[0029] In one embodiment of the present application, a dishwasher is provided, comprising a door body 100 as described in any of the following embodiments, and also comprising an inner tank with a cleaning cavity, wherein the door body 100 covers the inner tank so that the cleaning cavity is sealed when the dishwasher is in a cleaning state.

[0030] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a door body 100 in an embodiment of the present application. An embodiment of the present application provides a door body 100, and the door body 100 includes a main body 110 and a flip screen 120. Figure 1 As shown, the main body 110 includes a top surface 111 and a front surface 112 facing in different directions. Among them, the front surface 112 of the door body 100 is attached with a glass panel, which has excellent heat resistance, can withstand the impact of high temperature, will not deform or discolor, and is antibacterial, scratch-resistant, and easy to clean.

[0031] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, Figure 2 FIG. 1 shows a schematic diagram of the structure of a flip screen 120 in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 3 The cross-sectional structure diagram of the door body 100 in an embodiment of the present application is shown. The flip screen 120 is rotatably connected to the main body 110, and the flip screen 120 is configured to be able to rotate between a first position and a second position around a rotation axis, and the flip screen 120 includes a display surface 121 provided with a display screen, and the display screen is used to display the cleaning status of the dishwasher, the remaining time of the process, etc. It can be understood that in some embodiments, the display surface 121 is also provided with an adjustment button, and the adjustment button is used for the user to operate and select the cleaning program of the dishwasher.

[0032] When the flip screen 120 is in the first position (eg Figure 1 When the flip screen 120 is in the second position, the display surface 121 faces the same direction as the top surface 111. When the flip screen 120 is in the second position, the display surface 121 faces the same direction as the front surface 112. The rotation angle of the flip screen 120 is consistent with the angle between the top surface 111 and the front surface 112. In this embodiment, since the top surface 111 and the front surface 112 are arranged vertically, the rotation angle of the flip screen 120 when it rotates from the first position to the second position is 90 degrees.

[0033] In one embodiment, the flip screen 120 further includes a panel surface 122, and the panel surface 122 and the front surface 112 are both attached with panels of the same material. In this embodiment, the panel surface 122 and the front surface 112 are both attached with glass panels. When the flip screen 120 is in the first position, the panel surface 122 and the front surface 112 face the same direction. At this time, although the panel surface 122 and the front surface 112 are two surfaces, the surface materials of the two are the same, which can improve the visual perception of the front surface 112.

[0034] In one of the embodiments, when the flip screen 120 is in the first position, the display surface 121 is flush with the top surface 111, and when the flip screen 120 is in the second position, the display surface 121 is flush with the front surface 112, so that the display surface 121 is flush with the door body 100 regardless of whether the flip screen 120 is in the first position or the second position, thereby preventing the display surface 121 from protruding from the door body 100 and being easily scratched, and improving the aesthetics of the flip screen 120.

[0035] In one embodiment, the distance from the rotation axis to the top surface 111 is L, and the distance from the rotation axis to the front end surface 112 is l. Figure 2 As shown, the distance from the rotation axis to the display surface 121 is A, and the distance from the rotation axis to the panel surface 122 is a, where L=l=A=a. Therefore, the surface of the flip screen 120 is flush with the surface of the door body 100 whether the flip screen 120 is located at the first position or the second position.

[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the connection between the top surface 111 and the front surface 112 of the door body 100 is recessed to form a space for placing the flip screen 120, and in the present embodiment, the cross-section of the flip screen 120 on the surface perpendicular to the top surface 111 and the front surface 112 is a square structure, and its rotation axis is located at the center of the square. At this time, the rotation of the flip screen 120 is less interfered by the door body 100, and the surface of the flip screen 120 can be flush with the surface of the door body 100 when it is in the first position and the second position, thereby improving the aesthetics of the door body 100.

