[0001] This application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202211136646.3 filed by Wuhu Midea Smart Kitchen Appliance Manufacturing CO., LTD. on September 16, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.FIELD

[0002] The invention relates to the field of household appliance technologies, and more particularly, to a dishwasher.BACKGROUND

[0003] A dishwasher includes an inner tub, a door body, and a basket. The basket can slide inside or outside the inner tub. An end of the inner tub close to the door body is provided with a sealing strip or a metallic frame. The sealing strip or the metallic frame seals an opening of the door body together with the door body, in such a manner that water vapor and heat in the dishwasher are prevented from overflowing through a gap between the door body and the inner tub when the dishwasher is operating with a door closed. When the basket is pushed from an outside of the inner tub into the inner tub, a deviation or an inclination may occur, and thus an end of the basket facing towards the inner tub may collide with the sealing strip or the metallic frame, causing the basket to be pushed in not smoothly. In this way, use experience of a user is affected, and the sealing strip or the metallic frame is even deformed.SUMMARY

[0004] The invention provides a dishwasher to solve a technical problem where when a basket is pushed into an inner tub and experiences a deviation or an inclination, the basket collides with a sealing strip. Such a collision causes the basket to be pushed in not smoothly, affecting the use experience of a user, and even causing a sealing frame at which the sealing strip is mounted to be deformed.

[0005] To solve the above-described technical problem, the invention provides a dishwasher. The dishwasher includes: a main body having an accommodation space and including a first track and an edge member, the accommodation space having an opening, and the first track being located in the accommodation space; a door body arranged to cover the opening in an openable and closable manner and including a second track, the second track being located at an inner side of the door body, when the door body is opened from the main body, a slot being formed between the first track and the second track, and the edge member being located in the slot, and when the door body covers the opening, the edge member being configured to seal the accommodation space together with the door body; a basket; and a mobile assembly, including: a mobile assembly body configured to bear the basket; a movable member movably connected to the mobile assembly body and configured to drive the basket to move along the first track and / or the second track; and a correction member at least partially located in front of the movable member in a direction from the movable member towards the accommodation space, when the correction member is in contact with the edge member, the edge member or the mobile assembly being displaced or deformed to avoid or reduce contact of the movable member with the edge member in the slot.

[0006] In the invention, the dishwasher includes the main body, the door body, the basket, and the mobile assembly. The mobile assembly includes the mobile assembly body, the movable member, and the correction member. The mobile assembly body is configured to bear the basket. The movable member is movably connected to the mobile assembly body and configured to drive the basket to move along the first track in the main body and / or the second track in the door body. The correction member is at least partially located in front of the movable member in the direction from the movable member towards the accommodation space. When the correction member is in contact with the edge member of the main body, the edge member or the mobile assembly is displaced or deformed to avoid or reduce the contact of the movable member with the edge member in the slot. In this way, the mobile assembly can be guided to be smoothly pushed into the accommodation space of the main body, improving the use experience of the user. In addition, a frontal collision with the edge member is avoided to prevent damage to the edge member.BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0008] Reference to "an embodiment" herein means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of the invention. The appearance of the phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art, both explicitly and implicitly, that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments. A mobile assembly and a dishwasher provided in the invention will be described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0009] Reference can be made to FIG. 1, FIG. 2, and FIG. 3. FIG. 1 is a schematic structural view of a dishwasher according to the invention. FIG. 2 is a schematic structural view of part A illustrated in FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a schematic partial view of a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the invention. In the invention, a dishwasher 100 is provided. The dishwasher 100 includes a main body 20, a door body 30, and a basket 40. The main body 20 has an accommodation space 201 and includes a first track 202 and an edge member 50. The basket 40 is configured to bear various types of tableware. The basket 40 is disposed at the main body 20, and can be pulled out of or pushed into the accommodation space 201 along the first track 202 under a driving force from a human, a motor, or the like. The accommodation space 201 may further be internally provided with a spray arm. The spray arm is configured to spray water towards the basket 40 and various types of carriers at the basket 40, for washing different types of tableware. The accommodation space 201 has an opening 2011. The edge member 50 is located at the opening 2011 in the accommodation space 201.

