[0053] A dishwasher in the related art is usually provided with a special detergent delivery system, through which detergent is stored and delivered to a washing chamber of the dishwasher body so as to wash dishes with the detergent.

[0054] However, most dispensing systems are fixedly installed on the inner door of the dishwasher, which makes it impossible for the user to thoroughly clean the liquid storage box of the dispensing system. Under long-term use, detergent is easily accumulated inside the liquid storage box or the dispensing pipeline, causing blockage, resulting in inaccurate detergent dispensing, thereby affecting the washing effect of the dishwasher.

[0055] See also Figure 1 An embodiment of the present application proposes a dishwasher 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the dishwasher 100 may include a body 10, a door body 30 and a dispensing device 50. The door body 30 is rotatably connected to the body 10, and the dispensing device 50 is installed at the lower front side of the body 10.

[0056] The machine body 10 may be in a square structure and formed with a washing cavity with an opening (not shown in the figure). It is understood that the washing cavity is used for placing tableware and is connected to the placing device 50. The machine body 10 may be made of metal so that the machine body 10 itself has higher strength and is more durable. The metal material has better thermal conductivity and heat transfer properties so that the machine body 10 has better effects in the heat exchange and condensation drying process. Of course, the machine body 10 may also be made of plastic so that the machine body 10 has the advantage of being lighter in weight, which is not limited in the present embodiment of the application.

[0057] The door body 30 may be in a square structure to match the cross-sectional shape of the washing chamber of the machine body 10, so that the washing chamber can be opened or closed by rotating the door body 30. The door body 30 may be made of glass, for example, tempered glass with good strength. In this way, the door body 30 has excellent impact and pressure resistance, and the user can also directly observe the situation in the washing chamber from the outside through the door body 30, providing the user with a good user experience. Of course, the door body 30 may also be made of metal so that the door body 30 itself has good strength, and this application does not limit this.

[0058] In order to achieve a thorough cleaning of the liquid storage box 521, the present application focuses on improving the delivery device 50. Figures 1 to 3 In the embodiment of the present application, the dispensing device 50 is used to store detergent and deliver the detergent to the washing chamber of the machine body 10 so as to wash the dishes with the detergent. The dispensing device 50 may include a skirting board 51 and a dispensing assembly 52. ​​The skirting board 51 is installed at the lower front side of the machine body 10. The dispensing assembly 52 is installed in the skirting board 51 and communicated with the washing chamber of the machine body 10 so as to store detergent and deliver the detergent to the washing chamber of the machine body 10.

[0059] The skirting board 51 may be in the shape of an elongated strip, and has an up-down direction, a front-back direction, and a left-right direction, wherein the up-down direction, the front-back direction, and the left-right direction are arranged at an angle to each other. The main structure of the skirting board 51 may be made of plastic material, such as PVC (Polyvinyl chloride), which has the advantages of being easy to clean and moisture-proof. Of course, the main structure of the skirting board 51 may also be made of metal material, such as aluminum alloy, which is not limited in the present embodiment of the application.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3In some structural forms, the skirting board 51 may include a board body 511 and a cover body 516, and the board body 511 is used as the main structure of the skirting board 51 to be installed at the lower front side of the machine body 10. A first installation cavity 5113 for installing at least part of the delivery assembly 52 is defined in the board body 511, and the board body 511 is at least open at the front side to form a disassembly opening 5111, and the disassembly opening 5111 is connected to the first installation cavity 5113. It can be understood that the opening size of the disassembly opening 5111 is equal to the opening size of the first installation cavity 5113, or the opening size of the disassembly opening 5111 is larger than the opening size of the first installation cavity 5113, and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. The cover body 516 may be movably connected to the board body 511 to cover or open the disassembly opening 5111. It should be noted that the specific forms in which the cover body 516 is movably connected to the board body 511 may include but are not limited to the cover body 516 rotating from top to bottom or from bottom to top compared with the board body 511 along the up and down directions of the skirting board 51, the cover body 516 rotating from left to right or from right to left compared with the board body 511 along the left and right directions of the skirting board 51, and the cover body 516 being pulled and pulled along the front and back directions of the skirting board 51. The embodiments of the present application do not impose any restrictions on this.

[0061] The dispensing component 52 may include a liquid storage box 521, which is rectangular and has a liquid storage cavity for storing detergent. The main structure of the liquid storage box 521 may be made of a transparent plastic material, such as PP (Polypropylene), PS (Polystyrene) or PC (Polycarbonate), etc., so that the user can directly observe the liquid storage in the liquid storage cavity from the outside to obtain the liquid volume information of the liquid storage box 521, which is more convenient and improves the user's experience. Of course, the main structure of the liquid storage box 521 may also be made of metal, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. The liquid storage box 521 can be detachably installed in the first installation cavity 5113. Specifically, the detachable installation form may include but is not limited to a snap connection, a threaded connection or a magnetic connection, etc. The embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. In this way, in actual use, the user can remove the liquid storage box 521 from the first installation cavity 5113, and then perform a series of operations such as adding detergent to the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage box 521 or cleaning the liquid storage cavity. After completion, the liquid storage box 521 can be installed in the first installation cavity 5113 again.

