[0049] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar components or components having the same or similar functions throughout. The described embodiments are some, but not all, of the embodiments of this application. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this application, and should not be construed as limiting this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application. The embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, or the internal communication between two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] In the description of this application, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0052] The terms “first,” “second,” and “third” (if any) in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0053] Furthermore, the terms “comprising” and “having”, and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, system, product, or display that includes a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units that are explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units that are not explicitly listed or that are inherent to such process, method, product, or display.

[0054] In existing technology, the handle on the door is either embedded in the door body or protrudes from the front of the door surface. However, there is a certain distance between the handle and the top of the door. When a user opens the dishwasher door, they need to first grasp the handle to open the door. After opening it to a certain angle, the top of the door will touch their arm. At this point, the user must release the handle and hold onto the top of the door to complete the opening action. The user's door-opening process is complicated, and if the opening action is too sudden, the door may hit the arm, causing accidental injury.

[0055] After repeated consideration and verification, the inventors discovered that if the handle is located at the top of the door, and the operating surface is located at the top of the side of the handle opposite to the panel, with the distance between the operating surface and the panel gradually increasing from top to bottom, the operating surface provides space for the user's hand. When the user holds the handle and turns the door downwards to open it, there is no need to switch hands or change posture, and the door will not hit the arm during the opening process, preventing accidental injury. The door panel can cover the front of the door, and the panel has no functional obstructions or structural gaps. When the dishwasher is closed, the door has a complete decorative appearance, with an exquisite appearance and the top handle well concealed.

[0056] In view of this, the inventors designed a door assembly and dishwasher. The handle is positioned at the top of the door, and an operating surface is located on the top of the side of the handle facing away from the panel. The distance between the operating surface and the panel gradually increases from top to bottom. The side of the operating surface facing away from the panel provides space for the user to hold the handle, allowing the user to turn the door downwards to open it. The user does not need to switch hands or change posture when opening the door, and the door will not collide with the user's arm during the opening process, preventing accidental injury.

[0057] The technical solutions of the door assembly and dishwasher provided in the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0058] Reference Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the door assembly provided in this embodiment includes a display panel box 100, a support member 200, a handle 300, a panel 400, and a door liner 500. The display panel box 100 is mounted on top of the support member 200, and the handle 300 is mounted on top of the display panel box 100. The support member 200, the display panel box 100, and the handle 300 define a door unit. The handle 300 is a strip-shaped structure, the length of which extends along the width direction of the door assembly, and both ends of the handle 300 can be flush with both ends of the display panel box 100. There can be two support members 200, which are respectively disposed on both sides of the bottom of the display panel box 100. Those skilled in the art will understand that the support members 200 can ensure the structural strength of the door assembly, making the door assembly less prone to deformation. For example, the door unit defined by the support member 200, the display panel box 100, and the handle 300 is an approximately sheet-like structure.

[0059] Panel 400 is installed on one side of the door unit and covers the support 200, display panel box 100, and handle 300. A glass plate can be used as panel 400. After the display panel box 100, support 200, and handle 300 are pre-assembled into the door unit, they can be fixed to panel 400 by adhesive. Panel 400 can serve as the decorative surface of the door assembly, with the front of the door assembly being a full-length glass or other decorative surface, without any functional gaps or structural notches. When the dishwasher door is closed, the door assembly has a complete decorative appearance, with an elegant look and the top handle 300 well concealed.

[0060] Door insert 500 is installed on the other side of the door unit. For example, after the door unit is assembled with the panel 400, the door insert 500 is installed on the side of the door unit facing away from the panel 400. When the dishwasher is closed, the door insert 500 of the door assembly faces the inner tub of the dishwasher.

[0061] The handle 300 is located at the top of the door assembly. The top of the handle 300, away from the panel 400, is the operating surface 301. The distance between the operating surface 301 and the panel 400 gradually increases from top to bottom. When the dishwasher is closed, a handle groove is defined between the operating surface 301 and the inner tub. The width of this handle groove gradually increases from bottom to top. The handle groove provides space for the user to grip and open the door by holding the handle 300.

[0062] The door assembly provided in this embodiment has a handle 300 located at the top of the assembly. The top of the handle 300, facing away from the panel 400, is the operating surface 301. The distance between the operating surface 301 and the panel 400 gradually increases from top to bottom. The operating surface 301 of the handle 300 provides space for the user's grip, and placing the handle 300 at the top of the door assembly is more ergonomic. When the user needs to open the door assembly, they can hold the top of the handle 300 to open the door. The user can complete the opening action in one go, without needing to switch hands or change posture. The opening process is more convenient, and there is no possibility of the door coming into contact with any limbs other than the user's hands during the opening process, reducing the risk of accidental injury.

