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] As people's living standards continue to improve, dishwashers, as a type of kitchen appliance, are increasingly entering households.

[0003] Dishwashers typically use a dish rack to hold the dishes, and a spray arm sprays water to clean the dishes in the rack. The rack is manually pulled out and retracted by the customer, which is inconvenient. To improve this, Chinese patent ZL 200580048985.4, "Dishwasher Including Storage Container," discloses a solution that includes a processing chamber and a storage container. The storage container is equipped with at least one drive device for driving the container. The drive device is designed to cause the storage container to move out of and / or into the processing chamber. The drive device is a motor, equipped with an actuation device that drives the storage container. The actuation device is a gear that meshes with a rack mounted on the storage container.

[0004] The above solution enables the automatic pulling out and retracting of the dish rack through the linkage of a motor and a gear rack, providing convenience for users. However, since the motor is usually located on the outer wall of the dishwasher, and the motor shaft passes through the side wall of the dishwasher to connect with the gear, not only is the connection inconvenient, but the connection between the motor shaft and the side wall of the dishwasher is also prone to unreliable sealing, leading to problems such as leakage of high-temperature water or steam. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a cleaning machine that is easy to install and has good sealing performance, 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 washing machine includes an inner tank, a dish basket, and a drive mechanism. The dish basket is disposed within the inner tank. The drive mechanism drives the dish basket into and / or out of the inner tank. The drive mechanism includes a motor disposed on the outer wall of the inner tank and further includes:

[0008] A motor support is used to mount the motor on the outer side wall of the inner liner. The inner liner side wall has an installation opening. The motor support is provided with an installation sleeve that can pass through the installation opening. The motor is located on the outer side wall of the motor support, and the motor shaft of the motor passes through the installation sleeve and is located in the inner liner.

[0009] A sealing gasket is elastically clamped between the outer wall of the inner liner and the motor support;

[0010] A fixing plate is installed on the inner side wall of the inner liner and is pressed and limited by the mounting sleeve of the motor support.

[0011] With the above structure, during installation, first install the motor on the outer wall of the motor support and arrange the motor shaft through the mounting sleeve. Then, pass the mounting sleeve of the motor support through the mounting opening on the inner liner side wall. Align the fixing plate with the mounting sleeve from inside the inner liner and tighten it for positioning. The installation is convenient, and the sealing performance is improved because the elastic sealing gasket is pressed into the assembly structure.

[0012] Preferably, the fixing plate has an assembly opening through which the mounting sleeve passes, and a limiting structure is provided between the assembly opening and the end of the mounting sleeve to clamp and limit their movement. This structure achieves clamping and limiting between the fixing plate and the mounting sleeve, improving installation reliability and sealing.

[0013] Preferably, the end of the mounting sleeve is provided with protruding edges arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. Correspondingly, the inner side of the fixing plate is provided with protruding ribs extending from the edge of the assembly opening towards the protruding edges. In the assembled state, the protruding ribs are pressed against the protruding edges. The pressing and limiting of the protruding ribs and the protruding edges realizes the pressing and limiting of the fixing plate and the mounting sleeve.

[0014] Preferably, there are at least two protruding edges, with a notch formed between adjacent protruding edges for the protruding rib to pass through. When the protruding rib and the notch are aligned, the fixing plate is allowed to move circumferentially relative to the mounting sleeve. The fixing plate is rotated until the protruding rib and the protruding edge are aligned, forming a pressing and limiting position. With this structure, during assembly, the protruding rib of the fixing plate is first aligned with the notch of the mounting sleeve, and the fixing plate is moved axially along the mounting sleeve until the assembly opening and the protruding rib are placed on the outer periphery of the mounting sleeve. Then, the fixing plate is rotated, causing the protruding rib of the fixing plate to gradually press between the inner wall of the inner liner and the protruding edge of the mounting sleeve. During this pressing process, the outer wall of the fixing plate as a whole pushes against the inner wall of the inner liner, driving the motor support to move towards the inner liner along with the mounting sleeve, compressing the sealing gasket, achieving sealing and limiting the motor support. This method is convenient to operate and provides good sealing performance after installation.

[0015] Preferably, the fixing plate, inner liner sidewall, sealing gasket, and motor support are provided with corresponding mounting holes. Screws pass through these mounting holes to lock the fixing plate, inner liner sidewall, sealing gasket, and motor support together. After the fixing plate and mounting sleeve are pressed and limited, the four corners of the fixing plate, inner liner sidewall, sealing gasket, and motor support are then fixed with screws to further improve installation reliability.