[0062] See also Figure 4In some structural forms, the liquid storage box 521 includes a box body 5211 and a support portion 5212. Specifically, the box body 5211 includes a box body and a box cover, the box body forms the above-mentioned liquid storage cavity and a liquid filling port connected to the liquid storage cavity, and the box cover can be movably connected to the box body to open or close the above-mentioned liquid filling port. Optionally, the liquid filling port is arranged on the upper surface of the box body, and one end of the box cover is rotatably connected to the box body. In this way, after the liquid storage box 521 is removed, liquid can be added to the box body 5211 through the liquid filling port by opening the box cover. The support portion 5212 is arranged on the bottom wall of the box body 5211, and is used to support the box body 5211 when the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113. Optionally, in one embodiment, the support portion 5212 includes a plurality of support ribs staggered at the bottom of the box body 5211, and the plurality of support ribs are used to abut the cavity bottom wall or the cavity bottom wall and the cavity side wall of the first installation cavity 5113 when the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113. Among them, the plurality of support ribs can be staggered horizontally and vertically or arranged in a mesh shape. The embodiment of the present application uses the form of support ribs as the support of the box body 5211, which is conducive to saving materials and reducing costs while ensuring support. Not only that, this also reduces the weight of the liquid storage box 521, which is more conducive to the movement of the liquid storage box 521. Of course, the support portion 5212 can also adopt other structural forms such as a plate structure or a block structure, and the present application does not limit this.

[0063] In order to facilitate the user to obtain the liquid volume information of the liquid storage box 521 during use, please continue to refer to Figure 4 The cover 516 is provided with an observation window 5164. When the cover 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, the observation window 5164 is arranged opposite to the liquid storage box 521 along the front-rear direction of the skirting board 51 (eg, Figure 1 ). In this way, even when the cover body 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, the user can directly observe the liquid storage situation in the liquid storage chamber through the observation window 5164 without opening the cover body 516, saving operation steps. In some structural forms, the observation window 5164 can be a through hole 5164a, which is convenient for processing the observation window 5164. For example, when the cover body 516 is made of plastic material, the mold for producing the cover body 516 can be designed accordingly during the injection molding process to directly form the through hole 5164a on the cover body 516. When the cover body 516 is made of other materials, such as metal material, the through hole 5164a can be processed on the cover body 516 by mechanical processing. Furthermore, a light-transmitting member is provided in the through hole 5164a. In this way, the light-transmitting member can improve the light penetration and transmission effect, so that the user will see more clearly when observing from the observation window 5164, so as to further improve the user's experience.

[0064] In summary, when the cover 516 opens the disassembly opening 5111, the liquid storage box 521 can be disassembled through the disassembly opening 5111, so that the dispensing device 50 of this embodiment has the following three effects:

[0065] First, in terms of the convenience of operation, compared with the solution in which the dispensing assembly 52 is fixedly installed on the inner door of the door body 30, in the solution of this embodiment, the user does not need to open the door body 30, which is large in size and heavy in weight, when dispensing detergent. The user can dispense detergent at the position of the skirting board 51, which is convenient to operate. Moreover, in the actual operation process, when it is necessary to disassemble the liquid storage box 521 to dispense detergent or clean the liquid storage box 521, the user does not need to disassemble the entire skirting board 51, but only needs to operate the cover body 516 to open the disassembly opening 5111, which is more convenient to operate.

[0066] Second, in terms of cleaning effect, the liquid storage box 521 can be disassembled and assembled through the disassembly and assembly port 5111. In this way, during long-term use, the liquid storage box 521 can be conveniently taken out from the first installation cavity 5113 regularly to thoroughly clean the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage box 521, thereby avoiding the accumulation of detergent in the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage box 521 and other places to cause blockage, thereby avoiding the occurrence of inaccurate detergent dosage to ensure the washing effect of the dishwasher 100.

[0067] Third, in terms of the compactness of the overall structure, the dispensing assembly 52 can be accommodated and installed using the space of the board body 511 of the skirting board 51, so that the liquid storage box 521 does not need to occupy the space of the body 10 for installation, so that the body 10 can be designed to be more compact, so as to reduce the overall size of the dishwasher 100, so that the dishwasher 100 can be suitable for use in a compact space environment, thereby improving the applicability of the dishwasher 100.

[0068] Please refer to Figures 4 to 6In some embodiments, a mounting portion 5112 is formed on the board body 511, and in the front-to-back direction of the skirting board 51, the mounting portion 5112 has a front surface 5115 and a rear surface 5116 that are disposed opposite to each other, and the board body 511 has a first board surface 512 and a second board surface 513 that are disposed opposite to each other, wherein the front surface 5115 is sunken backwards to form a first mounting cavity 5113, and the mounting portion 5112 is open at least on the front side to form a disassembly port 5111. It can be understood that the first installation cavity 5113 and the disassembly port 5111 are constructed by the installation portion 5112, so that the disassembly port 5111 corresponds to the first installation cavity 5113, that is, the opening size of the disassembly port 5111 is equal to the cavity opening size of the first installation cavity 5113. Compared with the form in which the opening size of the disassembly port 5111 is larger than the cavity opening size of the first installation cavity 5113, the form of this embodiment can avoid the disassembly port 5111 formed by the board body 511 from being too large, thereby preventing the overall stiffness of the board body 511 from being too low, thereby avoiding the board body 511 from being deformed and damaged when the user's foot touches the skirting board 51, thereby ensuring the durability of the skirting board 51 of the embodiment of the present application.

