Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of household appliances, in particular to a dishwasher. Background Art

[0002] As people's living standards improve, dishwashers, as a cleaning device for washing dishes, are becoming increasingly popular. Dishwashers wash dishes by introducing cleaning fluid into the dishwashing machine's interior, so that the dishes are cleaned by the cleaning fluid.

[0003] In the related art, in order to improve the cleaning effect of the dishwasher on the tableware, hot water of a certain temperature is usually used when the dishwasher washes the tableware, so as to clean the grease on the tableware with the hot water and disinfect the tableware.

[0004] In this way, after the dishwasher finishes cleaning the dishes, there will be a certain amount of water vapor in the inner tank. When the user opens the door of the dishwasher, the water vapor in the inner tank may scald the user, affecting the user's experience of using the dishwasher. Utility Model Content

[0005] An embodiment of the utility model provides a dishwasher, which is used to solve the problem that after the dishwasher finishes washing dishes, the water vapor in the inner tank may scald the user.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, in a first aspect of the present application, a dishwasher is provided, comprising a casing, a door body, a driving member and a pushing member. The casing is formed with a cavity with an opening on one side. The door body is arranged at the opening and is connected to the outside of the casing for opening or closing the opening. The pushing member comprises a rotating part and a pushing part. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the casing, and the driving member is connected to the pushing member for driving the rotating part to rotate. The pushing part is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating part and is connected to the rotating part, the pushing part can contact the door body, and the rotating part can drive the pushing part to move in the direction of the door body away from the casing, so that the pushing part drives the door body to open the opening.

[0007] With the above arrangement, after the dishwasher completes the cleaning process, the driving member can be activated to drive the rotating portion to rotate. Since the pushing member is connected to the rotating portion, when the rotating portion rotates, the pushing member moves in a direction away from the housing along with the rotation of the rotating portion. Moreover, since the pushing member can contact the door body, during the movement of the pushing member, the pushing member can drive the door body to move, thereby driving the door body to open. In this way, after the door body opens, water vapor in the cavity can flow through the opening to the outside of the dishwasher, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor in the cavity.

[0008] At the same time, air outside the dishwasher can also flow into the cavity through the opening, thereby reducing the temperature of the gas inside the cavity. In this way, when the user further opens the dishwasher door, the amount of water vapor has decreased, and the temperature of the water vapor has also dropped. This can reduce the user's exposure to the water vapor in the cavity, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of burns to the user, thereby improving the user's experience with the dishwasher.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the rotating portion includes a rotating plate rotatably connected to the housing, the rotating plate including a first connecting portion and a second connecting portion, the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion being spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating plate. A driving member is connected to the first connecting portion for driving the rotating plate to rotate. The second connecting portion is connected to the pushing portion.

[0010] Through the above arrangement, after the dishwashing work is completed, since the telescopic rod is connected to the first connecting part of the rotating plate, the driving part can drive the telescopic rod to move, so that the rotating plate rotates, and the pushing part is connected to the second connecting part of the rotating plate. Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating plate, the rotating plate can drive the pushing part to move, thereby driving the door body to open the opening.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the pushing portion is slidably connected to the housing, and the pushing portion is rotatably connected to the second connecting portion.

[0012] In this way, during the rotation of the rotating plate, the rotating plate will drive the pushing portion to slide, so that the pushing portion pushes the door body to open. Since the pushing portion is slidably connected to the housing, when the pushing portion pushes the door body to open, the pushing portion pushes the door body in a fixed direction to open the opening, thereby stably driving the door body to move, and then the door body can be stably opened.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the pushing portion includes a connecting member and an abutting member. The rotating portion is connected to the connecting member and is configured to drive the connecting member to move in a direction away from the door body from the housing. The abutting member is located on a side of the connecting member that is close to the door body and is capable of contacting the door body. The connecting member is connected to the abutting member and is configured to drive the abutting member to move in a direction away from the housing, so that the abutting member drives the door body to open.

[0014] In this way, the connecting piece can be connected to the rotating plate, and then the abutment piece can be set to an appropriate length. In this way, during the rotation of the rotating plate, the abutment piece can abut against the door body more quickly, thereby quickly opening the door body, so that the water vapor inside the cavity can be completely discharged outside the dishwasher earlier, thereby further reducing the possibility of users being scalded by the water vapor in the cavity.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the connecting member and the abutting member are spaced apart. The pushing portion further includes an elastic member disposed between the connecting member and the abutting member, and the elastic member contacts both the connecting member and the abutting member during the process of opening or closing the door.

