Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning machines, and in particular to a cleaning machine capable of improving the sealing performance of a door body. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, dishwashers, as a kitchen appliance, are increasingly entering households. Currently, dishwashers on the market are generally divided into three types: desktop, cabinet, and tank. Among them, desktop dishwashers are integrated independent structures and are generally placed on the table for use; cabinet dishwashers are also independent structures, but need to be embedded in kitchen cabinets for use; tank dishwashers are combined with sinks and are generally installed in kitchen cabinets for use.

[0003] Due to the limitation of the cabinet, the door structure of the sink-type cleaning machine is generally a flap-type structure, such as the structure disclosed in the Chinese patent application "Sink-type cleaning machine" (application number: CN201710939807.5) with application publication number CN108056732A, in which the cleaning machine has a sink body with a washing space and an open top, and a cover plate that is movably arranged on the top of the sink body and can be opened or closed relative to the top opening of the sink body. The edge of the cover plate is connected to the top open edge of the sink body through a damping shaft. When opening, the cover plate needs to be manually flipped backwards. When closing, the user needs to press the door body by hand, which is not only inconvenient to use, but also the door body that is naturally pressed down by gravity has poor sealing with the top open edge of the sink body. When the water temperature in the sink is high, there is a problem of overflow, which affects the use.

[0004] Therefore, for current water tank type cleaning machine, further improvement needs to be made. Summary of the invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cleaning machine capable of keeping the door body and the top edge of the water tank body in a relatively tight state at all times so as to improve the sealing performance in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0006] Another technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cleaning machine which can automatically roll up or unfold the door body and is easy to operate in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a cleaning machine, including a sink body and a door body, the sink body is hollow inside to form a washing space, the washing space has a top opening, and the door body can be arranged on the sink body to open or close the top opening, characterized in that: the door body can be arranged on the sink body to open and close horizontally relative to the top opening, the edge of the top opening is provided with a first sealing gasket and a second sealing gasket arranged at intervals up and down, and the edge of the top opening is also provided with an elastic component that constrains the second sealing gasket and keeps the first sealing gasket always in a tendency to stick to the closed door body.

This structure always plays a role of pushing up the first sealing gasket, thereby improving the sealing effect between the closed door body and the first sealing gasket.

[0009] The elastic component of the present invention comprises

[0010] The support column is cylindrical and the lower part of the support column is hollow to form an assembly cavity;

[0011] An elastic sleeve is arranged at the upper end of the support column, the elastic sleeve is in an umbrella-like structure with a small upper end and a large lower end and can shrink or bounce in the radial direction under external force;

[0052] In this embodiment, the outer edge of the top opening 101 of the water tank body 1 is formed with a horizontally arranged support platform 12 that can be relatively fitted with the door body 2. The outer edge of the support platform 12 has a peripheral edge 13 arranged higher than the upper surface of the support platform 12. The peripheral edge 13 is provided with a slide groove 131 arranged in the direction of the vertical scroll 3. Correspondingly, a guide block 22 that can cooperate with the slide groove 131 is provided on the side wall of the door body 2 away from the scroll 3. This structure can ensure that the door body 2 is always constrained at the edge of the top opening 101 during the rolling or stretching process, and provide a guiding effect for the opening and closing of the door body 2.

[0053] The support platform 12 of the present embodiment is provided with a sealing component 5 arranged along the periphery of the top opening 101, and the upper surface of the sealing component 5 is arranged below the slide groove 131. The sealing component 5 includes a first sealing pad 51, a second sealing pad 52, and an elastic component 53 that can at least keep the first sealing pad 51 in an upwardly lifted state, which are arranged at intervals from top to bottom. Among them, the first sealing pad 51 is made of materials such as silicone and rubber with relatively high elasticity, and the second sealing pad 52 mainly plays the role of positioning and installing the first sealing pad 51 and the elastic component 53. Therefore, the second sealing pad 52 is made of a plastic plate or metal plate material with a relatively hard texture. The elastic component 53 of the present embodiment is constrained on the second sealing pad 52 and keeps the first sealing pad 51 in a tendency to always be in close contact with the closed door body 2. The first sealing gasket 51 and the second sealing gasket 52 are both arranged on the support platform 12 and the lower surface of the first sealing gasket 51 is bonded to the upper surface of the second sealing gasket 52. The lower end of the elastic component 53 is supported on the support platform 12, and the upper end of the elastic component 53 passes through the second sealing gasket 52 and abuts against the lower surface of the first sealing gasket 51.

