The bowl basket can be fixedly installed in the inner container. Of course, it can also be detachably installed in the inner container and can be selected and designed according to actual needs.

[0054] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , an embodiment of the present invention provides a dishwasher door assembly 100, which is hereinafter simply referred to as the door assembly 100. The door assembly 100 includes an inner door and an outer door 110. The inner door is installed at the opening, and the outer door 110 is connected to the inner door.

[0055] In one embodiment, the door assembly 100 further includes a control panel 160. The outer door 110 has an opposite outer side and an inner side. A receiving groove 123 is provided on the inner side of the outer door 110, and the receiving groove 123 has an upwardly opened notch. The control panel 160 is installed in the receiving groove 123 from the installation opening 122.

[0056] Specifically, the outer side refers to the side of the outer door 110 facing away from the inner door, and the inner side refers to the side of the outer door 110 close to the inner door. A receiving groove 123 is provided on the inner side of the outer door 110. There can be various structures for the receiving groove 123. For example, the receiving groove 123 includes two first side plates arranged oppositely and two second side plates arranged oppositely; or, the groove wall includes two first side plates arranged oppositely; or, the groove wall includes two second side plates arranged oppositely. The receiving groove 123 only needs to be able to receive the control panel 160. When the control panel 160 is received in the receiving groove 123, the top surface of the control panel 160 can be flush with the top surface of the outer door 110, or can be slightly lower than the top surface of the outer door 110, so that the entire control panel 160 can be wrapped. Of course, the top surface of the control panel 160 can also be slightly higher than the top surface of the outer door 110, without specific limitation. The control panel 160 is specifically a top-control type control panel 160, that is, a control interface is provided on the top surface of the control panel 160, and this top-control type control panel 160 has the characteristics of being able to avoid bending over and hiding the control interface.

[0057] The dishwasher door assembly 100 of the present invention includes an outer door 110 and a control panel 160. An accommodation groove 123 is provided on the inner side of the outer door 110, and the accommodation groove 123 has an upwardly opening notch. The control panel 160 is installed in the accommodation groove 123 from the notch, which makes the disassembly and assembly of the door assembly 100 more convenient, improves the disassembly and assembly efficiency, and at the same time hides the control panel 160, improves the consistency of the overall appearance structure of the door assembly 100, and further enhances the overall texture of the door assembly 100. In addition, the operation interface of the control panel 160 is arranged at the top of the control panel 160, which is convenient for users to operate and avoids users bending down.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 In an embodiment, the top surface of the control panel 160 is flush with the top surface of the outer door 110. In order to ensure that the top surface of the control panel 160 is flush with the top surface of the outer door 110, two overlapping portions 161 may be provided at both ends of the control panel 160 along the length direction, and the overlapping portions 161 overlap on the edges of the notch.

[0059] Among them, the notch of the accommodation groove 123 is slightly lower than the top surface of the outer door 110, so that when the control panel 160 is installed in the accommodation groove 123, it can better ensure that the top surface of the control panel 160 is flush with the top surface of the outer door 110. The overlapping portion 161 is optionally an overlapping plate formed by protruding both ends of the control panel 160. The thickness of the overlapping plate is small, that is, the overlapping plate is very thin but has a certain strength and can play a role in supporting the control panel 160. For the convenience of processing, the overlapping plate and the control panel 160 are integrally formed.

[0060] In another embodiment, a contact portion (not shown in the figure) is provided on the inner side of the outer door 110, and the lower end of the control panel 160 abuts against the contact portion. Here, the contact portion mainly plays a role in supporting the control panel 160 and can ensure that the control panel 160 is stably installed in the accommodation groove 123.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 In an embodiment, two oppositely arranged mounting portions 1322 are convexly provided on the inner side of the outer door 110, the accommodation groove 123 and the notch are formed between the two mounting portions 1322, and the two overlapping portions 161 overlap on the two mounting portions 1322 one by one.

[0062] In this embodiment, the two oppositely arranged mounting parts 1322 respectively form the opposite two side plates of the accommodating groove 123, that is, the side of the accommodating groove 123 facing the inner door is an opening 181. Optionally, the distance between the two opposite mounting parts 1322 may be greater than the length of the control panel 160 or may be approximately equal to the length of the control panel 160, which can be selected and designed according to actual needs.

