Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dishwasher technology, specifically to a cleaning machine for cleaning tableware, fruits and vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] The inner tub of a dishwasher can be made of either metal or plastic.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent application CN202022663911.6, entitled "A Standalone and Embedded Compatible Dishwasher Frame and Dishwasher with the Same Installed Thereon," uses a plastic base to form the bottom of the inner tub. Since the bottom of the inner tub, which forms the bottom wall of the washing chamber, needs to be shaped into a flow-guiding structure or other functional form, using plastic parts is relatively convenient for manufacturing. However, due to the influence of the water tension on the plastic parts themselves, the flow-guiding and drying effects of the bottom wall of the washing chamber formed by plastic parts are poor. Chinese patent application CN202220394110.0, entitled "A Dishwasher Inner Tub Assembly," uses a metal material to make the inner tub. To facilitate production and assembly, the upper and lower parts of the inner tub are fixed and sealed with a seam, which is a common production method for this type of metal inner tub. Although this improves the flow-guiding and drying effects at the bottom of the washing chamber, the all-metal inner tub structure has poor strength, and the seam-guiding process requires complex equipment. When the inner tub size changes, the connection between the bottom and middle of the inner tub requires changes in equipment and tooling, resulting in high production investment and costs.

[0004] Therefore, the current structure used in cleaning machines needs further improvement. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning machine with improved adaptability, good sealing performance and easy production and installation, 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:

[0007] A cleaning machine includes an inner tank and a base. The inner tank includes an inner tank body and an inner tank bottom. The inner tank bottom covers the upper surface of the base. The upper edge of the inner tank bottom extends outward to form a support edge. The side wall of the base is higher than the inner tank bottom and is formed with a support platform for the support edge to support it. The lower edge of the inner tank body abuts against the support edge and is integrally connected with the inner tank bottom.

[0008] The inner tank body and bottom can both be made of metal, while the base can be made of plastic. The complex structure of the return water area formed on the plastic base facilitates production. The metal inner tank bottom covers the outside of the return water area and forms the bottom surface of the inner tank, which helps to improve the flow and drying effect. The splicing method between the inner tank body, the inner tank bottom and the base is simple and easy to operate, without the need for welding and riveting equipment. When the inner tank size changes, no additional equipment investment is required. Only the height of the side of the inner tank body needs to be changed accordingly, which improves adaptability and reduces investment and development cycle.

[0009] Preferably, the base has a recessed water return area in its central part, and the bottom of the inner liner has an opening corresponding to the water return area in its central part. The bottom of the inner liner forms a guide surface that gradually decreases from the edge to the opening. This structure, utilizing the bottom of the metal inner liner to form a bottom guide, not only improves the water return effect and prevents water from sticking to the walls, but also enhances the drying effect.

[0010] Preferably, the upper surface of the base forms a mating surface that gradually decreases from the edge towards the return water area, and the lower surface of the bottom of the inner liner fits closely to this mating surface. This structure utilizes the mating surface of the base to support the bottom of the inner liner, improving overall reliability.

[0011] Preferably, the base has an upwardly extending side wall at the outer edge of the support platform, which encloses a mounting cavity between the side wall and the outer surface of the inner liner body. A pressure block is disposed within this mounting cavity and holds the support edge. This pressure block can be secured to the support platform of the base with screws. This structure improves the assembly reliability between the inner liner body, the bottom of the inner liner, and the base, and facilitates operation.

[0012] Preferably, the lower edge of the inner liner body is bent outward to form a U-shaped flange, the lower end of which abuts against the support edge and is arranged corresponding to the inner edge of the support edge. The lower surface of the pressure block has an upwardly extending slot near this side, and the vertical portion of the outer side of the U-shaped flange is clamped in the slot to form an S-shaped seal. This structure helps to improve the sealing performance of the gradual connection between the inner liner body and the inner liner base.

[0013] Preferably, the bottom of the inner liner has a notch at the front corner, where a corner block is provided to press the bottom wall of the inner liner onto the base. The top of the corner block is pressed under the inner liner body, the upper surface of the corner block matches the top edge of the inner liner base, and the inner sidewall of the corner block extends smoothly downwards with its end forming a pressing edge that can be arranged horizontally and pressed against the bottom of the inner liner. Since the structure of the front corner of the inner liner is relatively complex and difficult to form using metal parts, corner blocks are used for assembly here. This facilitates production, and the corner blocks are secured to the base support with screws, with the bottom of the corner blocks pressing against the bottom wall of the inner liner, which also improves the compactness and reliability of the assembly between the bottom wall of the inner liner and the base.

[0014] Preferably, the front end of the corner block is partially missing to form a buffer zone located behind the front sidewall at the bottom of the inner liner. The plastic corner block is easy to shape into various forms, and by using the corner block to form a buffer zone, the water flow can be buffered here, avoiding violent surging and causing a large amount of overflow.

