[0040] Example 1

[0041] The horizontal status display device provided in this application can be used in household appliances with similar structures, such as dishwashers. During installation, the horizontal status display device can show the horizontal status of the appliance to guide installers in adjusting the height of the appliance's feet, thereby ensuring the appliance is level and can operate reliably.

[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the dishwasher includes a cabinet 101 and a cabinet door 102. The cabinet door 102 is hinged to the cabinet 101, allowing the user to open the cabinet door 102 from the front of the cabinet 101 to place the dishes to be washed into the interior of the cabinet 101 for washing. When the user opens the cabinet door 102, the cabinet door 102 can tilt and fall under the action of gravity. When the cabinet door 102 falls to its maximum tilting angle, the cabinet door 102 is in a horizontal position.

[0043] See Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the horizontal status display device provided in this application includes a first level 103 and a second level 104.

[0044] The first level 103 is horizontally mounted on the cabinet 101 along a first direction to display the dishwasher's levelness in the left-right direction; the first direction ( Figure 1 The direction C shown in the diagram represents the left-right direction of the dishwasher. During installation, the cabinet 101 serves as the main structure of the dishwasher and remains stationary after being embedded in the cabinet. If the dishwasher is uneven in the left-right direction, the first level 103 installed on the cabinet 101 can display the degree of tilt of the dishwasher relative to the horizontal position, allowing the installer to adjust the height of the feet in the left-right direction to level the dishwasher.

[0045] In addition, a second level 104 is installed on the cabinet door 102 of the appliance. Specifically, the second level 104 is horizontally installed on the cabinet door 102 when it is flipped to a horizontal position along a second direction to display the levelness of the dishwasher in the front-to-back direction; the second direction ( Figure 1 The direction D shown in the diagram represents the front-to-back direction of the dishwasher. When installing the dishwasher, the installer can open the cabinet door 102 to its maximum tilt angle. If the dishwasher is not level in the front-to-back direction, the second level 104 can display the degree of tilt of the dishwasher relative to the horizontal position, thereby allowing the installer to adjust the height of the feet in the front-to-back direction to make the dishwasher level in the front-to-back direction.

[0046] The horizontal status display device provided in this application, by setting a first level 103 and a second level 104, displays the horizontal level of the dishwasher in the left-right and front-back directions respectively, thereby guiding the installer to adjust the height of the feet in the corresponding directions to adjust the dishwasher to a horizontal state, thus ensuring that the dishwasher can operate reliably.

[0047] In this embodiment, the first level 103 is horizontally positioned on the operating side (i.e., the side facing the user) of the cabinet 101. When the dishwasher is embedded in the cabinet, the first level 103 located on the operating side is easier for the installer to observe, so that the installer can observe the status of the first level 103 while adjusting the height of the feet in real time.

[0048] Specifically, such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first level 103 includes a first mounting base 106 and a first bubble level 107. The first mounting base 106 is installed in the upper groove 108 of the door frame of the cabinet 101. Optionally, the upper groove 108 of the door frame is provided with a positioning slot 105, and the first mounting base 106 is provided with a positioning buckle 109, which engages with the positioning slot 105. The first bubble level 107 is installed on the first mounting base 106, thereby fixing the first bubble level 107 to the operating side of the cabinet 101. The first level 103 can be hidden in the upper groove 108 of the door frame without affecting the appearance of the equipment. A first viewing window 110 is provided on the groove wall of the upper groove 108 on the operating side. The first viewing window 110 is opposite to the first bubble level 107, so that the installer can observe the first bubble level 107 through the first viewing window 110.

[0049] Optionally, the groove wall of the upper groove 108 on the operating side of the door frame is provided with a through hole, and a transparent plate, such as a glass plate or an acrylic plate, is installed at the through hole so that there are no large holes or gaps on the outer surface of the groove wall of the upper groove 108 on the operating side of the door frame, so as to prevent oil fumes or liquids from entering the upper groove 108 of the door frame and causing damage to related components.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the first mounting base 106 has a first mounting groove 111, and the first bubble level 107 is installed in the first mounting groove 111; the first mounting groove 111 has a first opening 112, and the first opening 112 is opposite to the position of the first viewing window 110.

[0051] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, the thickness direction of the first mounting base 106 is the same as the groove depth direction of the upper groove 108 of the door frame; the groove opening of the first mounting groove 111 is located on one side of the thickness direction of the first mounting base 106, and the groove opening of the first mounting groove 111 is provided with a limiting buckle 113, which has slight elasticity, so that the first bubble level 107 can be inserted into the first mounting groove 111 from the groove opening and is locked in the first mounting groove 111; the groove wall of the first mounting groove 111 is provided with a first opening 112.