[0063] Further, please refer to Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , a limiting plate 1323 is arranged on the mounting part 1322 to limit the control panel 160 on the side of the control panel 160 facing away from the outer door 110. The limiting plate 1323 and the mounting part 1322 may be integrally formed, or may of course be separately arranged. The limiting plate 1323 on each mounting part 1322 protrudes from the mounting part 1322 in a direction approaching the other mounting part 1322. The limiting plate 1323 is substantially parallel to the outer door 110, so that the limiting plate 1323 can limit the control panel 160 on the side of the control panel 160 facing away from the outer door 110.

[0064] There are many structures for the mounting part 1322. For example, the mounting part 1322 is plate-shaped and its length direction extends along the vertical direction of the outer door 110; for another example, the mounting part 1322 includes a plurality of limiting strips arranged at intervals along the vertical direction of the outer door 110. Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in this embodiment, the mounting part 1322 is plate-shaped and its length direction extends along the vertical direction of the outer door 110, the length direction of the limiting plate 1323 extends along the vertical direction of the outer door 110, and the outer door 110, the two mounting parts 1322 and the two limiting plates 1323 enclose to form the accommodating groove 123.

[0065] In one embodiment, the control panel 160 is detachably connected to the inner door, and the outer door 110 is detachably connected to the inner door. When installing the outer door 110 and the control panel 160 of this embodiment on the inner door, first install the control panel 160 into the accommodating groove 123 inside the outer door 110 from the notch, and then fix the outer door 110 and the control panel 160 to the inner door respectively. Specifically, the control panel 160 and the inner door may be connected by screws, snap connection or plug connection, etc., and the outer door 110 and the inner door may also be connected by screws, plug connection or snap connection, etc. In this embodiment, there is no need for a fixed connection between the outer door 110 and the control panel 160, reducing the fixing processes such as screwing.

[0066] Of course, it can be understood that in other embodiments, the control panel 160 and the outer door 110 may also be fixedly connected. In this way, when installing the outer door 110 and the control panel 160 of this embodiment on the inner door, first install the control panel 160 into the receiving groove 123 on the inner side of the outer door 110 from the notch, then fix the control panel 160 to the outer door 110, and finally fixedly connect the fixing structure of the control panel 160 and the outer door 110 to the inner door.

[0067] In one embodiment, the structure of the outer door 110 is described in detail.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 6 to 9 , in the door assembly 100 of the present invention, the outer door 110 includes a door frame 120 and a panel 150. The door frame 120 is formed by splicing at least a plurality of profile frames 130. The plurality of profile frames 130 enclose an installation position, and the panel 150 is installed in the installation position.

[0069] Among them, the door frame 120 is formed by splicing at least a plurality of profile frames 130. Optionally, the door frame 120 may be formed by splicing two profile frames 130, or may be formed by splicing three, four or more profile frames 130. In this embodiment, the door frame 120 is formed by splicing four profile frames 130. Specifically, the four profile frames 130 include two first profile frames 130 arranged oppositely and two second profile frames 130 arranged oppositely. The first profile frame 130 extends in the horizontal direction, and the second profile frame 130 extends in the vertical direction.

[0070] The profile frame 130 is an extruded profile, specifically a metal extruded profile, such as an aluminum alloy extruded profile. The door frame 120 of the outer door 110 is assembled by the profile frames 130, which has high strength, good overall consistency and good texture. At the same time, various processing techniques can be applied to aluminum alloy profiles, such as extrusion, wire drawing, sandblasting and anodic oxidation processes, which have good texture and beautiful appearance. Among them, profiles are objects with a certain geometric shape made of iron or steel and materials with certain strength and toughness (such as plastics, aluminum, fiberglass, etc.) through processes such as rolling, extrusion, and casting. A plurality of the profile frames 130 enclose to form an installation position, and there can be many structures for the installation position. For example, the installation position is an installation groove 121 formed by enclosing a plurality of the profile frames 130. Specifically, the installation groove 121 has a notch opened forward, and the panel 150 can be installed into the installation groove 121 from the notch. Another example is that the installation position is an installation surface formed by enclosing a plurality of the profile frames 130, that is, the side surfaces (i.e., the front surfaces) of a plurality of profile frames 130 facing away from the inner door enclose to form an installation surface, and the panel 150 is adhesively installed on the installation surface. The panel 150 can be a metal panel 150, a glass panel 150, a plastic panel 150, etc., without specific limitation. Optionally, in this embodiment, in order to improve the texture of the outer door 110, the panel 150 is specifically a glass panel 150, the door frame 120 is an aluminum alloy door frame, and the glass panel 150 is adhesively fixed to the door frame 120.

