Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of kitchen appliances, and more particularly to a dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] As living standards improve, more and more families are equipped with dishwashers.

[0003] Currently, dishwashers are installed in two ways: freestanding and built-in. Freestanding dishwashers require a limit stop on the lower shelf to effectively prevent overtravel and tipping. Built-in dishwashers, because they are embedded in a cabinet, have their movement restricted, effectively preventing tipping. Therefore, freestanding dishwashers need a stop structure on the lower shelf.

[0004] However, when users change a stand-alone dishwasher to a built-in installation, the stop structure affects the movement of the lower shelf, impacting the efficiency of users retrieving dishes and resulting in a poor user experience. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a dishwasher that offers a better user experience when changed from a freestanding installation to a built-in installation.

[0006] This application provides a dishwasher, comprising:

[0007] The enclosure includes a cleaning chamber.

[0008] The door is rotatably connected to the housing to open or close the cleaning chamber;

[0009] The lower shelf is movably connected to the cabinet. The lower shelf is close to the bottom of the cleaning chamber and moves relative to the cabinet along the depth direction of the cabinet to enter and exit the cleaning chamber.

[0010] The stop structure is connected to the lower shelf and includes:

[0011] Connector, which connects to the lower shelf;

[0012] The movable part is movably connected to the connecting part. The movable part moves relative to the connecting part to change the distance between the bottom of the movable part and the bottom of the connecting part along the height direction of the box, so that the movable part abuts against the door or there is a gap between the bottom of the movable part and the door.

[0013] The dishwasher provided in this embodiment includes a cabinet, a door, a lower shelf, and a stop structure. The cabinet has a cleaning chamber. The door is rotatably connected to the cabinet to open or close the cleaning chamber. The lower shelf is movably connected to the cabinet, located near the bottom of the cleaning chamber, and moves relative to the cabinet along its depth direction to enter and exit the cleaning chamber. The stop structure includes a connector and a moving member. The connector is connected to the lower shelf, and the moving member is movably connected to the connector. The moving member moves relative to the connector to change the distance between the bottom of the moving member and the bottom of the connector along the height direction of the cabinet. When the dishwasher is installed freestanding, adjusting the moving member lowers its bottom position, thus limiting its movement and pulling the lower shelf outward until it abuts against the door, at which point the lower shelf reaches a preset limit position. When the dishwasher is installed built-in, adjusting the moving member raises its bottom position. When the lower shelf is pulled outwards, the gap between the moving part and the door prevents the moving part from acting as a limit, allowing the lower shelf to be pulled continuously. This makes it convenient for users to retrieve tableware and improves the user experience.

[0014] In some embodiments, the movable element is rotatably connected to the connecting element.

[0015] In this way, compared with the sliding connection between the moving part and the connecting part, the rotating connection between the moving part and the connecting part occupies less space along the height direction of the box.

[0016] In some embodiments, one end of the movable member is rotatably connected to the connecting member;

[0017] The movable part rotates downward relative to the connecting part so that the other end of the movable part is below the bottom surface of the connecting part; the movable part rotates upward relative to the connecting part so that the other end of the movable part is above the bottom surface of the connecting part.

[0018] In this way, when the dishwasher is installed freestanding, the moving part can abut against the bottom of the protrusion on the door to limit the extreme position of the lower shelf. When the dishwasher is installed built-in, the moving part does not need to act as a limiter, and it is less likely to restrict the movement of the lower shelf, allowing the user to continuously pull the lower shelf outward.

[0019] In some embodiments, a pivot is provided at one end of the movable component;

[0020] The lower part of the connector is provided with a rotating hole and an opening. The opening is located on one side of the rotating hole, and the extension direction of the opening is consistent with the axial direction of the rotating hole.

[0021] During installation, the shaft is positioned inside the rotating hole through the opening, and the axial direction of the shaft is aligned with the axial direction of the rotating hole.

[0022] This makes the installation of moving parts and connectors more convenient and improves installation efficiency.

[0023] In some embodiments, the movable element is slidably connected to the connecting element.

