AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the door frame and control panel are independent structures, resulting in poor overall integrity and consistency of the door, and the embedded installation is complex, affecting aesthetics and manufacturing costs.

Method used

By combining the control panel with the frame to form a closed frame, the control panel becomes part of the frame, eliminating embedded installation and hiding the installation seam at the corner, thus optimizing the frame structure, improving integration, and reducing manufacturing complexity.

Benefits of technology

This solved the problem of poor overall integrity and consistency of the door, reduced the complexity and cost of the manufacturing process, and improved the user experience and practicality.

Abstract

This invention proposes a door assembly and a dishwasher. The door assembly includes a frame, which in turn includes a control panel and a frame that connects end-to-end with the control panel. The control panel and the frame together enclose a closed frame. The control panel, as defined in this application, is part of an extension structure of the frame; connecting the control panel and the frame completes the entire closed frame structure. By defining this structure, the technical solution of embedding the control panel into a closed door frame is eliminated, making the control panel an integral part of the closed frame. This reduces the obtrusiveness of the control panel on the frame and solves the technical problem of poor overall integrity and consistency of the door frame in related technologies.
