Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwashers, and more particularly to a countertop dishwasher. Background Technology

[0002] A dishwasher is a household appliance that automatically cleans dishes, chopsticks, plates, dishes, cutlery, and other tableware. For small apartments or families with only one or two people, countertop dishwashers are the preferred type. Countertop dishwashers are usually placed on a table and have advantages such as small size and ease of movement. However, countertop dishwashers have a smaller washing chamber volume, usually only able to hold one layer of tableware for washing, and the height is limited, requiring more precise placement of tableware.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to make further improvements. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned problems. We provide a countertop dishwasher with an adjustable washing chamber height, which can solve most of the problems related to tableware placement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a countertop dishwasher, which includes a dishwasher body. The dishwasher body has an outer cavity shell and an inner cavity shell. The inner cavity shell has openings at the top and bottom and is located in the outer cavity shell. A door is provided at the upper opening of the inner cavity shell. The outer cavity shell, the inner cavity shell, and the door form a washing chamber. The inner cavity shell can move upward relative to the outer cavity shell to expand the vertical height of the washing chamber.

[0006] In one or more embodiments, the dishwasher body is provided with a lifting mechanism, which is connected to the inner cavity shell and drives the inner cavity shell to move up and down.

[0007] In one or more embodiments, the lifting mechanism is a lifting cylinder, which is fixed to the dishwasher body, and the cylinder shaft of the lifting cylinder is connected to the inner cavity shell.

[0008] In one or more embodiments, the outer shell has a mounting cavity at its corner for accommodating the lifting cylinder, and the top of the mounting cavity has a clearance opening for the cylinder shaft to extend out.

[0009] In one or more embodiments, the bottom of the inner cavity shell is provided with a limiting step that contacts the inner wall of the outer cavity shell.

[0010] In one or more embodiments, the inner wall of the outer cavity shell is provided with a supporting step for docking with the bottom of the inner cavity shell. When the bottom of the inner cavity shell contacts the supporting step, the upper end of the inner cavity shell is flush with the upper end of the outer cavity shell.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are: the vertical height of the washing chamber can be expanded by moving the inner shell upward, which can accommodate some tall or large tableware and cups. Users can adjust the upward movement distance of the inner shell according to the height of the tableware after placement to meet their usage needs. Attached Figure Description

[0016] To enhance understanding of this utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments and accompanying drawings. These embodiments are only used to explain the present utility model and do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0017] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This application provides a countertop dishwasher, which includes a dishwasher body 1. The dishwasher body 1 has an outer cavity shell 2 and an inner cavity shell 3. The inner cavity shell 3 is open at the top and bottom and is located in the outer cavity shell 2. A door 4 is provided at the upper opening of the inner cavity shell 3. The door shell is hinged to the inner cavity shell. The door is opened by a handle on the door. The outer cavity shell 2, the inner cavity shell 3 and the door 4 form a washing chamber. The inner cavity shell 3 can move upward relative to the outer cavity shell 2 to expand the vertical height of the washing chamber. In normal use, there is no need to move the inner cavity shell upward. When the tableware is tall, the height of the washing chamber is expanded by moving the inner cavity shell upward, thereby meeting the needs of tableware placement.

[0018] The dishwasher body 1 is equipped with a lifting mechanism, which is connected to the inner cavity shell 3 and drives the inner cavity shell to move up and down. Driven by the lifting mechanism, the height of the washing chamber can be expanded without manually pulling the inner cavity shell. Specifically, the lifting mechanism is a lifting cylinder 5, which is fixed to the dishwasher body 1. The cylinder shaft 6 of the lifting cylinder is connected to the inner cavity shell 3, and the up and down movement of the inner cavity shell is controlled by the extension and retraction of the cylinder shaft. The lifting mechanism can also be a common linear drive mechanism such as an electric push rod.

[0019] The outer shell 2 has a mounting cavity 7 at its corner to accommodate the lifting cylinder 5. The top of the mounting cavity has a clearance opening for the cylinder shaft 6 to extend. By placing the lifting cylinder at the corner, the impact on the placement of tableware in the washing chamber can be minimized.

[0020] The bottom of the inner cavity shell 3 is provided with a limiting step 8 that contacts the inner wall of the outer cavity shell 2. The limiting step can stabilize the inner cavity shell when it is raised and lowered, prevent the inner cavity shell from shaking, and strengthen the structural tightness between the inner cavity shell and the outer cavity shell.

[0021] The inner wall of the outer cavity shell 2 is provided with a supporting step 9 for docking with the bottom of the inner cavity shell 3. When the bottom of the inner cavity shell 3 contacts the supporting step 9, the upper end of the inner cavity shell 3 is flush with the upper end of the outer cavity shell 2. When the inner cavity shell is not raised for use, the inner cavity shell can be prevented from protruding and affecting the appearance of the dishwasher.

[0022] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. The protection scope of the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All equivalent modifications or changes made by those skilled in the art based on the content disclosed in the present utility model should be included in the protection scope recorded in the claims.