[0063] In one embodiment, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, a bottom wall 310 is provided on the side of the handle 300 facing the display panel box 100, and the bottom wall 310 is fixed to the display panel box 100 by adhesive.

[0064] The handle 300 and the display panel box 100 are two independent components. The display panel box 100 is universally compatible with door bodies that require other types of handles, which helps reduce the overall cost of the dishwasher. The top of the display panel box 100 has a flat surface. The handle 300 and the display panel box 100 are fixed together by adhesive, ensuring the reliability of the connection between them.

[0065] A first receiving groove 311 is provided on the side of the bottom wall 310 facing the display panel box 100. The first receiving groove 311 is recessed on the side away from the display panel box 100 and is configured to receive adhesive.

[0066] The first receiving groove 311 can be integrally formed on the bottom wall 310 of the handle 300. The cross-sectional shape of the first receiving groove 311 can be rectangular or circular or other suitable shapes. The opening of the first receiving groove 311 faces downward. The number of first receiving grooves 311 can be one or more, and there is no unique limitation. During the assembly of the door assembly, adhesive can be applied to the position of the first receiving groove 311 first, and the handle 300 can be pressed against the top of the display panel box 100. During the pressing process, the adhesive is evenly distributed in the first receiving groove 311 under pressure, and the adhesive in the first receiving groove 311 is in contact with the display panel box 100 to achieve the fixation between the handle 300 and the display panel box 100.

[0067] In this embodiment, while ensuring the reliability of the connection between the handle 300 and the display panel box 100, the adhesive between the handle 300 and the display panel box 100 is accommodated by the first receiving groove 311, so that the adhesive is not easy to overflow from between the handle 300 and the display panel box 100, which helps to ensure the appearance of the door assembly.

[0068] In other embodiments, the handle 300 and the display panel box 100 may also be fixed by means of fasteners or snap-fit ​​connections, which is not the only one.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 2-5 As shown, a first overflow groove 312 with an upward indentation is provided on the side of the bottom wall 310 facing the display panel box 100. The first overflow groove 312 is arranged around the outside of the first receiving groove 311, and the depth of the first overflow groove 312 is greater than the depth of the first receiving groove 311.

[0070] The opening of the first overflow groove 312 faces the display panel box 100, and the first overflow groove 312 can be formed on the bottom wall 310 of the handle 300 by integral molding. In this embodiment, the depth of the first overflow groove 312 and the first receiving groove 311 is not limited, and those skilled in the art can set them as needed. For example, the first overflow groove 312 is located at the outer edge of the first receiving groove 311. When there are multiple first receiving grooves 311, multiple first overflow grooves 312 can be provided, and each first overflow groove 312 is arranged around a first receiving groove 311. Alternatively, only one first overflow groove 312 can be provided, which surrounds multiple first receiving grooves 311.

[0071] In this embodiment, the first overflow groove 312 is equivalent to a canyon-type structure with a large depth. During the process of squeezing the handle 300 and the display panel box 100, the adhesive flowing out from the first receiving groove 311 can flow into the first overflow groove 312, which effectively prevents the adhesive squeezed out of the first receiving groove 311 from overflowing between the handle 300 and the display panel box 100, and further improves the appearance of the door assembly.

[0072] After the display panel box 100, handle 300, and support member 200 are pre-assembled into a door unit, adhesive can be applied to each of the display panel box 100, handle 300, and support member 200, and then they can be bonded and fixed to the panel 400 respectively. In one possible implementation, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, a connecting wall 320 is provided on the side of the handle 300 facing the panel 400, and the connecting wall 320 is fixed to the panel 400 with adhesive. The extending direction of the connecting wall 320 can be parallel to the extending direction of the panel 400, and the adhesive can ensure the reliability of the connection between the handle 300 and the panel 400.

[0073] A second receiving groove 321 is provided on the side of the connecting wall 320 facing the panel 400. The second receiving groove 321 is recessed on the side away from the panel 400 and is configured to receive adhesive.