[0071] In the dishwasher door body assembly 100 of the present invention, the door frame 120 of the outer door 110 is formed by splicing at least a plurality of profile frames 130, and a plurality of the profile frames 130 enclose to form an installation position, and the panel 150 is installed in the installation position. In this way, the door body assembly 100 can adopt a door frame 120 (such as an aluminum alloy door frame 120) that is convenient to process and simple to assemble, with high strength, good overall consistency and high reliability; then bonding panels 150 of different colors (such as glass panels 150), the formed outer door 110 has a beautiful and generous shape, good texture and high durability.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 6 to 9 , in an embodiment, the dishwasher door body assembly 100 further includes a connector 140, and two adjacent profile frames 130 are connected by the connector 140.

[0073] In this embodiment, a slot 1311 is provided at the end of the profile frame 130. The connecting member 140 is generally L-shaped. The connecting member 140 includes a first insertion portion 141 and a second insertion portion 142. The first insertion portion 141 is connected to the second insertion portion 142. The first insertion portion 141 is inserted into the slot 1311 of one of the profile frames 130, and the second insertion portion 142 is inserted into the slot 1311 of another adjacent profile frame 130 to connect the two adjacent profile frames 130. Optionally, the door frame 120 is formed by splicing four profile frames 130, and the adjacent two profile frames 130 are connected by inserting the connecting member 140. To further improve the connection reliability between the connecting member 140 and the profile frame 130, structural adhesive can be applied in the slot 1311 of the connecting member 140 and the profile frame 130, so that the connecting member 140 is bonded to the profile frame 130, improving the connection strength between the connecting member 140 and the profile frame 130, and further improving the overall structural stability and reliability of the door frame 120.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in an embodiment, the profile frame 130 includes a frame body 131, and a slot 1311 for inserting the connecting member 140 is provided at the end of the frame body 131. The profile frame 130 further includes a side plate 132 connected to the frame body 131, and the side plate 132 is provided on one side of the frame body 131. Optionally, the side plate 132 and the frame body 131 are arranged at a right angle. In this way, by inserting the connecting member 140 into the slots 1311 of the frame bodies 131 of two adjacent profile frames 130, multiple profile frames 130 can be spliced into a door frame 120. At the same time, the side plates 132 of multiple profile frames 130 form the respective side plates of the door frame 120 (such as the upper, lower, left, and right four side plates), making the texture of the door frame 120 better, and an installation groove 121 for installing the panel 150 and a receiving groove 123 for receiving the control panel 160 can be constructed through the side plates.

[0075] Specifically, a limiting portion 1321 protrudes from the side plate 132 toward the side close to the panel 150 of the frame body 131, that is, the limiting portion 1321 protrudes from the outer side of the side plate 132. The installation position is an installation groove 121 formed by the frame body 131 of the plurality of profile frames 130 and the limiting portion 1321. Here, the limiting portions 1321 of the plurality of profiles form the groove walls of the installation groove 121, which can limit the panel 150 vertically and horizontally, so that the panel 150 can be stably installed in the installation groove 121. In addition, two installation portions 1322 protrude from the inner sides of the two relatively arranged side plates 132, and the accommodation groove 123 is formed between the two installation portions 1322. The control panel 160 is installed in the accommodation groove 123, so that the operation interface of the door body assembly 100 is hidden, improving the consistency of the overall appearance structure of the door body assembly 100, and further enhancing the overall texture of the door body assembly 100.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , in an embodiment, the slot 1311 has a socket, and the plane where the socket is located is arranged at an angle with the plane where the side plate 132 is located. For example but not limited to, the angle between the plane where the socket is located and the plane where the side plate 132 is located is 45°. In this way, the first insertion portion 141 and the second insertion portion 142 of the connecting member 140 can be well inserted into the slots 1311 of two adjacent profile frames 130, avoiding the unappealing appearance of the door frame 120 caused by excessive exposure of the connecting member 140.

