For example, the first container 50 may be a dish, and the second container 60 may be a bowl. Although the first and second containers 50 and 60 include the dish and bowl in the drawings, the first and second containers 50 and 60 may include containers having various shapes, i.e., a pot and a frying-fan.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view illustrating one example of a manipulated state of a support part in the rack device according to the first embodiment. Fig. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the other example of a manipulation state of the support part in the rack device. Fig. 5 is a partially enlarged view illustrating a rotation state of the support part in the rack device according to the first embodiment. Fig. 6 is a perspective view illustrating a state in which dishes having various sizes are received in the rack device according to the first embodiment.
Referring to Figs. 3 to 6, the rack device 100 according to the first embodiment includes a receiving frame 110 defining an outer appearance, a support part 120 disposed inside the receiving frame 110 to support a dish, and rotational central portions 131 and 132 providing rotation centers so that the support part 120 is movable.
A plurality of wire frames may be coupled to each other with a predetermined distance to form the receiving frame 110. The receiving frame 110 may include a side frame 111 having a predetermined height and a lower frame 112 for providing a dish seat part.
A plurality of receiving parts are disposed in a receiving space defined by the receiving frame 110. The plurality of receiving parts include a first receiving part 101 defined in a side of a lower portion of the receiving space, a second receiving part 102 defined in the other side of the lower portion of the receiving space, a third receiving part defined in a side of an upper portion of the receiving space, and a fourth receiving part 104 defined in the other side of the upper portion of the receiving space.
The first, second, third, and fourth receiving parts 101, 102, 103, and 104 may be disposed on both sides with respect to the support coupling part 140, i.e., first and second accommodation parts 141 and 142 that will be described below, respectively, and thus be classified according to their positions.
The plurality of receiving parts 101, 102, 103, and 104 may be classified according to a kind of dish to be received. In detail, when the support part 120 is manipulated, i.e., when the support part 120 stands up or is laid down, a dish having a large width may be received into the first receiving part 101, and a bowl having a large width may be received into the second receiving part 102. Also, a dish having a large width such as a pot may be received into the third or fourth receiving part 103 or 104.
For example, when all of the support parts stand up, a dish having a large width may be received. Also, when a portion of the support parts 120 is laid down, a bowl having a slightly large width may be received. When all of the supports 120 are lied down, a dish having a very large width such as a pot may be received (see Fig. 6). Hereinafter, an operation of a structure for supporting a dish will be described in detail.
In the current embodiment, the first reception part 101 will be described as an example. That is, the current embodiment may be applied to the other receiving parts 102, 103, and 104.
The first receiving part 101 includes a plurality of support parts 121 and 122 aligned in two rows and a plurality of rotation shafts defining a rotation center of each of the support parts 121 and 122.
Here, the plurality of support parts 121 and 122 disposed in the two rows may be called "support part assemblies". In summary, the support part assemblies 121 and 122 may be understood that a plurality of support parts constituting one row are disposed in two rows. Although the support part assemblies include the support part 121 and 122 disposed in the two rows in Fig. 3, the support part assemblies may include the support parts 121 and 122 disposed in the two or more rows.
The plurality of support parts 121 and 122 constituting one row (hereinafter, referred to as a "first row") include the first and second support parts 121 and 122. The first and second support parts 121 and 122 may be constituted by a plurality of extension parts extending upward from the lower frame 112.
For example, the first support part 121 includes a plurality of extension parts 121a, 121b, and 121c (see Fig. 5). The plurality of extension parts 121a, 121b, and 121c are spaced a predetermined distance from each other. For example, the second support part 122 includes a plurality of extension parts 122a and 122b (see Fig. 5). The plurality of extension parts 122a and 122b are spaced a predetermined distance from each other.
A first rotational central portion 131 defining a rotation center of the first support part 121 is disposed under the first support part 121. The first rotational central portion 131 may be rotated together with the first support part 121 in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
Also, a second rotational central portion 132 defining a rotation center of the second support part 122 is disposed under the second support part 122. The second rotational central portion 132 may be rotated together with the second support part 122 in a clockwise or counter-clockwise direction.
The first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 may extend adjacent to each other in parallel or side by side.
The support coupling part 140 may include the first accumulation part 141 for accumulating the first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 at the same time. The first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 may be rotated in a state where they are received into the first accumulation part 141.
The first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 coupled to the first accumulation part 141 and the first and second support parts 121 and 122 rotated around the first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 as rotation centers may constitute one row (hereinafter, referred to as a "first row").
The first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 may be rotatably coupled to a support part holder 150. That is, ends of sides of the first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 may be coupled to the first accumulation part 141, and ends of the other sides may be coupled to the support part holder 150.
An insertion hole (not shown) in which the first or second rotational central portion 131 or 132 is inserted may be defined in the support part holder 150. When the first or second rotational central portion 131 and 132 is inserted, at least one portion of the support part holder 150 may be elastically deformed.