[0016] Through the above arrangement, when the door body is opened by the pusher and the pusher has not been reset, if the user pushes the door body to close the opening at this time, the door body will apply pressure to the abutment. Since an elastic member is provided between the abutment and the connecting member, after the door body applies pressure to the abutment, it can push the abutment to move, so that the abutment applies pressure to the elastic member, and under the action of the abutment and the connecting member, the elastic member undergoes a certain deformation. In this way, the abutment will move smoothly under the squeezing action of the door body until it moves to a position that can ensure the normal closure of the door body. At this time, the door body closes the opening. In this way, through the provision of the elastic member, the opening can be closed normally when the pusher has not been reset, avoiding the door body from being blocked by the pusher, which can improve the user experience of the dishwasher.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving member includes a telescopic rod and a driving unit. One end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the rotating unit. The rotation axis of the telescopic rod relative to the rotating unit is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating unit relative to the housing, and perpendicular to the axis of the telescopic rod. The driving unit is connected to the other end of the telescopic rod and is configured to drive the telescopic rod to move axially along the telescopic rod.

[0018] In this way, the telescopic rod can be driven to extend and retract by the driving part, so that the telescopic rod applies a pushing force or a pulling force to the rotating part. Since one end of the telescopic rod is rotatably connected to the rotating part, the rotating part can rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating part after being subjected to the pushing force or the pulling force applied by the telescopic rod, thereby realizing the driving effect of the driving member on the rotating part.

[0019] In some embodiments of the present application, the driving part is a wax motor.

[0020] In this way, since the wax motor has good stability, after the dishwasher finishes working, the wax motor can ensure the normal movement of the telescopic rod to ensure the normal opening of the door.

[0021] In some embodiments of the present application, the axial direction of the rotation axis of the rotating member relative to the housing is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pushing portion relative to the housing.

[0022] In this way, the rotation direction of the rotating part and the sliding direction of the pushing part are located in the same plane. When connecting the rotating part and the pushing part, it is only necessary to ensure that the rotating part can drive the pushing part to move within the plane where the rotation direction of the rotating part and the sliding direction of the pushing part are located. This can simplify the structure of the rotating part and the pushing part and facilitate the setting of the pushing member.

[0023] In some embodiments of the present application, the housing includes a body and a fixing plate, wherein the fixing plate is connected to the body, and the driving member and the pushing member are respectively connected to the fixing plate.

[0024] With the above arrangement, when the driver and pusher are mounted on the housing, they can first be connected to the fixing plate, and then the fixing plate can be mounted on the housing body to achieve installation of the driver and pusher. In this way, since the dishwasher has a large installation space outside, the driver and pusher can be more conveniently mounted on the fixing plate, and then the fixing plate can be mounted on the housing body to achieve connection between the driver and pusher and the housing, thus facilitating installation of the driver and pusher.

[0025] In a second aspect of the present application, a dishwasher is provided, comprising a casing, a door body, a driving member and a pushing member. The casing is formed with a cavity with an opening on one side. The door body is provided at the opening and is connected to the outside of the casing for opening or closing the opening. The pushing member is provided on a side of the door body close to the casing, and the pushing member comprises a rotating part and a pushing part. The rotating part is rotatably connected to the casing, and the driving member is connected to the pushing member for driving the rotating part to rotate. The pushing part is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating part and is connected to the rotating part, the pushing part can contact the door body, and the rotating part can drive the pushing part to move in a direction in which the door body is away from the casing, so that the pushing part drives the door body to open the opening.

[0026] The dishwasher provided in the second aspect of this application can achieve the same beneficial effects as the above technical solution, so it will not be described in detail here. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

The specific meaning needs to be understood in conjunction with the context.

[0052] In the embodiments of this application, words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations, or explanations. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplarily" or "for example" in the embodiments of this application should not be interpreted as being preferred or advantageous over other embodiments or designs. Rather, the use of words such as "exemplarily" or "for example" is intended to present the relevant concepts in a concrete manner.

[0053] As people's living standards improve, dishwashers, as a cleaning device for washing dishes, are becoming increasingly popular. Dishwashers wash dishes by introducing cleaning fluid into the dishwashing machine's interior, so that the dishes are cleaned by the cleaning fluid.

