[0032] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0033] It should be noted that all directional indications in the embodiments of the present invention (such as up, down, left, right, front, back...) 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.

[0034] 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. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, "plurality" means two or more.

[0035] In the description of the present utility model, 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 the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances. In addition, when describing the pipeline, the "connected" and "connection" used in the present utility model have the meaning of conduction. The specific meaning needs to be understood in conjunction with the context.

[0036] In the embodiments of the present invention, 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 invention 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.

[0037] As described in the background technology, washing dishes is essential in daily life. The oil stains on the dishes can easily lead to greasy hands. At the same time, people's pace of life is getting faster and faster, and the cleaning efficiency is low and the time is long in the process of washing dishes every day. Therefore, dishwashers are increasingly widely used in people's daily lives.

[0038] Traditional dishwashers usually use status lights to indicate their operating status. Although these indicators are useful, they are limited in terms of information transmission and user interaction. Some newer models of dishwashers have begun to integrate digital displays that display information such as remaining time and current wash cycle, providing more information than indicator lights; some of the latest models of dishwashers are connected to mobile device apps and push dishwasher status information.

[0039] Although dishwashers have gradually developed to provide users with more information, users cannot directly observe the specific washing status of the dishwasher through the display panel and can only view it by opening the door. Opening the door will cause the dishwasher to suspend operation, thus affecting the normal operation of the dishwasher.

[0040] Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a dishwasher. Figure 1 As shown, the dishwasher 1000 includes: a dishwasher body 100 and a projection system 200 .

[0041] The dishwasher body 100 includes a dishwasher door 11 and a dishwasher inner cavity 12. The dishwasher door 11 is provided with an opening A. The opening A is located on the front surface of the dishwasher door 11. The front surface is a surface facing the outside.

[0042] Among them, the dishwasher door 11 is equivalent to a switch. When the dishwasher door 11 is in the open state, the dishwasher 1000 cannot work, which is equivalent to protecting the user; only when the dishwasher door is in the completely closed state, the user can start the dishwasher 1000 and the dishwasher can enter the working state.

[0043] The inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher is the working space of the dishwasher, and the structural design of the inner cavity of the dishwasher is crucial to improving the washing effect. For example, the reasonable layout of the water cup, the spray arm base, the diversion assembly, the spray head and other components can effectively avoid washing dead corners and improve the cleanliness of the dishes.

[0044] In some embodiments, the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher adopts a single circular hole jet washing mechanism, the jet is distributed along the axially concentrated center line, and the distribution on the vertical section is Gaussian distribution, and this jet distribution helps to improve the washing efficiency.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The projection system 200 includes: an imaging plate 21 and a projector 22.

[0046] The imaging plate 21 is disposed in the opening A of the dishwasher door 11 ; the projector 22 is disposed in the dishwasher door 11 and projects toward the imaging plate 21 .

[0047] When the dishwasher is in operation, the projector 22 projects the operating status of the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher onto the imaging plate 21 in an animation, and the surface of the imaging plate 21 on one side away from the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher displays the animation.

[0048] For example, when the user clicks "Start", the dishwasher starts working. At this time, the projector will project the animation of the dishwasher working, which can more intuitively display the working process of the dishwasher. If the dishwasher completes the work, the projector will also stop projecting the animation of the dishwasher working.

[0049] In some embodiments, the dishwasher door includes a cavity, and the projector is arranged in the cavity. Therefore, the projector is a micro projector, and has a small size and low heat generation.

[0050] In some embodiments, Figure 3 As shown, the projection system 200 also includes: a projector compartment 23.

[0051] The projector compartment 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the dishwasher door 11, and the projector 22 is placed in the projector compartment 23 to fix the projector. When the user opens and closes the dishwasher door 11, the projector will not shake, and will not affect subsequent use.

[0052] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher includes: at least one bowl basket 31 and a cleaning assembly 32 , and the cleaning assembly 32 is used to clean the kitchenware in the bowl basket 31 .

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The bowl basket 31 is in the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher, and is used for placing kitchen utensils.

