The door body connecting structure is Figure 10 the door body connecting piece 151 in the figure, and the door body 152 in the figure is the door body main body.

[0122] The connecting structure comprises a first connecting arm 1511 arranged on the side of the door body 152 close to the inner container. Specifically, the first connecting arm 1511 is arranged on opposite sides of the door body 152. The arrangement of the first connecting arm 1511 makes the connection position of the door body 152 and the support device located on the plane formed by the first connecting arm 1511, reducing the connection difficulty. And the first connecting arm 1511 is arranged on opposite sides of the door body 152, so that both ends of the door body 152 are fixedly connected with the support device, making the connection of the door body 152 and the support device more reliable.

[0123] Specifically, the first connecting arm 1511 extends integrally along the length of the connecting structure, making its molding and manufacturing simpler and increasing its connection strength with the support device. Alternatively, the first connecting arms 1511 are spaced apart along the length of the connecting structure, reducing the difficulty of connecting the first connecting arms 1511 to the support device and saving materials used in manufacturing the first connecting arms 1511.

[0124] The first connecting arm 1511 is provided with a limiting part. Specifically, the first limiting part is a limiting protrusion located at one end of the connecting arm, and the limiting protrusion is inserted and connected to the support device.

[0127] The snap-fit ​​boss or snap-fit ​​hole extends integrally along the length of the connecting arm; or the snap-fit ​​boss or snap-fit ​​hole is spaced apart along the length of the connecting arm. The snap-fit ​​boss is integrally injection molded onto the first connecting arm 1511, or the snap-fit ​​hole is integrally formed on the first connecting arm 1511. This simplifies the molding and manufacturing of the snap-fit ​​boss or snap-fit ​​hole, while the spaced-apart arrangement of the snap-fit ​​boss or snap-fit ​​hole along the length of the first connecting arm 1511 saves on manufacturing material and facilitates the assembly of the first connecting arm 1511 with the support device.

[0131] A plurality of connecting holes are provided on the second connecting arm 1512, and the second connecting arm 1512 is fastened to the door body 152 by a fastener. The connecting piece is a screw, the screw is fastened to the door body 152 by penetrating the connecting hole provided on the second connecting arm 1512. The screw is easy to purchase as a standard part, without the need to redesign a new connecting structure, only the connecting hole needs to be opened on the second connecting arm 1512, and the connecting process is mature and reliable.

[0132] The opposite sides of the main body of the door body 152 are provided with connecting surfaces connected with the second connecting arm 1512, and the connecting surfaces are integrally bent at the end of the door body 152.

The length / width of the second support plate 1326 is not greater than the corresponding length / width of the outer side plate 16, and the second support plate 1326 has a smooth matching surface close to the outer side plate 16, so that the outer wall of the second support plate 1326 is closely matched with the inner wall of the outer side plate, facilitating fixed connection.

[0154] Preferably, the side plate mounting hole 1341 in the embodiment corresponds to the positions of the fourth buckle mounting hole 162 and the first buckle mounting hole 13311, so as to facilitate overall installation, and the outer side plate, the door body assembly and the support device can be connected and fixed together by one buckle, the setting of parts is reduced, assembly is simple, and disassembly and replacement are facilitated.

[0155] The following is a specific description of the structure of the outer side plate:

[0156] As shown in Figures 13-14 , the outer side plate 16 is provided with a first connecting structure connected with the support device. The outer side plate body is a plate-shaped structure arranged outside the side plate of the inner container 11, which blocks the side plate of the inner container 11 to achieve the effect of not exposing the side plate of the inner container 11.

The outer side plate 16 is provided with a first connecting structure fixedly connected with the support device, so that the outer side plate 16 is stably connected with the support device, preventing the outer side plate 16 from falling due to loose connection, and avoiding noise caused by vibration of the outer side plate 16 during operation of the dishwasher, thereby improving user experience.