[0074] The opening of the second receiving groove 321 faces the panel 400. The cross-sectional shape of the second receiving groove 321 can be square or circular or other suitable shapes. The second receiving groove 321 can be formed on the connecting wall 320 by integral molding. During the assembly of the door assembly, the display panel box 100, handle 300 and support member 200 are attached and pressed to the panel 400 as components. Adhesive can be applied to the position of the second receiving groove 321 first. During the bonding process between the handle 300 and the panel 400, the adhesive in the second receiving groove 321 is evenly distributed under pressure within the second receiving groove 321.

[0075] This structure, through the second receiving groove 321 to receive the adhesive between the handle 300 and the panel 400, makes it less likely for the adhesive to overflow from between the handle 300 and the panel 400, which helps to improve the appearance and refinement of the door assembly.

[0076] In one specific implementation, such as Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, a second overflow groove 322 is provided on the side of the connecting wall 320 facing the panel 400. The second overflow groove 322 is recessed on the side away from the panel 400. The second overflow groove 322 is arranged around the outside of the second receiving groove 321. The depth of the second overflow groove 322 is greater than the depth of the second receiving groove 321.

[0077] The second overflow groove 322 is located on the outer edge of the second receiving groove 321, and can be integrally formed onto the connecting wall 320. The opening of the second overflow groove 322 also faces the panel 400, and the adhesive flowing out of the second receiving groove 321 can flow into the second overflow groove 322. Those skilled in the art can set the depth of the second receiving groove 321 and the second overflow groove 322 according to actual needs, and no unique limitation is made here.

[0078] Understandably, the second adhesive overflow groove 322 is also equivalent to a canyon-type structure with a greater depth, which prevents the adhesive from overflowing from the second receiving groove 321 due to pressure and thus further improves the appearance and refinement of the door assembly.

[0079] like Figure 4 As shown, a through hole 330 is provided on the bottom wall 310, and the through hole 330 communicates with the first receiving groove 311. The through hole 330 can be formed in the bottom wall 310 of the first receiving groove 311, and one or more through holes 330 can be formed on the handle 300 corresponding to each position of the first receiving groove 311. The through holes 330 on the bottom wall 310 can increase the contact area between the adhesive in the first receiving groove 311 and the air, accelerate the curing speed of the adhesive in the first receiving groove 311, and improve the bonding efficiency between the handle 300 and the display panel box 100.

[0080] Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, a through hole 330 is provided on the connecting wall 320, and the through hole 330 communicates with the second receiving groove 321. The through hole 330 can be formed in the bottom wall 310 of the second receiving groove 321, and one or more through holes 330 can be formed on the handle 300 corresponding to each position in the second receiving groove 321. The through holes 330 on the connecting wall 320 can increase the contact area between the adhesive in the second receiving groove 321 and the air, accelerate the curing speed of the adhesive in the second receiving groove 321, and improve the bonding efficiency between the handle 300 and the panel 400.

[0081] In one embodiment, such as Figures 8-12 As shown, the handle 300 and the display panel box 100 are integrated. That is to say, the handle 300 is designed on the top of the display panel box 100 to avoid gaps between the handle 300 and the display panel box 100, which helps to increase the refinement of the door assembly.

[0082] The door assembly also includes a connector 600, which is installed on the side of the display panel box 100 facing the panel 400. The connector 600 is fixed to the panel 400 with adhesive. The connector 600 acts as an auxiliary adhesive strip and can be positioned near the top of the display panel box 100. During assembly, adhesive is applied to the connector 600, and simultaneously, adhesive is applied to corresponding positions on the display panel box 100 and the support member 200. The connector 600 is then adhered to and pressed against the panel 400 in a modular form, forming a sturdy door assembly.

[0083] The number of connectors 600 is not limited, for example... Figure 10 As shown, a longer connector 600 can be provided on the display panel box 100, or it can be as follows: Figure 9 As shown, two slightly shorter connectors 600 can be arranged side by side on the display panel box 100.

[0084] It is worth mentioning that the housing of the display panel box 100 is generally manufactured by injection molding. Due to the limitations of the molding process, the top side of the display panel box 100 facing the panel 400 and the side facing away from the panel 400 cannot both be made flat. By installing the connector 600 on the handle 300, the side of the connector 600 facing the panel 400 can be made flat. Fixing the connector 600 to the panel 400 with adhesive can ensure the reliability of the connection between the panel 400 and the display panel box 100.

[0085] In this embodiment, while further increasing the sophistication of the door components, it is also possible to ensure that the display panel box 100 and its handle 300 can be reliably fixed to the panel 400.

