Detailed Implementation

[0028] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 4 According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the inner liner assembly includes an inner liner 11 and a guide rail support 12, wherein the inner liner 11 provides a storage cavity 101, and the guide rail support 12 can be disposed inside the inner liner 11 to support the guide rail assembly 20 and guide the guide rail assembly 20 to slide.

[0030] Specifically, the inner liner 11 has a receiving cavity 101, which has a top surface 102, a side surface 103, and a transition surface 104. The transition surface 104 connects the top surface 102 and the side surface 103, and is configured to slope inwards towards the receiving cavity 101 from bottom to top, so as to provide a smooth transition between the side surface 103 and the top surface 102 of the inner liner 11. The guide rail support 12 includes a mounting base 121 and a support portion 122. The mounting base 121 is used to mount the guide rail support 12 to the inner liner 11, and the support portion 122 is used to support the guide rail assembly 20 or the loading assembly 30, and to guide the loading assembly 30 to slide into and out of the inner liner 11. The mounting base 121 is connected to the side wall 112 of the inner liner 11, and the support portion 122 is connected to the mounting base 121. The upper edge of the support part 122 is not lower than the lower edge of the transition surface 104. The rotation axis 1201 of the support part 122 is set to be higher than the axis 1202 of the positioning hole 1205, so that the support part 122 can be raised. Preferably, the support part 122 is raised to the point where the upper edge is not lower than the lower edge of the transition surface 104, so as to make full use of the space in the storage cavity 101 corresponding to the transition surface 104, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the storage cavity 101.

[0031] According to the embodiment of the present invention, the inner liner assembly can raise the height of the guide rail support 12, thereby raising the height of the loading assembly 30 supported on the guide rail support 12 and improving the space utilization rate inside the inner liner assembly.

[0032] In this invention, the guide rail support 12 can be disposed on the left and right sides inside the inner liner 11. The left and right sides of the loading component 30 can be supported by the guide rail support 12 at corresponding positions, so as to facilitate the movement of the loading component 30 in the front-back direction. The loading component 30 can be configured to hold cutlery such as knives and forks with small height. Furthermore, a guide rail assembly 20 can be disposed between the guide rail support 12 and the loading component 30. Specifically, the guide rail assembly 20 is movably supported on the support part 122 in the front-back direction, and the loading component 30 is movably supported on the guide rail in the front-back direction. During the movement of the loading component 30 in the front-back direction, the guide rail assembly 20 also moves in the front-back direction. The sliding of the guide rail assembly 20 in the front-back direction lags behind the sliding of the loading component 30 in the front-back direction, thereby increasing the displacement of the loading component 30 in the front-back direction, so as to facilitate the loading component 30 being stored in the inner liner 11 and to facilitate the loading component 30 extending out of the inner liner 11 to place cutlery, etc.

[0033] This utility model is mainly described using the example of the guide rail assembly 20 being supported on the guide rail support 12 and the guide rail assembly 20 guiding the loading assembly 30 to move back and forth. This is not a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0034] To facilitate the lifting of the support 122, the mounting base 121 can be configured such that at least a portion of it is opposite to the transition surface 104 in the left-right direction. The portion of the mounting base 121 opposite to the transition surface 104 needs to be provided with a clearance structure, which includes, but is not limited to: the surface of the mounting base 121 corresponding to the transition surface 104 being configured to fit against the transition surface 104; or, a portion of the surface of the mounting base 121 corresponding to the transition surface 104 being in contact with the transition surface 104, and another portion being spaced apart from the transition surface 104; or, the surface of the mounting base 121 corresponding to the transition surface 104 being spaced apart from the transition surface 104.

[0035] In some embodiments of this utility model, the mounting base 121 has a first mating surface 1203 opposite to the transition surface 104. To facilitate the installation of the mounting base 121 and avoid interference between the transition surface 104 and the mounting base 121, the first mating surface 1203 and the transition surface 104 are spaced apart. This avoids interference between the mounting base 121 and the inner liner 11, facilitating the installation of the mounting base 121. Even if there are certain manufacturing errors in the mounting base 121 or the inner liner 11, the stable assembly of the mounting base 121 and the side wall 112 of the inner liner 11 can be guaranteed, thereby improving the installation stability of the mounting base 121.

