[0042] According to the dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the dispensing assembly 20 is arranged at the upper part of the dishwasher 100. The position of the dispensing assembly 20 is relatively high, and the user can add consumables to the dispensing assembly 20 without bending over. At the same time, compared with arranging the dispensing assembly 20 at the front or side of the dishwasher 100, it will be more convenient to add consumables to the dispensing assembly 20.

[0043] In addition, in the present application, the delivery assembly 20 is arranged on the outside of the washing chamber 101, thereby avoiding the influence of the high temperature and high humidity environment inside the washing chamber 101 on the consumables stored in the delivery assembly 20 (for example, the high temperature and high humidity environment makes the washing consumables easy to deteriorate and cause the cleaning power to decrease, etc.). Placing the delivery assembly 20 on the outside of the washing chamber 101 can improve the storage environment of the detergent, which provides a prerequisite for adding a sufficient amount of detergent at one time and storing it for a long time to achieve multiple delivery.

[0044] It should also be noted that, compared to the dishwasher 100 in which the dispensing assembly 20 is disposed on the door body 50, the dispensing assembly 20 in the present invention is disposed on the upper part of the dishwasher 100, which can avoid the formation of a bulge on the door body 50, which affects the use of the bowl basket of the dishwasher 100. In addition, the consumables in the present invention can be liquid consumables, powdered consumables, etc., and the consumable box 28 is a container in which the consumables are disposed.

[0045] Among them, the delivery assembly 20 in the present invention can be set as an automatic delivery device, for example, by setting a pumping component 27 and a consumable box 28, the consumables in the consumable box 28 are pumped out by the pumping component 27, so that the automatic delivery of the consumables can be achieved, and the delivery amount of the consumables can be controlled by the pumping component 27, so that the consumables can be added once and delivered multiple times; in addition, the delivery assembly 20 can also be set as a manual delivery device, for example, a manual delivery cavity is set to facilitate the user to manually add consumables to the delivery cavity, and the manually delivered consumables are dissolved and delivered to the dishwasher 100 by water flowing through the manual delivery cavity. Of course, the delivery assembly 20 in the present invention can also be set in other forms, for example, the delivery assembly 20 is set to have a manual delivery structure and an automatic delivery structure.

[0046] It should also be noted that the delivery assembly 20 in the present invention can store a certain amount of consumables and deliver them in multiple times; it can also be set so that the user can deliver them one by one for use.

[0047] In the present invention, the delivery assembly 20 can be configured to deliver consumables directly into the washing chamber 101, that is, the consumables in the delivery assembly 20 are directly delivered to the washing chamber 101; or the water flow can be introduced into the delivery assembly 20 through the water channel 40 system, and the fluid containing the consumables is introduced from the delivery assembly 20 into the washing chamber 101 to achieve delivery of the consumables. Fig.15The dishwasher 100 of the present invention may further include a water channel 40, which may be disposed on the machine body 10 and respectively connected to the washing chamber 101 and the delivery assembly 20.
