Description

Technical Field

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

[0002] A dishwasher is a household appliance used to clean cooking utensils and kitchen supplies. The dishwasher can use an electric motor to drive a water pump to pressurize water, mix clean water with detergent, and spray it onto the tableware to rinse it, thereby removing grease and food residues. Dishwashers greatly facilitate the cleaning of tableware in daily life.

[0003] Generally, a dishwasher includes a rack and a cup holder, and the cup holder is arranged on the rack. The cup holder can be used to place and protect cups, so that the cups can stand firmly and spread out, reducing the risk of damage caused by collision between cups.

[0004] However, after the cup holder is folded, it will occupy a large space in the height direction of the dishwasher, affecting the dishwasher's capacity to accommodate tableware. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present application provides a dishwasher for solving the problem that a teacup holder occupies a large space in the height direction of the dishwasher.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the embodiment of the present application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] An embodiment of the present application provides a dishwasher, which includes a housing, a shelf, a cup holder and a connector. A washing chamber is formed inside the housing. The shelf is arranged in the washing chamber, and includes a bottom wall and a side wall, wherein the side wall is located on one side of the bottom wall and is arranged around the bottom wall. The cup holder is arranged in the washing chamber. One end of the connector is rotatably connected to the side wall, and the other end is slidably connected to the cup holder. The cup holder has an unfolded state and a retracted state. When the cup holder is in the retracted state, the sliding direction of the cup holder intersects with the plane where the bottom wall is located.

[0008] In the dishwasher provided by the embodiment of the present application, the connecting piece rotates relative to the side wall, so that the cup holder rotates relative to the side wall. At the same time, the cup holder can slide relative to the connecting piece. Since the sliding direction of the cup holder intersects with the plane where the bottom wall is located when the cup holder is in the retracted state, the cup holder can slide along the height direction of the dishwasher.

[0009] In this way, when the cup holder is in the retracted state, the cup holder can slide along the height direction of the dishwasher. Therefore, the dishwasher provided by the embodiment of the present application can reduce the space occupied by the cup holder in the height direction of the dishwasher, thereby saving space in the height direction of the dishwasher and increasing the storage capacity of the dishwasher.

[0010] In some embodiments of the present application, a sliding groove is formed on the teacup holder. The connecting member includes a rotating part and a sliding part. One end of the rotating part is rotatably connected to the side wall. The sliding part is located in the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the sliding portion is rotatably connected in the sliding groove, and the rotation axis of the sliding portion is parallel to the bottom wall.

[0012] In some embodiments of the present application, the teacup holder includes a plurality of first connecting rods and a plurality of second connecting rods. The plurality of first connecting rods are arranged in parallel at intervals. The plurality of second connecting rods are arranged in parallel at intervals, and the plurality of second connecting rods are arranged crosswise with the plurality of first connecting rods and are connected to each other. Two adjacent second connecting rods are respectively provided with sliding grooves, and the two ends of the sliding part are respectively located in the two sliding grooves.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the side wall includes a side support rod. The rotating part is provided with a connecting hole. The side support rod is located in the connecting hole and is rotatably connected to the rotating part.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the side wall includes a side support rod. When the teacup holder rotates to be parallel to the bottom wall, the teacup holder is located on a side of the side support rod close to the bottom wall and abuts against the side support rod. The dishwasher also includes a plurality of hooks. The plurality of hooks are connected to the teacup holder. When the teacup holder rotates to be parallel to the bottom wall, a portion of the hook is located on a side of the support rod away from the bottom wall, and a portion is arranged around the side support rod. The plurality of hooks are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the side support rod.

[0015] In some embodiments of the present application, the outer wall of the rotating part is formed with reinforcing ribs.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, there are multiple connecting members, one end of each of the multiple connecting members is rotatably connected to the side wall, and the other end is slidably connected to the teacup holder.

