Detailed Implementation

[0021] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0022] The following is for reference. Figures 1-11 Description of a dishwasher 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model Reference Figures 1-3 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a dishwasher 100 includes a body assembly 10 and a first dish rack 30. The body assembly 10 includes an inner liner 11, one end of which has a side opening 11a along a first direction, and the first dish rack 30 is configured to be slidably disposed within the inner liner 11 through the side opening 11a.

[0023] "First direction" is Figure 1The F1 direction, i.e., the front-to-back direction, is the length direction of the first dish basket 30. When using the tableware, the user can pull the first dish basket 30 out of the inner liner 11 from the side opening 11a along the first direction to remove the tableware for use; when using the dishwasher 100 to wash the tableware, the user can also pull the first dish basket 30 out of the inner liner 11 from the side opening 11a along the first direction, and then place the tableware in the first dish basket 30 for washing. After removing or placing the tableware, the first dish basket 30 can be pushed in the opposite direction along the first direction to push it back into the inner liner 11.

[0024] The dishwasher 100 also includes a door assembly 40. The door assembly 40 is pivotally disposed on the lower part of the body assembly 10 between a first position and a second position, wherein the door assembly 40 closes the side opening 11a in the first position and opens the side opening 11a in the second position.

[0025] The “first position” refers to the position when the door assembly 40 closes the side opening 11a, and the “second position” refers to the position when the door assembly 40 fully opens the side opening 11a.

[0026] For example, the door assembly 40 is connected to the body assembly 10 via a pivot (not shown in the figure). The door assembly 40 can be driven to rotate around the pivot electrically, or the user can manually drive the door assembly 40 to rotate around the pivot from a first position to a second position, thereby opening the side opening 11a to facilitate pulling the first basket 30 out of the inner liner 11. After the user pushes the first basket 30 into the inner liner 11, the user can drive the door assembly 40 to rotate in the opposite direction around the pivot, thereby turning the door assembly 40 from the second position to the first position, thereby closing the side opening 11a.

[0027] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the dishwasher 100 according to this embodiment of the present invention further includes a limiting member 50. The limiting member 50 is disposed on the side of the door assembly 40 facing the inner liner 11. The limiting member 50 includes a limiting portion 51, which protrudes from the surface of the door assembly 40 facing the inner liner 11. The limiting portion 51 is used to stop the first dish rack 30 when the door assembly 40 is in the second position, so as to limit the pull-out length of the first dish rack 30 in the first direction.

[0028] Specifically, when the door assembly 40 is in the second position, the user can pull the first bowl basket 30 out of the inner liner 11 along the first direction. Since the limiting part 51 protrudes from the door assembly 40, the limiting part 51 can stop the first bowl basket 30, thereby limiting the first bowl basket 30 and preventing the first bowl basket 30 from being pulled out too far, which would cause the first bowl basket 30 to fall off.

[0029] According to the present invention, the dishwasher 100, by setting a limiting member 50, can limit the first dish basket 30 when it is pulled out from the inner liner 11, so as to avoid the first dish basket 30 being pulled out too long in the first direction, causing the first dish basket 30 to fall off and thus causing the tableware to break, which greatly improves the safety of the dishwasher 100.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 In some embodiments, the first basket 30 includes a basket body 31 and a plurality of rollers 32, the rollers 32 being disposed at the lower part of the basket body 31. When the door assembly 40 is in the second position, the first basket 30 is configured to be pulled out from the side opening 11a along a first direction and at least some of the rollers 32 are supported on the door assembly 40, with a limiting part 51 used to stop the rollers 32.

[0031] With the door assembly 40 in the second position, the user can pull out the first basket 30 from the side opening 11a along the first direction. Multiple rollers 32 roll on the surface of the door assembly 40. When the roller 32 closest to the limit member 50 rolls to the limit member 50, the roller 32 is stopped by the limit part 51, so that the user cannot continue to pull out the first basket 30.

[0032] In the above technical solution, by setting the first bowl basket 30 to include a bowl basket body 31 and multiple rollers 32, and setting the multiple rollers 32 at the lower part of the bowl basket body 31, the multiple rollers 32 roll on the surface of the door assembly 40, which can make the user's push and pull operation more effortless and make it convenient for the user to pull out the first bowl basket 30 from the side opening 11a along the first direction.