[0037] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the first rotating shaft 130 and the second rotating shaft 140 are respectively connected to the two ends of the flip screen 120, the first rotating shaft 130 and the second rotating shaft 140 are coaxially arranged, and the first rotating shaft 130 and the second rotating shaft 140 are rotatably connected to the main body 110 or the flip screen 120, and the axis of the first rotating shaft 130 and the second rotating shaft 140 is a rotation axis, which is used to support the flip screen 120 and is used to form a rotation axis when the flip screen 120 rotates to limit the flip screen 120. In this embodiment, the first rotating shaft 130 and the second rotating shaft 140 are both rotatably connected to the main body 110 and are both connected to the flip screen 120 to rotate synchronously. In other embodiments, one of the first rotating shaft 130 and the second rotating shaft 140 can also be fixedly connected to the housing and rotatably connected to the flip screen 120.

[0038] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the door body 100 further includes a driving member 150 for providing power for the rotation of the flip screen 120. The driving member 150 is fixedly connected to the main body 110, the first rotating shaft 130 is fixedly connected to the flip screen 120 and is configured to be able to rotate relative to the main body 110, and the output shaft of the driving member 150 is connected to the first rotating shaft 130 to drive the flip screen 120 to rotate. In some embodiments, the first rotating shaft 130 is a copper insert fixedly disposed on the flip screen 120.

[0039] In some embodiments, the driving member 150 is controlled by the working state of the dishwasher. When the door 100 of the dishwasher is closed and the dishwasher starts the cleaning process, the driving member 150 automatically drives the flip screen 120 to rotate to the second position. And when the cleaning process of the dishwasher is completed and the door 100 of the dishwasher is opened, the driving member 150 automatically drives the flip screen 120 to flip to the first position. Preferably, when the user opens the door 100 during the cleaning process, the driving member 150 automatically drives the flip screen 120 to flip to the first position, so that the user can change the setting conveniently.

[0040] In some embodiments, the driving member 150 is controlled by a control button disposed on the display surface 121 , so that the user can control the rotation of the flip screen 120 through the control button on the display surface 121 .

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the door body 100 further includes a coupling 160 , and the coupling 160 is connected between the driving member 150 and the first rotating shaft 130 .

[0042] Combination Figure 4 As shown, Figure 4 The schematic diagram of the disassembly structure of the second rotating shaft 140 in one embodiment of the present application is shown. In one embodiment, one end of the second rotating shaft 140 is rotatably connected to the main body 110, and the other end is connected to the flip screen 120 and rotates synchronously with the flip screen 120.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the main body 110 includes a limiting portion 113, the limiting portion 113 is provided with a limiting hole 1131 adapted to the end of the second rotating shaft 140 away from the flip screen 120, the limiting hole 1131 passes through the limiting portion 113, the second rotating shaft 140 includes a connecting portion 141 penetrating the limiting hole 1131 and an end portion 142 with a diameter larger than the limiting hole 1131, and a detachable protrusion 170 is provided on the circumferential surface of the connecting portion 141. In this embodiment, the protrusion 170 is a retaining spring, and the circumferential surface of the connecting portion 141 is provided with a groove matched with the protrusion 170. The protrusion 170 is partially embedded in the groove and partially protrudes from the circumferential surface of the connecting portion 141, so that the limiting portion 113 is clamped between the protrusion 170 and the end portion 142, so as to limit the axial direction of the second rotating shaft 140 through the end portion 142 and the protrusion 170, so as to prevent the second rotating shaft 140 from being separated from the limiting portion 113.

[0044] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the end surface of the flip screen 120 facing the second rotating shaft 140 is provided with a fixing hole 123, and the fixing hole 123 is a polygonal structure. The second rotating shaft 140 is at least partially inserted into the fixing hole 123 and abuts against the side wall of the fixing hole 123 in the circumferential direction of the second rotating shaft 140, so as to rotate synchronously with the flip screen 120. Figure 4 As shown, one end of the second rotating shaft 140 that cooperates with the fixing hole 123 is configured as a polygonal structure adapted to the fixing hole 123 , so as to achieve abutment with the fixing hole 123 in the circumferential direction of the second rotating shaft 140 .

[0045] In the door body 100 provided in the above solution, when the user operates and sets the dishwasher, the flip screen 120 is located in the first position, and the display surface 121 is located on the top surface 111, so that the user can operate without bending over.