[0069] In order to further improve the convenience of the user in disassembling and assembling the liquid storage box 521, please refer to Figure 5 In the up-down direction of the skirting board 51, the mounting portion 5112 is open at the upper side and the front side respectively to cooperate with the disassembly opening 5111. When the user takes out the liquid storage box 521 from the first mounting cavity 5113, the liquid storage box 521 is taken out generally from bottom to top and from back to front. If the top wall of the first mounting cavity 5113 interferes too much with the liquid storage box 521, the distance to move the liquid storage box 521 from back to front will be too long, which will cause inconvenience to the user. In the embodiment of the present application, the mounting portion 5112 is further opened on the upper side on the basis of being opened on the front side, so that the length of the cavity top wall of the first mounting cavity 5113 can be reduced, so as to reduce the interference between the cavity top wall of the first mounting cavity 5113 and the liquid storage box 521, thereby shortening the distance that the liquid storage box 521 moves from the back to the front. The user only needs to move the liquid storage box 521 from the back to the front by a small distance, and then the liquid storage box 521 can be taken out from the bottom to the top, which is convenient for the user to operate. In the installation process, such a setting can also shorten the distance that the liquid storage box 521 moves from the front to the back, so as to improve the convenience of installation. This embodiment will not be elaborated on this. In addition, when the mounting portion 5112 is still open on the upper side, the user can directly observe the liquid storage box 521 from the upper side of the mounting portion 5112, so as to know the specific location of the liquid storage box 521 and then perform a series of subsequent disassembly steps, which is more convenient.

[0070] For further information, see Figure 4The cover body 516 may include a cover plate 5161 and a side plate 5165. The cover plate 5161 includes a top plate 5162 and a front plate 5163. The side plates 5165 are connected to opposite sides of the cover plate 5161 and are connected to opposite sides of the front plate 5163. It can be understood that the observation window 5164 is formed on the front plate 5163. The cover body 516 includes a top plate 5162 and side plates 5165 connected to opposite sides of the top plate 5162. The top plate 5162 and the side plates 5165 are respectively sealed and connected to the mouth wall of the disassembly and assembly port 5111. In this way, foreign matter can be prevented from entering the first installation cavity 5113 from the connection between the mouth wall of the disassembly and assembly port 5111 and the top plate 5162, and from the connection between the mouth wall of the disassembly and assembly port 5111 and the side plates 5165.

[0071] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 In the front-to-back direction of the skirting board 51, the rear surface 5116 of the mounting portion 5112 protrudes backward from the second board surface 513. In this way, by setting the rear surface 5116 of the mounting portion 5112 to protrude backward, the volume of the first mounting cavity 5113 can be further expanded to adapt to the installation of the larger liquid storage box 521, so that the liquid storage box 521 can be installed at a deeper position in the first mounting cavity 5113, so as to avoid the liquid storage box 521 being placed in a too shallow position in the first mounting cavity 5113, which causes the cover body 516 to interfere with the liquid storage box 521 when it is moving, thereby improving the smoothness of the cover body 516 when it moves relative to the board body 511.

[0072] In some structural forms, please refer to Figures 5 and 6 The plate body 511 may include a base plate 514 and a skirt 515 arranged around the outer edge of the base plate 514. The mounting portion 5112 is formed on the base plate 514, and the base plate 514 has a first plate surface 512 and a second plate surface 513. The skirt 515 is configured to be connected to the body 10 of the dishwasher 100. For example, a buckle may be provided on the skirt 515, and a slot is provided on the body 10. The buckle cooperates with the slot to realize the snap connection of the skirt 515 to the body 10. Of course, the skirt 515 may also be connected to the body 10 by bonding or other methods. In this way, the base plate 514 is the main structure of the plate body 511, and the volume of the base plate 514 is larger than that of the skirt 515. Therefore, when the mounting portion 5112 is formed on the base plate 514, the larger volume of the base plate 514 itself can be used to obtain a larger first mounting cavity 5113 for the installation of the liquid storage box 521.

[0073] In order to make the overall structure of the dishwasher 100 more compact, please refer to Figure 3 to Figure 4In some embodiments, the second plate surface 513 is recessed in the direction toward the first plate surface 512 to form a second installation cavity 513a, and the second installation cavity 513a is spaced apart from the first installation cavity 5113 in the left-right direction of the skirting board 51. The delivery assembly 52 further includes a pump body 522, which is connected to the liquid storage box 521 and installed in the second installation cavity 513a.

[0074] It is also understandable that the pump body 522 can transport the detergent from the liquid storage cavity to the washing cavity to realize the transportation of the detergent. Among them, the pump body 522 can have a first connector 5221 exposed in the first installation cavity 5113, and one end of the box body 5211 of the liquid storage box 521 is provided with a second connector 5216, the first connector 5221 is connected to one end of the second connector 5216, and the end of the second connector 5216 away from the first connector 5221 is connected to the liquid storage cavity. In this way, the second installation cavity 513a formed by the second plate surface 513 of the plate body 511 can be used to install the pump body 522, and the pump body 522 does not need to occupy the space of the machine body 10 for installation, so that the machine body 10 can be designed to be more compact, so as to further reduce the overall size of the dishwasher 100, so that the dishwasher 100 can be suitable for a compact use environment, thereby improving the applicability of the dishwasher 100.

[0075] In some structural forms, the liquid storage box 521 has a placement position for placing the cleaning agent in the first installation cavity 5113. It can be understood that when the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the liquid storage box 521 can be docked with the pump body 522, and the pump body 522 pumps the cleaning agent in the liquid storage box 521 and places it into the washing cavity under the control of the circuit board assembly 523. In the placement position, there are many forms of connection between the pump body 522 and the liquid storage box 521. In an optional structural form, in order to maximize the use of the space of the liquid storage cavity and facilitate the pump body 522 to pump the cleaning agent, the second connector 5216 can be optionally arranged at the bottom of the box body 5211, and the second connector 5216 is extended to the side of the box body 5211. Among them, a plurality of support ribs are configured to form an air avoidance groove 5213, and the second connector 5216 is arranged in the air avoidance groove 5213 to protect the second connector 5216 to a certain extent. When the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the first connector 5221 is connected to the second connector 5216. Specifically, the first connector 5221 can be a male connector, and the second connector 5216 can be a female connector. When connected, the first connector 5221 partially extends into the second connector 5216, so that the two can be accurately connected and prevent the cleaning agent from leaking.