[0054] For example, before starting the dishwasher, the user needs to place the kitchen utensils to be cleaned in the bowl basket, then close the dishwasher door, and then start the dishwasher. At this time, the cleaning component 32 in the inner cavity of the dishwasher starts to clean the kitchen utensils. After the dishwasher finishes working, the cleaned kitchen utensils are still placed in the bowl basket, and the user can take them out.

[0055] In some embodiments, a plurality of bowl baskets may be provided so that a plurality of kitchen utensils can be washed at one time.

[0056] like Figure 5 As shown, Figure 5 The invention is a cleaning assembly used for shower cleaning. The cleaning assembly 32 comprises a spray pipe 321 , a connecting shaft 322 , a spray arm 323 and an abutment plate 324 .

[0057] One end of the spray pipe 321 is used to connect to external washing water, and the other end of the spray pipe 321 is connected to the connecting shaft 322. The connection method between the spray pipe 321 and the connecting shaft 322 can be a threaded connection, or it can be a clamping connection or welding, etc., which is not limited here, as long as the relative position of the two can be fixed.

[0058] The abutment plate 324 is arranged below the spray arm 323 and connected to the end of the connecting shaft 322 away from the spray pipe 321. A pre-drain port is opened on the side of the spray arm 323 facing the abutment plate 324. In this way, the washing water is drained through the connection between the spray arm 323 and the pre-drain port.

[0059] That is to say, after the user starts the dishwasher, the washing water will flow through the spray pipe 321 via the connecting shaft 322 to the spray arm 323, and then the washing water will be sprayed onto the kitchen utensils through the spray arm 323 for all-round cleaning; and the abutment plate 324 can play a sealing role, thereby increasing the water pressure, so that the washing water has a higher impact force when it is sprayed out, which is conducive to removing stains attached to the tableware, thereby achieving a better washing effect.

[0060] Some embodiments of the present application provide a dishwasher, which can directly observe the specific operating status of the dishwasher by adding a projection system. After the user starts the dishwasher, the projector in the projection system can project the operating status of the dishwasher onto an imaging board in the form of an animation, and the user can see the animation at the opening of the dishwasher door. The animation is a more intuitive and vivid visual interaction method, which can enhance the user experience; at the same time, it is also applicable in low-light environments.

[0061] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the imaging plate 21 includes: a transparent reflective plate 211 and an imaging film 212 .

[0062] The transparent reflective plate 211 is arranged in the opening A of the dishwasher door 11; the imaging film 212 is pasted on the side of the transparent reflective plate 211 close to the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher; when the dishwasher 1000 is in working state, the projector 22 projects the operating state of the dishwasher 1000 onto the imaging film 212 in an animated manner; the surface of the transparent reflective plate 211 on the side away from the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher displays the animation.

[0063] The transparent reflective plate 211 has two sides, one side faces the inner cavity of the dishwasher, and the other side faces the outside. The imaging film 212 is pasted on the side facing the inner cavity of the dishwasher, and the side facing the outside is convenient for users to watch.

[0064] For example, when the user clicks "Start", the dishwasher starts to work. At this time, the projector will project the projection animation onto the imaging film 212, and the projection animation can be displayed on the imaging film 212; then the user can watch it through the transparent reflector at the opening A of the dishwasher door 11.

[0065] In some embodiments, the transparent reflective sheet is made of a transparent acrylic or polycarbonate sheet, which is known for its durability and clarity.

[0066] In some embodiments, the imaging film is a holographic rear projection film.

[0067] Among them, holographic rear-projection film is a holographic technology commonly used in business. Its working principle is that the projector projects the image directly onto the holographic film. This technology is different from the holographic projection in movies, which can display three-dimensional images in the air without any medium. The use of holographic rear-projection film requires holographic film as the projection medium.

[0068] The function of holographic rear projection film is mainly reflected in its ability to project images directly onto holographic film, thereby producing a realistic three-dimensional effect. This technology does not require viewers to wear any polarized glasses, and they can watch the 3D phantom stereoscopic display without any constraints, giving people a strong visual impact and sense of depth. Therefore, the projection system of the dishwasher in this application can provide users with a more intuitive and vivid visual interaction method through the transparent reflector 211 and the imaging film 212, thereby enhancing the overall user experience.

[0069] In some embodiments, the animation projected by the projector includes: a first projection animation and a second projection animation.