[0024] In this way, compared to the rotatable connection between the moving part and the connecting part, the sliding connection between the moving part and the connecting part results in a smaller space occupied by the stop structure along the width direction of the box.

[0025] In some embodiments, the stop structure further includes:

[0026] The first fixing part is connected to the moving part;

[0027] The second fixing part is connected to the connecting member.

[0028] When the door opens to clean the chamber, and there is a gap between the bottom of the moving part and the door along the height direction of the box, the first fixing part and the second fixing part are detachably connected to fix the position of the moving part.

[0029] When the dishwasher is installed as a built-in unit, the first fixing part connects with the second fixing part to fix the position of the moving part, making it difficult for the moving part to move to the limit state. When the dishwasher is installed as a freestanding unit, the first fixing part disconnects from the second fixing part, allowing the moving part to move to the limit state.

[0030] In some embodiments, the first fixing part includes a snap fastener, and the second fixing part is located at the end of the connector, with the snap fastener engaging with the second fixing part.

[0031] This makes adjusting the status of moving objects more convenient and helps improve the user experience.

[0032] In some embodiments, one of the first fixing part and the second fixing part includes an elastic protrusion, and the other includes a positioning hole that matches the elastic protrusion, with the elastic protrusion engaged in the positioning hole.

[0033] This allows the position of the connector to be fixed.

[0034] In some embodiments, the stop structure is located at the bottom of the lower shelf;

[0035] When the door closes the cleaning chamber, the stop structure is located on the side of the lower shelf away from the door.

[0036] In this way, when the stop structure abuts against the bottom of the protrusion of the door, that is, when the lower shelf moves to the limit position, the part of the lower shelf outside the cabinet is larger, making it easier for the user to take out the tableware.

[0037] In some embodiments, the lower shelf includes:

[0038] Shelf body;

[0039] Two roller sets are located on opposite sides of the shelf body along the width direction of the box. Each roller set includes at least two roller structures spaced apart along the depth direction of the box. Each roller structure includes a fixed body and a rolling body. The fixed body is connected to the shelf body, and the rolling body is tactilely connected to the fixed body and the box body. The two roller sets include a first roller set and a second roller set. There are two stop structures. One connector is connected to the fixed body of the roller structure on the side away from the door in the first roller set, and the other connector is connected to the fixed body of the roller structure on the side away from the door in the second roller set.

[0040] In this way, the roller assembly can reduce the friction between the lower shelf and the cabinet, making it easier for users to move the lower shelf. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0056] As shown in the background section, when a dishwasher is installed independently, the travel distance of the lower shelf needs to be limited. If there are many dishes on the lower shelf, the length of the lower shelf pulled outside the cabinet is large. The weight of the lower shelf and dishes acts on the door, which can easily cause the dishwasher to tip forward. Therefore, a stop structure is needed to limit this. However, in a built-in dishwasher, due to the constraints of the cabinet, the weight of the lower shelf and dishes acts on the door, making it less likely to tip forward. Therefore, the travel distance of the lower shelf in a built-in dishwasher does not need to be limited. However, when a user converts a stand-alone dishwasher to a built-in installation, the stop structure affects the travel distance of the lower shelf, impacting the efficiency of retrieving dishes and resulting in a poor user experience.

[0057] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a dishwasher comprising a cabinet, a door, a lower shelf, and a stop structure. The cabinet includes a cleaning chamber. The door is rotatably connected to the cabinet to open or close the cleaning chamber. The lower shelf is movably connected to the cabinet, located near the bottom of the cleaning chamber, and moves relative to the cabinet along its depth direction to enter and exit the cleaning chamber. The stop structure includes a connector and a moving member. The connector is connected to the lower shelf, and the moving member is movably connected to the connector. The moving member moves relative to the connector to change the distance between the bottom of the moving member and the bottom of the connector along the height direction of the cabinet. When the dishwasher is installed freestanding, adjusting the moving member lowers its bottom position, thus limiting its movement and pulling the lower shelf outward until it abuts against the door, at which point the lower shelf reaches a preset limit position. When the dishwasher is installed built-in, adjusting the moving member raises its bottom position. When the lower shelf is pulled outwards, the gap between the moving part and the door prevents the moving part from acting as a limit, allowing the lower shelf to be pulled continuously. This makes it convenient for users to retrieve tableware and improves the user experience.