[0077] In addition, please refer to Figure 9 , in order to further improve the connection strength between the connecting member 140 and the profile frame 130 and enhance the overall reliability of the door frame 120, a clearance 143 can be formed between the first insertion portion 141 and the second insertion portion 142 to avoid the slot walls of the slot 1311. In this way, when the first insertion portion 141 or the second insertion portion 142 of the connecting member 140 is inserted into the slot 1311 of the profile frame 130, a side wall of the slot 1311 can be embedded into the clearance 143, that is, a side wall of the slot 1311 is located between the first insertion portion 141 and the second insertion portion 142. In this way, it can better prevent the connecting member 140 from coming out of the slot 1311, thus ensuring that the connecting member 140 can be stably inserted into the slot 1311.

[0078] Please refer to again Figure 6 and Figure 8, a rib 1312 protrudes from the side wall of the slot 1311 close to the side plate 132, and the rib 1312 extends along the length direction of the frame body 131. Here, it should be noted that the side wall of the slot 1311 close to the frame can be a part of the side plate 132, that is, a part of the side plate 132 constitutes the side wall of the slot 1311; of course, it can also be other structures connected to the side plate 132, that is, the side plate 132 and the side wall of the slot 1311 are independent structures. By providing the rib 1312 on the side wall of the slot 1311, it is beneficial to insert the first insertion portion 141 and the second insertion portion 142 of the connector 140 into the slot 1311. Among them, in order to play a good guiding role, a groove for the rib 1312 to insert can be provided on the connector 140, and the rib 1312 is in sliding fit with the groove to play a better guiding role in the installation of the connector 140. Of course, the groove may not be provided on the connector 140, that is, the rib 1312 abuts against the surface of the connector 140, which can reduce the contact area between the connector 140 and the slot 1311 and reduce the sliding friction force, so as to facilitate the insertion of the connector 140 into the slot 1311.

[0079] For the convenience of users, in an embodiment, the door body assembly 100 further includes a handle 170, and the handle 170 is installed on the outer door 110 for a user to hold. Among them, the structure of the outer door 110 can refer to the structure of the outer door 110 in the foregoing embodiment, but is not limited thereto.

[0080] The structure of the handle 170 and the assembly method of the handle 170 and the outer door 110 will be introduced below.

[0081] Please refer to Figure 10 , in the door body assembly 100 of the present invention, an installation opening 122 is provided on the outer door 110, the handle 170 is installed in the installation opening 122, and the handle 170 has a handle groove 171. In this way, by hiding the handle 170 on the outer door 110, compared with the protruding handle 170, the overall thickness of the dishwasher door body assembly 100 is saved, the space required for the installation of the dishwasher door body assembly 100 is reduced, and at the same time, it can prevent children from accidentally touching the handle 170 during play, improving the safety performance of the dishwasher door body assembly 100.

[0082] Currently, the hidden handles 170 (embedded handles 170) used for the dishwasher handles 170 on the market are generally made of plastic, with relatively low strength. They are prone to deformation after long-term use and have poor texture. However, the hidden handle 170 adopted in the embodiment of the present invention is a handle 170 made of metal, with high strength and not easily deformed. At the same time, the handle 170 also has a metallic texture, improving the overall consistency of the handle 170 and the outer door 110. The processing method and structure of the handle 170 are not specifically limited and will be introduced in detail below.