[0157] Specifically, the first connecting structure includes a connecting arm 161 bent at the bottom end of the outer side plate 16, and a connecting portion provided on the connecting arm 161. The outer side plate 16 has a connecting surface connected with the support device, and the connecting arm 161 also functions as a positioning element during assembly of the support device and the outer side plate 16, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the outer side plate 16 and the support device. The connecting arm is integrally arranged along the length direction of the bottom end of the plate-shaped structure or is arranged at intervals.

[0158] The connecting arm 161 is bent at the bottom end of the outer side plate 16 towards the side opposite to the outer side plate 16. The connecting arm 161 is bent at the bottom end of the outer side plate 16 towards the side opposite to the outer side plate 16, so that the connecting position of the outer side plate 16 and the support device is not exposed, and the appearance of the inner container of the dishwasher is not affected.

[0159] Alternatively, the connecting arm 161 is bent at the bottom end of the outer side plate 16 towards the side away from the inner container. The connecting arm 161 is bent at the bottom end of the outer side plate 16 towards the side away from the inner container, and the connecting arm 161 is located on the side of the outer side plate 16 away from the inner container rather than between the inner container and the outer side plate 16, thereby increasing the assembly space, making the assembly of the outer side plate 16 and the support device more convenient, and improving the assembly efficiency.

[0160] The outer side plate 16 and the support device are fixedly connected through a clamping structure, and the connecting portion is a clamping boss or a clamping hole provided on the connecting arm 161.

[0165] The limiting groove is provided on the outer side plate 16 and extends along the drawer direction of the dishwasher. A first limiting part is provided on the groove wall near the slot of the limiting groove. The limiting groove is provided on the outer side plate 16 and extends along the drawer direction of the dishwasher, and the first limiting part is provided on the groove wall near the slot of the limiting groove. The connecting part of the support device and the limiting groove assembly connection can slide into the limiting groove from one end of the limiting groove, and the first limiting part provided on the groove wall of the slot of the limiting groove limits the connecting part of the support device from moving out of the upper slot of the limiting groove.

[0166] Specifically, the first limiting part is a limiting boss extending along the length direction of the limiting groove. Preferably, the limiting boss extends along the length direction of the limiting groove as a whole or is arranged at intervals. The limiting boss is integrally injection molded on the groove wall of the limiting groove. The limiting boss extends along the length direction of the limiting groove as a whole, which is easy to form, and the limiting boss is arranged at intervals along the length direction of the limiting groove, which saves the material for making the limiting boss and makes the assembly of the limiting groove and the support device easier.

[0167] The limiting groove is further provided with a second limiting part, and the second limiting part is a limiting wall provided at one end of the length direction of the limiting groove. The second limiting part prevents the connecting part of the support device from moving out of one end of the length direction of the limiting groove.

[0168] Specifically, the limiting wall is integrally formed with the limiting groove. That is, one end of the length direction of the limiting groove is provided with an opening for the connecting part of the support device to enter, and the other end is closed.

[0169] The connecting part is arranged on the end of the limiting groove away from the limiting wall, and the relative position of the connecting part of the supporting device and the connecting part of the limiting groove is clamped and fixed, so that the supporting device is stably connected with the outer side plate 16.

[0170] The connecting part is arranged on the end of the limiting groove away from the limiting wall, and the relative position of the connecting part of the supporting device and the connecting part of the limiting groove is clamped and fixed, so that the supporting device is stably connected with the outer side plate 16.

[0171] Alternatively, the limiting groove is arranged on the outer side plate 16 in the pulling direction of the dishwasher, and the connecting part is arranged in the limiting groove. The connecting part of the supporting device is firmly fixed in the limiting groove through the connecting part, so that the lower part of the outer side plate 16 is stably connected with the supporting device, and the outer side plate 16 is prevented from falling due to unstable installation.