[0070] When the dishwasher is in the washing state, the projector projects the first projection animation. After the dishwasher finishes washing, the projector stops projecting the first projection animation. When the dishwasher is in the drying state, the projector projects the second projection animation. After the dishwasher finishes drying, the projector stops projecting the second projection animation.

[0071] The first projection animation refers to a washing animation in a dishwasher, and the second projection animation refers to a drying animation in a dishwasher.

[0072] For example, when the user clicks "Start", the dishwasher starts working; the inner cavity of the dishwasher first washes, and the projector projects an animation of the dishwasher washing, which is the first projection animation. After the dishwasher finishes washing, the projector stops projecting the first projection animation. Then the inner cavity of the dishwasher starts drying, and the projector projects an animation of the dishwasher drying, which is the second projection animation. After the dishwasher finishes drying, the projector stops projecting the second projection animation. Through the projection system, the working process of the dishwasher can be displayed more intuitively.

[0073] The variety and appeal of animations make user interactions more interesting and enhance the overall user experience. Dynamic projections are more likely to be noticed by children and animals, thus improving safety during operation, especially in low-light environments.

[0074] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the dishwasher 1000 further includes a control system 400. The control system 400 is connected to the projector 22, and the control system 400 is also connected to the inner cavity 12 of the dishwasher.

[0075] Control system 400 issues a first command and a second command to projector 22 .

[0076] The first command includes: a first washing command and a first drying command. The projector 22 projects a first projection animation upon receiving the first washing command, and projects a second projection animation upon receiving the first drying command.

[0077] The second command includes: a second washing command and a second drying command; the projector 22 stops projecting the first projection animation upon receiving the second washing command, and stops projecting the second projection animation upon receiving the second drying command.

[0078] For example, when the user clicks "Start", the dishwasher starts to work; the dishwasher cavity in the dishwasher first performs washing work, and the control system 400 sends a first washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first washing command and projects an animation of the dishwasher washing work, i.e., the first projection animation. After the dishwasher finishes washing, the control system 400 sends a second washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the second washing command and stops projecting the first projection animation.

[0079] Then the inner cavity of the dishwasher starts drying, and the control system 400 sends a first drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first drying command and projects an animation of the dishwasher drying, i.e., a second projection animation. After the dishwasher is dried, the control system 400 sends a second drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the second drying command and stops projecting the second projection animation. Through the projection system, the working process of the dishwasher can be displayed more intuitively.

[0080] like Fig. 9 As shown, Fig. 9 for Figure 8 Enlarged view at B. In some embodiments, when the dishwasher is in operation, the projector 22 also projects the operation data of the dishwasher onto the imaging plate; the operation data of the dishwasher includes: water temperature, power consumption, washing cycle and drying cycle.

[0081] That is to say, the dishwasher in the present application may only include a projection system, through which not only the first projection animation and the second projection animation can be projected, but also the operation data of the dishwasher can be projected.

[0082] For example, when the user clicks "Start", the dishwasher starts to work; the inner cavity of the dishwasher first performs washing work, and the control system 400 sends a first washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first washing command and projects an animation of the dishwasher washing work, i.e., the first projection animation. At the same time, the projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 50°C, power consumption 95%, and washing cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes washing, the control system 400 sends a second washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the second washing command and stops projecting the first projection animation. At this time, the operation data of the dishwasher will still show: water temperature 40°C, power consumption 90%, and washing is completed.

[0083] Then the inner cavity of the dishwasher in the dishwasher starts to dry, and the control system 400 sends a first drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first drying command and projects an animation of the dishwasher drying, i.e., the second projection animation. At the same time, the projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 80°C, power consumption 85%, and drying cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes drying, the control system 400 sends a second drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the second drying command and stops projecting the second projection animation. At this time, the operation data of the dishwasher will still show: temperature 40°C, power consumption 80%, and drying is completed.

[0084] like Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the dishwasher further includes: a display device 500 .

[0085] The display device 500 is connected to the control system 400, and is used to display the operating data of the dishwasher; wherein the operating data of the dishwasher includes water temperature, power consumption, washing cycle and drying cycle.