[0064] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a dishwasher provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0065] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the dishwasher includes a housing 100. The housing 100 is provided with a cleaning chamber.

[0066] Specifically, the enclosure 100 includes an outer shell, which serves both aesthetic and protective purposes.

[0067] The housing 100 includes an inner liner located within the outer shell, and the inner liner is used to form a cleaning chamber.

[0068] The housing 100 includes a base located in the outer shell and at the bottom of the inner liner. The base is used to form an installation space for components such as the drainage system and the filtration system.

[0069] See Figure 1 As shown, in some embodiments, the dishwasher includes a door 200.

[0070] The door 200 is rotatably connected to the housing 100 to open or close the cleaning chamber.

[0071] Specifically, the door body 200 includes a door panel 210, which is rotatably connected to the housing 100.

[0072] Figure 2 for Figure 1 A magnified view of a portion of point A in the middle.

[0073] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the door body 200 includes a door liner 220, which is disposed on the side of the door panel 210 facing the housing 100. The door liner 220 and the door panel 210 can be connected by fasteners such as screws.

[0074] The door liner 220 is provided with a protrusion 221 that matches the inner wall of the cleaning chamber. When the door 200 closes the cleaning chamber, the periphery of the protrusion 221 fits against the inner wall of the cleaning chamber. Specifically, the protrusion 221 is fitted against the inner wall of the inner liner on all four sides.

[0075] It should be noted that when the door 200 is open, the bottom of the protrusion 221 engages with the stop structure to limit the travel of the lower shelf 300. The bottom of the protrusion 221 is the position where the protrusion 221 is at the bottom along the height direction of the box 100 when the door 200 is closed.

[0076] In some embodiments, the dishwasher includes an upper shelf. The upper shelf is used to hold tableware.

[0077] The upper shelf is movably connected to the housing 100. The upper shelf is close to the top of the cleaning chamber and moves relative to the housing 100 along the depth direction of the housing 100 to enter and exit the cleaning chamber.

[0078] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the first state of the lower shelf and stop structure in the dishwasher provided in this application embodiment. Figure 4 for Figure 3A magnified view of a section at point B. Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the second state of the lower shelf and stop structure in the dishwasher provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 6 for Figure 5 A magnified view of a section at point C.

[0079] See Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the dishwasher includes a lower shelf 300. The lower shelf 300 is used to hold tableware.

[0080] The lower shelf 300 is movably connected to the housing 100, and is located near the bottom of the cleaning chamber. The lower shelf 300 moves relative to the housing 100 along its depth direction to enter and exit the cleaning chamber. The depth direction of the housing 100 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the Y-axis.

[0081] In some embodiments, the lower shelf 300 is located below the upper shelf.

[0082] In some embodiments, the dishwasher includes a spray arm for communication with a water supply system to spray liquid onto the lower shelf 300. The spray arm may be located below the lower shelf.

[0083] See Figures 3 to 6 As shown, in some embodiments, a dishwasher stop structure 400 is included. When the dishwasher is installed independently, the stop structure 400 is used to limit the travel of the lower shelf 300. The stop structure 400 is connected to the lower shelf 300.

[0084] In some embodiments, the stop structure 400 is located at the bottom of the lower shelf 300.

[0085] When the door 200 closes the cleaning chamber, the stop structure 400 is located on the side of the lower shelf 300 away from the door 200. In this way, when the stop structure 400 abuts against the bottom of the protrusion 221 of the door 200, that is, when the lower shelf 300 moves to the limit position, the portion of the lower shelf 300 outside the cabinet 100 is larger, making it easier for the user to take out the tableware.

[0086] In some embodiments, the lower shelf 300 includes a shelf body 310. The shelf body 310 is used to hold tableware.

[0087] In some embodiments, the lower shelf 300 includes two sets of rollers 320. The sets of rollers 320 are used to connect to the shelf body 310 and are tactilely connected to the housing 100. The sets of rollers 320 can reduce the friction between the lower shelf 300 and the housing 100, making it easier for the user to move the lower shelf 300.

