[0054] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.
[0056] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," and "connected" should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed, detachable, or integral connections; mechanical or electrical connections; and direct or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific circumstances.
[0057] Example 1
[0058] like Figure 2 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes an inner tank bottom 210 and an inner tank side 220, and the inner tank bottom 210 and the inner tank side 220 constitute an inner tank body 200 with an opening facing upward. The inner tank side 220 is a plate that is bent and rolled into a ring. One end of the plate has a splicing portion 221, and the other end is overlapped on the splicing portion 221. The splicing positions 222 at both ends are located on a plane, eliminating the influence of dimensional errors on the assembly structure, facilitating welding of the splicing components with determined final sizes, with regular welds and simple welding plane processing technology, thereby improving the manufacturing efficiency of the dishwasher.
[0059] like Figure 2 As shown, the splicing portion 221 is a bending structure formed by bending one end of the plate, and the end of the bending structure remains parallel to the other end 2211 of the plate. The bending structure includes a first bending structure 2212 and a first extension structure 2213. The first bending structure 2212 is formed by bending one end of the plate toward the outside of the inner liner, and the first extension structure 2213 is formed by bending and extending the end of the first bending structure 2212, and remains parallel to the other end 2211 of the plate.
[0060] like Figure 1 As shown, the side surface of the first extension structure 2213 close to the inner center of the inner container is fitted with the side surface of the other end 2211 of the plate away from the inner center of the inner container and connected as one piece.
[0061] The inner wall surface of one end of the plate before being bent is flush with the inner wall surface of the other end 2211 of the plate.
[0062] The vertical distance that the first bending structure 2212 bends toward the outside of the inner container is equal to the thickness of the plate, and the inner wall surface of one end of the plate before bending is flush with the inner wall surface of the other end 2211 of the plate.
[0063] The end surface of the other end 2211 of the plate is in contact with the bending surface of the first bending structure 2212 .
[0064] There is a gap between the end surface of the other end 2211 of the plate and the bending surface of the first bending structure 2212 .
[0065] The gap between the end surface of the other end 2211 of the plate and the bent surface of the first bent structure 2212 is filled with welding material, a sealing strip or a retaining rib.
[0066] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner liner side 220 includes four straight side panels, with rounded transition side panels between the straight side panels. The splicing position is located on the straight side panels. The straight side panels include a front panel 201, a rear panel 202 and two side panels 203 located on both sides of the front panel. Preferably, the splicing position is located on the front panel 201.
[0067] like Figure 3 As shown, the bottom 210 of the liner includes a bottom plate 204 of the liner and a connecting side wall 211 connected to the bottom plate and folded upward. The bottom 210 of the liner is an upward-opening small accommodating cavity structure, and the bottom surface of the liner side 220 is spliced with the top surface of the bottom 210 of the liner.
[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the dishwasher is stretched by a slide rail, and a connecting side wall 211 connected to the bottom plate 204 of the inner tank and parallel to the stretching direction of the dishwasher is provided with a receiving portion recessed toward the center of the inner tank, and the receiving portion is a recessed surface 2033 recessed toward the inner tank body 200. The inner tank is provided with a recessed surface 2033 for avoiding the slide rail, which is beneficial to the expansion of the inner tank, and the recessed surface 2033 is provided on the connecting side wall 211, so that the stretching is small and the structural strength of the inner tank is not affected.
[0069] The concave surface 2033 includes a horizontal bending surface 20331 formed by bending the connecting side wall 211 from top to bottom toward the inside of the inner tank, and a vertical bending surface 20332 formed by bending the end of the horizontal bending surface 20331 vertically downward. The horizontal bending surface 20331 and the vertical bending surface 20332 are connected and transitioned by a smooth arc surface.
[0070] Preferably, the bottom of the vertical bending surface 20332 bends and extends toward the bottom plate 204 to connect with the corresponding side of the bottom plate 204 .
[0071] In the present invention, the dishwasher inner tank is divided into a plurality of splicing parts, which are spliced together to form the dishwasher inner tank, instead of adopting the existing stamping method to form the inner tank structure, thereby avoiding the plate being highly stretched, resulting in insufficient strength or even becoming waste.
[0072] Preferably, the overlapping structure includes a first connecting surface 250 provided on one of two adjacent splicing components and a second connecting surface 251 provided on the other splicing component, and the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are fitted and connected.
