[0057] A dishwasher is a device that automatically washes tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, forks, etc. Traditional dishwashers are usually equipped with a liquid storage structure to store detergent, and the detergent is delivered to the washing chamber of the dishwasher body through a delivery pipeline to wash the tableware with the detergent.

[0058] In the related art, since the delivery pipeline between the liquid storage structure and the washing chamber is long, the washing liquid is likely to remain in the delivery pipeline after being delivered, and after a long period of accumulation, it is easy to cause a blockage risk, affecting the cleaning effect of the dishwasher.

[0059] To solve the above problems, please refer to Figures 1 to 3 The present application proposes a dishwasher 100. In the embodiment of the present application, the dishwasher 100 includes a body 10, a water supply structure 20, a liquid storage structure 30 and a connecting structure 40. The water supply structure 20 is used to provide clean water during the washing process of the dishwasher 100. The liquid storage structure 30 is used to store detergent. The detergent is mixed with clean water during the washing process of the dishwasher 100 to wash the tableware.

[0060] The body 10 can be square in structure, and has a washing chamber (not shown) and a accommodating chamber 10A inside the body 10. It can be understood that the washing chamber is used to place tableware, and the accommodating chamber 10A is used to accommodate the water supply structure 20 and the connecting structure 40, thereby preventing the water supply structure 20 and the liquid storage structure 30 from being exposed to the outside, so as to improve the protection of the water supply structure 20 and the connecting structure 40.

[0061] The water supply structure 20 can be directly a pipeline structure to be connected to an external water source interface to provide clean water for the dishwasher 100 during the cleaning process, or the water supply structure 20 can also have a water storage function to store clean water, eliminating the need to clean from an external water source interface every time, so as to be suitable for working conditions when the external water source interface is out of water.

[0062] The liquid storage structure 30 is arranged on the outside of the body 10 and is formed with a liquid storage cavity for storing detergent. The liquid storage structure 30 may be in a rectangular block shape for easy production and installation. The main structure of the liquid storage structure 30 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 structure 30, which is more convenient and improves the user's experience. Of course, the main structure of the liquid storage structure 30 may also be made of metal.

[0063] The connecting structure 40 includes a first interface 411, a second interface 421 and a third interface 412 which are connected to each other, that is, the connecting structure 40 can be a conducting structure with multiple interfaces such as a three-way pipe or a four-way pipe. The first interface 411 is connected to the liquid storage structure 30, the second interface 421 is connected to the water supply structure 20, and the third interface 412 is connected to the washing chamber, wherein the opening shapes and sizes of the first interface 411, the second interface 421 and the third interface 412 can be the same, so that the interfaces of the connecting structure 40 and the water supply structure 20, the connecting structure 40 and the washing chamber can be arbitrarily changed, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of installation.

[0064] Based on the dishwasher 100 of the present application, by providing a connecting structure 40 having a first interface 411, a second interface 421 and a third interface 412 that are connected to each other, the user can first place the detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 on the outside of the body 10, and then inject the detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 into the connecting structure 40 through the first interface 411. At the same time, the water flow of the water supply structure 20 is injected into the connecting structure 40 through the second interface 421, so as to drive the detergent located in the connecting structure 40 to be injected into the washing cavity along the third interface 412, thereby completing the work of adding detergent.

[0065] It can be seen that in the embodiment of the present application, in terms of operational convenience, since the liquid storage structure 30 is located outside the body 10, the user does not need to open the washing chamber when performing the operation of adding detergent, and the liquid adding operation is convenient and quick, and it is also convenient to clean the liquid storage structure 30. At the same time, in terms of the cleaning effect of the dishwasher 100, when the detergent of the liquid storage structure 30 is added into the connecting structure 40, the water flow of the water supply structure 20 is introduced to wash away the detergent retained in the connecting structure 40, thereby effectively reducing the condensation of the detergent inside the connecting structure 40, reducing the possibility of the detergent remaining in the connecting structure 40 to cause blockage, and improving the accuracy of the amount of detergent added by the dishwasher 100, thereby effectively ensuring that the dishwashing cleaning effect of the dishwasher 100 is stable and reliable.