[0172] Specifically, the outer side plate 16 and the supporting device are fixedly connected through a clamping structure, and the connecting part is a clamping boss or a clamping hole arranged on the groove wall of the limiting groove. The outer side plate 16 and the supporting device are fixedly connected through the clamping structure, without the need for additional connecting parts, thereby saving costs and accelerating the connection and assembly efficiency.

[0173] Further, the clamping boss or the clamping hole is integrally arranged on the groove wall of the limiting groove in the pulling direction of the dishwasher; or the clamping boss or the clamping hole is arranged on the connecting arm in the pulling direction of the dishwasher. The clamping boss is integrally injection molded on the groove wall of the limiting groove, or the clamping hole is integrally arranged on the groove wall of the limiting groove. The clamping boss or the clamping hole is easily formed, and the clamping boss or the clamping hole is arranged in the length direction of the limiting groove, thereby saving the material for manufacturing the clamping boss and facilitating the assembly of the limiting groove and the supporting device.

[0174] As another embodiment of the present embodiment, the outer side plate 16 and the supporting device are fixedly connected through a connecting part, and the connecting part is a connecting hole arranged on the groove wall of the limiting groove for penetrating the connecting part. The connecting part is a screw, and the screw is tightly connected with the supporting device and the outer side plate 16 by penetrating the connecting hole arranged on the groove wall of the limiting groove. The screw is a standard part and is easy to purchase. A new connecting structure does not need to be designed, and only the connecting hole needs to be arranged on the groove wall of the limiting groove. The connection process is mature and reliable.

[0175] The limiting groove is integrally bent at the lower end of the outer side plate 16. The connection strength of the limiting groove and the outer side plate 16 is large, so that the connection between the outer side plate 16 and the limiting groove is more stable.

[0176] Specifically, the limiting groove is a U-shaped groove 161 formed by bending the lower end of the outer side plate 16 to the side of the opposite outer side plate 16. The connecting position of the outer side plate 16 and the support device is not exposed, and the aesthetic appearance of the inner container of the dishwasher is not affected.

[0177] As another embodiment of the present embodiment, the limiting groove is a U-shaped groove 161 formed by bending the bottom end of the outer side plate 16 away from the inner container. The bottom end of the outer side plate 16 is bent away from the inner container to form a limiting groove. The limiting groove is located on the side of the outer side plate 16 body away from the inner container, rather than between the inner container and the outer side plate 16. This increases the assembly and connection space, making it easier to assemble and connect the outer side plate 16 and the support device, and speeding up the assembly efficiency.

[0178] Alternatively, the connecting portion is a connecting hole provided on the groove wall of the outer side plate 16 or the limiting groove for passing the connecting piece. The connecting piece can be a standard piece such as a bolt or a screw, or the connecting piece is a buckle, and the connecting hole is a buckle mounting hole provided on the groove wall of the outer side plate 16 or the limiting groove. The buckle is passed through the buckle mounting hole to fixedly connect the outer side plate 16 and the support device. The buckle mounting hole is the fourth buckle mounting hole 162.

[0179] Further, a slide rail is also provided along the pulling direction of the dishwasher. The slide rail is provided with a limiting structure near one end of the door body of the dishwasher. The outer side plate 16 is provided with an avoiding gap 164 near the end of the limiting structure. The avoiding gap 164 not only plays a role in avoiding the limiting structure at the end of the slide rail, but also plays a role in cooperating with the limiting structure provided at the end of the slide rail.

[0180] As shown in Figure 15 The upper end of the outer side plate 16 is provided with a second connecting structure, which is connected with the sealing frame 14 provided at the opening of the inner container. That is, the upper end of the outer side plate 16 is connected with the opening of the inner container through the sealing frame provided at the opening of the inner container. By providing the first connecting structure at the lower part of the outer side plate 16 to fixedly connect with the support device, and providing the second connecting structure at the upper part of the outer side plate 16 to fixedly connect with the sealing frame 14 provided at the opening of the top of the inner container, the outer side plate 16 is further stably arranged outside the inner container, so that the outer side plate 16 does not produce vibration noise during the operation of the dishwasher, and the unsecured end does not shake to produce noise because only one end is fixed and the other end is not fixed.