[0076] Further, please continue to refer to Figure 3 to Figure 4The second plate surface 513 is also recessed in the direction toward the first plate surface 512 to form a third installation cavity 513b. The delivery assembly 52 also includes a circuit board assembly 523. The circuit board assembly 523 is electrically connected to the pump body 522, and the circuit board assembly 523 is installed in the third installation cavity 513b. In this way, the third installation cavity 513b formed by the second plate surface 513 of the plate body 511 can be used to install the circuit board assembly 523. The circuit board assembly 523 does not need to occupy the space of the machine body 10 for installation, so that the machine body 10 can be designed to be more compact, so as to further reduce the overall size of the dishwasher 100, so that the dishwasher 100 can be used in a compact space environment, thereby improving the applicability of the dishwasher 100.

[0077] In the left-right direction of the skirting board 51, the second installation cavity 513a, the first installation cavity 5113 and the third installation cavity 513b may be arranged in sequence at intervals. It is understandable that, under daily use, the overall weight change of the liquid storage box 521 will change with the degree of detergent added. Therefore, if the position of the first installation cavity 5113 for installing the liquid storage box 521 is arranged at the left or right end of the base plate 514 of the plate body 511, as the detergent in the liquid storage box 521 is gradually added, the overall weight of the liquid storage box 521 will gradually decrease. At this time, the overall weight of the skirting board 51 will be easily unbalanced. Therefore, the first installation cavity 5113 is arranged between the second installation cavity 513a and the third installation cavity 513b, so that the liquid storage box 521 with a larger degree of weight change is set in the center to avoid the overall weight of the skirting board 51 from being unbalanced on the left and right. In this way, the overall stability of the plate body 511 of the skirting board 51 can be improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the plate body 511 connected to the machine body 10 and preventing the machine body 10 from being disconnected from the skirting board 51.

[0078] In some embodiments, see Figure 4 The side plate surface of the side plate 5165 of the cover body 516 can be pivotally connected to the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 5113 through the pivot 517, so that the cover body 516 can be rotated relative to the plate body 511 to cover or open the disassembly opening 5111. In this way, the embodiment of the present application realizes the rotation of the cover body 516 relative to the plate body 511 through the setting of the pivot 517. Compared with the form of pulling between the cover body 516 and the plate body 511, the cover body 516 of this embodiment only needs to rotate a certain acute angle, without fully rotating 90 degrees, which is enough for the user to take out the liquid storage box 521 from the first installation cavity 5113, which is more convenient.

[0079] Furthermore, the rotation form of the cover body 516 and the plate body 511 can be configured so that the cover body 516 rotates from top to bottom relative to the plate body 511. In this way, when the user opens the cover body 516, the cover body 516 can continue to rotate due to its own weight, and the user does not need to further open the cover body 516 to form an opening sufficient to take out the liquid storage box 521, which makes the operation more convenient.

[0080] In some structural forms, one of the side panel surface of the side panel 5165 of the cover body 516 and the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 5113 may be provided with a first buckle 5117 (eg, Figure 5 ), the other of which may be provided with a first buckle position 5165a (such as Figure 8 ), wherein the first buckle 5117 is engaged with the first buckle position 5165a, so that when the cover 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, the cover 516 can be engaged with the board body 511. In this way, when the cover 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, the connection stability between the cover 516 and the base plate 514 of the board body 511 can be improved by increasing the engagement between the first buckle 5117 and the first buckle position 5165a, so as to avoid the abnormal rotation of the cover 516 to cause damage to the cover 516 or the cover 516 to the footsteps of the user, so as to improve the durability of the delivery device 50 and improve the safety of the user when using it.

[0081] Exemplarily, the side panel surface of the side panel 5165 of the cover body 516 may be provided with the first buckle 5117, and the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 5113 may be provided with the first buckle position 5165a, or the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 5113 may be provided with the first buckle 5117, and the side panel surface of the side panel 5165 of the cover body 516 may be provided with the first buckle position 5165a, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.

[0082] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 , a guide surface 5117d may be formed on the first buckle 5117, and the guide surface 5117d is configured to guide and cooperate with the buckle wall of the first buckle position 5165a during the process of the first buckle 5117 being engaged with or disengaged from the first buckle position 5165a. In this way, under the guidance of the guide surface 5117d of the first buckle 5117, the smoothness of the cooperation between the first buckle 5117 and the first buckle position 5165a can be improved, thereby improving the smoothness of the user closing the cover body 516 or opening the disassembly opening 5111. Specifically, the shape of the profile of the guide surface 5117d can be configured to be wavy or folded, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0083] In some embodiments, see Figure 5 and Figure 7The cavity wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is formed with a receiving groove 5114 for receiving the buckle. The first buckle 5117 may include an elastic arm 5117a and a buckle body 5117b. One end of the elastic arm 5117a is connected to the groove wall of the receiving groove 5114, and the other end is connected to the buckle body 5117b. A guide surface 5117d is formed on the buckle body 5117b, wherein the elastic arm 5117a can be elastically deformed to drive the buckle body 5117b to engage or disengage from the first buckle position 5165a. When the elastic arm 5117a is placed in the receiving groove 5114, the receiving groove 5114 has a space for the elastic arm 5117a to be elastically deformed, so that the buckle body 5117b can be more easily engaged or disengaged from the first buckle position 5165a under the drive of the elastic arm 5117a, and the possibility of damage to the buckle body 5117b during the engagement or disengagement process can also be reduced.

