Therefore, the above terms cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the present disclosure provides a dishwasher, including a door body and an inner tank 2, a bowl basket is arranged in the inner tank 2, and tableware is washed in the bowl basket, the door body includes an outer door panel 1 and an inner door panel 3, the outer door panel 1 is made of glass, the outer door panel 1 is arranged on the outside of the inner door panel 3, the inner door panel 3 is hinged to the inner tank 2, and water vapor entering the door body will condense into small water droplets on the outer door panel 1, and a diversion mechanism is arranged between the inner door panel 3 and the outer door panel 1, which is used to divert the condensed water between the inner door panel 3 and the outer door panel 1 to the inner tank 2, and then dry it through a drying mechanism or discharge it to a water cup, thereby avoiding the odor and bacterial growth caused by the accumulation of condensed water in the door body.

[0034] Furthermore, six assembly holes are provided on the inner door panel 3 , and six connecting columns are provided at corresponding positions on the outer door panel 1 . The assembly holes cooperate with the connecting columns to connect the inner door panel 3 and the outer door panel 1 .

[0035] Please see Figure 7 、 Figure 8 and Figure 11As shown, further, the outer door panel 1 is a roughly rectangular structure, and the diversion mechanism includes a first diversion structure. Two first mounting plates 5 are provided on the side of the outer door panel 1 close to the inner door panel 3. The first mounting plates 5 are arranged along the width direction of the outer door panel 1. The two first mounting plates 5 are provided close to the side edges of the outer door panel 1, and the first diversion structure is provided on the first mounting plates 5. The middle part of the door body has good sealing performance. Water vapor usually enters between the inner door panel 3 and the outer door panel 1 from the connection between the door body and the inner liner 2. In other words, water vapor generally enters from all sides of the door body. The side edges of the outer door panel 1 are the gathering place of water vapor. Therefore, the two first mounting plates 5 are provided on the side edges of the outer door panel 1 to guide the condensed water. The first mounting plate 5 is provided with mutually parallel first and second ridges 4 and 7. The first guide structure includes an inclined first guide bar 13 and a second guide bar 14. The first guide bar 13 is arranged above the second guide bar 14, with one end of the first guide bar 13 connected to the first ridge 4, and one end of the second guide bar 14 connected to the second ridge 7. The first guide structure also includes a vertically arranged third guide bar 15, one end of which is connected to the first guide bar 13 and the other end to the second guide bar 14. The vertical arrangement of the third guide bar 15 facilitates efficient diversion of condensed water.

[0036] Furthermore, a second mounting plate 6 is provided between the two first mounting plates 5, and the flow guide mechanism further includes a second flow guide structure, which is provided on the second mounting plate 6. Specifically, the second flow guide structure is a third ridge 10 provided on the second mounting plate 6, and the third ridge 10 is provided at an angle downward. It should be noted that the first guide bar 13 and the second guide bar 14 are both provided at an angle downward. Condensed water condensed on the outer door panel 1 will drip downward under the action of gravity and fall onto the first guide bar 13. The downward angle of the first guide bar 13 allows the condensed water to move downward more easily to the third guide bar 15. The vertical arrangement of the third guide bar 15 allows the condensed water to quickly enter the second guide bar 14, and then be directed to the second flow guide structure by the downward angled second guide bar 14. The third ridge 10 is arranged along the length of the outer door panel 1. The third ridge 10 is a long, plate-like structure, and the entire plate-like structure is provided at an angle. After the condensed water reaches the third ridge 10, it will quickly drip downward.

[0037] Please also refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10As shown, the bottom of the inner liner 2 is particularly provided with a sealing strip 16 and a smooth stepped surface structure 12. The sealing strip 16 is provided close to the stepped surface structure 12, and a second gap 17 is provided between the ends of the sealing strip 16 and the inner liner 2. After the condensed water reaches the third ridge 10, it will quickly drip onto the stepped surface structure 12. The stepped surface structure 12 has a height difference, and the stepped surface structure 12 is a relatively smooth structure. The condensed water then flows through the stepped surface structure 12 to the bottom of the inner liner 2, and finally enters the inner liner 2 through the second gap 17. After entering the inner liner 2, the condensed water can evaporate through the drying mechanism or enter the water cup assembly.

[0038] like Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment of the present disclosure, the two ends of the second mounting plate 6 are located between the outer door panel 1 and the first mounting plate 5, and a first gap 8 is provided between the third ridge 10 and the second ridge 7. This arrangement not only saves space but also enhances the diversion effect. Condensation water may also adhere to the outside of the second ridge 7. Since the second ridge 7 is arranged vertically, the condensation water will slide downward along the second ridge 7 under the action of gravity. The provision of the first gap 8 allows the condensation water on the outside of the second ridge 7 to drip directly downward through the first gap 8.

[0039] When the door is opened, it is no longer vertical but is nearly horizontal or horizontal. At this point, condensed water collected on the second mounting plate 6 is very likely to flow upward. Components such as controllers are often mounted above the door, and these components should be kept out of reach of water. To prevent condensed water from flowing back upward when the door is opened, the second mounting plate 6 is further provided with a fourth ridge 11 angled downward. This ridge is positioned above the third ridge 10 and acts as a barrier, effectively preventing condensed water from flowing upward from the second mounting plate 6. Preferably, a third gap 9 is provided between the ends of the fourth ridge 11 and the second ridge 7. The function of the third gap 9 is the same as that of the first gap 8.

[0040] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used herein to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The description of the above embodiments is intended only to facilitate understanding of the present application and its core concepts. It should be noted that, without departing from the principles of the present application, a number of improvements and modifications may be made to the present application by a person skilled in the art, and such improvements and modifications shall fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present application.
