FIG.21
FIG. 2
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of household appliance, and more particularly to a food dehydrator tray.
[0002] A food dehydrator is a commonly used household appliance that is configured to accommodate various fruits, meats and other kind of food that are not adapted for storage, and dry such food by means of a drier provided in the food dehydrator in order to prolong the storage period of the food. Generally, a plurality of food dehydrator trays can be stacked on one another, but the intervals therebetween cannot be adjusted, and it is not adapted to place relative thick food. Currently, some of the food dehydrator trays are provided with a height increase means. During use, one of the trays needs to be lifted and to assemble with another tray via the height increase means thereof, so as to increase the interval between the two trays. However, such method requires precise match to adjust the interval between the trays, which is cumbersome and inconvenient for users.
[0003] In view of this, it is an object of the present application to provide a food dehydrator tray, which is convenient to adjust the distance therebetween.
[0004] To achieve the above object, the present application provides a food dehydrator tray. The food dehydrator tray comprises: a reticulate tray, at least two columns, and at least two support rails. One end of each of the at least two columns is fixed at a bottom surface of the reticulate tray. A bottom of each of the at least two supporting rails is fixed at a top surface of the reticulate tray, and a top of each of the at least two supporting rails defines a recess. The number of the support rails is equal to the number of the columns. Relative positions of the at least two support rails correspond to relative positions of the at least two columns.
[0005] In the food dehydrator tray provided by an embodiment of the present application, the support rails are arranged on the top surface of the reticulate tray. The top of each support rails (i. e., the top of each support rail that is away from the reticulate tray) defines the recess, and the columns are arranged at the bottom surface of the reticulate tray. When two trays are stacked from bottom to top, the two trays may be rotated towards opposite directions relatively to each other, respectively, such that the columns of the upper tray can slide along the support rails of the lower tray. When sliding to the recesses of the support rails of the lower tray, the columns of the upper tray may be fixed by the recesses of the lower tray, resulting in the maximum distance between the two trays, that is, the distance between the two trays raises the heights of the support tails and the columns. When the columns 14 of the upper tray slide out of the support rails of the lower tray, respectively, a minimum distance between the upper tray and the lower tray is resulted, that is, the distance between the upper tray and the lower tray changes to be the original distance. Therefore, when the food dehydrator tray provided by the present application is utilized, it is not necessary to lift one of the trays and accurately math the height increase means of the two trays, and it only requires to rotate one of the trays to adjust the distance between the trays. The number of the columns and the number of the support rails are both greater than two and equal, such that the trays can be stably stacked from bottom to top with a maximum distance. When the upper tray and the lower tray are stacked from bottom to top and relative rotations of the two trays to a certain degree occur, all the columns at the upper tray may synchronously slide to the same positions of the corresponding support rails of the lower tray.
[0006] In an embodiment of the present application, an upper peripheral wall is arranged at an edge of the top surface of the reticulate tray, and a lower peripheral wall is arranged at an edge of the bottom surface of the reticulate tray. A radius of the lower peripheral wall is greater than a radius of the upper peripheral wall.
[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, when two trays are stacked from bottom to top, and the radium of the lower peripheral wall is greater than a radius of the upper peripheral wall, the lower peripheral wall of the upper tray can be sleeved on the upper peripheral wall of the lower tray.
[0008] In an embodiment of the present application, the columns are arranged inside the lower peripheral wall. A distance between each of the at least two columns and the lower peripheral wall is greater than a thickness of the upper peripheral wall.
[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the two trays are stacked from bottom to top, the upper peripheral wall of the lower tray is located between the lower peripheral wall of the upper tray and the columns arranged at the bottom surface of the upper tray, so that the lower peripheral wall of the upper tray can be sleeved on the upper peripheral of the lower tray.
[0010] In an embodiment of the present application, the food dehydrator tray further comprises at least one handle.
[0011] In an embodiment of the present application, the at least one handle is arranged at an outside of the lower peripheral wall.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the user can place or rotate the tray through the handles as the food dehydrator has a high temperature in the process of drying food.
[0013] The configurations, the objects, and advantages of the present application will be more obvious and understandable through the through the description of the preferred embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings.

[0019] In order to make the purposes, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solutions in embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of, rather than all of the embodiments of the present application. Based on the current embodiments of the present application, all other embodiments that may be obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work should fall within the protection scope of the present application.
[0020] The food dehydrator is able to dry many fruits, meats and other foods that are not easy to store, thereby extending the storage period of food. Generally, a plurality of food dehydrator trays can be stacked on one another, but the intervals therebetween cannot be adjusted, and it is not adapted to place relative thick food. Currently, some of the food dehydrator trays are provided with a height increase means. During use, one of the trays needs to be lifted and to assemble with another tray via the height increase means thereof, so as to increase the interval between the two trays. However, such method requires precise match to adjust the interval between the trays, which is cumbersome and inconvenient for users.
[0021] In order to solve the above technical problems, embodiments of the present application provide a food dehydrator tray, which is convenient to adjust the distance between the trays.
[0022] The technical solutions of the present application will be described in detail hereinbelow in combination with the drawings. The embodiments described hereinbelow with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary, and are intended to explain the present application, but should not be understood as limiting the present application.
[0023] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a food dehydrator tray provided by the present application. FIG. 2 is another perspective view of the food dehydrator tray provided by the present application from another angel. FIG. 1 shows a structure of a bottom surface of the food dehydrator tray. FIG. 2 shows a structure of a top surface of the food dehydrator tray. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of food dehydrator trays provided by the present application stacked with a maximum distance. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of food dehydrator trays provided by the present application stacked with a minimum distance.