[0016] Preferably, the outer diameter of the mounting sleeve is smaller than the diameter of the mounting opening, and the sealing gasket has an opening through which the mounting sleeve passes, the inner diameter of which is smaller than the diameter of the mounting opening. The outer periphery of the sealing gasket opening covers the mounting opening around the periphery of the mounting sleeve. This structure helps to improve the installation seal between the mounting sleeve and the inner liner sidewall.

[0017] Preferably, the sealing gasket sidewall is provided with a raised ring that passes through the mounting opening and presses against the periphery of the fixing plate assembly opening. This structure helps to further improve the installation seal between the mounting sleeve and the inner liner sidewall.

[0018] Preferably, the drive mechanism further includes a gear and a rack. The gear is connected to the motor shaft near the inner wall of the inner liner, and the rack is located on the outer wall of the basket and meshes with the gear for transmission. This structure ensures high reliability in driving the basket in and out.

[0019] Preferably, the inner wall of the inner liner is provided with a roller located above the gear and rollingly engaging with the upper surface of the rack. This roller is used to ensure that the rack always maintains a tendency to mesh with the gear for transmission. This structure ensures that the gear and rack are always meshed and do not disengage, improving the reliability of the basket's entry and exit drive.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: This utility model installs the motor on the inner liner side wall through a motor support, sealing gasket, and fixing plate. During installation, the motor is first installed on the outer side wall of the motor support with the motor shaft passing through the mounting sleeve. Then, the mounting sleeve of the motor support is passed through the mounting opening on the inner liner side wall. The fixing plate is then aligned with the mounting sleeve from inside the inner liner and pressed and limited. This not only makes installation convenient, but also improves the sealing performance at this point because the elastic sealing gasket is pressed into the assembly structure, thus avoiding high-temperature water vapor leakage.

[0028] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1-7 As shown, the washing machine of this embodiment includes an inner tank 1, a dish basket 2, and a drive mechanism 3. The dish basket 2 is disposed in the inner tank 1, and an opening 11 is provided on the front side of the inner tank 1. The drive mechanism 3 is used to drive the dish basket 2 into and / or out of the inner tank 1 through the opening 11. The drive mechanism 3 includes a motor 33 disposed on the outer wall of the inner tank 1, and further includes:

[0030] The motor support 41 is used to mount the motor 33 on the outer side wall of the inner liner 1. The inner liner 1 has an installation opening 12. The motor support 41 is provided with an installation sleeve 411 that can pass through the installation opening 12. The motor 33 is located on the outer side wall of the motor support 41. The motor shaft 330 of the motor 33 passes through the installation sleeve 411 and is located in the inner liner 1.

[0031] The sealing gasket 42 is elastically clamped between the outer wall of the inner liner 1 and the motor support 41;

[0032] The fixing plate 43 is set on the inner side wall of the inner liner 1 and is pressed and limited by the mounting sleeve 411 of the motor support 41.

[0033] With the above structure, during installation, the motor 33 is first installed on the outer wall of the motor support 41 and the motor shaft 330 is arranged through the mounting sleeve 411. Then, the mounting sleeve 411 of the motor support 41 is passed through the mounting opening 12 on the side wall of the inner liner 1. The fixing plate 43 is aligned with the mounting sleeve 411 from inside the inner liner 1 and then pressed and limited. The installation is convenient, and the sealing performance is improved because the elastic sealing gasket 42 is pressed in the assembly structure.

[0034] Specifically, the fixing plate 43 has an assembly opening 431 through which the mounting sleeve 411 passes. A limiting structure is provided between the assembly opening 431 and the end of the mounting sleeve 411 to press and limit the two together. This structure is used to achieve pressing and limiting of the fixing plate 43 and the mounting sleeve 411, thereby improving installation reliability and sealing performance.

[0035] The end of the mounting sleeve 411 is provided with protruding edges 412 arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction. Correspondingly, the inner side of the fixing plate 43 is provided with a protruding rib 432 extending from the edge of the assembly port 431 toward the protruding edge 412. In the assembled state, the protruding rib 432 is pressed against the protruding edge 412. The protruding rib 432 and the protruding edge 412 together constitute the above-mentioned limiting structure. The pressing and limiting of the protruding rib 432 and the protruding edge 412 realizes the pressing and limiting of the fixing plate 43 and the mounting sleeve 411.