[0033] Furthermore, by setting a limiting member 50, when the first bowl basket 30 is pulled out to its limit position, the limiting part 51 can stop the roller 32, so that the first bowl basket 30 cannot be pulled out further. Compared with the related technology that uses a bowl basket wire to fasten the door assembly 40, this application uses the limiting part 51 of the limiting member 50 to stop the roller 32, which can extend the pull-out length of the first bowl basket 30, making it easier for users to pick up and put down tableware and increasing the user's comfort.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 In some specific embodiments, when the door assembly 40 is in the second position, with the side surface of the door assembly 40 facing the inner liner 11 as the reference plane, the end surface of the limiting part 51 away from the door assembly 40 is not lower than the center of the roller 32.

[0035] Specifically, taking the same surface of the door assembly 40 facing the inner liner 11 as the reference plane, the distance from the end of the limiting part 51 away from the door assembly 40 to the reference plane is greater than or equal to the distance from the center of the roller 32 to the reference plane, so that the end of the limiting part 51 away from the door assembly 40 extends beyond the center of the roller 32, or the end of the limiting part 51 away from the door assembly 40 is flush with the center of the roller 32.

[0036] This design enhances the limiting effect of the limiting member 50 on the roller 32, preventing the roller 32 from being pulled out further along the first direction when the user pulls the basket forcefully or when the roller 32 passes the limiting part 51 under the action of inertial force.

[0037] Reference Figure 4 In some embodiments, a plurality of rollers 32 are arranged in a first direction and a second direction, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0038] The "second direction" here is Figure 4 The F2 direction, i.e., the left-right direction, is the width direction of the first bowl basket 30. Multiple rollers 32 of the first bowl basket 30 can be arranged on both sides of the first bowl basket 30 in the width direction, and multiple rollers 32 on each side of the first bowl basket 30 can be arranged along the first direction. This way, when the user pulls out the first bowl basket 30 along the first direction, the multiple rollers 32 make the process of pulling the first bowl basket 30 out of the inner liner 11 more smoothly.

[0039] Reference Figure 6 The number of limiting members 50 is at least two, and the at least two limiting members 50 are arranged in the second direction, with each of the at least two limiting members 50 corresponding to one of the positions of at least two rollers 32. When the corresponding roller 32 rolls to the limiting member 50, the limiting part 51 stops the roller 32, preventing it from rolling in the first direction.

[0040] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by having at least two limiting members 50 arranged in the second direction correspond one-to-one with the positions of at least two rollers 32, on the one hand, the first bowl basket 30 can be pulled out more smoothly from the inner liner 11, bringing a better user experience. On the other hand, the limiting members 50 arranged in the second direction can simultaneously stop the rollers 32 arranged in the second direction, which can strengthen the limiting effect of the limiting members 50 on the rollers 32 and prevent the first bowl basket 30 from shifting.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7In some specific embodiments, the door assembly 40 has two guide portions 41 on the side facing the inner liner 11, and the two guide portions 41 are arranged opposite each other in a second direction. When the door assembly 40 is in the second position, the length direction of each guide portion 41 extends along a first direction, the roller 32 moves along the first direction under the guidance of the guide portion 41, and the limiting portion 51 is arranged close to the guide portion 41.

[0042] The guide portion 41 can be a guide groove extending along the first direction. The guide groove can be integrally formed on the door assembly 40, or it can be defined by a structure separately provided on the door assembly 40. The guide portion 41 can also be a guide protrusion extending along the first direction. Of course, the guide portion 41 can also be other structures, which are not limited.

[0043] The guide part 41 can guide the roller 32. When the user pulls out the first bowl basket 30 in the first direction, the rollers 32 on both sides of the first bowl basket 30 in the second direction can move in the first direction under the guidance of the two guide parts 41, so that the rollers 32 can accurately roll to the limit part 51 in the first direction, avoiding the situation where the rolling direction of the rollers 32 deviates during the rolling process, causing the first bowl basket 30 to be unable to be pulled out to the preset position.

[0044] In the above technical solution, by setting two guide parts 41 opposite to each other in the second direction on the side of the door assembly 40 facing the inner liner 11, the roller 32 can move to the limit part 51 in the first direction under the guidance of the guide parts 41 during the process of the user pulling out the first basket 30, so as to avoid the roller 32 deviating in direction during the movement, which would prevent the user from pulling out the first basket 30.

[0045] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 and further refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 In some specific embodiments, the roller 32 includes a body portion 321 and an extension portion 322. The extension portion 322 is connected to one axial end of the body portion 321, and the radial dimension of the extension portion 322 is smaller than the radial dimension of the body portion 321.

