[0056] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0057] As described in the background section, dishwashers typically include a water cup. This water cup supplies washing water to the inner drum and collects used wastewater for discharge. The water cup, along with components such as a drain pump and a diversion valve, is usually fitted with a sealing ring to maintain a seal between the water cup and these components. This sealing ring is typically an O-ring, meaning it has a circular cross-section.

[0058] However, during use, the aforementioned sealing ring is prone to rolling, which can cause it to twist and deform, affecting the sealing effect.

[0059] To address the aforementioned problems, this application provides a sealing ring structure and a dishwasher. By providing a concave portion on the inner side and a protruding portion on the outer side of the sealing ring structure, the elastic deformation of the concave and protruding portions effectively improves the sealing effect of the sealing ring structure. The concave portion increases the contact area between the sealing ring structure and the drain pump, effectively reducing or preventing the sealing ring structure from rolling and twisting under external forces. This effectively prevents the sealing ring structure from being affected by twisting deformation, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring structure.

[0060] The dishwasher provided in the embodiments of this application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0061] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a dishwasher provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 This is an exploded view showing the combination of a water cup, a drain pump, and a water distribution valve, according to an embodiment of this application.

Figure 8This is a partial cross-sectional view of a sealing ring structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 9 for Figure 8 A magnified view of region C in the middle.

[0062] This application provides a sealing ring structure and a dishwasher including the sealing ring structure. See also... Figure 1 As shown, the dishwasher 10 may also include an inner tub 500, a water cup 200, a drain pump 300, and a water distribution valve 400. See also... Figure 2 As shown, the water cup 200 may have a first mounting port 210 and a second mounting port 220, and the drain pump 300 may have a first mounting head 310, combined with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the first mounting head 310 can mate with the first mounting port 210. The drain pump 300 and the water cup 200 can be connected through the first mounting head 310 mates with the first mounting port 210, and the sealing ring structure 100 can be installed between the first mounting head 310 and the first mounting port 210.

[0063] For example, the first mounting head 310 can extend into the first mounting port 210, and the sealing ring structure 100 can be located between the outer peripheral side of the first mounting head 310 and the inner wall of the first mounting port 210, so that the sealing ring structure 100 can provide a seal between the first mounting head 310 and the first mounting port 210.

[0064] See Figure 2 As shown, the water distribution valve 400 has a second mounting head 410, which is combined with Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second mounting head 410 mates with the second mounting port 220, and the water distribution valve 400 and the water cup 200 are connected through the mating of the second mounting head 410 and the second mounting port 220. The sealing ring structure 100 is installed between the second mounting head 410 and the second mounting port 220.

[0065] For example, the second mounting head 410 can extend into the second mounting port 220, and the sealing ring structure 100 can be located between the outer peripheral side of the second mounting head 410 and the inner wall of the second mounting port 220, so that the sealing ring structure 100 can provide a seal between the second mounting head 410 and the second mounting port 220.

[0066] See Figure 7 , Figure 8 as well as Figure 9As shown, the sealing ring structure 100 may include a sealing ring body 110, a protrusion 120, and a recess 130. The sealing ring body 110 may be an annular structure. The protrusion 120 may be located on the radially outer periphery of the sealing ring body 110; for example, the protrusion 120 may surround the outer periphery of the sealing ring body 110. The recess 130 may be located on the radially inner side of the sealing ring body 110; for example, the recess 130 may surround the inner side of the sealing ring body 110. The recess 130 forms a cavity 131 on the inner side of the sealing ring body 110.

[0067] Taking the sealing ring structure 100 installed between the drain pump 300 and the water cup 200 as an example, when the sealing ring structure 100 is installed between the outer periphery of the first mounting head 310 of the drain pump 300 and the inner wall of the first mounting port 210 of the water cup 200, the recessed portion 130 on the sealing ring structure 100 can contact the outer peripheral side of the first mounting head 310, and the cavity 131 described above can be formed between the recessed portion 130 and the outer peripheral side of the first mounting head 310. The protrusion 120 on the sealing ring structure 100 can contact the outer peripheral side of the first mounting port 210.

[0068] During the contact between the recessed portion 130 and the outer peripheral side of the first mounting head 310, the recessed portion 130 can undergo elastic deformation, which can effectively increase the contact area between the sealing ring structure 100 and the first mounting head 310. This can effectively reduce or avoid the rolling of the sealing ring structure 100 on the first mounting head 310, and can effectively reduce or avoid the twisting deformation of the sealing ring structure 100, preventing the sealing effect of the sealing ring structure 100 from being affected by the twisting deformation, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the sealing ring.

[0069] During the installation process of the first mounting head 310 and the first mounting port 210, the protrusion 120 can undergo elastic deformation to fit tightly against the inner wall of the first mounting port 210, thereby providing a seal between the first mounting port 210 and the first mounting head 310. The recessed portion 130 on the sealing ring structure 100 can deform towards the first mounting head 310. This facilitates the engagement of the protrusion 120 with the inner wall of the first mounting port 210, effectively reducing or preventing the protrusion 120 from getting stuck on the inner wall of the first mounting port 210.

[0070] Furthermore, the cavity 131 formed between the recessed portion 130 and the outer peripheral side of the first mounting head 310 will generate heat during the long-term operation of the dishwasher 10, causing the gas temperature inside the cavity 131 to rise and expand. This can effectively improve the tightness of the contact between the sealing ring structure 100 and the drain pump 300 and the water cup 200, thereby effectively improving the sealing effect of the sealing ring structure 100 between the water cup 200 and the drain pump 300.

