[0044] Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0045] The door assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0046] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the door assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a door 11, a hanging plate 12, and a control panel 100.

[0047] The mounting plate 12 is located on the outside of the door body 11. The mounting plate 12 is movable relative to the door body 11 along a first direction. The control panel 100 is installed on the door body 11 and is movablely engaged with the door body 11. The control panel 100 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12. When the mounting plate 12 moves relative to the door body 11, the control panel 100 can move along the first direction with the mounting plate 12. This allows for limiting the position of the control panel 100, ensuring that the position of the control panel 100 relative to the mounting plate 12 is fixed, and improving the convenience for users when operating the control panel 100.

[0048] Specifically, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, when the mounting plate 12 moves away from the door body 11 in the first direction (away from the bottom of the door body 11 and towards the top of the door body 11), the upper end of the mounting plate 12 gradually moves away from the door body 11. If the control panel 100 is fixed to the door body 11 and the control panel 100 and the door body 11 remain relatively stationary, the upper end of the mounting plate 12 will also gradually move away from the control panel 100. The distance between the upper end of the mounting plate 12 and the control panel 100 may be too large. When the user needs to operate the control panel 100, the upper end of the mounting plate 12 will obstruct the user's hand and affect the user's operation of the control panel 100.

[0049] Therefore, by fixing the control panel 100 to the mounting plate 12 and movably cooperating with the door body 11, that is, when the mounting plate 12 moves in the first direction, it can drive the control panel 100 to move in the first direction and cooperate with the door body 11. This ensures that the upper end of the mounting plate 12 always maintains a relatively stationary position relative to the control panel 100, avoiding obstruction of the user's hands when operating the control panel 100, and facilitating the user's operation of the control panel 100.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figures 3-4 As shown, the hanging plate 12 is installed on the front side of the door 11 (front-to-back direction as shown). Figure 1 As shown, the control panel 100 is located above the door 11. Users can open the door assembly 10 by pulling the front side of the hanging plate 12, thereby operating the control panel 100.

[0051] When the user pulls the door assembly 10 to open it, the hanging plate 12 can move along the height direction of the door body 11 (that is...). Figure 1 The up and down directions shown Figure 3As mentioned above, when the door 11 rotates, the height direction will also deflect accordingly. That is, when the door assembly 10 is pulled open, the angle formed by the first direction and the vertical direction will change as the door assembly 10 opens. In other words, at this time, the hanging plate 12 will move in a direction that is approximately parallel to the outer surface of the door 11 and away from the bottom of the door 11. Conversely, when the door assembly 10 is pushed to close, the hanging plate 12 will move in a direction that is approximately parallel to the outer surface of the door 11 and toward the bottom of the door 11 to reset. At this time, the upper end of the hanging plate 12 will move upward. By fixing the control panel 100 to the hanging plate 12, the hanging plate 12 can drive the control panel 100 to move together along the first direction to keep the upper end of the hanging plate 12 in a relatively static position relative to the control panel 100, so that the upper end of the hanging plate 12 does not extend too far beyond the control panel 100. This way, when the user operates the control panel 100, the upper surface of the mounting plate 12 will not obstruct the user's hands, which helps to improve the convenience and comfort of the user.

[0052] Therefore, the door assembly 10 according to the embodiments of the present invention has advantages such as ensuring that the position of the control panel 100 is suitable for user use and improving the convenience and comfort of user operation.

[0053] The door assembly 10 according to a specific embodiment of the present invention is described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0054] like Figures 1-12 As shown, the door assembly 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a door 11, a hanging plate 12, and a control panel 100.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the door body 11 includes a door body 400 and a mounting base 200. The mounting base 200 is connected to the door body 400. The hanging plate 12 is disposed on the outside of the door body 400 and the outside of the mounting base 200. The control panel 100 is mounted on the mounting base 200. When the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, the hanging plate 12 can drive the control panel 100 to move relative to the mounting base 200 along the first direction.

