All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of the claimed invention.

[0031] Example 1:

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a door handle structure, which is installed on the door body and includes a door handle 1 and a control panel 2. The door handle 1 includes a base 3 and a gripping part 4 disposed at the front end of the base 3. It also includes a fixing component 5 and a limiting component 6. The base 3 is installed on the control panel 2 by the fixing component 5 to limit the vertical direction of the base 3. The base 3 is connected to the control panel 2 by the limiting component 6 to limit the front-back direction of the base 3.

[0033] In this embodiment, the door handle 1 includes a base 3 and a grip portion 4 disposed at the front end of the base 3, so that the operator can operate the door handle 1 by gripping the grip portion 4. The base 3 is mounted on the control panel 2 by a fixing component 5 to limit the vertical direction of the base 3. The base 3 is connected to the control panel 2 by a limiting component 6 to limit the front-back direction of the base 3, thereby assembling the door handle 1 and the control panel 2 together, so that the door handle 1 achieves a hidden handle structure. Its structure is simple, and it can also reflect the diversity of handle shapes and bring more visual impact to consumers, thereby making the product appearance more diversified.

[0034] In this embodiment, the door handle structure is preferably applied to a dishwasher, but is not limited to dishwashers; it can also be applied to other built-in home appliances according to actual needs. More preferably, the door handle 1 is made of metal, so that the metal door handle 1 meets consumers' demand for the metallic texture, while showcasing the diversity of the whole product, increasing product diversification, and giving consumers more visual impact and choices.

[0035] Furthermore, the fixing component 5 includes a groove 51 and a boss 52, wherein the groove 51 is formed at the top position of the control panel 2, and the boss 52 is disposed on the bottom wall of the base 3, and the boss 52 is engaged with the groove 51.

[0036] Preferably, the fixing component 5 further includes a first screw, a through hole 511 is provided in the groove 51 along the vertical direction, and a fixing hole 521 is provided in the boss 52 along the vertical direction. The first screw passes through the through hole 511 and is engaged with the fixing hole 521. Its structure is simple and can effectively improve the tightness of the installation between the door handle 1 and the control panel 2.

[0037] In this embodiment, a groove 51 with an open top is provided at the top of the control panel 2, and a boss 52 protrudes from top to bottom on the bottom wall of the base 3. A fixing hole 521 is provided on the boss 52 with the open end of the fixing hole 521 facing downward. A through hole 511 is provided in the groove 51 along the vertical direction. When the base 3 moves from top to bottom, the boss 52 is inserted into the groove 51, and then the first screw passes through the through hole 511 and engages with the fixing hole 521, thereby installing the base 3 on the control panel 2, and thus limiting the vertical direction of the door handle 1 base 3.

[0038] Specifically, the limiting component 6 includes a limiting seat 61, which extends downward and is disposed on the base 3 at the end away from the grip portion 4. When the door handle 1 is connected to the control panel 2, the front wall of the limiting seat 61 abuts against the top position at the rear end of the control panel 2.

[0039] Preferably, the limiting component 6 further includes a mounting post 62 and a second screw, wherein a through hole 611 is provided on the limiting seat 61, the mounting post 62 is located at the top of the rear end of the control panel 2, and the second screw passes through the through hole 611 and is connected to the mounting post 62. Its structure is simple and can further improve the tightness of the installation between the door handle 1 and the control panel 2.

[0040] Furthermore, the limiting seat 61 has an inverted L-shaped structure, and the top of the limiting seat 61 bends backward and extends and is fixed to the base 3.

[0041] Specifically, the limiting seat 61 has a stepped portion 612 protruding at the rear end near one end of the base 3, and the stepped portion 612 is pressed against the inner door of the door body.

[0042] In this embodiment, an L-shaped limiting seat 61 is provided on the bottom wall of the base 3 at the end away from the grip part 4. At the same time, a mounting post 62 is provided from front to back at the top position of the rear end wall of the control panel 2. A through hole 611 is provided on the limiting seat 61. When the door handle 1 is connected to the control panel 2, the front wall surface of the limiting seat 61 abuts against the rear end wall of the control panel 2. Then, the second screw passes through the through hole 611 and is connected to the mounting post 62, thereby further improving the stability of the installation between the base 3 and the control panel 2, and thus limiting the front-back direction of the door handle 1 base 3.

[0043] In this embodiment, the limiting seat 61 has a stepped portion 612 protruding at the rear end near one end of the base 3. Since the limiting seat 61 has an L-shaped structure, that is, the limiting seat 61 has a horizontal plate and a vertical plate, the horizontal plate is attached to the bottom wall of the base 3, one end of the vertical plate is connected to the horizontal plate near the end of the grip 4, and the other end extends from top to bottom. In this way, the horizontal plate of the limiting seat 61 can be connected to the bottom wall of the base 3 at the end away from the grip 4 to form the stepped portion 612. The stepped portion 612 is pressed against the inner door of the door body to strengthen the support of the inner door.

[0044] Example 2:

[0045] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a door body, including a door handle structure as in Embodiment 1 and a third screw. An opening is provided on the inner door of the door body, and a positioning post 21 is provided at the top position of the rear end of the control panel 2. The third screw passes through the opening and is connected to the positioning post 21 to install the door handle structure on the door body.

[0046] Furthermore, a notch 613 with an open lower end is provided on the limiting component 6, and a countersunk head is provided on the inner door of the door body, which is connected to the notch 613.

[0047] In this embodiment, an opening is made on the inner door of the door body, and a positioning post 21 is correspondingly provided at the top position of the rear end of the control panel 2. After the third screw passes through the opening, it is connected with the positioning post 21 so that the door handle structure is installed on the door body. The operator can operate the door handle 1 through the grip part 4 to control the opening and closing movement of the door body, thereby effectively improving the tightness of the installation between the inner door of the door body and the control panel 2.

[0048] In this embodiment, a countersunk head and / or a raised bump are provided on the inner door of the door body. The countersunk head and the notch 613 are connected to each other to avoid the countersunk head and / or raised bump of the dishwasher inner door.

[0049] In this embodiment, the door is preferably applied to a dishwasher, but it is not limited to dishwashers. It can also be applied to other embedded home appliances according to actual needs.

[0050] The above descriptions are merely some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and improvements fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
