[0023] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] It should be noted that all directional indications in this utility model embodiment, such as (up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0025] Furthermore, the use of terms such as "first" and "second" in this utility model is for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. Additionally, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but only on the basis of being achievable by those skilled in the art. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, such a combination of technical solutions should be considered non-existent and not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1 to 7 The side-opening dishwasher shown includes a frame 1, a cleaning chamber 2, a frame opening 3, a hinge shaft, a door 4 connected to the hinge shaft and used to cover the frame opening 3, a locking part 5 connected to the door 4, a spray assembly 6 located in the cleaning chamber 2, and a control assembly electrically connected to the spray assembly 6. The door 4 rotates in a vertical direction. The control assembly includes a sensor disposed on one side of the frame 1 and / or one side of the door 4, and a control component electrically connected to the sensor and the spray assembly 6 respectively. When the door 4 is opened, the sensor drives the spray assembly 6 to stop operating through the control component.

[0027] When the sensor of this invention detects the door opening action, it sends a stop signal to the spray assembly through the control component. The spray assembly stops working to reduce liquid spraying and splashing, and the door rotates to the side in the vertical direction to open. Its opening and closing trajectory is easier to control the opening and closing angle compared with the traditional up and down lifting door method, further reducing the risk of residual liquid splashing when the door opens.

[0028] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, the hinge shaft is set on the vertical side, which, together with the sealing structure between the door and the frame opening, makes it easier to achieve uniform compression and sealing compared to top or bottom hinges, reducing moisture leakage. By reducing the risk of moisture seeping into the frame or overflowing to the ground, this utility model can protect electrical components and peripheral equipment, improve the overall waterproof rating and durability of the machine, and improve the working hygiene environment.

[0029] Optionally, in some embodiments, if the spray nozzles are still running when a traditional dishwasher is opened, the operator may instinctively back away or dodge due to the sudden splash of liquid, posing a safety hazard of colliding with surrounding equipment. The side-opening angle of this invention can limit some water from splashing directly onto the outside of the rack opening, and it also ensures a smooth and undisturbed opening process through automatic spray stoppage, thereby improving operational safety.

[0030] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sensing element is not limited to a door magnetic switch, an infrared sensor, a metal detection sensor, etc. The sensing element can accurately detect the door opening action, and thus, during the door opening process, the control element drives the spray assembly to stop spraying.

[0031] Optionally, in some embodiments, the controller is not limited to a PLC or microcontroller. The controller can send a stop signal to the spray assembly, thereby causing the spray pump to stop working and the water inlet valve to close, cutting off the spraying and splashing of cleaning fluid at the source, and preventing high-pressure water or grease from splashing onto the operator's clothes or body due to continuous impact during the door opening process.

[0032] Optionally, in some embodiments, the sensor may be located on the door body, on the frame, or both on the door body and the frame for combined use.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 3 The side-opening dishwasher shown has a locking part 5 located on one side of the frame opening 3, and a door handle 41, a locking tongue 42 connected to the door handle 41, and an elastic member connecting the door handle 41 and the locking tongue 42 on one side of the door body 4.

[0034] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, the locking part is located on one side of the frame opening, and the door is connected and locked to the frame through the cooperation of the door handle and the locking tongue. When the door is closed, the operator moves the locking tongue through the door handle and it cooperates with the locking part on the side of the frame opening to firmly lock the door at the frame opening, thereby ensuring that the washing chamber maintains a good sealing state during the operation of the dishwasher and preventing water and steam in the washing chamber from leaking into the external environment.

[0035] Specifically, when an operator pulls the door handle to open the door, the elastic element is stretched or compressed, storing elastic potential energy. After the door is opened to a certain extent, the elastic element releases this potential energy, assisting the door handle and latch to return to their initial positions, making the door handle's reset smoother and the operation easier. When closing the door, the elastic element also acts as a buffer, preventing collisions between the door handle / latch and the frame. The elastic element absorbs some energy, reducing wear and tear on the components by preventing hard collisions between the latch and the locking mechanism.

