Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of household appliance technology, specifically to an integrated cleaning device. Background Technology

[0002] Many dishwashers currently use a tapping method to open the door. These machines typically require customers to tap the door once or twice with their knuckles. The main principle behind this tapping method is to use an accelerometer to detect vibrations and automatically open the dishwasher door.

[0003] For example, the Chinese utility model patent disclosed in patent application number CN202321941890.7 (publication number CN220675946U), entitled "A Dishwasher with Automatic Door Opening by Knocking," includes a machine body, a door opening mechanism, and a door. The door is located on the front side of the machine body. The door opening mechanism is used to open the door. The door opening mechanism includes a push-out module and a knocking module. The push-out module is installed at the top of the machine body and has a push rod facing the door. The knocking module is installed on the front side of the door. When the knocking module is triggered, the push-out module pushes open the door. This dishwasher has a knocking module that can sense the vibration generated by knocking, thereby determining that the user needs to open the door. At this time, the push-out module pushes open the door, thus realizing the function of opening the door by knocking. Using this method to open the door, the user can use the shaft, palm, back of hand, or other parts to knock on the door to open it.

[0004] However, current dishwashers are usually integrated with the sink in the cabinet. When users chop or pound vigorously on the countertop or sink, or when items fall from the countertop into the sink, vibrations are generated. When the accelerometer detects the vibration, there is a high chance that the dishwasher will open the door accidentally, causing inconvenience to the user, and in severe cases, it may cause leg injuries to the user. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an integrated cleaning device that prevents the dishwasher door from being accidentally opened due to knocking, in light of the current state of the technology.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an integrated cleaning device, including a cabinet and a dishwasher, wherein the cabinet includes a panel located above the dishwasher and a side panel located next to the dishwasher, characterized in that a vibration damping component is provided between the dishwasher and at least one of the side panels, the vibration damping component includes a connecting rod connecting the side panel and the dishwasher, the connecting rod extending in a horizontal direction, a plate extending radially thereon and located in the side panel, the connecting rod also having a first movable block movable along its length, the first movable block being located on the side of the plate closer to the dishwasher, and a first elastic member being provided between the plate and the first movable block to keep them tending to move closer to each other.

[0007] To further reduce the probability of vibration being transmitted to the dishwasher, the connecting rod is also provided with a second movable block that can move along its length. The second movable block is located between the first movable block and the dishwasher, and a second elastic element is provided between the second movable block and the first movable block to keep them tending to move closer to each other. In this way, vibration will also be absorbed by the second elastic element.

[0008] In order to guide the movement trajectory of the first moving block and the second moving block, the connecting rod is provided with a groove along its length, and both the first moving block and the second moving block are provided with a sliding block that can slide along the groove.

[0009] To connect the side panel and the dishwasher via a connecting rod, and to ensure that the first and second elastic elements can effectively absorb vibrations, the side panel is provided with mounting holes. The dishwasher includes a front-opening cabinet and a movable door located at the opening of the cabinet. The cabinet includes an inner liner and an outer shell located outside the inner liner. One end of the connecting rod and the plate are both located in the mounting holes, and the other end of the connecting rod passes through the outer shell and the inner liner. The second end of the connecting rod is provided with a positioning plate extending radially therefrom. The positioning plate can abut against the inner wall surface of the inner liner. The connecting rod is also provided with a limiting element to prevent the plate from passing through the perforation on the outer shell.

[0010] Preferably, the first elastic element is a spring sheet that arches away from the connecting rod, with one end connected to the plate and the other end connected to the first moving block. Multiple spring sheets are spaced apart circumferentially along the plate. Each spring sheet can be interference-fitted with a perforation on the outer shell, and thus serves as the limiting element. In this way, the first elastic element not only absorbs vibration but also limits movement, preventing the plate from passing through the outer shell. Otherwise, the connecting rod would be effectively disconnected from the side plate, unable to absorb vibrations transmitted through it.

[0011] To facilitate the connection of the connecting rod between the side panel and the dishwasher, the connecting rod comprises two rods extending horizontally, with their second ends detachably connected. One rod has a plate formed at its first end, and the other plate has a limiting plate formed at its first end. The rod with the plate is installed in the mounting hole. A through-hole in the outer casing allows the first and second moving blocks to pass through, but the first elastic element cannot. Then, the dishwasher door is opened, and the other rod passes sequentially through the inner tub and the outer casing to connect with the first rod.

[0012] To facilitate the detachable connection of the two rods, one rod is provided with a threaded post, and the other rod is provided with a threaded hole for the threaded post to be inserted and threadedly engaged.

[0013] To guide the movement of the first and second moving blocks, the connecting rod is provided with a groove along its length. Both the first and second moving blocks are provided with sliding blocks that can slide along the groove. The groove includes a first groove and a second groove respectively located on the two rods. One rod has a slot, and the other rod has a protrusion that can be detachably engaged in the slot. When the threaded post is threaded into the threaded hole, the protrusion is engaged in the slot, and the first and second grooves are on the same straight line. The purpose of designing the protrusion and slot is to provide a noticeable tactile feedback when the two rods are about to be screwed together, ensuring that the first and second grooves are aligned.

[0014] In the above solution, the cabinet panel has a mounting opening for installing a sink, which is located above the dishwasher.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting a vibration damping component between the side panel of the cabinet and the dishwasher, the vibration generated by the user chopping or cutting on the cabinet, or other vibrations transmitted to the cabinet, will be absorbed by the first elastic element. If the vibration is relatively large, the first moving block will be slightly displaced under the action of the first elastic element to absorb the vibration and prevent it from being transmitted to the dishwasher, thereby solving the problem of the dishwasher door being opened accidentally due to knocking.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the integrated cleaning device of this preferred embodiment includes a cabinet 1 and a dishwasher 2. The cabinet 1 includes a panel 11 located above the dishwasher 2 and a side panel 12 located next to the dishwasher 2. The panel 11 of the cabinet 1 has a mounting opening 13 for mounting a sink 4. The sink 4 is located above the dishwasher 2. A vibration damping component 3 is provided between the dishwasher 2 and at least one of the side panels 12.

