[0027] This embodiment discloses a dishwasher dispenser, referring to Figures 1-6As shown, it includes an inner liner 1 and a dispenser body 4. The dispenser body 4 is installed on the outer side of the side wall of the inner liner 1. The dispenser body 4 can be installed between the inner liner 1 and the outer shell, which can reduce the space occupied by the dispenser body 4 in the inner liner 1.

[0028] The dispenser body 4 includes a liquid inlet 41 and a liquid outlet 42. The liquid inlet 41 is located above the liquid outlet 42. Detergent or rinse aid, among other reagents, can be added to the dispenser body 4 through the liquid inlet 41. The dispenser body 4 includes a temporary storage chamber and a passage connecting the liquid inlet 41 and the liquid outlet 42. A valve or pump mechanism within the dispenser opens and closes the liquid outlet 42, allowing the reagent to be delivered to the inner tank 1 of the dishwasher for use.

[0029] The dispenser body 4 further includes a cover 5, which is located in the inner container 1 and is adapted to the liquid inlet 41 to cover the liquid inlet 41. Generally, the cover 5 can be connected to the liquid inlet 41 using a threaded connection structure to facilitate operation of the cover 5.

[0030] The side wall of the inner tank 1 is provided with a first opening 2 and a second opening 3, which are respectively opposite to the liquid inlet 41 and the liquid outlet 42 of the dispenser. Specifically, the liquid inlet 41 is connected to the first opening 2, and the liquid outlet 42 is connected to the second opening 3, and sealing is achieved at the connection by a sealing member.

[0031] A first flange 410 is formed on the outside of the liquid inlet 41. This flange 410 has a convex annular structure and partially extends through the first opening 2 into the inner container 1. A first threaded member 6 is provided on the inside of the inner container 1 and is threadedly connected to the first flange 410. The first threaded member 6, the sidewall of the inner container 1, and the dispenser body 4 are threadedly locked together, securing the dispenser body 4 to the inner container 1.

[0032] A second edge 420 is formed outside the liquid outlet 42. This second edge 420 also has a convex annular structure. Partially, the second edge 420 extends through the first opening 2 and into the inner container 1. A second threaded member 8 is provided on the inner side of the inner container 1 and is threadedly connected to the second edge 420. The second threaded member 8, the sidewall of the inner container 1, and the dispenser body 4 are threadedly locked together, securing the dispenser body 4 to the inner container 1.

[0033] The first threaded member 6 and the second threaded member 8 can achieve two-point locking and fixing of the distributor body 4, thereby maintaining the installation stability of the distributor body 4. In addition, thread locking at the interface also facilitates achieving sealing stability at the connection.

[0034] Specifically, the first threaded member 6 is annular and is threadedly connected to the outer periphery of the first flange 410. A first sealing member 7 is provided between the first opening 2 and the first flange 410. The first sealing member 7 is annular and sleeved around the outer periphery of the first flange 410. The first sealing member 7 presses against the inner wall of the liner 1 to achieve a seal. Tightening the first threaded member 6 applies pressure to the first sealing member 7, which not only seals the connection but also prevents loosening.

[0035] A first recessed groove 21 is formed on the inner wall of the inner container 1 and is located at the periphery of the first opening 2. The first threaded member 6 is at least partially embedded in the first recessed groove 21. The first recessed groove 21 can accommodate and limit the first sealing member 7 and the first threaded member 6, thereby preventing them from protruding excessively from the inner container 1.

[0036] Reference Figure 4 As shown, a limiting protrusion 22 is formed on the outside of the inner container 1 and is located on the outer periphery of the first opening 2. A first annular groove 411 is formed on the dispenser body 4 and is located on the outer periphery of the first edge portion 410. The first annular groove 411 and the limiting protrusion 22 are adapted to each other. When the dispenser body 4 is installed, the limiting protrusion 22 is embedded in the first annular groove 411 to achieve positioning, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the dispenser.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 As shown, the second threaded member 8 includes a second threaded portion 81, which is generally screw-shaped and is threadedly connected to the inner circumference of the second flange portion 420. The second threaded member 8 defines a liquid outlet channel 82, one end of which is connected to the liquid outlet 42 and the other end is open to the inner cavity of the inner liner 1. The liquid outlet channel 82 can connect the liquid outlet 42 and the inner cavity of the inner liner 1.

[0038] The second opening 3 and the second edge portion 420 are sealed by a second sealing member 9. The second sealing member 9 includes two sealing rings 91, both of which are sleeved outside the second edge portion 420. The two sealing rings 91 are respectively located on the inner and outer sides of the inner liner 1, forming a two-layer sealing structure from the inner and outer sides of the inner liner 1.

[0039] A second annular groove portion 421 is provided on the outer periphery of the dispenser body 4 corresponding to the second edge portion 420. The first sealing ring 91 is embedded in the second annular groove portion 421, and the sealing ring 91 can be limited by the second annular groove portion 421. A second recessed groove 31 is formed on the inner wall of the liner 1. The second recessed groove 31 is located on the outer periphery of the second opening 3, and the second sealing ring 91 is embedded in the second recessed groove 31. During the threaded tightening process of the second sealing member 9, the second sealing member 9 and the dispenser body 4 can exert relative forces toward the middle. The second sealing member 9, the sealing ring 91, the side wall of the liner 1, the sealing ring 91, and the dispenser body 4 can successively counteract each other, exerting an extrusion effect on the two sealing rings 91 in the middle, thereby achieving sealing at the connection between the second opening 3 and the second edge portion 420.

[0040] This embodiment further discloses a dishwasher, comprising the dishwasher dispenser as in the above embodiment. The dispenser in this embodiment can only dispense one reagent into the dishwasher, and is suitable for table-top dishwashers.