[0036] In order to achieve the separation between the first mating surface 1203 and the transition surface 104, the present invention may include, but is not limited to, the following embodiments.

[0037] In the first embodiment, the first mating surface 1203 is inclined towards the receiving cavity 101 from bottom to top. Since the transition surface 104 is inclined towards the receiving cavity 101 from bottom to top, this invention also sets the first mating surface 1203 to be inclined towards the receiving cavity 101 from bottom to top. This ensures that there is sufficient clearance between the first mating surface 1203 and the transition surface 104 in the left-right direction, avoiding the problem of contact or interference between the transition surface 104 and the first mating surface 1203 as the transition surface 104 extends into the receiving cavity 101, thereby further improving the installation stability of the mounting base 121.

[0038] In the second embodiment, the mounting base 121 further has a second mating surface 1204 opposite to the side surface 103, and the first mating surface 1203 is offset towards the inside of the receiving cavity 101 relative to the second mating surface 1204. The first mating surface 1203 can be configured to face the side surface 103 to facilitate the assembly of the mounting base 121 with the side wall 112. Offsetting the first mating surface 1203 relative to the second mating surface 1204 ensures sufficient clearance between the first mating surface 1203 and the transition surface 104 in the left-right direction. Optionally, the clearance between the lower end of the first mating surface 1203 and the transition surface 104 in the left-right direction is greater than the clearance between the upper end of the second mating surface 1204 and the transition surface 104 in the left-right direction.

[0039] In the third embodiment, the mounting base 121 further has a second mating surface 1204 opposite to the side surface 103. The first mating surface 1203 is offset towards the inside of the receiving cavity 101 relative to the second mating surface 1204, and the first mating surface 1203 is inclined towards the inside of the receiving cavity 101 from bottom to top. This not only ensures a sufficiently large gap between the first mating surface 1203 and the transition surface 104, avoiding contact or interference between the transition surface 104 and the first mating surface 1203 as the transition surface 104 extends inward towards the receiving cavity 101, thus further improving the installation stability of the mounting base 121, but also ensures a sufficient gap between the lower edge of the first mating surface 1203 near the second mating surface 1204 and the transition surface 104, further improving the installation stability of the mounting base 121.

[0040] like Figure 4 In some embodiments, the mounting base 121 has a positioning hole 1205, through which the mounting base 121 can be installed onto the inner liner 11. For example, a fastener (such as a screw, rivet, etc.) can be provided to pass through the positioning hole 1205 and the inner liner 11, thereby stably positioning the mounting base 121 against the side wall 112 of the inner liner 11. The support portion 122 is rotatably connected to the mounting base 121. The support portion 122 can convert the sliding motion of the loading assembly 30 during the sliding into and out of the inner liner 11 into the rotational motion of the support portion 122, which can effectively improve the stability of the loading assembly 30 during the sliding into and out of the inner liner 11. The rotation axis 1201 of the support portion 122 is higher than the axis 1202 of the positioning hole 1205.

[0041] In this invention, by setting the rotation axis 1201 of the support part 122 to be higher than the axis 1202 of the positioning hole 1205, the rotation axis 1201 of the support part 122 can be raised to be higher than the axis 1202 of the positioning hole 1205, thereby raising the height of the support part 122.

[0042] like Figure 4 In some embodiments, one of the mounting base 121 and the side wall 112 has a positioning protrusion 1231, and the other has a positioning recess (not shown in the figure). The positioning protrusion 1231 is recessed into the positioning recess, and the rotation axis 1201 of the support 122 is higher than the positioning protrusion 1231. Through the cooperation of the positioning protrusion 1231 and the positioning recess, the mounting base 121 can be pre-positioned with the side wall 112 to facilitate the connection with the side wall 112 of the inner liner 11, thereby improving the installation efficiency and stability of the mounting base 121.

