Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of dishwashers, and in particular relates to a sealing gasket and a dishwasher base assembly having the sealing gasket. Background Art

[0002] Dishwashers are specialized appliances designed to automatically clean tableware, including bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, forks, cups, spoons, and chopsticks. They offer the advantages of time-saving, labor-saving, and hygienic cleaning. They reduce workload, improve efficiency, and enhance cleanliness for cooks in restaurants, hotels, and government canteens. A variety of small dishwashers are now available. With the accelerated pace of modern life and the continuous improvement of family living standards, dishwashers are gradually becoming commonplace in ordinary households.

[0003] Dishwashers can be divided into the following types:

[0004] 1. Floor-standing dishwasher: It should be installed and used in a fixed manner and can be placed independently in an empty space in the kitchen.

[0005] 2. Portable dishwasher: No fixed installation is required. When using, just connect the water inlet pipe to the faucet and plug the power cord into the power socket to work. It has the characteristic of flexible placement.

[0006] 3. Convertible dishwasher: It is a front-loading lightweight dishwasher that can be placed in different positions at will. The casters can also be removed and installed in a cabinet for use.

[0007] 4. Top-loading dishwashers: Bowls and dishes are loaded and unloaded from the top. When using the dishwasher, the upper rack should be fully or partially removed. The upper rack of modern dishwashers is connected to the lid and can be folded back or to the sides, making it easier to load and unload dishes.

[0008] 5. Front-loading dishwasher: The door is on the front of the dishwasher and opens downward. When the door is opened, the dish rack is pulled out along with it. Be careful to maintain balance when using it to prevent the rack from tipping over.

[0009] 6. Jet-type dishwashers: A pump pumps water up the dish and sprays it out through the many holes on the spray arms. The spray arms rotate under the reaction force of the water, constantly changing the direction of the water spray, thus achieving the goal of jet cleaning all dishes and cutlery.

[0010] 7. Impeller dishwasher: It uses an impeller installed at the bottom of the machine and driven by an electric motor to splash water in all directions, producing a washing effect on the dishes.

[0011] 8. Sink-type dishwasher: A sink is installed on the top of the machine for preliminary rinsing of dishes. It must be connected to a fixed water supply, drainage and power supply.

[0012] 9. Built-in dishwasher: installed in a cabinet to save space, requires permanent connection to the cold water pipe, hot water pipe, drain pipe and power supply; once installed, it will not be moved.

[0013] In existing dishwashers, the dishwasher has water pipes for water inlet and outlet. The power board box is generally installed at the bottom of the dishwasher and is set near the water pipes. After the power board box and the dishwasher bottom steel plate are installed together with screws and clips, a gap will be left between them. Once the user uses the dishwasher or the dishwasher water system has an abnormality, it may cause the water pipe to leak. Water will enter the power board box through the gap between the power board box and the bottom steel plate, contact the electrical components, and cause the electrical components to be damaged due to moisture, and the dishwasher will not work properly.

[0014] In existing technologies, dishwasher power supply boxes and bottom steel plates are either directly in contact or sealed with O-rings, resulting in a lack of sealing or suboptimal sealing. Others incorporate waterproofing directly onto the power supply box, but this lacks optimal waterproofing and complicates the manufacturing process, increasing costs.

[0015] Chinese patent application number 201821141790.5 discloses an electric control box and a dishwasher. The dishwasher has a water pipe for water inlet and outlet. The electric control box is fixedly mounted on the dishwasher and disposed adjacent to the water pipe. The electric control box comprises: a bottom shell, the bottom shell comprising a bottom plate and a plurality of side walls protruding upward from the side walls of the bottom plate, the plurality of side walls enclosing an opening facing the bottom plate; an electric control assembly mounted on the bottom plate; a cover plate covering the opening of the bottom shell; and a waterproof structure extending toward the bottom plate on the side of the cover plate adjacent to the water pipe. This patent provides a waterproof structure extending toward the bottom plate on the side of the cover plate adjacent to the water pipe. Due to the waterproof structure, water does not come into contact with the electric control assembly. However, in order for the waterproof structure to function, it is also necessary to provide a slot, a protrusion, a notch, a water-retaining rib, and several reinforcing ribs. This makes the electric control box complicated in actual production and increases costs.

[0016] In view of this, the present invention is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0017] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a sealing gasket with diversified shapes that can achieve sealing of various structures.

[0018] In order to solve the above technical problems, the basic concept of the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a sealing gasket, comprising a sealing gasket body with an extended length, and the sealing gasket body is provided with a first sealing part and a second sealing part that at least partially protrude from the upper surface of the sealing gasket body along the extension direction of the sealing gasket body.

[0019] The first sealing portion is disposed on one side in the width direction of the gasket body.

[0020] The second sealing portion is disposed on the other side of the sealing gasket body in the width direction and forms an angle θ with the upper surface of the sealing gasket body, satisfying 90°<θ≤180°.

[0021] Furthermore, a support portion is provided on the sealing gasket body. The support portion is provided at the junction of the sealing gasket body and the second sealing portion and protrudes from the upper surface of the sealing gasket body along the extension direction of the sealing gasket body.