[0056] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the door body 400 includes an inner door 410 and an outer door 420. The inner door 410 is disposed inside the outer door 420 and the two are connected and fixed to each other. The mounting base 200 can be connected to the inner door 410 so that the position of the mounting base 200 is defined by the inner door 410, and the mounting base 200 is stably installed on the door assembly 10. Alternatively, the mounting base 200 can be connected to the outer door 420 alone, or connected to both the outer door 420 and the inner door 410 at the same time.

[0057] Specifically, the inner door 410 and the outer door 420 can be fixed together or formed as a single piece, such as... Figure 4As shown, the outer door 420 is located on one side of the inner door 410 and is located near the hanging plate 12. The mounting base 200 is located on the outside of the inner door 410. The side wall of the mounting base 200 contacts and engages with the side wall of the inner door 410 to fix the mounting base 200 and the inner door 410 together.

[0058] In other embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the mounting base 200 is located at the upper end of the outer door 420, and the lower end of the mounting base 200 contacts and engages with the upper end of the outer door 420 to fix the mounting base 200 and the outer door 420 together.

[0059] Of course, the mounting base 200 can also be connected to the outer door 420, and can also be connected to the inner door 410 and the outer door 420 to ensure the installation stability and reliability of the mounting base 200 on the door body 400.

[0060] The mounting base 200 is connected to the door body 400. That is, the mounting base 200 is a separate component relative to the door body 400 and is connected to the door body 400 by fasteners. In this way, when the control panel 100 needs to be replaced, only the corresponding mounting base 200 needs to be replaced, instead of replacing the entire door body 400, thereby reducing costs.

[0061] In some embodiments of the present invention, the front side of the control panel 100 has a pin hole 161, through which a pin passes to fix the control panel 100 to the mounting plate 12, so that when the mounting plate 12 moves in the first direction, the control panel 100 can be moved in the first direction.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the door body 11 is provided with a pivot portion 13 at one end in the first direction, and the end face of the hanging plate 12 away from the pivot portion 13 in the first direction is flush with or adjacent to the control panel 100, so as to avoid the hanging plate 12 blocking the user's hand and make it convenient for the user to operate the control panel 100 from this end of the hanging plate 12.

[0063] In some embodiments, the lower end of the door body 11 is provided with a pivot portion 13, and the door body 11 can rotate around the pivot portion 13. When the door body 11 rotates, the first direction changes with the rotation of the door body 11.

[0064] like Figure 1 As shown, the door assembly 10 is in the closed position at this time. When the height of the door 11 extends in the vertical direction, the first direction extends in the vertical direction. When the door 11 rotates to the position shown... Figure 3 When the door is in the open position as shown, the height of the door 11 extends at an angle relative to the vertical direction, and the first direction extends at an angle relative to the vertical direction.

[0065] Specifically, when the door assembly 10 rotates around the pivot 13 from... Figure 1 Rotate counterclockwise to the indicated position Figure 3 When the position is shown, the height direction of the door 11 will rotate synchronously by a certain angle. Taking a dishwasher as an example, when the user operates the door 11 to rotate counterclockwise, the hanging plate 12 moves away from the pivot 13 along the first direction. When the user operates the door 11 to rotate clockwise, the hanging plate 12 moves closer to the pivot 13 along the first direction.

[0066] In some embodiments, the control panel 100 is disposed between the inner door 410 and the hanging plate 12, and the control panel 100 is positioned above the mounting base 200.

[0067] The height of the hanging plate 12 in the vertical direction is greater than that of the inner door 410 in the vertical direction. The door body 11 can rotate around the pivot 13. When the door body 11 rotates in the forward direction to open, the upper end of the hanging plate 12 can move away from the mounting base 200 in the first direction, so that the lower end of the hanging plate 12 moves upward relative to the lower end of the inner door 410, so as to avoid the lower end of the hanging plate 12 colliding with other structures during rotation and affecting the rotation of the door body 11.