[0010] The door body 30 is arranged to cover the opening 2011 in an openable and closable manner. When opened from the main body 20, the door body 30 extends, leaving the opening 2011 uncovered. When the door body 30 is closed at the main body 20, the opening 2011 can be covered. The door body 30 includes a second track 301 located at a side surface of the door body 30 facing towards the accommodation space 201. When the door body 30 is opened from the main body 20, a slot 60 is formed between the first track 202 and the second track 301. The edge member 50 is located in the slot 60. The edge member 50 seals the accommodation space 201 together with the door body 30 when the door body 30 covers the opening 2011.

[0011] The dishwasher 100 further includes a mobile assembly 10. The mobile assembly 10 includes a mobile assembly body 1, a movable member 2, and a correction member 3. The mobile assembly body 1 is configured to bear the basket 40. When an external force is applied on the basket 40, the mobile assembly body 1 can move along with the movement of the basket 40. The movable member 2 is movably connected to the mobile assembly body 1. The movable member 2 is rotatable or slidable relative to the mobile assembly body 1, and is configured to drive the basket 40 to move along the first track 202 and / or the second track 301. When the basket 40 is pushed into the accommodation space, the movable member 2 rotates or slides in a direction illustrated by arrow X in FIG. 3. The correction member 3 is at least partially located in front of the movable member 2 in a direction from the movable member 2 towards the accommodation space 201.

[0012] In a process of pushing the basket 40 into the accommodation space 201, the movable member 2 rotates or slides along the second track 301, passes through the slot 60, and then rotates or slides along the first track 202. When the movable member 2 passes through the slot 60, since there is no trajectory guidance along a track and the second track 301 is designed with a margin for the movable member 2 to move in a non-movement direction, the movable member 2 may drive the basket 40 to move in a direction not parallel to the first track 202 and / or the second track 301, which makes the basket 40 collide with the edge member 50 located in the slot 60. Since the correction member 3 is located in front of the movable member 2, the correction member 3 first comes into contact with, e.g., collides with, the edge member 50. When the correction member 3 is in contact with the edge member 50, the edge member 50 or the mobile assembly 10 is displaced or deformed to avoid or reduce contact of the movable member 2, which is located behind the correction member 3, with the edge member 50 in the slot 60. In this way, the mobile assembly 10 can be guided to be smoothly pushed into the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20, improving use experience of a user. In addition, a frontal collision with the edge member 50 is avoided to prevent damage to the edge member 50.

[0013] It should be noted that the first track 202 and the second track 301 provide trajectory guidance for the mobile assembly 10, specifically the movable member 2, during pulling the basket 40 out of or into the accommodation space 201. The door body 30 is connected to the main body 20 in an openable and closable manner, and has a certain thickness. Therefore, when the door body 30 is opened, the slot 60 is formed between the second track 301 disposed at an inner side of the door body 30 and the first track 202 inside the main body 20. In this way, the first track 202 and the second track 301 cannot be seamlessly connected, leading to discontinuity in the first track 202 and the second track 301.

[0014] In some embodiments, the movable member 2 has a translational margin in a width direction (a direction perpendicular to a track direction) of the first track 202 and the second track 301. By bringing the correction member 3 into contact with the edge member 50, the correction member 3 may cause the mobile assembly 10 and the basket 40 borne by the mobile assembly 10 to move along the track in the width direction. Assuming that there is no correction member 3, the movable mobile 2 may collide with the edge member 50 (such as a sealing strip). With a correction provided by the correction member 3, the movable member 2 also translates in the width direction perpendicular to a track extension direction while moving along the first track 202, the second track 301, or the slot 60 in the track extension direction, avoiding the edge member 50, or reducing the contact with or a force exerted on the edge member 50.

[0015] The correction member 3 may include at least one of a guide portion 31 and a first roller 38. For example, the correction member 3 may include the guide portion 31. Alternatively, the correction member 3 may include the first roller 38. Alternatively, the correction member 3 includes both the guide portion 31 and the first roller 38. When the guide portion 31 and the first roller 38 exist simultaneously, the guide portion 31 plays a leading role, while the first roller 38 plays a secondary role, or the first roller 38 plays the leading role, while the guide portion 31 plays the secondary role. The correction member 3 can guide the mobile assembly 10 to be smoothly pushed into the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 through the guide portion 31 and / or the first roller 38, which improves the use experience of the user. In addition, damage to the edge member 50 by the frontal collision with the edge member 50 is avoided.