The support coupling part 140 includes a second accumulation part 142. The first accumulation part 141 is disposed on one side of the support coupling part 140, and the second accumulation part 142 is disposed on the other side of the support coupling part 140. The second accumulation part 142 may be coupled to the first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 constituting the other row (hereinafter, referred to as a "second row").
That is, the first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 coupled to the second accumulation part 142 and the first and second support parts 121 and 122 rotated with respect to the first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 as rotation centers may constitute the second row.
The support parts and rotational central portions provided on the second receiving part 102 may be separately operated with respect to the support parts 121 and 122 and the rotational central portions 131 and 132 of the first receiving part 101.
The rotational central portion of the second receiving part 102 is coupled to the first accumulation part 141 in a state where the second receiving part 102 is separated from the rotational central portions 131 and 132. Thus, the rotational central portions 131 and 132 of the first receiving part 101 and the rotational central portions of the second receiving part 102 may be independently operated (rotated) with respect to each other.
The rack device 100 includes a guide roller 115 for guiding the movement of the rack device 100. The rack device 100 may be easily withdrawn to the outside of the tub 11 by the guide roller 115.
Fig. 3 illustrates a state in which the first and second support parts 121 and 122 disposed on the first receiving part 101 stand up, i.e., a state in which the first and second support parts 121 and 122 extend upward from the lower frame 112. On the other hand, Fig. 4 illustrates a state in which the first support part 121 is folded, i.e., a state in which the first support part 121 is rotated toward the lower frame 112 and the second support part 122 stands up.
Referring to Fig. 5, structures and operations of the first and second support parts 121 and 122 will be described in detail.
The first support part 121 includes the plurality of extension parts 121a, 121b, and 121c extending upward from the first rotation central portion 131. The extension parts include a first extension part 121a, a second extension part 121b, and a third extension part 121c which are spaced from each other. Here, the plurality of extension parts 121a, 121b, and 121c may be called a "first support extension part".
In detail, the first extension part 121a and the second extension part 121b may parallelly extend spaced a distance (interval) L1 from each other, and the second extension part 121b and the third extension part 121c may parallely extend a distance L2 from each other. The first, second, and third extension parts 121a, 121b, and 121c may be repeatedly provided in plurality.
The distance L2 may be twice as large as the distance L1. A dish may be received into a space between the extension parts having the distances L1 and L2 therebetween.
The second support part 122 includes the plurality of extension parts 122a and 122b extending upward from the second rotation central portion 132. The extension parts may include a fourth extension part 122a and a fifth extension part 122b which are spaced from each other. Here, the plurality of extension parts 122a, and 122b may be called a "first support extension part".
In detail, the fourth and fifth extension parts 122a and 122b may be spaced a distance L2 from each other and extend parallel to each other. The fourth and fifth extension parts 122a and 122b may be repeatedly provided in plurality.
The distance L3 may be twice as large as the distance L1. A dish may be received into a space between the extension parts having the distance L3 therebetween. Here, the received dish may be a dish having a somewhat large width. The distances L1, L2, and L3 may be called a "first distance", a "second distance", and a "third distance" for convenience, respectively.
The first support part 121 may be rotated with respect to the first rotational central portion 131 in one direction (clockwise direction) or in the other direction (counter clockwise direction). Although the first support part 121 is folded while being rotated with respect to the first rotational central portion 131 in the counter-clockwise direction in Fig. 5, the first support part 121 may be folded while being rotated with respect to the first rotational central portion 131 in the clockwise direction.
When the first and second support parts 121 and 122 stand up, the first and second extension parts 121a and 121b may be disposed between the fourth extension 122a and the fifth extension part 122b. Also, the distance L3 between the fourth extension part 122a and the fifth extension part 122b may be divided into three receiving spaces (dish support spaces) having a distance L1 by the first and second extension parts 121a and 121b.
The distance L2 between the second extension part 121b and the third extension part 121c may be divided into two receiving spaces (dish support spaces) having a distance L1 by the fifth extension part 122b.
As described above, when the first and second support parts stand up, a dish having a somewhat small width may be received in the receiving space having the distance L1.
As shown in Fig. 5, when the first support part 121 is folded and the second support part 122 stands up, a dish having a somewhat large width, e.g., a bowl may be received into the receiving space of the second support part 122 having the distance L3.
On the other hand, when the first support part 121 stands up and the second support part 122 is folded, two kinds of dishes different from each other may be received into the receiving space having the distances L1 and L2. That is, a dish having a first width may be received into the receiving space having the distance L1, and a dish having a second width greater than the first width may be received into the receiving space having the distance L2.
As described above, dishes having sizes different from each other may be received according to manipulation positions of the first and second support parts 121 and 122.