[0046] The guide part 41 is a guide groove, the main body part 321 cooperates with the guide groove, and the limiting part 51 is located on one side of the guide groove and is used to stop the extension part 322.

[0047] Specifically, both the main body 321 and the extension 322 can be columnar extending in the second direction. The extension 322 is connected to the end of the main body 321 that is away from the first basket 30 in the second direction. The radial dimension of the extension 322 is smaller than that of the main body 321. When the roller 32 is supported on the door assembly 40, the main body 321 with a larger radial dimension extends into the guide groove to cooperate with the guide groove, while the extension 322 with a smaller radial dimension is located on one side of the guide groove.

[0048] Considering the manufacturing errors of the roller 32 and the door assembly 40, when the first basket 30 moves on the door assembly 40, the bottom wall of the guide groove can contact the main body 321 with a larger radial dimension to support the main body 321, and / or, the side wall of the door assembly 40 located on one side of the guide groove can contact the extension 322 with a smaller radial dimension to support the extension 322, which helps to ensure the smoothness of the movement of the roller 32.

[0049] In addition, when the first basket 30 moves on the door assembly 40, the side wall of the guide groove can stop and limit the end of the main body 321 near the extension 322, and correct the running direction of the roller 32 in real time, so that the roller 32 can move more smoothly.

[0050] Therefore, in the above technical solution, by configuring the roller 32 to include a body portion 321 and an extension portion 322, and setting the radial dimension of the extension portion 322 to be smaller than the radial dimension of the body portion 321, on the one hand, the bottom wall of the guide groove can be used to stop and limit the body portion 321, and the running direction of the roller 32 can be corrected in real time to prevent the movement direction of the roller 32 from deviating from the first direction. On the other hand, it can be ensured that the roller 32 can always be supported on the door assembly 40, which is beneficial to ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the roller 32. In addition, the width of the guide groove can be reduced to more effectively limit the wobbling of the roller 32 in the second direction, further ensuring the smoothness of the movement of the roller 32.

[0051] Reference Figures 6-9 In some examples, the dishwasher 100 also includes a second dish rack 20, which is configured to be slidably disposed within the inner tub 11 through a side opening 11a, and is located above the first dish rack 30. When using the tableware, the user can pull the second dish rack 20 out of the inner tub 11 through the side opening 11a in a first direction to remove the tableware for use; when using the dishwasher 100 to wash the tableware, the user can also pull the second dish rack 20 out of the inner tub 11 through the side opening 11a in a first direction, and then place the tableware in the second dish rack 20 for washing. After removing or placing the tableware, the second dish rack 20 can be pushed back into the inner tub 11 in the first direction.

[0052] The limiting member 50 includes a buffer part 52. When the door assembly 40 is in the first position, the buffer part 52 is disposed opposite to the second basket 20, and the buffer part 52 is used to stop the second basket 20.

[0053] When the door assembly 40 is in the first position, by setting the buffer part 52 opposite to the second dish rack 20, the buffer part 52 can stop the second dish rack 20 and limit the second dish rack 20. This can effectively prevent the second dish rack 20 from colliding with the inner door 42 due to bumps during the transportation of the dishwasher 100, which would cause the inner door 42 to be dented or scratched.

[0054] For example, refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 When the door assembly 40 is in the first position, the buffer portions 52 of the two limiting members 50 are respectively opposite to the two sides of the first dish rack 30 in the second direction. The limiting portion 51 and the buffer portion 52 can form a groove 53. The steel wire of the second dish rack 20 (not shown in the figure) cooperates with the groove 53. On the one hand, it can limit the second dish rack 20 in the first and second directions to prevent the second dish rack 20 from shifting during the transport of the dishwasher 100. On the other hand, it can buffer the second dish rack 20 to avoid direct collision between the second dish rack 20 and the inner door 42.

[0055] In some specific examples, when the door assembly 40 is in the second position, with the surface of the door assembly 40 facing the inner liner 11 as the reference plane, the end surface of the buffer portion 52 away from the door assembly 40 is lower than the end surface of the limiting portion 51 away from the door assembly 40. That is, the distance from the end surface of the buffer portion 52 away from the door assembly 40 to the reference plane is less than the distance from the end surface of the limiting portion 51 away from the door assembly 40 to the reference plane.