[0043] The positioning protrusion 1231 can be provided on the mounting base 121, while the positioning recess can be provided on the side 103 and recessed in the direction away from the receiving cavity 101 relative to the side 103. The positioning protrusion 1231 can be configured to pass through the positioning recess, and the bottom surface of the positioning recess can also be provided with a hole corresponding to the positioning hole 1205. During the assembly process, the positioning protrusion 1231 can be inserted into the positioning recess to complete the pre-positioning of the mounting base 121, so as to position the mounting base 121 in an appropriate position. At this time, the positioning hole 1205 is aligned with the hole on the bottom surface of the positioning recess. The mounting base 121 can be quickly installed by fasteners passing through the positioning hole 1205 and the hole on the bottom surface of the recess.

[0044] To achieve stable support of the guide rail support 12 for the guide rail assembly 20, two or more support portions 122 are typically provided. Each support portion 122 can be independently provided with a corresponding mounting base 121, allowing for independent installation of these support portions 122 onto the inner liner 11. Furthermore, in some embodiments of this invention, the mounting base 121 is configured as an elongated strip extending in the front-rear direction, and the support portion 122 includes at least two portions distributed in the front-rear direction and connected to the same mounting base 121. Thus, the guide rail support 12 adopts a modular design, allowing its assembly to be completed before installation onto the inner liner 11, and then installed onto the inner liner 11 together after assembly. This simplifies the installation process of the guide rail support 12 and improves its installation efficiency.

[0045] Furthermore, by mounting at least two support portions 122 on the same mounting base 121, the uniformity of the at least two support portions 122 can be easily achieved. For example, in some examples, the at least two support portions 122 can be configured such that the rotation axes 1201 are parallel to each other and distributed in the front-back direction. By mounting at least two support portions 122 on the same mounting base 121, the relative position of the at least two support portions 122 can be kept stable, the formation of the guide rail support 12 can be optimized, and the stable support of the guide rail support 12 on the guide rail assembly 20 can be guaranteed.

[0046] like Figures 3 to 6In some embodiments, the mounting base 121 includes: a fixing part 1211, an extension part 1212, a positioning post 1213, and a positioning buckle 1214. The fixing part 1211 is connected to the side wall 112; the extension part 1212 is connected to the fixing part 1211 and extends upward; the positioning post 1213 is connected to the extension part 1212 and has a non-circular mounting hole 1206; the positioning buckle 1214 includes a connecting part 1214a and a positioning part 1214b. The connecting part 1214a is adapted to the shape of the mounting hole 1206 and fits into the mounting hole 1206; wherein, the support part 122 is sleeved on the outside of the positioning post 1213 and is limited between the positioning post 1213 and the positioning part 1214b.

[0047] The mounting base 121 can be configured as a single piece.

[0048] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The fixing part 1211 may include a first fixing end and a second fixing end distributed front to back, and the extension part 1212 may include a first extension end and a second extension end distributed front to back. The first extension end is connected to the first fixing end and extends upward relative to the first fixing end, and the second extension end is connected to the second fixing end and extends upward relative to the second fixing end. A connecting rib may be provided between the first fixing end and the second fixing end and between the first extension end and the second extension end. The connecting rib may include a plurality of first ribs extending in the front-back direction and a plurality of second ribs extending in the up-down direction. The plurality of first ribs and the plurality of second ribs are connected in a crisscross pattern to form a bowl shape, and the front and rear ends of the connecting rib are respectively connected to the first fixing end and the second fixing end, and to the first extension end and the second extension end.

[0049] Positioning holes 1205 are provided at the first fixed end and the second fixed end, and positioning protrusions 1231 are provided at the first fixed end and the second fixed end. Positioning pins 1213 may be connected to both the first extension end and the second extension end.

[0050] The positioning post 1213 may include a first post portion and a second post portion. The first post portion is connected to the extension portion 1212, and the second post portion is connected to the first post portion. At least a portion of the outer peripheral surface of the first post portion protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the second post portion to form a step at the connection between the first post portion and the second post portion. The support portion 122 can be supported at the step and is confined between the first post portion and the positioning portion 1214b. After the positioning buckle 1214 passes through the mounting hole 1206, it can be fixedly connected to the extension portion 1212 by screws.