[0016] Reference can be made to FIG. 4, FIG. 5, and FIG. 6. FIG. 4 is a schematic partial view of a dishwasher according to an embodiment of the invention. FIG. 5 is a schematic structural view of a mobile assembly according to a first embodiment of the invention, viewed from a first perspective. FIG. 6 is a schematic exploded view of the mobile assembly illustrated in FIG. 5. In combination with FIG. 1 and FIG. 2, it is assumed that an edge side of the first track 202 and / or the second track 301 facing towards the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 is an outer track side 301a, and an edge side of the first track 202 and / or the second track 301 facing away from the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 is an inner track side 301b.

[0017] Related solutions of the correction member 3 in the dishwasher 100 will be described in detail below. As in a first embodiment, the correction member 3 includes the guide portion 31 having a first inclined surface 311 facing towards a side surface of the outer track side 301a. A direction from the second track 301 towards the first track 202 is a first direction. A direction from the outer track side 301a towards the inner track side 301b is a second direction. The first inclined surface 311 extends from an end of the first inclined surface 311 close to the movable member 2 towards the first direction while being biased towards the second direction. In other words, the first inclined surface 311 has both a component in the first direction and a component in the second direction from a proximal end of the first inclined surface 311 relative to the movable member 2 towards a distal end of the first inclined surface 311 relative to the movable member 2. As a result, when the distal end of the first inclined surface 311 relative to the movable member 2 first comes into contact with the edge member 50, the edge member 50 is pushed by an external force to move towards the first track 202 while being in contact with the inclined surface 311. Since a direction of the first inclined surface 311 has the component in the second direction, the mobile assembly body 1 and the movable member 2 connected to the mobile assembly body 1 move towards the inner track side 301b, that is, away from the edge member 50, in a process of being pushed by the external force to move towards the first track 202, which avoids or at least reduces the contact of the movable member 2 with the edge member 50.

[0018] In addition, the end of the first inclined surface 311 close to the movable member, i.e., the proximal end mentioned above, protrudes beyond or is flush with the movable member 2. In a case where the first inclined surface 311 abuts with the edge member 50, when the mobile assembly 10 continues to be pushed into the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20, movement trajectories of the movable member 2 and the basket 40 can be pre-changed based on a positional relationship between the first inclined surface 311 and the movable member 2 when the movable member 2 reaches a region around the edge member 50, in such a manner that the moveable member 2 has a movement component in a direction facing towards the inner track side 301b. In this way, a collision with the edge member 50 is avoided, which reduces the possibility of a direct frontal collision between the mobile assembly 10 and the edge member 50, further improving the use experience of the user.

[0019] It should be noted that, in the above description, each of the movable member 2 and the basket 40 is moved in a transverse direction (which is perpendicular to the track extension direction). In other embodiments, the edge member 50 is moved in the transverse direction. In any case, as long as the edge member 50 and the movable member 2 move away from each other in the transverse direction, the collision between the edge member 50 and the movable member 2 that may occur without the guide portion 31 can be avoided. In other embodiments, since the edge member 50 undergoes a recoverable (memorable) deformation due to contact with the guide portion 31, the deformation of the edge member 50 achieves an avoidance of the movable member 2 when the movable member 2 moves to the region around the edge member 50. The edge member 50 is restored to its original shape after the basket 40 is pushed into an inner tub.

[0020] In the first embodiment, the first inclined surface 311 has a first roller opening 3111. The correction member 3 further includes the first roller 38. The first roller 38 is disposed at the first roller opening 3111 to mount the first roller 38. A rolling direction of the first roller 38 is parallel to a movement direction of the movable member 2. The first roller 38 and the movable member 2 move simultaneously. When the first roller 38 is in contact with the edge member 50, the first roller 38 and the edge member 50 rotate relatively. During a rotation of the first roller 38, a compression between the first roller 38 and the edge member 50 causes the movable member 2 and the edge member 50 to move away from each other in the transverse direction (which is perpendicular to the track extension direction), which avoids or reduces the contact between the movable member 2 and the edge member 50, enabling the mobile assembly 10 to be smoothly pushed into the accommodation space 201. The first roller 38 rotates in a direction illustrated by arrow a in FIG. 3. In an absence of the correction member 3, when the mobile assembly 10 is pushed into the accommodation space 201 and the movable member 2 is in contact with the edge member 50, a friction force is generated since contact surfaces between the movable member 2 and the edge member 50 are in non-rolling contact.