[0068] Furthermore, since the control panel 100 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 12, when the upper end of the mounting plate 12 moves away from the mounting base 200 along the first direction, the mounting plate 12 can drive the control panel 100 to move together along the first direction, so as to avoid the upper end of the mounting plate 12 extending too far beyond the control panel 100, and to prevent the user's hand from being blocked by the upper end of the mounting plate 12 when operating the control panel 100.

[0069] When the door assembly 10 is rotated in the reverse direction to close, the upper end of the mounting plate 12 can move towards the mounting base 200 along the first direction. At this time, the lower end of the mounting plate 12 moves downward relative to the lower end of the door 11, and drives the control panel 100 to move towards the mounting base 200 along the first direction, so as to keep the position of the control panel 100 relative to the upper surface of the mounting plate 12 fixed, and prevent the upper surface of the control panel 100 from exceeding the upper end of the mounting plate 12, thus affecting the protective function of the mounting plate 12 on the control panel 100.

[0070] Specifically, by fixing the control panel 100 to the mounting plate 12, the mounting plate 12 can move the control panel 100 in the first direction while moving in the first direction. This ensures that the upper end face of the mounting plate 12 is flush with or close to the upper end face of the control panel 100. This facilitates the user's operation of the control panel 100 and also protects the control panel 100 from scratches caused by other external objects.

[0071] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control panel 100 has a slide rail 120 extending along a first direction, and the door body 11 has a mating hole 210. The mating hole 210 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 120, so that the control panel 100 can slide relative to the door body 11 along the first direction, thereby ensuring that when the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, the hanging plate 12 can smoothly drive the control panel 100 to slide along the first direction. The length of the slide rail 120 limits the range of movement of the control panel 100 along the first direction. Therefore, the length of the slide rail 120 should be adapted to match the distance the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, so as to ensure that when the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, the hanging plate 12 can smoothly drive the control panel 100 to slide along the first direction.

[0072] In some implementation examples, the control panel 100 and the slide rail 120 are fixed together by screws so that when the mounting plate 12 drives the control panel 100 to move in the first direction, the control panel 100 can move relative to the mounting base 200 in the first direction.

[0073] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the slide rail 120 is provided with a limiting groove 121 extending along a first direction, and a limiting rib 220 is provided in the sliding direction of the slide rail 120. The limiting rib 220 cooperates with the limiting groove 121 to restrict the sliding direction of the slide rail 120 and ensure that the slide rail 120 can slide smoothly along the first direction.

[0074] In some embodiments, such as Figures 6-8 As shown, the control panel 100 is positioned above the mounting base 200. The lower end of the control panel 100 is provided with a slide rail 120, and the slide rail 120 is provided with a limiting groove 121. The length direction of the limiting groove 121 extends along the first direction. The upper end of the mounting base 200 is provided with a mating hole 210, and a limiting rib 220 is provided below the mating hole 210. The length direction of the limiting rib 220 extends along the first direction.

[0075] The control panel 100 is connected to the mounting base 200 via a slide rail 120. Specifically, the limiting groove 121 on the slide rail 120 is slidably engaged with the limiting rib 220 on the mounting base 200. The limiting rib 220 can further restrict the sliding direction of the slide rail 120, allowing the slide rail 120 to slide along a first direction, so that the control panel 100 can slide relative to the mounting base 200 along the first direction.

[0076] In other embodiments of the present invention, the control panel 100 has a mating hole 210, and the door body 11 has a slide rail 120 extending along a first direction. The mating hole 210 and the slide rail 120 are slidably engaged, so that the control panel 100 can slide relative to the door body 11 along the first direction, thereby ensuring that when the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, the hanging plate 12 can smoothly drive the control panel 100 to slide along the first direction. The length of the slide rail 120 limits the range of movement of the control panel 100 along the first direction. Therefore, the length of the slide rail 120 should be adapted to match the distance the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, so as to ensure that when the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, the hanging plate 12 can smoothly drive the control panel 100 to slide along the first direction.

[0077] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the slide rail 120 is provided with a limiting groove 121 extending along a first direction, and the control panel 100 has a limiting rib 220. The limiting rib 220 cooperates with the limiting groove 121 to restrict the sliding direction of the slide rail 120 and ensure that the slide rail 120 can slide smoothly along the first direction.