[0051] In some embodiments, the support 122 is configured as a roller. The roller may have an axis extending in the left-right direction, and the guide rail assembly 20 may have a C-shaped cross-section, enclosing the roller. The upper edge of the guide rail assembly 20 may support the upper edge of the roller, and the roller rotates around its axis when the guide rail assembly 20 moves in the front-back direction. In conjunction with the aforementioned embodiments, the roller may be configured such that its upper edge is not lower than the lower edge of the transition surface 104, which may include, but is not limited to, in the projection along the left-right direction: the upper edge of the roller is flush with the lower edge of the transition surface 104; or the upper edge of the roller is higher than the lower edge of the transition surface 104. In the projection along the left and right direction, the ratio of the dimension of the upper edge of the roller being higher than the lower edge of the transition surface 104 to the roller diameter can be set to be greater than or equal to 0 and less than or equal to 1. Optionally, this ratio can be set to 0.1, 0.15, 0.23, 0.4, 0.5, 0.8, etc., which can improve the stability of the connection between the mounting base 121 and the side wall 112 of the inner liner 11 and ensure stable support for the guide rail assembly 20.

[0052] like Figure 1 In some embodiments, the inner liner 11 includes a top wall 111 and a side wall 112. The top wall 111 includes a top plate 1111 and a transition plate 1112. The upper edge of the transition plate 1112 connects to the periphery of the top plate 1111 and extends downward to connect to the upper edge of the side wall 112. The inner surface 103 of the transition plate 1112 is set as a transition surface 104. The transition plate 1112 can be used to achieve a stable connection between the top wall 111 and the top plate 1111 and the side wall 112. The top plate 1111, the transition plate 1112, and the side wall 112 can be integrally formed from sheet metal. Alternatively, the top wall 111 and the side wall 112 can be connected by welding.

[0053] The dishwasher 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes the aforementioned inner tub assembly, guide rail assembly 20 and loading assembly 30. The guide rail assembly 20 is supported on the support portion 122 and is movable in the front-back direction; the loading assembly 30 is connected to the guide rail assembly 20 and is slidable in the front-back direction.

[0054] Combination Figures 1 to 7According to the dishwasher 100 of this utility model embodiment, by setting the rotation axis 1201 of the support portion 122 to be higher than the axis 1202 of the positioning hole 1205, the axis of the support portion 122 can be raised to be higher than the axis 1202 of the positioning hole 1205, thereby raising the height of the support portion 122. Optionally, the upper edge of the support portion 122 is not lower than the lower edge of the transition surface 104. That is, by setting the rotation axis 1201 of the support portion 122 to be higher than the axis 1202 of the positioning hole 1205, the support portion 122 can be raised. Preferably, the support portion 122 is raised so that the upper edge is not lower than the lower edge of the transition surface 104, so as to make full use of the space in the storage cavity 101 corresponding to the transition surface 104, thereby improving the utilization rate of the internal space of the storage cavity 101. The height of the guide rail support 12 can be raised, thereby raising the height of the loading assembly 30 supported on the guide rail support 12, improving the space utilization rate of the inner liner assembly.

[0055] like Figure 7 In some embodiments, the loading assembly 30 includes a support frame 31, a fixed tray 32, and a movable tray 33. The support frame 31 is connected to the guide rail assembly 20. The fixed tray 32 is mounted on the support frame 31 and its relative position is fixed. The movable tray 33 is mounted on the support frame 31 and can slide along the support frame 31. The support frame 31 provides support for the loading assembly 30. The fixed tray 32 has a fixed position and can provide a fixed place for tableware. The movable tray 33 can be adjusted by sliding so that when it is necessary to use the space above the support assembly to place taller items, the movable tray 33 can slide toward the fixed tray 32, thereby improving the space utilization within the dishwasher 100.

[0056] Optionally, the fixed tray 32 is recessed relative to the movable tray 33, which can slide above the fixed tray 32.

