[0048] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present application clearer, the following part will further describe the embodiments of the present application in detail in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0049] When the following description refers to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements.

For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances. In addition, in the description of the present application, unless otherwise specified, "multiple" refers to two or more. "And / or" describes the association relationship of associated objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A exists alone, A and B exist at the same time, and B exists alone. The character " / " generally indicates that the objects associated before and after are in an "or" relationship.

[0051] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used in this specification are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.

[0052] In one aspect, the present application provides a dishwasher 1000 that can be used to automatically wash dishes. Figure 1 The dishwasher 1000 includes a dishwasher body 200 and a skirting board assembly 100. In some embodiments, the dishwasher body 200 is installed by being embedded in a kitchen cabinet. There is still a certain distance between the door body of the dishwasher body 200 and the installation surface. In order to improve the aesthetics, the skirting board assembly 100 is arranged at the bottom of the dishwasher body 200.

[0053] In the related art, the skirting board assembly 100 and the dishwasher 1000 are generally fixedly installed, and the exposed parts of different dishwashers 1000 have different sizes, so different skirting boards 50 need to be produced for different dishwashers 1000, the product variety is relatively complicated, and the production design cost is high.

[0054] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides a skirting board assembly 100. Figures 1 to 3 The skirting board assembly 100 includes a fixed frame 10, a movable frame 30 and a skirting board 50. For the convenience of description, the dishwasher 1000 of the embodiment of the present application is defined to have a left-right direction XX, a front-back direction YY and an up-down direction ZZ.

[0055] The fixing frame 10 is used to be fixedly connected to the dishwasher body 200. In some embodiments, the fixing frame 10 is generally in the shape of a long strip and has a length direction, and the length direction of the fixing frame 10 is arranged in the same direction as the front-back direction YY. One end of the fixing frame 10 is fixedly connected to the dishwasher body 200, and the other end is connected to the movable frame 30, so that the movable frame 30 can be closer to the front side of the dishwasher body 200, which is conducive to achieving the integration of the skirting board 50 and the dishwasher body 200.

[0056] Optionally, the fixing frame 10 includes a fixing seat 11 and an installation arm 13, the fixing seat 11 is connected to the movable frame 30, one end of the installation arm 13 is connected to the fixing seat 11, and the other end extends away from the fixing seat 11 along the front-back direction YY, and the end of the installation arm 13 away from the fixing seat 11 is connected to the dishwasher body 200. To facilitate the disassembly and assembly of the fixing frame 10, the installation arm 13 can be connected to the dishwasher body 200 in a plug-in manner, and can be fixed and limited in position by a clamping or bolting manner.

[0057] The movable frame 30 is connected to one end of the fixed frame 10 away from the dishwasher body 200, and is used to provide a mounting base for the skirting board 50 while being movable relative to the fixed frame 10. The movable frame 30 can move relative to the fixed frame 10 in a first direction, and can be fixed relative to the fixed frame 10. Among them, the first direction can be set in the same direction as the up and down direction YY. That is to say, the movable frame 30 can be moved relative to the fixed frame 10 to adjust the relative position of the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10 in the first direction. After the adjustment is completed, the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10 are fixed in a limited position so that the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10 can be relatively stationary. For example, the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10 can be slidably connected by sleeve connection and the like, and can be connected by clamping and the like to be fixed in a limited position. Of course, under the premise that the movable frame 30 can move relative to the fixed frame 10 in the first direction and can be fixed relative to the fixed frame 10, the embodiment of the present application does not limit the connection method of the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10.

[0058] The skirting board 50 is connected to the side of the movable frame 30 away from the fixed frame 10, and is generally in the shape of a long strip, and the length direction of the skirting board 50 is in the same direction as the horizontal direction XX. The skirting board 50 is used to supplement and cover the exposed part of the bottom of the dishwasher body 200 to improve the aesthetics of the dishwasher 1000. Optionally, the skirting board 50 can be made of plastic or metal, and can be integrally formed by extrusion molding, which has high processing efficiency and good integrity. The color and style of the skirting board 50 can be the same as the dishwasher body 200 to improve the integrity of the dishwasher 1000, or the color and style of the skirting board 50 can be different from the dishwasher body 200 to achieve differentiated style settings, which is not required in the embodiments of the present application. It can be understood that the skirting board 50 can move with the movable frame 30 relative to the fixed frame 10. Since the fixed frame 10 is fixedly connected to the dishwasher body 200, when the movable frame 30 moves along the first direction relative to the fixed frame 10, the skirting board 50 can also change its position relative to the dishwasher body 200 in the first direction.