[0054] Based on this, the present application provides a dishwasher, such as Figure 1 As shown, the dishwasher 01 includes a housing 1 , which forms a cavity with an opening on one side.

[0055] Specifically, the housing 1 includes a body 11, which includes an outer shell and an inner shell. The outer shell is formed with a receiving cavity and a first opening communicating with the receiving cavity. Exemplarily, the first opening is opened on one side of the outer shell in the horizontal direction.

[0056] The inner container is arranged in the accommodating cavity, and the inner container forms a cleaning cavity and a second opening communicated with the cleaning cavity. Tableware to be cleaned can be placed in the cleaning cavity through the second opening.

[0057] The second opening and the first opening have the same orientation, so that dishes to be washed can be placed into the cavity through the first opening and the second opening.

[0058] Exemplarily, the plane where the first opening is located coincides with the plane where the second opening is located.

[0059] Exemplarily, the plane where the first opening is located is parallel to the plane where the second opening is located. At this time, the distance between the plane where the first opening is located and the plane where the second opening is located is small, and the plane where the second opening is located is located on the side of the plane where the first opening is located close to the bottom wall surface of the cavity.

[0060] It should be noted that after the inner container and the outer shell are connected, the cleaning cavity in the inner container is the cavity formed by the shell, and the first opening and the second opening form the opening of the shell.

[0061] The dishwasher 01 further includes a door 4 connected to the opening for opening or closing the opening.

[0062] When the dishes to be washed need to be washed, the user can open the door 4 of the dishwasher 01, put the dishes to be washed into the cavity, then close the door 4, and start the corresponding program on the dishwasher 01, so that the dishwasher 01 can wash the dishes.

[0063] In order to improve the cleaning effect of the dishwasher 01 on tableware, when the dishwasher 01 washes the tableware, the cleaning water entering the cavity is usually heated so that the hot water can be used to clean the grease on the tableware and disinfect the tableware.

[0064] In this way, after the dishwasher 01 finishes washing the dishes, there will be a certain amount of water vapor in the cavity. If the user opens the door 4 of the dishwasher 01 at this time, the water vapor in the cavity will overflow from the opening, which may scald the user and affect the user's experience of using the dishwasher 01.

[0065] Based on this, Figure 1 As shown, the dishwasher 01 provided in this application further includes a driving member 2 and a pushing member 3. The pushing member 3 includes a rotating portion 31, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1. The driving member 2 is connected to the pushing member 3 to drive the rotating portion 31 to rotate.

[0066] In some examples, such as Figure 2 As shown, the driving member 2 includes a telescopic rod 21 and a driving portion 22. One end of the telescopic rod 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating portion 31. The rotation axis of the telescopic rod 21 relative to the rotating portion 31 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating portion 31 relative to the housing 1, and is perpendicular to the axis of the telescopic rod 21.

[0067] The driving portion 22 is connected to the other end of the telescopic rod 21 and is used to drive the telescopic rod 21 to move along the axial direction of the telescopic rod 21 .

[0068] It should be noted that the axis of the telescopic rod 21 does not intersect with the rotation axis of the rotating portion 31 relative to the housing 1 .

[0069] In this way, the telescopic rod 21 can be driven to extend or retract by the driving part 22, so that the telescopic rod 21 applies a push or pull force to the rotating part 31. Since one end of the telescopic rod 21 is rotatably connected to the rotating part 31, the rotating part 31 can rotate around the rotation axis of the rotating part 31 after being subjected to the push or pull force applied by the telescopic rod 21, thereby realizing the driving effect of the driving member 2 on the rotating part 31.

[0070] like Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, the pushing member 3 also includes a pushing portion 32, which is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating portion 31 and connected to the rotating portion 31. The pushing portion 32 can contact the door body 4, and the rotating portion 31 can drive the pushing portion 32 to move along the direction of the door body 4 away from the casing 1, so that the pushing portion 32 drives the door body 4 to open the opening.

[0071] For example, Figure 3 As shown, the pusher 3 is provided on a side of the door body 4 close to the housing 1. At this time, the pusher 3 may be connected to the door body 4 or not.

[0072] When the pusher 3 is connected to the door body 4, the rotating part 31 drives the pushing part 32 to move along the direction of the door body 4 away from the casing 1, so that the pusher 3 can push the door body 4 to move along the direction of the door body 4 away from the casing 1, thereby opening the door body 4.