[0088] The two roller assemblies 320 are located on opposite sides of the shelf body 310 along the width direction of the housing 100. The width direction of the housing 100 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the X-axis.

[0089] The roller assembly 320 includes at least two roller structures 321 spaced apart along the depth direction of the housing 100. The depth direction of the housing 100 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the Y-axis.

[0090] In some embodiments, the number of roller structures 321 in a roller assembly 320 can be two, three, or four, etc.

[0091] In some embodiments, the roller structure 321 includes a fixed body 3211 and a rolling body 3212. The fixed body 3211 is connected to the shelf body 310, the rolling body 3212 is tactilely connected to the fixed body 3211, and the rolling body 3212 is tactilely connected to the box body 100.

[0092] Specifically, the rolling element 3212 is a roller.

[0093] The two roller assemblies 320 include a first roller assembly and a second roller assembly. There are two stop structures 400. One stop structure 400's connector 410 is connected to the fixing body 3211 of the roller structure 321 in the first roller assembly, on the side furthest from the door 200. The other stop structure 400's connector 410 is connected to the fixing body 3211 of the roller structure 321 in the second roller assembly, on the side furthest from the door 200. Thus, when the moving part 420 abuts against the bottom of the protrusion 221 of the door 200, that is, when the lower shelf 300 moves to its limit position, the portion of the lower shelf 300 outside the cabinet 100 is larger, making it easier for the user to retrieve tableware.

[0094] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the first state of the dishwasher stop structure provided in the embodiments of this application. Figure 8 This is a schematic diagram of the second state of the dishwasher stop structure provided in the embodiments of this application.

[0095] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the stop structure 400 includes a connector 410. The connector 410 is used to connect the movable member and the lower shelf 300.

[0096] The connector 410 is connected to the lower shelf 300.

[0097] In some embodiments, the stop structure 400 includes a movable member 420. When the dishwasher is installed freestanding, the movable member 420 abuts against the bottom of the protrusion 221 of the door body 200 to achieve the function of limiting the movement.

[0098] The movable component 420 is movably connected to the connecting component 410. The movable component 420 moves relative to the connecting component 410 to change the distance between the bottom of the movable component 420 and the bottom of the connecting component 410 along the height direction of the cabinet 100. When the dishwasher is installed freestanding, the movable component 420 abuts against the door 200 to achieve a limiting function. When the dishwasher is installed in a built-in configuration, there is a gap between the bottom of the movable component 420 and the door 200. Specifically, there is a gap between the bottom of the movable component 420 and the protrusion 221 of the door 200, and the bottom of the movable component 420 is located above the protrusion 221 of the door 200. The movable component 420 cannot play a limiting role, thus allowing the lower shelf 300 to be continuously pulled.

[0099] The dishwasher provided in this embodiment includes a cabinet 100, a door 200, a lower shelf 300, and a stop structure 400. The cabinet 100 has a cleaning chamber. The door 200 is rotatably connected to the cabinet 100 to open or close the cleaning chamber. The lower shelf 300 is movably connected to the cabinet 100, located near the bottom of the cleaning chamber, and moves relative to the cabinet 100 along its depth direction to enter and exit the cleaning chamber. The stop structure 400 includes a connector 410 and a moving member 420. The connector 410 is connected to the lower shelf 300, and the moving member 420 is movably connected to the connector 410. The moving member 420 moves relative to the connector 410 to change the distance between the bottom of the moving member 420 and the bottom of the connector 410 along the height direction of the cabinet 100. When the dishwasher is installed freestanding, adjusting the movable component 420 lowers its bottom position, allowing it to act as a limit stop. This allows the lower shelf 300 to be pulled outwards until it abuts against the door 200, reaching its preset limit position. When the dishwasher is installed built-in, adjusting the movable component 420 raises its bottom position. When pulling the lower shelf 300 outwards, the gap between the movable component 420 and the door 200 prevents it from acting as a limit stop, allowing the lower shelf 300 to be pulled continuously. This makes it easier for users to retrieve dishes, improving the user experience.

