Description

Bowl basket and dish washer

Technical Field

The application relates to the field of cleaning devices, in particular to a bowl basket and a dish washer.

Background

The structural layout of the sink dishwasher determines that the basket must be in a deep position at the bottom of the sink. When the bowl basket is at the position, a user can put bowls and chopsticks into the bowl basket or take bowls and chopsticks out of the bowl basket, and the bowl basket is bent once every time, so that the bowl basket is inconvenient and particularly difficult for people with high heights. If the bowl and chopsticks are to be taken out of the sink-type dishwasher along with the bowl basket, a large table space is needed to be arranged near the dishwasher, and the bowl basket needs to be lifted for a long distance with great force and then transversely moved to the table space. Because the table top space is generally high and the bowl basket has a certain depth, the bowl basket is not easy to take even if placed on the table top space. The existing other lifting bowl basket technologies all adopt motors to provide power, lifting arms provide up-and-down lifting spaces, the development cost of the technologies is high, the structure is complex and complicated, the stability is not high, and the technology cannot be suitable for sink dish washing machines on the general distribution market.

Of course, the above-mentioned problems do not only exist in a tub dishwasher. In the process of using a common water tank, a special draining rack is generally required to be placed on the edge, after dishes are washed, the washed dishes are required to be placed on the draining rack, and after the dishes are drained, a piece of dishes is moved to a cupboard or a disinfection cupboard, so that the dishes are very inconvenient. If the bowl basket can be integrally cleaned in the bowl basket, the bowl basket can be hovered on the water tank to drain after the bowl basket is cleaned, and the bowl basket and the bowl chopsticks are integrally placed in the bowl cabinet or the disinfection bowl cabinet after the draining is completed, the bowl basket and the bowl chopsticks are convenient for a user.

In order to achieve the above purpose, the following technical scheme is adopted:

The first technical scheme relates to a bowl basket which is used for a water tank with a reflux tank, wherein the reflux tank is positioned at the upper edge of a cleaning cavity of the water tank and is provided with a bottom wall and a side wall; the bowl basket includes: the main body, its both sides form the first horizontal pole that sets up horizontally separately; the two rotators are hinged with the corresponding first cross bars respectively, and are provided with handles extending upwards and supporting legs extending downwards; the two handles are suitable for being operated by a user to enable the two rotators to rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the main body; in the first position, the bowl basket body is adapted to be placed into the wash chamber; in the second position, the two legs are rotated to extend out of the sides of the body and against the bottom wall and the side walls, respectively, so that the body hovers over the wash chamber.

The second technical scheme relates to a bowl basket, bowl basket is used for taking the basin in washing chamber, bowl basket includes: the main body, its both sides form the first horizontal pole that sets up horizontally separately; the two rotators are hinged with the corresponding first cross bars respectively, and are provided with upward extending handles and downward extending supporting legs; the two rotators and the main body form a rotation limiting structure respectively, so that the rotators rotate between a first position and a second position relative to the main body when the handle is driven; in the first position, the bowl basket body is adapted to be placed into the wash chamber; in the second position, the two support legs are respectively rotated to extend out of the side edge of the main body and are suitable for propping against the upper surface of the outer edge of the cleaning cavity so as to enable the main body to hover on the cleaning cavity.

The third technical scheme is based on the second technical scheme, wherein the rotation limiting structure comprises a second cross rod arranged on two sides of the main body and positioned below the first cross rod, and an extension part arranged on the inner side of the supporting leg and extending towards a basket cavity in the main body; when the rotator rotates to the second position, the extension part is propped against the second cross rod outwards, so that the rotator can not rotate continuously.

The fourth technical scheme is based on the second technical scheme, wherein, main part both sides are equipped with inwards depressed part, first horizontal pole is located in the depressed part, when turning to the first position, the stabilizer blade is located in the depressed part that the depressed part formed.

A fifth technical means is based on the second technical means, wherein the first cross bar is located at an upper end of the main body.

A sixth technical means is based on the second technical means, wherein the handle is bent inward to form a bent portion.

The seventh technical scheme is based on the sixth technical scheme, wherein when the rotator rotates to the first position, an included angle between the bending part and the horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 45 ° and less than or equal to 69 °.

An eighth technical solution is based on the seventh technical solution, wherein when the rotator rotates to the first position, an included angle between the bending portion and a horizontal plane is greater than or equal to 55 ° and less than or equal to 62 °.

The ninth technical scheme is based on the eighth technical scheme, wherein when the rotator rotates to the second position, an included angle between the support leg and a vertical plane where the hinge axis of the rotator is located is greater than or equal to 4 ° and less than or equal to 15 °.