[0073] When the pusher 3 is disconnected from the door body 4 and the door body 4 is closed, the pusher 3 can be out of contact with the door body 4. At this time, the rotating portion 31 drives the pusher 32 to move in a direction away from the housing 1 along the door body 4, gradually approaching the door body 4 and eventually contacting the door body 4. The pusher 32 then continues to move, pushing the door body 4 to open.

[0074] In addition, when the pusher 3 is not connected to the door body 4, the pusher 3 can still be in contact with the door body when the door body 4 closes the opening.

[0075] In some examples, the pusher 3 and the driving member 2 can be connected to the inner side of the housing 1, for example, disposed in the accommodating cavity and located outside the inner container.

[0076] In some examples, the pushing member 3 and the driving member 2 may also be connected to the outside of the housing 1 .

[0077] For example, the pusher 3 is disposed on a side of the door 4 away from the housing 1. The pusher 3 is connected to the door 4. When the rotating portion 31 drives the pusher 32 to move in a direction away from the housing 1, the pusher 32 can pull the door 4 in a direction away from the housing 1, thereby causing the pusher 32 to pull the door 4 to open.

[0078] Through the above-mentioned arrangement, after the dishwasher 01 completes the cleaning work, the driving part 2 can be started to drive the rotating part 31 to rotate. Since the pushing part 32 is connected to the rotating part 31, when the rotating part 31 rotates, the pushing part 32 will move along the direction of the door body 4 away from the casing 1 as the rotating part 31 rotates, and since the pushing part 32 can contact the door body 4, during the movement of the pushing part 32, the pushing part 32 can drive the door body 4 to move, thereby driving the door body 4 to open the opening.

[0079] In this way, after the door 4 opens, the water vapor in the cavity can flow from the opening to the outside of the dishwasher 01, thereby reducing the amount of water vapor in the cavity.

[0080] At the same time, the air outside the dishwasher 01 can also flow from the opening into the cavity, thereby reducing the temperature of the gas in the cavity.

[0081] In this way, when the user further opens the door 4 of the dishwasher 01, the amount of water vapor has decreased and the temperature of the water vapor has also decreased, which can reduce the impact of the water vapor in the cavity on the user, and thus greatly reduce the possibility of the user being scalded, thereby improving the user's experience of using the dishwasher 01.

[0082] When the door body 4 is closing, it is only necessary to make the driving member 2 drive the rotating part 31 to rotate in the opposite direction (that is, in the direction opposite to the rotation direction of the rotating part 31 when the door body 4 is opening), and drive the pushing part 32 to move in the direction of the door body 4 approaching the casing 1, so that the pushing part 32 is reset. This can avoid the door body 4 being blocked by the pushing part 32 when closing, thereby making it convenient for the user to push the door body 4 in the direction of the door body 4 approaching the casing 1, so that the door body 4 can be closed normally.

[0083] It should be noted that the installation positions of the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 on the casing 1 can be appropriately adjusted as needed. It is only necessary to ensure that when the driving member 2 drives the rotating part 31 to rotate, the rotating part 31 can drive the pushing member 3 to move along the direction of the door body 4 away from the casing 1. This can improve the flexibility of setting the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 on the casing 1.

[0084] Based on the above, in some embodiments, such as Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the housing 1 further includes a fixing plate 12, which is connected to the body 11. For example, the fixing plate 12 can be connected to the inner container or the outer shell.

[0085] The driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 are respectively connected to the fixing plate 12 .

[0086] Through the above arrangement, when installing the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 on the casing 1, the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 can be first connected to the fixing plate 12, and then the fixing plate 12 can be installed on the main body 11 of the casing 1, thereby realizing the installation of the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3.

[0087] In this way, since there is a large installation space outside the dishwasher 01, the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 can be installed on the fixing plate 12 more conveniently, and then the fixing plate 12 can be installed on the main body 11 to achieve the connection between the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 and the casing 1, which can facilitate the installation of the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3.

[0088] In some embodiments, the rotating portion 31 includes a rotating rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the telescopic rod 21 , the other end of which is rotatably connected to the pushing portion 32 , and the rotating rod is rotatably connected to the housing 1 .

[0089] In other embodiments, Figure 6As shown, the rotating portion 31 includes a rotating plate 311 , and the rotating plate 311 is rotatably connected to the housing 1 .

[0090] Specifically, if Figure 7 As shown, a connecting through hole 3113 is formed on the rotating plate 311. A fixing shaft 126 is connected to the fixing plate 12. The fixing shaft 126 at least partially extends into the connecting through hole 3113 and is rotatably connected to the connecting through hole 3113.

