Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of tableware cleaning equipment, in particular to a dishwasher and a dish basket thereof. Background Art

[0002] A dishwasher is a device used to automatically wash tableware. Since using a dishwasher to wash tableware can greatly reduce tedious manual labor, it is easy to operate and has a high degree of automation, and therefore has been favored by more and more consumers.

[0003] In the prior art, various forms of dishwashers are also provided. For example, an existing dishwasher generally includes: at least one nozzle, and a basket located above the nozzle for placing dishes to be washed. When washing, the user puts the dishes to be washed into the basket, starts the dishwasher, and the water sprayed from the nozzle automatically rinses the dishes to be washed in the basket.

[0004] However, the applicant has found that the cleaning effect of tableware washed by the existing dishwasher is not satisfactory. In particular, when using a dishwasher to wash tableware with a certain depth (taking bowls as an example), it is difficult for the spraying water column to cover all areas of the inner surface of all bowls installed in the bowl basket. After the automatic washing of the dishwasher, if the inner wall of the bowl is attached with dirt that is difficult to clean, there will often be residues on the local area of ​​the inner wall of the bowl (for example, some areas of the bottom of the bowl).

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dishwasher and a bowl basket thereof to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "upper", "lower", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and are not intended to be the only implementation method.

[0076] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those generally understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of this application 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 related listed items.

[0077] The utility model provides a dishwasher and a bowl basket thereof, which can take into account the blind areas of the inner surfaces of all tableware installed in the bowl basket which are difficult to clean, reduce or even eliminate the blind areas, and enable all tableware to achieve better cleaning effects in a shorter time.

[0078] Please refer to Figures 1 to 11 In an embodiment of the present application specification, a bowl basket of a dishwasher is provided, and the bowl basket of the dishwasher may include: a frame body 100; a first motion mechanism capable of driving the tableware 600 to rotate in a first direction and / or to make a first motion in a direction opposite to the first direction; a second motion mechanism capable of driving the tableware 600 to rotate in a second direction and / or to make a second motion in a direction opposite to the second direction; a first driving mechanism providing power to the first motion mechanism; and a second driving mechanism providing power to the second motion mechanism.

[0079] In the embodiment of the present application, the dishwasher is mainly used to clean tableware 600, kitchen utensils and other objects to be cleaned. Among them, the tableware 600 can mainly include rotating bodies such as bowls, plates, and dishes.

[0080] The bowl basket of the dishwasher may mainly include: a frame body 100, a first motion mechanism, a second motion mechanism, a first driving mechanism, a second driving mechanism, and the like.

[0081] The frame body 100 of the bowl basket is used to place tableware 600 and kitchen utensils waiting to be cleaned. Specifically, the frame body 100 can be assembled from a plurality of rods to form a hollow structure that is convenient for draining. A stopper can be provided in the frame body 100 to divide the frame body 100 into a plurality of relatively independent areas, thereby separating the objects to be cleaned by a predetermined distance to ensure that each object to be cleaned has a certain amount of space for movement, and the predetermined distance can at least ensure that the tableware 600 can rotate. Of course, the specific value of the predetermined distance can be adaptively adjusted according to the size of the tableware 600, etc., and the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0082] like Fig.11As shown, the tableware 600 driven by the first motion mechanism to perform the first motion is located in the first area 81 of the frame body; the tableware 600 driven by the second motion mechanism to perform the second motion is located in the second area 82 of the frame body, and the first area 81 is at least partially different from the second area 82.

[0083] In this embodiment, the frame body 100 may include multiple regions, for example, at least a first region 81 and a second region 82, wherein the first region 81 and the second region 82 may be independent of each other or partially overlap. For example, the first region 81 and the second region 82 may be disposed adjacent to each other. When the first region 81 and the second region 82 may be disposed adjacent to each other, the position where the first region 81 and the second region 82 meet is a common region of the two regions.

[0084] The types of tableware 600 placed in the first area 81 and the second area 82 can be different or the same. For example, the same type of tableware 600 can be accommodated in the first area 81 and the second area 82. In addition, the first area 81 and the second area 82 can accommodate different types of tableware 600. For example, the first area 81 can accommodate tableware with a shallow depth, such as shallow bowls, plates, etc.; the second area 82 can accommodate tableware with a deep depth, such as deep bowls, etc. Of course, the types of tableware 600 in the first area 81 and the second area 82 are not limited to the above examples, and the art does not make specific limitations here.

[0085] The first movement made by the tableware 600 located in the first area 81 and the second movement made by the tableware 600 located in the second area 82 may be in the same or different forms.

[0086] When the first movement made by the tableware 600 located in the first area 81 is different from the second movement made by the tableware 600 located in the second area 82, the tableware 600 making the first movement rotates along the first rotation axis, and the tableware 600 making the second movement rotates along the second rotation axis, and the distribution positions of the first rotation axis and the second rotation axis relative to the tableware 600 are different.

[0087] Specifically, for example, the tableware 600 in the first area 81 can perform circumferential rotational motion in the first direction. The rotation of the tableware 600 in the first direction is mainly explained by taking the tableware performing circumferential rotation as an example. The tableware 600 is a rotating body as a whole, or a quasi-rotating body, and has a central axis. When the tableware 600 rotates along the first direction, the central axis of the tableware 600 itself can be used as the first rotation axis to perform circumferential clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

[0088] The tableware 600 in the second area 82 can swing back and forth along the second direction. The tableware 600 can rotate unidirectionally or swing back and forth in the second direction with the line connecting the contact points with the frame body 100 as the second rotation axis, thereby changing the angle between the plane where the open end of the tableware 600 is located and the horizontal plane.

[0089] When the first motion performed by the tableware 600 located in the first area 81 is in the same form as the second motion performed by the tableware 600 located in the second area 82, the tableware 600 can rotate circumferentially along the central axis of the tableware 600 itself, or swing around the line connecting the contact points with the frame body 100 as the axis of rotation, or perform a composite motion of the above-mentioned circumferential rotation and swinging, etc.

[0090] In a specific embodiment, when the first motion performed by the tableware 600 located in the first area 81 is different from the second motion performed by the tableware 600 located in the second area 82, one type of tableware may be arranged in the first area 81, and another type of tableware may be arranged in the second area 82. For example, the shape and structure of the tableware located in the first area 81 and the tableware located in the second area 82 may be different; in addition, the cleaning difficulty of the tableware located in the first area 81 and the tableware located in the second area 82 is different. For example, the dirt of the tableware in the second area is more difficult to clean than that of the tableware in the first area.