[0036] like Figures 1 to 3The side-opening dishwasher shown as above, wherein the locking portion 5 is provided with a connecting portion 51 connected to the frame 1, an abutting portion 52 connected to the connecting portion 51, and a locking groove 53 for the locking tongue 42 to extend into; the locking tongue 42 is provided with a buckling groove 421 that is fittingly connected with the abutting portion 52; the door handle assembly 41 is provided with an accommodating groove 411 for a hand to extend into, and a handle 412 partially located in the accommodating groove 411, and rotation of the handle 412 drives the elastic member to drive the locking tongue 42 to disengage from the abutting portion 52.

[0037] Further, as a preferred rather than limiting embodiment of the present utility model, the locking portion is provided with the connecting portion connected to the frame, ensuring that the entire locking portion is stably installed on the frame. The abutting portion is fittingly connected with the buckling groove on the locking tongue, so that when the door body is closed, the locking tongue can accurately extend into the locking groove, and the buckling groove and the abutting portion are tightly fitted to form a stable locking connection, which can effectively prevent the door body from being accidentally opened during the operation of the dishwasher, ensure the sealing performance and safety of the washing cavity, and avoid leakage or falling of water, steam, tableware and the like from the door body.

[0038] In addition, the door handle assembly is provided with the accommodating groove for a hand to extend into, and part of the handle is located in the accommodating groove, which is convenient for an operator to extend a hand into the accommodating groove and grasp the handle for operation. By rotating the handle, the elastic member drives the locking tongue to disengage from the abutting portion, thereby realizing the rotation and opening of the door body.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 3 The side-opening dishwasher shown as above, wherein there are two connecting portions 51, the abutting portion 52 is located between the two connecting portions 51, the two connecting portions 51 and the abutting portion 52 enclose to form the locking groove 53, the locking portion 5 is arranged in a "匚"-shape, the locking portion 5 protrudes in the direction perpendicular to the opening 3 of the frame, and the abutting portion 52 is arranged along the vertical direction.

[0040] Further, as a preferred rather than limiting embodiment of the present utility model, the two connecting portions are respectively located on both sides of the abutting portion, and enclose the locking groove together with the abutting portion, and the abutting portion forms a position-limiting structure. After the locking tongue of the door body extends into the locking groove, the abutting portion limits the displacement of the locking tongue towards the opening direction, thereby enhancing the fitting tightness between the locking tongue and the locking groove. The entire locking portion is in a "匚"-shape, which has high structural strength and rigidity. Compared with a single-side connection or an open-type locking design, the "匚"-shaped layout can more evenly disperse the acting force on the locking portion when the door body is closed, and avoids deformation or damage caused by local stress concentration such as impact of the locking tongue and the weight of the door body, thereby maintaining the dimensional accuracy and fitting stability of the locking groove for a long time and prolonging the service life of the locking portion.

[0041] Specifically, the abutment is vertically oriented, forming a vertically limiting fit with the locking groove on the latch. When the latch extends into the locking groove, the opening direction of the locking groove aligns with the vertical abutment, allowing the abutment to precisely insert into the locking groove. The vertical limiting effect prevents the latch from dislodging laterally from the locking groove. The vertical constraint is less prone to failure due to lateral vibration than the horizontal constraint, further improving the reliability of the lock.

[0042] In addition, the abutting part is located between the two connecting parts, and the locking part extends vertically towards the opening of the frame. The connecting part and the abutting part of the locking part are concentrated on the movement path when the door is closed, so that the opening direction of the locking groove is coordinated with the opening and closing direction of the door. When the door rotates vertically, the locking tongue enters the locking groove along the predetermined trajectory, without needing to occupy additional horizontal and vertical space of the frame or the door, making its design more compact.

[0043] Optionally, in some embodiments, a locking groove 432 is provided on the inner side of the door body to cooperate with the locking part. The locking groove allows the locking part to extend into it, further reducing the space occupied by the locking part and ensuring the sealing effect of the door body.