[0021] In this embodiment, by means of rolling contact, the first roller opening 3111 makes the correction member 3 and the edge member 50 no longer subject to a resistance of the friction force, or greatly reduces the friction force. As a result, a resistance that needs to be resisted when pushing the basket 40 into place is significantly reduced. Specifically, a first circumference 381 of the first roller 38 is in rolling contact with the edge member 50 when the first roller 38 is in contact with the edge member 50.

[0022] When the mobile assembly 10 is pushed into the accommodation space 201, and the basket 40 is slightly deviated due to a separation of the movable member 2 from the second track 301, the first roller 38 first comes into contact with the edge member 50. When the basket 40 is severely deviated, the first inclined surface 311 of the guide portion 31 first comes into contact with the edge member 50, and then the first roller 38 is brought into contact with the edge member 50 under guidance of the first inclined surface 311, to asymptotically change the movement trajectories of the movable member 2 and the basket 40. That is, regardless of whether the basket 40 is slightly deviated or severely deviated, the basket 40 can smoothly enter the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 under mutual cooperation between the guide portion 31 and the first roller 38, improving the use experience of the user.

[0023] An acute angle is formed between an extension direction of the first inclined surface 311 from an end of the first inclined surface 311 close to the movable member 2 and the first direction, and may range from 1° to 89°. In some embodiments, an angle between the extension direction of the first inclined surface 311 and an extension direction of the second track 301 may be 10°, 23°, 30°, 45°, etc. The angle between the extension direction of the first inclined surface 311 and the extension direction of the second track 301 may be determined as desired, and is not limited here.

[0024] As illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, in the first embodiment, the correction member 3 includes a guide support 33. The guide portion 31 is resilient. A magnitude of resilience of the guide portion 31 can be set as desired. The mobile assembly body 1 is disposed at an end of the guide support 33 in a direction of moving out of the accommodation space 201. The guide portion 31 has an end connected to an end of the guide support 33 facing towards the accommodation space 201 and another end formed as a free end. The guide portion 31 and the guide support 33 may be fixedly connected or integrally formed. Further, the first circumference 381 of the first roller 38 protrudes beyond the first inclined surface 311.

[0025] In an embodiment, when the mobile assembly 10 is pushed into the accommodation space 201, the guide portion 31 abuts with the edge member 50 and is deformed by a force to approach the guide support 33. When the guide portion 31 is released from abutting with the edge member 50, the guide portion 31 is restored to an original state due to a force and can reciprocate, as illustrated by bidirectional arrow b in FIG. 3. With the guide portion 31, softer abutment is achieved between the guide portion 31 and the edge member 50, and movement directions of the mobile assembly 10 and the basket 40 can be softly corrected. In this way, smoothness and softness of pushing the mobile assembly 10 into the accommodation space 201 are improved, further improving the use experience of the user. The guide portion 31 is made of a resilient material or plastic.

[0026] In short, the guide portion 31 provides trajectory guidance for the movable member 2 and / or the edge member 5 through the inclined surface 311, reduces a contact resistance between the mobile assembly 10 and the edge member 50 through the first roller 38, and reduces a contact collision force with the edge member 50 through a resilient property of the guide portion 31. Smooth pushing of the basket 40 into the accommodation space 201 is facilitated from above three aspects. It should be declared that any one, two, or all of these three aspects can be adopted, all of which belong to the technical solutions of the invention.

[0027] In some embodiments, the first roller 38 is rotatably mounted in the first roller opening 3111. The first circumference 381 of the first roller 38 protrudes beyond the first inclined surface 311. When the first roller 38 abuts with the edge member 50, the first roller 38 starts to rotate, which causes the mobile assembly 10 and the edge member 50 to move away from each other in the transverse direction (which is perpendicular to the track extension direction) or deform away from each other (i.e., recesses are formed at opposite surfaces of the mobile assembly 10 and the edge member 50), and thus the mobile assembly 10 is smoothly pushed into the accommodation space 201. When the basket 40 is pushed into the accommodation space 201, the first roller 38 rotates in the direction illustrated by the arrow a in FIG. 3.