[0100] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the movable member 420 is rotatably connected to the connecting member 410.

[0101] Understandably, compared to a sliding connection between the moving part 420 and the connecting part 410, a rotatable connection between the moving part 420 and the connecting part 410 results in a smaller space occupied by the stop structure 400 along the height direction of the housing 100. The height direction is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the Z-axis.

[0102] In some embodiments, one end of the movable member 420 is rotatably connected to the connector 410.

[0103] When the dishwasher is installed freestanding, the movable part 420 rotates downward relative to the connecting part 410 so that the other end of the movable part 420 is below the bottom surface of the connecting part 410. In this way, when the dishwasher is installed freestanding, the movable part 420 can abut against the bottom of the protrusion 221 of the door body 200 to limit the extreme position of the lower shelf 300.

[0104] When the dishwasher is installed as a built-in unit, the movable component 420 rotates upward relative to the connecting component 410 so that the other end of the movable component 420 is above the bottom surface of the connecting component 410. In this way, when the dishwasher is installed as a built-in unit, the movable component 420 does not need to act as a limiter, and the movable component 420 does not easily restrict the movement of the lower shelf 300, allowing the user to continuously pull the lower shelf 300 outward.

[0105] Figure 9 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the connector in the dishwasher provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 10 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the moving part in the dishwasher provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0106] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, one end of the movable member 420 is provided with a rotating shaft 421.

[0107] The axial direction of the rotating shaft 421 is aligned with the depth direction of the housing 100. Figure 1 The direction indicated by the Y-axis.

[0108] The connector 410 has a rotating hole 411 at its lower part and an opening 412 at its lower part. The opening 412 is located on one side of the rotating hole 411, and the extension direction of the opening 412 is consistent with the axial direction of the rotating hole 411.

[0109] Specifically, the axial direction of the rotating hole 411 is aligned with the depth direction of the housing 100. The depth direction of the housing 100 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the Y-axis. Opening 412 is located on one side of the rotating hole 411 along the width direction of the housing 100. The width direction of the housing 100 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the X-axis.

[0110] During installation, the rotating shaft 421 is positioned within the rotating hole 411 through the opening 412, with the axial direction of the rotating shaft 421 aligned with the axial direction of the rotating hole 411. This facilitates the installation of the moving part 420 and the connecting part 410, improving installation efficiency.

[0111] In some embodiments, the connector 410 includes a connector body 413 and at least one connector end 414. The connector end 414 is disposed at the bottom of the connector body 413 and has a pivot hole 411. The connector end 414 has an opening 412.

[0112] The number of connection terminals 414 can be one, two, or three, etc.

[0113] In some embodiments, in order to improve the reliability of the connection, the number of connection ends 414 is three, and the three connection ends 414 are spaced apart along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 421.

[0114] In some embodiments, the movable member 420 includes a movable body 422 and a rotating shaft 421, the rotating shaft 421 being disposed at one end of the movable body 422. Along the axial direction of the rotating shaft 421, both ends of the rotating shaft 421 extend to the outside of the movable body 422.

[0115] In some embodiments, the mobile body 422 is provided with a clearance portion 423 that avoids the connection end 414.

[0116] In some embodiments, the connector 410 is integrally formed with the fixing body 3211 of the roller structure 321. For example, it can be integrally formed by injection molding. Alternatively, it can be formed by welding.

[0117] See Figure 9 and Figure 10 As shown, in some embodiments, the stop structure 400 includes a first fixing part 430.

[0118] The first fixed part 430 is connected to the movable part 420.

[0119] In some embodiments, the stop structure 400 includes a second fixing portion 440.

[0120] The second fixing part 440 is connected to the connector 410.

[0121] When the door 200 opens the cleaning chamber and there is a gap between the bottom of the movable part 420 and the door 200 along the height direction of the box 100, the first fixing part 430 and the second fixing part 440 are detachably connected to fix the position of the movable part 420.

[0122] Understandably, when the dishwasher is installed as a built-in unit, the first fixing part 430 is connected to the second fixing part 440, thereby fixing the position of the moving part 420 and making it difficult for the moving part 420 to move to the limit state. When the dishwasher is installed as a freestanding unit, the first fixing part 430 is disconnected from the second fixing part 440, allowing the moving part 420 to move to the limit state.