A tenth technical means is based on any one of the second to ninth technical means, further comprising a pulling member which is an elastic member or a soft rope or is composed of hard members hinged to each other, and both ends of which are respectively hinged to handles of the two rotators or detachably hooked thereto.

An eleventh technical solution relates to a dishwasher provided with a tub with a washing chamber and a cover plate hinged to the tub, characterized by further comprising a bowl basket according to any one of the above; when the swivel is rotated to a first position, the bowl basket is configured to fit into the washing chamber and allow the cover plate to be placed over the sink.

Compared with the prior art, the scheme has the following beneficial effects:

in the first technical scheme, the support legs can be supported on the reflux groove only by two rotators arranged on two sides of the bowl basket main body and the handle is driven inwards by a user in the process of lifting the bowl basket by the handle, so that the bowl basket main body is suspended on the cleaning cavity. Therefore, the bowl and chopsticks can be placed in the bowl basket or taken out from the bowl basket by a user with extremely low cost and simple structure, and the bowl and chopsticks do not need to be bent once every time when being taken out, and the purpose of arranging a table top space for placing the bowl basket is also avoided.

The bowl basket in the second technical scheme is provided with the rotation limiting structure, so that the bowl basket can be suitable for a water tank with a reflux groove, can be suitable for a water tank without the reflux groove, and has wildness.

The third technical scheme provides a specific embodiment of the rotation limiting structure, and the embodiment is the simplest in structure and the manufacturing difficulty is minimum.

In the fourth technical scheme, be equipped with the depressed part in main part both sides, make the turning in the depressed part when the first position, and no longer bulge outside the main part both sides, consequently the accommodation space of main part is bigger.

In the fifth technical scheme, the first cross bar is located at the upper end of the main body, so that the space for the handle to rotate inwards is larger.

In the sixth technical scheme, because the habit of the user is that the bowl basket is lifted by the inward way of the palm. The handle is provided with the inwards bent bending part, so that the fingers of a user can be inserted into the space between the handle and the side wall of the cleaning cavity more easily, and the bowl basket can be lifted from the cleaning cavity more easily.

In the seventh technical scheme, an included angle between the bending part and the horizontal plane is set to be more than or equal to 45 degrees and less than or equal to 69 degrees when the rotator rotates to the first position. This is because if the angle between the bent portion and the horizontal plane is less than 45 °, it becomes very difficult for the user to drive the handle inward, and the effort is also greater. If the angle between the bend and the horizontal plane is greater than 69 deg., the user's fingers or palm will not easily extend into the space between the handle and the side wall of the wash chamber because the length of the handle is limited (which depends on the height of the wash chamber of the sink and the height required for the receiving space of the bowl basket body).

In an eighth technical means, the angle between the bending portion and the horizontal plane is set to 55 ° or more and 62 ° or less. Within this range, it is relatively easy for the user to drive the handle inwardly and also to insert the hand into the space between the handle and the side wall of the wash chamber.

In the ninth technical solution, an included angle between the support leg and a vertical plane where the hinge axis of the swivel is located when the swivel is rotated to the second position is set to be greater than or equal to 4 ° and less than or equal to 15 °. In this range, the user does not easily topple over the bowl basket as a whole even if he or she carelessly hits the side of the bowl basket, and the legs are less likely to bend or break, and the swivel has a longer life.

In the tenth technical scheme, through setting up the piece of drawing, can be through drawing the articulated between piece and the rotator, let the rotator receive inwards moment in the pulling process to make the stabilizer blade open in the twinkling of an eye that breaks away from the cleaning chamber, thereby no longer need have the inwards action of hand drive handle. Of course, the user can still pull the lifting piece through the double handles without more effort than the double handles.

An eleventh technical solution is the application of the bowl basket on the dish washer, solving the related problems of the sink dish washer in the background art.

The technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Example 1

Referring to fig. 1, fig. 1 shows a bowl basket 1 in a first embodiment. As shown in fig. 1, the bowl basket 1 includes a main body 2 and two swivel bodies 3.

The main body 2 is in a frame shape, a supporting leg 23 is arranged at the bottom of the main body, the main difference with a conventional bowl basket is that the main body is not provided with a handle, two sides of the main body are provided with inward concave parts 21, and the upper ends of the concave parts are provided with first transverse rods 22 which are horizontally arranged and extend along the front-rear direction.

Each swivel 3 has a substantially square frame shape, two vertical sides of the square frame are respectively provided with hinge holes, the two hinge holes form a hinge part 31, a part above the hinge part 31 forms a handle 32, and a part below the hinge part 31 forms a leg 33. In this embodiment, the handle 32 is bent integrally inward; the height of the legs 33 is less than the distance between the first rail 22 of the body 2 and the top of the support feet 23.