[0091] It can be understood that the rotation axis of the connecting plate coincides with the axis of the fixed shaft 126 .

[0092] The rotating plate 311 includes a first connecting portion 3111, which is spaced apart from the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311. The driving member 2 is connected to the first connecting portion 3111 to drive the rotating plate 311 to rotate.

[0093] Specifically, if Figure 8 As shown, the telescopic rod 21 includes a connecting rod 211 and a clamping protrusion 212 . One end of the connecting rod 211 is connected to the driving portion 22 , and the clamping protrusion 212 is connected to the end of the connecting rod 211 away from the driving portion 22 .

[0094] like Figure 8 、 Figure 9 As shown, the first connecting portion 3111 includes a groove 31A, the opening of which faces the telescopic rod 21 and extends through the rotating plate 311 along the rotation axis of the rotating member. The engaging protrusion 212 is located within the groove 31A, and the connecting rod 211 is at least partially located within the groove 31A, with the connecting rod 211 partially extending out of the groove 31A through the opening of the groove 31A.

[0095] Along a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311 and perpendicular to the axial direction of the telescopic rod 21, the maximum dimension between the inner walls on both sides of the groove 31A is larger than the dimension of the opening of the groove 31A, and the minimum dimension of the locking protrusion 212 is larger than the dimension of the opening of the groove 31A.

[0096] In this way, when the driving part 22 drives the telescopic rod 21 to push the rotating plate 311 , the engaging protrusion 212 contacts the bottom wall of the groove 31A and applies a thrust to the rotating plate 311 , thereby pushing the rotating plate 311 to rotate.

[0097] When the driving unit 22 drives the telescopic rod 21 to pull the rotating plate 311 to rotate, the minimum size of the engaging protrusion 212 is larger than the size of the opening of the groove 31A, so the engaging protrusion 212 cannot extend out of the groove 31A along the depth direction of the groove 31A.

[0098] In this way, the locking protrusion 212 will contact the inner wall surfaces on both sides of the opening of the groove 31A, and under the driving action of the driving part 22, the locking protrusion 212 will apply a pulling force to the rotating plate 311 along the direction of the groove 31A pointing to the driving part 22, thereby pulling the rotating plate 311 to rotate.

[0099] In some examples, such as Figure 8 As shown, the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 are located on the side of the door body 4 close to the casing 1, and the driving part 22 is located on the side of the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311 away from the pushing part 32, and is located on the side of the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311 away from the door body 4.

[0100] In this way, the driving part 22 can push the telescopic rod 21 to move in the direction close to the rotating plate 311, and the telescopic rod 21 will apply a thrust to the rotating plate 311, so that the end of the rotating plate 311 connected to the pushing part 32 rotates along the direction of the casing 1 close to the door body 4, thereby driving the pushing part 32 to move along the direction of the casing 1 close to the door body 4, so that the pushing part 32 pushes the door body 4 to open the opening.

[0101] When the door body needs to be closed, the driving part 22 can push the telescopic rod 21 to move away from the rotating plate 311. The telescopic rod 21 will apply a pulling force to the rotating plate 311, so that the end of the rotating plate 311 connected to the pushing part 32 moves along the direction of the casing 1 away from the door body 4, thereby driving the pushing part 32 to reset and ensure the normal closing of the door body 4.

[0102] In other examples, such as Figure 10 As shown, the driving member 2 and the pushing member 3 are located on the side of the door body 4 close to the casing 1, and the driving part 22 is located on the side of the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311 close to the pushing part 32, and is located on the side of the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311 close to the door body 4.

[0103] In this way, the driving part 22 can push the telescopic rod 21 to move away from the rotating plate 311, and the telescopic rod 21 will apply a pulling force to the rotating plate 311, so that the end of the rotating plate 311 connected to the pushing part 32 moves along the direction of the casing 1 approaching the door body 4, thereby driving the pushing part 32 to move along the direction of the casing 1 approaching the door body 4, thereby opening the door body 4.

[0104] For example, the driving member 2 can be an electric push rod, wherein the driving portion 22 is the device of the electric push rod (i.e., the part that acts as a power), and the telescopic rod 21 is the push rod of the electric push rod.