[0078] In some embodiments, the control panel 100 is positioned above the mounting base 200. The lower end of the control panel 100 is provided with a mating hole 210, and a limiting rib 220 is provided above the mating hole 210. The length direction of the limiting rib 220 extends along a first direction. The upper end of the mounting base 200 is provided with a slide rail 120, and the slide rail 120 is provided with a limiting groove 121. The length direction of the limiting groove 121 extends along the first direction.

[0079] The mounting base 200 is connected to the control panel 100 via a slide rail 120. Specifically, the limiting rib 220 on the control panel 100 is slidably engaged with the limiting groove 121 of the slide rail 120 on the mounting base 200, so that the limiting rib 220 can slide in the limiting groove 121 along the first direction, thereby enabling the control panel 100 to slide relative to the mounting base 200 along the first direction.

[0080] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the slide rail 120 includes a plurality of slide rails 120, which are arranged at intervals along the second direction. By providing a plurality of slide rails 120, it is easy to ensure that the control panel 100 slides stably and smoothly.

[0081] The first direction extends along the height direction of the door assembly 10, and the second direction extends along the width direction of the door assembly 10. In some embodiments, the height direction of the door assembly 10 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the vertical direction, the width direction of the door assembly 10 is as follows: Figure 2As shown in the left and right directions (it should be understood that the above direction limitation is only for the convenience of describing the attached drawings and does not limit the actual setting position and direction of the door assembly 10), multiple slide rails 120 are spaced apart along the width direction of the door assembly 10, so that the mounting base 200 and the control panel 100 can stably cooperate with each other in the left and right directions through the slide rails 120, and so as to ensure that the control panel 100 slides smoothly along the first direction.

[0082] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the mating holes 210 include a plurality of holes, which are arranged at intervals along the second direction. By providing a plurality of mating holes 210, the plurality of mating holes 210 are matched one-to-one with the plurality of slide rails 120, which facilitates the stable and smooth sliding of the control panel 100.

[0083] The first direction extends along the height direction of the door assembly 10, and the second direction extends along the width direction of the door assembly 10. In some embodiments, the height direction of the door assembly 10 is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in the vertical direction, the width direction of the door assembly 10 is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the left and right directions, multiple mating holes 210 are spaced apart along the width direction of the door assembly 10, which facilitates the stable mutual mating of the mounting base 200 and the control panel 100 in the left and right directions, and ensures that the control panel 100 slides smoothly along the first direction.

[0084] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the control panel 100 is provided with insert plates 130 at both ends along the width direction of the door assembly 10. The insert plates 130 extend in a direction away from the control surface of the control panel 100. The door body 11 is provided with slots 230 at both ends along the width direction of the door assembly 10. The slots 230 are inserted and engaged with the insert plates 130. When the control panel 100 moves along the first direction, the insert plates 130 can move along the first direction within the slots 230, thus avoiding gaps at the connection between the door body 11 and the control panel 100, which would affect the aesthetics of the installation of the door body 11 and the control panel 100.

[0085] Specifically, the length of the insert plate 130 extends along the first direction, and the length of the slot 230 also extends along the first direction. The control panel 100 and the door 11 are connected by the insert plate 130 and the slot 230, so that when the mounting plate 12 moves the control panel 100 along the first direction, the insert plate 130 can move within the slot 230 along the first direction, thereby enabling the control panel 100 to move relative to the door 11 along the first direction.

[0086] In other words, the control panel 100 and the door 11 are connected via the insert plate 130 and the slot 230, allowing the control panel 100 to move smoothly along the first direction without affecting the interaction between the two. Furthermore, the connection between the slot 230 and the insert plate 130 makes the connection between the control panel 100 and the door 11 more aesthetically pleasing. Specifically, when the control panel 100 moves along the first direction, the connection between the slot 230 and the insert plate 130 prevents gaps from forming at the connection point. In fact, the interaction between the slot 230 and the insert plate 130 also functions similarly to that of the slide rail 120 and the mating hole 210.

