[0033] Specifically, the left and right sides of the rotating shaft 101 are respectively provided with baffles 102, and the door hook 2 and the metal strip 5 are swingingly arranged between the left and right baffles 102. Effect: The two baffles 102 can provide space for the swing of the door hook 2 and the metal strip 5, and also provide limiting action.

[0034] Specifically, the lower rear end of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a movable opening 103, and the rear ends of the two connecting portions 202 are bent rearward and downward and pass through the movable opening 103, so that the two hook portions 203 are located at the lower rear of the mounting frame 1; the two hook portions 203 are bent towards each other, the bottom of the mounting frame 1 is provided with a fixed block 104, the middle part of the fixed block 104 is provided with a Y-shaped sliding groove 105 with a notch facing rearward, and the two hook portions 203 are located at the rear of the Y-shaped sliding groove 105. Effect: The Y-shaped sliding groove 105 can cooperate with the two hook portions 203 to lock and cooperate with the latch head 9. In order to better buckle with the two door hooks 2, see Figures 1-3 : The latch head 9 includes a four-angled latch head body 901, the front and rear ends of the latch head body 901 are respectively provided with a front connecting plate 902 and a rear connecting plate 903, the rear end of the rear connecting plate 903 is provided with a mounting plate 904, and the left and right lower sides of the rear connecting plate 903 are respectively provided with a bottom plate 905 (of course, other latch head structures with the same function are also possible). In this way, the working principle is as follows: when the latch head 9 advances forward, the front connecting plate 902 can be pushed forward into the Y-shaped sliding groove 105, and the two door hooks 2 are first opened and then closed, so that the two hook portions 203 and the latch head body 901 are buckled together; and the mounting plate 904 can drive the latch head body 901 and the front connecting plate 902 to move forward and backward through the rear connecting plate 903 and the bottom plate 905.

[0035] Specifically, the bottom of the mounting frame 1 is further provided with a sliding groove 107 extending along the front and back, the sliding groove 107 is located above the front of the fixed block 104, and the two ends 201 are located at the left rear and right rear of the sliding groove 107 respectively; the inside of the sliding groove 107 is provided with a door sensing sliding block 6, the front end of the door sensing sliding block 6 is connected with a door sensing sliding block spring 7, the rear end of the door sensing sliding block 6 is bent downward and extends into the Y-shaped sliding groove 105; the left front wall or the right front wall of the sliding groove 107 is provided with a circuit board 8, the door sensing sliding block 6 cooperates with the circuit board 8, and the circuit board 8 is electrically connected with the electromagnet 4. Action: when the latch head 9 is pushed forward, the front connecting plate 902 can abut against the door sensing sliding block 6 when being pushed forward into the Y-shaped sliding groove 105, then the door sensing sliding block 6 compresses the door sensing sliding block spring 7 forward, and at the same time, the door sensing sliding block 6 cooperates with the circuit board 8 when moving forward, so that the circuit board 8 receives the signal that the dishwasher door is closed; when the latch head 9 is withdrawn backward, the front connecting plate 902 can be withdrawn backward from the Y-shaped sliding groove 105, so that the door sensing sliding block 6 moves backward and resets under the elastic action of the door sensing sliding block spring 7, and at the same time, the door sensing sliding block 6 cooperates with the circuit board 8 when moving backward, so that the circuit board 8 receives the signal that the dishwasher door is opened. The circuit board 8 can be electrically connected with one or more electromagnets 4, so that after the circuit board 8 is electrically connected with the child lock, the child lock can control the power-on and power-off of one or more electromagnets 4 through the circuit board 8.

Action: because the Y-shaped sliding groove 105 is small, and the recess 106 can provide sufficient space for the cooperation of the rear end of the door sensing sliding block 6 and the latch head; since the fixed block 104 is made on the bottom shell 10, the cost and installation are saved, and it is convenient for non-professionals to operate.

[0037] Specifically, the opposite sides of the two connecting parts 202 are respectively provided with elastic members 3, and the opposite sides of the two connecting parts 202 are respectively provided with positioning blocks 205, and the two positioning blocks 205 can be positioned and abutted together. Action: the two elastic mechanisms (elastic members 3) make the household appliance door more stable when being buckled, and are not easy to deviate, thus providing stronger door buckling stability and increasing the durability of the household appliance; this is because the two elastic members 3 (such as compression springs) have a more stable function of keeping the door central, and the existing patent CN103584814B will deviate because one tension spring contracts, and two freely moving door hooks will cause deviation. The two positioning blocks 205 can be arranged to cooperate to position when the two connecting parts 202 are close to each other. In actual use: the elastic member 3 can be horizontally placed along the left and right directions, or can be inclinedly placed along the front and back directions, which can be selected according to actual needs.