[0086] That is, the dishwasher in the present application may include a projection system and a display device. The first projection animation and the second projection animation may be projected through the projection system, and the operation data of the dishwasher may be displayed through the display device.

[0087] For example, when the user clicks "Start", the dishwasher starts to work; the inner cavity of the dishwasher first performs washing work, and the control system 400 sends a first washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first washing command and projects an animation of the dishwasher washing work, i.e., the first projection animation. At the same time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 50°C, power consumption 95%, and washing cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes washing, the control system 400 sends a second washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the second washing command and stops projecting the first projection animation. At this time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 40°C, power consumption 90%, and washing is completed.

[0088] Then the inner cavity of the dishwasher starts drying, and the control system 400 sends a first drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first drying command and projects an animation of the dishwasher drying, i.e., the second projection animation. At the same time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 80°C, power consumption 85%, and drying cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes drying, the control system 400 sends a second drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the second drying command and stops projecting the second projection animation. At this time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 40°C, power consumption 80%, and drying is completed.

[0089] In some embodiments, the dishwasher in the present application may include a projection system and a display device. The projection system may project the first projection animation and the second projection animation, and the operation data of the dishwasher may also be projected. The display device may display the operation data of the dishwasher.

[0090] For example, the user clicks on the start button, and the dishwasher starts to work; the inner cavity of the dishwasher first performs washing work, and the control system 400 sends a first washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first washing command and projects the animation of the dishwasher washing work, that is, the first projection animation. The projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 50°C, power consumption 95%, and washing cycle 5min. At the same time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 50°C, power consumption 95%, and washing cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes washing, the control system 400 sends a second washing command to the projector 22, and the projector 22 receives the second washing command and stops projecting the first projection animation. At this time, the operation data of the dishwasher will still show: water temperature 40°C, power consumption 90%, and washing is completed. At this time, the display device 500 will also display the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 40°C, power consumption 90%, and washing is completed.

[0091] Then the inner cavity of the dishwasher in the dishwasher starts to dry, and the control system 400 sends a first drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first drying command and projects the animation of the dishwasher drying, that is, the second projection animation. At the same time, the projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 80°C, power consumption 85%, and drying cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes drying, the control system 400 sends a second drying command to the projector 22, and the projector 22 receives the second drying command and stops projecting the second projection animation. At this time, the projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 40°C, power consumption 80%, and drying is completed. At this time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 40°C, power consumption 80%, and drying is completed.

[0092] like Fig.11 As shown, in some embodiments, the dishwasher further includes: a button device 600. The button device 600 is connected to the control system 400.

[0096] For example, the user clicks the first function button and then clicks the start button, and the dishwasher starts working; the inner cavity of the dishwasher first performs washing work, and the control system 400 sends a first washing command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first washing command and projects the animation of the dishwasher washing work, that is, the first projection animation. The projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 50°C, power consumption 95%, and washing cycle 5min. At the same time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 50°C, power consumption 95%, and washing cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes washing, the control system 400 sends a second washing command to the projector 22, and the projector 22 receives the second washing command and stops projecting the first projection animation. At this time, the operation data of the dishwasher will still show: water temperature 40°C, power consumption 90%, and washing is completed. At this time, the display device 500 will also display the operation data of the dishwasher: water temperature 40°C, power consumption 90%, and washing is completed.

[0097] The user can click the stop button and the dishwasher stops working. If he wants to continue the drying operation, he can click the second function button. If the user does not click the button, the dishwasher will automatically perform the drying operation.

[0098] Then the inner cavity of the dishwasher in the dishwasher starts to dry, and the control system 400 sends a first drying command to the projector 22. The projector 22 receives the first drying command and projects the animation of the dishwasher drying, that is, the second projection animation. At the same time, the projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 80°C, power consumption 85%, and drying cycle 5min. After the dishwasher completes drying, the control system 400 sends a second drying command to the projector 22, and the projector 22 receives the second drying command and stops projecting the second projection animation. At this time, the projector also projects the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 40°C, power consumption 80%, and drying is completed. At this time, the display device 500 also displays the operation data of the dishwasher: temperature 40°C, power consumption 80%, and drying is completed.
