[0031] The technical solution of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the sealing member provided in the embodiment of the utility model is installed at the front bottom corner of the inner liner 5, one sealing member is installed at each of the two bottom corners, and the sealing members on the left and right sides are symmetrically arranged.

[0033] like Figure 2 - Figure 4As shown, the seal includes: a main body 1, and the structure is described in detail by taking the seal on the right side as an example. The right side wall of the main body 1 on the right side abuts against the lateral side wall of the front bottom corner of the inner liner 5, and the bottom surface of the main body 1 abuts against the bottom surface of the inner liner 5. Since the side wall and the ground of the existing inner liner 5 are rounded, the right side wall and the bottom surface of the main body 1 are also rounded, so that the main body 1 can fit more closely at the bottom corner of the inner liner 5 to prevent steam from passing behind the seal. A plug-in portion 11 is provided on the top of the main body 1, and the plug-in portion 11 is used to be inserted from bottom to top into the gap between the door sealing strip bracket 3 and the inner liner 5. In the prior art, the door sealing strip 4 extends all the way to the bottom of the door sealing strip bracket 3. In order to achieve the installation of the seal, the bottom part of the door sealing strip 4 is cut off, and the cut-off part is supplemented by the plug-in portion 11. In addition, the material of the plug-in portion 11 can be rubber, which has elasticity. The plug-in portion 11 with a slightly larger width is inserted between the door sealing strip bracket 3 and the side wall of the inner liner 5 to achieve clamping and fixation, thereby improving the connection stability.

[0034] The front end of the main body 1, that is, the end facing the door body, is provided with a forwardly protruding sealing portion 12, which is used to abut and seal with the door lining sealing strip 2 when the door body is closed, thereby achieving sealing and preventing steam from passing through.

[0035] The seal is installed at the front bottom corner of the inner tank 5, the side wall of the main body 1 abuts against the lateral side wall of the front bottom corner of the inner tank 5, and the bottom surface of the main body 1 abuts against the bottom surface of the inner tank 5, thereby preventing steam from escaping from the bottom side and the side wall of the inner tank 5. The plug-in portion 11 on the main body 1 fills the gap between the door seal strip bracket 3 and the inner tank 5 to prevent steam from passing through there. Furthermore, when the door body is closed, the sealing portion 12 abuts against the door lining sealing strip 2 to seal and prevent steam from passing through, further achieving sealing. The sealing at the front bottom corner of the inner tank 5 can be achieved through the above-mentioned seal to reduce steam leakage.

[0036] In the prior art, such as Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, when the door body is in a closed state, the door lining sealing strip 2 is approximately in a vertical state, and when the door body is fully opened, the door lining sealing strip 2 is approximately in a horizontal state. In order to prevent the door lining sealing strip 2 in a horizontal state from being squeezed and deformed, a groove 121 is provided on the front end surface of the sealing portion 12 to avoid the bottom of the door lining sealing strip 2, and the opening of the groove 121 faces forward. In the process of switching the door body from closed to fully opened, the door lining sealing strip 2 rotates in the groove 121 until it is in a horizontal state.

[0037] like Figure 6As shown, in the groove 121, a limiting protrusion 122 is provided on the groove wall located below, and the limiting protrusion 122 is spaced apart from the bottom surface of the groove 121. The limiting protrusion 122 and the groove wall where it is located form a step structure. When the door body switches from a fully open state to a closed state, the bottom of the door lining sealing strip 2 gradually moves toward the direction close to the limiting protrusion 122 until the door body is completely closed, and the side of the limiting protrusion 122 facing the bottom surface of the groove 121 abuts against the bottom of the door lining sealing strip 2 to achieve sealing.

[0038] like Figure 1 As shown, further, in order to prevent the rough edges of the door seal strip bracket 3 from scratching the hands of the user, the rear end of the main body 1 is provided with an anti-scratch rib 13 extending upward and located on the lateral inner side of the rear edge of the door seal strip bracket 3. The anti-scratch rib 13 is located on the inner side of the door seal strip bracket 3 to shield it, so that the user will not be scratched by the rough edges when taking the tray.

[0039] At the same time, because an anti-scratch rib 13 is provided on the inner side of the door sealing strip bracket 3, the distance between the two anti-scratch ribs 13 in the left and right directions is smaller than the distance between the original two door sealing strip brackets 3, the left and right ends of the shelf can respectively abut against the two anti-scratch ribs 13 on the left and right sides, which plays a limiting role in placing the lower shelf and reduces the left and right shaking of the lower shelf.

[0040] The top of the anti-scratch retaining edge 13 is provided with a slot 14 located behind the rear edge of the door seal strip bracket 3 and wrapping the rear edge of the door seal strip bracket 3. The slot 14 is located behind the rear edge of the seal strip bracket and shields the bracket by wrapping. Furthermore, when the slot 14 is not inserted into the rear edge of the door seal strip bracket 3, its width is less than the thickness of the rear edge of the door seal strip bracket 3; the slot 14 is elastic and clamps the rear edge of the door seal strip bracket 3. During installation, the slot 14 can be installed on the rear edge of the door seal strip bracket 3 by force, and is clamped and fixed on the door seal strip bracket 3 by the elastic force of the groove 121 itself.

[0041] like Figure 6 As shown, the sealing portion 12 includes a first slot arm and a second slot arm spaced apart from each other vertically from top to bottom, the gap between the first slot arm and the second slot arm forms a groove 121, and a limiting protrusion 122 is arranged on the second slot wall. The front end surface of the first slot arm and the surface thereof facing the second slot arm form a guide arc surface 123, which is used to guide the door lining sealing strip 2. When the door is opened, the door lining sealing strip will change from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction due to the rotation of the door body, and the guide arc surface 123 makes the change of the position of the door lining sealing strip have a guiding effect.

[0042] The top surface of the main body 1 is provided with a docking protrusion 111 located in front of the plug-in portion 11. The docking protrusion 111 is elastic. The top surface of the docking protrusion 111 is docked with the bottom surface of the door sealing strip. The docking protrusion 111 is used to abut against the door lining when the door is closed. According to the above, in order to achieve the installation of the seal, a part of the door sealing strip needs to be cut off. The docking protrusion 111 makes up for the cut door sealing strip to avoid the reduction of the sealing line effect.

[0043] The dishwasher provided by the utility model includes the above-mentioned sealing member. Since the dishwasher provided by the embodiment of the utility model uses the above-mentioned sealing member, the dishwasher provided by the embodiment of the utility model also has the advantages of the sealing member.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the utility model, rather than to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, ordinary technicians in this field should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solution deviate from the scope of the technical solution of the embodiments of the utility model.