[0017] In some embodiments of the present application, a portion of the hook is opposite to the teacup holder and is spaced apart. The end of the hook away from the teacup holder has an inclined surface on one side close to the teacup holder. Along the extension direction of the hook and away from the end of the hook connected to the teacup holder, the distance between the inclined surface and the teacup holder gradually increases.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the teacup holder further comprises a hanging portion connected to the first connecting rod or the second connecting rod. The hanging portion is located on one side of the plurality of first connecting rods and the plurality of second connecting rods. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0039] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative position relationship, movement status, etc. between the components under a certain specific posture (as shown in the accompanying drawings). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0040] The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of the indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0041] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "connected" and "connection" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, when describing a pipeline, the "connected" and "connection" used in this application have the meaning of conduction. The specific meaning needs to be understood in conjunction with the context.

[0042] In the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the embodiments of the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs. Specifically, the use of words such as "exemplary" or "for example" is intended to present related concepts in a specific way.

[0043] A dishwasher is a household appliance used to clean cooking utensils and kitchen supplies. It uses an electric motor to drive a water pump to pressurize water, mix clean water with detergent, and then spray it onto the tableware to rinse it, thereby removing grease and food residues.

[0044] In addition, modern dishwashers also have multiple functional designs such as quietness and intelligent control, which greatly facilitates the work of cleaning dishes in daily family life and makes people's lives more convenient.

[0045] Inside the dishwasher, there are often adjustable baskets and racks to hold tableware of different sizes and shapes. Generally, the dishwasher includes a cup holder and a rack. The cup holder can be used to place and protect cups. The cup holder allows the cups to stand firmly and spread out, reducing the risk of damage caused by collisions between cups. The rack includes a bottom wall and a side wall; the bottom wall and the side wall enclose a storage space for accommodating tableware, and the cup holder is movably connected to the side wall and can be unfolded or retracted.

[0046] In order to enable the teacup holder to be unfolded or folded, one end of the teacup holder can be rotatably connected to the side wall. During the folding process of the teacup holder, one end of the teacup holder rotates relative to the side wall, and the other end of the teacup holder moves away from the bottom wall, thereby completing the folding of the teacup holder.

[0047] The dishwasher may also have multiple racks arranged in the height direction. However, after the cup holder is folded, since the other end of the cup holder is away from the bottom wall, the cup holder will occupy a large space in the height direction of the dishwasher, interfere with the rack at the top of the dishwasher, and affect the dishwasher's capacity for accommodating tableware.

[0048] In the related art, it is necessary to provide a protrusion on the structure of the cup holder itself, so that the cup holder can be folded along the height direction through the protrusion, and then the cup holder can be stored along the height direction of the dishwasher. However, the protrusion of the structure of the cup holder itself will affect the flatness and stability of the cup holder when placing the cup in the unfolded state, making it inconvenient to place the cup.

[0049] Based on this, see Figure 1 , Figure 1 1 is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The present application provides a dishwasher 100, which may include a housing 1, and a washing chamber 11 ( Figure 2 The housing 1 can provide bearing and support for the internal components and tableware of the dishwasher 100, and protect the internal components of the dishwasher 100.

[0050] The washing chamber 11 can be used to accommodate tableware such as bowls and plates to be washed, and operations such as washing, heating, drying, and disinfecting the tableware can be carried out in the washing chamber 11.

[0051] Among them, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 The second structural diagram of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The housing 1 may include a side panel 12 and a bottom panel (located behind the side panel 12, not shown in the figure), and the side panel 12 is arranged around the bottom panel to form a washing chamber 11 with an opening. For example, Figure 2 As shown, the housing 1 forms a substantially rectangular washing chamber 11 .

[0052] Continue reading Figure 2 The dishwasher 100 may further include a door body 2, which is rotatably connected to the housing 1 and installed at the opening of the washing chamber 11, and is used to open and close the washing chamber 11. When the door body 2 opens the washing chamber 11, the user can put dishes such as bowls and plates to be washed into the washing chamber 11 from the opening of the washing chamber 11 for washing.

