Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwashers, and in particular to a water tank mounting structure and a dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] In modern dishwasher designs, the water tank typically requires an additional fixing structure, such as an upper rear crossbar, to connect to the left and right side panels and top panel of the dishwasher casing to ensure the tank's stability. This upper rear crossbar occupies space above and behind the inner tank, limiting the tank's volume and thus affecting its water storage capacity. Furthermore, the need for an additional upper rear crossbar to connect the water tank to the dishwasher casing increases structural complexity and makes installation and maintenance more difficult. Utility Model Content

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a water tank installation structure and a dishwasher to address the problem that existing dishwasher water tanks generally require additional fixed structures for connection, which occupies the assembly space of the water tank, limits the volume of the water tank, and thus affects the water storage capacity.

[0004] A water tank mounting structure includes: a support base; an inner liner assembly disposed on the support base; a second housing disposed on the support base; a first housing disposed on the second housing; the second housing and the first housing respectively located on adjacent sides of the inner liner assembly; a water tank assembly disposed on the inner liner assembly; the water tank assembly abutting against the first housing and / or the second housing; and / or, the water tank assembly being connected to the first housing and / or the second housing.

[0005] The first aspect of this application discloses a water tank installation structure. By directly connecting the water tank assembly to the first and / or second housing, compared with conventional solutions, this solution eliminates fixed structures such as the upper rear crossbar, freeing up space above and behind the inner tank assembly. This allows the water tank assembly to be designed to be larger, significantly increasing water storage capacity and improving equipment operating efficiency. This design reduces the number of parts and lowers structural complexity, making installation and maintenance more convenient and faster, thus resulting in better economic benefits. Furthermore, the direct connection of the water tank assembly to the first and / or second housing ensures the stability of the water tank assembly. This direct connection method results in tighter contact between the water tank assembly and the first and second housings, reducing the possibility of vibration and displacement of the water tank assembly and improving the overall structural stability.

[0006] In one embodiment, the second housing has a first mounting hole, the water tank assembly has a second mounting hole, and a first connector is also included. The first connector is disposed on the second housing and passes through the first mounting hole, engaging with the second mounting hole after passing through the first mounting hole. By having the first connector pass through the first mounting hole of the second housing and engage with the second mounting hole of the water tank assembly, the stability of the water tank assembly can be ensured without additional fixing structures, effectively simplifying the installation process. This design makes the product manufacturing process more efficient and improves economic benefits.

[0007] In one embodiment, the second housing is located on the side of the first housing. This placement of the second housing on the side of the first housing allows for better contact or connection between the first and second housings with the water tank assembly, significantly optimizing space utilization and improving the stability and reliability of the water tank assembly.

[0008] In one embodiment, a third housing is further included, which is disposed on the first housing and located on the side of the first housing. The third housing abuts against and / or is connected to the water tank assembly. By providing the third housing on the side of the first housing, and preferably on the top of the first housing, the first housing, the second housing, and the third housing can restrict the degrees of freedom of the water tank assembly from different directions, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the water tank assembly.

[0009] In one embodiment, the third housing has a third mounting hole, the water tank assembly has a fourth mounting hole, and a second connector is also included. The second connector is disposed on the third housing and passes through the third mounting hole, engaging with the fourth mounting hole after passing through the third mounting hole. By having the second connector pass through the third mounting hole of the third housing and engage with the fourth mounting hole of the water tank assembly, the stability of the water tank assembly can be ensured without additional fixing structures, effectively simplifying the installation process. This design ensures the stability of the water tank assembly while allowing it to store more liquid.

[0010] In one embodiment, the third housing and one of the water tank assemblies are provided with a first buckle, and the third housing and the other of the water tank assemblies are provided with a first latch, the first latch being compatible with the first buckle. By engaging the first buckle and the first latch, the connection between the third housing and the water tank assembly can be completed without additional bolts, screws, or other connecting parts, making installation simple and convenient. Furthermore, the water tank assembly exhibits good stability and robustness.

[0011] In one embodiment, the first housing, the second housing, and the third housing face different sides of the water tank assembly. By positioning the first housing, the second housing, and the third housing on the three connected surfaces of the water tank assembly, they can restrict the degrees of freedom of the water tank assembly from different orientations, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the water tank assembly.