[0087] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first direction extends along the height direction of the door assembly 10, and the length direction of the control panel 100 extends along the width direction of the door assembly 10, so as to make the space allocation in the door assembly 10 more reasonable.

[0088] Specifically, the length of the hanging plate 12 and the inner door 410 extends along the first direction, and the width extends along the second direction. The control panel 100 and the mounting base 200 are located between the inner door 410 and the hanging plate 12. Therefore, the length of the control panel 100 is designed to extend along the second direction, so as to make reasonable placement of the control panel 100 and the mounting base 200 between the inner door 410 and the hanging plate 12, so as to make reasonable use of the space of the door assembly 10.

[0089] In some embodiments of the present invention, the control panel 100 is provided with a circuit board 300, the circuit board 300 is provided with a first connecting line 310, and the door body 11 is provided with a second connecting line 240. The second connecting line 240 is detachably electrically connected to the first connecting line 310 of the circuit board 300 so as to connect a power source through the second connecting line 240 to supply power and control the circuit board 300, so that the circuit board 300 can operate stably. Taking a dishwasher as an example, the second connecting line 240 can be connected to the electronic control module of the base of the dishwasher.

[0090] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the second connecting line 240 is fixed to the mounting base 200 of the door body 11, so that the mounting base 200 limits the position of the second connecting line 240 and further limits the position of the first connecting line 310, so as to ensure that the power supply can stably supply power to the circuit board 300 through the first connecting line 310 and the second connecting line 240. Generally, LED beads, touch components or buttons can be set on the circuit board.

[0091] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the mounting base 200 includes a side plate 250, a top plate 260 and a bottom plate 270. The top plate 260 and the bottom plate 270 are respectively connected to the upper and lower ends of the side plate 250 to form a receiving cavity 202 with a rear opening 201. The receiving cavity 202 can be used to accommodate other components such as the first connecting line 310 and the second connecting line 240.

[0092] The second connecting wire 240 is fixed to the base plate 270. For example, the second connecting wire 240 can be fixed to the base plate 270 by a snap-fit ​​structure, thus fixing the position of the second connecting wire 240 and facilitating the connection of the second connecting wire 240 to the power supply from the base plate 270. The top plate 260 has a wire hole 261 suitable for the first connecting wire 310 to pass through, so as to guide the line path of the first connecting wire 310 and prevent the first connecting wire 310 from getting tangled in the receiving cavity 202.

[0093] In some embodiments, such as Figure 7 As shown, the control panel 100 includes a cover plate 140, an upper plate 150 and two insert plates 130. The two insert plates 130 are disposed at both ends of the upper plate 150 in the length direction, and the cover plate 140 is located on the rear side of the upper plate 150. Both the insert plates 130 and the cover plate 140 extend along a first direction.

[0094] The insert plate 130 is inserted into the slot 230 on the mounting base 200, allowing the control panel 100 to move relative to the mounting plate 110 along a first direction. At this time, the cover plate 140 can also move along the first direction to open and close the rear opening 201 of the receiving cavity 202. This allows the rear opening 201 to be closed to protect the components inside the receiving cavity 202, and also allows the rear opening 201 to be opened, facilitating the user to organize, repair, and replace the first connecting wire 310 and the second connecting wire 240 within the receiving cavity 202.

[0095] In some embodiments, a flap 160 is provided on the front side of the upper plate 150. The shape of the flap 160 is adapted to match the shape of the side plate 250 of the mounting base 200. The flap 160 is provided with a plurality of pin holes 161, which are spaced apart along the length direction of the control panel 100. The pins cooperate with the pin holes 161 to fix the flap 160 to the hanging plate 12, thereby fixing the control panel 100 to the hanging plate 12, so that when the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, it drives the control panel 100 to move together along the first direction.

[0096] When the insert plate 130 is fully inserted into the slot 230, as Figure 6As shown, the flap 160 mates with the side plate 250 to make the front surfaces of the control panel 100 and the mounting plate 110 relatively flat, at which point the cover plate 140 closes the rear opening 201 of the receiving cavity 202. When the insert plate 130 moves upward a certain distance within the slot 230, as... Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, at this time, the cover plate 140 opens the rear opening 201 of the receiving cavity 202.

