[0025] like Figure 1-9As shown, a dishwasher with a stopper comprises a body 1, an inner container 2 and a door 3 arranged in the body 1, a hinge mechanism 4 is symmetrically arranged between the body 1 and the door 3, and also comprises a stopper assembly 5 arranged on the hinge mechanism 4, which is used to cover the internal structure of the hinge mechanism 4 and the side of the inner container 2;

[0026] The hinge mechanism 4 includes a hinge movable plate 40 disposed on the door body 3, a hinge fixed plate 41 disposed on the machine body 1, and a pin 42 passing through the hinge movable plate 40 and the hinge fixed plate 41;

[0027] The block assembly 5 includes a block body 50 for covering the connection between the hinge fixing plate 41 and the pin 42 and a latch 51 arranged on the block body 50. The latch 51 can be inserted between the hinge fixing plate 41 and the inner liner 2 to fix the block body 50. The latch 51 can also limit the left and right movement of the block body 50. By providing a block assembly installed on the hinge mechanism, the internal structure of the hinge mechanism and the side of the inner liner can be effectively covered, which improves the appearance and prevents foreign objects from falling into the hinge mechanism and causing damage to the hinge mechanism. At the same time, it prevents users from being scratched by the sharp edges and burrs of the inner liner during use.

[0028] The present invention provides an inclined guide block 52 on the side of the latch 51 so that the latch 51 is clamped between the hinge fixing plate 41 and the inner liner 2. The thickness of the inclined guide block 52 gradually increases from the outside to the inside to form an inclined surface, so that the latch 51 can be easily inserted between the hinge fixing plate 41 and the inner liner 2 and play a clamping role.

[0029] The present invention provides a first flange 43 on the hinge fixing plate 41, and provides a first buckle 53 on the block body 50 that is snap-fitted with the first flange 43. By providing the first buckle 53 and snap-fitting with the first flange 43, the block body 50 is more secure and stable to prevent loosening.

[0030] In the present invention, a mounting hole 44 is provided on the hinge fixing plate 41, and a second buckle 54 is provided on the block body 50 and is snap-connected to the mounting hole 44. The convex head of the first buckle 53 is opposite to the convex head of the second buckle 54. By providing the second buckle 54 and snap-fitting with the mounting hole 44, the block body 50 is more stable, and the convex head of the first buckle 53 is opposite to the convex head of the second buckle 54, so as to achieve a left-right clamping state, so that the block body 50 is not easy to disengage when it moves left and right due to external force.

[0031] The present invention has a notch 45 on the hinge fixing plate 41, and a hook 55 which can be embedded in the notch 45 is provided at the lower end of the block body 50. The hook 55 is embedded in the notch 45, so that the block body 50 cannot move up and down, making the block body 50 more stable.

[0032] The present invention provides ears 46 for installing pins 42 on the hinge fixing plate 41, and clamps 56 for clamping the ears 46 are provided at intervals on the hook 55. The clamps 56 clamp the ears 46 so that the lower part of the block body 50 can also be restricted from moving left and right, making the block body 50 stable as a whole.

[0033] In the present invention, a second flange 57 for shielding the side of the inner liner 2 is provided on the inner side of the block body 50 . The second flange 57 can better shield the side of the inner liner 2 and the internal structure of the hinge mechanism 4 .

[0034] The present invention provides a front pocket 20 at the bottom of the inner liner 2, and a clearance groove 30 is provided at a position of the door body 3 corresponding to the front pocket 20. The block body 50 matches the shape of the front pocket 20 and is attached to the front pocket 20. The block body 50 is attached to the front pocket 20 to prevent the user from being scratched due to the protrusion of the front pocket 20 during use.

[0035] The specific implementation methods described above provide a detailed description of the technical solutions and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above is only the most preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, supplements and equivalent substitutions made within the scope of the principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
