Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most dishwashers on the market generally consist of a cabinet and a spray system located within the cabinet. The spray system draws water from the bottom of the cabinet into a spray nozzle and sprays it into the washing chamber to rinse the dishes. The washing chamber volume of most dishwashers is fixed and cannot be adjusted according to the amount of dishes to be washed. When the number of dishes to be washed is small, placing them in a large washing chamber not only affects the washing effect but also wastes water.

[0003] In addition, for some large-capacity dishwashers, users are used to storing the dishes inside the dishwasher after washing. In this case, if the number of dishes used per meal is small, the stored dishes need to be washed together with the dishes the next time, which will also waste water and electricity.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, Chinese utility model patent CN202023348649.2 (publication number CN215383808U) discloses a dishwasher, comprising: a cabinet having an inner cavity; a partition assembly disposed within the inner cavity of the cabinet for dividing the inner cavity into relatively independent upper and lower spaces; the partition assembly includes: a fixed plate, horizontally positioned in the middle of the cabinet and connected to the inner side wall of the cabinet; a movable plate movably disposed on the fixed plate for cooperating with the fixed plate to separate or connect the upper and lower spaces; further comprising: a surrounding plate disposed on the lower wall of the fixed plate, forming a relatively independent mounting compartment between the surrounding plate and the inner wall of the cabinet; and a drive component disposed in the mounting compartment, with a power output shaft passing through the surrounding plate and connected to the movable plate.

[0005] When the number of dishes to be washed is small, the movable plate of the partition assembly moves relative to the fixed plate to separate the upper and lower spaces, which is the half-cavity washing state. The upper space can be used to place the washed dishes, and the lower space can be sprayed for washing separately. This not only makes full use of the cabinet space, but also helps to save water and electricity. When the number of dishes to be washed is large, the movable plate of the partition assembly moves relative to the fixed plate to connect the upper and lower spaces, which is the full-cavity washing state. The dishes in the upper and lower spaces are washed at the same time.

[0006] The structure of the partition assembly in the aforementioned patent has a fixed plate that is always horizontally placed in the cabinet. During full-cavity washing, the fixed plate will block the water flow, affecting the rinsing effect. Furthermore, the fixed plate and the movable plate are thick, which affects the placement of tableware. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a dishwasher with a small partition space occupied in the full-cavity washing state, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0008] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a dishwasher, comprising...

[0009] The box-shaped structure has an open front.

[0010] The partition assembly is located inside the enclosure;

[0011] The partition assembly is characterized in that it includes...

[0012] A scroll is located on the rear side wall of the housing, the scroll extends in the left-right direction and can rotate about its axis;

[0013] A flexible partition is wound on a spool. The flexible partition can move back and forth to a first position and a second position from its extended end on the spool. When the extended end of the flexible partition moves forward to the first position, the flexible partition divides the interior of the box into an independent upper space and a lower space. When the extended end of the flexible partition moves backward to the second position, the flexible partition is wound on the spool, and the upper space and the lower space are connected.

[0014] Drive mechanism, including

[0015] A pivot extends in the left-right direction and is disposed adjacent to the reel, the pivot being rotatable about its axis;

[0016] The driving component is connected to the rotating shaft drive;

[0017] A fixing strip is provided at the front end of the flexible partition. The fixing strip is connected to the rotating shaft through a transmission mechanism, thereby enabling the fixing strip to move back and forth.

[0018] An elastic element acts on the spool, causing the spool to maintain a tendency to rotate in the direction on which the flexible partition is wound.

[0019] The transmission mechanism can have various structural forms. For example, a push rod motor can be set between the two. Alternatively, the transmission mechanism can include a nut, a lead screw, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. The nut is provided on the fixing bar, the first bevel gear is provided on the rotating shaft, and a lead screw extending in the front-back direction is provided between the rotating shaft and the fixing bar. The rear end of the lead screw is provided with a second bevel gear that meshes with the first bevel gear. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the nut.

[0020] To reduce the impact of the transmission mechanism on the placement of tableware, the transmission mechanism is located at the edge of the flexible partition.

[0021] Preferably, the transmission mechanism is provided at the edges of both the left and right sides of the flexible partition, so that the flexible partition is subjected to uniform force on both sides and moves smoothly.

[0022] Preferably, the rotating shaft is located on the front side of the reel and below the flexible partition, so that the rotating shaft will not interfere with the movement of the flexible partition.

[0023] Preferably, the drive component is located outside the housing, and the output shaft of the drive component passes through the side wall of the housing and is connected to the rotating shaft for drive. In this way, the drive component not only does not occupy the space inside the housing, but also does not require waterproofing.

[0024] In order to guide the movement trajectory of the flexible partition, the left and right sides of the box are provided with slide rails extending in the front-back direction, and the left and right edges of the flexible partition can be slidably placed in the slide rails on the corresponding sides.

[0025] To improve the disinfection effect inside the box, the fixing strip is equipped with disinfection components. During the movement of the flexible partition, the box can be dynamically disinfected, reducing disinfection dead corners and achieving good disinfection results.