[0028] As illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 5, in some specific embodiments, the guide portion 31 has the first roller opening 3111 for mounting the first roller 38. The guide portion 31 has a first connection portion 313 and a second connection portion 314 that are spaced apart from each other from top to bottom. A space defined by the first connection portion 313 and the second connection portion 314 is formed as the first roller opening 3111 in the guide portion 31. In addition, an interference-fit fastener 315 is disposed on each of two opposite surfaces of the first connection portion 313 and the second connection portion 314. An entrance of the interference-fit fastener 315 faces towards the outer track side 301a. Two ends of a rotary shaft of the first roller 38 are snapped with the first connection portion 313 and the second connection portion 314 through the entrances of the interference-fit fasteners 315, respectively. With the above-described manner, quick mounting and maintenance of the first roller 38 are facilitated, in such a manner that the mobile assembly 10 has a simple structure and is easy to be operated and mounted.

[0029] In some specific embodiments, the entrances of the two interference-fit fasteners 315 are arranged obliquely. A distance between the entrances of the two interference-fit fasteners 315 gradually increases in a direction from the rotary shaft of the first roller 38 towards the first circumference 381 of the first roller 38. By compressing the first roller 38, the two ends of the rotary shaft of the first roller 38 slide into the first connection portion 313 and the second connection portion 314, respectively, through the two interference-fit fasteners 315 arranged in the above manner. In this way, quick mounting and fixation of the first roller 38 are realized. In some embodiments, the first connection portion 313 has a first connection hole, and the second connection portion 314 has a second connection hole. The two ends of the rotary shaft of the first roller 38 slide into the first connection hole and the second connection hole, respectively, through the two interference-fit fasteners 315 that are arranged opposite to each other.

[0030] Specifically, a rebound space 34 is formed between the guide support 33 and the guide portion 31 that is resilient. The rebound space 34 provides a space for a reciprocating movement of the guide portion 31 and mounting of the first roller 38. When the guide portion 31 is subjected to a force, the guide portion 31 enters the rebound space 34, which facilitates the reciprocating movement of the guide portion 31 and improves cushioning performance of the guide portion 31. In addition, the first circumference 381 of the first roller 38 protrudes beyond the rebound space 34, which facilitates preferential rolling contact of the first roller 38 with the edge member 50, and reduces resistance that needs to be resisted when the mobile assembly 10 and the edge member 50 move relatively.

[0031] Reference can be made to FIG. 7, FIG. 8, and FIG. 9. FIG. 7 is a schematic structural view of a mobile assembly according to a second embodiment of the invention, viewed from a second perspective. FIG. 8 is a top view of a mobile assembly according to a second embodiment of the invention. FIG. 9 is a side view of a mobile assembly according to a second embodiment of the invention. As illustrated in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4, in another first embodiment, the correction member 3 includes a fixing portion 35 connected to a side surface of the guide portion 31 facing away from the first inclined surface 311. The fixing portion 35 has a placement groove 351 for accommodating the first roller 38. The fixing portion 35 has a first fixing groove 352 and a second fixing groove 353 opposite to the first fixing groove 352. The first roller 38 is rotatably disposed in the placement groove 351. The rotary shaft of the first roller 38 is snapped with and interference-fitted with each of the first fixing groove 352 and the second fixing groove 353. The first circumference 381 of the first roller 38 protrudes beyond the first inclined surface 311. With the above-described manner, quick mounting and maintenance of the first roller 38 are facilitated, in such a manner that the mobile assembly 10 has a simple structure and is easy to be operated and mounted.

[0032] The mobile assembly 10 can be guided to be smoothly pushed into the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 according to both the embodiment where the fixing portion 35 is disposed in the mobile assembly 10 and the embodiment where the guide portion 31 is disposed in the mobile assembly 10, improving the use experience of the user. In addition, a frontal collision with an edge of the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 is avoided, preventing the edge of the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 from being damaged. In the embodiment where the fixing portion 35 is disposed in the mobile assembly 10, the mobile assembly 10 has a more stable and firm structure and a stronger guiding ability, which can prolong a service life. In the embodiment where the guide portion 31 is disposed in the mobile assembly 10, the mobile assembly 10 can provide softer guidance and a smaller impact force from the frontal collision is realized. A selection of the above two embodiments of the mobile assembly 10 can be determined as desired, and is not limited herein.

