cup holder 10, allowing the cup holder 10 to support the stem of the stemmed glass 30. Thus, the mouth, glass wall, and stem of the stemmed glass 30 can all be effectively supported, making the stemmed glass 30 more stable when placed in the dish rack 100, and also making it convenient to place the stemmed glass 30.

[0046] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. In some embodiments, the bowl basket body 20 may also include a limiting rod 204. The limiting rod 204 may be disposed at the placement position 203 and may be inserted into the inside of the stemmed glass 30, thereby limiting the horizontal freedom of the stemmed glass 30.

[0047] In some embodiments, the bowl basket body 20 may include a plurality of limiting rods 204. The plurality of limiting rods 204 may be arranged sequentially at intervals along the same direction, and the limiting rods 204 extend vertically in the placement position 203. When the mouth of the stemmed glass 30 is placed in the placement position 203, the limiting rods 204 may be inserted into the stemmed glass 30 from the mouth of the stemmed glass 30, so that the limiting rods 204 can restrict the horizontal degree of freedom of the stemmed glass 30, further increasing the stability of the stemmed glass 30, and preventing the stemmed glass 30 from shaking under the impact of water flow during the washing process.

[0048] In some embodiments, the two limiting rods 204 can be inserted into the interior of the stemmed glass 30, and the two limiting rods 204 can better restrict the horizontal degree of freedom of the stemmed glass 30, further increasing the stability of the stemmed glass 30.

[0049] Thirdly, please refer to Figure 1, which shows a cup holder 10 provided in an embodiment of this application. The cup holder 10 can be installed on a bowl basket 100 to fix a stemmed glass 30. The cup holder 10 can include a connecting part 1, a snap-on part 2, and a support part 3.

[0050] In one embodiment, the connecting part 1 can be connected to the crossbar 201 located on the side of the bowl basket 100, the buckle part 2 can be connected to the connecting part 1, so that the connecting part 1 can be fixed on the side of the bowl basket 100, and the support part 3 can be connected to the connecting part 1, and the support part 3 can be disposed towards the inside of the bowl basket 100, and the end of the support part 3 away from the connecting part 1 can be provided with a support groove 31.

[0051] When the wine glass 30 needs to be washed, it can be placed upside down in the dish rack 100, with the mouth of the wine glass 30 positioned in the placement position 203. After the mouth of the wine glass 30 contacts the placement position 203, it will tilt to the side of the dish rack 100. During the tilting process, the stem of the wine glass 30 can enter the support groove 31, so that the support part 3 can support the stem of the wine glass 30. Thus, the wine glass 30 can be easily tilted and fixed in the dish rack 100, and both the mouth and the stem of the wine glass 30 can be effectively supported, so that the wine glass 30 can also have good stability during the washing process, thereby preventing the wine glass 30 from colliding.

[0052] In some embodiments, the connecting part 1, the snap-fit ​​part 2, and the supporting part 3 all have a certain degree of elasticity, and the connecting part 1, the snap-fit ​​part 2, and the supporting part 3 can be integrally formed.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 can be movably connected to the crossbar 201 to drive the support part 3 to move between the support position and the storage position. When the support part 3 is in the support position, the support part 3 is set at an angle to the side of the bowl basket 100 and is configured to support the foot of the stemmed glass 30. The buckle part 2 is engaged with the vertical bar 202. When the support part 3 is in the storage position, the support part 3 is in contact with the bowl basket 100 and the buckle part 2 is disengaged from the vertical bar 202.

[0054] In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 can be movably connected to the crossbar 201 located on the side of the bowl basket 100, so that the connecting part 1 can drive the support part 3 to move between the support position and the storage position relative to the bowl basket 100. It should be noted that the connecting part 1 can move up and down relative to the bowl basket 100 to drive the support part 3 to move between the support position and the storage position. The connecting part 1 can also rotate relative to the bowl basket 100 to drive the support part 3 to move between the support position and the storage position.

[0055] When the connecting part 1 moves the support part 3 to the support position, the support part 3 can be set at an angle to the side of the bowl basket 100 and the support part 3 is set towards the inside of the bowl basket 100. At this time, the buckle part 2 can be engaged with the vertical rod 202, so that the support part 3 can be fixed in the support position, thereby the support part 3 can form a stable support structure, and the support part 3 can more stably support the foot of the stemmed glass 30.

[0056] When the connecting part 1 moves the supporting part 3 to the storage position, the buckle part 2 can disengage from the vertical rod 202, and the supporting part 3 can contact the bowl basket 100, or in other words, the supporting part 3 can be folded into the bowl basket 100, so that the supporting part 3 does not interfere with other tableware in the bowl basket 100. Thus, when the stemmed glass 30 is not placed, the cup holder 10 can be folded up, and the cup holder 10 does not occupy the space in the bowl basket 100 set up for placing tableware, so that the bowl basket 100 can hold more tableware.