[0105] For example, the driving part 22 can be a wax motor, which drives the telescopic rod 21 to move along the axial direction of the telescopic rod 21. Since the wax motor has good stability, after the dishwasher 01 completes its work, the wax motor can ensure the normal movement of the telescopic rod 21 to ensure the normal opening of the door body 4.

[0106] It should be noted that the wax motor includes a sealed shell and solid wax located inside the sealed shell. A docking hole is opened on the sealed shell, and the telescopic rod 21 partially extends into the sealed shell through the docking hole. The telescopic rod 21 is slidably connected to the sealed shell and seals the docking hole.

[0107] The wax motor also includes a thermistor, which is located in a sealed shell. When the thermistor is energized, it generates heat. The solid wax inside the sealed shell absorbs the heat generated by the thermistor and melts, causing its volume to expand, thereby pushing the telescopic rod 21 away from the wax motor, thereby realizing the driving function of the wax motor.

[0108] In some examples, such as Figure 11 As shown, the fixed plate 12 is connected to a first baffle 121, a second baffle 122 and a third baffle 123. The first baffle 121 and the second baffle 122 are arranged opposite to each other, and the thickness direction of the first baffle 121 and the thickness direction of the second baffle 122 are both perpendicular to the axial direction of the telescopic rod 21 and perpendicular to the thickness direction of the fixed plate 12. The third baffle is connected between the first baffle 121 and the second baffle 122, and is located on the side of the driving part 22 away from the telescopic rod 21.

[0109] A mounting groove 12A is formed between the first baffle 121 , the second baffle 122 , the third baffle, and the fixing plate 12 . The driving portion 22 is snapped into the mounting groove 12A, thereby fixing the driving portion 22 on the fixing plate 12 .

[0110] like Figure 10 As shown, the rotating plate 311 includes a second connecting portion 3112 , which is spaced apart from the rotating axis of the rotating plate 311 . The second connecting portion 3112 is connected to the pushing portion 32 .

[0111] Through the above arrangement, after the dishwashing work is completed, since the telescopic rod 21 is connected to the first connecting portion 3111 of the rotating plate 311, the driving portion 22 can drive the telescopic rod 21 to move, so that the rotating plate 311 rotates, and the pushing portion 32 is connected to the second connecting portion 3112 of the rotating plate 311. Therefore, during the rotation of the rotating plate 311, the rotating plate 311 can drive the pushing portion 32 to move, thereby driving the door body 4 to open the opening.

[0112] Exemplarily, the connection between the second connecting portion 3112 and the pushing portion 32 may be a fixed connection, that is, during the rotation of the rotating plate 311 , the pushing portion 32 rotates along with the rotation of the rotating plate 311 .

[0113] Exemplarily, the second connection portion 3112 and the pushing portion 32 may be connected in a movable manner. Specifically, the pushing portion 32 is connected to the housing 1 in a sliding manner, and the pushing portion 32 is connected to the second connection portion 3112 in a rotational manner.

[0114] In this way, when the rotating plate 311 rotates, the rotating plate 311 drives the pushing portion 32 to slide, so that the pushing portion 32 pushes the door body 4 to open. Since the pushing portion 32 is slidably connected to the housing 1, when the pushing portion 32 pushes the door body 4 to open, the pushing portion 32 pushes the door body 4 in a fixed direction to open the opening, thereby stably driving the door body 4 to move, and then the door body 4 can be stably opened.

[0115] Exemplarily, the sliding direction of the pushing portion 32 relative to the housing 1 is perpendicular to the plane where the opening is located.

[0116] For example, the sliding direction of the push portion 32 relative to the housing 1 is inclined relative to the plane of the opening. That is, the angle between the sliding direction of the push portion 32 relative to the housing 1 and the plane of the opening is greater than 0° and less than 90°, for example, the angle is 20°, 30°, 40°, 50°, 60°, 70°, or 80°.

[0117] In some examples, such as Figure 12 、 Figure 13 As shown, a fourth baffle 124 and a fifth baffle 125 are connected to the fixed plate 12. The thickness of the fourth baffle 124 and the fifth baffle 125 are consistent and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the push portion 32. A sliding groove 12B is formed between the fourth baffle 124, the fifth baffle 125 and the fixed plate 12, and the push portion 32 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 12B, thereby achieving a sliding connection between the push portion 32 and the fixed plate 12.

[0118] In some embodiments, the axial direction of the rotating member relative to the rotation axis of the housing 1 is perpendicular to the sliding direction of the pushing portion 32 relative to the housing 1 .