That is to say, various dishes may be received according to whether the first and second support parts 121 and 122 stand up (are disposed on a first position) or are folded (are disposed on a second position).
Thus, according to dishes to be washed, a user may selectively adjust a size of the receiving space (storing space) so that the first and second support parts 121 and 122 are disposed on adequate positions.
Since the first and second rotational central portions 131 and 132 extend parallel to each other, when the first support part 121 is folded, the first support part may not interfere with the second support part 122 and be smoothly rotated until the first support part 121 reaches a position at which the first support part is folded. Similarly, the second support part 122 may not interfere with the first support part 121 and be rotated until the second support part 122 is folded.
Fig. 6 illustrate a state in which containers 50, 60, and 70 having various sizes are received into the rack device 100 through above-described manipulations. As shown in Fig. 6, the first container 50 having the smallest width (thickness) may be received into the third receiving part 103, and the second container 60 having a width greater than that of the first container 50 may be received into the fourth receiving part 104. Also, the third container having a width greater than those of the first and second containers 50 and 60 may be received into the first receiving part 101.
However, the present disclosure is not limited to the above-described receiving configuration. The received positions of the first, second, and third containers 50, 60, and 70 may be varied according to the manipulation positions of the support parts 121 and 122.
Another embodiment will now be described.
In third and fourth receiving parts according to the current embodiment, one rotational central portion is received into a receiving part, and a support part is coupled to the one rotational central portion.
According to the above-described structure, when the support part stands up, a dish having a narrow width such as a plate may be supported. When the support part is folded, a dish having a wide width such as a bowl may be supported.
However, on the other hand, each of the third and fourth receiving parts 103 and 104 may have the same structure as that of the first receiving part 101 described above. That is, in the third and fourth receiving parts 103 and 104, a plurality of rotational central portions may be coupled to an accumulation part, and support parts different from each other may be rotatably coupled to each of the rotational central portions.
Hereinafter, second and third embodiments will be described. The current embodiments are equal to the first embodiment except for a structure of a support part. Thus, different points therebetween will be mainly described and descriptions of the same parts will be quoted from descriptions and reference numerals of the first embodiment.
Fig. 7 is a view of a support assembly in a rack device according to a second embodiment.
Referring to Fig. 7, a rack device 100 according to a second embodiment includes a plurality of support parts 221 and 222 and a plurality of rotational central portions 231 and 232 respectively coupled to the plurality of support parts 221 and 222. The plurality of rotational central portions 231 and 232 may be received first and second accumulation parts 141 and 142, respectively.
The plurality of support parts 221 and 222 may include a first support part 221 and a second support part 222 which include extension parts extending with the same distance as each other.
In detail, the first support part 221 includes a plurality of extension parts extending with the same distance L4 as each other. Here, the extension parts will be quoted from the descriptions of the first embodiment. Also, the second support part 222 includes a plurality of extension parts extending with the same distance L5 as each other.
When the first and second support parts 221 and 222 stand up, the extension parts (first support extension parts) constituting the first support part 221 and the extension parts (second support extension parts) constituting the second support part 222 may be alternately disposed.
A distance L6 spaced between the first support extension part and the second support extension part may be about half of the distance L4 or L5. When all of the first support part 221 and the second support part 222 stand up, a dish having a size receivable into the distance L6 may be supported.
On the other hand, when one of the first and second support parts 221 and 222 is folded, a dish having a size receivable into the distance L4 or L5 may be supported. As described above, dishes different from each other may be selectively received according to the manipulation positions of the first and second support parts 221 and 222.
Fig. 8 is a view of a support part in a rack device according to a third embodiment.
Referring to Fig. 8, a rack device 100 according to a third embodiment includes a first support part 321 rotatably disposed with respect to a first rotational central portion 331 as a rotation center and a second support part 322 rotatably disposed with respect to a second rotational central portion 332 as a rotation center.
The first and second rotational central portions 331 and 332 may be rotatably coupled to first and second accumulation parts 141 and 142.
The first rotational central portion 331 may be inserted into the second rotational central portion 332. That is, the first rotational central portion 331 is received into the second rotational central portion 332.
In detail, the second rotational central portion 332 has a guide hole 333 for guiding the rotation of the first support part 321.
The guide hole 333 may be a cut portion formed by cutting an outer surface of the second rotational central portion 332 in a radius direction. When the first support part 321 is rotated, the guide hole 333 may prevent the first support part 321 from interfering with the second rotational central portion 332.
Thus, the first and second support parts 321 and 322 may be independently operated without interfering with each other. Also, according to the manipulation positions of the first and second support parts 321 and 322, dishes having various sizes may be received.

Industrial Applicability

According to the embodiments, since the receiving part of the rack device can receive dishes having various size, industrial applicability may be significantly high.