[0053] The position of the door 2 is different for different types of dishwashers 100. For example, the door 2 may be located at the side of the dishwasher 100, and the user puts the dishes to be washed into the washing chamber 11 from the side of the dishwasher 100. The door 2 may also be located at the top of the dishwasher 100, and the user puts the dishes to be washed into the washing chamber 11 from the top of the dishwasher 100.

[0054] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the dishwasher 100 may further include a base 3, which is located below the housing 1 and connected to the housing 1. A water tank (not shown in the figure) is formed inside the base 3, and the water tank is communicated with the washing cavity 11.

[0055] In order to deliver the water in the sink to the washing chamber 11, the dishwasher 100 may further include a water pump and a spray arm (both not shown in the figure). The spray arm is installed in the washing chamber 11, and a spray port is provided at one end of the spray arm. The washing water for washing dishes is sprayed onto the dishes through the spray port to clean the dishes.

[0056] There may be multiple spray arms, which are disposed at different positions of the washing chamber 11 to wash the dishes in an all-round manner, thereby ensuring the washing effect of the dishwasher 100 .

[0057] The water tank is located at the bottom of the washing chamber 11 and is connected to the washing chamber 11. Figure 2 The water pump can be installed in the base 3 and connected to the water tank to pump the water in the water tank into the spray arm. In this way, with the power of the water pump, the water in the water tank is pumped into the spray arm and sprayed out from the spray port of the spray arm to wash the tableware.

[0058] The water sprayed from the spray arm will eventually fall to the bottom of the washing chamber 11, flow into the water tank, and be pumped to the spray arm again. The dishwasher 100 achieves the cleaning of the dishes through the above-mentioned continuous cycle spraying process.

[0059] For easy placement of dishes to be washed, see Figure 3 , Figure 3 The structural schematic diagram of a rack 4 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The dishwasher 100 may further include a rack 4. The rack 4 is disposed in the washing cavity 11, and the rack 4 may provide bearing and support for tableware.

[0060] The rack 4 may be placed at the bottom of the washing chamber 11. The number of the racks 4 may also be multiple, and the multiple racks 4 are placed at different heights of the washing chamber 11 along the height direction.

[0061] The shelf 4 can be slidably connected to the housing 1. In this way, after the user opens the door 2, the shelf 4 can be directly pulled to slide out of the washing chamber 11.

[0062] The shelf 4 may include a bottom wall 41 and a side wall 42. The side wall 42 is located at one side of the bottom wall 41 and is disposed around a circumference of the bottom wall 41.

[0063] The bottom wall 41 of the shelf 4 is a basic plane for placing tableware, which can carry and support the tableware. The side wall 42 can limit and guide the tableware, and can reduce the risk of the tableware shifting and falling during the flushing of the water flow.

[0064] Among them, Figure 3As shown, the bottom wall 41 can be formed by a plurality of support rods 43 cross-arranged to form a mesh structure, and the side wall 42 can also be formed by a plurality of support rods 43 cross-arranged to surround the bottom wall 41 , and the frame space finally formed is a wireframe structure formed by the support rods 43 .

[0065] The bottom wall 41 and the plurality of support rods 43 of the side wall 42 are connected to each other at the intersections between the support rods 43. Since the frame space is a wireframe structure, when washing dishes, washing water can be sprayed onto the dishes through the gaps between the wireframe structures to ensure the washing effect. The support rods 43 can be made of iron wire.

[0066] For example, see Figure 3 , a portion of the support rod 43 forms the bottom wall 41, and both ends are bent toward one side to form the side wall 42. Another portion of the support rod 43 forms the bottom wall 41 alone or forms a portion of the side wall 42. For example, see Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a rack 4 and a rack handle 5 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The dishwasher 100 may further include a rack handle 5.