[0119] In this way, the rotation direction of the rotating part 31 and the sliding direction of the pushing part 32 are located in the same plane. When connecting the rotating part 31 and the pushing part 32, it is only necessary to ensure that the rotating part 31 can drive the pushing part 32 to move within the plane where the rotation direction of the rotating part 31 and the sliding direction of the pushing part 32 are located. This can simplify the structure of the rotating part 31 and the pushing part 32, and facilitate the setting of the pushing member 3.

[0120] Based on the above, in some embodiments, such as Figure 14 、 Figure 15As shown, the second connecting portion 3112 includes a first limiting protrusion 32A and a second limiting protrusion 32B. The first limiting protrusion 32A and the second limiting protrusion 32B are located on the side of the rotating plate 311 close to the pushing portion 32, and are arranged at intervals along a direction perpendicular to the rotating axis of the rotating plate 311. The first limiting protrusion 32A is located on the side of the second limiting protrusion 32B away from the door body 4.

[0121] A clamping column 321 is formed on the pushing portion 32, and the axial direction of the clamping column 321 is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311. The clamping column 321 is located between the first limiting protrusion 32A and the second limiting protrusion 32B.

[0122] Through the above arrangement, when the opening needs to be opened, the driving member 2 drives the rotating plate 311 to rotate, and the first limiting protrusion 32A is close to the side wall of the door body 4 and abuts against the clamping column 321 to push the clamping column 321 to move along the direction of the casing 1 close to the door body 4, so that the pushing part 32 pushes the door body 4 to open the opening.

[0123] When the opening needs to be closed, the driving member 2 drives the rotating plate 311 to rotate, and the side wall of the second limiting protrusion 32B away from the door body 4 abuts against the clamping column 321 to push the clamping column 321 to move along the direction of the casing 1 away from the door body 4, so that the pushing part 32 is reset, thereby ensuring the normal closing of the door body 4.

[0124] In other embodiments, the second connecting portion 3112 includes a latching hole, the axial direction of which is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311. A latching post 321 is formed on the pushing portion 32, the axial direction of which is parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311. The latching post 321 at least partially extends into the latching hole and is movably connected to the latching hole.

[0125] It should be noted that the size of the engaging hole must ensure that the engaging post 321 can be pushed by the inner wall of the engaging hole and slide in a straight line when the rotating plate 311 rotates. For example, the diameter of the engaging hole can be larger than the diameter of the engaging post 321. For example, if the engaging hole is an oblong hole, the engaging post 321 can slide along the extending direction of the engaging hole during the rotation of the rotating plate, thereby preventing the engaging post 321 from being restricted by the engaging hole and becoming stuck.

[0126] In this way, when opening or closing the opening, the inner wall surface of the clamping hole can abut against the peripheral wall surface of the clamping column 321, and the normal closing or opening of the opening can also be achieved.

[0127] In order to facilitate the contact between the pushing portion 32 and the door body 4, in some embodiments, such as Figure 16As shown, the pushing portion 32 includes a connecting member 322 and an abutting member 323. The rotating portion 31 is connected to the connecting member 322, and is used to drive the connecting member 322 to move along the direction in which the door body 4 moves away from the housing 1. Specifically, the clamping column 321 is located on the connecting member 322.

[0128] The abutment 323 is located on the side of the connecting member 322 close to the door body 4 and can contact the door body 4. The connecting member 322 is connected to the abutment 323 to drive the abutment 323 to move along the direction of the door body 4 away from the casing 1, so that the abutment 323 drives the door body 4 to open the opening.

[0129] Exemplarily, the connecting member 322 may be a connecting block or a connecting column.

[0130] Exemplarily, the abutment member 323 may be an abutment block or an abutment column.

[0131] Exemplarily, the connecting member 322 and the abutting member 323 may be an integral structure or a separate structure.

[0132] In this way, the connecting member 322 can be connected to the rotating plate 311, and then the abutment 323 can be set to an appropriate length. In this way, during the rotation of the rotating plate 311, the abutment 323 can abut against the door body 4 more quickly, thereby quickly opening the door body 4, so that the water vapor inside the cavity can be completely discharged to the outside of the dishwasher 01 earlier, thereby further reducing the possibility of the user being scalded by the water vapor in the cavity.