[0083] Please refer to Figure 11 、 Figure 12 and Figure 13 , in some embodiments, the handle 170 is a metal milling part. For example, but not limited to, the handle 170 is an aluminum alloy milling part. Specifically, the handle 170 is milled from a whole aluminum ingot, with simple processing technology, good integrity, and high strength. The surface of the aluminum alloy handle 170 is appropriately surface-treated, such as wire drawing, sandblasting, anodizing, etc., and finally handles 170 of various colors are obtained, with beautiful appearance and simple processing technology.

[0084] In this embodiment, the finger groove 171 of the handle 170 is hollowed out by a milling machine. Specifically, the finger groove 171 has an opening facing the front side of the handle 170. The finger groove 171 includes a first groove wall 1711 and a second groove wall 1712 arranged opposite to each other. The edge of the first groove wall 1711 is provided with a finger arm 1713 extending towards the second groove wall 1712. The finger groove 171 is generally arranged in a rectangular shape and specifically may include an upper groove wall and a lower groove wall arranged opposite to each other, and a left groove wall and a right groove wall arranged opposite to each other. In order to facilitate the user's finger to apply force, the edge of the first groove wall 1711 can extend towards the second groove wall 1712 to form the finger arm 1713, where the first groove wall 1711 can be the upper groove wall or the lower groove wall of the finger groove 171, or the left groove wall or the right groove wall of the finger groove 171, without specific limitation.

[0085] In order to make it more convenient for the user's finger to reach into the finger groove 171 and apply force to the finger arm 1713 to open the outer door 110 of the dishwasher, in this embodiment, the first groove wall 1711 and the second groove wall 1712 extend along the length direction of the handle 170. Specifically, the first groove wall 1711 is the upper groove wall of the finger groove 171, and the second groove wall 1712 is the lower groove wall of the finger groove 171. In this way, the user's finger can bend upward and apply force to the finger arm 1713, enabling the user to easily open the outer door 110 of the dishwasher and improving the user's comfort.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 13, the ratio of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is 0.5 to 0.8. Here, the width W of the buckle arm 1713 can be understood as the distance between the inner surface of the first groove wall 1711 and the lower end surface of the buckle arm 1713, and the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 can be understood as the distance between the bottom of the buckle hand groove 171 opposite to its opening and the buckle arm 1713. If the ratio of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is less than 0.5, when the user's hand reaches into the buckle hand groove 171, the contact area between the finger and the buckle arm 1713 is small, which is not conducive to the finger applying force to the buckle arm 1713. At the same time, it is not convenient for the back of the hand to lean against the inside of the buckle hand groove 171, resulting in a decrease in the user's comfort. If the ratio of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is greater than 0.8, the depth of the user's hand reaching into the buckle hand groove 171 is relatively shallow, which will also affect the finger's force application. Therefore, the ratio range of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is selected to be 0.5 to 0.8.

[0087] Among them, the buckle arm 1713 is smoothly connected to the first groove wall 1711 in a transitional manner. In this way, when the user's hand reaches into the buckle hand groove 171, the smooth connection surface between the buckle arm 1713 and the first groove wall 1711 enables the hand to contact the buckle hand groove 171 smoothly, improving the user's comfort.

[0088] In this embodiment, when the user's hand reaches into the buckle hand groove 171, the outer door 110 of the dishwasher is opened by applying force to the buckle arm 1713 with the finger. To ensure that the depth D of the user's hand reaching into the buckle hand groove 171 is appropriate for the user's finger to apply force to the buckle arm 1713, the ratio of the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 can be 0.2 to 0.5. If the ratio of the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 is less than 0.2, the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is too large relative to the height H, and the length of the finger bending is too short, which is not convenient for the finger to apply force. If the ratio of the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 is greater than 0.5, the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is too small relative to the height, and the depth of the palm falling into the buckle hand groove 171 is too shallow, affecting the palm's force application. Therefore, the ratio range of the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 is selected to be 0.2 to 0.5.

[0089] Please refer to Figures 14 to 19, in some other embodiments, the handle 170 includes a main body portion 180 formed by extrusion of a metal profile, and the finger groove 171 is provided on the main body portion 180. For example but not limited to, the main body portion 180 of the handle 170 is an extrusion part of an aluminum alloy profile. By using metal profile extrusion to process the main body portion 180 of the handle 170, a cross-sectional shape convenient for most people to hold can be made according to the ergonomic principle, further improving the use comfort of the handle 170. At the same time, the mold cost required for extrusion molding is low, it is easy to process and form, and the product consistency is good.