[0086] In a specific embodiment, such as Figures 9-13 As shown, the display panel box 100 is provided with a downward-opening limiting groove 110, and the top of the connector 600 is provided with a limiting block 610, which extends into the limiting groove 110. For example, a limiting wall is provided near the top of the display panel box 100, the top of which is connected to the main body of the display panel box 100, and the remaining part of the limiting wall is spaced apart from the main body of the display panel box 100. The limiting groove 110 is defined between the limiting wall and the main body of the display panel box 100. The limiting block 610 protrudes from the main body of the connector 600. When the limiting block 610 extends upward into the limiting groove 110, the cooperation between the limiting groove 110 and the limiting block 610 can restrict the top of the connector 600 from approaching or moving away from the panel 400. Due to structural limitations in the top handle 300 area of ​​the display panel box 100, there is not enough space for claws or screws to connect the top area of ​​the display panel box 100. The top of the connector 600 is connected to the display panel box 100 by means of the cooperation between the limiting groove 110 and the limiting block 610.

[0087] A hook 120 is provided on one of the bottom end of the connector 600 and the position of the display panel box 100 below the limiting groove 110, and a buckle 620 is provided on the other of the bottom end of the connector 600 and the position of the display panel box 100 below the limiting groove 110. The hook 120 and the buckle 620 are engaged and connected.

[0088] For example, such as Figure 12 and Figure 13 As shown, a hook 120 can be provided at the position below the limiting groove 110 on the display panel box 100, and correspondingly, a buckle 620 is provided at the bottom end of the connector 600. When the limiting block 610 at the top of the connector 600 extends into the limiting groove 110 on the display panel box 100, the bottom of the connector 600 is connected to the display panel box 100 by the engagement of the hook 120 and the buckle 620. In other embodiments, a buckle 620 can also be provided at the position below the limiting groove 110 on the display panel box 100, and a hook 120 can be provided at the bottom end of the connector 600.

[0089] The above-described configuration allows the connector 600 to be reliably fixed to the display panel box 100, and the fixing of the connector 600 to the display panel box 100 is relatively easy.

[0090] Furthermore, such as Figures 9-12 as well as Figure 14 As shown, the display panel box 100 and the connector 600 are fastened together by fasteners.

[0091] For example, a screw hole 630 can be provided at the bottom of the connector 600, and a screw post 130 can be provided on the display panel box 100. When the connector 600 is positioned on the display panel box 100, the position of the screw hole 630 corresponds to the screw post 130. A fastener can be passed through the screw hole 630 and locked onto the screw post 130 to lock the connector 600 to the display panel box 100. By locking the connector 600 onto the display panel box 100 with the fastener, the connector 600 is prevented from falling off the display panel box 100.

[0092] This application also provides a dishwasher, such as Figure 1 As shown, the dishwasher includes a body 20 and the aforementioned door assembly, with an opening on the side of the body 20. Users can place dishes into the body 20 through the opening and remove dishes from inside the body 20 through the opening. The bottom of the door assembly is rotatably mounted on the body 20 to open or close the opening. The dishwasher door can be opened or closed by rotating the door assembly.

[0093] When the door assembly closes the opening, the top of the door assembly extends beyond the body 20. That is, after closing the opening, the top of the door assembly is higher than the top surface of the body 20. Accordingly, the operating surface 301 of the handle 300 is located above the top surface of the body 20. This arrangement ensures that the handle 300 of the door assembly does not affect the seal between the door assembly and the body 20.

[0094] Furthermore, after the dishwasher is installed in the cabinet, the door assembly can be located at the outer end of the cabinet, flush with the cabinet door. When the door assembly is closed, the top of the door assembly can be flush with the top surface of the cabinet, which helps improve the appearance of the cabinet after the dishwasher is installed. The dishwasher blends seamlessly into the cabinet design, without any discordant gaps or external protrusions.

[0095] The dishwasher provided in this application, due to the adoption of the aforementioned door assembly, allows users to open the door by holding the top of the handle 300. Users can complete the opening action in one go, without needing to switch hands or change posture. Furthermore, there is no possibility of the door coming into contact with any limbs other than the user's hands during the opening process, reducing the risk of accidental injury. The front of the door assembly is a full-length glass or other decorative surface. When the dishwasher is closed, the door assembly maintains a complete decorative appearance, with an elegant design and well-concealed top handle 300.