[0066] Reference Figures 3 to 5 In some structural forms, the fuselage 10 includes a body 11, a door body 16, a skirting board 12 and a bottom cover 13.

[0067] The machine body 11 may be in a square structure and formed with a washing chamber with an opening (not shown in the figure), wherein the machine body 11 may be made of metal material, so that the machine body 11 itself can have higher strength and be more durable, and the metal material has better performance in terms of thermal conductivity and heat transfer, so that the machine body 11 has better effect in the heat exchange and condensation drying process. Of course, the machine body 11 may also be made of plastic material, so that the machine body 11 has the advantage of being lighter in weight, and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.

[0068] The door body 16 may be in a square structure to match the cross-sectional shape of the washing chamber of the machine body 11, so that the washing chamber can be opened or closed by rotating the door body 16. The door body 16 may be made of glass, for example, tempered glass with good strength. In this way, the door body 16 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 16, providing the user with a good user experience. Of course, the door body 16 may also be made of metal so that the door body 16 itself has good strength, and this application does not limit this.

[0069] The skirting board 12 may be in the shape of an elongated strip and have 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 12 may be made of a 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 12 may also be made of a metal material, such as an aluminum alloy material, which is not limited in the present embodiment of the application. The skirting board 12 is connected to the lower front side of the machine body 11, and the liquid storage structure 30 is connected to the outer side of the skirting board 12 away from the machine body 11.

[0070] The bottom cover 13 may be in the shape of a rectangular plate, and the bottom cover 13 is connected to the bottom of the body 11 to cooperate in constructing the accommodating chamber 10A. Specifically, the connection form between the bottom cover 13 and the bottom of the body 11 may include but is not limited to snap connection, threaded connection or magnetic connection, etc., and the embodiment of the present application does not limit this. In this way, during subsequent maintenance, maintenance personnel can remove the bottom cover 13 to inspect the connecting structure 40 located in the accommodating chamber 10A. In addition, the accommodating chamber 10A is located at the bottom of the body 11, so that the liquid storage structure 30 and the connecting structure 40 are both located at the bottom of the body 11 to shorten the distance between the two, so that the detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 can more easily enter the inside of the connecting structure 40, reduce the length of the connecting structure 40, and further reduce the possibility of detergent remaining in the connecting structure 40.

[0071] Furthermore, the body 10 also includes a spray assembly 14, and the spray assembly 14 is connected to the surface of the body 11 facing the bottom cover 13. The spray assembly 14 includes a first liquid inlet connector (not shown) and a spray end (not shown), and the spray end extends into the washing chamber. The third interface 412 of the connecting structure 40 is docked with the first liquid inlet connector of the spray assembly 14, and can be specifically plug-in or socket-connected. In this way, after the mixed detergent in the connecting structure 40 enters the first liquid inlet connector through the third interface 412, the tableware in the washing chamber is sprayed and cleaned by the spray end. In this way, the detergent and the clean water of the water supply structure 20 can not only be mixed in the connecting structure 40, but also can be evenly mixed in the spray assembly 14, so as to further realize the concentration adjustment control of the detergent, so as to improve the cleaning effect of the tableware. In addition, the spray assembly 14 also includes a second liquid inlet connector (not shown), which is connected to the water supply structure 20, so that when clean water is needed to perform a secondary wash on the tableware in the washing chamber, the water can directly enter the spray assembly 14 through the second liquid inlet connector from the water supply structure 20, without having to pass through the connecting structure 40 again. The cleaning effect of the tableware in the washing chamber is ensured, and the detergent residue is reduced. It can be understood that the spray assembly 14 specifically sprays water to the tableware in the washing chamber through the spray end, and the water flow can be ejected from the washing chamber from top to bottom or from bottom to top, or simultaneously in multiple directions, so as to achieve the above-mentioned spray washing function, so the specific structure of the spray assembly 14 is not limited here.

[0072] Combined with reference Figure 3 and Figure 6, optionally, the connecting structure 40 includes a first connecting pipe 41 and a second connecting pipe 42. One end of the second connecting pipe 42 passes through the pipe wall of the first connecting pipe 41 and is in communication with the interior of the first connecting pipe 41. The opposite ends of the first connecting pipe 41 are respectively configured as a first interface 411 and a third interface 412, and the end of the second connecting pipe 42 facing away from the first connecting pipe 41 is configured as a second interface 421. Wherein, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 are arranged at an angle, specifically, they can be arranged in an "inverted V" shape or a "human" shape, so that the detergent can flow into the first connecting pipe 41 along the guide of the second connecting pipe 42. In this way, the detergent flowing out of the second connecting pipe 42 can flow along the water flow direction of the first connecting pipe 41, which not only makes it easier for the detergent to be flushed into the washing cavity, but also eliminates the need to additionally set up a space for mixing detergent and clean water, making the structure of the connecting structure 40 simpler, facilitating production and manufacturing, and also facilitating installation, reducing the space occupied in the installation cavity, and further realizing the miniaturization of the dishwasher 100.

[0073] Further, the distance between the connection point of the second connecting pipe 42 and the first connecting pipe 41 and the first interface 411 is less than the distance between the connection point of the second connecting pipe 42 and the first connecting pipe 41 and the third interface 412. Such a setting enables the clean water of the water supply structure 20 to enter the connecting structure 40 along the position close to the first interface 411. Thus, when the detergent retention position is close to the first interface 411 (i.e., close to the liquid storage structure 30), it can also be dispersed by the clean water of the water supply structure 20, thereby increasing the length of the clean water of the water supply structure 20 passing through the first connecting pipe 41, and further improving the effect of flushing the detergent remaining inside the connecting structure 40.

[0074] Optionally, the height of the first interface 411 in the accommodation cavity 10A is higher than the height of the connection point of the second connecting pipe 42 and the first connecting pipe 41 in the accommodation cavity 10A. In this way, no matter whether the connecting structure 40 is placed horizontally or vertically in the installation cavity, the clean water entering from the first interface 411 of the second connecting pipe 42 can fall into the first connecting pipe 41 under the action of gravity, improving the impact force of the clean water, and further reducing the possibility of detergent remaining on the pipe wall of the first connecting pipe 41 and improving the cleaning effect.

[0075] Optionally, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 are of an integral structure. The first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 can be in an integral structure form. In this way, the number of components in the connecting structure 40 can be reduced, making the overall structure of the connecting structure 40 simpler and the strength of the overall structure higher.

[0076] Optionally, the first connecting tube 41 and the second connecting tube 42 are arranged in an arc tube. The first connecting tube 41 and the second connecting tube 42 can be arranged in an arc shape such as a "C" shape, which can not only adapt to special installation environments, but also the arc-shaped first connecting tube 41 can extend the passing length of clean water and detergent, thereby increasing the mixing time of clean water and detergent, and improving the cleaning effect. When the height of the second interface 421 in the accommodating chamber 10A of the second connecting tube 42 is higher than the height of the connection between the second connecting tube 42 and the first connecting tube 41 in the accommodating chamber 10A, the second connecting tube 42 is more likely to guide clean water to flow into the first connecting tube 41, thereby reducing detergent residue and improving the cleaning effect.

[0077] Optionally, the first connecting tube 41 and the second connecting tube 42 are telescopic tubes, so that the lengths of the first connecting tube 41 and the second connecting tube 42 are adjustable, thereby being applicable to various installation environments.

[0078] Optionally, the first connecting tube 41 and the second connecting tube 42 are hoses, so that the first connecting tube 41 and the second connecting tube 42 are easy to bend and deform, and thus can be applied to various installation environments.