[0073] In the above solution, the overlapping structure is connected in a surface-to-surface overlapping manner, which is beneficial to the splicing and positioning of each splicing component.
[0074] Preferably, among two adjacent splicing parts, one side edge of the splicing part and the other splicing part is provided with a first connecting surface 250 that bends and extends toward the outside of the inner liner, and the corresponding side edge of the other splicing part is provided with a second connecting surface 251 that bends and extends toward the outside of the inner liner, and the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are fitly connected.
[0075] In the above solution, the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are welded after being bonded together. The first connecting surface 250 can be obtained by bending the edge of the corresponding splicing component at a certain angle, and the second connecting surface 251 can be obtained by bending the edge of another splicing component at a certain angle. The bending angle ensures that the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are parallel to each other, so that the surface-to-surface bonding can be achieved.
[0076] See also Figure 6 As shown, the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are both formed by vertically bending the edges of the corresponding splicing components.
[0077] Preferably, the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are welded and fixed after being attached to each other;
[0078] Preferably, the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are of equal length, and both lengths are very small so as not to affect the installation space of the dishwasher inner tank. In addition, the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are of equal length, and the end surface formed after welding is wide, which is not easy to cause cuts to the external structure.
[0079] See also Figure 7 As shown, in another embodiment, of two adjacent splicing components, the edge of one splicing component where it joins the other is provided with a first connecting surface 250 that bends and extends toward the exterior of the inner liner. The edge of the corresponding side of the other splicing component is provided with a second connecting surface 251 that bends and extends toward the exterior of the inner liner. The length of the second connecting surface 251 is greater than the length of the first connecting surface 250. After the first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are bonded, the portion of the second connecting surface 251 that is longer than the first connecting surface 250 bends toward the other side of the first connecting surface 250, forming a three-layer bonding surface. The three-layer bonding surface bends toward and bonds to the outer surface of any splicing component. In this embodiment, a three-layer bonding surface is formed, the overlapping structure is relatively stable, and there are no protruding end surfaces, which will not damage other components.
[0080] See also Figure 8As shown, in another embodiment, among two adjacent splicing components, the edge of one side where one splicing component is spliced with the other splicing component is formed with a recess toward the outside of the inner liner to form the first connecting surface 250, and the edge of the corresponding side of the other splicing component is the second connecting surface 251, and the edge of the corresponding side of the splicing component is attached to the first connecting surface 250.
[0081] In the above solution, among two adjacent splicing components, the edge of one splicing component is recessed to form the first connecting surface 250 , while the edge of the other splicing component remains unchanged and is directly overlapped on the first connecting surface 250 .
[0082] Preferably, the edge of a splicing component is first bent toward the side away from the inner liner to form a bending section 252, and the bending section 252 is bent again to form a first connecting surface 250 parallel to the edge of the other splicing component. The height of the bending section 252 in the direction perpendicular to the first connecting surface 250 matches the thickness of the second connecting surface. After the second connecting surface 251 is attached to the first connecting surface 250, the inner surfaces of the two splicing components transition smoothly, thereby making the internal structure of the inner liner flat.
[0083] In this embodiment, the inner liner bottom 210 is the first splicing component, the inner liner side 220 is the second splicing component, and a first connecting surface 250 is provided on the splicing edge of the inner liner bottom 210 or the inner liner side 220, and a second connecting surface 251 is provided on the edge of the inner liner side 220 or the inner liner bottom 210. The first connecting surface 250 and the second connecting surface 251 are connected.
[0084] The bottom 210 of the inner container is provided with a connecting side wall 211 so that the splicing position is located on a plane, and the overlapping structure is adopted so that the two splicing parts can prevent processing errors, can be stably overlapped, and then welded and fixed.
[0085] Example 2
[0086] like Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, the dishwasher inner tank body 200 is composed of three splicing parts, including a first splicing part, a second splicing part and a third splicing part. The second splicing part and the third splicing part are located on both sides of the first splicing part and are parallel to the stretching direction of the dishwasher. The splicing position of the second splicing part / the third splicing part and the first splicing part is located on a plane.
[0087] The first splicing component includes a bottom plate 204 of the inner container body, and a front plate 201 and a rear plate 202 connected to the bottom plate 204 and perpendicular to the stretching direction of the dishwasher.
[0088] The second splicing component / third splicing component includes a side panel 203 parallel to the stretching direction of the dishwasher. The second splicing component / third splicing component also includes an extension connected to the side panel 203 and bent toward the opposite side panel. The extension is connected to the first splicing component. The extension includes a rounded corner structure between the inner tank wall surfaces. The setting of the extension ensures that the splicing position of the second splicing component / third splicing component and the first splicing component is located on a plane.
