The specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood in specific cases to those skilled in the art.

In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below may be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

Example 1

As shown in fig. 1 to 7, the bowl and basket assembly provided for this embodiment includes: a bowl basket 1; the limiting structure 2 comprises a fixing part 21 arranged on the bowl basket 1 and a limiting part 22 movably arranged on the fixing part 21; the position-limiting part 22 has a first state extending towards the lower end of the bowl basket 1 and a second state retracting towards the upper end of the bowl basket 1 under the driving of external force.

The bowl basket component is installed in the inner container of the dish washing machine in a push-pull mode, wherein the bowl basket component is provided with the idler wheel 3, so that the push-pull effect on the bowl basket 1 is conveniently achieved.

The bowl basket subassembly in this embodiment, when installing inside the dish washer, spacing portion 22 among the limit structure 2 extends towards the lower tip of bowl basket 1, generally can go deep into the below of gyro wheel 3 in the position to with the structure cooperation on the dish washer, prevent that bowl basket subassembly is at the in-process of pulling out, the pull-out volume is too big, leads to bowl basket subassembly to press on the dish washer door body, leads to the dish washer focus unstability even, takes place the problem of turning on one's side. Further, when the user need wash bowl basket subassembly, can directly with bowl basket unit mount on the horizontally desktop, at this moment, spacing portion 22 is at the effect of butt forces such as desktop down the upper end of bowl basket 1 returns and contracts, avoids protruding the gyro wheel structure in the bowl basket subassembly when spacing portion extends, leads to bowl basket subassembly can't place smooth problem.

Wherein, for the convenience of limit structure's change and maintenance, design fixed part 21 as detachably and install on bowl basket 1. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, four first buckles 211 are processed on the fixing portion 21, and are clamped on the ribs 11 of the bowl basket 1 through the first buckles 211, so that the fixing manner of the buckles is simple to mount, and the buckles are directly matched with the ribs 11, thereby simplifying the structural design. In other embodiments, the number of the above-mentioned snaps may be set to only one for simplicity of structure and reduction of cost. Of course, the actual number of settings can be designed according to the needs of the user. Further, the first buckles 211 in this embodiment are arranged at intervals along the extending and retracting direction of the limiting portion 22, and the interval size corresponds to the rib interval size of the bowl basket 1. The spacing dimension is corresponding to that of the ribs, so that convenience is brought to users to adjust the spacing height of the spacing structure, and the dishwasher is suitable for different series of dishwasher products.

In this embodiment, a sliding groove 212 is formed in the fixing portion 21, the limiting portion 22 is telescopically disposed in the sliding groove 212, and the limiting portion 22 is limited in the sliding groove 212 to perform reciprocating motion, so as to ensure the stability of the operation of the limiting portion 22. Of course, in some other embodiments, the sliding groove 212 may be disposed on the surface of the fixing portion 21, and the limiting portion 22 may be inserted into the sliding groove 212.

In order to restrict the limiting portion 22 from sliding out of the sliding groove 212 in this embodiment, the limiting structure 2 further includes a baffle 23, the baffle 23 is detachably disposed at the groove of the sliding groove 212, specifically, the baffle 23 is fastened to the fixing portion 21, a second fastener 232 is processed at the circumferential edge of the baffle 23, a chuck 213 matched with the second fastener 232 is processed at the lower end face edge of the fixing portion 21, and when the fixing is performed, the baffle 23 is fastened to the lower end portion of the fixing portion 21, so that the fixing can be achieved. In the embodiment, the baffle 23 is provided with a limiting opening 231, and the size of the limiting opening 231 is slightly larger than that of the body of the limiting part 22, so that the limiting part 22 can slide in the limiting part 22 conveniently. The upper end of the position-limiting part 22 is provided with a rib 221, and the rib 221 limits the position-limiting part 22 to slide out of the position-limiting opening 231.

The spacing structure 2 in this embodiment further includes elastic restoring members 24, and in this embodiment, two elastic restoring members 24 are installed in the sliding groove 212 to drive the spacing portion 22 to restore from the second state to the second state. The elastic restoring member 24 is constructed in a compression spring structure, which is simple in structure. When the bowl basket assembly is taken out and cleaned, the structure in contact with the supporting surface is the roller structure, and the roller structure easily causes the bowl basket assembly to move and is not beneficial to cleaning in the cleaning process, so the elastic reset piece is arranged in the bowl basket assembly, the limiting part is tightly abutted to the supporting surface by the elastic reset piece, the friction force between the whole bowl basket assembly and the supporting surface is increased, and the bowl basket assembly is prevented from moving in the cleaning process.

Further, in order to increase the friction force, a rubber pad may be installed at the lower end of the limiting portion 22 to increase the friction force and prevent the lower end of the limiting portion 22 from scratching the supporting surface.

Of course, in other embodiments, the elastic restoring member 24 may also be an elastic rubber pad, an elastic sheet, or the like.

In other embodiments, the number of the elastic restoring members 24 is one, three, etc.

In this embodiment, the guide posts 214 are formed in the sliding slot 212 side by side, the elastic restoring member 24 is inserted into the guide posts 214, and the limiting portion 22 is formed with guide holes 222 corresponding to the guide posts 214. The elastic reset piece 24, i.e. a compression spring, is connected on the guide post 214 in a penetrating manner, so that the consistency of the compression direction of the compression spring in the compression process is ensured, and the problem of clamping caused by deflection of the compression spring in the return direction is prevented. Further, the cooperation of the guide posts 214 and the guide holes 222 ensures the stability of the operation of the limiting portion 22 on the fixing portion 21.

In summary, in the present embodiment, the position-limiting portion 22 of the bowl basket assembly extends to the lower side of the roller 3 under the driving of the elastic restoring member 24 in a normal state, so as to realize the position-limiting function in the process of pulling out the bowl basket. When a user needs to clean the bowl basket assembly and place the bowl basket assembly on the supporting surface, the gravity of the bowl basket can press the limiting portion 22 downwards to retract into the sliding groove, so that the supporting stability is guaranteed, and the bowl basket is convenient for the user to clean.