[0052] In this embodiment, Figure 3The first mounting groove 111 shown in the diagram has its opening facing upwards so that the first bubble level 107 can be inserted into the first mounting groove 111 through the opening. The first opening 112, which displays the first bubble level 107, is located in the direction of the groove wall of the first mounting groove 111. That is, the first mounting groove 111 has two openings to realize the installation function and the display function of the first bubble level 107, respectively. The reason for the above structure is that the groove depth of the upper groove 108 of the door frame is small, resulting in a small thickness of the first mounting base 106 installed in the upper groove 108 of the door frame. If the opening of the first mounting groove 111 is oriented towards the first viewing window, the limiting buckle 113 at the opening will increase the thickness of the first mounting base 106, causing the upper groove 108 of the door frame to be unable to accommodate the first mounting base 106.

[0053] Of course, if the groove 108 on the upper side of the door frame is too deep, the opening of the first mounting groove 111 can be used as the first opening 112 of the first bubble level 107 to make the structure of the first mounting base 106 simpler and to better fix the first bubble level 107.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, a first elastic retainer 114 is provided on the side wall of the first mounting groove 111, and at least one end of the first bubble level 107 in the length direction is provided with the first elastic retainer 114 to prevent the first bubble level 107 from shifting. Figure 4 As shown, the first elastic clip 114 is a spring-shaped structure integrally formed with the first mounting base 106. Both ends of the first bubble level 107 in the length direction are provided with the first elastic clip 114, which can further improve the fixing effect of the first bubble level 107.

[0055] Example 2

[0056] The horizontal status display device in this embodiment is an improvement on the above embodiments. The technical content disclosed in the above embodiments will not be described again, and the content disclosed in the above embodiments also belongs to the content disclosed in this embodiment.

[0057] See Figures 5 to 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the second level 104 includes a second mounting base 115 and a second bubble level 116. The second mounting base 115 is installed inside the door shell 117 on the side of the cabinet door 102, and the second bubble level 116 is installed on the second mounting base 115, thereby fixing the second bubble level 116 to the side of the cabinet door 102. Furthermore, the second level 104 can be concealed within the door shell 117, without affecting the appearance of the equipment. The door shell 117 is provided with a second viewing window 118, which is positioned opposite to the second bubble level 116, allowing installers to observe the second bubble level 116 through the second viewing window 118.

[0058] In an optional embodiment, the second mounting base 115 has a second mounting groove 119, and the second bubble level 116 is installed in the second mounting groove 119; the second mounting groove 119 has a second opening, which is opposite to the position of the second viewing window 118.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 5 As shown, the second opening is the groove of the second mounting groove 119. The groove of the second mounting groove 119 is located on one side of the thickness direction of the second mounting base 115, and the groove edge of the second mounting groove 119 is connected to the door shell 117. Optionally, the groove edge of the second mounting groove 119 and the door shell 117 are respectively provided with connecting holes 120, and the door shell 117 is connected to the second mounting base 115 by countersunk screws 121 to install and fix the second mounting base 115, and the surface of the door shell 117 is flat, which does not affect the opening and closing of the cabinet door 102.

[0060] In this embodiment, since the door housing 117 is relatively wide, when installing the second mounting base 115, the width direction of the second mounting base 115 can be set to be the same as the width direction of the door housing 117. At this time, the slot size of the second mounting groove 119 is not limited by the width of the door housing 117, and the slot of the second mounting groove 119 can be used as the second opening of the display second bubble level 116.

[0061] Of course, if the width of the door shell 117 is narrow, it can be similar to the structure of the first mounting base 106, and the slot and the second opening of the second mounting groove 119 can be set as two independent structures.

[0062] In addition, a positioning part 122 is provided at the second viewing window 118. The positioning part 122 is recessed into the second mounting groove 119 so that the second bubble level 116 does not protrude from the surface of the door shell 117. Specifically, as follows... Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning part 122 includes two recessed positioning baffles 123. The two positioning baffles 123 are arranged opposite to each other in the width direction of the second bubble level 116. The positioning baffles 123 are recessed structures formed by pressing the door shell 117 inward, which can prevent the arc-shaped surface of the second bubble level 116 from protruding from the surface of the door shell 117 and affecting the opening and closing of the cabinet door 102.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, a second elastic retainer 124 is provided on the side wall of the second mounting groove 119, and at least one end of the second bubble level 116 in the length direction is provided with the second elastic retainer 124 to prevent the second bubble level 116 from shifting. Figure 5As shown, the second elastic clip 124 is a silicone gasket, and the silicone gasket and the second mounting base 115 are molded by two-color injection molding. The second elastic clip 124 is provided at both ends of the second bubble level 116 in the length direction, which can further improve the fixing effect of the second bubble level 116.