The hinge portion 31 of each swivel 3 is hinge-coupled with the first rail 22 of the corresponding side of the main body 2, respectively. After the hinged connection is completed, the handle 32 is convexly arranged at the upper end of the main body 2 for being held or taken by a user; and the legs 33 are located outside the body 2.

As shown in fig. 2 and 3, the swivel body 3 is pivoted between a first position and a second position with respect to the main body 2 about a hinge axis formed by the hinge connection of the hinge portion 31 and the first rail 22. Fig. 2 shows the bowl basket 1 when the swivel 3 is rotated to the first position. When the rotator 3 is rotated to the first position, as shown in fig. 2, the legs 33 of the rotator 3 are positioned substantially on a vertical plane and in the recess formed by the recess 21 of the body 2, and an angle alpha is formed between the handle 32 of the rotator 3 and the horizontal plane as shown in fig. 2. The angle α is configured to be the optimal 60 ° in this embodiment, and the configuration of the angle α will be discussed in more detail in the following description. Fig. 3 shows the bowl basket 1 when the swivel 3 is rotated to the second position. As shown in fig. 3, when the user is holding both handles 32 and driving both handles 32 inward, the swivel 3 will be rotated to the second position, at which point the legs 33 will be rotated to protrude from the recess 21 of the main body 2 and also protrude from the non-recess on the side of the main body 2.

How the bowl basket 1 of the present embodiment solves the technical problem of the present application is further described below by the description of the dishwasher 4 of the present embodiment.

Fig. 4 shows a state in which the dish washer 4 in the present embodiment is not put into the basket 1. As shown in fig. 4, the dish washer 4 includes, in addition to the bowl basket 1, a tub 5, a washing tub 6 integrally connected to the tub 5 and provided at the left side of the tub 5, and a cover plate 7 hinged to the tub 5 and rotatably provided over the tub 5. Of course, it can also be seen from fig. 5 and 6 that the bottom of the basin 5 is also provided with a spray arm 8, typically the spray arm 8 being horizontally pivoted about its axis to the bottom of the basin 5. The water tank 5 in this embodiment is provided with a washing chamber 51 and a return groove 52 located at the upper edge of the washing chamber 51. As can be seen in more detail in fig. 5, the recirculation tank 52 is provided with a bottom wall 521 connected to the washing chamber 51 and a side wall 522 connected to the outer edge of the water tank 5. It should be noted that the bowl basket 1 in this embodiment must be applied to the sink 5 having the washing chamber 51 and the return channel 52 described above.

Fig. 5 shows a state in which the bowl basket 1 in the present embodiment is placed in the washing chamber 51 of the tub 5 when the swivel 3 is rotated to the first position. As shown in fig. 5, the legs 33 of the swivel body 3 are now positioned in the recess 21 of the main body 2 such that the width of the entire bowl basket 1 is smaller than the width of the washing chamber 51. The support legs 23 are abutted against the bottom surface of the cleaning chamber 51, and a space is formed between the bottom surface of the main body 2 and the bottom surface of the cleaning chamber 51, in which space the shower arm 8 is allowed to rotate. When the bowl basket 1 is placed in the cleaning cavity 51, the overall height is lower than the height of the cleaning cavity 51, so that the cover plate 7 is covered on the reflux groove 52.

As can be seen from fig. 5, if a user wishes to lift the bowl basket 1 from within the wash chamber 51, he or she must extend his or her hand into the space between the upper end of the handle 32 and the side wall of the wash chamber 51 and then grasp the handle 32 inwardly. Therefore, in order to make this interval easy for the user's hand to be inserted, in the case where the length of the handle 32 is substantially determined (to facilitate the palm to be inserted into the grip), the angle α formed between the handle 32 of the rotator 3 and the horizontal plane as shown in fig. 2 must be 69 ° or less. And when the user lifts the bowl basket 1 over the side wall of the washing chamber 51 higher than the bottom wall of the return groove 52, the hands exert inward force to force the rotator 3 to rotate, so that the legs 3 are spread outward against the bottom wall 521 and the side wall 522 of the return groove 52 to the state that the bowl basket 1 shown in fig. 6 hovers over the washing chamber 51 when the rotator 3 rotates to the second position. For the convenience of the inward force of the user, the angle α should not be too small, and it has been experimentally confirmed that the angle α must be equal to or greater than 45 ° because the component of the horizontal force of the user inward on the handle 32 perpendicular to the torque is small to overcome the component of the torque generated by the weight of the bowl basket 1 and its contents in the opposite direction. In order to better balance the contradictory relationship between the two, the preferred choice of angle α is between 55 ° and 62 °, and the preferred choice is 60 °.