[0181] Specifically, the upper part of the outer side plate 16 is fixedly connected to the sealing frame 14 by an insertion joint. The second connection structure includes an insertion part and a positioning part, with the positioning part located at the bottom end of the insertion part. The upper part of the outer side plate 16 is connected to the sealing frame by an insertion joint, eliminating the need for additional connectors and improving assembly efficiency. The positioning part serves to position the components during assembly, allowing installers to quickly determine if the outer side plate 16 is properly inserted into the sealing frame 14, thus reducing installation time.

[0182] Furthermore, the insertion portion and / or positioning portion are either integrally extended or spaced apart on the upper part of the outer side plate 16 along the dishwasher's pull-out direction. The integral extension of the insertion portion and / or positioning portion on the upper part of the outer side plate 16 along the dishwasher's pull-out direction facilitates processing and forming. The spaced arrangement of the insertion portion and / or positioning portion on the upper part of the outer side plate 16 along the dishwasher's pull-out direction reduces the difficulty of insertion and connection, and makes assembly between the upper part of the outer side plate 16 and the sealing frame 14 easier.

[0183] The upper end of the outer side panel 16 is bent outwards towards the inner liner to form a first bend. The free end of the first bend is bent horizontally inwards towards the inner liner to form a horizontal bend. The free end of the horizontal bend is bent vertically upwards to form a vertical bend. The horizontal bend serves as a positioning part, and the vertical bend serves as a connecting part. Preferably, the first bend is an arc-shaped bend. The connecting part and the positioning part are integrally bent from the upper part of the side wall body, increasing the connection strength between the connecting part and / or the positioning part and the outer side panel 16. The first bend brings the outer side panel 16 closer to the inner liner, making the outer side panel 16 more closely fitted to the inner liner, reducing the space occupied by the outer side panel 16, and increasing the internal space of the inner liner.

[0184] In one embodiment of this invention, the drawer dishwasher is equipped with a photoelectric detection device for detecting whether the dishwasher door is open or closed. The outer panel 16 is provided with a light path avoidance hole for the light path emitted by or reflected from the photoelectric detection device. The photoelectric detection device allows the user to clearly understand the degree of closure of the dishwasher door, preventing situations where the user forgets to close the door or the door is not fully closed. Furthermore, it prevents water from splashing out of the door during operation, thus avoiding any impact on the user experience. Preferably, the light path avoidance hole includes a first light path avoidance hole 1631 and a second light path avoidance hole 1632.

[0185] The following is a detailed description of the assembly relationship between the support device and the outer side plate.

[0186] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2The outer side plates are arranged on opposite sides of the inner container, and the support device is connected with the outer side plates. Since the support device 13 comprises a first support device and a second support device, the outer side plates 16 also comprise a first outer side plate arranged on the side of the first support device and a second outer side plate arranged on the side of the second support device, and the two outer side plates are symmetrically arranged.

[0187] The outer side plates need to be fixedly arranged on the side of the support member away from the inner container, and play a decorative role. As shown in Figure 5 The support device comprises an outer side plate positioning portion 1342 and an outer side plate positioning connection, and the outer side plate has an outer side plate positioning matching portion and a support device positioning connection.

[0188] As shown in Figure 5 The outer side plate positioning portion 1342 comprises a vertical bottom edge extending downward from the bottom edge of the support device, and the positioning matching portion of the outer side plate comprises at least a positioning groove arranged on the bottom, as shown in Figure 12 The positioning groove is a U-shaped groove 161 formed by bending the bottom edge of the outer side plate body toward the direction of the support device, and the width of the U-shaped groove matches the thickness of the outer side plate positioning portion 1342, so that the outer side plate positioning portion of the support device can be sunk into the positioning groove.