[0071] The sealing ring structure 100 provided in this embodiment of the application has a concave portion 130 on its inner side and a protrusion 120 on its outer side. The elastic deformation of the concave portion 130 and the protrusion 120 effectively improves the sealing effect of the sealing ring structure 100. The concave portion 130 increases the contact area between the sealing ring structure 100 and the drain pump 300, effectively reducing or preventing the sealing ring structure 100 from rolling and twisting under external forces. This effectively prevents the twisting deformation of the sealing ring structure 100 from affecting its sealing performance, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring structure 100.

[0072] See also Figure 9 As shown, the sealing ring structure 100 may further include at least a first rib 140 and a second rib 150. The first rib 140 and the second rib 150 may be located on both sides of the recess 130 along the axial direction of the sealing ring body 110, and both the first rib 140 and the second rib 150 may protrude radially along the sealing ring body 110. That is, it can be understood that both the first rib 140 and the second rib 150 protrude toward the center of the sealing ring body 110.

[0073] During the use of the sealing ring structure 100, the first rib 140 and the second rib 150 can undergo elastic deformation to increase the deformation of the sealing ring, thereby enabling the sealing ring to achieve a better sealing effect between the water cup 200 and the drain pump 300 and the water distribution valve 400.

[0074] See Figure 7 As shown, the first rib 140 and the second rib 150 can both extend circumferentially along the sealing ring body 110 and form a closed ring. That is, the first rib 140 and the second rib 150 are continuous and connected end to end in a ring structure. This allows the first rib 140 and the second rib 150 to play a sealing role in the circumferential direction of the sealing ring structure 100, thereby effectively improving the overall sealing effect of the sealing ring structure 100.

[0075] See Figure 9 As shown, the cross-sectional shape of the protrusion 120 can be arc-shaped, and the cross-sectional shape of the concave portion 130 can also be arc-shaped. The arc-shaped protrusion 120 and concave portion 130 can easily undergo elastic deformation to increase the sealing effect of the sealing ring structure 100, thereby effectively improving the sealing effect between the water cup 200 and the drain pump 300 and the water distribution valve 400.

[0076] Furthermore, the arc-shaped protrusion 120 and concave portion 130 can reduce or avoid sharp corner structures in the sealing ring structure 100, thus preventing stress concentration.

[0077] Figure 10This is a schematic diagram of another sealing ring structure provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 11 A partial cross-sectional view of another sealing ring structure provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0078] See Figure 10 and Figure 11 As shown, the sealing ring structure 100 may also include a plurality of dividing ribs 160. The dividing ribs 160 may be located in the concave portion 130 and distributed at intervals along the circumference of the sealing ring body 110. The dividing ribs 160 may divide the cavity 131 into a plurality of mutually isolated sub-cavities 1311.

[0079] Each sub-cavity 1311 can form a sealed cavity independently. When the dishwasher 10 is running, the gas temperature in the sealed cavity formed by each sub-cavity 1311 can rise and expand, thereby effectively improving the sealing performance of the sealing ring structure 100.

[0080] In this embodiment, the sealing ring structure 100 may further include a third rib (not shown in the figure). The third rib may be located within the recess 130, and its protrusion direction and extension direction may be consistent with those of the first rib 140 and the second rib 150. During use, the third rib may be in an elastically compressed state to provide a seal between the water cup 200 and the drain pump 300 and the water distribution valve 400, thereby effectively improving the sealing effect between the water cup 200 and the drain pump 300 and the water distribution valve 400.

[0081] See Figure 2 As shown, the outer periphery of the first mounting port 210 may be provided with first screw ribs 230 at intervals, and the drain pump 300 may be provided with screws that cooperate with the first screws 330. The first screw ribs 230 can be locked in the first screws 330 so that the drain pump 300 and the water cup 200 can be connected through the cooperation of the first screws 330 and the first screw ribs 230.

[0082] This effectively improves the firmness and reliability of the connection between the first mounting head 310 and the first mounting port 210, and effectively prevents the drain pump 300 from separating from the water cup 200, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the water cup 200 and the drain pump 300.

[0083] See also Figure 2 As shown, the outer periphery of the second mounting port 220 may be provided with second screw ribs 240 at intervals, and the water distribution valve 400 may be provided with a screw that cooperates with the second screw 420. The second screw ribs 240 can be locked in the second screw 420 so that the water distribution valve 400 and the water cup 200 are connected through the cooperation of the second screw 420 and the second screw ribs 240.

[0084] This effectively improves the firmness and reliability of the connection between the second mounting head 410 and the second mounting port 220, and effectively prevents the water distribution valve 400 from separating from the water cup 200, thereby effectively improving the reliability and stability of the connection between the water cup 200 and the water distribution valve 400.

[0085] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a drainage pump provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0086] See Figure 12 As shown, the first mounting head 310 may also be provided with spaced-apart limiting ribs 320. The limiting ribs 320 may be located at one end of the first mounting head 310 near the first mounting opening 210, and the limiting ribs 320 may protrude from the first mounting head 310 in the radial direction. The sealing ring structure 100 may be mounted on the first mounting head 310, and the limiting ribs 320 may be used to limit the sealing ring structure 100 in the radial direction of the first mounting head 310.

[0087] For example, during the installation of the sealing ring, the sealing ring structure 100 can be first fitted onto the first mounting head 310, and then the first mounting head 310 and the sealing ring structure 100 can be inserted together into the first mounting opening 210. When the sealing ring is fitted onto the first mounting head 310, the limiting rib 320 protrudes radially from the first mounting head 310. This allows the limiting rib 320 to provide a limiting effect on the sealing ring structure 100, reducing or preventing the sealing ring structure 100 from falling off the first mounting head 310. This effectively improves the reliability and stability of the sealing ring structure 100 installed on the first mounting head 310.