[0059] Further, the skirting board 50 of the embodiment of the present application is also movably connected to the movable frame 30. The skirting board 50 can move along the second direction relative to the movable frame 30, the second direction is set at an angle with the first direction, and the skirting board 50 can be fixed relative to the movable frame 30. Exemplarily, the first direction is set along the up-down direction ZZ, and the second direction is set along the left-right direction XX. The skirting board 50 and the movable frame 30 can be movably connected by sleeve connection, magnetic connection, etc., so that the skirting board 50 can move along the left-right direction XX relative to the movable frame 30, so that the skirting board 50 can change its position relative to the dishwasher body 200 in the left-right direction XX (second direction). In this example, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other, and the position change of the skirting board 50 along the first direction and the second direction is more intuitive, and it is convenient to perform quantitative and precise adjustment. Of course, the first direction can also be set along the left-right direction XX, and the second direction can be set along the up-down direction ZZ, or the first direction and the second direction can also be set at an acute angle, which can also make the skirting board 50 change its position in two directions relative to the dishwasher body 200.

[0060] It is understandable that the skirting board 50 and the movable frame 30 can be adjusted independently. That is, the movable frame 30 can be moved independently relative to the fixed frame 10 to achieve the change of the position of the skirting board 50 relative to the dishwasher body 200 along the first direction; the skirting board 50 can also be moved independently relative to the movable frame 30 to achieve the change of the position of the skirting board 50 relative to the dishwasher body 200 along the second direction; of course, the skirting board 50 and the movable frame 30 can also be adjusted at the same time to achieve the change of the skirting board 50 relative to the dishwasher body 200 along the first direction and the second direction.

[0061] In the embodiment of the present application, the skirting board assembly 100 is connected to the fixed frame 10 by a movable frame 30 and a skirting board 50 connected to the movable frame 30, so that the skirting board 50 can change its position relative to the fixed frame 10 in two different directions, namely, a first direction and a second direction. When the fixed frame 10 is fixedly connected to the main body of the home appliance (the dishwasher main body 200), the skirting board 50 can change its position relative to the main body of the home appliance, so that it can adapt to different installation environments. For example, if the chassis where the home appliance is installed is high, the height of the skirting board 50 can be increased by adjusting the position of the movable frame 30 relative to the fixed frame 10, so as to adapt to the higher chassis; for another example, when the skirting board assembly 100 is applied to different home appliance platforms (the dishwasher 1000 platform), different home appliance platforms may have different installation positions of the skirting board 50. The skirting board assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application can adjust the position of the skirting board 50 relative to the main body of the home appliance, so that the skirting board 50 can adapt to different home appliance platforms. It can be seen that the skirting board assembly 100 of the embodiment of the present application improves the applicability of the skirting board 50, so there is no need to produce different skirting boards 50 for different home appliance platforms and installation environments, which effectively reduces the product variety. This not only avoids the need to design and produce a large variety of products and reduces design and production costs, but also facilitates management and adaptation.

[0062] The skirting board assembly 100 is further explained below using the application of the dishwasher 1000 .