[0091] Based on at least one of the above factors, such as the type and cleaning difficulty of the tableware 600 in different areas, the cleaning requirements of the tableware 600 in different areas may be different. In order to flexibly match the cleaning requirements of the tableware 600 in different areas, the tableware 600 in different areas can be made to perform different movements, so as to achieve targeted partitioning and cleaning of the tableware 600. One cleaning can meet the different cleaning requirements of users, thereby improving the comprehensive performance of the dishwasher and the user experience.

[0092] For example, in a specific usage scenario, when the first area 81 contains multiple plates, the plates can be arranged at a smaller interval, and the first driving mechanism can be used to drive the plates to rotate in a circumferential direction for cleaning, so that the multiple plates can be cleaned; when the second area 82 contains multiple deep bowls, the bowls can be arranged in sequence at a distance greater than the interval between the above-mentioned plates, and the second driving mechanism can be used to drive the bowls to swing for cleaning, or the bowls can be driven to rotate in a circumferential direction and swing back and forth at the same time. In this way, multiple bowls and plates can be washed simultaneously in a shorter time with less water and power consumption.

[0093] In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism are two independent driving mechanisms.

[0094] The first driving mechanism includes any one of the following or a combination thereof: an electric driving mechanism, a hydraulic driving mechanism, and a magnetic driving mechanism.

[0095] Specifically, the first driving mechanism may include any one of the following or a combination thereof: an electric driving mechanism 220, a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, and a magnetic driving mechanism. For example, the first driving mechanism may be a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, or the first driving mechanism may be a combination of a hydraulic driving mechanism 210 and an electric driving mechanism 220.

[0096] Of course, the specific setting form of the first driving mechanism can also be other forms and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0097] The second driving mechanism includes any one of the following or a combination thereof: an electric driving mechanism, a hydraulic driving mechanism, and a magnetic driving mechanism.

[0098] For example, the second driving mechanism may be an electric driving mechanism 220 , or the second driving mechanism may be a combination of a hydraulic driving mechanism 210 and an electric driving mechanism 220 .

[0099] Of course, the specific setting form of the second driving mechanism can also be other forms and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0100] Among them, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism can be installed on the frame body 100, for example, located on the inner side of the frame body 100 and connected to the frame body 100, or located on the outer side of the frame body 100 and connected to the frame body 100. Of course, in some embodiments, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism can also be located outside the frame body 100 and not directly connected to the frame body 100. Specifically, the relationship between the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism and the frame body 100 can be comprehensively determined based on the actual assembly relationship of the bowl basket, the specific form of the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism, the specific form of the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism, the matching relationship between the driving mechanism and the motion mechanism, etc., and the present application does not make the sole limitation here. In the embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism is mainly installed on the frame body 100 for example, and other situations can be referred to by analogy.

[0101] The first motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate continuously along the first direction, or can drive the tableware 600 to rotate alternately along the first direction and the direction opposite to the first direction, or can first drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the first direction for a first time, then drive the tableware 600 to rotate alternately along the first direction and the direction opposite to the first direction, and then drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the direction opposite to the first direction for a second time. The specific form in which the first motion mechanism drives the tableware 600 to rotate can be comprehensively determined based on the form of the first drive mechanism, the form of the first motion mechanism, the matching relationship between the first motion mechanism and the first drive mechanism, and the cleaning angle requirements of the tableware 600.

[0102] The first motion mechanism may include any one of the following or a combination thereof: a rotating shaft 300, and a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction.

[0103] In this embodiment, the first motion mechanism may include a rotating shaft 300. When the first motion mechanism includes the rotating shaft 300, the rotating shaft 300 can be connected to the first driving mechanism. The rotational force output by the first driving mechanism can drive the rotating shaft 300 to rotate, and then the rotating rotating shaft 300 can drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate in the first direction and / or in the direction opposite to the first direction.

[0104] Alternatively, the first motion mechanism may include: a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction. The spray water column sprayed from the nozzle contacts the tableware 600 along the predetermined direction, and the spray water column flowing along the predetermined direction can be decomposed into two forces after impacting the tableware 600, one force is a vertical upward force, so that the tableware 600 can be basically separated from the frame body 100, thereby effectively reducing the friction between the tableware 600 and the frame body 100; the other force is a tangential force that drives the tableware 600 to rotate.

[0105] The second motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the second direction, or the second motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate alternately along the second direction and the direction opposite to the second direction. The specific form of the second motion mechanism driving the tableware 600 to rotate can be comprehensively determined according to the form of the second drive mechanism, the form of the second motion mechanism, the matching relationship between the second motion mechanism and the second drive mechanism, and the cleaning angle requirements of the tableware 600.

[0106] The second motion mechanism includes any one of the following or a combination thereof: a rotating bracket 400, and a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction.

[0107] In this embodiment, the second motion mechanism may include a rotating bracket 400. When the second motion mechanism includes a rotating bracket 400, the rotating bracket 400 may be transmission-connected to the second driving mechanism. The rotational force output by the second driving mechanism can drive the rotating bracket 400 to rotate, thereby enabling the rotating rotating bracket 400 to drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate in the second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction.

[0108] Alternatively, the second motion mechanism may include: a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction. The spray water column sprayed by the nozzle may alternately contact the inner surface and the outer surface of the tableware 600 along the predetermined direction, and the spray water column flowing along the predetermined direction may drive the tableware 600 to rotate a certain angle in the second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction after impacting the tableware 600.

[0109] In some embodiments, the first driving mechanism includes an electric driving mechanism 220 and / or a hydraulic driving mechanism 210 , and the second driving mechanism is a hydraulic driving mechanism 210 .

[0110] In the embodiments of the present application, the first driving mechanism is mainly illustrated in the form of a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, or an electric driving mechanism 220, or a combination of the two. The second driving mechanism is mainly illustrated in the form of a hydraulic driving mechanism 210.