[0067] See also Figure 5 , Figure 5 The second structural schematic diagram of the rack 4 and the rack handle 5 of the dishwasher 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The rack handle 5 has a mounting cavity 51 formed inside and a mounting opening 52 communicating with the mounting cavity 51, and a portion of the side wall 42 extends into the mounting cavity 51 through the mounting opening 52 and is engaged with the rack handle 5.

[0068] Thus, when installing the shelf handle 5, it is only necessary to extend a portion of the side wall 42 into the installation cavity 51 through the installation opening 52 and engage with the shelf handle 5. When removing the shelf handle 5, it is only necessary to remove a portion of the side wall 42 from the installation cavity 51 through the installation opening 52 to complete the removal of the shelf handle 5.

[0069] Therefore, when the rack handle 5 is installed before the dishwasher 100 leaves the factory, or when the rack handle 5 is installed and removed during routine maintenance, the rack handle 5 can be installed and removed without the aid of a removal tool. When the rack handle 5 needs to be removed, the installation and removal process of the rack handle 5 is more convenient.

[0070] See also Figure 6 , Figure 6 Schematic diagram of the structure of a rack 4 and a cup holder 6 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The dishwasher 100 may also include a cup holder 6, which is arranged in the washing chamber 11 ( Figure 2). The teacup holder 6 can be used to place and protect the cups. The teacup holder 6 can enable the cups to stand firmly and disperse, reducing the risk of damage caused by collision between the cups.

[0071] See also Figure 7 and Figure 8 , Figure 7 This is one of the structural schematic diagrams of a rack 4, a cup holder 6 and a connector 7 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 8 for Figure 7 The dishwasher 100 may further include a connecting member 7 , one end of which is rotatably connected to the side wall 42 , and the other end of which is slidably connected to the cup holder 6 .

[0072] The connecting member 7 can rotate relative to the side wall 42, so that the teacup holder 6 rotates relative to the side wall 42, and the teacup holder 6 is folded. The connecting member 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall 42 so that the teacup holder 6 can be switched between the folded state and the unfolded state. At the same time, the teacup holder 6 can slide relative to the connecting member 7.

[0073] The teacup holder 6 has an unfolded state and a retracted state. When the teacup holder 6 is in the unfolded state, the teacup holder 6 can make the cups stand firmly and disperse, reducing the risk of damage caused by collision between the cups. When the teacup holder 6 is in the retracted state, the sliding direction of the teacup holder 6 intersects with the plane where the bottom wall 41 is located. The teacup holder 6 can be stored along the height direction.

[0074] In the dishwasher 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application, the connecting member 7 rotates relative to the side wall 42, so that the cup holder 6 rotates relative to the side wall 42. At the same time, the cup holder 6 can slide relative to the connecting member 7. Since the sliding direction of the cup holder 6 intersects with the plane where the bottom wall 41 is located when the cup holder 6 is in the retracted state, the cup holder 6 can slide along the height direction of the dishwasher 100.

[0075] In this way, when the cup holder 6 is in the retracted state, the cup holder 6 can slide along the height direction of the dishwasher 100. Therefore, the dishwasher 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can reduce the space occupied by the cup holder 6 in the height direction of the dishwasher 100, thereby saving space in the height direction of the dishwasher 100 and increasing the storage capacity of the dishwasher 100.

[0076] In this way, there is no need to provide a protrusion on the structure of the cup holder 6 itself to complete the storage of the cup holder 6 in the height direction of the dishwasher 100, which will not affect the flatness and stability of the cups when placed. The cup holder 6 can make the cups stand firmly and disperse, reducing the risk of damage caused by collision between cups.

[0077] In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 , Fig. 9 This is one of the partial enlarged views of a rack 4, a cup holder 6 and a connector 7 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. There are multiple connectors 7, one end of each of the multiple connectors 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall 42, and the other end is slidably connected to the cup holder 6.

