Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a cleaning machine for cleaning tableware and / or fruits and vegetables. Background Technology

[0002] Washing machines, as devices that automatically clean bowls, chopsticks, plates, dishes, knives, forks, pots, pans, fruits, and vegetables, greatly facilitate people's lives. In existing technology, washing machines have a washing chamber inside, within which a dish rack assembly is installed for placing tableware. To increase the number of items to be washed, at least one dish rack is usually provided, and ideally, at least one rack should be in use or stored depending on the number of items to be washed.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent application CN202410863996.2 (publication number CN118592866A) discloses a "Washing Machine", which includes a housing with an open inner cavity at the top or side, and a portion of the inner cavity of the housing serves as a storage space; a dish rack assembly disposed in the inner cavity of the housing, the dish rack assembly including a shelf and a dish rack, the shelf being switchable between a first position and a second position, the shelf being located above the dish rack when the shelf is in the first position, and the shelf being stored in the storage space when the shelf is in the second position; a water supply pipe having a water outlet; and a spray assembly connected to the shelf and movable with the shelf, the spray assembly being fluidly connected to the water outlet when the shelf is in the first position, and fluidly disconnected from the water outlet when the shelf is in the second position.

[0004] In a specific embodiment of this patent, the shelf is constrained to the dish rack by a connector, which is fixedly installed on the shelf. While this allows the shelf to move relative to the dish rack, removing the dish rack from the housing requires moving the shelf and dish rack together, which is heavy and inconvenient. Furthermore, when removing the dish rack assembly as a whole, the shelf must first be moved to a second position. When the dish rack assembly is moved upwards, the shelf is prone to interfering with the water supply pipe inside the housing, causing it to become stuck.

[0005] Furthermore, when the shelf is in the first position, it is fully supported on the bowl rack. The weight of the bowl rack itself, the weight of the tableware in the bowl rack, the weight of the shelf, and the weight of the tableware in the shelf all act on the support legs at the bottom of the bowl rack. This makes it easy for the support legs at the bottom of the bowl rack to leave indentations on the bottom wall of the cabinet.

[0006] Because the water pipe is installed on the shelf and needs to be matched with the water supply pipe, and the shelf is installed on the dish rack, the height of the dish rack and the clearance between the dish rack and the side wall of the cabinet will affect the matching of the water pipe and the water supply pipe.

[0007] Although the patent mentions that the connector can be relatively fixedly mounted on the cabinet, it does not disclose how the connector is mounted on the cabinet. If the connector is mounted on the cabinet, it is a problem to ensure that the shelf is stable relative to the cabinet when it is in the first position; otherwise, items on the shelf may easily slip off. Furthermore, even if the shelf is in the second position, with the connector mounted on the cabinet, it may still affect the outward removal of the dish rack. Utility Model Content

[0008] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning machine that facilitates the removal of shelves from the box, based on the current state of the technology.

[0009] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is: a cleaning machine, comprising...

[0010] The box has an open top, and connectors are provided on both the left and right side walls of the box.

[0011] The dish rack is located inside the box.

[0012] A shelf is provided in the box. The two sides of the shelf are rotatably connected to the corresponding connecting parts, so that the shelf can be switched between a first position and a second position. When the shelf is in the first position, the shelf extends laterally and is located above the bowl rack. When the shelf is in the second position, the shelf extends vertically and is located beside the bowl rack.

[0013] The characteristic feature is that when the shelf is in the second position, the shelf and the bowl rack are out of contact, and the bowl rack can move up and down through the top opening of the box to enter and exit the box.

[0014] Preferably, with the dish rack removed from the housing, a fruit and vegetable basket can be placed inside the housing, and when the shelf is in the first position, the shelf is positioned above the fruit and vegetable basket. This allows for the washing of fruits and vegetables.

[0015] Preferably, a spray arm is installed below the shelf, and the spray arm has multiple spray holes. When the shelf is in the first position, the spray arm is located below the shelf with the spray holes facing upwards; or, the spray holes face downwards; or, some spray holes face upwards and others face downwards. In this way, the spray arm can not only clean the items on the shelf, but also clean the fruits and vegetables in the fruit and vegetable basket.