[0057] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 can be hinged to the crossbar 201, so that the connecting part 1 can drive the support part 3 to rotate relative to the bowl basket 100 with the crossbar 201 as the rotation axis. In this case, the connecting part 1 can drive the support part 3 to rotate away from the bottom of the bowl basket 100 to the support position, or the connecting part 1 can drive the support part 3 to rotate towards the bottom of the bowl basket 100 to the storage position.

[0058] In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 can be hinged to the crossbar 201 located on the side of the bowl basket 100. The crossbar 201 can be the rotation axis of the connecting part 1, so that the connecting part 1 can drive the support part 3 to rotate relative to the bowl basket 100 between a support position and a storage position around the crossbar 201.

[0059] When the connecting part 1 drives the support part 3 to rotate away from the bottom of the bowl basket 100, and rotates to the point where the support part 3 is set at an angle to the side of the bowl basket 100, the support part 3 is in a supporting position. The support part 3 can be tilted upward relative to the side of the bowl basket 100, so that the support part 3 can support the foot of the stemmed glass 30.

[0060] When the connecting part 1 drives the support part 3 to rotate towards the bottom of the bowl basket 100, and rotates until the support part 3 contacts the side of the bowl basket 100, the support part 3 is in the storage position. The support part 3 can be vertically arranged inside or outside the bowl basket 100, and the support part 3 contacts the side of the bowl basket 100, so that the support part 3 does not occupy the space of the bowl basket 100 set for placing tableware, so that the bowl basket 100 can hold more tableware.

[0061] Please refer to Figures 1, 4 and 5. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 may have a first clearance opening 101 and a clearance groove 102, and the first clearance opening 101 and the clearance groove 102 are arranged adjacent to each other and can communicate with the clearance groove 102. During the process of the support part 3 moving from the support position to the storage position, the first clearance opening 101 can allow the vertical rod 202 to extend into it, and when the support part 3 is in the storage position, the clearance groove 102 can cooperate with the vertical rod 202 so that the cup holder 10 can be in close contact with the side of the bowl basket 100.

[0062] In some embodiments, by providing a first clearance opening 101 on the connecting part 1, the first clearance opening 101 can prevent the connecting part 1 from interfering with the vertical rod 202 during the process of the connecting part 1 driving the support part 3 from the supporting position to the storage position, so that the connecting part 1 can move more smoothly relative to the bowl basket 100. Furthermore, by providing a clearance groove 102 adjacent to the first clearance opening 101 on the connecting part 1, when the support part 3 is in the storage position, the vertical rod 202 can cooperate with the clearance groove 102, that is, the vertical rod 202 is inserted into the clearance groove 102, so that the vertical rod 202 will not block the connecting part 1 from driving the support part 3 to move toward the side of the bowl basket 100, and the support part 3 can contact the side of the bowl basket 100 more closely, further preventing the support part 3 from occupying the space of the bowl basket 100.

[0063] Please refer to Figures 1 and 4. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 may have a mounting groove 11, and the connecting part 1 may be hinged to the crossbar 201 through the mounting groove 11, so that the connecting part 1 can drive the support part 3 to rotate around the crossbar 201.

[0064] In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 can be made of an elastic material, and the connecting part 1 has an assembly groove 11. The connecting part 1 can be movably sleeved on the crossbar 201 through the groove of the assembly groove 11, so that the connecting part 1 can be hinged to the crossbar 201 through the assembly groove 11. The connecting part 1 can rotate around the crossbar 201 as a rotation axis, so that the connecting part 1 can drive the support part 3 to rotate around the crossbar 201 to a support position or a storage position. The connecting part 1 can be easily installed on the crossbar 201, so that the connecting part 1 can rotate around the crossbar 201, and the crossbar 201 can also be easily disengaged from the groove of the assembly groove 11.

[0065] Referring to Figure 5, in one embodiment, the bottom surface of the mounting groove 11 can be an arc surface, and the arc surface can be adapted to the outer wall surface of the crossbar 201, that is, the arc surface can be bent in the same direction as the outer wall surface of the crossbar 201, so that the connecting part 1 and the crossbar 201 can rotate more smoothly relative to each other.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 6 and 7. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 may also include a limiting member 12, which may be disposed on the inner sidewall of the assembly groove 11 and may restrict the crossbar 201 from disengaging from the assembly groove 11.

[0067] In some embodiments, the limiting member 12 can be disposed in the assembly groove 11 near the groove opening. When the connecting part 1 is hinged to the crossbar 201, the axis of the crossbar 201 is located between the limiting member 12 and the bottom surface of the assembly groove 11, so that the limiting member 12 can prevent the crossbar 201 from disengaging from the groove opening of the assembly groove 11, and the connecting part 1 and the crossbar 201 can be hinged more stably.

[0068] In some embodiments, the two opposite inner sidewalls of the assembly groove 11 may be provided with limiting members 12 respectively. Taking the example that each of the two opposite inner sidewalls of the assembly groove 11 is provided with a limiting member 12, when the support part 3 rotates to the support position and the support part 3 supports the foot of the stemmed glass 30, the two oppositely provided limiting members 12 can clamp the crossbar 201, so that the support part 3 can be more stably fixed in the support position, that is, the support part 3 can more stably support the foot of the stemmed glass 30, so that the stemmed glass 30 is more stably fixed in the bowl basket 100.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 1 and 5. In some embodiments, the latching part 2 may include a first latching arm 21 and a second latching arm 22. The first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22 may be spaced apart on the connecting part 1. A latching position 23 is formed between the first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22. The latching position 23 may be latched with the vertical rod 202.