[0054] Specifically, the elastic component 53 of this embodiment includes a support column 531, an elastic sleeve 532, a first telescopic column 533 and a first elastic member 534. The support column 531 is cylindrical, and the lower interior of the support column 531 is hollow to form an assembly cavity 5310. The elastic sleeve 532 is arranged at the upper end of the support column 531. The elastic sleeve 532 is an umbrella-shaped structure 5321 with a small upper end and a large lower end and can shrink or bounce radially under external force. The upper end of the first telescopic column 533 can be inserted into the assembly cavity 5310 of the support column 531 so as to move up and down. The first elastic member 534 is a spring sleeved on the outer periphery of the first telescopic column 533, so that the first telescopic column 533 always maintains a tendency to extend out of the assembly cavity 5310. When the assembly is completed, the upper end of the umbrella-shaped structure 5321 of the elastic sleeve 532 contacts the lower surface of the first sealing gasket 51. A vertically arranged assembly opening 5322 is provided on the inner wall of the middle part of the elastic sleeve 532, and the upper end of the support column 531 is connected to the assembly opening 5322. A radially penetrating assembly hole 5311 is provided on the support column 531, and a second telescopic column 535 capable of axially extending and retracting along the assembly hole 5311 is provided at the first end of the assembly hole 5311, and the outer end of the second telescopic column 535 abuts against the inner wall of the elastic sleeve 532, and a third telescopic column 536 capable of axially extending and retracting along the assembly hole 5311 is provided at the second end of the assembly hole 5311, and the outer end of the third telescopic column 536 abuts against the inner wall of the elastic sleeve 532, and a second elastic member 537 capable of keeping the second telescopic column 535 and the third telescopic column 536 extending out of the assembly hole 5311 and making the elastic sleeve 532 bounce up is also provided in the elastic sleeve 532. The second elastic member 537 is a spring, which passes through the assembly hole 5311 and respectively abuts against the inner wall of the elastic sleeve 532 corresponding to the second telescopic column 535 and the third telescopic column 536. The second sealing gasket 52 of this embodiment is provided with a through hole 521 for the elastic component 53 to pass through, and a first clamping ring 5211 is provided at the lower edge of the through hole 521. Correspondingly, a second clamping ring 5312 arranged at the upper end of the assembly cavity 5310 is provided on the outer wall of the upper part of the support column 531. In the assembled state, the lower part of the elastic sleeve 532 is located in the through hole 521, and the upper part of the elastic sleeve 532 extends out of the through hole 521 and abuts against the lower surface of the first sealing gasket 51, the lower edge of the elastic sleeve 532 abuts against the upper surface of the first clamping ring 5211, and the second clamping ring 5312 abuts against the lower surface of the first clamping ring 5211.When assembling the sealing assembly 53 of the present embodiment, the lower surface of the first sealing gasket 51 and the lower surface of the second sealing gasket 52 are first bonded together by glue, and then the end of the umbrella-shaped structure 5321 of the elastic sleeve 532 is pushed upward from the lower end of the through hole 521 of the second sealing gasket 52. During this process, the umbrella-shaped structure 5321 overcomes the elastic force of the second elastic member 537 to compress the second telescopic column 535 and the third telescopic column 536 inward to cause them to shrink until the umbrella-shaped structure 5321 is constrained on the first clamping ring 5211. The second elastic member 537 drives the second telescopic column 535 and the third telescopic column 536 to move outward to open the umbrella-shaped structure 5321, thereby generating a larger relative force application surface on the lower surface of the first sealing gasket 51 to avoid local deformation of the first sealing gasket 51.

[0055] When the cleaning machine of this embodiment is used, when the door body 2 needs to be opened, the motor 41 is operated, and the reel 3 is driven to rotate through the first gear 42, the gear belt 44 and the second gear 43, so that the door body 2 is wound around the outer periphery of the reel 3. During this process, the reel 3 will continue to become thicker, and the third gear 45 drives the motor 41 to move upward, so that the reel 3 is displaced upward while keeping rotating, so as to provide sufficient space for the winding of the door body 2; when the door body 2 needs to be closed, the motor 41 is operated in the reverse direction, and the reel 3 is driven to rotate through the first gear 42, the gear belt 44 and the second gear 43, so that the door body 2 gradually extends outward from the reel 3. During this process, the reel 3 will continue to become thinner, and the third gear 45 drives the motor 41 to move downward, so that the reel 3 is displaced downward while keeping rotating, and keeps in contact with the edge of the water tank body 1 to play a sealing role. When the door body 2 is fully extended to cover the top opening 101, the upper end of the umbrella-shaped structure 5321 of the elastic sleeve 532 pushes the first sealing gasket 51 upward to keep the door body 2 and the first sealing gasket 51 sealed, thereby improving the sealing effect.

[0056] Embodiment 2:

[0057] The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the door body 2 in this embodiment is not opened and closed by a winding method, but is a flat plate structure and is horizontally movable on the top opening 101 of the water tank body 1. A driving mechanism that can push the door body 2 to move back and forth can be provided on one side of the water tank body 1 to realize the opening and closing of the door body 2 relative to the top opening 101.