[0111] Driven by the first driving mechanism, the first motion mechanism drives the tableware 600 to perform circumferential rotational motion along the central axis of the tableware 600; driven by the second driving mechanism, the second motion mechanism drives the tableware 600 to swing back and forth within a predetermined angle range.

[0112] In the embodiment of the present application, the movement of the tableware 600 driven by the first motion mechanism is mainly described as circumferential rotational movement, and the movement of the tableware 600 driven by the second motion mechanism is mainly described as reciprocating swinging movement.

[0113] The tableware driven by the first motion mechanism to perform the first motion and the tableware driven by the second motion mechanism to perform the second motion can be located in the same area. For the same area, the tableware can perform circumferential rotation and reciprocating swing at the same time under the drive of the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism.

[0114] The first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism can be integrated into one drive mechanism, or can be independent drive mechanisms. When the drive mechanism is one, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are the same common drive mechanism, and the common drive mechanism is used to provide driving force for the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism at the same time.

[0115] Alternatively, when there are two driving mechanisms, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism are different driving mechanisms, wherein the first driving mechanism can be used to provide driving force for the first motion mechanism, and the second driving mechanism can be used to provide driving force for the second motion mechanism.

[0116] Alternatively, when there are more driving mechanisms, the multiple driving mechanisms can be used in series or in parallel to provide power to the same motion mechanism.

[0117] Specifically, the first driving mechanism may include any one of the following or a combination thereof: an electric driving mechanism 220, a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, and a magnetic driving mechanism. For example, the first driving mechanism may be a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, or the first driving mechanism may be a combination of a hydraulic driving mechanism 210 and an electric driving mechanism 220.

[0118] Of course, the specific setting form of the first driving mechanism can also be other forms and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0119] The second driving mechanism may include any one of the following or a combination thereof: an electric driving mechanism 220, a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, and a magnetic driving mechanism. For example, the second driving mechanism may be an electric driving mechanism 220, or the second driving mechanism may be a combination of a hydraulic driving mechanism 210 and an electric driving mechanism 220.

[0120] Of course, the specific setting form of the second driving mechanism can also be other forms and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0121] Among them, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism can be installed on the frame body 100, for example, located on the inner side of the frame body 100 and connected to the frame body 100, or located on the outer side of the frame body 100 and connected to the frame body 100. Of course, in some embodiments, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism can also be located outside the frame body 100 and not directly connected to the frame body 100. Specifically, the relationship between the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism and the frame body 100 can be comprehensively determined based on the actual assembly relationship of the bowl basket, the specific form of the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism, the specific form of the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism, the matching relationship between the driving mechanism and the motion mechanism, etc., and the present application does not make the sole limitation here. In the embodiments of the present application, the driving mechanism is mainly installed on the frame body 100 for example, and other situations can be referred to by analogy.

[0122] Driven by the first driving mechanism, the first motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the first direction and / or in the direction opposite to the first direction. The first motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate continuously along the first direction, or can drive the tableware 600 to rotate alternately along the first direction and the direction opposite to the first direction, or can first drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the first direction for a first time length, then drive the tableware 600 to rotate alternately along the first direction and the direction opposite to the first direction, and then drive the tableware 600 to rotate in the direction opposite to the first direction for a second time length. The specific form in which the first motion mechanism drives the tableware 600 to rotate can be comprehensively determined based on the form of the first driving mechanism, the form of the first motion mechanism, the matching relationship between the first motion mechanism and the first driving mechanism, and the cleaning angle requirements of the tableware 600.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first motion mechanism may include any one of the following: a rotating shaft 300, a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction, and a first transmission member connected between the frame body 100 and the first driving mechanism.

[0124] In this embodiment, the first motion mechanism may include a rotating shaft 300. When the first motion mechanism includes the rotating shaft 300, the rotating shaft 300 can be connected to the first driving mechanism. The rotational force output by the first driving mechanism can drive the rotating shaft 300 to rotate, and then the rotating rotating shaft 300 can drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate in the first direction and / or in the direction opposite to the first direction.

[0125] Alternatively, the first motion mechanism may include: a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction. The spray water column sprayed from the nozzle contacts the tableware 600 along the predetermined direction, and the spray water column flowing along the predetermined direction can be decomposed into two forces after impacting the tableware 600, one force is a vertical upward force, so that the tableware 600 can be basically separated from the frame body 100, thereby effectively reducing the friction between the tableware 600 and the frame body 100; the other force is a tangential force that drives the tableware 600 to rotate.

[0126] Alternatively, the first motion mechanism may include a first transmission member connected between the frame body 100 and the first drive mechanism. The first transmission member can transmit the rotational force of the first drive mechanism to the frame body 100, so that the frame body 100 as a whole rotates within a first predetermined angle range, thereby driving the tableware 600 in the frame body 100 to rotate as a whole within the first predetermined angle range. The specific form of the first transmission member is not specifically limited in this application.

[0127] Driven by the second driving mechanism, the second motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the second direction and / or along the direction opposite to the second direction.

[0128] The second motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the second direction, or the second motion mechanism can drive the tableware 600 to rotate alternately along the second direction and the direction opposite to the second direction. The specific form of the second motion mechanism driving the tableware 600 to rotate can be comprehensively determined according to the form of the second drive mechanism, the form of the second motion mechanism, the matching relationship between the second motion mechanism and the second drive mechanism, and the cleaning angle requirements of the tableware 600.

[0129] In some embodiments, the second motion mechanism may include any one of the following: a rotating bracket 400, a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction, and a second transmission member connected between the frame body 100 and the second driving mechanism.

[0130] In this embodiment, the second motion mechanism may include a rotating bracket 400. When the second motion mechanism includes a rotating bracket 400, the rotating bracket 400 may be transmission-connected to the second driving mechanism. The rotational force output by the second driving mechanism can drive the rotating bracket 400 to rotate, thereby enabling the rotating rotating bracket 400 to drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate in the second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction.

[0131] Alternatively, the second motion mechanism may include: a nozzle capable of providing a spray water column with a predetermined direction. The spray water column sprayed by the nozzle may alternately contact the inner surface and the outer surface of the tableware 600 along the predetermined direction, and the spray water column flowing along the predetermined direction may drive the tableware 600 to rotate a certain angle in the second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction after impacting the tableware 600.