[0089] The second splicing component / the third splicing component is stamped as a whole, and the extension portion includes a first extension surface 2031 located on the bottom surface of the side panel 203 and a second extension surface 2032 located on the side surface of the side panel 203. After forming the rounded structure between the inner tank wall surfaces, the extension portion continues to extend straight toward the opposite side panel. The first extension surface 2031 is connected to the bottom plate 204 in the first splicing component, and the second extension surface 2032 is connected to the front plate 201 / rear plate 202 in the first splicing component.
[0090] like Figure 4 The figure shows a cross-sectional view of the inner tank body 200 of the present invention. The dishwasher is stretched by means of a slide rail. The side panel 203 of the second splicing component / third splicing component includes a recessed surface 2033. The recessed surface 2033 is a receiving portion that is recessed toward the center of the inner tank. The receiving portion can be installed with a slide rail to facilitate stretching the dishwasher and taking and placing tableware in the dishwasher.
[0091] Same as in Example 1, Figure 10 The concave surface 2033 includes a horizontal bending surface 20331 formed by bending toward the inside of the inner shell from top to bottom, and a vertical bending surface 20332 formed by bending vertically downward at the end of the horizontal bending surface 20331. The horizontal bending surface 20331 and the vertical bending surface 20332 are connected and transitioned by a smooth arc surface.
[0092] Preferably, in this embodiment, a first extension surface 2031 is provided at the bottom of the vertical bending surface 20332 , which is bent and extended toward the bottom plate 204 . The first extension surface 2031 is connected to the corresponding side of the bottom plate 204 .
[0093] In the above scheme, the bottom edge of the horizontal bending surface 20331 is bent toward the bottom to form the first extension surface 2031. The first extension surface 2031 is preferably in the same plane as the bottom plate 204. In this way, the joint position of the bottom plate 204 and the lower edge of the side plate 203 is on the plane, not at the corner, which facilitates the alignment of the splicing parts and moves the welding position to the plane, reducing the difficulty of welding.
[0094] Preferably, second extension surfaces 2032 are respectively provided on both sides of the side panels 203 , which are bent and extended toward the front panel 201 and the rear panel 202 , and the second extension surfaces 2032 are connected to the corresponding front panel 201 or the rear panel 202 .
[0095] In the above scheme, both sides of the side panel 203 are bent toward the front panel 201 and the rear panel 202 to form the second extension surface 2032. The side where the second extension surface 2032 is spliced with the front panel 201 or the rear panel 202 is in the same plane as the front panel 201 or the rear panel 202, thereby avoiding the corners and facilitating welding and fixation.
[0096] In this embodiment, the design of the second extension surface 2032 prevents splicing on the recessed surfaces 2035 2033 , and the splicing position is transferred to the plane, thereby simplifying the welding process.
[0097] In this embodiment, a mounting port 2011 for a detergent adding device is provided on the front plate 201 to facilitate the addition of detergent.
[0098] In this embodiment, the bottom plate 204, the front plate 201, and the back plate 202 constitute a first splicing component, and the two side plates 203 are respectively the second splicing component and the third splicing component. The connection method between the splicing components is the same as the connection method in Example 1. The first connecting surfaces 250 are provided at the notches on both sides of the first splicing component, and the second connecting surfaces 251 are provided on both sides and the bottom edge of the two side plates 203. The first connecting surface 250 is connected to the second connecting surface 251.
[0099] Preferably, the bottom of the two side panels 203 is provided with a first extension surface 2031 bent toward the bottom plate of the first splicing component, the first extension surface 2031 is provided with the first connecting surface 250 on the edge, and second connecting surfaces 251 are correspondingly provided on both sides of the bottom plate.
[0100] In the above scheme, the bottom of the side panel 203 is bent horizontally, and a first connecting surface 250 is set on the edge, so that the splicing point avoids the corner between the side panel 203 and the bottom panel, so that the splicing position is located on the plane, and the overlapping structure is adopted so that the two splicing parts can prevent processing errors, can be stably overlapped, and then welded and fixed.
[0101] Preferably, the two sides of the two side panels 203 are respectively provided with second extension surfaces 2032 that are bent and extended toward the front panel 201 and the rear panel 202, and the edge of the second extension surface 2032 is provided with the first connecting surface 250, and the two sides of the front panel 201 and the rear panel 202 are respectively provided with the second connecting surface 251.