As shown in fig. 6, when the bowl basket 1 in the present embodiment rotates to the second position, the bowl basket 1 hovers over the cleaning chamber 51, and the support legs 33 abut against the bottom wall 521 and the side wall 522 of the backflow groove 52, so that the support legs 33 cannot rotate any more, and cannot rotate reversely due to the gravity of the whole bowl basket 1. Since the height of the legs 33 is smaller than the distance between the top end of the main body 2 and the bottom surface thereof, the main body 2 is still partially located in the washing chamber 51 and partially protrudes above the water tank 5. This height is the most suitable height for a user to take a bowl or chopstick.

After the user has picked up the bowls and chopsticks, the empty bowl basket 1 can be lifted and the handle 32 can be forced outwards to rotate the swivel 3 to the first position. At this point, the bowl basket 1 is again adapted to be placed into the wash chamber 51.

Since in this embodiment only two swivel bodies 3 are provided on both sides of the bowl and basket body 2 and the handle 32 is driven inwards by the user in the process of lifting the bowl and basket 1 with the handle, the feet 33 can be supported on the outer edge of the washing chamber 51, so that the bowl and basket body 2 hovers over the washing chamber 51. Therefore, the bowl and chopsticks can be placed in the bowl basket 1 or taken out from the bowl basket with extremely low cost and simple structure, and the user does not need to bend down once every time, and the invention aims of placing the table top space of the bowl basket are also achieved. In this embodiment, the recess 21 is provided, so that the rotator 3 can be hidden in the recess 21 when in the first position, and no longer protrudes out of two sides of the main body 2, so that the accommodating space of the main body 2 is larger. In this embodiment, the first cross bar 22 is located at the upper end of the main body 2, allowing more room for the handle 32 to rotate inwardly.

Example two

Referring to fig. 7, fig. 7 shows a bowl basket 1 in a second embodiment. As shown in fig. 7, the bowl basket 1 includes a main body 2 and two swivel bodies 3.

The main body 2 in the second embodiment is different from the main body 2 in the first embodiment in that the main body 2 in the second embodiment is provided with a second cross bar 24 below the first cross bar 22, which extends in the same direction as the first cross bar 22 and is also a part of the recess 21.

The swivel 3 in the second embodiment is different from the swivel 3 in the first embodiment in that the swivel 3 in the second embodiment is further provided with an extension 34 obliquely downward inside the leg 33.

The hinge portion 31 of each swivel 3 is hinge-coupled with the first rail 22 of the corresponding side of the main body 2, respectively. After the hinged connection is completed, the handle 32 is convexly arranged at the upper end of the main body 2 for being held or taken by a user; the feet 33 are located outside the body 2; the extension 34 then extends into the basket cavity of the body 2 and is located above the second rail 24.

As shown in fig. 8 to 10, the swivel 3 is pivoted between a first position and a second position with respect to the main body 2 about a hinge axis formed by the hinge connection of the hinge portion 31 and the first rail 22. Fig. 8 shows the bowl basket 1 when the swivel 3 is rotated to the first position. As shown in fig. 8, when the swivel 3 is rotated to the first state, the legs 33 of the swivel 3 are positioned substantially on the vertical plane and within the recess formed by the recess 31 of the main body 2, and the extension 34 extends into the basket cavity of the main body 2 and is positioned above the second rail 24 with a space from the second rail 24. The angle between the handle 32 of the swivel 3 and the horizontal plane is exactly the same as the angle alpha in the first embodiment, which in this embodiment is also 60. As shown in fig. 9 and 10, when the user is holding the two handles 32 and driving the two handles 32 inward, the rotator 3 will rotate to the second position, at which point the legs 33 will rotate to protrude from the recess 21 of the main body 2 and also protrude from the non-recess on the side of the main body 2, and at which point the extension 34 will push outward against the second rail 24, so that the rotator 3 cannot continue to rotate any more.

Fig. 11 shows a dishwasher 4 in this embodiment, and the other parts of the dishwasher 4 except for the basket 1 in this embodiment are not different from those in the embodiment, and will not be described again. However, the bowl basket 1 in this embodiment no longer has to be applied to a sink 5 having a return channel 52. As will be described in detail later.