[0132] Alternatively, the first motion mechanism may include a second transmission member connected between the frame body 100 and the second drive mechanism. The second transmission member transmits the rotational force of the second drive mechanism to the frame body 100, so that the frame body 100 as a whole rotates within a second predetermined angle range, thereby driving the tableware 600 in the frame body 100 to rotate as a whole within the second predetermined angle range. The specific form of the second transmission member is not specifically limited in this application.

[0133] The first direction and the second direction are not the same. Figure 2A , Figure 2B and Figure 5A , Figure 5B As shown, for example, when the first motion mechanism is a rotating shaft 300, in the embodiment of the present application, the rotation of the tableware 600 in the first direction is mainly explained by taking the tableware 600 rotating in the circumferential direction as an example. The tableware 600 is a rotating body as a whole, or a quasi-rotating body, and has a central axis. When the tableware 600 rotates along the first direction, it can specifically rotate clockwise or counterclockwise in the circumferential direction with the central axis of the tableware 600 itself as the rotating axis.

[0134] like Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, when the second motion mechanism is a rotating bracket 400, in the embodiment of the present application, the rotation is mainly explained by taking the example of the tableware 600 rotating unidirectionally or swinging back and forth in the second direction around the point where the bowl mouth contacts the rotating axis 300 or the line connecting the contact points.

[0135] For example, when the rotating shaft 300 includes two, the tableware 600 includes two contact points with the rotating shaft 300. Specifically, the tableware 600 can be rotated unidirectionally or reciprocated in the second direction with the line connecting the contact points with the rotating shaft 300 as the rotation axis, so as to change the angle between the plane where the open end of the tableware 600 is located and the horizontal plane. When the rotating bracket 400 rotates under the drive of the driving mechanism, it can drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate together, that is, the tableware 600 can move with the movement of the rotating bracket 400. When the rotating bracket 400 only rotates unidirectionally during a cleaning process, the tableware 600 also only rotates unidirectionally during the cleaning process; when the rotating bracket 400 rotates bidirectionally and alternately to form a swing during a cleaning process, the tableware 600 can also swing during the cleaning process.

[0136] In the embodiment of the present application, by providing the above-mentioned first motion mechanism capable of driving the tableware 600 to rotate along a first direction and / or in a direction opposite to the first direction, and the second motion mechanism capable of driving the tableware 600 to rotate along a second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction, during the process of washing the tableware 600, the tableware 600 can achieve full coverage washing of the inner surfaces of all the tableware 600 installed in the bowl basket by rotating along two different directions, completely eliminating the blind spots in washing, and enabling all the tableware 600 to achieve better cleaning effects in a shorter time.

[0137] The applicant found that: for deep bowls that are cleaned by only driving the tableware 600 to rotate in a certain direction, in a short period of time, although the inner wall of the bowl has been cleaned very clean, there are still food residues in some parts of the bottom of the bowl. In addition to being affected by the structure of the tableware 600 itself, the cleaned tableware 600 is also affected by many factors such as the obstruction of adjacent tableware 600. Except for the first bowl with an opening facing outward, other bowls may be obstructed by the previous bowl. Even if the bowl itself rotates along its circumferential direction, the spray water column still cannot directly reach all areas of the inner surface of the bowl. Moreover, it is difficult to achieve an ideal cleaning effect in these blind spots even if the cleaning time is greatly extended.

[0138] The inventor of the present application discovered the above-mentioned problem and proposed to rotate the same tableware 600 in multiple directions in space, for example, to rotate the tableware 600 in one direction and to swing it in another direction, and to actively change the contact angle between the tableware 600 and the spray water column in multiple directions, so that the spray water column can directly cover the inner wall of the tableware 600, completely eliminating the blind spot of cleaning, effectively shortening the cleaning time, and achieving the ideal cleaning effect, thereby enabling the tableware 600 to achieve a better cleaning effect in a shorter time, further improving the user experience, and achieving the ideal energy-saving and environmental protection effect.

[0139] The following will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0140] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 In the first embodiment of the present application, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism are mainly described as a common driving mechanism. The common driving mechanism is mainly described as a hydraulic driving mechanism 210.

[0141] In this embodiment, the first motion mechanism may include a rotating shaft 300, and the second motion mechanism includes a rotating bracket 400. When the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the common driving mechanism can drive the rotating shaft 300 to rotate and drive the rotating bracket 400 to swing. The tableware 600 in contact with the rotating shaft 300 and the bracket can swing while rotating.

[0142] When the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the common driving mechanism provides driving force for the rotating shaft 300, so that the rotating shaft 300 rotates around its own axis, and the rotating shaft 300 can drive the tableware 600 in contact with it to rotate along the first direction when rotating; at the same time, the common driving mechanism provides driving force for the rotating bracket 400, so that the rotating bracket 400 reciprocates (i.e. swings) in the second direction and the direction opposite to the second direction, and the rotating bracket 400 drives the tableware 600 in contact with it to reciprocate (i.e. swing) in the second direction and the direction opposite to the second direction. When the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the tableware 600 can rotate in the first direction, and when swinging in the second direction and the direction opposite to the second direction, it can achieve full coverage cleaning of the inner surface of all the tableware 600 installed in the bowl basket, completely eliminate the blind area of ​​cleaning, and enable all the tableware 600 to achieve a better cleaning effect in a shorter time.

[0143] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 300 is arranged on the frame body 100, and the rotating shaft 300 is used to be supported at a first position 601 near the bottom of the open end of the tableware 600; the rotating shaft 300 has a first end and a second end along the axial direction, and the first end of the rotating shaft 300 is transmission-connected to the common driving mechanism; when the common driving mechanism is started, the rotating shaft 300 rotates, which can drive the tableware 600 to rotate along the first direction.

[0144] The rotating shaft 300 may include a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft in parallel, and the two rotating shafts may be arranged in parallel, and the first rotating shaft or the second rotating shaft may be a longitudinal rod extending axially as a whole. Alternatively, the rotating shaft 300 may include a rotating shaft and a supporting shaft, and the supporting shaft is used to provide a supporting force for the tableware 600. The supporting shaft cannot actively transmit torque to the tableware 600. The supporting shaft can rotate with the rotation of the tableware 600 or not with the rotation of the tableware 600. Specifically, the shape and structure of the supporting shaft may be the same as that of the rotating shaft, which is conducive to reducing the manufacturing and maintenance costs of parts.