[0189] Another embodiment is that, as shown in Figure 14 The outer side plate positioning portion 1342 comprises a positioning platform extending from the bottom edge of the support device toward the outer side plate, and the positioning matching structure of the outer side plate comprises at least a bent edge arranged on the bottom and bent toward the support device, and the bent edge is arranged above the positioning platform.

[0190] The support device needs to be fixedly connected after the positioning of the outer side plate is completed, so as to ensure that the outer side plate will not fall off. The support device further comprises an outer side plate connecting portion 1341 fixedly connected with the outer side plate, and the outer side plate 16 has an outer side plate connecting matching portion fixedly connected with the support device 13.

[0191] As shown in Figure 1 The inner container assembly further comprises a sealing frame 14 on the top of the inner container, which can also limit the outer side plate to a certain extent. One side of the sealing frame has a blocking edge 141 toward the outer side plate, which can limit the outer side plate, and the bottom of the outer side plate is positioned with the support device, and the top is matched with the sealing frame.

[0192] As shown in Figure 13As shown, the outer side plate 16 and the support device 13 have mounting holes corresponding in position, which are fixedly connected by inserting fasteners after alignment. This structure can be provided together with the door body assembly structure, and the outer side plate is provided with fourth buckle mounting holes 162 corresponding to the first buckle mounting holes 13311, and the outer side plate, the support device and the door body are fixedly connected together by buckles, reducing the setting of fasteners and facilitating assembly. Alternatively, the fastener is a screw, and the mounting hole is a screw hole. At least one screw hole is provided at the corresponding position of the support device and the outer side plate, and a plurality of screw holes can also be provided to facilitate the fixation of the structure.

[0193] As the support device has more mounting structures, some mounting structures need to be shielded to prevent the exposed structure from being unsightly, but some structures or functions cannot be shielded and need to be avoided. The outer side plate has an avoiding structure. Figure 13 As shown, the support device is provided with a light guide column mounting position, and the outer side plate has an avoiding hole for avoiding the light path. The outer side plate includes a first avoiding hole 1631 and a second avoiding hole 1632. The first avoiding hole 1631 avoids the emission light path, and the second avoiding hole avoids the reflection light path 1632. A light reflecting member corresponding to the light path is provided on the inner wall of the cabinet, and detection of the position of the door body is achieved by reflection.

[0194] In addition, due to the decorative effect of the outer side plate, more structures should be shielded as much as possible to ensure the appearance. The support device is provided with a slide rail connecting part fixedly connected with a slide rail, and the outer side plate covers the slide rail connecting part and part of the slide rail from the side.

[0195] The slide rail has a limiting protrusion at one end, the slide rail connecting part has a limiting notch abutting against the limiting protrusion, and the outer side plate has an avoiding notch matching the shape of the limiting notch. If avoiding is not performed, the limiting notch is not firm in limiting the slide rail, and the plate at the limiting notch is thin and insufficient to abut against the limiting protrusion.

[0196] The outer side plate is overall square-shaped, and the length / width of the outer side plate is not less than the corresponding length / width of the support device, so as to be able to shield the structure of the support device. The support device has a smooth matching surface towards the side of the outer side plate, and the outer side plate is closely attached to and completely covers the matching surface.

[0197] The outer side plate can be slidably matched with the support device through positioning grooves and other positioning structures during assembly, the assembly method is simple, and the accuracy of positioning can be ensured. The outer side plate is fixed on the support device together with the connecting structure between the door body and the support device, reducing the setting of mounting parts, saving costs, and reducing assembly steps.

[0198] Embodiment five

[0199] The embodiment mainly introduces the specific structure of the light guide column assembly structure matched with the support device and the light guide column.

[0200] The LED lamp is arranged on the circuit board in the dishwasher, and the light emitted by the LED lamp is transmitted through the light guide column. The assembly structure of the support device further includes a light guide column assembly structure arranged on the support main body, which is used for mounting the light guide column to realize detection of the position of the door body.