[0084] Furthermore, the buckle body 5117b may include a plurality of sub-buckle portions 5117c, each of which is connected to one end of the elastic arm 5117a that is away from the groove wall surface of the accommodating groove 5114, and is arranged at intervals along the up and down directions of the elastic arm 5117a, and each sub-buckle portion 5117c is formed with a guide surface 5117d. When the first buckle 5117 is made of plastic and is made by injection molding, if the thickness of the buckle body 5117b is too large, the buckle body 5117b will shrink during the production process, so that the final buckle body 5117b may not be able to adapt to the first buckle position 5165a. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, the buckle body 5117b includes a plurality of spaced-apart sub-buckle portions 5117c, so that the required size of the buckle body 5117b is maintained while appropriately reducing the wall thickness of the buckle body 5117b, and the overall strength of the buckle body 5117b can be improved by setting the plurality of sub-buckle portions 5117c at intervals.

[0085] In some embodiments, the dispensing component 52 further includes a detection member (not shown in the figure) electrically connected to the circuit board component 523, the detection member is used to be installed on the body 10 of the dishwasher 100, and is configured to detect the remaining liquid volume of the liquid storage box 521 to obtain the liquid volume information of the liquid storage box 521. In this way, the liquid volume information of the liquid storage box 521 can be obtained through the detection member, and if the remaining liquid volume of the detergent is insufficient, the dishwasher 100 can automatically remind the user to add detergent, which is more intelligent and improves the user's experience.

[0086] In some structural forms, the detection member can be configured as an optical sensor. Accordingly, the liquid storage box 521 can be provided with a prism that is connected to the optical sensor. Under different liquid level conditions, the prism emits corresponding light to the optical sensor, so as to obtain the liquid volume information of the liquid storage box 521 through the optical sensor's reception of the light. It can be understood that the optical sensor has the advantages of stable performance, high reliability, and not being affected by high temperature and high pressure. In other structural forms, the detection member can be configured as a resistive liquid level sensor and installed in the liquid storage cavity, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.

[0087] The above content introduces the advantages of the dispensing device 50 of the present application from the position setting form of the dispensing component 52, which can disassemble and assemble the liquid storage box 521 placed in the first installation cavity 5113 through the disassembly opening 5111, so as to thoroughly clean the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage box 521. On this basis, in order to further improve the convenience of the user when disassembling and assembling the liquid storage box 521, please refer to Figures 4 to 5 The delivery device 50 of the embodiment of the present application further includes a guide structure 518, which is configured to drive the liquid storage box 521 to move as the cover body 516 moves relative to the plate body 511, so that when the cover body 516 covers the disassembly and assembly opening 5111, the liquid storage box 521 is located at the delivery position. Exemplarily, the guide structure 518 can be arranged on the plate body 511, and the guide structure 518 can be movably arranged and is in transmission connection with the cover body 516, so that when the cover body 516 moves, the guide structure 518 moves at the same time to drive the liquid storage box 521 to move. Alternatively, part of the guide structure 518 is arranged on the plate body 511 to guide the movement of the liquid storage box 521, and the other part is arranged on the cover body 516 to drive the liquid storage box 521 to move when the cover body 516 moves, so that the liquid storage box 521 moves to the delivery position under the joint action of the two parts. The movement (docking direction) of the liquid storage box 521 may be in the front-to-back direction or in the left-to-right direction, which is not limited in the present embodiment. It should be noted that the present embodiment defines the direction in which the liquid storage box 521 moves toward the placement position as the docking direction, for example, the direction in which the first connector 5221 and the second connector 5216 dock is the docking direction.

[0088] Alternatively, in some embodiments of the present application, the first joint 5221 is arranged on the left side of the first installation cavity 5113, and the docking direction is arranged along the left-right direction, that is, the liquid storage box 521 is driven to approach the first joint 5221 along the left-right direction, so that the first joint 5221 is docked with the second joint 5216. Docking along the left-right direction can avoid occupying too much space in the front-back direction, improve the space utilization rate of the body 10 of the dishwasher 100, and facilitate the arrangement of components. In this embodiment, the bottom of the side plate 5165 of the cover body 516 is rotatably connected to the plate body 511 through the pivot 517, and the guide structure 518 includes a guide portion 5181 arranged on the side of the cover body 516 away from the first joint 5221, that is, the right side of the cover body 516, and the guide portion 5181 is extended along the movement direction of the cover body 516 covering the disassembly opening 5111. In the process of the cover body 516 covering the disassembly opening 5111, the guide portion 5181 can drive the liquid storage box 521 to move along the docking direction.

[0089] The cover plate 5161 can be used to cover the disassembly opening 5111, and the side plate 5165 is extended in the front-to-back direction and extends into the first installation cavity 5113. The guide portion 5181 is provided on the side plate 5165 on the right side of the cover body 516, and the extension direction of the guide portion 5181 can be consistent with the extension direction of the side plate 5165, which is convenient for demoulding when the injection molding process is adopted.