[0078] The multiple connectors 7 can evenly bear stress, reduce the risk of local stress concentration, and improve the stability and durability of the overall structure of the shelf 4. At the same time, the multiple connectors 7 provide redundancy. When one connector 7 is damaged or fails, the other connectors 7 can still maintain adaptability, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the shelf 4.

[0079] In some embodiments, see Fig.10 , Fig.10 The second structural schematic diagram of a rack 4, a cup holder 6 and a connector 7 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The rack 4 has a plurality of side walls 42, and the plurality of side walls 42 and a bottom wall 41 form a rectangular receiving space 44 with an opening.

[0080] Exemplarily, a plurality of connectors 7 are disposed on a side wall 42 and spaced apart along the extension direction of the side wall 42 . One end of the plurality of connectors 7 is rotatably connected to the side wall 42 , and the other end of the plurality of connectors 7 is slidably connected to the teacup holder 6 .

[0081] In some embodiments, see Fig.10 The side wall 42 includes a first side wall 45, a second side wall 46, a third side wall 47 and a fourth side wall 48. The first side wall 45, the second side wall 46, the third side wall 47 and the fourth side wall 48 and the bottom wall 41 together form a rectangular receiving space 44 with an opening.

[0082] The first side wall 45 is arranged opposite to the second side wall 46, and the third side wall 47 is arranged opposite to the fourth side wall 48. The first side wall 45 and the second side wall 46 are perpendicular to the plane where the opening of the box body 1 is located. The third side wall 47 and the fourth side wall 48 are parallel to the plane where the opening of the box body 1 is located. Compared with the third side wall 47, the fourth side wall 48 is farther away from the opening of the box body 1.

[0083] Exemplarily, all of the multiple connecting members 7 may be disposed on the first side wall 45 .

[0084] Exemplarily, all of the plurality of connecting members 7 may be disposed on the second side wall 46 .

[0085] Exemplarily, the plurality of connecting members 7 may all be disposed on the third side wall 47 .

[0086] In some embodiments, see Fig.11 , Fig.11The schematic diagram of the structure of a cup holder 6 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. A sliding groove 61 may be formed on the cup holder 6 .

[0087] See also Fig.12 , Fig.12 The structural diagram of a connecting member 7 of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application is shown in FIG. The connecting member 7 may include a rotating portion 71 and a sliding portion 72 .

[0088] See also Fig.13 , Fig.13 This is one of the partial enlarged views of a dishwasher 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application. One end of the rotating portion 71 is rotatably connected to the side wall 42. The sliding portion 72 is located in the sliding groove 61 and is slidably connected to the sliding groove 61.

[0089] In this way, the rotating portion 71 of the connecting member 7 can rotate relative to the side wall 42, so that the teacup holder 6 can rotate relative to the side wall 42, and the sliding portion 72 of the connecting member 7 can slide relative to the sliding groove 61 of the teacup holder 6. The sliding groove 61 can provide a motion track for the movement of the sliding portion 72, so that the sliding portion 72 can slide on a predetermined route. In other words, the sliding of the teacup holder 6 relative to the sliding portion 72 can be more accurate and smooth.

[0090] See also Fig.13 The sliding groove 61 has two oppositely disposed ends. When the teacup holder 6 is in the unfolded state, the sliding portion 72 is located at one end of the sliding groove 61 .

[0091] When the teacup holder 6 is in the retracted state, the teacup holder 6 can move toward the direction close to the bottom wall 41 , so that the sliding portion 72 slides from one end of the sliding groove 61 to the other end of the sliding groove 61 .

[0092] It should be noted that the sliding portion 72 can be in a variety of shapes, which is not limited in the present application and can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0093] For example, see Fig.12 The sliding portion 72 may be a cylinder, which can achieve a sliding motion with a relatively low friction coefficient, making the sliding portion 72 slide more smoothly and further facilitating adjustment of the space occupied by the cup holder 6 in the height direction of the dishwasher 100 .