[0056] With this configuration, while keeping the size of the second dish rack 20 unchanged, it can prevent the buffer part 52 from interfering with the second dish rack 20 due to excessive size, which would prevent the door assembly 40 from closing properly and thus prevent the door assembly 40 from rotating to the first position. This helps to ensure the reliability of the door assembly 40 closing, thereby ensuring the reliability of the dishwasher 100. On the other hand, it can reduce the amount of material used in the buffer part 52, which helps to reduce material costs.

[0057] Reference Figure 7In some embodiments, the buffer portion 52 and the limiting portion 51 are integrally formed, and the limiting member 50 is an integrally formed elastic material part. By making the buffer portion 52 and the limiting portion 51 integrally formed, on the one hand, the buffer portion 52 and the limiting portion 51 can be installed on the door assembly 40 in one go during installation, simplifying the installation steps; on the other hand, it can improve the connection reliability of the buffer portion 52 and the limiting portion 51 and reduce the risk of the buffer portion 52 and the limiting portion 51 falling off during use.

[0058] In addition, by setting the limiting member 50 as an integrally molded elastic material, the buffer part 52 can have better buffering capacity. During the transportation of the dishwasher 100, the buffer part 52 can better absorb the impact force generated by the second dish basket 20 due to bumps, reducing the risk of the second dish basket 20 colliding with the inner door 42.

[0059] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 and further refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the first basket 30 includes a basket body 31 and a plurality of rollers 32. The plurality of rollers 32 are disposed at the lower part of the basket body 31, and the plurality of rollers 32 are arranged in a first direction and a second direction, wherein the second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0060] The door assembly 40 has two guide portions 41 on the side facing the inner liner 11. The two guide portions 41 are arranged opposite each other in a second direction. When the door assembly 40 is in the second position, the length direction of each guide portion 41 extends along a first direction. The roller 32 moves along the first direction under the guidance of the guide portion 41 and at least part of the roller 32 is supported on the door assembly 40. The limiting portion 51 is arranged near the guide portion 41 and is used to stop the roller 32.

[0061] Specifically, the upper part of the basket body 31 of the first bowl basket 30 has a handle 311. When the door assembly 40 is in the second position, the user can pull the handle 311 to pull the first bowl basket 30 out of the inner liner 11 in the first direction. During this process, the rollers 32 of the first bowl basket 30 in the second direction cooperate with the two guides 41 respectively, and move in the first direction to the limiting member 50 under the guidance of the guides 41. When the rollers 32 contact the limiting member 51, the limiting member 51 stops the rollers 32, thereby completing the limiting of the first bowl basket 30 and stopping the first bowl basket 30 at the limiting member 50.

[0062] In the above technical solution, by providing two opposing guide portions 41 in the second direction on the side of the door assembly 40 facing the inner liner 11, and setting the length direction of each guide portion 41 to extend along the first direction, at least two rollers 32 of the first basket 30 can cooperate with the two guide portions 41 respectively during the process of pulling out the first basket 30, and move along the first direction under the guidance of the guide portions 41, so that the rollers 32 can move to the limiting member 50, and then the limiting portion 51 on the limiting member 50 stops the rollers 32, thereby completing the limiting of the first basket 30 by the limiting member 50, so that the first basket 30 stops at the limiting member 50.

[0063] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 5 and further refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some specific embodiments, the first basket 30 includes a basket body 31 and a plurality of rollers 32. The plurality of rollers 32 are disposed at the lower part of the basket body 31. At least one roller 32 includes a body portion 321 and an extension portion 322. The extension portion 322 is connected to one axial end of the body portion 321, and the radial dimension of the extension portion 322 is smaller than the radial dimension of the body portion 321.

[0064] The door assembly 40 has a guide portion 41 on the side facing the inner liner 11. When the door assembly 40 is in the second position, the main body 321 cooperates with the guide portion 41. The limiting portion 51 is located on one side of the guide portion 41 and is disposed opposite to the extension portion 322 in the first direction. The limiting portion 51 stops the extension portion 322. The buffer portion 52 is located at one end of the guide portion 41 and is disposed opposite to the main body 321 in the first direction.

[0065] Specifically, during the process of pulling the first basket 30 out of the inner liner 11, the main body 321 moves within the guide 41, and the extension 322 moves on the surface of the door assembly 40 near the guide 41. Therefore, when the main body 321 and the extension 322 move to the limiting member 50, the extension 322 and the limiting member 51 are positioned opposite each other in the first direction, the main body 321 and the buffer 52 are positioned opposite each other in the first direction, and the limiting member 51 stops the extension 322, thereby stopping the roller 32 at the limiting member 50.

