[0036] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention proposes a dishwasher 100, which includes an inner tank 10 and a base 20, wherein the base 20 is connected to the inner tank 10 to support the inner tank 10, the base 20 includes a main body 21 and an elastic support portion 22, the inner tank 10 is provided with a contact surface 11 for cooperating with the elastic support portion 22, and the elastic support portion 22 is consistent with the shape of the contact surface 11.

[0037] In the dishwasher 100 proposed in the embodiment of the present invention, the inner tank 10 is connected to the base 20, and a contact surface 11 is provided on the inner tank 10. Accordingly, the base 20 includes an elastic support portion 22. In this embodiment, the elastic support portion 22 cooperates with the contact surface 11 of the inner tank 10 to provide support force for the inner tank 10. During transportation, the elastic force generated by the elastic support portion 22 can reduce the vibration between the inner tank 10 and the elastic support portion 22. At the same time, the shape of the elastic support portion 22 is consistent with the shape of the contact surface 11, which can provide a more uniform support force for the inner tank 10 and disperse the interaction force generated between the inner tank 10 and the base 20 during transportation, further preventing the inner tank 10 and the base 20 from being deformed due to uneven force, thereby solving the problem that the inner tank 10 of the existing dishwasher 100 is easily deformed or even damaged during transportation.

[0038] Specifically, see Figures 1 to 3 In this embodiment, the inner tank 10 is connected to the base 20, and the base 20 includes a main body 21. Figure 2 As shown, a groove is formed in the middle of the main body 21, and an appearance surface facing the user is provided on the front side of the main body 21. Connecting parts for connecting with the inner liner 10 are provided on both sides of the main body 21. Connecting plates are respectively provided on the left and right sides of the inner liner 10 near the front side, and the connecting plates are connected to the connecting parts of the main body 21 by bolts or screws. Thus, the base 20 provides support for the inner liner 10.

[0039] Further, the elastic support portion 22 can be arranged at the rear side of the main body 21, or can be installed on the left or right side close to the rear side of the main body 21, so as to match with the bottom surface of the inner tank 10 close to the rear side. It can be understood that the elastic support portion 22 can be set as an integral structure with the main body 21, or can be set separately and connected by bolts or screws.

[0040] Correspondingly, the contact surface 11 on the inner liner 10 is arranged at the bottom of the inner liner 10 near the rear side. The bottom of the inner liner 10 near the rear side is usually provided with depressions and protrusions due to its own structural requirements. On this basis, the surface of the elastic support part 22 that cooperates with the contact surface 11 is also correspondingly provided with protrusions and depressions. That is to say, in this embodiment, the elastic support part 22 and the contact surface 11 are configured in a contoured manner, so that the elastic support part 22 can fit the contact surface 11.

[0041] Continue reading Figure 2 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic support portion 22 is arranged on the rear side of the base 20, and the two ends along the length direction and the inward side of the elastic support portion 22 are respectively connected to the main body 21. It should be noted that the two ends along the length direction mentioned in this embodiment refer to the left and right ends of the elastic support portion 22.

[0042] Specifically, the rear side of the main body 21 extends upward to form a support seat 211, and the length of the support seat 211 from the left side to the right side is greater than the length from the front side to the rear side, that is, the projection of the support seat 211 on the horizontal plane is set to be a long strip. Correspondingly, the elastic support part 22 is connected to the support seat 211, and the projection of the elastic support part 22 on the horizontal plane is also set to be a long strip, which is convenient for cooperation with the contact surface 11 on the rear side of the inner liner 10.

[0043] The two ends of the support seat 211 also extend upward to form a limit block, the elastic support part 22 is located between the two limit blocks, and the two ends of the elastic support part 22 are respectively connected to the limit blocks, which can be specifically set as bolt connection or clamping. In addition, the front side of the elastic support part 22 can also be connected to the support seat 211, thereby further improving the reliability of the connection between the elastic support part 22 and the main body 21.

[0044] Furthermore, in order to improve the support force of the inner liner 10, the elastic support portion 22 is wrapped around the rear edge of the inner liner 10 and extends to the two side surfaces adjacent to the rear edge, such as Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the cross-section of the part where the elastic support part 22 contacts the inner liner 10 is L-shaped, that is, the elastic support part 22 includes a bottom plate and a side plate connected to each other, and both ends of the bottom plate extend upward and are connected to the side plates, thereby forming a recessed portion for the inner liner 10 to extend into together with the side plates.

[0045] The contact surface 11 of the inner liner 10 for cooperating with the elastic support part 22 is arranged on the bottom surface close to the rear side. On the basis of the above embodiment, the contact surface 11 is adjacent to the rear edge of the inner liner 10. Thus, when the rear side of the inner liner 10 sits in the elastic support part 22, the contact surface 11 can contact the bottom surface of the elastic support part 22, and the rear side surface of the inner liner 10 can contact the side panel of the elastic support part 22.

[0046] Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the shape of the bottom of the elastic support portion 22 is consistent with the shape of the contact surface 11. It can be understood that the bottom of the inner liner 10 usually has a protrusion or a depression due to its own structure. In the present embodiment, the bottom of the elastic support portion 22 corresponds to the bottom of the inner liner 10 and is set to have a depression or a protrusion, thereby matching the contact surface 11. For example, when the contact surface 11 directly contacts the elastic support portion 22, the contact surface 11 fits with the bottom surface of the elastic support portion 22 to achieve close contact, thereby dispersing the interaction force and reducing or avoiding the possibility of deformation of the inner liner 10.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention, the elastic support portion 22 is made of plastic, and the plastic material has good elasticity, so the support portion made of plastic is elastic and can provide a buffer force for the liner 10 to prevent the liner 10 from deforming. In addition, the elastic support portion 22 can also be made of other elastic materials, such as rubber.

