Abstract

A dish rack includes a drainage rack and a drip tray, where the drip tray includes a fixed tray and a sliding tray that are connected to each other; a sliding groove is formed in the fixed tray; the sliding tray is slidably connected to the sliding groove; a limit portion is disposed on the sliding groove; when the sliding tray slides to a maximum distance away from the fixed tray, the sliding tray abuts against the limit portion, such that the fixed tray and the sliding tray are combined as a whole; and the fixed tray is provided with the drainage rack, or the sliding tray is provided with the drainage rack, or each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray is provided with the drainage rack. The sliding tray and the fixed tray move relatively to change a size of the drip tray.

Claims (24)

1 . A dish rack, comprising: a drainage rack and a drip tray, wherein

the drip tray comprises a fixed tray and a sliding tray, wherein the fixed tray and the sliding tray are connected to each other; a sliding groove is formed in the fixed tray; and the sliding tray is slidably connected to the sliding groove;

a limit portion is disposed on the sliding groove; and when the sliding tray slides to a maximum distance away from the fixed tray, the sliding tray abuts against the limit portion, such that the fixed tray and the sliding tray are combined as a whole; and

the fixed tray is provided with the drainage rack, or the sliding tray is provided with the drainage rack, or each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray is provided with the drainage rack;

wherein each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray comprises a bottom plate and a side plate connected to the bottom plate; and a gap is formed at a side of each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray; and

the gap of the fixed tray and the gap of the sliding tray are opposite to each other and are configured to interconnect with each other, such that the fixed tray and the sliding tray are slidably sleeved together; and the sliding tray is configured to slide to a position under the bottom plate of the fixed tray and partially overlaps with the fixed tray;

wherein a pair of guide rods are disposed on the side plate of the sliding tray, and the pair of guide rods are slidably connected to the fixed tray;

wherein the side plate of the fixed tray extends upward to form an upper extension portion; a pair of guide holes are formed in the upper extension portion; and first ends of the pair of guide rods are slidably connected to the pair of guide holes in one-to-one correspondence.

2 . The dish rack according to claim 1 , wherein the side plate of the fixed tray extends downward to form a lower extension portion; the sliding groove is formed between the lower extension portion and the bottom plate of the fixed tray; the side plate of the sliding tray is slidably disposed in the sliding groove; and the limit portion is disposed on the lower extension portion, and adjacent to the gap of the fixed tray.

3 . The dish rack according to claim 1 , wherein second ends of the pair of guide rods are connected through a connecting rod to form a U-shaped frame.

4 . The dish rack according to claim 3 , further comprising a drainage barrel, wherein the drainage barrel is detachably connected to the U-shaped frame.

5 . The dish rack according to claim 4 , wherein the drainage barrel comprises a barrel body, a first hook, and a second hook; the first hook and the second hook are disposed on the barrel body; and the barrel body is disposed on the U-shaped frame through the first hook or the second hook.

6 . The dish rack according to claim 1 , wherein the bottom plate of each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray is obliquely disposed; and along a sliding direction of the sliding tray away from the fixed tray, a horizontal height of the bottom plate of each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray gradually decreases.

7 . The dish rack according to claim 6 , wherein a guide plate is disposed on the bottom plate of the sliding tray, and the guide plate is located at a lowest position of the bottom plate of the sliding tray.

8 . The dish rack according to claim 6 , wherein a plurality of leakage holes are formed in the bottom plate of the fixed tray, and the plurality of leakage holes are located at a lowest position of the bottom plate of the fixed tray.

9 . The dish rack according to claim 1 , wherein a plurality of ridges are disposed on the bottom plate of each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray.

10 . The dish rack according to claim 1 , wherein a support leg is disposed at a bottom of each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray.

11 . A dish rack, comprising: a drainage rack and a drip tray, wherein

the drip tray comprises a fixed tray and a sliding tray, wherein the fixed tray and the sliding tray are connected to each other; a sliding groove is formed in the fixed tray; and the sliding tray is slidably connected to the sliding groove;

a limit portion is disposed on the sliding groove; and when the sliding tray slides to a maximum distance away from the fixed tray, the sliding tray abuts against the limit portion, such that the fixed tray and the sliding tray are combined as a whole; and

the fixed tray is provided with the drainage rack, or the sliding tray is provided with the drainage rack, or each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray is provided with the drainage rack;

wherein each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray comprises a bottom plate and a side plate connected to the bottom plate; and a gap is formed at a side of each of the fixed tray and the sliding tray; and

the gap of the fixed tray and the gap of the sliding tray are opposite to each other and are configured to interconnect with each other, such that the fixed tray and the sliding tray are slidably sleeved together; and the sliding tray is configured to slide to a position under the bottom plate of the fixed tray and partially overlaps with the fixed tray;

wherein a first fixing groove and a second fixing groove are formed in the bottom plate of the fixed tray; the first fixing groove is vertically disposed; the second fixing groove is horizontally disposed; and a group of opposite side edges of the drainage rack are respectively clamped with the first fixing groove and the second fixing groove in one-to-one correspondence.
