[0031] An embodiment of the present application provides a dishwasher, comprising a door body 100 according to any one of the embodiments described below, and further comprising an inner container provided with an open cleaning cavity for placing and cleaning tableware, and the door body 100 is provided on the inner container and covers the opening of the cleaning cavity.
[0032] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1The structural schematic diagram of the door body 100 in the embodiment of the present application is shown. The door body 100 provided by the embodiment of the present application can be applied to the above-mentioned dishwasher, and can also be applied to other devices, without limitation.
[0033] As shown in Figure 1 , the door body 100 includes a main body 110 and a handle assembly 120. The main body 110 has a top surface 111 and a front end surface 112 arranged at an included angle. In the present embodiment, the top surface 111 and the front end surface 112 are arranged perpendicularly, but this is not limiting.
[0034] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the handle assembly 120 of the door body 100 in the embodiment of the present application is shown in different positions. Figure 2 and Figure 3 respectively show the cross-sectional schematic diagram of the handle assembly 120 of the door body 100 in the embodiment of the present application in different positions. The main body 110 is provided with a receiving groove 113 located at the corner where the top surface 111 and the front end surface 112 meet. The receiving groove 113 is used to place the handle assembly 120 in the following storage position, and the receiving groove 113 is arranged at the corner to facilitate processing.
[0035] As shown in Figure 1 , the handle assembly 120 is rotatably connected to the main body 110 between the storage position shown by the solid line in Figure 1 and the protruding position shown by the dashed line in Figure 1 . As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , when the handle assembly 120 is in the storage position shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the handle assembly 120 is at least partially located in the receiving groove 113. The handle assembly 120 does not protrude from the front end surface 112, and the top end of the handle assembly 120 is flush with the top surface 111. At this time, the handle assembly 120 can be hidden inside the receiving groove 113 in appearance, avoiding the protrusion of the handle assembly 120 from the main body 110 at the top end, and filling the gap at the position of the receiving groove 113 in appearance, so that the appearance integrity of the door body 100 is better, and a decorative effect is achieved.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , in the present embodiment, when the handle assembly 120 is in the storage position, the front end of the handle assembly 120 is flush with the front end surface 112. At this time, the handle assembly 120 fills the gap at the position of the receiving groove 113 in appearance, so that the appearance integrity of the door body 100 is better.
[0037] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, when the handle assembly 120 is in the storage position, it partially fills the receiving groove 113, and there is a gap between the handle assembly 120 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 113 so that a hand can reach in and grasp the handle assembly 120.
[0038] Handle assembly 120 is in such a position Figure 1 and Figure 3 When the handle assembly 120 is in the protruding position shown, it protrudes at least partially from the front end face 112 to facilitate pulling, thereby opening and closing the door 100 by pulling the handle assembly 120.
[0039] In one embodiment, the top surface 111 is a control panel, and the height and orientation of the top surface 111 are more suitable for user operation. At the same time, the handle assembly 120 is at a similar height to the top surface 111, and the height of the handle assembly 120 is also more convenient for the user to grip.
[0040] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the handle assembly 120 includes a crossbar 121 and a base 122 connected to both ends of the crossbar 121.

Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, when the handle assembly 120 is in the retracted position, the crossbar 121 is flush with the top surface 111. At this time, there is a gap between the crossbar 121 and the bottom wall of the receiving groove 113, so that a hand can reach in and grasp the crossbar 121. Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, when the handle assembly 120 is in the protruding position, the crossbar 121 and the front end face 112 are spaced apart, so that a hand can reach between the crossbar 121 and the front end face 112 to grab and pull the crossbar 121, thereby driving the door 100 to open and close by pulling the handle assembly 120.
[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in one embodiment, the receiving groove 113 extends horizontally through the door body 100 assembly, and the two bases 122 are respectively connected to the two side walls 114 arranged in parallel on the main body 110. The length of the crossbar 121 is equivalent to the overall length of the door body 100. At this time, the receiving groove 113 is easier to process, and the overall strength of the main body 110 is less affected by the receiving groove 113. The crossbar 121 has a long gripping distance, which is more convenient for users and provides a better user experience.
[0042] like Figures 2 to 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the base 122 is provided with a relief groove 1221. The relief groove 1221 is located at one end of the base 122 near the bottom of the receiving groove 113, and the relief groove 1221 has an arc-shaped structure coaxial with the rotation axis 123 described below, so as to avoid the top of the front end face 112 interfering with the rotation of the base 122.

[0044] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in one of the embodiments, the handle assembly 120 further comprises a limiting block 124 connected to the rotating shaft 123, the limiting block 124 rotates synchronously with the rotating shaft 123, and when the handle assembly 120 is in the protruding position, the limiting block 124 abuts against the main body 110, so as to limit the rotation angle of the handle assembly 120 through the limiting block 124, and avoid the direct abutment of the handle assembly 120 to the front end face 112 of the main body 110 to cause the collision of the front end face 112.
[0045] As shown in the figure, Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in one of the embodiments, the circumferential surface of the rotating shaft 123 is provided with an abutting plane 1231, the limiting block 124 is provided with a mounting hole 1241 matched with the rotating shaft 123, the limiting block 124 has an abutting inner wall 1242 for defining the mounting hole 1241, and the abutting plane 1231 and the abutting inner wall 1242 abut in the circumferential direction of the rotating shaft 123, so as to realize the synchronous rotation of the limiting block 124 and the rotating shaft 123.
[0046] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in one of the embodiments, the axis of the rotating shaft 123 is parallel to but different from the central axis of the limiting block 124, so as to make the limiting block 124 become an eccentric shaft rotating structure, thereby limiting the rotation angle of the limiting block 124 through the eccentric rotation of the limiting block 124.
[0047] As shown in the figure, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, in one of the embodiments, the limiting block 124 is a waist-shaped block, and the limiting block 124 has a limiting plane 1243, as shown in the figure, Figure 5 As shown in the figure, when the handle assembly 120 is in the protruding position, the limiting plane 1243 abuts against the end face in the main body 110 which is parallel to the front end face 112.