[0063] In order to realize the relative movement of the movable frame 30 with respect to the fixed frame 10, the movable frame 30 is slidably connected to the fixed frame 10. Figures 4 to 6 In some embodiments, the fixing seat 11 of the fixing frame 10 includes a fixing body 111 and a first guide portion 113 connected to the fixing body 111, and the movable frame 30 includes a movable body 31 and a second guide portion 33 connected to the movable body 31. The fixing body 111 is used to be fixedly connected to the dishwasher body 200, and the movable body 31 is arranged on a side of the fixing body 111 away from the dishwasher body 200. At least one of the first guide portion 113 and the second guide portion 33 is extended along the first direction, and the first guide portion 113 is slidably connected to the second guide portion 33. Through the guiding cooperation of the first guide portion 113 and the second guide portion 33, the movable frame 30 can move relatively stably relative to the fixing frame 10.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The first guide portion 113 is provided with a slide groove 113a extending along the first direction, and the second guide portion 33 is provided with a guide rail 3311 extending along the first direction, and the guide rail 3311 is slidably arranged in the slide groove 113a to achieve sliding connection between the first guide portion 113 and the second guide portion 33. In order to further improve stability, the first guide portion 113 is provided with at least two slide grooves 113a in parallel, and the second guide portion 33 includes at least two guide rails 3311 arranged in parallel, and the at least two guide rails 3311 are slidably accommodated in the at least two slide grooves 113a in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the first guide portion 113 includes two first hooks 1131, and the two first hooks 1131 are connected to the surface of the fixed body 111 facing the movable frame 30. The fixed body 111 is generally block-shaped, and the two first hooks 1131 are arranged at intervals on the left and right sides of the fixed body 111 along the left-right direction XX. Optionally, the first hook 1131 can be arranged in a generally "L" shape, one end of which is connected to the fixed body 111, and the other end is arranged at intervals from the fixed body 111, and defines the above-mentioned slide groove 113a with the fixed body 111. The first hook 1131 is extended along the first direction (up-down direction ZZ) to cooperate with the fixed body 111 to define the slide groove 113a extending along the first direction. The two first hooks 1131 are arranged side by side, and the ends of the two first hooks 1131 away from the fixed body 111 can be extended in the same direction, towards each other, or opposite to each other.

[0066] Similarly, the second guide portion 33 includes two second hooks 331, and the two second hooks 331 are connected to the surface of the movable body 31 facing the fixed body 111. The two first hooks 1131 are arranged at intervals on the left and right sides of the fixed body 111 along the left-right direction XX. The second hook 331 can also be arranged in a roughly "L" shape, one end of which is connected to the movable body 31, and the other end is formed as the above-mentioned guide rail 3311 and extends into the above-mentioned slide groove 113a, so as to realize the hooking of the first hook 1131 and the second hook 331, and thereby limit the movement of the movable body 31 from the fixed frame 10. When the movable body 31 moves along the first direction relative to the fixed frame 10, the second hook 331 moves along the first direction relative to the first hook 1131.

[0067] Furthermore, the guide rail 3311 can also be extended along the first direction and have a length roughly equivalent to the slide groove 113a, so that the guide rail 3311 has a larger contact area with the wall surface in the slide groove 113a, which can more effectively improve the stability of the movable frame 30 during movement and have a higher connection strength.

[0068] In this embodiment, the sliding connection between the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10 is achieved by the cooperation of two guide rails 3311 and two slide grooves 113a, which has high stability. When assembling the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10, the guide rail 3311 can be extended from one end of the slide groove 113a into the slide groove 113a, and the assembly is also convenient.

[0069] Of course, the present application does not limit the structural shapes of the first hook 1131 and the second hook 331, for example, they may also be in a "J" shape, etc. Moreover, under the premise of achieving the sliding cooperation between the first guide portion 113 and the second guide portion 33, the present application does not limit the structural form of the slide groove 113a and the guide rail 3311, and the structural form may also be that the first guide portion 113 is provided with a guide rail 3311, and the second guide portion 33 is provided with a slide groove 113a, etc.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 In order to achieve the relative fixation between the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10, in one embodiment, the fixed frame 10 is further provided with a first limiting portion 115, and the movable frame 30 is provided with a second limiting portion 35, the second limiting portion 35 can be connected with the first limiting portion 115, and can move relative to the first limiting portion 115 along the first direction. Among them, at least one of the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion 35 has a plurality of sub-portions arranged along the first direction, so that the second limiting portion 35 can be connected with the first limiting portion 115 at a plurality of positions. For example, the first limiting portion 115 includes a plurality of first sub-portions 1151 arranged along the first direction, the second limiting portion 35 can be connected with one of the first sub-portions 1151, and can be connected with another first sub-portion 1151 after changing its position relative to the first limiting portion 115 along the first direction.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 5 In one embodiment, the first limit portion 115 is connected to the side of the fixed body 111 provided with the first guide portion 113, and the second limit portion 35 is connected to the side of the movable body 31 provided with the second guide portion 33. The first limit portion 115 is located between at least two slide grooves 113a, and the second limit portion 35 is located between at least two guide rails 3311. Figure 5 and Figure 6 It can be seen that there is sufficient space between at least two slide grooves 113a and between at least two guide rails 3311, the first limiting portion 115 or the second limiting portion 35 can cover a larger area, and the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion 35 are relatively close to the center axis of the fixed frame 10 and the movable frame 30 along the first direction when they are limitedly connected, so that a relatively stable fixed connection can be achieved.