[0012] In one embodiment, the second housing and the third housing are respectively located on adjacent sides of the first housing. By positioning the second and third housings on adjacent sides of the first housing, for example, the second housing is located on one side along the length of the third housing and the third housing is located on one side of the top of the first housing, the first housing, the second housing, and the third housing can be fixed to the water tank assembly from different directions, resulting in a good fixing effect.

[0013] In one embodiment, a top shell assembly is further included. The top shell assembly comprises a top shell body and a connecting block. The top shell body is disposed on the first shell and / or the third shell, and the connecting block is disposed on the top shell body for connection with the second shell. By connecting the top shell body to the third shell and the connecting block to the second shell, a stable connection between the top shell body and the second and third shells can be achieved, effectively limiting the degrees of freedom of the top shell assembly and resulting in good stability and reliability. This compact design enhances the stability of the water tank assembly.

[0014] In one embodiment, one of the top shell body and the third shell is provided with a second buckle, and the other of the top shell body and the third shell is provided with a second latch, which can be adapted to the second buckle. By adapting the second buckle to the second latch, the connection between the top shell assembly and the third shell can be completed without additional bolts, screws, or other connecting parts, making the installation simple and convenient. Furthermore, the top shell assembly has good stability and robustness.

[0015] In one embodiment, the connecting block has a fifth mounting hole, the second housing has a first mounting hole, and the water tank assembly has a second mounting hole. It also includes a third connector, which is disposed on the connecting block and passes through the fifth mounting hole. The third connector passes through the fifth mounting hole and the first mounting hole sequentially before engaging with the second mounting hole. By having the third connector pass through the fifth mounting hole and the first mounting hole sequentially before engaging with the second mounting hole, a stable connection is formed between the top housing assembly, the second housing, and the water tank assembly. Stable installation of the water tank assembly can be achieved without additional fixing structures such as a rear crossbar, effectively increasing the stability and reliability of the water tank assembly.

[0016] In one embodiment, the system further includes multiple protrusions, all of which are disposed on the top shell body and abut against the water tank assembly. By having multiple protrusions abut against the water tank assembly, multiple limiting points are formed, further restricting the degrees of freedom of the water tank assembly and improving its stability.

[0017] In one embodiment, the water tank assembly is located between the top shell assembly and the inner liner assembly. By positioning the water tank assembly between the top shell assembly and the inner liner assembly—for example, between the top of the top shell assembly and the inner liner assembly—steam within the inner liner assembly can naturally rise and preheat the liquid within the water tank assembly, effectively utilizing heat.

[0018] In one embodiment, the water tank assembly has a top surface, a first side surface, and a second side surface, which intersect each other. The first housing abuts against the first side surface, and the second housing abuts against the second side surface. The assembly also includes a third housing disposed on the first housing, which abuts against the top surface. By having the top surface, first side surface, and second side surface of the water tank assembly abut against the third housing, first housing, and second housing, respectively, the water tank assembly fits tightly with the dishwasher's outer shell, resulting in a more compact overall structure, optimized space utilization, and the ability to store more liquid.

[0019] In one embodiment, the water tank assembly is provided with an adapter groove that can mate with the inner liner assembly. The adapter groove on the water tank assembly allows it to mate with the inner liner assembly, enhancing the stability of the fit between the water tank assembly and the inner liner assembly, further restricting the degree of freedom of the water tank assembly, and resulting in good robustness of the water tank assembly.

[0020] In one embodiment, the water tank assembly includes a first shell and a second shell. The first shell is disposed on the inner liner assembly, and the second shell is disposed on the first shell. A first welding rib is formed on the first shell, and a second welding rib is formed on the second shell. The second welding rib is connected to the first welding rib. Welding the first and second welding ribs together ensures a tight fit between the first and second shells, resulting in a simple and convenient fixing method that effectively reduces assembly difficulty and improves practicality.

[0021] A dishwasher includes: the water tank mounting structure described above.

[0022] The second aspect of this embodiment discloses a dishwasher in which the water tank assembly, through a water tank mounting structure, directly engages with the dishwasher's outer casing, such as the first, second, and third casings.