[0145] One end of the rotating shaft 300 can be connected to the common driving mechanism, so that it can be driven to rotate by the common driving mechanism, and then can drive the tableware 600 placed on the rotating shaft 300 to rotate under the static friction force; Figure 3 As shown, the other end can be mounted on the frame body 100 by providing a mounting structure, such as a mounting bracket 310. The bottom of the open end of the tableware 600 can abut against the rotating shaft 300. Specifically, the specific position where the open end of the tableware 600 abuts against the rotating shaft 300 can be comprehensively determined based on the number of the rotating shafts 300, the spacing distance between multiple rotating shafts 300, etc., and the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0146] In this embodiment, the rotating bracket 400 is rotatably connected to the frame body 100, and the rotating bracket 400 is used to support the second position 602 at the edge of the open end of the tableware 600, and the second position 602 is higher than the first position 601. When the common driving mechanism is started, the rotating bracket 400 rotates alternately along the second direction and along the direction opposite to the second direction within a predetermined angle range, which can drive the tableware 600 to swing within a predetermined angle range.

[0147] The rotating bracket 400 can be connected to the frame body 100 by a rotational connection, and the rotating bracket 400 is used to support the second position 602 of the edge of the open end of the tableware 600, and the second position 602 is higher than the first position 601. For example, the rotating bracket 400 can be supported at the middle and upper part of the edge of the open end of the tableware 600, and a certain distance is formed from the position where the rotating bracket 400 is rotationally connected to the frame body 100, so as to form a longer force arm and reliably drive the tableware 600 to rotate. Specifically, the specific contact position between the rotating bracket 400 and the open end of the tableware 600 can be different according to the specific form of the rotating bracket 400 and the size of the tableware 600, and the present application does not make specific limitations here.

[0148] The rotating bracket can be driven by a driving mechanism. When the driving mechanism is started, the rotating bracket 400 rotates along the second direction within a predetermined angle range, or rotates alternately along the second direction and in a direction opposite to the second direction, which can drive the tableware 600 to swing within a predetermined angle range.

[0149] The predetermined angle range may be an angle range that is conducive to directly spraying and washing the inner surface of the tableware 600. Specifically, the angle range is mainly related to the matching relationship between the rotating bracket 400 and the tableware 600, the matching relationship between the rotating shaft 300 and the tableware 600, the spraying angle of the spray liquid, and other factors.

[0150] like Figure 5A and Figure 5B As shown, in a specific embodiment, the rotating bracket 400 drives the tableware 600 to swing at an angle within a range of 0°-90°.

[0151] In this embodiment, when the rotating bracket 400 drives the tableware 600 to swing, the angle between the plane where the edge of the tableware 600 is located and the rotating shaft 300 is 0°-90°. Taking the tableware 600 as an example, when the angle between the plane where the open end of the bowl is located and the rotating shaft 300 is 90°, the bowl is standing on the rotating shaft 300; when the angle between the plane where the open end of the bowl is located and the rotating shaft 300 is 0°, the opening of the bowl lies downward on the rotating shaft 300. When the bowl swings within the above range, the spray liquid located under the bowl basket can reliably contact the bowl under the gravity of the bowl during the rotation and swinging of the bowl, and the spray liquid can fully cover the inner surface of the bowl.

[0152] Of course, it should be noted that the above-mentioned angle range is mainly illustrated by taking the example of the spraying liquid as a whole spraying from bottom to top; when the spraying direction also includes the situation from top to bottom, and the support position also includes the outer wall of the bowl, the swing angle of the tableware 600 can be adaptively expanded.

[0153] For the implementation method of using the same driving mechanism to drive the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism at the same time, in order to further achieve the above-mentioned swinging effect, in one implementation method, the bowl basket of the dishwasher can also be provided with a transmission mechanism 500. The transmission mechanism 500 is directly or indirectly connected to the common driving mechanism.

[0154] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4In the first embodiment, the transmission mechanism 500 is indirectly connected to the common driving mechanism, and the transmission mechanism 500 is arranged between the second end of the rotating shaft 300 and the rotating bracket 400, and can convert the rotation of the rotating shaft 300 along the first direction into the alternating rotation of the rotating bracket 400 along the second direction and in the direction opposite to the second direction.

[0155] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 500 is indirectly connected to the common driving mechanism through the rotating shaft 300. The transmission mechanism 500 can be arranged near the second end of the rotating shaft 300, and the transmission mechanism 500 is connected to the second end of the rotating shaft 300 and is connected to the rotating bracket 400, so that the rotation of the rotating shaft 300 in the first direction can be converted into the alternating rotation of the rotating bracket 400 in the second direction and in the direction opposite to the second direction.

[0156] like Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, on the transmission path in this embodiment, the common driving mechanism, the transmission shaft, the transmission mechanism 500, and the rotating bracket 400 are sequentially connected in transmission.

[0157] The first end of the rotating shaft 300 is transmission-connected with the common driving mechanism, and the power output by the common driving mechanism can be transmitted to the first end of the rotating shaft 300, thereby driving the rotating shaft 300 to rotate; the second end of the rotating shaft 300 is transmission-connected with the transmission mechanism 500, and the rotating shaft 300 transmits the power to the transmission mechanism 500; the input end of the transmission mechanism 500 is transmission-connected with the rotating shaft 300 for receiving the power transmitted by the rotating shaft 300, and the output end of the transmission mechanism 500 is transmission-connected with the rotating bracket 400, and finally the rotation of the common driving mechanism can drive the rotating bracket 400 to rotate alternately along the second direction and along the direction opposite to the second direction.

[0158] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 , wherein the transmission mechanism 500 may include: a reduction assembly 510, the reduction assembly 510 is used to reduce the speed and increase the torque of the power output by the common driving mechanism and then output it; a swing output assembly 520, the swing output assembly 520 can be driven by the reduction assembly 510, and the swing output assembly 520 is rotatably connected to the rotating bracket 400, and can drive the rotating bracket 400 and the tableware 600 supported by the rotating bracket 400 to swing.

[0159] In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 500 may include a deceleration assembly 510 for decelerating and torque-increasing the power output by the common driving mechanism. Of course, in some embodiments, when the rotation speed of the rotating shaft 300 is low enough, the deceleration assembly 510 may be omitted.

