On the top surface of the 11th, there are two ribs 9 arranged in parallel with the groove, and the ribs 9 are arranged on the top surface of the slot 11, near the two sides, the height of the rib 9 and the depth of the groove The same or slightly less than the depth of the groove, after the rib 9 is snapped into the groove, the adjusting member 4 is fixed to the limit position. When the position needs to be adjusted, the push and pull is forced to slide the rib 9 out of the groove and to the suitable position. Stop after.

At the bottom of the two sides of the slot 11, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, a flange 10 is provided which is directed toward the inner direction of the slot 11, and the top surface of the flange 10 abuts against the bottom surface of the fixing member 11, and is folded Between the bottom edge of the edge 11 and the bottom of the two sides of the slot 11, a guide angle is provided, which is easy to be inserted during installation, and the width of the flange 10 is small, which facilitates the interference of the flange 10 and the fixing member 3. Fitted with the installation, and can be fixed by the support. On both sides of the bottom of the fixing member 3, at the point of abutting against the hem 10, a plurality of grooves may be provided, the grooves are balanced and continuously arranged, and the grooves are arranged along the width direction of the fixing member 3 on the bottom surface of the fixing member 3. The upper surface of each of the flanges 10 is provided with a rib 9 disposed on the top surface of the flange 10, and the ribs 9 are disposed on the top surface of the slot 11 at a position close to the two sides, and the ribs are The height of the 9 is the same as or slightly smaller than the depth of the groove. After the rib 9 is snapped into the groove, the adjusting member 4 is fixed to the limit. When the position needs to be adjusted, the rib 9 is forcedly pushed and pulled from the groove. Slid out and stop after getting to the right position.

In the present invention, two embodiments are provided for the structure of the support structure, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, which is the first embodiment of the support structure in the present invention. In this embodiment, the support structure includes the support member 6. And the connecting member 5, the connecting member 5 is fixed at one end to the adjusting member 4, and one end is fixed to the supporting member 6. As shown in Fig. 3, the connecting member 5 is substantially L-shaped, including the vertical side arm 8 and the lateral side arm 7, and the lateral side The arm 7 is fixed to the adjusting member 4, and at a position above the center of the vertical side arm 8, a support member 6 is fixed, the bottom of the support member 6 is fixed to the vertical side arm 8, and the top is inclined upward, and the support member 6 is The angle between the top surface and the vertical side wall 8 ranges from 45° to 75°, preferably 60°, and the joint between the bottom surface of the support member 6 and the vertical side wall 8 is rounded to avoid The food residue remains, forming a dead corner, causing secondary pollution to the tableware. As shown in Fig. 3, the plane in which the support member 6 is located is perpendicular to the plane in which the connecting member 5 is located.

As shown in FIG. 4, in a second embodiment of the support structure, the support member 6 and the connecting member 5 are in the same plane, As shown in FIG. 4, the support member is substantially C-shaped, the open side of the bottom is fixed to the adjusting member 4, and the curved portion in the middle of the C-shape is fixed to the connecting member 5.

The support structures provided in the first embodiment and the second embodiment can be integrally formed with the adjusting member 4, thereby reducing the mold opening cost in the production period.

The present invention further provides a dishwasher capable of adjusting a fixed position according to various sizes of tableware. To achieve this, as shown in FIG. 5, in the washing basket 1 of the present dishwasher, the foregoing article is provided. The adjustable support structure 2 is described. The adjustable support structure 2 is fixed to the frame on the washing basket 1 by the fixing member 3, and the distance between the adjacent fixing members 3 can be adjusted as needed, that is, the position of the fixing member 3 on the washing basket 1 can be adjusted, and Determine if you need to set it up as needed.

The adjustable support structure 2 provided by the invention has a simple structure. Therefore, a plurality of adjustable members 3 and corresponding support structures can be disposed on the same fixing member 3, and a plurality of adjustable support structures can also be disposed in the same dishwasher. For example, when it is necessary to clean a non-standard and very-specified bowl in the dishwasher, two adjustment members 4 and a support structure are disposed on the same fixing member 3, and a total of two adjacent fixing members 3 are disposed. There are four adjusting members 4 and a supporting structure, such as the supporting structure described in the first embodiment, the supporting members 6 of the two supporting structures on the front side (provided on different fixing members 3) are inserted into the inner side of the bowl, and the adjacent sides are adjusted. The position of the two fixing members 3 is such that the supporting member 6 abuts against the side wall of the bowl, and the two supporting structures on the rear side are adjusted (disposed on different fixing members 3) so that the rear side of the connecting member 5 of the two supporting structures (non- The side facing the lateral side arm 7) abuts against the bottom of the bowl to support and secure the bowl by the four support structures. When the support structure described in the second embodiment is used, the C-shaped support members 6 of the two support structures on the front side abut against the top edge of the bowl body, and the rear side of the connecting member 5 of the rear two support structures (non- The side facing the lateral side arm 7) abuts against the bottom of the bowl to support and secure the bowl by the four support structures. This is an embodiment in which one bowl is fixed. In practical applications, the support members 6 of the two support structures on the rear side can be fixed at the same time and the front side of the other bowl body, that is, six support structures, which can fix two bowls. body. Moreover, in practical applications, the fixing direction between the adjusting member 4 and the fixing member 3 is adjustable, so that the direction of the supporting member 6 is adjusted as needed.

Adjusting the fixed position by adjusting the sliding member on the fixing member, thereby adjusting the fixing position of the supporting member, can support and fix the tableware of different shapes and sizes more generally, including but not limited to, such as baby tableware and auxiliary The food maker makes the adjustable support structure and the dishwasher more applicable, and at the same time, the tableware is effectively supported, which is more conducive to washing.

The above is an embodiment of the present invention, and it should be noted that various modifications and improvements can be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the principles of the present invention. protected range.