[0048] See also Figure 4 and Figure 5 Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher 100 further includes a damping layer 30. In this embodiment, the damping layer 30 is disposed between the inner tank 10 and the base 20 to further increase the buffer between the inner tank 10 and the base 20 and improve the shock absorption effect. Specifically, the damping layer 30 can be configured as a rubber damping layer 30 or a plastic damping layer 30, or can be configured as a damping coating layer coated on the inner tank 10 or the base 20.

[0049] In some embodiments of the present invention, the damping layer 30 is attached to the contact surface 11. For example, the damping layer 30 is bonded to the contact surface 11 or connected to the contact surface 11 by screws. In addition, in this embodiment, the damping layer 30 covers the contact surface 11, thereby further reducing the force on the inner liner 10 and preventing the inner liner 10 from deforming.

[0050] Furthermore, the damping layer 30, on the basis of covering the contact surface 11, extends upward to cover part of the side surface of the inner liner 10, for example, it can extend to the left side, right side or rear side of the inner liner 10, thereby increasing the contact area with the inner liner 10. In an optional embodiment, as Figure 5As shown, the damping layer 30 extends upward to cover part of the rear side of the inner liner 10, that is, the damping layer 30 is bonded to the rear edge of the inner liner 10 and the bottom and side surfaces adjacent to the rear edge, thereby further improving the protection of the inner liner.

[0051] It can be understood that, since the rear side of the liner 10 sits in the elastic support part 22, the elastic support part 22 includes a bottom plate and a side plate connected to each other, and the side of the liner 10 is close to or in contact with the side plate of the elastic support part 22, the damping layer 30 in the above embodiment can extend to the side of the liner 10, thereby isolating the side of the liner 10 from the side plate of the elastic support part 22, protecting the side of the liner 10, and further improving the protection of the liner 10. The contact surface 11 on the bottom of the liner 10 contacts the bottom plate of the elastic support part 22, and according to the above embodiment, the bottom plate of the elastic support part 22 fits the contact surface 11.

[0052] Furthermore, the damping layer 30 can be set as one piece, and the damping layer 30 can cover the contact surface 11; it can also be set as multiple pieces, and the multiple damping layers 30 can jointly cover the contact surface 11; in this embodiment, the shape of the damping layer 30 located below the contact surface 11 is matched with the contact surface 11 to further improve the shock absorption effect.

[0053] It can be understood that since the inner tank 10 of the dishwasher 100 is used to hold tableware, when the dishes containing tableware are pulled out from the cavity of the inner tank 10, the weight of the front side of the dishwasher 100 is greater than the weight of the rear side. Therefore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher 100 further includes a counterweight 40, which is installed on the rear side of the base 20. For example, Figure 2 As shown, a receiving groove 212 is provided at the rear side of the base 20 , and the counterweight 40 is installed in the receiving groove 212 .

[0054] Specifically, Figure 2 As shown, on the basis of the above embodiment, a recessed portion is provided on the support seat 211 of the main body 21, and the elastic support portion 22 is located above the recessed portion. It can be understood that the recessed portion has a rear opening and a top opening, and thus, the elastic support portion 22 is located at the top opening, and the bottom of the elastic support portion 22 and the recessed portion jointly define a receiving groove 212, so the elastic support portion 22 is the top of the receiving groove 212. Since the shape of the elastic support portion 22 is consistent with the shape of the contact surface 11 of the inner liner 10, that is, the shape of the top of the receiving groove 212 is consistent with the shape of the contact surface 11, the counterweight block 40 is accommodated in the receiving groove 212.

[0055] On this basis, in order to prevent the counterweight 40 from increasing the interaction force between the inner liner 10 and the base 20, the buffering force between the inner liner 10 and the base 20 is further improved, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments of the present invention, the shape of the top of the counterweight 40 is consistent with the shape of the bottom of the elastic support part 22. Therefore, when the dishwasher 100 vibrates during transportation, the interaction force between the inner tank 10 and the elastic support part 22, and between the elastic support part 22 and the counterweight 40 is evenly dispersed, further improving the shock absorption effect and reducing the possibility of deformation of the inner tank 10 and the base 20.

[0056] Furthermore, in some embodiments of the present invention, the dishwasher 100 further includes one or more buffer pads 50, such as Figure 5 As shown, the buffer pad 50 is arranged between the elastic support part 22 and the counterweight 40. The buffer pad 50 can be provided with one or more. The specific number can be set according to the number of positions to be filled, and this embodiment does not specifically limit it. In this embodiment, the buffer pad 50 can be provided with a plastic buffer pad 50, a rubber buffer pad 50, etc., which is used to selectively fill between the elastic support part 22 and the counterweight 40, thereby further improving the shock absorption effect.

[0057] According to the above embodiment, a plurality of limiting ribs may be provided in the receiving groove 212, and a limiting groove matching the limiting ribs may be provided on the counterweight 40 accordingly. Therefore, in this embodiment, each buffer pad 50 is provided between adjacent limiting grooves of the counterweight 40 to avoid the limiting ribs and prevent interference with the limiting ribs. Specifically, the buffer pad 50 may be bonded to the counterweight 40, or may be filled between the top of the counterweight 40 and the top of the receiving groove 212 after the counterweight 40 is installed in the receiving groove 212. It should be noted that the shape of the buffer pad 50 matches the shape of the top of the counterweight 40.

[0058] The above are only preferred specific embodiments of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily thought of by a person skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention shall be subject to the protection scope of the claims.