[0022] Preferably, the first sealing portion, the second sealing portion and the supporting portion are all elastic.

[0023] The first sealing portion, the second sealing portion and the supporting portion are all elastic, so that they can be deformed to increase the sealing performance while not being easily damaged.

[0024] Furthermore, a side surface of the supporting portion corresponding to the second sealing portion has an angle with the second sealing portion that is less than or equal to 90°.

[0025] Furthermore, at least one second protrusion is protruding from the upper surface of the second sealing portion, and the second protrusion is inclined toward the first sealing portion.

[0026] Furthermore, the first sealing portion is provided with a plurality of first protrusions protruding toward the outer periphery of the first sealing portion, which have the function of improving sealing performance and preventing falling off.

[0027] A dishwasher base assembly comprises a bottom steel plate on the base and a power board box installed above the bottom steel plate, wherein the sealing gasket as described above is arranged between the bottom steel plate and the power board box.

[0028] Furthermore, the bottom of the power board box is provided with a first concave groove and a second concave groove.

[0029] The bottom steel plate has a plane and an upward inclined surface, the end of the inclined surface contacts the upper concave surface of the second groove, and the inclined surface and the plane have an angle greater than 90°.

[0030] The first groove is assembled correspondingly to the first sealing portion to form a seal between the sealing gasket and the power board box.

The inclined surface of the bottom steel plate squeezes the second sealing portion to cause deformation. The second sealing portion contacts and presses the convex portion, providing a support force for the second sealing portion to reverse deformation, thereby forming a seal between the sealing gasket and the bottom steel plate.

[0033] The second sealing portion and the upper surface of the sealing gasket body have an included angle of 90°<θ≤180°, which can better cooperate with the inclined surface of the bottom steel plate to improve the sealing performance.

[0034] Preferably, the second sealing portion is at a certain distance from the lower surface of the sealing gasket body, which facilitates the deformation of the second sealing portion when assembled with the inclined surface of the bottom steel plate, thereby further improving the sealing performance.

[0035] Furthermore, a support portion is provided on the sealing gasket body. The support portion is provided at the junction of the sealing gasket body and the second sealing portion and protrudes from the upper surface of the sealing gasket body along the extension direction of the sealing gasket body.

[0037] The convex portion formed between the first groove and the second groove is assembled correspondingly to the groove between the first sealing portion and the support portion, and the second groove is assembled correspondingly to the support portion. The inclined surface of the bottom steel plate squeezes the second sealing portion to deform, and the second sealing portion contacts and presses the support portion, providing a support force for the second sealing portion to reverse the deformation, thereby forming a seal between the sealing gasket and the bottom steel plate.

[0038] The support portion and the second sealing portion have an included angle less than or equal to 90°, so that when the second sealing portion is squeezed and deformed, it contacts the support portion and provides a force to counter-deform the second sealing portion.

[0039] The convex portion formed between the first groove and the second groove is assembled correspondingly to the groove formed between the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion or the groove between the first sealing portion and the supporting portion, so as to accurately position the sealing gasket and facilitate installation.

[0040] Furthermore, at least one second protrusion is protruding from the upper surface of the second sealing portion, and the second protrusion is inclined toward the first sealing portion.

[0041] The convex portion formed between the first groove and the second groove is assembled correspondingly to the groove formed between the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion. The inclined surface of the bottom steel plate squeezes the second sealing portion to cause deformation. The second protrusion contacts and presses the convex portion, providing support force for the second sealing portion to reverse deformation, thereby forming a seal between the sealing gasket and the bottom steel plate.

[0042] Alternatively, the convex portion formed between the first groove and the second groove is assembled correspondingly to the groove between the first sealing portion and the support portion, the second groove is assembled correspondingly to the support portion, the inclined surface of the bottom steel plate squeezes the second sealing portion to deform, the second convex portion contacts and presses the support portion, providing a support force for the second sealing portion to reverse the deformation, thereby forming a seal between the sealing gasket and the bottom steel plate.

[0043] The second protrusion is tilted toward the first sealing portion so that when the second sealing portion is squeezed and deformed, the second protrusion can contact and press against the convex portion or the supporting portion to provide a supporting force for the second sealing portion to resist deformation.

[0044] Furthermore, the first sealing portion is provided with a plurality of first protrusions protruding toward the outer periphery of the first sealing portion.

[0045] The first groove is assembled correspondingly to the first sealing portion, and the inner wall of the first groove squeezes the first protrusion to deform, thereby forming a seal between the sealing gasket and the power board box.

[0046] The first protrusion is squeezed and deformed, so that the seal between the sealing gasket and the power board box is tightened, thereby improving the sealing performance.

[0047] By installing the sealing gasket in the gap between the power board box and the bottom steel plate of the dishwasher, using the first sealing part to form a seal between the sealing gasket and the power board box, and using the second sealing part or the second sealing part and the supporting part to form a seal between the sealing gasket and the bottom steel plate, the sealing gasket can seal the gap between the power board box and the bottom steel plate, preventing water from entering the power board box through the gap, damaging electrical components, and affecting the use of the dishwasher.

[0048] After adopting the above technical solution, the present invention has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:
