Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of dishwasher technology, specifically to a dishwasher top cover assembly device. Background Technology
[0002] Commercial dishwasher lids are generally assembled using either intelligent assembly equipment or manually. Intelligent assembly equipment, which uses industrial robots, offers high efficiency but also incurs high operating costs and is not widely adopted. Manual assembly is more common and is more cost-effective. However, when assembling a dishwasher lid manually, the operator needs to adjust its position to ensure it is accurately placed on the dishwasher before securing it. Furthermore, manual assistance is required during assembly to prevent displacement. This results in a high workload for workers and lower efficiency in dishwasher lid assembly. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a dishwasher top cover assembly device to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A dishwasher top cover assembly device includes an assembly main support plate, which is fixed to the dishwasher body during use, and the dishwasher top cover is installed on the dishwasher body. The main support plate is equipped with a plate adsorption and fixing component, which fixes the main support plate to the dishwasher body. The main support plate is also provided with a drive connection component, which is connected to the plate adsorption and fixing component to drive the plate adsorption and fixing component to move, and fix the main support plate to the dishwasher body through the plate adsorption and fixing component. The drive connection assembly is also connected to the top cover locking mechanism, and the drive connection assembly drives the top cover locking mechanism to move, thereby limiting the position of the dishwasher top cover.
[0005] Preferably, the two main support plates are used in pairs and are installed at both ends of the dishwasher body.
[0006] Preferably, the two sides of the main mounting plate are symmetrically fixed with fitting wing plates, and the fitting wing plates are fixed with an externally protruding support platform, and the externally protruding support platform is provided with an internal insertion cavity.
[0007] Preferably, the drive connection assembly includes an electric telescopic rod and a movable drive frame, wherein the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to the movable drive frame, and the movable drive frame is moved by the electric telescopic rod.
[0008] Preferably, the plate adsorption and fixing assembly includes a rotating gear and an insertion cavity plate, and the moving drive frame is connected to the rotating gear to drive the rotating gear to rotate.
[0009] Preferably, the rotating gear is connected to the insertion cavity plate, and the insertion cavity plate is inserted into the inner insertion cavity.
[0010] Preferably, the top cover locking mechanism includes a support moving platform, a stop moving bar, and a stop moving plate, wherein the support moving platform is movably connected to the moving drive frame.
[0011] Preferably, the movable baffle is mounted on the carrier moving platform, and the carrier moving platform drives the movable baffle to move, thereby limiting the two ends of the dishwasher top cover.
[0012] Preferably, the movable plate is also mounted on the carrier moving platform, which drives the movable plate to move, thereby limiting the two sides of the dishwasher top cover.
[0013] Preferably, the gear shift lever is movably connected to the gear shift plate, and the movement of the gear shift lever will also drive the gear shift plate to move.
[0014] Preferably, the moving drive frame contacts the gear shift lever when moving, pushing the gear shift lever to move.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the present invention has a reasonable structural design and strong functionality, and has the following advantages: 1. When assembling the dishwasher top cover, mounting main support plates are installed on both ends of the dishwasher body. The mounting main support plates restrict the position of the dishwasher top cover, allowing for quick positioning when placing the dishwasher top cover onto the dishwasher body. This ensures that the top cover is accurately and quickly placed at the installation point. Furthermore, the dishwasher will not move during the assembly and fixing process due to the restriction of the mounting main support plates, eliminating the need for manual assistance. This is very convenient, improves assembly efficiency, and simplifies the assembly process for staff, making it highly practical.
[0016] 2. When fixing the main mounting plate to the dishwasher body, the main mounting plate is brought into contact with the end of the dishwasher body. At this time, the fitting wing plate is also tightly fitted to the dishwasher body. Then, the electric telescopic rod is activated to drive the moving drive frame to move. As the moving drive frame moves, it will drive the rotating gear to rotate. Under the action of the rotating gear, the insertion cavity plate will move, which can create a negative pressure in the inner insertion cavity, thereby firmly fixing the main mounting plate to the dishwasher body 1, which is convenient for its installation and removal, and also convenient for the assembly and fixing of the dishwasher top cover.
[0017] 3. In addition, as the moving drive frame moves, it will also push the carrier moving platform upward. As the carrier moving platform moves upward, it will drive the gear shifting rod and gear shifting plate upward, so that they are away from the connection between the dishwasher body and the dishwasher top cover. This makes it easier to assemble and fix the dishwasher top cover later. Furthermore, the further movement of the moving drive frame will also drive the gear shifting rod and gear shifting plate to move, so that they reach the working position. This way, when placing the dishwasher top cover, they can be used to limit its movement, which is convenient for the accurate placement of the dishwasher top cover. When the main support plate is not in use, the carrier moving platform is in a storage state, which reduces the height of the entire equipment and makes it easier to store and transport the equipment.

A bearing mating post 52 is fixedly installed on the bearing connecting rod 51. A channel mating post 53 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the bearing mating post 52. The channel mating post 53 is inserted into the annular mating channel 44 and contacts the inner wall of the annular mating channel 44.
[0034] like Figure 6 and Figure 8 As shown, the top cover locking mechanism includes a supporting moving platform 6, a stop movable bar 7, and a stop movable plate 8. The supporting moving platform 6 is movably connected to the moving drive frame 3. A lower protruding connecting block 61 is fixedly provided at the lower end of the supporting moving platform 6.

A limiting guide rod 291 is inserted into the insertion guide channel 67.
[0035] like Figure 7 As shown, the movable baffle 7 is installed on the carrier moving platform 6. The carrier moving platform 6 drives the movable baffle 7 to move. The movable baffle 7 limits the two ends of the dishwasher top cover 11. A movable support rod 70 is fixedly installed on the movable baffle 7, and an upper protruding connecting frame 71 is fixedly installed at one end of the movable baffle 7. A second driving connecting rod 72 is hinged on the upper protruding connecting frame 71, and an installation plug rod 73 is fixedly installed on the movable baffle 7 on the lower side of the upper protruding connecting frame 71. The installation plug rod 73 is inserted into the installation channel 64, and a connecting spring 74 is sleeved on the installation plug rod 73. The two ends of the connecting spring 74 are fixed on the carrier moving platform 6 and the movable baffle 7, respectively.
[0036] like Figure 7 and Figure 10As shown, the movable plate 8 is also installed on the carrier moving platform 6. The carrier moving platform 6 drives the movable plate 8 to move. The movable plate 8 limits the two sides of the dishwasher top cover 11. The movable plate 8 is symmetrically fixed with a carrier support column 82. The carrier support column 82 is provided with a carrier moving channel 83. A support limiting rod 63 is inserted into the carrier moving channel 83.
[0037] like Figure 7 As shown, the gear shift lever 7 is movably connected to the gear shift plate 8. When the gear shift lever 7 moves, it will also drive the gear shift plate 8 to move. A connecting bracket 81 is also fixedly provided on the gear shift plate 8. The connecting bracket 81 is hinged to the other end of the second driving link 72.
[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, when the moving drive frame 3 moves, it contacts the gear shift movable bar 7 and pushes the gear shift movable bar 7 to move. The moving receiving rod 70 on the gear shift movable bar 7 is inserted into the moving connecting hole 39 on the connecting mating block 38. When the gear shift movable bar 7 moves up and down, it will also drive the connecting mating block 38 to move up and down. When the connecting mating block 38 contacts the gear shift movable bar 7, it pushes the gear shift movable bar 7 to move.
[0039] When assembling the dishwasher top cover 11, first fix the main support plate 2 to the dishwasher body 1, and fix the main support plate 2 to both ends of the dishwasher body 1. When assembling the main support plate 2, make it contact with the end of the dishwasher body 1. At this time, the fitting wing plate 24 is in close contact with the side of the dishwasher body 1. Then, activate the electric telescopic rod 22 to drive the moving drive frame 3 to move towards the dishwasher body 1. As the moving drive frame 3 moves, it will drive the mating rack 32 to move. As the mating rack 32 moves, it will drive the rotating gear 4 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating gear 4 will also drive the connecting eccentric ring 43 to rotate. Since the connecting eccentric ring 43 and the rotating gear 4 are eccentrically set, the connecting eccentric ring 43 and the rotating gear 4 are eccentrically set. When the eccentric ring 43 rotates, it drives the channel mating post 53 to move under the action of the annular mating channel 44, which in turn drives the insertion cavity plate 5 to move further into the inner insertion cavity 26. Since the bonding wing plate 24 is tightly attached to the dishwasher body 1 at this time, a negative pressure can be formed in the inner insertion cavity 26 as the insertion cavity plate 5 moves. Under the action of the negative pressure, the assembly main support plate 2 can be firmly fixed to the dishwasher body 1. When the moving drive frame 3 moves, it pushes the bearing moving platform 6 upward under the action of the first driving connecting rod 35. As the bearing moving platform 6 moves upward, it can drive the stop moving bar 7 and the stop moving plate 8 upward, so that they are away from the dishwasher top cover 11 and the dishwasher body. At the connection point of 1, this effectively prevents the movable baffle 7 and movable baffle plate 8 from obstructing the fixation of the dishwasher body 1 and the dishwasher top cover 11 during assembly and installation. When the main support plate 2 is not in operation and is not installed on the dishwasher body 1, the supporting moving platform 6 is in a retracted state, thus minimizing the overall height of the main support plate 2, which facilitates storage and transportation. In addition, as the moving drive frame 3 moves further, the connecting mating block 38 on the moving drive frame 3 will come into contact with the movable baffle 7. Under the action of the connecting mating block 38, the movable baffle 7 will be pushed towards the dishwasher body 1. The movement, driven by the second drive linkage 72, pushes the movable baffle plate 8 to move, causing it to protrude from the outer side of the supporting moving platform 6. This positions the movable baffle bar 7 and the movable baffle plate 8 at their working points, allowing the dishwasher top cover 11 to be placed. During placement, the movable baffle bar 7 contacts the end faces of both ends of the dishwasher top cover 11, and the movable baffle plate 8 contacts the sides of the dishwasher top cover 11. This placement process restricts the position of the dishwasher top cover 11, ensuring it is accurately positioned on the dishwasher body 1 and in the correct assembly position. Then, the dishwasher top cover 11 can be assembled and fixed. During the assembly and fixing of the dishwasher top cover 11, the movable baffle bar 7 and the movable baffle plate 8 provide sufficient support.This prevents the dishwasher top cover 11 from moving, avoiding the hassle of manually fixing it and facilitating the assembly process. It also enables rapid positioning of the top cover 11, significantly improving assembly efficiency. Once the top cover 11 is assembled, the main support plate 2 can be removed from the dishwasher body 1. When removing the main support plate 2, the electric telescopic rod 22 is activated, moving the moving drive frame 3 away from the dishwasher body 1. This causes the mating rack 32 to move in the opposite direction. The forward movement will cause the rotating gear 4 to rotate in the opposite direction, which in turn will cause the insertion cavity plate 5 to move in the opposite direction under the action of the connecting eccentric ring 43. This will eliminate the negative pressure in the inner insertion cavity 26, allowing the assembly main support plate 2 to be released and removed from the dishwasher body 1. As the moving drive frame 3 moves in the opposite direction, the connecting spring 74 will cause the stop movable bar 7 to reset. Simultaneously, the supporting moving platform 6 and the stop movable plate 8 will also reset synchronously, putting the entire device in a stowed state for easy transfer and use, significantly improving the efficiency of manual assembly.