[0079] In some structural forms, the body 10 further includes a water inlet valve (not shown), which is connected to the wall of the housing 11 at the accommodating chamber 10A, and is located between the second interface 421 and the water supply structure 20. By setting the water inlet valve, the water inlet valve can control the water entering the water supply structure 20 to control the amount of water entering each time of washing. In another embodiment, the body 10 further includes a breather (not shown), which is connected to the wall of the housing 11 at the accommodating chamber 10A, and is located between the second interface 421 and the water supply structure 20. The breather is used to remove bubbles in the water flow of the water supply structure 20, prevent excessive gas pressure from being generated during washing, and protect the pipes and parts inside the dishwasher 100 from being damaged. In another embodiment, the body 10 further includes a water softener (not shown), which is connected to the wall of the housing 11 at the accommodating chamber 10A, and is located between the second interface 421 and the water supply structure 20. The water softener is used to soften the water in the water supply structure 20 to form soft water. Soft water refers to water containing less than 50 mg / L of calcium salt and magnesium salt. When soft water is used for washing, it can have a better washing effect and save detergent, thereby improving the washing effect. It should be noted that when the fuselage 10 also includes one of the water inlet valve, the respirator and the water softener, it can be directly plugged or directly sleeved with the second interface 421, or fixed with the help of a clamp or other structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the fuselage 10 can include the water inlet valve, the respirator and the water softener at the same time. So as to have the above functions at the same time.

[0080] Combined with reference Figure 3 , Figure 4as well as Figure 7 In some structural forms, the dishwasher 100 further includes a pump body 50, which is connected to the skirting board 12 and has an input connector 51 and an output connector 52, wherein the output connector 52 passes through the body 11 and is exposed in the accommodating cavity 10A and communicates with the first interface 411. The input connector 51 is directly connected to the liquid outlet connector 33 of the liquid storage structure 30.

[0081] Among them, the pump body 50 can be a metering pump, and the pump body 50 can extract the detergent from the liquid storage structure 30 and transport it to the connecting structure 40 to provide power transportation for the detergent. By making the input connector 51 of the pump body 50 directly connected to the liquid outlet connector 33 of the liquid storage structure 30, that is, there is no additional pipeline connection between the pump body 50 and the liquid storage structure 30, and they are directly connected, the loss of detergent in the pipeline can be effectively avoided, and the probability of blockage can be further reduced. Specifically, the input connector 51 can be a male head, and the liquid outlet connector 33 can be a female head. When docking, the input connector 51 partially extends into the liquid outlet connector 33, so that the two can be accurately docked and prevent detergent leakage.

[0082] Combined with reference Figure 7 and Figure 8 Further, a mounting portion 121 is formed on the skirting board 12. In the front-to-back direction of the skirting board 12, the mounting portion 121 has a front surface 1211 and a rear surface 1212 that are disposed opposite to each other. The skirting board 12 has a first board surface 122 and a second board surface 123 that are disposed opposite to each other. The front surface 1211 is sunken backward to form a first mounting cavity 121a, and the mounting portion 121 is open at least at the front side to form a disassembly port 1213, and the disassembly port 1213 is connected to the first mounting cavity 121a. It can be understood that the first installation cavity 121a and the disassembly and assembly port 1213 are constructed by the installation portion 121, so that the disassembly and assembly port 1213 corresponds to the first installation cavity 121a, that is, the opening size of the disassembly and assembly port 1213 is equal to the cavity opening size of the first installation cavity 121a. Compared with the form in which the opening size of the disassembly and assembly port 1213 is larger than the cavity opening size of the first installation cavity 121a, the form of this embodiment can avoid the disassembly and assembly port 1213 formed by the skirting board 12 from being too large, thereby preventing the overall stiffness of the skirting board 12 from being too low, so as to avoid the skirting board 12 from being deformed and damaged when the user's foot touches the skirting board 12, thereby ensuring the durability of the skirting board 12 of the embodiment of the present application.