[0057] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, and particularly to an inner tank assembly and a dishwasher 100. The dishwasher 100 may include a non-integral loading assembly 30 with a movable bottom mesh. This loading assembly 30 can be located in the upper part of the inner tank 11, making full use of the upper space within the inner tank assembly. The loading assembly 30 can be configured to hold cutlery, etc. As a carrier supporting cutlery, the loading assembly 30, together with the upper dish rack 40, determines the space utilization rate in the middle and upper part of the inner tank 11 cavity of the dishwasher 100. In related dishwashers 100, the loading assembly 30 is generally integrated or multi-functional. Integrated trays have poor compatibility with the size of the tableware placed on or below them, while mainstream multi-functional trays (with adjustable bottom mesh) offer limited improvement in the utilization rate of the dishwasher 100's internal space, and their operation is not smooth enough, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0058] To address the pain points mentioned above regarding usage and demand, this utility model proposes a loading assembly 30 with a recessed bottom mesh (fixed tray 32 recessed relative to movable tray 33) and movable trays 33 that can slide left and right, along with a dishwasher 100. The loading assembly 30 mainly includes a support frame 31 (which can be a frame formed by connecting steel wires), a support component, a fixed tray 32, and movable trays 33. The support component can be located on the left and right sides of the support frame 31. The movable trays 33 can include two distributed along the left and right directions and can move along the left and right directions. A fixing plate is fixedly installed in the middle of the support frame 31 along the left and right directions. A handle is connected to the front of the support frame 31. In addition, the loading assembly 30 may also include a surrounding frame, which can be a plastic frame. The support component, fixed tray 32, movable tray 33, surrounding frame, and other structures can be connected to the support frame 31 by snap-fit ​​connections.

[0059] The support frame 31 can be equipped with guide strips, and the movable tray 33 can slide left and right along the guide strips. The fixed tray 32 is recessed relative to the movable tray 33, which can provide a larger loading space for the loading assembly 30. When the lower dish rack needs to load large tableware, the left and right sliding trays can be slid towards the middle or only one of them can be slid (in which case the sliding distance is the farthest). This can be flexibly selected according to the usage scenario, making room in the original space to meet the placement requirements.

[0060] In this utility model, the loading component 30 is equipped with a movable tray 33, which provides the upper bowl basket 40 with an extremely large loading space; the loading space of the loading component 30 can be flexibly selected to meet the needs of multiple usage scenarios; the movable tray 33 slides smoothly in the left and right directions, improving the user experience;

[0061] The loading assembly 30 slides back and forth along the guide rail assembly 20 via the support assembly. The guide rail assembly 20 is mounted on the left and right sides of the inner liner 11 cavity via the support assembly. The loading assembly 30 mainly includes a load-bearing frame 31, a plastic frame, a support assembly, a movable tray 33, a fixed tray 32, handles, and other parts. Each component is assembled on the load-bearing frame 31 via slots and buckles. The movable tray 33 can slide left and right along the guide wire.

[0062] The mounting base 121 of the guide rail support 12 is fixed to the inner liner 11 with screws (at least two screws). The support part 122 is assembled with the guide rail assembly 20. The vertical distance between the mounting base 121 and the support part 122 is the lifting height. Due to the large rounded corner structure on the left and right sides of the top of the inner liner 11, there will be a certain distance between the positioning hole 1205 and the top of the cavity. The traditional support part 122 is an independent component (to achieve the same support effect, two or more support parts 122 distributed front and back are required). The rotation axis 1201 of the support part 122 and the positioning axis of the mounting base 121 are on the same horizontal line, which theoretically means that the tray assembly cannot be lifted to the ultimate position. In this utility model, the mounting base 121 can be used to lift the support part 122. According to the structure and space of the inner liner 11, an appropriate lifting height can be selected to place the loading assembly 30 at the highest possible position, thereby increasing the space for loading tableware in the lower bowl basket.

[0063] Furthermore, the positioning post 1213 in this invention features a rhomboid mating structure to prevent the positioning buckle 1214 and the positioning post 1213 from misaligning and rolling. The roller is mounted on the mounting base 121, and the positioning buckle 1214 has a rhomboid structure that matches the mounting hole 1206. The positioning buckle 1214 is fitted into the rhomboid mounting hole 1206 and fixed with screws. The stepped structure at one end of the positioning post 1213 restricts the axial movement of the support part 122. The rhomboid mating structure prevents the positioning buckle 1214 and the positioning post 1213 from misaligning and rolling during assembly, which would prevent the screw from being driven in. When driving the screw, the rhomboid limiting structure restricts the rotation of the positioning buckle 1214 relative to the positioning post 1213, thus facilitating screw driving. In addition, the rhomboid mating structure allows for a tighter fit between the positioning post 1213 and the positioning buckle 1214, reducing radial stress on the screw side and improving reliability.