[0160] In a specific implementation, the reduction assembly 510 may include: a reduction gear pair and a worm gear pair.

[0161] The reduction gear pair may include at least one set of meshing pinion gears 511 and large gears 512. The worm gear pair may include meshing worm gears 513 and worm gears 514.

[0162] For example, the pinion 511 can be driven and matched with the second end of the rotating shaft 300, so that it is driven to rotate by the rotating shaft 300, and drives the large gear 512 meshing with it to rotate, so as to reduce the output speed and increase the torque. One end of the worm 513 can be fixed at the center of the large gear 512, so that it is driven to rotate by the large gear 512; the rotating worm 513 can drive the worm wheel 514 meshing with it to rotate, so as to further reduce the output speed and increase the torque; in addition, the structure of the worm wheel 514 and the worm 513 can only realize relative one-way rotation, and it itself has a self-locking function to prevent reverse rotation. When the worm gear pair is used in the bowl basket of a dishwasher, the self-locking function can be used to reliably limit the rotating bracket 400 to prevent the rotating bracket 400 from rotating beyond the predetermined angle range in some special cases. For example, it can prevent the rotating bracket 400 from rotating beyond a predetermined angle range under the action of external force (such as when heavy tableware 600 is pressed down instantaneously), thereby causing the tableware 600 to move to an angle that is not conducive to cleaning.

[0163] In addition, in some embodiments, for example, when the second driving mechanism that drives the rotating bracket 400 to rotate is a hydraulic driving mechanism and a worm gear pair with a self-locking function is provided in the transmission mechanism 500, the position where the hydraulic driving mechanism stops rotating can correspond one-to-one with the position where the rotating bracket 400 stops rotating, that is, when the hydraulic driving mechanism stops at a certain position, the rotating bracket 400 can be controlled to stop at the corresponding position, so that the rotating bracket 400 can effectively and reliably support the tableware 600.

[0164] In addition, in some embodiments, for example, when the second driving mechanism driving the rotating bracket 400 to rotate is an electric driving mechanism, the electric driving mechanism may specifically include a motor capable of accurately controlling the angular displacement of the rotation, such as a stepping motor, etc. The electric driving mechanism can be used to control the rotating bracket 400 to stop accurately at the current position, and the electric driving mechanism has a self-locking function, which can ensure that the rotating bracket 400 stopped at the current position can effectively and reliably support the tableware 600.

[0165] like Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, in a specific embodiment, the swing output assembly 520 is used to form a four-bar linkage.

[0166] In this embodiment, the swing output assembly 520 can be used to form a four-bar linkage, and the four-bar linkage is used to switch the circumferential rotation to reciprocating swing. Specifically, the four-bar linkage may include: a rotating wheel 521 arranged concentrically with the worm gear 514, a connecting portion is arranged on the rotating wheel 521 at a position deviating from the rotation center; a crank 522, one end of the crank 522 is rotationally connected to the connecting portion of the rotating wheel 521, and the other end of the crank 522 is rotationally connected to one end of the rotating bracket 400. The rotating wheel 521 and the crank 522 are used to cooperate with part of the rotating bracket 400 to form a four-bar linkage, thereby driving the tableware 600 to reciprocate.

[0167] like Figure 2A and Figure 2B As shown, in some embodiments, taking the example that the first motion mechanism includes a rotating shaft 300 and the second motion mechanism includes a rotating bracket 400, the rotating bracket 400 may include: at least one group of support components, the support components including: a first base rod 411, the first base rod 411 may include a first part 4111 for receiving rotational power and a second part 4112 rotatably connected to the frame body 100; a support member 412, one end of the support member 412 is fixed to the second part 4112 of the first base rod 411, and can contact the tableware 600.

[0168] In this embodiment, the rotating bracket 400 may include at least one group of supporting components, and the supporting components may include a first base rod 411 and a supporting member 412. The second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 is rotatably connected to the frame body 100, and the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 extends axially perpendicular to the rotating shaft 300. The specific manner in which the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 is rotatably connected to the frame body 100 may be a hole-shaft connection, and the specific matching form of the hole-shaft connection is not limited exclusively in this application.

[0169] The first portion 4111 may be an upwardly bent section formed by the second portion 4112 at one end close to the crank 522. The end of the first portion 4111 away from the second portion 4112 may be used to receive the rotational power transmitted by the crank 522, thereby driving the first base rod 411 to swing. Specifically, the first portion 4111 may be rotationally connected to the crank 522. In addition, the first portion 4111 may also be indirectly connected to the crank 522 through an intermediate transition piece, such as a connecting piece.

[0170] In a specific embodiment, the support member 412 may include a plurality of support members 412 , and the plurality of support members 412 are spaced apart and distributed along the extension direction of the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 .

[0171] For example, the support member 412 may include two support members 412, which are spaced apart along the extension direction of the second part 4112 of the first base rod 411, and the upper parts of the two support members 412 respectively contact the upper edges of the tableware 600, thereby providing support force for the tableware 600, and when the rotating bracket 400 swings, it can drive the tableware 600 to swing together.

[0172] Alternatively, in another specific embodiment, the support member 412 cooperates with the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 to form a circumferentially closed frame.

[0173] For example, the support member 412 may be constructed in a semi-frame structure with one end open, and the open end thereof cooperates with the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411 to form a circumferentially closed frame structure. Specifically, the support member 412 may include a first rod and a second rod connected to the second portion 4112 of the first base rod 411, and a third rod located between the first rod and the second rod. The third rod may contact the upper edge of the tableware 600, thereby providing a supporting force for the tableware 600, and when the rotating bracket 400 swings, the tableware 600 can be driven to swing together.

[0174] Of course, the specific structural form of the support member 412 can also be other forms and is not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0175] In one embodiment, the rotating bracket 400 includes multiple groups of support components, which are arranged axially at intervals along the rotating shaft 300. The rotating bracket 400 also includes: a second base rod 413, which extends in the same direction as the rotating shaft 300 as a whole; multiple connecting members are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the second base rod 413; the multiple connecting members include a first connecting member 414 arranged near the power output end of the second driving mechanism and at least one second connecting member 415 arranged at intervals from the first connecting member 414; the first connecting member 414 is rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the corresponding first base rod 411, and one end of the second base rod 413 is connected to the first connecting member 414; the second connecting member 415 is connected to the second base rod 413 and is rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the corresponding first base rod 411.