[0072] In this embodiment, the movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10 change their relative positions along the first direction through the cooperation of the first guide portion 113 and the second guide portion 33, and after moving to the target position, they are fixed through the limiting connection of the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion 35, so that the movable frame 30 is relatively stably maintained at the target position, thereby, the skirting board 50 can also be maintained at the target position relative to the dishwasher body 200. The first guide portion 113 and the second guide portion 33 can also prevent the movable frame 30 from being separated from the fixed frame 10, which is conducive to maintaining the limiting connection relationship between the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion 35, and improving the reliability of limiting fixation.

[0073] In addition, due to the cooperation of the multiple sub-sections, the movable frame 30 can hover at multiple positions relative to the fixed frame 10 in the first direction, making the adjustable options of the skirting board 50 along the first direction more diverse and enabling the use of more diverse dishwasher 1000 platforms or installation environments.

[0074] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in a specific embodiment, the first limiting portion 115 includes a plurality of first sub-portions 1151, and the second limiting portion 35 also includes a plurality of second sub-portions 351, so that when the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion 35 are limited and fixed, the plurality of first sub-portions 1151 are matched and connected with the plurality of second sub-portions 351, and the contact area between the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion 35 is larger, so that the connection between the movable portion and the fixed portion is more stable. Optionally, the first sub-portion 1151 and the second sub-portion 351 are both tooth structures, and the first sub-portion 1151 and the second sub-portion 351 are meshed to make the second limiting portion 35 and the first limiting portion 115 limitedly connected. The use of the tooth structure meshing method can make the connection between the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion more stable.

[0075] In some embodiments, the tooth top of the first sub-section 1151 is arranged in an arc shape, or the tooth top of the second sub-section 351 is arranged in an arc shape, or the tooth top of the first sub-section 1151 and the second sub-section 351 are arranged in an arc shape. In this way, when the movable frame 30 moves relative to the fixed frame 10, the first sub-section 1151 and the second sub-section 351 can smoothly move relative to each other through the arc guide to avoid getting stuck. In other words, in these embodiments, when adjusting the position of the movable frame 30 relative to the fixed frame 10, there is no need to disassemble the movable frame 30 or disengage the first limiting portion 115 and the second limiting portion 35, and the operation is more convenient.

[0076] Further, please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 6, a limiting protrusion 34 is provided on the side of the movable body 31 (movable frame 30) facing the fixed frame 10. The limiting protrusion 34 is provided between the two slide grooves 113a and is provided in a block shape. The second limiting portion 35 is provided on the limiting protrusion 34. The second limiting portion 35 includes a plurality of second sub-portions 351. The plurality of second sub-portions 351 are provided on the limiting protrusion 34, which is beneficial to reduce the length and depth of the second sub-portions 351 while ensuring the number of the second sub-portions 351, improve the strength so that it is not easy to break, and facilitate the movement of the second sub-portion 351 relative to the first sub-portion 1151 to avoid getting stuck. It can be understood that the limiting protrusion 34 can also be provided on the fixed body 111, or the limiting protrusion 34 can be provided on both the fixed body 111 and the movable body 31 to achieve the above effect. The embodiments of the present application are not described in detail here.

[0077] In other embodiments, the first limiting portion 115 can also be arranged in the slide groove 113a, and the second limiting portion 35 can be arranged on the guide rail 3311, so that the structure is more integrated and compact. In addition, the first sub-portion 1151 can also be in the form of a hole or a groove, and the second sub-portion 351 can be selected as a protruding structure with elasticity, and the protrusion and the hole groove are engaged to realize the limiting connection, which is not described in detail in this application.