[0016] Preferably, when the shelf is in the first position, the shelf is out of contact with the dish rack, so that the weight of the shelf and the items on it will not directly act on the dish rack, preventing the dish rack from exerting too much force on the bottom wall of the box, which would result in an indentation on the bottom wall of the box.

[0017] In order to ensure that the shelf is stable relative to the box when it is in the first position, a support is also fixedly provided in the box. The support and the connecting parts are spaced apart in the front-back direction. When the shelf is in the first position, the shelf and the support can be detachably bound together.

[0018] To facilitate the assembly or disassembly of the shelf and support, preferably, the support has a through-groove with an open top, and the shelf is a hollow structure composed of multiple frame strips, with the frame strips extending laterally at the front of the shelf detachably inserted into the groove. The support has a simple structure, and lifting the shelf allows for detachment of the shelf and support, while pressing down allows for assembly, making operation convenient.

[0019] In the above scheme, the support member is located at the front of the box, the connector is located at the rear of the box, the axis of the connector extends in the left and right direction, the shelf can rotate around the axis of the connector, and the shelf can move up and down relative to the connector when rotated to the vertical state.

[0020] In order to limit the movement trajectory of the shelf, guide rails are provided on the left and right sides of the shelf, and two connecting parts are respectively inserted into the guide rails and the two slide together. When the shelf is in the first position, the guide rails are located at the bottom of the shelf and extend laterally; when the shelf is in the second position, the two guide rails are located on the left and right sides of the bowl rack respectively.

[0021] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the connector is provided with a groove, and the guide rail is partially embedded in the groove to prevent the guide rail and the connector from losing contact.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: By setting the connector on the box body instead of the bowl rack, the bowl rack and the shelf are not constrained together by the connector. When the shelf is in the second position, the bowl rack is out of contact with the shelf, so the bowl rack can be moved out separately. Compared with the existing method, if you want to move the bowl rack, you need to move the bowl rack and the shelf out of the box together, which is more labor-saving. Attached Figure Description

[0035] like Figures 1-9As shown, the washing machine of this preferred embodiment includes a housing 1, a shelf 2, a dish rack 3, and a connector 4.

[0036] The top of the box 1 is open, and connectors 4 are provided on both the left and right side walls of the box 1. The dish rack 3 and shelf 2 are both located inside the box 1. The two sides of the shelf 2 are rotatably connected to the corresponding connectors 4, allowing the shelf 2 to switch between a first position and a second position. When the shelf 2 is in the first position, as... Figure 1 As shown, shelf 2 extends laterally and is located above bowl rack 3. When shelf 2 is in the second position, as... Figure 8 As shown, shelf 2 extends vertically and is located next to bowl rack 3.

[0037] Specifically in this embodiment, such as Figure 6 As shown, a first mounting shaft 11 extending in the left-right direction is provided on the side wall of the housing 1, and a first reinforcing plate 12 is attached to the side wall of the housing 1. The first mounting shaft 11 passes through the first reinforcing plate 12. The connecting member 4 is wheel-shaped and mounted on the first mounting shaft 11. The axis of the connecting member 4 extends in the left-right direction. The shelf 2 can rotate around the axis of the connecting member 4, and when the shelf 2 is rotated to a vertical position, it can move up and down relative to the connecting member 4. Figure 7 As shown, shelf 2 rotates upward from the first position to the vertical position, and then moves downward to the second position; when shelf 2 needs to switch from the second position to the first position, first pull shelf 2 upward to... Figure 7 Position as shown, then rotate shelf 2 downwards to the first position. Connector 4 can rotate about the axis of the first mounting shaft 11, or connector 4 can be fixed relative to the first mounting shaft 11.

[0038] The shelf 2 has guide rails 5 on both the left and right sides, and two connectors 4 are respectively inserted into the guide rails 5 and the two slide in cooperation. Figure 6 As shown, a groove 41 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the connector 4, and the guide rail 5 is partially embedded in the groove 41 to prevent the guide rail 5 and the connector 4 from losing contact. When the shelf 2 is in the first position, the guide rail 5 is located at the bottom of the shelf 2 and extends laterally; when the shelf 2 is in the second position, the two guide rails 5 are located on the left and right sides of the bowl rack 3 respectively.