[0094] Exemplarily, the sliding portion 72 may be a sphere, which can achieve a sliding motion with a relatively low friction coefficient, making the sliding portion 72 slide more smoothly and further facilitating adjustment of the space occupied by the cup holder 6 in the height direction of the dishwasher 100 .

[0095] Exemplarily, the sliding portion 72 may be a rectangular parallelepiped.

[0096] In some embodiments, a sliding groove may be provided on the connecting member 7. The teacup holder 6 may include a protrusion. The protrusion is located in the sliding groove and is slidably connected to the sliding groove.

[0097] In this way, the connecting member 7 rotates, and the protrusion of the teacup holder 6 can slide relative to the sliding groove of the connecting member 7. The sliding groove can provide a motion track for the motion of the protrusion, so that the protrusion can slide on the expected route. In other words, the sliding of the teacup holder 6 relative to the sliding groove can be more accurate and smooth.

[0098] In some embodiments, the sliding portion 72 is rotatably connected in the sliding groove 61 , and the rotation axis of the sliding portion 72 is parallel to the bottom wall 41 .

[0099] By setting the sliding part 72 to be rotatably connected in the sliding groove 61, when the teacup holder 6 is in the folded state, the sliding part 72 can be rotated relative to the sliding groove 61, and the position of the sliding part 72 in the height direction can be adjusted, which is convenient for the teacup holder 6 to remain in the folded state and further saves space in the height direction.

[0100] It should be noted that the present application does not limit the connection position of the sliding portion 72, and the specific connection position can be selected according to actual conditions.

[0101] Exemplarily, the sliding portion 72 may be connected to the middle of the cup holder 6 .

[0102] Exemplarily, the sliding part 72 may be connected to both ends of the teacup holder 6 .

[0109] In some embodiments, see Fig.15 , Fig.15 A partial enlarged view of a shelf 4 and a connecting member 7 provided in an embodiment of the present application. The side wall 42 includes a side support rod 431. The rotating portion 71 is provided with a connecting hole 711 ( Fig.12 ), the side support rod 431 is located in the connection hole 711 and is rotatably connected to the rotating part 71. The side support rod 431 is inserted into the connection hole 711, and the rotating part 71 can rotate relative to the side support rod 431, that is, the connecting member 7 can rotate relative to the side wall 42.

[0110] At the same time, if Fig.12 As shown, a notch is formed on the rotating part 71. In this way, when disassembling and installing, the rotating part 71 can be installed and disassembled with the side support rod 431 through the notch, and the operation is more convenient.

[0111] It should be noted that the rotating part 71 and the side wall 42 may also be rotatably connected in other ways, for example, the side support rod 431 is formed with an avoidance hole 64, and the rotating part 71 is located in the avoidance hole 64 and is rotatably connected to the side support rod 431. The specific selection can be made according to actual conditions, and this application does not limit this.

[0112] Exemplarily, when the teacup holder 6 is in the unfolded state, the teacup holder 6 is parallel to the bottom wall 41. Fig.10 As shown, when the teacup holder 6 rotates to be parallel to the bottom wall 41, the teacup holder 6 can be located on the side support rod 431 ( Fig.15 ) is close to one side of the bottom wall 41 and abuts against the side support rod 431.

[0113] See also Fig.16 , Fig.16The second partial enlarged view of the rack 4, the cup holder 6 and the connector 7 of the dishwasher 100 provided in the embodiment of the present application. The dishwasher 100 further includes a plurality of hooks 65. The plurality of hooks 65 are connected to the cup holder 6, that is, the plurality of hooks 65 are connected to the first connecting rod 62 or the second connecting rod 63 of the cup holder 6. When the cup holder 6 rotates to be parallel to the bottom wall 41, a portion of the hook 65 is located on the side of the side support rod 431 away from the bottom wall 41, and a portion of the hook 65 is arranged around the side support rod 431.