[0078] Please refer to Figure 7 and Figure 8 In order to realize the movement of the skirting board 50 relative to the movable frame 30, in some embodiments, the skirting board 50 includes a plate body 51 and a first connecting portion 53, the first connecting portion 53 is connected to the side of the plate body 51 facing the movable frame 30, and is extended along the second direction. Optionally, the second direction is set along the left-right direction XX. A second connecting portion 37 is provided on the side of the movable body 31 (movable frame 30) away from the fixed frame 10, the second connecting portion 37 is clamped with the first connecting portion 53, and can slide along the first connecting portion 53, and can be fixed at any position of the first connecting portion 53 along the second direction. For example, the first connecting portion 53 can form a track extending along the second direction, and the second connecting portion 37 is clamped on the above track to move along the first connecting portion 53. In this embodiment, the skirting board 50 is connected to the movable frame 30 by clamping, which is convenient for disassembly and assembly.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 7In a specific embodiment, the first connecting portion 53 is provided with a slot 53a extending along the second direction, and the slot 53a can be defined by the first connecting portion 53 itself, or can be defined by the first connecting portion 53 and the plate body 51. The second connecting portion 37 has an elastic portion 37a located in the slot 53a, and the elastic portion 37a is interference fit with the slot 53a. The elastic portion 37a can be a structure that can be elastically deformed and made of rubber or other materials. Through the interference fit with the slot 53a, the elastic portion 37a exerts an elastic force on the inner wall of the slot 53a, so that the friction between the elastic portion 37a and the inner wall of the slot 53a increases, thereby fixing the elastic portion 37a relative to the inner wall of the slot 53a. When the external force on the elastic portion 37a is greater than the friction force or the elastic portion 37a is deformed to reduce the force of the elastic arm on the inner wall of the slot 53a, the skirting board 50 can move relative to the elastic portion 37a (movable frame 30). In this way, through the interference fit between the elastic portion 37a and the slot 53a, the first connection portion 53 and the second connection portion 37 can not only guide the movement of the skirting board 50 relative to the movable frame 30, but also limit and fix it. The structure has a high degree of integration and is easy to process and produce.

[0080] In one embodiment, the first connection portion 53 includes two clamping members 531, each of which extends along the second direction, and the two clamping members 531 are arranged side by side on the side of the plate body 51 facing the movable frame 30 to define a clamping slot 53a. Specifically, the clamping member 531 includes a groove body portion 5311 and a stopper portion 5313, and the groove body portion 5311 and the stopper portion 5313 are both roughly plate-shaped and extend along the second direction. The groove body portions 5311 of the two clamping members 531 are arranged at intervals along the up-down direction ZZ on the side of the plate body 51 facing the movable frame 30, and are arranged in depth along the front-back direction YY. The stopper 5313 is connected to the side of the groove body 5311 away from the plate body 51, and the stopper 5313 of the two clamping parts 531 are extended toward each other, thereby defining the slot of the card slot 53a. The two groove body parts 5311, the two stopper 5313 and the plate body 51 define the above-mentioned card slot 53a. The groove body part 5311 and the stopper 5313 can be a separate structure, and connected by bolts or adhesives, or the stopper 5313 and the groove body part 5311 are an integral structure, and the end of the groove body part 5311 away from the plate body 51 is bent to form the above-mentioned stopper 5313, which has a higher integrity and higher structural strength. Figure 7As shown, part of the movable body 31 is located at the notch, so that the elastic part 37a connected to one side of the movable body 31 extends into the slot 53a. The elastic part 37a abuts against the inner wall of the slot body 5311 and the inner wall of the stopper 5313, so that the stopper 5313 can prevent the elastic part 37a from moving away from the slot 53a along the front-back direction YY, thereby preventing the skirting board 50 from being separated from the movable frame 30 and improving the stability of the skirting board 50 when moving.

[0081] The two clips 531 are spaced relatively far apart in the vertical direction ZZ, and the skirting board 50 generally has a relatively long length in the second direction (the horizontal direction XX). Therefore, in order to improve the structural strength of the skirting board 50, the skirting board 50 further includes at least two reinforcing ribs 52, which are connected to the surface of the plate body 51 facing the movable frame 30 and are both extended along the second direction.

[0082] Please continue to refer to Figure 7 In one embodiment, the elastic portion 37a includes an elastic buckle 371, which may be a plate-like structure that is roughly bent in a "U" shape. Specifically, one branch of the elastic buckle 371 is connected to the movable body 31, and the other branch can be elastically close to or away from the branch connected to the movable body 31. When the elastic portion 37a is disposed in the slot 53a, the free branch of the elastic buckle 371 abuts against the inner walls of the slot body 5311 and the stopper 5313. In order to further increase the elastic force, the end of the free branch of the elastic buckle 371 is also folded in a direction away from the center of the slot 53a to form a clamping portion 3711, one side of the clamping portion 3711 abuts against the slot body 5311, and the other side abuts against the stopper 5313. The contact area between the abutting portion 3711 and the inner wall of the slot 53a is small, and the acting force is more concentrated, which can effectively increase the friction between the elastic portion 37a and the inner wall of the slot 53a, so that the skirting board 50 and the movable frame 30 have a more reliable limited fixing state.