Fig. 12 shows a state in which the bowl basket 1 in the present embodiment is placed in the washing chamber 51 of the sump 5 when the rotator 3 is rotated to the first position. As shown in fig. 12, the legs 33 of the swivel body 3 are now positioned in the recess 21 of the main body 2 such that the width of the entire bowl basket 1 is smaller than the width of the washing chamber 51. The support legs 23 are abutted against the bottom surface of the cleaning chamber 51, and a space is formed between the bottom surface of the main body 2 and the bottom surface of the cleaning chamber 51, in which space the shower arm 8 is allowed to rotate. When the bowl basket 1 is placed in the cleaning cavity 51, the overall height is lower than the height of the cleaning cavity 51, so that the cover plate 7 is covered on the reflux groove 52. If a user lifts the bowl basket 1 and drives the handle 32 inwardly as the legs 33 clear the side walls of the wash chamber 51, the extensions 34 bear outwardly against the second rail 24, causing the swivel 3 to rotate to the second position and not continue. At this time, the leg 33 is seated on the bottom wall 521 of the return groove 52, and the state shown in fig. 13 is obtained. Of course, in this embodiment, the legs 33 are arranged to also abut against the side walls of the reflow slot 52 exactly when the swivel 3 is moved to the second position. But this is not required.

Fig. 14 shows a possible positional relationship between the leg 33 and the water tank 5 when the swivel 3 is rotated to the second position in the present embodiment, wherein part a shows that the leg 33 abuts against the bottom wall 521 of the return groove 52, but does not abut against the side wall 522 of the return groove 52; part B shows that the legs 33 are simultaneously abutted against the bottom wall 521 and the side walls 522 of the reflow tank 52 (i.e., the present embodiment); part C shows that the legs 33 no longer bear against the inside of the reflow channel 52, but further against the upper surface of the outer edge of the reflow channel 52. The three possibilities are all possible because the swivel 3 is actually prevented from continuing to rotate, instead of the return groove 52, but a rotation limiting structure between the extension 34 and the second rail 24. Of course, there are many possibilities of such a rotation limiting structure, for example, a limiting portion may be provided on the first cross bar 22, such that the handle 32 cannot be rotated again after being rotated to a certain angle, or any other structure capable of realizing such a rotation limiting function. The person skilled in the art can refer to all the prior art and introduce a structure for realizing such rotation limiting function into the technical solution of the present application to achieve the object of the present application, which does not require any creative effort and is therefore within the scope of protection of the present application.

Further, as shown in fig. 14, when the rotor 3 is rotated to the second position, the angle β shown in the portion C is preferably set to 4 ° or more and 15 ° or less with respect to the vertical plane on which the hinge axis of the rotor 3 is located. This is because, if the angle β is smaller than 4 °, the force component restricting the rotation of the rotator 3 due to the gravity of the basket 4 and the dishes therein is small, and once the user lightly collides with the side surface of the basket, the rotator is easily rotated to break the supporting effect of the rotator, thereby shaking or tilting the entire basket sideways. If the angle β is larger than 15 °, the torque generated by the weight of the bowl basket 4 and the dishes therein is large, and the extension 34 cannot be thick because it extends into the space of the bowl basket 4, and the material is limited to stainless steel, which is not rusty and has a certain strength, and the tensile strength is limited, so that the service life of the extension 34 is easily shortened due to the excessive torque, and the extension 34 is bent or broken. Optimally, the angle β may take a value of 10 °.

The present embodiment has all the technical effects of the first embodiment, and since the rotation limiting structure is provided, it is applicable not only to the water tank 5 having the reflow tank 52, but also to the water tank 5 having no reflow tank 52, and further has the general compatibility.

Example III

Referring to fig. 15 and 16, the third embodiment is different from the second embodiment in that the bowl basket 1 further includes a pulling member 9 having both ends detachably hooked with the handle 32, and the pulling member 9 is an elastic member including a body 92 and hooking portions 91 integrally connected with the body 92 and located at both ends of the body 92. The hooking portion 91 is for hooking with the cross member of the handle 32. As shown in fig. 16, since the handle 32 is provided with a driving force obliquely inward by deforming the pulling member 9 when the central portion of the pulling member 9 is held by hand, the handle 32 is driven to rotate the rotator 3. By adopting the lifting piece 9, a user can finish the action of rotating the rotating body 3 from the first position to the second position by only lifting the lifting piece 9, and the handle 32 is not required to be driven inwards by two hands. Of course, the user can still pull the pull member 9 by both hands without much effort than pulling the handle 32 by both hands.

Of course, based on the same principle, the pulling element 9 may be made of not only elastic elements but also flexible ropes or hard elements hinged to each other, and the two ends do not have to be detachably hooked and can be hinged to the handle 32. These embodiments can achieve the above effects.