[0123] In some embodiments, the first fixing part 430 includes a snap fastener, and the second fixing part 440 is located at the end of the connector 410, with the snap fastener engaging with the second fixing part 440.

[0124] The second fixing part may be flat. Alternatively, the second fixing part may include a slot that matches the buckle.

[0125] This makes adjusting the status of the movable component 420 more convenient and helps improve the user experience.

[0126] In some embodiments, the latch includes a first latching portion 431 and a second latching portion 432. One end of the first latching portion 431 is connected to the movable body 422, and the other end of the first latching portion 431 is connected to the second latching portion 432. The extending direction of the first latching portion 431 and the extending direction of the second latching portion 432 form an angle.

[0127] In some embodiments, the first fixing part 430 includes a first connecting hole, and the second fixing part 440 includes a second connecting hole that matches the first connecting hole. Fasteners such as screws are inserted into the first connecting hole and the second connecting hole to connect the first fixing part 430 and the second fixing part 440, and to connect the moving part 420 and the connecting part 410.

[0128] In some embodiments, the first fixing part 430 is integrally disposed with the moving part 420. The second fixing part 440 is integrally disposed with the connecting part 410.

[0129] See Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown below, the process of using a dishwasher is explained:

[0130] When the user installs the dishwasher independently, the movable part 420 rotates downward relative to the connecting part 410, and the first fixing part 430 and the second fixing part 440 disengage, so that the other end of the movable part 420 is located below the bottom surface of the connecting part 410. When the user pulls the lower shelf 300 outward, the movable part 420 can abut against the bottom of the protrusion 221 of the door body 200 to limit the extreme position of the lower shelf 300.

[0131] When the user installs the dishwasher as a built-in unit, the movable part 420 rotates upward relative to the connecting part 410, and the first fixing part 430 engages with the second fixing part 440, so that the other end of the movable part 420 is above the bottom surface of the connecting part 410. When the first fixing part 430 and the second fixing part 440 disengage, the movable part 420 no longer acts as a limiter, and it does not easily restrict the movement of the lower shelf 300, allowing the user to continuously pull the lower shelf 300 outwards.

[0132] In some embodiments, the movable member is slidably connected to the connecting member. The movable member slides relative to the connecting member along the height direction of the housing 100.

[0133] Understandably, compared to a rotatable connection between the moving part and the connecting part, a sliding connection between the moving part and the connecting part results in a smaller space occupied by the stop structure along the width direction of the housing 100. The width direction is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the X-axis.

[0134] Specifically, one side of the connector is provided with a sliding groove that matches the moving part. The moving part is inserted into the sliding groove, and the extension direction of the sliding groove is consistent with the height direction of the housing 100. The height direction of the housing 100 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the Z-axis.

[0135] In some embodiments, one of the first fixing part 430 and the second fixing part 440 includes an elastic protrusion, and the other includes a positioning hole that matches the elastic protrusion, with the elastic protrusion engaging within the positioning hole. This allows the position of the connector to be fixed.

[0136] In some embodiments, the connector is provided with a resilient protrusion. The movable member is provided with a positioning hole.

[0137] The number of positioning holes can be two, including a first positioning hole and a second positioning hole. The first and second positioning holes are spaced apart along the height direction of the housing 100. The height direction of the housing 100 is... Figure 1 The direction indicated by the Z-axis.

[0138] In some embodiments, the movable member and the connecting member are slidably connected. The elastic protrusion includes an elastic element and a ball. One end of the elastic element is connected to the connecting member, and the other end of the elastic element is connected to the ball. By pressing the ball, the ball can compress the elastic element, causing the ball to move towards the compression element and disengage from the positioning hole, thereby allowing the movable member to slide relative to the connecting member. After the external force is removed, the ball moves towards the positioning hole under the elastic action of the elastic element, embedding itself in the positioning hole and thus fixing the position of the connecting member.

[0139] The sphere can be a steel ball. The elastic element can be a spring.