[0090] Please refer to Figure 16 , in this embodiment, the finger groove 171 has an opening facing the front side of the main body portion 180, and the finger groove 171 has an open end 181 penetrating both ends of the main body portion 180 in the length direction. The handle 170 further includes a blocking portion 190, and the blocking portion 190 is provided at both ends of the main body portion 180 in the length direction to block the corresponding open ends 181. Here, since the main body portion 180 of the handle 170 is processed by metal profile extrusion and both ends of the main body portion 180 are open ends 181, by blocking the open ends 181 at both ends of the main body portion 180 with the blocking portion 190, the consistency of the overall structure of the handle 170 can be improved, preventing dust and the like from entering through the open ends 181 of the main body portion 180, which is convenient for users to clean; at the same time, it can also play the role of heat insulation and waterproofing. Optionally, the blocking portion 190 is made of a metal material, such as but not limited to a zinc alloy material.

[0091] There are many connection methods between the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180. For example, the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180 are fixed by an adhesive method; or, the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180 are fixed by a snap-fit or plug-in method, without specific limitation. Please refer to Figure 17 and Figure 18 , in an embodiment, a limiting groove 182 is provided on one of the end of the main body portion 180 and the blocking portion 190, and a limiting member 191 is provided on the other, and the limiting member 191 is inserted into the limiting groove 182 to connect the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180. Among them, it can be that the limiting groove 182 is provided at the end of the main body portion 180 and the limiting member 191 is provided on the blocking portion 190; or it can be that the limiting member 191 is provided at the end of the main body portion 180 and the limiting groove 182 is provided on the blocking portion 190.

[0092] Further, in this embodiment, in order to improve the connection strength between the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180 and enhance the overall structural strength and stability of the handle 170, the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180 can also be bonded. Specifically, a small amount of structural adhesive is applied to the ends of the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180 to bond and fix the blocking portion 190 and the main body portion 180.

[0093] Please refer to Figure 19 , in this embodiment, the handle groove 171 includes a first groove wall 1711 and a second groove wall 1712 which are oppositely arranged, and a handle arm 1713 extending toward the second wall is provided at the edge of the first groove wall 1711. The handle groove 171 is generally rectangularly arranged, and specifically may include an upper groove wall and a lower groove wall which are oppositely arranged, and a left groove wall and a right groove wall which are oppositely arranged. In order to facilitate the user's finger to apply force, the edge of the first groove wall 1711 can extend toward the second groove wall 1712 to form the handle arm 1713, where the first groove wall 1711 can be the upper groove wall or the lower groove wall of the handle groove 171, or the left groove wall or the right groove wall of the handle groove 171, without specific limitation.

[0094] In order to more conveniently allow the user's finger to extend into the handle groove 171 and apply force to the handle arm 1713 to open the outer door 110 of the dishwasher, in this embodiment, the first groove wall 1711 and the second groove wall 1712 extend along the length direction of the handle 170. Specifically, the first groove wall 1711 is the upper groove wall of the handle groove 171, and the second groove wall 1712 is the lower groove wall of the handle groove 171. In this way, the user's finger can bend upward and apply force to the handle arm 1713, enabling the user to easily open the outer door 110 of the dishwasher and enhancing the user's comfort in use.

[0095] Please refer to Figure 19 , in this embodiment, the first groove wall 1711 is located above the second groove wall 1712, and the first groove wall 1711 is an arc-shaped wall protruding in a direction away from the second groove wall 1712. The shape of this arc-shaped wall can well match the cross-sectional shape of most people's handholds, conforming to the ergonomic principle, and can further improve the comfort of use of the handle 170. The second groove wall 1712 is inclined downward in the direction toward the opening of the handle groove 171, so as to increase the height of the handle groove 171 and ensure that the user's hand can bend upward naturally after extending into the handle groove 171, facilitating the user's finger to apply force to the handle arm 1713.