[0083] Reference Figures 7 to 9, the liquid storage structure 30 is detachably installed in the first installation cavity 121a. Specifically, the detachable installation form may include but is not limited to snap connection, threaded connection or magnetic connection, etc., and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this. In this way, in actual use, the user can remove the liquid storage structure 30 from the first installation cavity 121a, and then perform a series of operations such as adding detergent to the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage structure 30 or cleaning the liquid storage cavity, and after completion, the liquid storage structure 30 can be installed in the first installation cavity 121a again. In this way, under long-term use, it is convenient to regularly remove the liquid storage structure 30 from the first installation cavity 121a to thoroughly clean the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage structure 30, thereby avoiding the accumulation of detergent in the liquid storage cavity of the liquid storage structure 30 and other locations to cause blockage, and then avoiding the occurrence of inaccurate detergent dosage to ensure the washing effect of the dishwasher 100.

[0084] In addition, the liquid storage structure 30 includes a box body 31 and a support portion 32. Specifically, the box body 31 includes a box body and a box cover, the box body forms a 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 structure 30 is removed, liquid can be added to the box body 31 through the liquid filling port by opening the box cover. The support portion 32 is arranged on the bottom wall of the box body 31, and is used to support the box body 31 when the liquid storage structure 30 is placed in the first installation cavity 121a. Optionally, in one embodiment, the support portion 32 includes a plurality of support ribs staggered at the bottom of the box body 31, 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 121a when the liquid storage structure 30 is placed in the first installation cavity 121a. 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 support ribs as the support of the box body 31, which is beneficial to saving materials and reducing costs while ensuring the support. In addition, this also reduces the weight of the liquid storage structure 30, which is more conducive to the movement of the liquid storage structure 30. Of course, the support part 32 can also adopt other structural forms such as a plate structure or a block structure, and the present application does not limit this.

[0085] The second plate surface 123 of the skirting board 12 is recessed in the direction toward the first plate surface 122 to form a second installation cavity 123b, and the second installation cavity 123b is spaced apart from the first installation cavity 121a in the left-right direction of the skirting board 12, and the pump body 50 is installed in the second installation cavity 123b. In this way, the pump body 50 can be installed through the second installation cavity 123b formed by the second plate surface 123 of the skirting board 12, and the pump body 50 does not need to occupy the space of the machine body 11 for installation, so that the machine body 11 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 usage environment, thereby improving the applicability of the dishwasher 100.

[0086] Furthermore, the second plate surface 123 is also recessed in the direction toward the first plate surface 122 to form a third installation cavity 123c. In the left and right directions of the skirting board 12, the second installation cavity 123b, the first installation cavity 121a and the third installation cavity 123c are arranged in sequence. The dishwasher 100 also includes a circuit board assembly 60, which is electrically connected to the pump body 50 and is installed in the third installation cavity 123c. In this way, the third installation cavity 123c formed by the second plate surface 123 of the skirting board 12 can also be used to install the circuit board assembly 60. The circuit board assembly 60 does not need to occupy the space of the machine body 11 for installation, so that the machine body 11 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 usage environment, thereby improving the applicability of the dishwasher 100. The circuit board assembly 60 can control the pump body 50 to extract the detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 in a timely and quantitative manner. In this way, the user only needs to fill the liquid storage structure 30 with detergent, and the detergent does not need to be manually added for a long time, thereby reducing the difficulty of each washing.

