Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of household appliances, and in particular relates to a flat-push automatic lifting in-and-out integrated dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development and progress of society, people's demand for the quality and refinement of home appliances has gradually increased. At present, especially high-end home appliances, in addition to having basic functions, are also required to be safe and reliable to use, convenient and friendly to operate, and give people a refined and elegant feeling. Take the dishwasher as an example. Because the lower bowl basket is located at a low position, the operator needs to bend down and stand up many times when taking and placing bowls. The operation is not convenient, especially for the elderly, and the operation is very unfriendly. Summary of the invention

[0003] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a push-type automatic lifting in-and-out integrated dishwasher, which can safely and reliably realize the manual and automatic in-and-out and lifting and lowering operations of the bowl basket with a simple structure and controllable cost.

[0004] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention is realized through the following technical scheme: a flat-push type automatic lifting and in-and-out integrated dishwashing cabinet, comprising a cabinet body, a first bowl basket, and a lifting and in-and-out actuator; the lifting and in-and-out actuator is arranged in the cabinet body; the first bowl basket is arranged on the lifting and in-and-out actuator, and is driven to lift and move in and out by the lifting and in-and-out actuator.

[0005] The lifting and in-and-out actuator includes a pair of inclined guide rails, a group of guide rods, a bracket, and a linear module; the pair of inclined guide rails are fixed in parallel, and the linear module is fixed horizontally; the linear module is vertically fixed with a guide rod; the bracket is horizontally arranged, and support rods are provided on both sides of the bracket, and the support rods slide along the inclined guide rails; and the guide rods can be slidably inserted into the bracket.

[0006] The inclined guide rail is fixed in the cabinet; the linear module is horizontally fixed in the cabinet; and the first bowl basket is fixed on the bracket.

[0007] The bowl basket of the above-mentioned dishwashing cabinet has the function of automatically moving out and raising, and also has the function of automatically retracting and lowering. Specifically, when the bowl basket needs to be moved out and raised, the linear module is started, the linear module moves and drives the guide rod to translate, and the guide rod translates and pushes the bracket to slide along the inclined guide rail. Since the inclined guide rail is set obliquely upward, the bracket also slides upward and rises along the guide rod while moving out, so that the bowl basket completes the automatic moving out and raising operation with the bracket. The automatic retraction and lowering operation of the bowl basket only requires the reverse operation of the driving device. In addition, manual operation can also be performed when the power is off, and the bowl basket can be manually pulled out or pushed back.

[0008] Furthermore, a linear bearing is sleeved on the guide rod and slides up and down along the guide rod, and the linear bearing is fixed to the bracket. The bracket is connected to the guide rod through the linear bearing, which significantly reduces the friction resistance during sliding, reduces wear, and makes the operation smoother.

[0009] Furthermore, a cam bearing follower is provided on the support rod; the cam bearing follower is engaged in the inclined guide rail and slides along the inclined guide rail. The cam bearing follower has the function of guiding and reducing friction, and can bear a large load, so that the bracket slides more smoothly along the inclined guide rail.

[0010] Furthermore, the inclined guide rail includes a horizontal section, an inclined section, and a bearing section connected in sequence from bottom to top; the connection between the horizontal section, the inclined section, and the bearing section is smoothly transitioned. The direction of the inclined guide rail directly determines the running track of the bracket. The inclined guide rail is set to the above three sections, so that when the bracket moves out, it first moves outward at one end and then rises upward to avoid interference with other structures that may be set on the upper part of the bracket; at the same time, the bearing section can support the bracket firmly to prevent the bracket from accidentally sliding off.

[0011] Furthermore, the load-bearing section has a closed end.

[0012] Furthermore, the linear module preferably uses a motor screw drive. In addition, linear drive devices such as synchronous belt drives, air cylinders, and oil cylinders can also be used.

[0013] Furthermore, the motor screw driver includes a slide rail, a slider, a screw, and a motor; the screw is rotatably arranged on the slide rail and is parallel to the slide rail; the slider is slidably arranged on the slide rail, and the screw is inserted into the slider; the motor is dynamically connected to the screw; and a ball bearing is also arranged between the slider and the screw.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes at least one auxiliary slide rail parallel to the linear module; the auxiliary slide rail is slidably provided with an auxiliary slider; it also includes a synchronous connection block to fix the auxiliary slider with the linear module; and the auxiliary slider is also provided with a guide rod. Adding an auxiliary slide rail and synchronously pushing multiple guide rods with the linear module can significantly reduce the shaking of the bracket during operation, improve the overall stability and reliability, and extend the service life.

[0015] Furthermore, there are four guide rods in total, which are preferably arranged in a rectangular distribution.

[0016] Furthermore, a second bowl basket can be slidably provided in the cabinet; the second bowl basket is located above the first bowl basket.

[0017] In addition, in order to further improve safety and reliability, the control logic of the above-mentioned linear module can also be designed and expanded, including current overload protection design and execution time out-of-range protection design.

[0018] Beneficial effects: It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the push-type automatic lifting and in-and-out integrated dishwashing cabinet provided by the present invention has a reasonable and ingenious design, a simple and compact structure, economical and controllable costs, and safely and reliably realizes the automatic in-and-out lifting and lowering operation and manual in-and-out lifting and lowering operation of the bowl basket.