[0176] In this embodiment, considering that the bowl basket generally needs to wash multiple tableware 600 at the same time, in order to enable multiple tableware 600 to swing using the same driving mechanism and the same set of rotating brackets 400, the rotating bracket 400 may include multiple groups of support components, a second base rod 413 and multiple connecting parts.

[0177] The specific structure and connection relationship of the support assembly can refer to the above description, and the present application will not repeat them here. Multiple groups of support assemblies are arranged axially along the rotating shaft 300, and the distance of the arrangement can be adapted to the distance required for the tableware 600 to be spaced apart, and the specific value is not specifically limited in the present application.

[0178] The second base rod 413 and the connecting piece cooperate to drive the multiple supporting components to move synchronously. The second base rod 413 can be a longitudinally extending rod, which can be installed in the bowl basket through the connecting piece.

[0179] The connector may include multiple connectors, which may include a first connector 414 located near the power output end of the second drive mechanism (e.g., crank 522) and at least one second connector 415 spaced apart from the first connector 414, depending on the different locations. Each connector is matched with a group of support components.

[0180] The first connecting member 414 can be rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411 in the supporting assembly matched with the first connecting member 414. In addition, the first connecting member 414 can also be used to connect one end of the second base rod 413, that is, to position and install one end of the second base rod 413. The second connecting member 415 can be connected to the second base rod 413, and the second connecting member 415 is rotatably connected to the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411 in the supporting assembly matched with the first connecting member 414. The specific mode of the rotatable connection can be a hole-shaft connection, and the specific matching form of the hole-shaft connection is not limited to the present application.

[0181] The first connecting member 414 may be a plastic integrated member, which is provided with a mounting hole for rotatably connecting the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411. In addition, the first connecting member 414 may also be provided with a limiting portion for installing the second base rod 413, and the limiting portion may specifically be a clamping member. Of course, the specific form of the limiting portion may also be other forms, and the present application does not make a sole limitation here.

[0182] like Figure 2A As shown, one end of the second base rod 413 can pass through the limiting portion and cooperate with a small gap in the part where the first base rod 411 and the first connecting member 414 rotate to cooperate, so as not to affect the swing of the first base rod 411; in addition, when the first base rod 411 accidentally detaches from the first connecting member during the swinging process, the first connecting member 414 can also be limited.

[0183] The specific form of the second connecting member 415 can be similar to that of the first connecting member 414 , can be installed on the second base rod 413 , and is provided with a mounting hole for rotatably connecting the first part 4111 of the first base rod 411 .

[0184] Of course, the specific forms of the first connecting member 414 and the second connecting member 415 can also be other forms and are not limited to the above description. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0185] Please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 In the second embodiment, the transmission mechanism 500 is directly connected to the common driving mechanism. The transmission mechanism 500 is arranged near the first end of the rotating shaft 300, and can convert the rotation of the common driving mechanism along the first direction into the alternating rotation of the rotating bracket 400 along the second direction and in the direction opposite to the second direction.

[0186] In this embodiment, the main difference from the first embodiment described above is the installation position of the transmission mechanism 500. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism 500 is arranged close to the first end of the rotating shaft 300, so that when other functional components, such as the spacing adjustment component 700, are installed on the second end of the rotating shaft 300, there will be no interference with other functional components. Of course, compared with the above-mentioned indirect transmission method, the transmission mechanism 500 of the present application is directly driven by a common driving mechanism, without the need for the rotating shaft 300 as an intermediate transmission member, which can effectively shorten the transmission path, thereby improving the reliability and stability of the transmission. Even if the rotating shaft 300 fails, it will not affect the operation of the rotating bracket 400, that is, the tableware 600 can still maintain swing cleaning.

[0187] Specifically, the specific composition, matching relationship and functions realized by the transmission mechanism 500 can refer to the specific description of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the present application will not repeat them here. Among them, the main difference of the transmission mechanism 500 in the transmission connection relationship is that the pinion 511 is concentrically arranged with the last stage output gear of the common drive mechanism.

[0188] See also Fig. 9 In this embodiment, when the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism are the same common driving mechanism, the common driving mechanism may also be an electric driving mechanism 220 .

[0189] See also Fig.10 In the second type of implementation of the present application, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism may be different driving mechanisms.

[0190] In this embodiment, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism can be different types of drive mechanisms. When the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism are different drive mechanisms, the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism can be connected to the controller of the dishwasher, and the working states of the first drive mechanism and the second drive mechanism can be flexibly controlled according to the control program stored in the controller, thereby further improving the cleaning effect, improving the energy-saving and environmental protection effect, and improving the overall user experience.

[0191] In one embodiment, when the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the first driving mechanism controls the first motion mechanism to drive the tableware 600 to rotate in a first direction and / or in a direction opposite to the first direction, while the second driving mechanism controls the second motion mechanism to drive the tableware 600 to rotate in a second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction.

[0192] In this embodiment, when the dishwasher is in the cleaning state, the movement state of the tableware 600 can be similar to the movement state driven by the same common driving mechanism as mentioned above, which can drive the tableware 600 to rotate continuously or reciprocate along the axis (center line) of the tableware 600 itself; at the same time, it can drive the tableware 600 to rotate or reciprocate in another direction.

[0193] Alternatively, in another embodiment, when the dishwasher is in a cleaning state, the first driving mechanism controls the first motion mechanism to drive the tableware 600 to rotate along a first direction and / or in a direction opposite to the first direction for a first period of time, and the second driving mechanism controls the second motion mechanism to drive the tableware 600 to rotate along a second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction for a second period of time, and the first period of time and the second period of time at least partially do not overlap.

[0194] Since the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism are driven by different driving mechanisms, the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism can be controlled in a time-sharing manner, so that the first motion mechanism and the second motion mechanism can be controlled in a time-sharing manner, so that the rotation in the first direction and / or opposite to the first direction and the rotation in the second direction and / or in a direction opposite to the second direction may not be performed completely simultaneously.

[0195] Specifically, for example, while the first driving mechanism controls the first motion mechanism to drive the tableware 600 to rotate in a first direction and / or in a direction opposite to the first direction for a first period of time, the second driving mechanism controls the second motion mechanism to drive the tableware 600 to rotate in a second direction by a certain angle.