[0015] Preferably, the corner blocks and the upper surface of the bottom of the inner tub have recessed guide rails that allow the dish rack assembly of the dishwasher to slide on. This structure, using the metal inner tub bottom and plastic corner blocks to form the guide rails, not only simplifies the original dishwasher structure but also facilitates manufacturing and provides good support strength.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: The inner liner of this utility model is divided into two parts. The main body and bottom of the inner liner can both be made of metal, while the base is made of plastic. The complex structure of the return water area formed on the plastic base is easy to produce. The metal bottom of the inner liner covers the outside of the return water area and forms the bottom surface of the inner liner, which helps to improve the flow and drying effect. The splicing method between the main body of the inner liner, the bottom of the inner liner, and the base is simple and easy to operate. It does not require welding or riveting equipment. When the size of the inner liner changes, no additional equipment investment is required. Only the height of the side of the main body of the inner liner needs to be changed accordingly. The adaptability is improved, and the investment and development cycle are reduced. Attached Figure Description

[0028] like Figures 1-5 As shown, the cleaning machine of this embodiment includes an inner tank and a base 3. The inner tank includes an inner tank body 1 and an inner tank bottom 2. The inner tank bottom 2 covers the upper surface of the base 3. The upper edge of the inner tank bottom 2 extends outward to form a support edge 21. The side wall of the base 3 is higher than the inner tank bottom 2 and is formed with a support platform 31 for the support edge 21 to support it. The lower edge of the inner tank body 1 abuts against the support edge 21 and is spliced ​​with the inner tank bottom 2 as a whole.

[0029] The inner liner body 1 and the inner liner bottom 2 can both be made of metal, while the base 3 is made of plastic. The complex structure of the return water area 32 formed on the plastic base 3 is easy to produce. The metal inner liner bottom 2 covers the outside of the return water area 32 and forms the bottom surface of the inner liner, which helps to improve the flow and drying effect. The splicing method between the inner liner body 1, the inner liner bottom 2 and the base 3 is simple and easy to operate. It does not require welding equipment or riveting equipment. When the inner liner size changes, no additional equipment investment is required. Only the height of the side of the inner liner body 1 needs to be changed accordingly. The adaptability is improved and the investment and development cycle are reduced.

[0030] The base 3 has a recessed water return area 32 in its central part, and the bottom part of the inner liner 2 has an opening 22 corresponding to the water return area 32 in its central part. The bottom part of the inner liner 2 forms a guide surface 23 that gradually decreases from the edge to the opening 22. With this structure, the bottom of the metal inner liner 2 forms a bottom guide, which not only helps to improve the water return effect and prevent water from sticking to the wall, but also helps to improve the drying effect.

[0031] The upper surface of the base 3 forms a mating surface 33 that gradually decreases from the edge towards the return water area 32, and the lower surface of the inner liner bottom 2 fits closely with this mating surface 33. This structure utilizes the mating surface 33 of the base 3 to support the inner liner bottom 2, improving overall reliability.

[0032] A side baffle 34 extending upwards is provided on the side of the base 3 at the outer edge of the support 31. The side baffle 34 and the outer surface of the inner liner body 1 enclose a mounting cavity 35, in which a pressure block 4 is provided to hold the support edge 21. The pressure block 4 can be secured to the support 31 of the base 3 by screws. This structure improves the assembly reliability between the inner liner body 1, the inner liner bottom 2 and the base 3, and facilitates operation.

[0033] The lower edge of the inner liner body 1 is bent outward to form a U-shaped fold 11. The lower end of the U-shaped fold 11 abuts against the support edge 21 and is arranged corresponding to the inner edge of the support edge 21. A slot 41 extending upward is provided on the lower surface of the pressure block 4 near this side. The vertical portion of the outer side of the U-shaped fold 11 is clamped in the slot 41 to form an S-shaped seal. This structure helps to improve the sealing performance of the gradual connection between the inner liner body 1 and the inner liner base 3.

[0034] A notch 24 is formed at the front corner of the bottom liner 2, and a corner block 5 is provided at the notch 24 to press the bottom wall of the bottom liner 2 onto the base 3. The top of the corner block 5 is pressed under the inner liner body 1, and the upper surface of the corner block 5 matches the top edge of the inner liner base 3. The inner sidewall of the corner block 5 extends smoothly downward and the end forms a pressing edge 51 that can be arranged horizontally and pressed onto the bottom liner 2. Since the structure of the front corner of the inner liner is relatively complex and difficult to form using metal parts, corner blocks 5 are used for assembly here. On the one hand, this facilitates production, and on the other hand, the corner block 5 is constrained to the support platform 31 of the base 3 by screws, and the bottom of the corner block 5 is pressed onto the bottom wall of the bottom liner 2, which can also improve the assembly compactness and reliability between the bottom wall of the inner liner and the base 3.

[0035] The corner block 5 has a partial missing section at its front end, forming a buffer zone 52 located behind the front side wall of the bottom 2 of the inner liner. The plastic corner block 5 is easy to mold into various shapes. By using the corner block 5 to form the buffer zone 52, the water flow can be buffered here, avoiding violent surging and causing a large amount of overflow.

[0036] The corner block 5 and the upper surface of the inner tub bottom 2 have recessed guide rails 100 on which the dish rack assembly of the dishwasher can be slidably mounted. With this structure, the guide rails 100 are formed by the metal inner tub bottom 2 and the plastic corner block 5, which not only simplifies the original dishwasher structure, but also facilitates manufacturing and provides good support strength.

[0037] In this embodiment, the inner liner is divided into two parts. The inner liner body 1 and the inner liner bottom 2 can both be made of metal, while the base 3 is made of plastic. The complex structure of the return water area 32 formed on the plastic base 3 is easy to produce. The metal inner liner bottom 2 covers the outside of the return water area 32 and forms the bottom surface of the inner liner, which helps to improve the flow and drying effect. The splicing method between the inner liner body 1, the inner liner bottom 2 and the base 3 is simple and easy to operate. It does not require welding equipment or riveting equipment. When the size of the inner liner changes, no additional equipment investment is required. Only the height of the side of the inner liner body 1 needs to be changed accordingly. The adaptability is improved, and the investment and development cycle are reduced.

[0038] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