[0026] In the above scheme, the disinfection component is an ultraviolet lamp.

[0027] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a flexible partition, when full-cavity washing is required, the flexible partition is wound onto a roller with the roller adjacent to the rear side wall of the cabinet. In this way, the flexible partition is located on the rear side wall of the cabinet, occupying little space, achieving the largest possible compartment, not affecting the placement of tableware, and not obstructing the water flow. When half-cavity washing is required, the extended end of the flexible partition is pulled to the first position, separating the upper and lower spaces, allowing tableware to be washed in the lower space and stored in the upper space.

[0031] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1-3As shown, the dishwasher of this preferred embodiment includes a cabinet 1 and a partition assembly. The front of the cabinet 1 is open, and the partition assembly is disposed in the cabinet 1.

[0033] The partition assembly includes a roller 2, a flexible partition 3, and a drive mechanism.

[0034] A roller 2 is located on the rear side wall of the housing 1, extending left and right and rotatable around its axis. A flexible partition 3 is wound around the roller 2. The flexible partition 3 can move forward and backward to a first position and a second position from its extended end on the roller 2. When the extended end of the flexible partition 3 is moved forward to the first position, the flexible partition 3 divides the interior of the housing 1 into an independent upper space 11 and a lower space 12, achieving half-cavity washing. When the extended end of the flexible partition 3 is moved backward to the second position, the flexible partition 3 is wound around the roller 2, and the upper space 11 and the lower space 12 are connected, achieving full-cavity washing. The flexible partition 3 can be made of a flexible, waterproof material, such as umbrella fabric, and is thin, occupying little space in the housing 1.

[0035] The drive mechanism includes a drive component 4, a rotating shaft 5, a fixing bar 6, and an elastic component 7.

[0036] The rotating shaft 5 extends in the left-right direction and is located adjacent to the reel 2. The rotating shaft 5 can rotate around its axis. The driving component 4 is driven and connected to the rotating shaft 5. The driving component 4 is located outside the housing 1. The output shaft of the driving component 4 passes through the side wall of the housing 1 and is driven and connected to the rotating shaft 5. In this way, the driving component 4 not only does not occupy the internal space of the housing 1, but also does not require waterproofing. The driving component 4 can be a motor.

[0037] The fixing strip 6 is located at the front end of the flexible partition 3. The fixing strip 6 is connected to the rotating shaft 5 through a transmission mechanism, which allows the fixing strip 6 to move back and forth. The transmission mechanism includes a nut 81, a lead screw 82, a first bevel gear 83, and a second bevel gear 84. A lead screw 82 extending in the front-back direction is provided between the rotating shaft 5 and the fixing strip 6. The first bevel gear 83 is provided on the rotating shaft 5. The rear end of the lead screw 82 is provided with a second bevel gear 84 that meshes with the first bevel gear 83. The nut 81 is provided on the fixing strip 6, and the lead screw 82 is threadedly connected to the nut 81.

[0038] The elastic element 7 acts on the spool 2, causing the spool 2 to maintain a tendency to rotate in the direction on which the flexible partition 3 is wound. In this embodiment, the elastic element 7 is a torsion spring.

[0039] When the driving component 4 operates, it drives the rotating shaft 5 to rotate. The first bevel gear 83 and the second bevel gear 84 mesh, and the second bevel gear 84 drives the lead screw 82 to rotate. The nut 81 moves along the lead screw 82, thereby causing the fixing strip 6 to move back and forth. During the backward movement of the fixing strip 6, the scroll 2 rotates under the action of the elastic component 7, causing the flexible partition 3 to be wound around it; during the forward movement of the fixing strip 6, the scroll 2 rotates under the action of the flexible partition 3.

[0040] To reduce the impact of the transmission mechanism on the placement of tableware, the transmission mechanism is located at the edge of the flexible partition 3. Furthermore, the transmission mechanism is located at the edges of both the left and right sides of the flexible partition 3, so that the flexible partition 3 is subjected to uniform force on both sides and moves smoothly.

[0041] The rotating shaft 5 is located in front of the scroll 2 and below the flexible partition 3, so that the rotating shaft 5 will not interfere with the movement of the flexible partition 3.

[0042] In order to guide the movement trajectory of the flexible partition 3, the left and right sides of the box 1 are provided with slide rails 0 extending in the front-back direction. The left and right sides of the flexible partition 3 can be slidably placed in the corresponding slide rails 0. In this embodiment, the slide rails 0 are U-shaped, and the left and right sides of the flexible partition 3 are placed in the U-shaped grooves of the corresponding slide rails 0.

[0043] To improve the disinfection effect in the box 1, the fixing strip 6 is equipped with a disinfection component 9. During the movement of the flexible partition 3, the box 1 can be dynamically disinfected, reducing disinfection dead corners and achieving good disinfection effect.

[0044] In this embodiment, the disinfection component 9 is an ultraviolet lamp. The power cord connected to the ultraviolet lamp can be threaded through the lead screw 82 and then passed out from the lead screw 82 to connect to the power board.