[0066] Of course, in order to improve the limiting effect of the limiting member 50, the buffer part 52 can also stop the main body part 321, so that the limiting part 51 and the buffer part 52 can jointly stop and limit the roller 32.

[0067] In the above technical solution, by setting the limiting member 50 to include a limiting part 51 and a buffer part 52, and setting the roller 32 to include a body part 321 and an extension part 322, the limiting part 51 can stop the extension part 322, and even the buffer part 52 can stop the body part 321, effectively preventing the roller 32 from passing the limiting member 50 under the action of inertial force when the user pulls the basket hard or the roller 32 passes the limiting member 50, causing the first basket 30 to continue to be pulled out in the first direction.

[0068] Reference Figure 7 In some embodiments, the limiting member 50 is an integrally formed elastic material part.

[0069] Therefore, by making the limiting part 50 an integral piece, on the one hand, the buffer part 52 and the limiting part 51 can be installed on the door assembly 40 at one time during installation, simplifying the installation steps. On the other hand, it can improve the connection reliability between the buffer part 52 and the limiting part 51 and reduce the risk of the buffer part 52 and the limiting part 51 falling off during use.

[0070] In addition, by setting the limiting member 50 as an elastic material, not only can the limiting member 50 absorb some of the impact force when the door assembly 40 is in the second position and stops the roller 32, so that the roller 32 can slowly stop moving and the first basket 30 can finally stop relatively smoothly at the limiting member 50, which can improve the user's comfort to a certain extent, but also when the door assembly 40 is in the first position, the limiting member 50 can better buffer the second basket 20 and absorb the impact force generated by the second basket 20 during transportation, thereby avoiding collision between the door assembly 40 and the second basket 20.

[0071] For example, the limiting member 50 may be made of elastic materials such as rubber or silicone.

[0072] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 10 and Figure 11 In some specific embodiments, the door assembly 40 has a mounting hole 40a, and the limiting member 50 is embedded in the mounting hole 40a. The shape of the mounting hole 40a is the same as the cross-sectional shape of the limiting member 50.

[0073] For example, the limiting part 51 extends along the first direction and the buffer part 52 extends along the second direction. When the limiting member 50 is cut with the plane containing the first and second directions as the cross section, the cross section shape of the limiting member 50 is "L" shaped and the shape of the mounting hole 40a is also "L" shaped, so that the limiting member 50 can be embedded into the mounting hole 40a.

[0074] Of course, the shape of the limiting member 50 and the mounting hole 40a can also be "T" shaped or other shapes, which are not limited here.

[0075] In the above technical solution, by setting the shape of the mounting hole 40a to be the same as the cross-sectional shape of the limiting member 50, the limiting member 50 can be embedded in the mounting hole 40a, making the limiting member 50 more firmly installed on the door assembly 40, and effectively reducing the risk of the limiting member 50 falling off the door assembly 40 during use.

[0076] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In some specific embodiments, the door assembly 40 includes an outer door (not shown in the figure) and an inner door 42, the inner door 42 being disposed inside the outer door, and the limiting member 50 being disposed on the inner door 42.

[0077] With the door assembly 40 in the second position, the limiting member 50 is configured to stop the first basket 30 so that the first basket 30 remains in the position fully extended from the side opening 11a; or the inner door 42 has a dimension M in the first direction, and the distance between the end of the inner door 42 away from the pivot axis and the limiting member 50 in the first direction is L, where M is 3-5 times L. For example, in this state, M is 3, 4, or 5 times L, etc.

[0078] Therefore, by constructing the limiting member 50 to stop the first bowl basket 30 so that the first bowl basket 30 is stopped in the position where it is fully extended from the side opening 11a; or by setting the dimension of the inner door 42 in the first direction to 3-5 times the distance between the end of the inner door 42 away from the pivot axis and the limiting member 50 in the first direction, that is, by setting the limiting member 50 in a suitable position, on the one hand, when the door assembly 40 is in the second position, the limiting member 50 can be used to stop the roller 32, thereby extending the pull-out length of the first bowl basket 30, making it easier for the user to pick up and put down tableware, and increasing the user's comfort. On the other hand, when the limiting member 50 is made of an elastic material, when the door assembly 40 is in the first position, the limiting member 50 can be used to limit and buffer the second bowl basket 20, preventing the second bowl basket 20 from colliding with the door assembly 40, thereby protecting the door assembly 40.