[0039] When shelf 2 is in the second position, shelf 2 and dish rack 3 are no longer in contact, allowing dish rack 3 to move up and down through the top opening of the housing 1. Otherwise, contact between shelf 2 and dish rack 3 would interfere with the movement of dish rack 3. By placing connector 4 on the housing 1 instead of on dish rack 3, dish rack 3 and shelf 2 are not constrained by connector 4, and dish rack 3 is no longer in contact with shelf 2 when shelf 2 is in the second position. This allows dish rack 3 to be moved out independently, which is more labor-saving than the existing method where dish rack 3 and shelf 2 must be moved out of housing 1 together.

[0040] With the bowl rack 3 removed from the housing 1, as Figure 9 As shown, a fruit and vegetable basket 6 can be placed in the box 1 so that fruits and vegetables can be washed, and when the shelf 2 is in the first position, the shelf 2 is located above the fruit and vegetable basket 6.

[0041] A spray arm 7 is mounted on the shelf 2 and located below it. A water supply pipe 71 is provided at the rear of the housing 1. The water supply pipe and the spray arm 7 are connected by a water pipe 72. The fit between the spray arm 7, the shelf 2, the water supply pipe 71 and the water pipe 72 is the same as the structure of the patent cited in the background art.

[0042] The spray arm 7 is equipped with multiple spray holes. When the shelf 2 is in the first position, the spray arm 7 is located below the shelf 2 with the spray holes facing upwards; or, the spray holes face downwards; or, some spray holes face upwards and others face downwards. In this way, the spray arm 7 can not only clean the items on the shelf 2, but also clean the fruits and vegetables in the fruit and vegetable basket 6.

[0043] In order to ensure that the shelf 2 is stable relative to the box 1 when it is in the first position, a support member 8 is also fixedly provided in the box 1. The support member 8 is located at the front of the box 1, and the connector 4 is located at the rear of the box 1. The support member 8 and the connector 4 are spaced apart in the front-back direction. When the shelf 2 is in the first position, the shelf 2 and the support member 8 can be detachably bound together.

[0044] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 As shown, the support member 8 has a through groove 81 that extends from left to right and has an open top. The shelf 2 is a hollow structure composed of multiple frame strips 21. The frame strips 21 extending from the front of the shelf 2 in the left-right direction can be detachably inserted into the groove 81. The support member 8 has a simple structure, and lifting the shelf 2 can detach the shelf 2 and the support member 8, while pressing down the shelf 2 can assemble the shelf 2 and the support member 8, making the operation convenient.

[0045] The side wall of the housing 1 is provided with a second mounting shaft 13 extending in the left and right direction, and a second reinforcing plate 14 is attached to the side wall of the housing 1. The second mounting shaft 13 passes through the second reinforcing plate 14, and the support member 8 is installed on the second mounting shaft 13.

[0046] When the shelf 2 is in the first position, it can disengage from the dish rack 3, so that the weight of the shelf 2 and the items on it will not directly act on the dish rack 3, preventing the dish rack 3 from exerting too much force on the bottom wall of the box 1, which would cause an indentation on the bottom wall of the box 1.

[0047] Of course, the shelf 2 can also be positioned in the first position and press against the top of the bowl rack 3. However, in this embodiment, since the connector 4 and the support 8 also share part of the weight of the shelf 2 and the items on it, the weight of the shelf 2 and the items on it will not be completely applied to the bowl rack 3, so it will not cause an impression on the bottom wall of the box 1.

[0048] The cleaning machine in this embodiment can be controlled by a voice module, which is equipped with a controller, a voice receiving module, and a voice parsing module. The voice receiving module receives user commands, and the voice parsing module parses the commands. Based on the parsed commands, the controller controls the cleaning machine to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing intelligent control of the cleaning machine and improving the user experience.