[0070] In some embodiments, both the first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22 can be connected to the connecting part 1, and the first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22 are located on the same side wall of the connecting part 1. Both the first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22 are elastic. When the vertical rod 202 is located in the latching position formed between the first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22, the first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22 can clamp the vertical rod 202, so that the vertical rod 202 is latched in the latching position, and the latching part 2 can be smoothly latched to the vertical rod 202.

[0071] Please refer to Figures 1 and 5. In some embodiments, the side of the first latching arm 21 facing away from the second latching arm 22 may be provided with a second clearance opening 24, and the side of the second latching arm 22 facing away from the first latching arm 21 may be provided with a third clearance opening 25.

[0072] In some embodiments, the vertical rod 202 is coated. During the process of the vertical rod 202 being engaged between the first engaging arm 21 and the second engaging arm 22, the vertical rod 202 will press against the first engaging arm 21 and the second engaging arm 22, causing the vertical rod 202 to rub against the first engaging arm 21 and the second engaging arm 22. If the friction is too great, the coating on the vertical rod 202 will be damaged. The second clearance opening 24 and the third clearance opening 25 can prevent the coating on the vertical rod 202 from being damaged.

[0073] In one embodiment, when the vertical rod 202 presses against the first latching arm 21 and the second latching arm 22, the first latching arm 21 can move towards the second clearance opening 24, and the second latching arm 22 can move towards the third clearance opening 25. This allows both the first and second latching arms 21 to move away from the vertical rod 202, thereby reducing the friction between the first latching arm 21 and the vertical rod 202, and also reducing the friction between the second latching arm 22 and the vertical rod 202. This, in turn, prevents damage to the coating on the vertical rod 202.

[0074] Please refer to Figures 1 and 4. In some embodiments, the side wall of the support groove 31 may be provided with a limiting protrusion 32 protruding into the support groove 31. The limiting protrusion 32 may be configured to prevent the stem of the stemmed cup 30 from disengaging from the support groove 31.

[0075] In some embodiments, each of the opposite side walls of the support groove 31 is provided with a limiting protrusion 32 protruding into the support groove 31, and the limiting protrusion 32 is disposed close to the opening of the support groove 31. When the stem of the stemmed glass 30 is located in the support groove 31, the stem is located between the bottom surface of the support groove 31 and the limiting protrusion 32, so that the limiting protrusion 32 can prevent the stem from detaching from the support groove 31. More specifically, during the washing of the stemmed glass 30, the water flow impacts the stemmed glass 30, and the limiting protrusion 32 can prevent the stem from detaching from the support groove 31. Furthermore, when the dish rack 100 is pulled out of the inner liner, the limiting protrusion 32 can also prevent the stem from detaching from the support groove 31 under the action of the dish rack 100.

[0076] Please refer to Figures 1, 4 and 5. In some embodiments, the limiting protrusion 32 may include a guiding surface 321 and a limiting surface 322. The guiding surface 321 may be set at an angle to the limiting surface 322. The guiding surface 321 is configured to guide the stem of the stemmed glass 30 into the supporting groove 31, and the limiting surface 322 is configured to restrict the stem of the stemmed glass 30 from disengaging from the supporting groove 31.

[0077] In some embodiments, the guide surface 321 is inclined to the plane containing the opening of the support groove 31, and extends toward the interior of the support groove 31, so that when the stem of the stemmed glass 30 contacts the guide surface 321, the guide surface 321 can guide the stem into the support groove 31. The limiting surface 322 is set at an angle to the guide surface 321, and the limiting surface 322 is opposite to the bottom surface of the support groove 31. When the stem of the stemmed glass 30 is located in the support groove 31, the limiting surface 322 can prevent the stem from dislodging from the support groove 31.

[0078] As shown in Figure 4, the distance between the two opposite inner sides of the support groove 31 is d, and d gradually decreases from the opening of the support groove 31 toward the bottom surface of the groove 31, so that both opposite inner sides of the support groove 31 form inclined surfaces, and both opposite inner sides of the support groove 31 are inclined toward the inside of the support groove 31, so that the inner side of the support groove 31 can guide the cup foot to move toward the bottom surface of the groove 31, so that the support part 3 can better support the cup foot of the stemmed cup 30.

[0079] Please refer to Figures 1 and 3. In some embodiments, the connecting part 1 may also have a transition section 13, which is connected to the support part 3 and can be adapted to fit against the side of the bowl basket 100.

[0080] In some embodiments, the transition section 13 of the connecting part 1 is connected to the support part 3, thereby enabling the support part 3 to rotate. The transition section 13 has an adapting surface, and the adapting surface can be adapted to the side profile of the bowl basket 100.