[0083] Optionally, the elastic portion 37a may be provided with only one elastic buckle 371. For example, the elastic portion 37a includes the elastic buckle 371 located on the upper side of the movable body 31 and the abutment end located on the lower side of the movable body 31. In order to further improve the tightness of the limiting fit between the elastic portion 37a and the card slot 53a, Figure 7In the illustrated embodiment, the elastic portion 37a includes at least two elastic buckles 371. Taking the elastic portion 37a including two elastic buckles 371 as an example, the two elastic buckles 371 can be respectively arranged on the upper and lower sides of the movable body 31, and elastically abut the opposite side walls of the slot 53a, respectively, so that the elastic portion 37a can simultaneously act on the upper and lower side walls of the slot 53a to make the slot 53a have an elastic force with an expansion tendency, and the reaction force of the clamping member 531 forming the slot 53a on the elastic portion 37a is stronger, the elastic portion 37a and the slot 53a are more closely matched, and the limiting fixation of the skirting board 50 and the movable frame 30 is more reliable. Of course, the elastic portion 37a can also be provided with more than two elastic buckles 371, which is not limited here.

[0084] Furthermore, in order to avoid instability caused by interference fit between the elastic part 37a and the card slot 53a and improve reliability, the second connecting part 37 also includes a protective part 37b. The protective part 37b includes at least two protective plates arranged on both sides of the elastic part 37a, and the protective plates extend along the second direction (left-right direction XX) and have a certain width along the front-back direction YY. At least two protective plates abut the outer wall surface of the card slot 53a, and the elastic part 37a abuts the inner wall surface of the card slot 53a. As shown in the figure, the elastic buckle 371 abuts the inner wall of the card connector 531, and the protective plate outside the elastic part 37a abuts the outer wall surface of the card connector 531, and the two cooperate to clamp the card connector 531, and the two elastic buckles 371 cooperate with the two protective plates to clamp the two card connectors 531, that is, the above-mentioned first connecting part 53. The protective plate can provide the clip 531 with a force that is opposite to the elasticity of the elastic clip 371. On the one hand, it can prevent the clip 531 from becoming unstable and folding due to the elastic force of the elastic clip 371. On the other hand, it can cooperate with the elastic clip 371 to make the connection between the second connection part 37 and the first connection part 53 tighter, thereby improving the connection reliability between the skirting board 50 and the movable frame 30.

[0085] In this embodiment, the first connecting portion 53 is provided with a slot 53a, and the elastic portion 37a in the second connecting portion 37 can be movably engaged in the slot 53a. When assembling, the movable skirting board 50 allows the elastic portion 37a to enter the slot 53a from one end of the slot 53a. Since the first connecting portion 53 is arranged on the skirting board 50, and the first connecting portion 53 is a structure that generally extends along the second direction, the skirting board 50 can be processed by extrusion molding, and the second connecting portion 37 can be integrally molded with the movable body 31 by injection molding, and the processing efficiency is high. Of course, in other embodiments of the present application, the slot 53a can also be provided in the second connecting portion 37, and the elastic portion 37a can be provided in the first connecting portion 53, so that the skirting board 50 and the movable frame 30 can be movably connected through the first connecting portion 53 and the second connecting portion 37, and the effect of limiting and fixing can be achieved, which will not be repeated here.

[0086] Optionally, in the embodiment of the present application, the skirting board 50 can be connected to the dishwasher body 200 through a movable frame 30 and a fixed frame 10. The movable frame 30 and the fixed frame 10 can be arranged in the middle of the bottom of the dishwasher body 200 and extend to the left and right sides. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the illustrated embodiment, the skirting board assembly 100 includes at least two fixed frames 10 and at least two movable frames 30 spaced apart along the second direction, the at least two fixed frames 10 and the at least two movable frames 30 are connected one-to-one, and the skirting board 50 is connected to the at least two movable frames 30. The skirting board 50 in this embodiment is connected to the dishwasher body 200 through the at least two fixed frames 10 and the at least two movable frames 30, which can improve the stability and reliability of the skirting board 50 when it moves along the first direction and / or the second direction and when it is fixed.