[0201] Specifically, the support main body includes a first support frame and a second support frame fixedly connected to one end of the first support frame. The second support frame includes a vertical plate vertically arranged on the first support frame. The first light guide column mounting position and the second light guide column mounting position are light guide column mounting holes arranged in a longitudinal direction on the vertical plate.

[0202] As shown in Figure 10 , Figure 12 and Figure 16 , the light guide column mounting hole includes a first mounting hole 13312 and a second mounting hole 13313 arranged opposite to each other and horizontally spaced apart by a certain distance. The two mounting holes arranged at intervals are used to realize more stable mounting and fixing of the light guide column.

[0203] Further, as shown in Figure 12 , the vertical plate includes the first vertical plate 1331 and the second vertical plate in the third embodiment. The first vertical plate and the second vertical plate are arranged in parallel and spaced apart. The first mounting hole 13312 is arranged on the first vertical plate 1331, and the second mounting hole 13313 is arranged on the second vertical plate corresponding to the first mounting hole 13312.

[0204] Preferably, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 16 , a third vertical plate 1361 is arranged above the support column and is vertically connected to the first vertical plate 1331. The second vertical plate includes an upper vertical plate 1362 arranged on the upper part of the third vertical plate. The second mounting hole 13313 is arranged on the upper vertical plate 1362.

[0205] Specifically, as shown in Figure 16 , the first mounting hole 13312 is a circular hole opened on the first vertical plate 1331, and the second mounting hole 13313 is an arc-shaped notch hole opened on the upper vertical plate 1362.

[0206] Preferably, as shown in Figure 10 , the light guide column assembly structure further includes a light guide column support plate for supporting the light guide column, preventing the light guide column from falling off from the light guide column mounting position and falling from the gap between the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate. The light guide column support plate includes a first light guide column support plate 1363 located below the first light guide column mounting position and a second light guide column support plate 1364 located below the second light guide column mounting position.

[0207] The first light guide column support plate 1363 and the second light guide column support plate 1364 are connected between the first longitudinal plate 1331 and the second longitudinal plate, and play a role in supporting the light guide column and enhancing the stability of the first longitudinal plate and the second longitudinal plate.

[0208] The first light guide column mounting position is used for mounting the first light guide column for light incidence, and the second light guide column mounting position is used for mounting the second light guide column for light emission. The light path is emitted from the first light guide column, and a reflecting element is correspondingly arranged on the box body. The light path is refracted back to the second light guide column through the reflecting element, so as to realize detection of whether the door body is closed in place. If the light path can be refracted back to the second light guide column, it can be judged that the door body is closed in place.

[0209] Embodiment six

[0210] This embodiment will introduce the specific structure of the inner container and how the inner container is made in detail.

[0211] As shown in Figures 18-19 The inner container 11 includes a bottom plate and a side plate assembly arranged around the bottom plate to form a side wall of the inner container. The side plate assembly is arranged as an outward convex structure protruding from the inside of the inner container 11 to the outside.

[0212] In the above scheme, the inner container 11 is arranged as an outward convex structure protruding from the inside to the outside, which increases the capacity of the inner container 11 and realizes the expansion of the inner container.

[0213] Preferably, the inner container 11 is slidably arranged in the box body of the dishwasher. The side plate assembly includes two side plates arranged in the sliding direction of the inner container 11. Both of the two side plates are arranged as outward convex structures protruding away from the opposite side plate.

[0214] In the above scheme, both of the two side plates are arranged as outward convex structures, thereby increasing the size of the inner container in the direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the inner container and increasing the internal space of the inner container.

[0215] Preferably, the inner container includes a front plate and a rear plate connected to both ends of the two side plates respectively. The middle part of the side plate protrudes outward, and the two sides of the side plate in the sliding direction of the inner container are respectively bent and extended to the front plate and the rear plate.