[0133] In some examples, such as Figure 16 、 Figure 17 As shown, the connecting member 322 includes a first sub-plate 3221, a second sub-plate 3222, and a third sub-plate 3223. The first sub-plate 3221 and the second sub-plate 3222 are arranged opposite each other, and the thickness directions of the first sub-plate 3221 and the second sub-plate 3222 are both parallel to the rotation axis of the rotating plate 311. The third sub-plate 3223 is connected between the first sub-plate 3221 and the second sub-plate 3222, and is located on the side of the first sub-plate 3221 and the second sub-plate 3222 that is closest to the abutment member 323. The third sub-plate 3223 is connected to the abutment member 323.

[0134] like Figure 17 、 Figure 18 As shown, the clamping post 321 is clamped between the first sub-plate 3221 and the second sub-plate 3222, and is located on a side of the third sub-plate 3223 away from the abutment member 323, and is spaced apart from the third sub-plate 3223. The first limiting protrusion 32A is located on a side of the clamping post 321 away from the third sub-plate 3223, and the second limiting protrusion 32B is located between the third sub-plate 3223 and the clamping post 321.

[0135] When the door body 4 is opened by the pusher 3 and the pusher 3 has not been reset, if the user pushes the door body 4 to close the opening, the door body 4 will be blocked by the pusher 3 and cannot be closed, which may affect the user's experience of using the dishwasher 01.

[0136] In order to avoid the above problems, in some embodiments, as Figure 19 、 Figure 20 As shown, the connecting member 322 is spaced apart from the abutting member 323. The pushing portion 32 further includes an elastic member 324, which is disposed between the connecting member 322 and the abutting member 323, and in the process of opening or closing the door body 4, the elastic member 324 contacts both the connecting member 322 and the abutting member 323.

[0137] Illustratively, the elastic member 324 may be a spring, or a rubber column, a rubber block, etc.

[0138] With the above arrangement, when the door body 4 is opened by the pushing member 3 and the pushing member 3 has not been reset, if the user pushes the door body 4 to close the opening at this time, the door body 4 will apply pressure to the abutment 323. Since an elastic member 324 is provided between the abutment 323 and the connecting member 322, after the door body 4 applies pressure to the abutment 323, it can push the abutment 323 to move, so that the abutment 323 applies pressure to the elastic member 324, so that under the action of the abutment 323 and the connecting member 322, the elastic member 324 undergoes a certain deformation. In this way, the abutment 323 will move smoothly under the squeezing action of the door body 4 until it moves to a position that can ensure the normal closure of the door body 4. At this time, the door body 4 closes the opening.

[0139] In this way, by setting the elastic member 324, the opening can be normally closed when the push member 3 is not reset, avoiding the door body 4 from being blocked by the push member 3, thereby improving the user experience of the dishwasher 01.

[0140] At the same time, when the door body 4 is pushed to open the opening by the pushing portion 32 and the connecting member 322 moves along the direction of the casing 1 close to the door body 4, the elastic member 324 can buffer the connecting member 322 to prevent the connecting member 322 from applying too much thrust to the abutting member 323, thereby preventing the abutting member 323 from causing damage to the door body 4.

[0141] Illustratively, the elastic member 324 may be connected to both the abutting member 323 and the connecting member 322 .

[0142] For example, the elastic member 324 may be disconnected from both the abutting member 323 and the connecting member 322 .

[0143] For example, a first limiting groove is formed on the end of the elastic member 324 proximal to the abutting member 323, and a second limiting groove is formed on the end of the elastic member 324 proximal to the connecting member 322. A first limiting post is connected to the side of the abutting member 323 proximal to the elastic member 324, and a second limiting post is connected to the side of the connecting member 322 proximal to the elastic member 324. The first limiting post partially extends into the first limiting groove, and the second limiting post partially extends into the second limiting groove, thereby confining the elastic member 324 between the abutting member 323 and the connecting member 322.

[0144] For example, a third limiting groove is formed on the side of the abutting member 323 that is close to the elastic member 324, and a fourth limiting groove is formed on the side of the connecting member 322 that is close to the elastic member 324. The end of the elastic member 324 that is close to the abutting member 323 extends into the third limiting groove, and the end of the elastic member 324 that is close to the connecting member 322 extends into the fourth limiting groove, thereby confining the elastic member 324 between the abutting member 323 and the connecting member 322.

[0145] For example, the elastic member 324 may be connected to one of the abutting member 323 and the connecting member 322 , and not connected to the other one of the abutting member 323 and the connecting member 322 .