[0024] As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, the food dehydrator tray provided by the present application comprises: a reticulate tray 11, columns 14, and support rails 15. One end of each of the columns 14 is fixed at a bottom surface of the reticulate tray 11. A bottom of each of the supporting rails 15 is fixed at a top surface of the reticulate tray 11, and a top of each of the supporting rails 15 defines a recess 151.
[0025] In the food dehydrator tray provided by an embodiment of the present application, the support rails 15 are arranged on the top surface of the reticulate tray 11, with the top of each support rails 15 (i. e., the top of each support rail 15 that is away from the reticulate tray 11) defines the recess 151, and the columns 14 are arranged at the bottom surface of the reticulate tray 11. As shown in FIG. 3, when two trays are stacked from bottom to top, the two trays may be rotated towards opposite directions relatively to each other, respectively, such that the columns 14 of the upper tray can slide along the support rails 15 of the lower tray. When sliding to the recesses 151 of the support rails 15 of the lower tray, the columns 14 of the upper tray may be fixed by the recesses 151 of the lower tray, resulting in the maximum distance between the two trays, that is, the distance between the two trays raises the heights of the support tails 15 and the columns 14. As shown in FIG. 4, when the columns 14 of the upper tray slide out of the support rails 15 of the lower tray, respectively, a minimum distance between the upper tray and the lower tray is resulted, that is, the distance between the upper tray and the lower tray changes to be the original distance. Therefore, the food dehydrator tray provided by the present application can adjust the distance between the trays by rotating, and it is not necessary to pick up the tray and precisely match the height increase means in order to adjust the distance between the trays.
[0026] In an embodiment, not only can the recess 151 be defined at the top of the support rails 15, but also multiple recesses 151 can be defined at different heights of the support rails 15. When the two trays are stacked and rotated towards opposite directions relative to each other, the columns 14 of the upper tray slide along the support rails 15 of the lower tray to the recesses 151 of different heights, which can realize the conversion of different distances between the two trays.
[0027] In an embodiment, slide slots with a certain slope are arranged at two sides of the top of each support rail 15 and extend to the bottom of each support rail 15 and are fixed at the top surface of the reticulate tray 11. In this way, the columns 14 can stably slide along the support rails 15 according to corresponding tracks, thus no dislocation would happen.
[0028] In one embodiment, an upper peripheral wall 12 is arranged at an edge of the top surface of the reticulate tray 11, and a lower peripheral wall 13 is arranged at an edge of the bottom surface of the reticulate tray 11.
[0029] Exemplarily, the reticulate tray 11 may be a circular shape, in which case, cross sections of the lower peripheral wall 13 and the upper peripheral wall 12 may also be circular shapes. A radius of the lower peripheral wall 13 is greater than a radius of the upper peripheral wall 12. When the two trays are stacked from bottom to top, the lower peripheral wall 13 of the upper tray can be sleeved on the upper peripheral wall 12 of the lower tray, so that the two stacked trays can maintain a relatively good sealing property.
[0030] In one embodiment, the support rails 15 are located on the inner side of the upper side 12, the columns 14 are located on the inner side of the lower side 13, and the distance between the columns 14 and the lower side 13 is greater than that of the upper side 12 thickness.
[0031] A sufficient distance is kept between the columns 14 and the lower peripheral wall 13, such that when the two trays are stacked from bottom to top, the upper peripheral wall 12 of the lower tray can be located between the lower peripheral wall 13 of the upper tray and the columns 14 arranged at the bottom surface of the upper tray, and the lower peripheral wall 13 of the upper tray may be sleeved on the upper peripheral wall 12 of the lower tray.
[0032] In an embodiment, a height of each of the columns 14 is smaller than or equal to a height of the lower peripheral wall 13, and a height of each of the support rails 15 is smaller than or equal to a height of the upper peripheral wall 12. It is avoided the gap between a bottom of the lower peripheral wall 13 of the upper tray and a top of the upper peripheral wall 12 of the lower tray when the two trays are stacked together from bottom to top due to too high the heights of the columns 14 or the support rails 15. Therefore, the two trays can be stacked with the minimum distance.
[0033] In one embodiment, a distance between each of the support rails 15 and a center of the reticulate tray 11 is equal to a distance between each of the columns 14 and the center of the reticulate tray 11. Preferably, the columns 14 are located right beneath the support rails 15, such that the columns 14 of the upper tray can slide on the support rails 15 of the lower tray when the trays are rotated relative to each other.
[0034] In a possible implementation, at least two support rails 15 are provided at the top surface of the reticulate tray 11, at least two columns 14 are provided at the bottom surface of the reticulate tray 11, and the number of the support rails 15 is equal to the number of the columns 14.
[0035] It can be understood that when two trays are stacked with the maximum distance therebetween, the columns 14 at the bottom surface of the upper tray are respectively located at the recesses 151 of the support rails 15 at the top surface of the lower tray, which can improve the support stability of the trays.
[0036] In an embodiment, when at least two columns 14 are provided at the bottom surface of the reticulate tray 11, at least two support rails 15 are provided at the top surface of the reticulate tray 11, correspondingly, and relative positions of the at least two support rails 15 correspond to the relative positions of the at least two columns 14, such that when the two trays are stacked from bottom to top and relative rotations of the two trays to a certain degree occur, all the columns 14 at the upper tray may synchronously slide to the same positions of the corresponding support rails 15 of the lower tray.
[0037] In another possible implementation manner, the tray further comprises at least one handle 16. The at least one handle 16 may be arranged at an outside of the lower peripheral wall 13. As the food dehydrator has a high temperature in the process of drying food, and the user can place or rotate the tray through the handles 16.
[0038] In an embodiment, at least two handles 16 are provided on the tray.