[0114] When the teacup holder 6 rotates to be parallel to the bottom wall 41 , the teacup holder 6 is in an unfolded state, and the portion of the hook 65 disposed around the side support rod 431 is engaged with the side support rod 431 .

[0115] In this way, the hook 65 can ensure that the cup holder 6 is firmly fixed, reduce the risk of the cup holder 6 moving or tipping over during the operation of the dishwasher 100, and ensure the stability of the overall structure of the dishwasher 100.

[0116] When the cup holder 6 is rotated to the stowed state, the portion of the hook 65 disposed around the side support rod 431 is disengaged from the side support rod 431. In this way, it is convenient for the user to disassemble and install, and it is convenient to adjust the position of the hook 65 without affecting the rotation of the cup holder 6.

[0117] In some embodiments, a portion of the hook 65 is opposite to and spaced from the teacup holder 6 , and an end of the hook 65 away from the teacup holder 6 has an inclined surface on a side close to the teacup holder 6 .

[0118] Along the extending direction of the hook 65 and away from the end of the hook 65 connected to the cup holder 6 , the distance between the inclined surface and the cup holder 6 gradually increases.

[0119] The inclined surface can play a guiding role, reduce resistance, improve the accuracy of the position and angle of the engagement or disengagement of the hook 65 and the side wall 42, and reduce the phenomenon of jamming or misalignment.

[0120] In some embodiments, the end of the hook 65 away from the cup holder 6 and close to the cup holder 6 does not have an inclined surface.

[0121] In some embodiments, see Fig.16 A reinforcing rib 712 is formed on the outer wall of the rotating portion 71 .

[0122] The reinforcing ribs 712 can improve the bearing capacity and anti-deformation ability of the rotating part 71 , disperse stress distribution, reduce the risk of local stress concentration, and improve the stability of the overall structure of the dishwasher 100 .

[0123] In addition, compared to improving the structural strength by increasing the thickness or size of the rotating part 71, the reinforcing ribs 712 can reduce the weight and manufacturing cost while ensuring the structural strength.

[0124] For example, see Fig.16 There may be a plurality of reinforcing ribs 712 , and the plurality of reinforcing ribs 712 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the side wall 42 , thereby further strengthening the structural strength of the connecting member 7 .

[0125] In some embodiments, the teacup holder 6 further includes a hanging portion 66. The hanging portion 66 is connected to the first connecting rod 62 or the second connecting rod 63, and is located on one side of the plurality of first connecting rods 62 and the plurality of second connecting rods 63.

[0126] During the rotation of the cup holder 6, at least part of the hooking portion 66 may abut against the side wall 42. When the cup holder 6 rotates to be parallel to the bottom wall 41, the hooking portion 66 may be located at one end of the cup holder 6 away from the side support rod 431 and on a side away from the bottom wall 41.

[0127] During the rotation of the cup holder 6 , when at least a portion of the hanging portion 66 abuts against the side wall 42 , the hanging portion 66 can limit the cup holder 6 , thereby preventing the cup holder 6 from continuing to rotate, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the dishwasher 100 .

[0128] At the same time, the hooking portion 66 can also be used as a limiting component. When the tableware is buckled on the teacup holder 6, the hooking portion 66 can be inside the tableware to limit the tableware from moving back and forth on the surface of the teacup holder 6.

[0129] In some embodiments, the side wall 42 further comprises a plurality of vertical support rods, which are arranged in parallel and spaced apart from each other. The plurality of vertical support rods are arranged crosswise with the side support rods 431. When the teacup holder 6 is in the retracted state, at least part of the vertical support rods abuts against the teacup holder 6.

[0130] In this way, when the teacup holder 6 is in the folded state, the vertical support rod can limit the teacup holder 6 and prevent the teacup holder 6 from continuing to rotate, thereby ensuring the stability of the overall structure of the dishwasher 100.