[0097] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the control panel 100 is provided with two spaced mounting members 101, and the two ends of the circuit board 300 are respectively connected to the two mounting members 101 to fix the circuit board 300 on the control panel 100, ensuring the installation reliability of the circuit board 300, and making it easy to install, remove and maintain.

[0098] The control panel 100 is movably coupled to the door 11 via the mounting piece 101, so that when the hanging plate 12 moves the control panel 100 along the first direction, the circuit board 300 can move along the first direction with the control panel 100, so as to ensure that the relative position of the circuit board 300 and the control panel 100 is fixed.

[0099] In some embodiments, the mounting component 101 includes a slide rail 120 extending along a first direction, and the door body 11 is slidably engaged with the slide rail 120 so that the control panel 100 can slide relative to the door body 11 along the first direction, so as to ensure that when the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction, the hanging plate 12 can smoothly drive the control panel 100 to slide along the first direction.

[0100] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 As shown, the mounting component 101 includes a mounting plate 110 and a slide rail 120. The slide rail 120 extends along a first direction. The mounting plate 110 is connected to one end of the slide rail 120. The outer surface of the slide rail 120 has a limiting groove 121 extending along the first direction. The mounting base 200 has a mating hole 210 that slides with the slide rail 120. The mounting base 200 also has a limiting rib 220 that mates with the limiting groove 121. The limiting rib 220 is located below the mating hole 210.

[0101] Mounting plate 110 connects and fixes control panel 100 and circuit board 300, allowing circuit board 300 to move along control panel 100 in a first direction. Slide rail 120 passes through mating hole 210 and slides with mounting base 200, and limiting groove 121 on slide rail 120 can cooperate with limiting rib 220 on mounting base 200, allowing slide rail 120 to slide along the first direction, so that when mounting plate 12 moves along the first direction, mounting plate 12 can drive control panel 100 and circuit board 300 to slide together in the first direction.

[0102] Furthermore, in some examples, one end of the second connecting line 240 is connected to a power supply or electronic control module, and the other end of the second connecting line 240 is connected to one end of the first connecting line 310, the other end of the first connecting line 310 being connected to the circuit board 300. When the door assembly 10 rotates around the pivot 13, the hanging plate 12 moves along the first direction and drives the control panel 100 to slide along the first direction. Since the circuit board 300 is connected to the control panel 100 through the mounting member 101, the circuit board 300 can be driven to move along the first direction when the control panel 100 slides along the first direction.

[0103] One end of the first connecting line 310 is connected to the circuit board 300. When the circuit board moves along the circuit board 300 in the first direction, it can drive this end of the first connecting line 310 to move together in the first direction. The other end of the first connecting line 310 is connected to the second connecting line 240. Since the second connecting line 240 is fixed on the mounting base 200, the position of the second connecting line 240 is fixed, and the end of the first connecting line 310 connected to the second connecting line 240 is also fixed.

[0104] In other words, the length of the first connecting line 310 should be adapted to the range of movement of the circuit board 300, so as to ensure that the second connecting line 240 and the first connecting line 310 can supply power to the circuit board 300, while one end of the second connecting line 240 can move along the first direction with the circuit board 300.

[0105] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, such as Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, the mounting component 101 has a positioning post 111, and the circuit board 300 has a positioning hole 320. The positioning hole 320 cooperates with the positioning post 111 to fix the circuit board 300 on the control panel 100.

[0106] In some embodiments, the mounting component 101 includes a mounting plate 110 and a slide rail 120. The mounting plate 110 is disposed below the circuit board 300 and has positioning posts 111. The control panel 100 has mounting holes that engage with the positioning posts 111. During the process of fixing the circuit board 300 onto the control panel 100, the positioning posts 111 on the mounting plate 110 pass through the positioning holes 320 and engage with the mounting holes to fix the circuit board 300 onto the control panel 100.