[0090] In some embodiments, see Figure 8, the guide portion 5181 may be provided with a guide surface 5183. In the process of the cover body 516 gradually rotating to cover the disassembly and assembly port 5111, the guide portion 5181 gradually approaches the first installation cavity 5113. Gradually, the guide portion 5181 penetrates into the gap between the liquid storage box 521 and the right side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and at this time, the guide surface 5183 abuts against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216, that is, the right side wall of the box body 5211 of the liquid storage box 521. Compared with the right side wall, the guide surface 5183 is inclined, so that when the guide surface 5183 abuts against the right side wall of the box body 5211, the tangent of the guide surface 5183 at the contact position with the liquid storage box 521 is set at an acute angle to the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521, that is, the guide surface 5183 is configured to abut against the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521 at an acute angle, that is, the guide surface 5183 is configured to abut against the right side wall of the liquid storage box 521 at an acute angle. In this way, as the cover plate 5161 covers the disassembly opening 5111, the guide portion 5181 moves into the first installation cavity 5113, while the guide surface 5183 gradually moves away from the right side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and forces the liquid storage box 521 abutting against the guide surface 5183 to move to the left side of the first installation cavity 5113. In this way, the liquid storage box 521 can be driven by the structural design of the guide surface 5183, and the structure is simple, effective and easy to implement. The first joint 5221 is exposed on the left side of the first installation cavity 5113. When the liquid storage box 521 moves to the placement position, the first joint 5221 and the second joint 5216 are connected. It can be understood that at this time, the cover body 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, and the guide portion 5181 is located in the first installation cavity 5113.

[0091] Alternatively, the guide portion 5181 may be provided in a block shape; or, the guide portion 5181 includes one guide rib 5182 or multiple guide ribs 5182 provided side by side, the bottom of the guide rib 5182 is connected to the cover plate 5161, one side is connected to the side plate 5165, and the side of the guide rib 5182 away from the cover body 516 is formed as a guide surface 5183, the guide surface 5183 is extended from the bottom to the top of the guide rib 5182, and the width of the guide rib 5182 becomes smaller and smaller in the direction away from the cover plate 5161, so that the guide surface 5183 can abut against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216 at an acute angle. It can be understood that the guide portion 5181 in the form of the guide rib 5182 is not only convenient for demoulding during injection molding, but also can save materials and reduce costs while ensuring support.

[0092] In the embodiment of the present application, the placement seat does not have too many fixing structures for the liquid storage box 521. When the cover 516 is opened, the liquid storage box 521 can be placed in the first installation cavity 5113 more arbitrarily through the disassembly opening 5111. When the cover 516 moves relative to the plate body 511 and covers the disassembly opening 5111, the guide structure 518 drives the liquid storage box 521 to move until the cover 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111 and the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position to perform the operation of placing the cleaning agent.

[0093] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, since the liquid storage box 521 is movable and not restricted before the cover body 516 is not closed, the liquid storage box 521 can be directly taken out by opening the cover body 516; and after the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113 through the disassembly opening 5111, it is only necessary to move the cover body 516 until the cover body 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111, and the liquid storage box 521 can be driven to move by the guide structure 518 so that the liquid storage box 521 is located in the delivery position. Compared with the prior art, during the maintenance of the delivery device 50, there is no need to first fix the liquid storage box 521 and then fix the related shell or first remove the related shell and then remove the liquid storage box 521, which simplifies the operation steps, making the maintenance of the delivery device 50 simple, convenient and easy to operate, and the disassembly efficiency is high, which can effectively improve the user experience.

[0094] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 8 The guide surface 5183 may be an arc surface or an inclined surface, and may include a first guide segment 5184 and a second guide segment 5185 connected to each other, and the second guide segment is closer to the bottom of the guide portion 5181 than the first guide segment. Thus, in the process of the cover body 516 closing the disassembly opening 5111, the first guide segment 5184 and the second guide segment 5185 are configured to successively abut against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216.

[0095] Among them, the slope of the second guide section 5185 is greater than that of the first guide section 5184, or in other words, the second guide section 5185 is steeper than the first guide section 5184. The force exerted by the guide surface 5183 on the liquid storage box 521 is divided into forces in the front-to-back direction and the left-to-right direction. When the first guide section 5184 abuts against the liquid storage box 521, the angle between the first guide section 5184 and the liquid storage box 521 is large, the force exerted by the first guide section 5184 in the front-to-back direction is large, and the force in the left-to-right direction is small; when the second guide section 5185 abuts against the liquid storage box 521, the angle between the second guide section 5185 and the liquid storage box 521 is small, the force in the front-to-back direction is small, and the force in the left-to-right direction is large; that is, under the premise of no slippage, the second guide section 5185 can provide a strong thrust in the left-to-right direction, and due to the small angle, the stability is also improved. Optionally, the first connector 5221 or the second connector 5216 is elastic to reduce damage to the device caused by the connector docking and improve compatibility. During the docking process of the first connector 5221 and the second connector 5216, the second guide section 5185 abutting against the liquid storage box 521 can ensure smooth docking and avoid the liquid storage box 521 from getting stuck.

[0096] For further information, please refer to Figure 8 The guide surface 5183 may also include a limiting section 5186, which is closer to the bottom of the guide portion 5181 than the second guide section 5185, so that when the liquid storage box 521 is located in the placement position, it can abut against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216, so that the liquid storage box 521 can be prevented from leaving the placement position in the opposite direction of the docking direction (i.e., the direction away from the first joint 5221), thereby improving the relative stability of the liquid storage box 521 and the placement seat. Optionally, the limiting section 5186 is roughly parallel to the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 away from the second joint 5216 to increase the contact area and ensure the limiting effect. The limiting section 5186 is smoothly connected to the second guide section to reduce scratches on the liquid storage box 521 and make the movement of the liquid storage box 521 smooth to avoid jamming. Of course, in other embodiments, the limiting section 5186 and the first guide section 5184 and the second guide section 5185 are arranged on different structures, and the present application does not limit this.