[0102] Similarly, the design of the above-mentioned second extension surface 2032 avoids the corner between the side panel 203 and the front panel 201 or the rear panel 202 at the splicing point, so that the splicing position is located on the plane, and the overlapping structure is adopted so that the two splicing parts can prevent processing errors, can be stably overlapped, and then welded and fixed.
[0103] Preferably, the first extension surface 2031 and the second extension surface 2032 transition smoothly to form a U-shaped arc surface, and the U-shaped arc surface is smoothly spliced with the notch side of the first splicing component.
[0104] Example 3
[0105] like Figure 10 As shown, the structure of the inner tank body 200 in this embodiment differs from that in the first embodiment in that at least one of the two ends at the splicing position 222 is provided with a notch, which is an installation port 2011 for placing a detergent adding device.
[0106] like Figure 11 As shown, this embodiment includes an inner liner body 200, which is formed by an inner liner bottom 210 and an inner liner side 220. The inner liner side 220 includes a first splicing portion 2012 and a second splicing portion 2013. The first splicing portion 2012 and the second splicing portion 2013 are spliced together to form a side wall. A notch is provided on the first splicing portion 2012 and / or the second splicing portion 2013. The notch forms an installation port 2011 for placing a detergent adding device after the first splicing portion 2012 and the second splicing portion 2013 are spliced together.
[0107] Specifically, the first splicing portion 2012 includes a first splicing surface formed by vertically connecting the first side and the first bottom edge, and the second splicing portion 2013 includes a second splicing surface formed by vertically connecting the second side and the second bottom edge. The first side and / or the second side are provided with a notch, and the first side of the first splicing surface and the second side of the second splicing surface are aligned so that the first splicing surface and the second splicing surface are located in the same horizontal plane. The notch forms an installation port 2011 for placing a detergent adding device when spliced, and the size of the notch can be set to different sizes and shapes according to the size of the detergent adding device.
[0108] For example, a notch can be opened on the first side of the first splicing surface, and a notch can be opened at the corresponding position of the second side. When the first splicing surface and the second splicing surface are spliced together, the middle notch portion of the first side and the middle notch portion of the second side form an installation port 2011 for placing a detergent adding device.
[0109] As an alternative to the above solution, a notch may be provided along one side edge of the first or second joining surface. For example, a notch may be provided on one side edge of the first joining surface. When the first and second joining surfaces are joined, the notch portion of the first joining surface and the joining position 222 of the second joining surface form an installation opening 2011 for placing a detergent adding device. A notch may also be provided on one side edge of the second joining surface.
[0110] In this embodiment, an installation opening 2011 for placing a detergent adding device is formed at the splicing position 222, which reduces the length of the weld and can even eliminate the middle weld, thereby reducing the welding process and saving costs.
[0111] Furthermore, a fixing plate is provided at the installation opening 2011 , and the fixing plate is located outside the inner tank body 200 . The detergent adding device is fixedly connected to the fixing plate by screws, and is thereby fixed to the inner tank.
[0112] Preferably, a rubber ring or other sealing structure that matches the shape and size of the mounting opening 2011 is provided between the fixing plate and the detergent adding device to increase the sealing between the detergent adding device and the inner tank body 200 .
[0113] Example 4
[0114] The connecting structure in this embodiment is a sealing frame 600, which is sealed and installed on the top opening of the inner tank body 200. A water retaining structure 2001 is provided on the side wall of the inner tank of the sealing frame 600 to prevent water from entering the gap between the sealing frame 600 and the wall of the inner tank body 200. The setting of the water retaining structure can effectively prevent washing water from entering the gap between the sealing frame 600 and the wall of the inner tank body 200, flushing the sealing structure, extending the service life of the sealing structure, and improving the overall user experience of the product.
[0115] In order to avoid friction and noise generated during assembly between the sealing frame 600 and the liner body 200 and to improve the tightness of the seal, a sealing ring 700 is provided between the sealing frame 600 and the liner body 200 .
[0116] like Figure 11 As shown, the water retaining structure 2001 in this embodiment is a convex structure recessed toward the center of the inner tank, and the surface of the convex structure is arc-shaped. A receiving portion is provided on the sealing frame 600, and the water retaining structure 2001 is snap-connected to the receiving portion. The receiving portion is a groove recessed toward the center of the inner tank, and the inner surface of the groove is consistent in shape with the outer surface of the water retaining structure 2001, which facilitates the installation of the sealing frame 600. While increasing the density of the sealing structure, it improves the compactness of the assembly between the sealing frame 600 and the inner tank body 200, and at the same time improves the safety of the dishwasher.