[0038] Specifically, the elastic member 3 is a compression spring, the left and right side walls of the mounting frame 1 are respectively provided with first abutting grooves 108, the opposite sides of the two connecting portions 202 are respectively provided with second abutting grooves 206, and the two ends of the compression spring are respectively arranged in the first abutting grooves 108 and the second abutting grooves 206. Action: The support surface of the compression spring is large, and installation problems are not easy to occur, and the elastic force of the two compression springs increases the locking ability. The two compression spring structures of the embodiment can be adjusted in angle to realize different door opening and closing forces required by different customers. Of course, the elastic member 3 can also be a torsion spring scheme, which can be selected as needed.

[0039] In actual work, the two elastic members 3 correspond to the two door hooks 2, so that only a part of the parts (such as the elastic member 5) needs to be simply deformed, so that the different door opening and closing force requirements of the customer end can be realized (because the greater the elastic force provided by the elastic member, the greater the door opening and closing force required by the customer end), the door locking force can be freely adjusted, and the operation is convenient, the structure is simple, and has certain universality. The door lock of the prior art (existing patent CN103584814B) is a single elastic mechanism, which is unstable and has poor durability.

[0040] A household appliance includes a household appliance body, and further includes the door lock of the above technical solution; the household appliance body is provided with a household appliance door that can be opened and closed, and the household appliance door is locked and matched by the door lock and the latch head 9; the control panel of the household appliance body is provided with a child lock 12, the circuit board 8 is provided with a door closing signal micro switch 13, the door sensing slider 6 is matched with the door closing signal micro switch 13; the first end 801 and the third end 803 of the circuit board 8, the child lock 12, and the door closing signal micro switch 13 are electrically connected to form a door sensing loop, and the first end 801 or the third end 803 of the circuit board 8 is electrically connected with the second end 802 of the circuit board 8, the child lock 12, and the electromagnet 4 to form an electromagnet locking loop; when the child lock 12 is in an unlocked state, the household appliance door can be opened. Action: The forward and backward movement of the door sensing slider 6 can trigger the door closing signal micro switch 13, so as to determine whether the household appliance door is closed; and the “electromagnet locking loop” is connected to the “door sensing loop” as “the electromagnet locking can be triggered only after the door is closed”, so as to prevent the child player from using the appliance button and triggering the locking by mistake.

[0041] In actual work, when the household appliance is a dishwasher, after the dishwasher door is closed, a signal that the dishwasher door has been closed is given, and the child lock gives an optional locking and unlocking option. The dishwasher door is locked, and after the dishwasher completes the work, the child lock is unlocked to make the dishwasher door open. Since the locking function of the door lock (such as the electromagnet 4 of the door lock and the circuit board 8) can be connected to the child lock, the child can be prevented from opening the door during the washing process. As for the child lock, the child lock function can be realized by connecting the electromagnet to the relay, circuit breaker, control program, etc. of the dishwasher (household appliance), and the child lock needs to be pressed to unlock the conventional technology, which will not be repeated here.

[0042] As a preferred embodiment, the dishwasher body is provided with a door opening, one side edge of the door opening is rotatably connected to one side edge of the dishwasher door, and the other side edge of the door opening is provided with a door lock. The other side edge of the dishwasher door is provided with a latch head 9 (also called a door buckle), so that the door lock and the latch head 9 cooperate to realize the opening and closing of the dishwasher door.

[0043] Of course, the door lock of the present application can be applied to other household appliances with the same needs in addition to the dishwasher. It should be noted that in addition to the door lock of the present application, the remaining components (such as the latch head 9, the child lock, etc.) can be provided by the manufacturer of the household appliance, which will not be repeated here.

[0044] As described above, the existing patent CN103584814B is a scheme for one tension spring, but the scheme of the present application has two compression springs, so it has good stability, and has a metal part and an electromagnet locking cooperation, which can be connected to the child lock, and provides a real locking function, and when the child lock is eliminated, the door can be opened.

[0045] The above is the preferred embodiment of the present application, and it should be noted that for ordinary skilled persons in the technical field, without departing from the principle of the present application, a number of improvements and refinements can be made, which are also considered within the protection scope of the present application.