[0097] In order to further limit the liquid storage box 521 to the placement position, please continue to refer to Figure 8, the guide structure 518 may further include a limiting portion 5187. The limiting portion 5187 is disposed on a side of the cover body 516 close to the first joint 5221, i.e., on the left side of the cover body 516. The limiting portion 5187 is configured to abut against the side wall of the liquid storage box 521 close to the second joint 5216 when the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position. In this way, when the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, it is exactly located between the limiting portion 5187 and the limiting section 5186 of the guide portion, and the liquid storage box 521 can neither continue to move along the docking direction nor escape from the placement position in the opposite direction of the docking direction, and the liquid storage box 521 can be relatively more stably restricted in the placement position. In addition, the limiting portion 5187 can also limit the movement of the liquid storage box 521 along the docking direction, so as to prevent the first joint 5221 and the second joint 5216 from being damaged by the moving liquid storage box 521. Optionally, the limiting portion 5187 may be block-shaped, or the limiting portion 5187 may include a plurality of limiting ribs; and the surface of the limiting portion 5187 facing the liquid storage box 521 may be parallel to the left side wall of the liquid storage box 521, or be inclined relative to the left side wall of the liquid storage box 521. The inclined surface of the limiting portion 5187 can be compatible with liquid storage boxes 521 of more sizes and has a wider applicability.

[0098] In some embodiments, see Figure 7 , the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is also provided with a convex rib 5119 for abutting against the bottom wall of the liquid storage box 521, and the liquid storage box 521 can move along the docking direction relative to the convex rib 5119. Exemplarily, the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is provided with two convex ribs 5119 at intervals along the left-right direction, and the extension direction of the convex rib 5119 is set at an angle with the left-right direction, for example, the convex rib 5119 can extend along the front-back direction. When the liquid storage box 521 is placed in the first installation cavity 5113, the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 abuts against the convex rib 5119. Compared with directly contacting with the wall surface of the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, the contact area between the liquid storage box 521 and the convex rib 5119 in this way is smaller, and the friction resistance during movement is smaller, so that the liquid storage box 521 can be further prevented from being stuck during movement, thereby improving its movement smoothness. In some embodiments, the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 is a support portion 5212 composed of a plurality of support ribs. In this case, the contact area between the support ribs and the convex ribs 5119 is further reduced than before, and the smoothness of the movement of the liquid storage box 521 can be further increased. It can be understood that the embodiment of the present application does not limit the number and form of the convex ribs 5119, and will not be listed one by one here.

[0099] In order to improve the accuracy and stability of the docking process of the liquid storage box 521, in some embodiments, the inner wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is provided with a guide boss 5118 (such as Figure 7 ), a guide notch 5214 is provided on one side of the liquid storage box 521 (such as Fig. 9 ). The guide boss 5118 extends into the guide notch 5214, and the two cooperate to enable the liquid storage box 521 to move along the guide boss 5118. The guide boss 5118 can provide certain support for the liquid storage box 521, thereby improving the movement stability of the liquid storage box 521. Among them, the guide boss 5118 is arranged in a strip shape, and can be convexly arranged on the bottom wall or the rear side wall of the first installation cavity 5113. The guide notch 5214 is a notch-shaped structure formed by the arrangement of multiple support ribs at the bottom of the liquid storage box 521. Specifically, support ribs are distributed on the front side of the box body 5211, and are less or not distributed on the rear side thereof. The support ribs are extended in the up and down directions, and the surface of the support ribs and the bottom wall of the rear side of the box body 5211 are configured to form the above-mentioned guide notch 5214. In an optional embodiment, the guide boss 5118 is formed by a protruding portion of the wall surface of the bottom wall or the rear side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and the outer surface of the guide boss 5118 defines the farthest distance that the liquid storage box 521 penetrates into the first installation cavity 5113 along the front-back direction. In other words, when the user puts the liquid storage box 521 in such a way that the wall surface of the guide boss 5118 abuts against the wall surface of the guide notch 5214, it indicates that the liquid storage box 521 is in place. At this time, it is only necessary to design the distance between the first joint 5221 and the guide boss 5118, and the relationship between the second joint 5216 and the guide notch 5214 to ensure that when the liquid storage box 521 moves along the guide boss 5118 to the placement position, the first joint 5221 can be docked with the second joint 5216, thereby ensuring the accuracy of docking.

[0100] For further information, see Figure 7 The inner wall of the guide notch 5214 is provided with a positioning protrusion 5215 extending toward the guide boss 5118, and the guide boss 5118 is provided with a positioning groove 5118a. Optionally, the positioning protrusion 5215 can be a plurality of supporting ribs provided at the bottom of the box body 5211, and along the extending direction of the guide boss 5118, the length of the positioning protrusion 5215 is less than the length of the positioning groove 5118a, so that the positioning protrusion 5215 can be movably provided in the positioning groove 5118a.