[0044] like Figure 2 The side-opening dishwasher shown has a frame 31 around the rack opening 3, a door 4 with a door frame 43 that is connected to the frame frame 31, and a fitting part 44 that is connected to the door frame 43 and extends to one side of the rack opening 3. The fitting part 44 has a fitting part slope 441 around its periphery, and the rack opening 3 has a rack opening slope 32 that is connected to the fitting part slope 441.

[0045] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, when the door is closed, the fitting part of the door extends towards the opening side of the frame. The inclined surface of the fitting part around the fitting part cooperates with the inclined surface of the frame opening, thereby enabling the fitting part to fit more tightly with the frame opening. This effectively reduces the leakage of water, steam, and oil generated during the cleaning process from the gap between the door and the frame into the external environment, thus ensuring the sealing of the cleaning chamber and providing a good cleaning environment for tableware.

[0046] Furthermore, the beveled design guides the closing of the door, allowing for a more even distribution of contact pressure between the mating part and the frame opening. As the door closes, the beveled mating part and the beveled frame opening press against each other, gradually transmitting pressure along the bevels. In the final stage of closing, the beveled fit provides a buffering effect, ensuring that the entire mating surface receives relatively uniform pressure, further enhancing the sealing effect and preventing leaks caused by uneven local pressure. It also reduces the impact force during closing, lowering the risk of damage to the door and frame due to impact, and consequently reducing noise during closing.

[0047] like Figures 1 to 7 The side-opening dishwasher shown has a frame 1 with a first connecting bracket 11 located on one side of the door 4. The sensor is installed on the first connecting bracket 11. When the door 4 is opened, the door 4 is out of the detection range of the sensor, so that the spray assembly 6 stops operating.

[0048] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, when the door is opened, the door is out of the detection range of the sensor, and the spray assembly immediately stops operating, which can effectively prevent the high-pressure water flow, high-temperature steam and cleaning agent in the cleaning chamber from continuing to spray or splash out during the opening process.

[0049] Specifically, the sensor monitors the door status in real time. The sprinkler system will only operate normally when the door is closed and within the sensor's detection range. This avoids the safety risks caused by the sprinkler system being accidentally activated when the door is not fully closed or is accidentally opened, such as water splashing onto surrounding electrical equipment and causing short circuits, thus ensuring the safety of the equipment and operators.

[0050] Furthermore, the sensor is mounted on the first connecting bracket, ensuring a fixed and stable position. This allows for accurate detection of the door's opening and closing status, reducing the likelihood of displacement or damage to the sensor due to vibration, collisions, or other factors during dishwasher operation. Consequently, the possibility of the sensor misjudging the door's state is lowered. When the door opens and moves out of the detection range, a control signal is quickly and accurately triggered, stopping the spray assembly. When the door closes and enters the detection range, the spray assembly reliably resumes normal operation.

[0051] Specifically, the sensor can be an infrared sensor or a metal detection sensor.

[0052] like Figures 1 to 7The side-opening dishwasher shown includes a first sensor located on one side of the door 4 and a second sensor located on one side of the frame 1. When the first sensor detaches from the second sensor, the sensor drives the spray assembly 6 to stop operating through the control unit.

[0053] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, the first and second sensors cooperate with each other to form a dual-cooperation detection mechanism. Only when the first sensor detaches from the second sensor will the command to stop the spray assembly be triggered, thus reducing the probability of misjudgment or malfunction by a single sensor. The first and second sensors are magnetic sensors.

[0054] In addition, the two sensors can detect the opening and closing status of the door from different angles or positions. The installation positions and detection principles of the first and second sensors are complementary, enabling a more comprehensive perception of the door's movement.

[0055] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the first sensor is placed on the upper side of the door, and the second sensor is placed at the position corresponding to the door on the frame. This can reduce the contact between water and the sensor when water splashes downwards. By making full use of the space of the frame, there is no need to add a complicated installation structure or occupy too much space, making the overall structure of the dishwasher more compact and reasonable, which is conducive to the miniaturization design of the dishwasher.

[0056] Of course, in some embodiments, the first sensor is located on the inside of the door, and the second sensor is located on the inside of the frame at a position corresponding to the door.