[0196] Taking the first driving mechanism as the hydraulic driving mechanism 210, the second driving mechanism as the electric driving mechanism 220, the first motion mechanism as the rotating shaft 300, and the second motion mechanism as the rotating bracket 400 as an example, when the dishwasher is in the cleaning state, the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 starts to drive the rotating shaft 300 to rotate along the first direction; during the process of the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 driving the rotating shaft 300 to move, the electric driving mechanism 220 may not be started, and when the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 pauses spraying, the electric driving mechanism 220 starts to rotate the rotating bracket 400 along the second direction by a certain angle, thereby adjusting the contact angle between the tableware 600 and the spray liquid. During the entire cleaning process, the hydraulic driving mechanism 210 may pause spraying multiple times so that the electric driving mechanism 220 can start and adjust the angle of the rotating bracket 400.

[0197] Of course, when the dishwasher is in the cleaning state, the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 can be in a continuous spraying state, that is, the spraying can continue, and the electric drive mechanism 220 can be turned on at intervals during the operation of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, so as to adjust the angle of the rotating bracket 400, thereby adjusting the contact angle between the tableware 600 and the spray liquid.

[0198] Specifically, the working methods of the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 and the electric drive mechanism 220 are not limited to the above examples, but may also be other methods. Technical personnel in the relevant field may make other changes inspired by the technical essence of this application, but as long as the functions and effects achieved are the same or similar to those of this application, they should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.

[0199] Alternatively, in a specific embodiment, at least a swing output component 520 is further provided between the second driving mechanism and the second motion mechanism, and the swing output component 520 is used to convert the rotation of the second driving mechanism into alternating rotation of the rotating bracket 400 along the second direction and along a direction opposite to the second direction; the second motion mechanism rotates alternately along the second direction and along a direction opposite to the second direction within a predetermined angle range, driving the tableware 600 to swing within the predetermined angle range.

[0200] In this embodiment, at least a swing output assembly 520 is further provided between the second driving mechanism and the second motion mechanism, and the swing output assembly 520 is used to convert the rotation of the second driving mechanism into the alternating rotation of the rotating bracket 400 along the second direction and along the direction opposite to the second direction. The swing output assembly 520 can be specifically described in the first embodiment above, and the present application will not elaborate on it here.

[0201] In addition, according to the matching degree between the swing speed requirement of the tableware 600 and the output speed of the second drive mechanism, it can be determined whether it is necessary to set a transmission mechanism 500 for reducing speed and increasing torque. For example, when the speed output by the second drive mechanism is much greater than the speed required for the swing of the tableware 600, a corresponding transmission mechanism 500 can be added. Specifically, the transmission mechanism 500 can refer to the specific description in the first embodiment above, and this application will not elaborate on it here.

[0202] Taking a simpler implementation as an example, the second drive mechanism (taking the electric drive mechanism 220 as an example), the swing output component 520, and the second motion mechanism (taking the rotating bracket 400 as an example) are sequentially connected by transmission, and the second drive mechanism transmits power to the swing output component 520, and the swing output component 520 converts rotation into swinging, driving the rotating bracket 400 to swing, and the rotating bracket 400 rotates alternately along the second direction and the direction opposite to the second direction within a predetermined angle range, driving the tableware 600 to swing within the predetermined angle range.

[0203] When the second driving mechanism is an electric driving mechanism 220, the parameters output by the electric driving mechanism 220, such as the rotation speed, can be precisely controlled, and the rotation direction can be flexibly adjusted, which is conducive to reliably controlling the movement of the rotating bracket 400 within a predetermined angle range, and preventing it from exceeding the predetermined angle and being unable to reset. The predetermined angle range can also refer to the specific description of the above embodiment, and this application will not repeat it here.

[0204] A dishwasher is also provided in an embodiment of the present application, and the dishwasher includes the bowl basket of the above-mentioned dishwasher. The dishwasher can achieve the technical effect achieved by the bowl basket embodiment of the dishwasher by providing the bowl basket of the dishwasher. For details, please refer to the specific description of the above-mentioned embodiment, and the present application will not repeat them here.

[0205] In this embodiment, the dishwasher may further include a spray device for spraying the tableware 600 .

[0206] The spray device can be used to spray and clean the objects to be cleaned in the bowl basket, such as tableware 600 and / or kitchen utensils. When the spray device is working, it is connected to the liquid supply system, so as to provide spray liquid for cleaning the objects to be cleaned in the bowl basket. Among them, the liquid supply system can be a system that can provide spray liquid to the spray device. Specifically, the liquid supply system can be a tap water source to provide normal temperature water to the spray device; the liquid supply system can also be provided with a heating device, and the normal temperature water is heated by the heating device to provide hot water to the spray device. In addition, the liquid supply system of the cleaning machine can also be superimposed with other functional modules, such as a soft water module, so as to provide water softened by the soft water module to the spray device.

[0207] When the spray device is working, it can be positioned at one or several designated positions to spray the object to be cleaned in a directional manner; or, the spray device can be in a rotating state when working to spray the object to be cleaned in a rotating manner, or it can be a superposition of the above multiple spray states, etc. When the spray device is in a rotating state when spraying the object to be cleaned, its rotational power can be hydraulically driven, electrically driven, magnetically driven, or can be a superposition of two or more driving forces, and can also be combined with other forms of driving forms.

[0208] Specifically, the spray device may include at least one spray arm provided with a nozzle. Of course, the spray device may also include other structures or be in other forms, and the present application does not make any specific limitation thereto.

[0209] In this embodiment, at least one of the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism is a hydraulic driving mechanism 210. Specifically, the first driving mechanism may be a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, or both the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism may be a hydraulic driving mechanism 210, or the first driving mechanism and the second driving mechanism may be the same hydraulic driving mechanism 210.

[0210] The dishwasher may further include a water pump, and the spray device and the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 are supplied with liquid by the water pump. The water pump is connected to the spray device and is used to provide a flow power for the cleaning liquid to rinse the objects to be cleaned. In addition, when the driving mechanism is a hydraulic drive mechanism 210, the water pump is connected to the hydraulic drive mechanism 210, thereby providing the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 with a power to drive the water wheel in the hydraulic drive mechanism 210 to rotate.