[0101] Thus, on the one hand, the positioning protrusion 5215 provided in the guide notch 5214 is conducive to balancing the weight of the liquid storage box 521, so that the rear side of the liquid storage box 521 can also be supported to a certain extent, thereby preventing the liquid storage box 521 from tipping over; on the other hand, the positioning protrusion 5215 and the positioning groove 5118a can play a role of pre-positioning, so that the liquid storage box 521 can be in a proper position when it is placed in the first installation cavity 5113. For example, the guide portion 5181 can be inserted between the liquid storage box 521 and the right side wall of the first installation cavity 5113, thereby ensuring the effectiveness of the guide structure 518; furthermore, the wall surface of the positioning groove 5118a in the left and right directions can cooperate with the positioning protrusion 5215 when the liquid storage box 521 reaches the placement position, thereby preventing the liquid storage box 521 from being too close to the first joint 5221 and damaging the related structure. Of course, in some other embodiments, a guide notch 5214 may be provided in the first mounting cavity 5113, and a guide boss 5118 may be provided on the liquid storage box 521. The guide boss 5118 cooperates with the guide notch 5214, which can also achieve the purpose of improving the movement stability of the liquid storage box 521.

[0102] In order to keep the liquid storage box 521 at the placement position when the cover body 516 covers the disassembly opening 5111 , the placement device 50 further includes a limiting structure 519 .

[0103] In some embodiments, the docking direction coincides with the left-right direction, and the limiting structure 519 includes a second buckle 5191 (such as Figure 5 ) and the second buckle position 5192 (such as Fig. 9). The second buckle 5191 is elastically provided on the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and the second buckle position 5192 can be provided on the bottom wall of the liquid storage box 521. When the liquid storage box 521 moves to the placement position along the docking direction, the second buckle 5191 is matched and connected with the second buckle position 5192. Specifically, the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 is provided with an avoidance notch corresponding to the position of the second buckle 5191, and the second buckle 5191 is provided in the avoidance notch to reduce the part protruding from the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 and avoid interference with the movement of the liquid storage box 521. The second buckle position 5192 can be a groove structure provided at the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 and opening toward the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113, and can be specifically formed by a plurality of support ribs arranged at the bottom of the box body 5211 of the liquid storage box 521 being vacant at appropriate positions. The plurality of support ribs include left and right parts, and the support ribs of the left and right parts are arranged at intervals to form the second buckle position 5192. When the support ribs of the left part pass through the second buckle 5191, the second buckle 5191 goes deep into the second buckle position 5192. At this time, the left wall of the second buckle 5191 abuts against the right wall of the support ribs of the left part of the liquid storage box 521, thereby realizing the limited cooperation between the second buckle 5191 and the second buckle position 5192. In this way, when the liquid storage box 521 is located in the placement position, the second buckle 5191 and the second buckle position 5192 abut against each other at least in the left and right directions, thereby preventing the liquid storage box 521 from moving away from the placement position in the opposite direction of the docking direction, thereby improving the stability of the liquid storage box 521 in the placement position.

[0104] Furthermore, the limiting structure 519 may further include a third buckle 5193 (eg Fig. 9 ) and the third buckle position 5194 (such as Figure 5 ). Among them, the third buckle 5193 is elastically arranged at the bottom of the liquid storage box 521 and is spaced apart from the first buckle position 5165a, and the third buckle position 5194 is arranged on the bottom wall of the first installation cavity 5113 and is spaced apart from the first buckle 5117. When the liquid storage box 521 moves to the placement position along the docking direction, the third buckle 5193 is matched and connected with the third buckle position 5194. In this way, the movement of the liquid storage box 521 away from the placement position in the direction perpendicular to the docking direction (up and down direction) can be blocked, and the stability of the liquid storage box 521 in the placement position can be further improved.

[0105] In some structural forms, see Figure 5 , Figure 8 as well as Fig. 9The guide structure 518 may include a limiting portion 5187 and a guide portion 5181 disposed on the left and right sides of the cover body 516, and the guide portion 5181 is provided with a limiting section 5186. When the liquid storage box 521 is located at the placement position, the limiting portion 5187 abuts against the side of the liquid storage box 521 close to the first joint 5221 (left side), and the limiting section 5186 abuts against the side of the liquid storage box 521 away from the first joint 5221 (right side). At the same time, the second buckle 5191 is limitedly matched with the second buckle position 5192, and the third buckle 5193 is limitedly matched with the third buckle position 5194. In the above case, the limiting portion 5187 and the second buckle 5191 form two forces in different directions on two parts of the left half of the liquid storage box 521, thereby clamping the left half of the liquid storage box 521, and the limiting section 5186 and the third buckle 5194 form a clamp on the right half of the liquid storage box 521. In this way, the guiding structure 518 cooperates with the limiting structure 519 to firmly fix the liquid storage box 521 at the placement position under the combined action of multiple constraints, effectively improving the position stability of the liquid storage box 521 at the placement position. In this way, the placement device 50 can better achieve the effect of fixing the liquid storage box 521 through the plate body 511, the cover body 516, the guiding structure 518 and the limiting structure 519, without additionally reinforcing the liquid storage box 521 or fixing the liquid storage box 521 by means of screws, etc., and only by closing the cover body 516 to achieve the above purpose, which undoubtedly has a lower learning cost than the related technology, and is simpler and easier to operate, and has higher efficiency.

[0106] It is understandable that the arrangement positions and forms of the second buckle 5191, the third buckle 5193, the second buckle position 5192 and the third buckle position 5194 in the embodiment of the present application are not limited to the above examples. For example, the second buckle 5191 and the third buckle 5193 can also be arranged on the plate body 511, and the second buckle position 5192 and the third buckle position 5194 can be arranged on the liquid storage box 521. Or in some other embodiments, the second buckle 5191 and the second buckle position 5192 can also be hooked, so that the movement of the liquid storage box 521 in multiple directions can be restricted. In short, under the premise of improving the stability of the liquid storage box 521, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the structural form of the second buckle 5191, the third buckle 5193, the second buckle position 5192 and the third buckle position 5194, and no more details are given here.