[0057] like Figures 4 to 7 The side-opening dishwasher shown has a washing chamber 2 equipped with a conveying assembly 7 for conveying tableware, a spraying assembly 6 including a lower spraying member 61 disposed on the lower side of the conveying assembly 7, a spray nozzle 611 disposed on the upper side of the lower spraying member 61, a flexible pressure belt 71 disposed on the upper side of the conveying assembly 7, and a water-passing opening 72 through which water is supplied.

[0058] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation thereof, the conveying component provided in the cleaning chamber can realize the continuous conveying of tableware, so that the tableware can pass through the cleaning area in sequence according to the set process, without the need for manual placement and removal of tableware one by one, thereby improving the automation and efficiency of the cleaning work, and is especially suitable for the cleaning needs of a large number of tableware in industrial scenarios.

[0059] Specifically, the lower spray unit is located below the conveyor assembly and has spray nozzles on its upper side, allowing for spray cleaning of the tableware from below. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the flexible pressure belt on the upper side of the conveyor assembly, the tableware is stably pressed onto the assembly, maintaining a relatively fixed position during transport. This ensures that the spray from the lower spray unit fully contacts all parts of the tableware, achieving comprehensive cleaning and effectively removing stains from the tableware surface.

[0060] In addition, the flexible pressure belt on the upper side of the conveyor assembly not only fixes the tableware in place, but also, due to its flexibility, will not cause scratches or collisions to the tableware, thus providing excellent protection and reducing the damage rate of the tableware during the washing process.

[0061] Furthermore, the flexible pressure belt firmly presses the tableware onto the conveying components, preventing the tableware from shifting, flipping, or falling during the conveying process due to factors such as water flow impact and spray pressure. This ensures the safety and stability of the tableware conveying process and avoids problems such as tableware causing blockage or damage to the spraying components in the cleaning chamber.

[0062] Specifically, the conveying assembly is equipped with a water-passing opening. When the water sprayed by the spray assembly passes through the water-passing opening, it forms a circulating water flow, making the water in the cleaning chamber more evenly distributed and avoiding localized areas of excessive or insufficient water flow, thereby improving the uniformity of the cleaning effect. Simultaneously, the water circulation also enhances water flowability, helping to promptly remove stains and impurities from the surface of the tableware, further improving the cleaning effect. The water circulation formed by the water-passing opening allows for more efficient use of the water in the cleaning chamber, reducing water waste during the cleaning process.

[0063] Specifically, the cleaning chamber 2 is provided with fasteners 722 on all four sides. The fasteners 722 are used to hook the flexible pressure belt. The flexible pressure belt is U-shaped and is set in the cleaning chamber 2. It hangs down near the middle and restricts the tableware from flipping or falling off the conveying component under the spray impact.

[0064] like Figures 4 to 7 The side-opening dishwasher shown includes an upper spray member 62 disposed on the upper side of the conveying assembly 7, and a flexible pressure belt 71 with a flexible pressure belt opening 711 through which water is supplied.

[0065] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, the upper spraying component sprays the tableware from above the conveying assembly, forming a coordinated cleaning mode with the lower spraying component. The all-around spraying method can cover all surfaces of the tableware, including the upper surface, lower surface, and sides, effectively removing stains attached to various parts of the tableware. Although the flexible pressure belt fixes the tableware, it is provided with openings, allowing water to reach the parts of the tableware covered by the pressure belt through these openings. This avoids the problem of some areas of the tableware not being cleaned due to the pressure belt blocking the view, ensuring thorough cleaning without any blind spots.

[0066] Specifically, the upper and lower spray units work simultaneously, applying water jets from two directions to the tableware, which more effectively loosens and removes stubborn stains. Compared to a single-direction downward spray, the combined force of the upper and lower sprays makes it easier to rinse away stains from the surface of the tableware, improving cleaning efficiency and quality.

[0067] like Figures 1 to 7 The side-opening dishwasher shown has a control component including a third sensor disposed on one side of the conveying component 7 and electrically connected to the control component. The third sensor is used to detect whether the conveying component 7 is in an unloaded state.