[0107] In some other embodiments of the present invention, the circuit board 300 has a positioning post 111 and the mounting member 101 has a positioning hole 320, which cooperates with the positioning post 111 to fix the circuit board 300 on the control panel 100.

[0108] In some embodiments, the mounting component 101 includes a mounting plate 110 and a slide rail 120. The mounting plate 110 has positioning posts 111. The circuit board 300 is disposed below the mounting plate 110. The control panel 100 has mounting holes that engage with the positioning posts 111. During the process of fixing the circuit board 300 to the control panel 100, the positioning posts 111 on the circuit board 300 pass through the positioning holes 320 and engage with the mounting holes to fix the circuit board 300 to the control panel 100.

[0109] In some optional embodiments of the present invention, the side plate 250 is provided with a fixing hole 251, and the mounting base 200 is fixed to the inner door 410 by fasteners passing through the fixing hole 251, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the mounting base 200 and the inner door 410.

[0110] In some embodiments, such as Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the fixing hole 251 is provided inside the slot 230. In the control panel 100, the cover plate 140 and the insert plate 130 are spaced apart to form a clearance groove 170 between the cover plate 140 and the insert plate 130. One or more fixing holes 251 are provided on the left and right sides of the rear part of the side plate 250. Fasteners pass through the fixing holes 251 and cooperate with the inner door 410 to stably fix the mounting base 200 on the inner door 410.

[0111] When the control panel 100 moves along the first direction, the cover plate 140 also moves along the first direction. The clearance groove 170 is designed to allow the cover plate 140 to avoid the fasteners and fixing holes 251 in time when it moves along the first direction, so as to prevent the cover plate 140 from colliding with the fasteners and clearance holes when it moves.

[0112] The following describes an electrical appliance 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0113] The electrical appliance 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a door assembly 10 according to the above embodiment of the present invention.

[0114] According to the present invention, the electrical appliance 1, by utilizing the door assembly 10 of the above embodiment, has advantages such as ensuring that the position of the control panel 100 is suitable for user use and improving the convenience and comfort of user operation.

[0115] In some embodiments of the present invention, the electrical appliance also includes an electrical appliance body 20, which has an opening 21. A door 11 is rotatably disposed on the electrical appliance body 20 to open and close the opening 21, so that the user can operate the interior of the electrical appliance body 20 through the opening 21.

[0116] The door body 11 has a pivot portion 13, which is rotatably mounted on the electrical body 20 to open and close the opening 21. The hanging plate 12 is adapted to move relative to the door body 11 and toward a direction away from the pivot portion 13 during the process of opening the opening 21.

[0117] In some embodiments, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, appliance 1 can be a dishwasher. The lower end of the door 11 is connected to the appliance body 20 through a pivot 13. The user can pull the door 11 from the front of appliance 1 to make the door 11 rotate around the pivot 13 to open the opening 21, or push the door 11 in the opposite direction to make the door rotate around the pivot 13 to close the opening 21.

[0118] In some embodiments of the present invention, the hanging plate 12 is adapted to move relative to the door body 11 and toward the direction away from the pivot portion 13 during the process of opening the opening 21 of the door body 11, so that the door body 11 avoids the electrical appliance body 20 and prevents the door body 11 from scraping against the electrical appliance body 20, etc. Conversely, during the process of pushing the door body 11 to close the opening 21, the hanging plate 12 moves relative to the door body 11 toward the pivot portion 13, so that the hanging plate 12 and the control panel 100 move to the initial position along the first direction.

[0119] In some embodiments, when the user pulls down the door assembly 10 to rotate the door assembly 10 around the pivot 13, the lower end of the hanging plate 12 gradually rotates towards the electrical appliance body 20 during the downward rotation, which may collide with the electrical appliance body 20. Therefore, while the door assembly 10 is rotating, the lower end of the hanging plate 12 is gradually moved upward to avoid the electrical appliance body 20, so as to avoid scratching the electrical appliance body 20 and damaging the electrical appliance 1.
