[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0028] See Figures 1-11 The dishwasher, which can improve the drying effect, includes an inner tub 1, a dish rack assembly and a tray 2 installed inside the inner tub 1, and a vibration mechanism 3. The vibration mechanism 3 is located on the outer wall of the inner tub 1. When the vibration mechanism 3 vibrates, the inner tub 1 vibrates accordingly, and the inner tub 1 transmits the vibration to the dish rack assembly and the tray 2, thereby causing the dish rack assembly and the tray 2 to vibrate. After the dishwasher finishes washing, it enters the drying stage. The vibration mechanism 3 (vibration motor 4) will vibrate (swing) for about 10 minutes, thereby causing water droplets on the tray 2, the dish rack assembly (upper dish rack 12 and lower dish rack 15), and the surface of the inner tub 1 to fall off, so that the surface of the tableware dries faster and improves the drying effect of the tableware.

[0029] The vibration mechanism 3 includes a vibration motor 4, a fixing plate 5, and a pressure plate 6. The fixing plate 5 is fixed on the inner liner 1 and is in contact with the outer wall of the inner liner 1. The pressure plate 6 is fixed on the fixing plate 5. The vibration motor 4 is pressed between the fixing plate 5 and the pressure plate 6 so that the vibration motor 4 is in contact with the fixing plate 5. This allows the vibration of the vibration motor 4 to be fully transmitted to the fixing plate 5. Moreover, since the fixing plate 5 is in contact with the outer wall of the inner liner 1, the vibration of the fixing plate 5 can also be fully transmitted to the inner liner 1, thereby improving the vibration effect of the inner liner 1.

[0030] The pressure plate 6 is provided with a contoured part 7 for fitting the vibration motor 4. The contoured part 7 and the fixing plate 5 form a mounting position 8. The contoured part 7 and the fixing plate 5 press the vibration motor 4 onto the mounting position 8. The contoured part 7 is arc-shaped and the vibration motor 4 is circular, so that the contoured part 7 and the vibration motor 4 fit together fully, thereby pressing the vibration motor 4 firmly between the contoured part 7 and the fixing plate 5, improving the vibration effect of the inner liner 1.

[0031] The contouring part 7 has flanges 9 at both ends, and fixing holes 10 are provided on the flanges 9. Fasteners 11 are provided on the fixing plate 5. The fasteners 11 pass through the fixing holes 10 and are connected to the locking member 21 so that the pressure plate 6 is fixed on the fixing plate 5, and then the vibration motor 4 is pressed between the fixing plate 5 and the pressure plate 6. The fasteners 11 are screws, which are welded to the fixing plate 5. The locking member 21 is a nut, and the screw and nut are connected by threads.

[0032] Limiting parts 20 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the contouring part 7, and the vibration motor 4 is limited between the two limiting parts 20 to prevent the vibration motor 4 from moving forward or backward when vibrating.

[0033] The fixing plate 5 is fixed to the plate of the inner liner 1 by TOX riveting, fastening elements or buckles; in this embodiment, the fixing plate 5 is fixed to the plate of the inner liner 1 by TOX riveting, and the fixing plate 5 and the plate of the inner liner 1 form interlocking circular connection points 22 to realize the connection between the fixing plate 5 and the plate of the inner liner 1. TOX riveting is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0034] The vibration mechanism 3 is installed on the outer bottom wall, outer side wall, or outer top wall of the inner liner 1; in this embodiment, the vibration mechanism 3 is installed on the outer bottom wall of the inner liner 1.

[0035] The bowl basket assembly includes an upper bowl basket 12, with first sliding wheels 13 on both sides of the upper bowl basket 12. First guide rails 14 are respectively provided on both sides of the inner liner 1. The first guide rails 14 are fixed to the plate of the inner liner 1 by screws. The upper bowl basket 12 is slidably mounted on the first guide rails 14 via the first sliding wheels 13. When the inner liner 1 vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the upper bowl basket 12 in sequence through the first guide rails 14 and the first sliding wheels 13, so that the upper bowl basket 12 vibrates.

[0036] The bowl basket assembly also includes a lower bowl basket 15, which is located below the upper bowl basket 12. The lower bowl basket 15 is provided with second sliding wheels 16 on both sides. The inner liner 1 is provided with sliding support parts 17 on both sides. The sliding support parts 17 are integrally formed with the inner liner 1. The lower bowl basket 15 is slidably mounted on the sliding support parts 17 through the second sliding wheels 16. When the inner liner 1 vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the lower bowl basket 15 through the sliding support parts 17, so that the lower bowl basket 15 vibrates.

[0037] The tray 2 is located on top of the inner liner 1 and above the upper bowl basket 12. The tray 2 is provided with third sliding wheels 18 on both sides. The inner liner 1 is provided with second guide rails 19 at both ends of the top. The second guide rails 19 are fixed to the plate of the inner liner 1 by screws. The tray 2 is slidably mounted on the second guide rails 19 by the third sliding wheels 18. When the inner liner 1 vibrates, the vibration is transmitted to the tray 2 in sequence through the second guide rails 19 and the third sliding wheels 18, so that the tray 2 vibrates.

[0038] The bottom of the inner liner 1 is equipped with a drainage device 23. When the vibration mechanism 3 is working, it causes water droplets on the surface of the tray 2, the bowl basket assembly, and the inner liner 1 to fall off. The water droplets will fall to the bottom of the inner liner 1 and then be discharged from the inner liner 1 through the drainage device 23. The drainage device 23 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here.