[0036] There are at least two protruding edges 412, and a notch 413 is formed between two adjacent protruding edges 412 for the protruding rib 432 to pass through. When the protruding rib 432 and the notch 413 are aligned, the fixing plate 43 is allowed to move circumferentially relative to the mounting sleeve 411. The fixing plate 43 rotates until the protruding rib 432 and the protruding edge 412 are aligned to form a clamping limit. In this embodiment, there are three sets of protruding edges and protruding ribs, which are evenly distributed at 120° in the circumferential direction. With this structure, during assembly, the protruding rib 432 of the fixing plate 43 is first aligned with the notch 413 of the mounting sleeve 411. The fixing plate 43 is then moved axially along the mounting sleeve 411 until the assembly opening 431 and the protruding rib 432 are fitted onto the outer periphery of the mounting sleeve 411. Then, the fixing plate 43 is rotated so that the protruding rib 432 of the fixing plate 43 is gradually squeezed between the inner wall of the inner liner 1 and the protruding edge 412 of the mounting sleeve 411. During this squeezing process, the outer wall of the fixing plate 43 pushes the inner wall of the inner liner 1 as a whole, causing the motor support 41 to move towards the inner liner 1 along with the mounting sleeve 411, squeezing the sealing gasket 42 to achieve sealing and limit the motor support 41. The operation is convenient and the sealing performance after installation is good.

[0037] To facilitate the rotation of the rib 432 relative to the rib 412, the outer surface of the rib 412 is formed with a slope that gradually thins in the opposite direction of rotation to guide the rib 432.

[0038] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 43, the side wall of the inner liner 1, the sealing gasket 42, and the motor support 41 are provided with corresponding mounting holes 100. Screws 10 pass through the mounting holes 100 to lock the fixing plate 43, the side wall of the inner liner 1, the sealing gasket 42, and the motor support 41 together. After the fixing plate 43 and the mounting sleeve 411 are pressed and limited, the four corners of the fixing plate 43, the side wall of the inner liner 1, the sealing gasket 42, and the motor support 41 are then fixed with screws 10 to further improve the installation reliability.

[0039] In this embodiment, the outer diameter of the mounting sleeve 411 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting opening 12. The sealing gasket 42 has an opening 421 through which the mounting sleeve 411 passes. The inner diameter of this opening 421 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting opening 12. The outer periphery of the opening 421 of the sealing gasket 42 covers the mounting opening 12 around the mounting sleeve 411. This structure helps improve the sealing performance between the mounting sleeve 411 and the side wall of the inner liner 1.

[0040] The sealing gasket 42 has a protruding ring 422 on its side wall that passes through the mounting port 12 and is pressed against the periphery of the mounting port 431 of the fixing plate 43. This structure helps to further improve the installation seal between the mounting sleeve 411 and the side wall of the inner liner 1.

[0041] The drive mechanism 3 in this embodiment also includes a gear 31 and a rack 32. The gear 31 is connected to the motor shaft 330 near the inner wall of the inner liner 1. The gear 32 is located on the outer wall of the basket 2 and meshes with the rack 330 for transmission. This structure drives the basket 2 in and out with good reliability.

[0042] The inner wall of the inner liner 1 is provided with a roller 5 located above the gear 31 and rollingly engaging with the upper surface of the rack 32. The roller 5 is used to ensure that the rack 32 always maintains a tendency to mesh with the gear 31 for transmission. This structure ensures that the gear 31 and the rack 32 are always meshed and do not disengage, thereby improving the reliability of the drive for the basket 2 to enter and exit.

[0043] In this embodiment, the motor 33 is installed on the side wall of the inner liner 1 using a motor support 41, a sealing gasket 42, and a fixing plate 43. During installation, the motor 33 is first installed on the outer side wall of the motor support 41, with the motor shaft 330 passing through the mounting sleeve 411. Then, the mounting sleeve 411 of the motor support 41 passes through the mounting opening 12 on the side wall of the inner liner 1. The fixing plate 43 is then aligned with the mounting sleeve 411 from inside the inner liner 1 and pressed and limited. This not only makes installation convenient, but also improves the sealing performance at this point because the elastic sealing gasket 42 is pressed into the assembly structure, thus preventing high-temperature water vapor leakage.

[0044] In this embodiment, the cleaning machine equipped with the drive mechanism 3 has an intelligent voice control module. The intelligent voice control module includes 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 drive mechanism 3 to perform corresponding operations, thereby realizing the automatic entry and exit of the dish basket 2 and improving the user experience of using this intelligent appliance.