[0087] In the left-right direction of the skirting board 12 , the second installation cavity 123 b , the first installation cavity 121 a , and the third installation cavity 123 c may be arranged in sequence and spaced apart. It is understandable that under daily use, the overall weight change of the liquid storage structure 30 will change with the degree of detergent added. Therefore, if the first installation cavity 121a for installing the liquid storage structure 30 is arranged at the left or right end of the skirting board 12, as the detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 is gradually added, the overall weight of the liquid storage structure 30 will gradually decrease. At this time, the overall weight of the skirting board 12 will be easily unbalanced. Therefore, the first installation cavity 121a is arranged between the second installation cavity 123b and the third installation cavity 123c, so that the liquid storage structure 30 with a larger degree of weight change is arranged in the center to avoid the overall weight of the skirting board 12 from being unbalanced on the left and right. In this way, the overall stability of the skirting board 12 can be improved, thereby ensuring the stability of the skirting board 12 connected to the body 11 and preventing the body 11 from being disconnected from the skirting board 12.

[0088] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Optionally, the body 10 further includes a cover 15, which is movably connected to the skirting board 12 to cover or open the disassembly opening 1213. It should be noted that the specific form in which the cover 15 is movably connected to the skirting board 12 may include, but is not limited to, rotating along the up and down direction of the skirting board 12, rotating from left to right or from right to left along the left and right direction of the skirting board 12, and pulling the cover 15 along the front and back direction of the skirting board 12, which is not limited in the embodiment of the present application. By providing the cover 15, the liquid storage structure 30 can be protected to prevent the liquid storage structure 30 from being exposed to the outside for a long time and being easily damaged by collision. In addition, when the cover 15 covers the disassembly opening 1213, the surface of the cover 15 away from the liquid storage structure 30 is coplanar with the surface of the skirting board 12 away from the body 11, which not only makes the overall appearance more beautiful, but also prevents the cover 15 from bulging outward and being easily damaged by collision.

[0089] In some structural forms, an observation window 151 is formed on the cover 15. When the cover 15 covers the disassembly opening 1213, the observation window 151 is arranged opposite to the liquid storage structure 30 along the front-rear direction of the skirting board 12. In this way, even when the cover 15 covers the disassembly opening 1213, the user can directly observe the liquid storage level in the liquid storage cavity through the observation window 151 without opening the cover 15, thus saving operation steps. The observation window 151 can be a through-hole structure.

[0090] Furthermore, the side panel surface of the cover body 15 is pivotally connected to the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 121a through a pivot, so that the cover body 15 can rotate relative to the skirting board 12 to cover or open the disassembly opening 1213. In this way, the embodiment of the present application realizes the rotation of the cover body 15 relative to the skirting board 12 through the setting of the pivot. Compared with the form of pulling between the cover body 15 and the skirting board 12, the cover body 15 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 structure 30 from the first installation cavity 121a, which is more convenient.

[0091] Furthermore, the rotation form of the cover body 15 and the skirting board 12 can be configured so that the cover body 15 rotates from top to bottom relative to the skirting board 12. In this way, when the user opens the cover body 15, the cover body 15 can continue to rotate due to its own weight, and the user does not need to perform further opening operations to form an opening sufficient to take out the liquid storage structure 30, which makes the operation more convenient.

[0092] Reference Figure 2 Optionally, one of the side panel surface of the cover body 15 and the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 121a is provided with a buckle, and the other is provided with a buckle position. The buckle and the buckle position are engaged with each other, so that when the cover body 15 covers the disassembly opening 1213, the cover body 15 can be engaged with the skirting board 12. In this way, when the cover body 15 covers the disassembly opening 1213, the connection stability between the cover body 15 and the skirting board 12 can be improved by increasing the engagement between the buckle and the buckle position, so as to avoid the abnormal rotation of the cover body 15 to cause damage to the cover body 15 or the cover body 15 to the user's footsteps. In this way, the durability of the cover body 15 can be improved and the safety of the user when using it can be improved.

[0093] Exemplarily, the side panel surface of the side panel of the cover body 15 may be provided with a buckle, and the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 121a may be provided with a buckle, or the cavity wall of the first installation cavity 121a may be provided with a buckle, and the side panel surface of the side panel of the cover body 15 may be provided with a buckle, and the embodiments of the present application are not limited to this.
