The door body 3 is also provided with an adjustment mechanism 4 which can adjust the slope of the guide surface between 0 and 10 degrees.

[0027] An assembly strip 33 is provided at the first edge 01 of the door body 3, which can be extended or compressed as the inclination of the guide surface 30 is adjusted. When the inclination of the guide surface 30 is 0 degrees, the assembly strip 33 extends vertically and forms a side wall at the first edge 01 of the door body 3. When the inclination of the guide surface 30 is greater than 2 degrees, the assembly strip 33 is compressed and folded toward the first water trough 1 and forms a guide strip 330 extending from the first edge 01 of the door body to the first water trough 1. By adopting the above structure, when the upper surface of the door body 3 is not used as a functional area or is used as a chopping board, the assembly strip 33 extends vertically and is sealed at the first edge 01 of the door body 3, so as to prevent water splashed by the first water tank 1 when washing items from intruding into the door body 3; when the upper surface of the door body 3 is used as a drain plate, the assembly strip 33 is compressed and forms a guide strip 330 extending from the first edge 01 of the door body 3 to the first water tank 1. If the guide strip 330 is not provided, most of the water stains flowing down from the drain plate will enter the first water tank 1, but inevitably some water will intrude into the dishwasher through the assembly gap between the bottom of the door body 3 and the second water tank 2, affecting the cleanliness of the tableware in the dishwasher. The above structure of the utility model can maintain the sealing of the side wall of the door body, and the guide strip 330 can completely and thoroughly guide the accumulated water at the first edge 01 of the door body into the first water tank 1 without the problem of edge seepage, thereby keeping the tableware or washing environment in the second water tank 2 clean.

[0028] In this embodiment, the door body 3 includes an upper plate 31, a lower plate 32 and an assembly strip 33.

The upper plate 31 is a flat plate that can be flipped and placed on the lower plate 32. The upper plate 31 forms a guide surface 30 with different slopes as its flip angle changes. The upper surface of the upper plate 31 constitutes the guide surface 30. The assembly strip is located at the first edge 01 of the door body and is clamped between the upper plate and the lower plate. The above structure is adopted to adjust the slope of the guide surface 30 as the upper plate 31 flips, and maintain the compactness and sealing of the assembly.

[0029] The upper plate 31 is rotatably constrained on the lower plate 32 at the second edge 02 of the door body 3, and the assembly strip 33 is extended or compressed as the upper plate 31 rotates relative to the lower plate 32. This structure conveniently provides rotation support for the flipping of the upper plate 31 to improve the adjustment stability of the inclination of the guide surface 30.

[0030] The assembly strip 33 of this embodiment comprises a first portion 331 extending vertically, a second portion 332 bent from the upper edge of the first portion 331 toward the lower surface of the upper plate, and a third portion 333 bent from the lower edge of the first portion 331 toward the upper surface of the lower plate 32. The second portion 332 is in contact and sealed with the lower surface of the upper plate 31, and the third portion 333 is in contact and sealed with the upper surface of the lower plate 32.