[0028] The vibration damping assembly 3 includes a connecting rod 31 connecting the side plate 12 and the dishwasher 2. The connecting rod 31 extends horizontally, and in this embodiment, the connecting rod 31 extends left and right.

[0029] The connecting rod 31 is provided with a plate 32 extending radially therein and located in the side plate 12. The connecting rod 31 is also provided with a first moving block 33 and a second moving block 34 that can move along its length. Both the first moving block 33 and the second moving block 34 extend radially along the connecting rod 31. The first moving block 33 is located on the side of the plate 32 closer to the dishwasher 2. A first elastic member 35 is provided between the plate 32 and the first moving block 33 to keep them tending to move closer to each other. The second moving block 34 is located between the first moving block 33 and the dishwasher 2. A second elastic member 36 is provided between the second moving block 34 and the first moving block 33 to keep them tending to move closer to each other.

[0030] In this embodiment, there are multiple second elastic elements 36 arranged at intervals along the circumference of the second moving block 34. Each second elastic element 36 is a spring, and its two ends are respectively connected to the second moving block 34 and the first moving block 33.

[0031] The side panel 12 is provided with mounting holes 14. The dishwasher 2 includes a front open cabinet 21 and a movable door 22 located at the opening of the cabinet 21. The cabinet 21 includes an inner liner 211 and an outer shell 212 located outside the inner liner 211. One end of the connecting rod 31 and the plate 32 are both located in the mounting holes 14. The second end of the connecting rod 31 passes through the outer shell 212 and the inner liner 211. The second end of the connecting rod 31 is provided with a positioning plate 37 extending radially therefrom. The positioning plate 37 can abut against the inner wall surface of the inner liner 211.

[0032] To facilitate the connection of the connecting rod 31 between the side panel 12 and the dishwasher 2, the connecting rod 31 includes two rods 311 extending horizontally. One rod 311 has a plate 32 formed at its first end, and the other plate 32 has a positioning plate 37 formed at its first end. The second ends of the two rods 311 are threaded together for detachable connection. One rod 311 has a threaded post 312, and the other rod 311 has a threaded hole 313 for the threaded post 312 to be inserted and threadedly engaged.

[0033] The connecting rod 31 is also provided with a limiting member to prevent the plate 32 from passing through the through hole 213 of the outer shell 212. In this embodiment, the first elastic member 35 is a spring piece that arches away from the connecting rod 31. One end is connected to the plate 32, and the other end is connected to the first moving block 33. There are multiple spring pieces, which are spaced apart along the circumference of the plate 32. The spring pieces can be interference-fitted with the through hole 213, and the spring pieces are the limiting members. In this way, the first elastic member 35 can not only absorb vibration, but also limit the plate 32 to prevent it from passing through the outer shell 212. Otherwise, the connecting rod 31 would be equivalent to being out of contact with the side plate 12 and unable to absorb the vibration transmitted on the side plate 12.

[0034] During assembly, the rod 311 with plate 32 is installed in the mounting hole 14. The through hole 213 on the outer shell 212 allows the first moving block 33 and the second moving block 34 to pass through, but the first elastic member 35 cannot pass through. Then, the door 22 of the dishwasher 2 is opened, and another rod 311 is passed through the inner liner 211 and the outer shell 212 in sequence to connect with the first rod 311.

[0035] In order to guide the movement trajectory of the first moving block 33 and the second moving block 34, the connecting rod 31 is provided with a groove 38 along its length direction, and the first moving block 33 and the second moving block 34 are each provided with a sliding block 331 that can slide along the groove 38.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the slide 38 includes a first groove 381 and a second groove 382, ​​wherein the first groove 381 is provided on one rod 311 and the second groove 382 is provided on the other rod 311. When the threaded post 312 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 313, the first groove 381 and the second groove 382 are located on the same straight line.

[0037] In this embodiment, a vibration damping component 3 is installed between the side panel 12 of the cabinet 1 and the dishwasher 2. When the user performs chopping or cutting actions on the cabinet 1, or when an item falls from the countertop into the sink, the resulting vibration is absorbed by the first elastic element 35. If the vibration is relatively large, the first moving block 33 will undergo a slight displacement under the action of the first elastic element 35 to absorb the vibration and prevent it from being transmitted to the dishwasher 2, thus solving the problem of the dishwasher 2 being accidentally opened due to knocking. If the vibration is even greater, it will be further absorbed by the second elastic element 36, and both moving blocks will be displaced. In summary, the vibration damping component 3 in this embodiment has a good vibration damping effect and can effectively prevent the accidental opening of the door caused by vibration.

[0038] Multiple sets of vibration damping components 3 can be set to improve the vibration damping effect.

[0039] Example 2

[0040] like Figure 6 , 7As shown, compared to Embodiment 1, this embodiment further includes a slot 314 on one rod 311 and a protrusion 315 on the other rod 311 that can be detachably engaged in the slot 314. When the threaded post 312 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole 313, the protrusion 315 is engaged in the slot 314, and the first groove 381 and the second groove 382 are on the same straight line. The purpose of designing the protrusion 315 and the slot 314 is to provide a noticeable tactile feedback when the two rods 311 are about to be screwed together, ensuring that the first groove 381 and the second groove 382 are on a straight line.