[0117] like Figure 12As shown, the top surface of the liner body 200 and the part that cooperates with the sealing frame 600 are provided with a folding structure 2002 facing outward from the liner, and the end of the folding structure 2002 forms an angle with the wall surface of the liner body 200 and is inclined toward the outside of the liner. A through hole 601 is provided on the sealing frame 600, and the lower surface of the through hole 601 is longer than the upper surface, and the lower surface protrudes toward the direction close to the liner. The end of the folding structure 2002 is stuck on the lower surface of the through hole 601. When disassembling the sealing frame 600, use a tool smaller than the diameter of the through hole 601 to enter the through hole 601 from the side away from the wall surface of the liner, and push the end of the folding structure 2002 away from the lower surface of the through hole 601. The operation is simple, which brings a good user experience.
[0118] As a further limitation of this embodiment, the folding structure 2002 located on the top surface of the inner liner body 200 is arranged at intervals or continuously, and the through holes 601 located on the sealing frame 600 correspond one-to-one to the folding structure 2002 and cooperate with each other, which is beneficial to the demoulding of the sealing frame 600 and enhances the compactness of the seal.
[0119] In this embodiment, the inner tank body 200 includes four side panels with straight top surfaces, and the side panels are connected by rounded transition side panels. The water retaining structure 200 is located on the upper part of the side panels.
[0120] Example 5
[0121] The difference between this embodiment and the fourth embodiment is that the water retaining structure 2001 is located at the lower edge of the sealing frame 600 .
[0122] like Figure 13 As shown, the water retaining structure 2001 is a raised structure sunken toward the center of the inner tank. The height of the raised structure is greater than or equal to the gap between the sealing frame and the wall of the inner tank body. This structure can effectively seal the gap between the sealing frame 600 and the wall of the inner tank body 200, preventing washing water from entering through the gap to flush the sealing ring 700, and long-term flushing to damage the sealing ring 700 and cause water leakage. At the same time, it also reduces the failure rate of the dishwasher, extends the product life cycle, and improves the user experience.

[0141] Example 7
[0142] like Figure 24 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and embodiment six is that the connection structure 100 connected to the open top surface of the inner liner body 200 is different. The connection structure 100 in this embodiment includes a straight connection structure 1001 respectively connected to the front plate 201 and the rear plate 202 of the inner liner body 200. Preferably, the straight connection structure 1001 is integrally formed with the front plate 201 / the rear plate 202. The connection structure 100 also includes a U-shaped connection structure 103 respectively connected to the side plates 203 of the inner liner body 200.

[0143] Example 8
[0144] like Figure 25 to Figure 27 As shown, the main difference between this embodiment and the seventh embodiment is that the U-shaped connecting structure 103 and the outer plate 302 are integrally formed, and the lap plate under the U-shaped connecting structure 103 and the part where the top surface of the outer plate 302 cooperates with the lap plate are eliminated, thereby reducing the assembly parts of the dishwasher and improving the assembly efficiency.
[0145] Embodiment 9
[0146] See also Figure 27 As shown, in this embodiment, a convex structure is provided on the side panel, which protrudes from the inside of the inner liner to the outside. The provision of the convex structure increases the capacity of the inner liner, thereby realizing the expansion of the inner liner.
[0147] Preferably, the inner pot is slidably arranged in the shell or bracket of the dishwasher, and the side panel includes two side panels extending along the sliding direction of the inner pot, and the two side panels are both arranged as convex structures protruding away from the opposite side panel, thereby increasing the size of the inner pot in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the inner pot and increasing the internal space of the inner pot.
[0148] In the above scheme, the liner body 200 includes a front panel 201, a rear panel 202, side panels 203 located on both sides of the front panel, and rounded transition side panels respectively connecting the front panel / rear panel and the side panels. The convex structure of the side panel is obtained by performing a large-scale stamping and forming in the middle of the side panel 203, forming a structure with a convex middle portion and a retracted peripheral portion, thereby increasing the internal space of the liner. Specifically, a convex forming 2034 is stamped out on the side panel in a direction opposite to the opposite side panel, forming a shell structure in which the side panel is formed into a bottom wall that convexes and the peripheral wall extends toward the opposite side panel. In this method, a large-scale stamping is performed in the middle of the side panel, thereby increasing the internal space of the liner.