[0096] Among them, the ratio of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is 0.5 to 0.9. Here, the width W of the buckle arm 1713 can be understood as the distance between the highest point on the inner surface of the first groove wall 1711 and the lower end surface of the buckle arm 1713, and the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 can be understood as the distance between the groove bottom of the buckle hand groove 171 opposite to its opening and the buckle arm 1713. If the ratio of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is less than 0.5, when the user's hand reaches into the buckle hand groove 171, the contact area between the finger and the buckle arm 1713 is small, which is not conducive to the finger applying force to the buckle arm 1713. At the same time, it is not convenient for the back of the hand to lean against the inside of the buckle hand groove 171, resulting in a decrease in the user's comfort. If the ratio of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is greater than 0.9, the depth of the user's hand reaching into the buckle hand groove 171 is relatively shallow, which will also affect the finger's force application. Therefore, the range of the ratio of the width W of the buckle arm 1713 to the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is selected to be 0.5 to 0.9.

[0097] In this embodiment, when the user's hand reaches into the buckle hand groove 171, the outer door 110 of the dishwasher is opened by applying force to the buckle arm 1713 with the finger. To ensure that the depth of the user's hand reaching into the buckle hand groove 171 is appropriate for the user's finger to apply force to the buckle arm 1713, the ratio of the depth W of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 can be 0.2 to 0.5. If the ratio of the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 is less than 0.2, the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is too large relative to the height H, and the length of the finger bending is too short, which is not convenient for the finger to apply force; if the ratio of the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 is greater than 0.5, the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 is too small relative to the height H, and the depth of the palm falling into the buckle hand groove 171 is too shallow, affecting the palm's force application. Therefore, the range of the ratio of the depth D of the buckle hand groove 171 to the height H of the buckle hand groove 171 is selected to be 0.2 to 0.5.

[0098] Please refer to Figures 11 to 19 , in the above embodiments, in order to improve the overall consistency of the outer door 110 and avoid the appearance of an installation gap after the handle 170 is installed in the installation groove 121 of the outer door 110, a flanging 1714 can be provided on the edge of the opening of the buckle hand groove 171, and the flanging 1714 abuts against the edge of the installation opening 122. In this way, after the handle is installed into the installation groove 121 of the outer door 110 from the installation opening 122, the flanging 1714 abuts against the edge of the installation opening 122 of the installation groove 121, covering the installation gap, making the outer door 110 of the dishwasher door body assembly 100 a seamless structure, thereby improving the texture of the dishwasher door body assembly 100.

[0099] Among them, there are many connection methods between the handle 170 and the outer door 110. For example, the handle 170 is adhesively bonded to the outer door 110. By using structural adhesive to bond the handle 170 to the outer door 110, the connection between the handle 170 and the outer door 110 becomes more reliable. At the same time, the process of driving screws is saved, the assembly process is simplified, and the assembly efficiency is improved. Of course, the handle 170 and the outer door 110 can also be connected by screws or snap connections, etc. Here, no specific limitation is made.

[0100] Considering that the outer door 110 includes a door frame 120 and a glass panel 150, the glass panel 150 is installed on the door frame 120. The installation groove 121 is specifically arranged on the door frame 120, and a notch groove for avoiding the handle 170 is provided on the glass panel 150. In one embodiment, the door frame 120 is formed by splicing four profile frames 130. The four profile frames 130 include two first profile frames 130 arranged oppositely and two second profile frames 130 arranged oppositely. The first profile frames 130 extend in the horizontal direction (such as the upper profile frame 130 and the lower profile frame 130), and the second profile frames 130 extend in the vertical direction (such as the left profile frame 130 and the right profile frame 130). Optionally, the installation opening 122 is arranged on the upper profile frame 130, and a notch groove is arranged at the upper end of the glass panel 150. In this way, the grooving of the glass panel 150 becomes simpler and easier. At the same time, it is also beneficial to improve the overall structural consistency of the outer door 110.

[0101] The above are only the optional embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the patent scope of the present invention accordingly. All equivalent structural transformations made under the inventive concept of the present invention by using the content of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly / indirectly applied in other related technical fields are included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