[0068] Furthermore, as a preferred embodiment of this utility model and not a limitation, operating the spray assembly when the conveyor assembly is unloaded would cause unnecessary energy waste and equipment wear. More importantly, if the spray assembly operates in normal cleaning mode when unloaded, the high-speed water jets would impact other components inside the conveyor assembly, such as spray pipes and sensors. Over time, this could lead to loosening, damage, or even equipment malfunction. The third sensor can detect whether the conveyor assembly is unloaded in real time. When an unloaded state is detected, the operating status of the spray assembly can be adjusted promptly by the controller. This can be achieved by reducing the spray intensity, changing the spray mode to enter a low-power standby mode, or pausing operation, thereby effectively avoiding the potential safety risks associated with unloaded operation and protecting the safety of the equipment and operators.

[0069] Specifically, the third sensor is an infrared detection sensor. When it detects that there are no tableware on the conveying component, the spraying component stops operating to prevent the equipment from running ineffectively under no-load conditions.

[0070] Example 1 like Figures 1 to 7The side-opening dishwasher shown comprises a rack 1, wherein the rack 1 is provided with a washing chamber 2, the rack 1 is provided with a rack opening 3, a hinge shaft, a door body 4 connected to the hinge shaft and used for covering the rack opening 3, a locking part 5 cooperatively connected with the door body 4, a spray assembly 6 located in the washing chamber 2, and a control assembly electrically connected with the spray assembly 6, the door body 4 rotates in a vertical direction, the control assembly comprises a sensing element arranged on one side of the rack 1 and / or one side of the door body 4, and a control element electrically connected with the sensing element and the spray assembly 6 respectively, and when the door body 4 is opened, the sensing element drives the spray assembly 6 to stop running through the control element.

[0071] When the sensing element of the utility model detects the opening action of the door body 4, it sends a stop signal to the spray assembly 6 through the control element, and the spray assembly 6 stops working to reduce liquid injection and splashing. The door body 4 is rotated and opened laterally in the vertical direction, compared with the traditional up-and-down lifting opening mode, the opening and closing track of the door body 4 is easier to control the opening and closing angle, which further reduces the risk of residual liquid splashing along with the opening of the door body 4.

[0072] Embodiment II Based on Embodiment I, Embodiment II further has the following embodiments: The locking part 5 is arranged on one side of the rack opening 3, and one side of the door body 4 is hinged with a door handle 41, a lock tongue 42 connected with the door handle 41, and an elastic member connected between the door handle 41 and the lock tongue 42.

[0073] The locking part 5 is provided with a connecting part 51 connected with the rack 1, an abutting part 52 connected with the connecting part 51, and a locking slot 53 for the lock tongue 42 to extend into, the lock tongue 42 is provided with a buckling groove 421 cooperatively connected with the abutting part 52, the door handle 41 is provided with an accommodating slot 411 for a hand to extend into, and a handle 412 partially located in the accommodating slot 411, and the rotation of the handle 412 drives the elastic member to drive the lock tongue 42 to separate from the abutting part 52.

[0074] There are two connecting parts 51, the abutting part 52 is located between the two connecting parts 51, the two connecting parts 51 and the abutting part 52 enclose to form the locking slot 53, the locking part 5 is arranged in a "匚" shape, the locking part 5 protrudes in the direction perpendicular to the rack opening 3, and the abutting part 52 is arranged along the vertical direction.

[0075] The inner side of the door body 4 is provided with a locking groove 432 matched with the locking part 5, the locking groove 432 allows the locking part 5 to extend into, which further reduces the occupied space of the locking part 5 and also ensures the sealing effect of the door body 4.

[0076] Embodiment III Based on Embodiment 2, Embodiment 3 further includes the following implementation: A frame frame 31 is provided around the frame opening 3, and the door 4 is provided with a door frame 43 that is connected to the frame frame 31 and a fitting part 44 that is connected to the door frame 43 and extends toward one side of the frame opening 3.