[0149] Preferably, Figure 3 As shown, the side panels 203 are provided with curved sides along the sliding direction of the inner container, respectively, toward the front panel 201 and the rear panel 202. The sides of the convex profile 2034 are smoothly connected to the rounded transition side panels between the front / rear panel and the side panels via first curved surfaces 207. The center of the convex profile 2034 is stamped to form a convex plane, and the plane of the convex profile 2034 transitions to the rounded transition side panels via first curved surfaces 207. This reduces the stamping strength of the side panels, resulting in a high-strength and high-quality inner container. The smooth transition also creates a high-gloss, aesthetically pleasing inner container.
[0150] After the side panel 203 is punched and formed 2034 , a concave surface 2035 is formed at the bottom of the side panel 203 , which is concave toward the interior of the inner container. The concave surface 2035 is used to avoid the slide rail of the dishwasher.
[0151] In the above solution, the inner tank is formed with a recessed surface for mounting the dishwasher rails, thereby making full use of the space inside the dishwasher housing and facilitating the expansion of the inner tank.
[0152] Preferably, the concave surface includes a concave surface that gradually indents into the inner liner from top to bottom and a vertical surface extending downward from the end of the concave surface. The cross-sectional profile of the concave surface, which is longitudinally cut through a vertical surface perpendicular to the side panel on which it is located, includes, from top to bottom, a first curve 20351 with a center of curvature inside the inner liner and a second curve 20352 with a center of curvature outside the inner liner. The first curve and the second curve transition smoothly. Preferably, the length of the first curve is equal to the length of the second curve. More preferably, the curvature of the first curve is equal to the curvature of the second curve. With this structural design, the edges of the convex profile, or the two bends of the concave surface 2035, have the same tensile strength, the plate is evenly stretched, and the thickness is uniform, thereby preventing local transitional stretching from affecting the quality of the inner liner.
[0153] See also Figure 4 and Figure 4As shown, in another structure, the concave surface is a concave surface directly stamped from the bottom of the side panel toward the interior of the inner container, and the concave surface includes a horizontal bending surface 20331 formed by bending the bottom wall of the side panel from top to bottom toward the interior of the inner container, and a vertical bending surface 20332 formed by bending the end of the horizontal bending surface 20331 vertically downward. The horizontal bending surface and the vertical bending surface are connected and transitioned by a smooth arc surface. The structure in this embodiment is different from Figure 4 The structure is different. In this embodiment, the concave surface is indirectly formed by the convex pressing of the stamping. Because the pressing profile is large, the stamping strength cannot be high, so it has no horizontal bending surface. Figure 28 Because the concave surface is directly stamped, the stamping area is small, and a concave surface with a horizontal bending surface and a vertical bending surface can be stamped out.
[0154] See also Figure 29 As shown, the upper part of the protruding profile 2034 is connected to the top edge of the side panel 203 through the third curved surface 800. The third curved surface 800 gradually narrows toward the axis of the inner tank from bottom to top, and the narrowed part is recessed toward the interior of the inner tank, which has the function of blocking the upward spraying washing water. One external protruding profile 2034 realizes multiple structural functions.
[0155] Furthermore, the front panel / rear panel of the inner container can also be similar to the two side panels, and can be configured to bulge outwards toward the inner container to achieve the expansion of the inner container. The structure can be similar to the two side panels mentioned above, and will not be described in detail again.
[0156] Example 10
[0157] like As shown, in this embodiment, the inner tank body 200 includes a bottom plate 204 and a side plate assembly. The bottom plate 204 and the side plate assembly are an integral piece, and the side plate assembly is bent and spliced to form the side wall of the dishwasher.
[0158] In the above solution, the inner liner is formed by bending an integral plate, which reduces the length of the weld and simplifies the processing technology.
[0159] Preferably, the bottom plate 204 has multiple edges, and the side plate assembly includes plate bodies respectively connected to the edges of the bottom plate 204, and the plate bodies are bent toward the same side of the bottom plate 204 to form the side wall of the dishwasher.
[0160] In the above solution, through the solution of the present invention, inner containers of different shapes can be manufactured respectively, and each plate is bent relative to the bottom plate 204, and two adjacent plates are spliced together to form the side wall of the annular dishwasher.