[0216] In the above scheme, the configuration of the side plate is obtained by stamping a large area in the middle of the side plate to form a structure with a protrusion in the middle and a recess around the side, thereby increasing the internal space of the inner container. Specifically, the side plate is stamped to form a protrusion 114 on the side opposite to the side plate on the other side, thereby forming a structure in which the side plate is shaped as a bottom wall with a protrusion and a peripheral wall extending towards the side plate on the other side. In this way, a large area in the middle of the side plate is stamped to increase the internal space of the inner container.

[0217] Alternatively, the configuration of the side plate is obtained by bending the lower edge of the side plate inwardly to form a structure in which the upper part of the side plate protrudes and the lower part is recessed, the recessed structure in the lower part being used to avoid the slide rail or support device, and the protruding structure in the upper part increasing the internal space of the inner container.

[0218] Preferably, the side plate is provided with a first extension surface bent towards the front plate and the rear plate on both sides of the sliding direction of the inner container to connect the front plate and the rear plate, respectively, the middle part of the side plate is a planar structure, and the two sides of the planar structure are smoothly connected to the first extension surface on the corresponding side through a first arc surface. The middle part of the side plate is stamped to form a protruding planar surface, and the planar arc surface transitions to the side edge of the side plate. In this way, the stamping strength of the side plate is small, the strength of the manufactured inner container is high, the quality is good, and the overall gloss of the smoothly transitioned inner container is good, and the appearance is beautiful. Through the design on the first extension surface, the joint position is transferred from the corner between the side plate and the front and rear plates to the plane where the front plate or the rear plate is located, thereby facilitating and simplifying the connection of the side plate with the front and rear plates.

[0219] The middle part of the side plate is a planar surface, and the two sides of the planar surface transition to the side edge of the side plate through a smooth first arc surface along the sliding direction of the inner container. The planar arc surface of the middle part of the side plate transitions to the side edge of the side plate. In this way, the stamping strength of the side plate is small, the strength of the manufactured inner container is high, the quality is good, and the overall gloss of the smoothly transitioned inner container is good, and the appearance is beautiful.

[0220] In the embodiment, the inner container is a drawer structure, and the inner container includes a front plate and a rear plate connected to the two ends of two side plates, respectively. The two sides of the side plate are provided with a first extension surface bent and extended towards the front plate and the rear plate, respectively. The first extension surface is connected to the corresponding front plate / rear plate, and the bottom wall of the inner container is connected and transitioned to the first extension surface through the smooth first arc surface. Through the design on the first extension surface, the joint position is transferred from the corner between the side plate and the front and rear plates to the plane where the front plate or the rear plate is located, thereby facilitating and simplifying the connection of the side plate with the front and rear plates.

[0221] Referring to Figure 19 In one scheme, the side plate is stamped to form a recessed surface 115 recessed into the inner container at the bottom of the side plate after stamping the side plate to form a protrusion 114. The recessed surface 115 is used to avoid the slide rail or support device of the dishwasher.

[0222] In the above scheme, the inner container is formed with a recessed surface for avoiding the dishwasher slide rail or support device, so as to make full use of the space in the dishwasher shell, and facilitate the expansion of the inner container.

[0223] Preferably, the recessed surface 115 comprises a recessed surface gradually inwardly recessed from top to bottom inside the inner container and a vertical surface extending downward from the end of the recessed surface, and the cross-sectional profile of the recessed surface longitudinally cut by the vertical surface perpendicular to the side plate where the recessed surface is located comprises, from top to bottom, a first curve 1153 with a curvature center inside the inner container and a second curve 1154 with a curvature center outside the inner container, and the first curve and the second curve are smoothly connected. 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. Through this structure design, the stretching strength of the two bending parts of the convex extrusion edge, or the two bending parts of the recessed surface 115, is the same, the plate material is uniformly stretched, and the thickness is uniform, thereby preventing local excessive stretching from affecting the quality of the inner container.