[0033] Reference can be made to FIG. 10. FIG. 10 is a first schematic partial view of a dishwasher according to the invention. As illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 9, in the first embodiment, the correction member 3 includes a limit portion 36 connected to an end of the guide portion 31 adjacent to the movable member 2. The limit portion 36 has a limit surface 361 at a top of the limit portion 36. The limit surface 361 is higher than a highest part of a second circumference 21 in the movable member 2. A track limit portion 203 is formed in the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20 at a position corresponding to and above the second track 301. The track limit portion 203 is engaged with the limit surface 361 of the limit portion 36. With the limit surface 361 in the limit portion 36, a risk that the basket 40 is tilted can be reduced.

[0034] When the mobile assembly 10 bearing the basket 40 is completely pushed into the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20, the mobile assembly 10 is also completely pushed into the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20. In this case, the limit surface 361 in the limit portion 36 abuts with the track limit portion 203 to prevent an occurrence that when the basket 40 is pulled out, a rear end of the basket 40 is tilted since an external force is not parallel to the track extension direction, e.g., the external force faces towards the first track direction and is biased downwards, further improving the use experience of the user. When the basket 40 and the mobile assembly 10 of the dishwasher move out of the accommodation space 201, the limit surface 361 in the mobile assembly 10 is released from being engaged with the track limit portion 203. The limit portion 36 and the guide portion 31 may be integrally formed or fixedly connected, etc., which is not limited here.

[0035] As illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 9, specifically, the guide portion 31 has a second inclined surface 312 at a top of the guide portion 31. The first inclined surface 311 is connected to the second inclined surface 312. The second inclined surface 312 is arranged obliquely. An end of the second inclined surface 312 facing towards the movable member 2 is higher than an end of the second inclined surface 312 facing away from the movable member 2. In addition, the end of the second inclined surface 312 facing towards the movable member 2 is connected to an end of the limit surface 361 facing away from the movable member 2. The end of the second inclined surface 312 facing towards the movable member 2 is flush with an end of the limit surface 361 facing towards the movable member 2. By obliquely arranging the second inclined surface 312 and connecting the second inclined surface 312 to the limit surface 361, the second inclined surface 312 provides guidance to guide the limit surface to abut with the track limit portion 203, preventing tilting of the basket 40.

[0036] As illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 9, in the first embodiment, the correction member 3 includes a protection portion 37 disposed at the end of the guide portion 31 adjacent to the movable member 2. The protection portion 37 extends in the extension direction of the second track 301. A surface of the protection portion 37 facing towards the outer track side 301a is connected to a surface of the guide portion 31 facing towards the outer track side 301a. The protection portion 37 finally rests on a surface of the movable member 2 facing towards the outer track side 301a when subjected to a force. The protection portion 37 and a state of the protection portion 37 after being subjected to the force can prevent the edge member 50 or the like from entering a gap between the guide portion 31 and the movable member 2, and avoid a direct frontal collision between the movable member 2 and the edge member 50. In this way, the use experience of the user is improved, and damage to the edge member 50 is reduced.

[0037] The surface of the protection portion 37 facing towards the outer track side 301a and the surface of the guide portion 31 facing towards the outer track side 301a may be connected in two transition manners. As in a specific embodiment, the surface of the protection portion 37 facing towards the outer track side 301a is connected to the surface of the guide portion 31 facing towards the outer track side 301a in a smooth transition manner. In another specific embodiment, the surface of the protection portion 37 facing towards the outer track side 301a is connected to the surface of the guide portion 31 facing towards the outer track side 301a in a rounded transition manner. Through the smooth or rounded transition manner, a sliding friction force between the guide portion 31 and the edge member 50 can be reduced, and movement smoothness of the mobile assembly 10, the basket 40, and the like can be improved, further improving the use experience of the user. The protection portion 37 and the guide portion 31 may be integrally formed or fixedly connected, etc. In some implementations, the protection portion 37 protrudes beyond or is flush with the movable member 2.

[0038] In an actual process, the protection portion 37 and the limit portion 36 may exist simultaneously. For example, the limit portion 36 located at a top part of the protection portion 37 can provide the limit surface 361. In addition, the protection portion 37 can finally rest against the surface of the movable member 2 facing towards the outer track side 301a when subjected to a first reaction force. In this way, the protection portion 37 and the limit portion 36 simultaneously prevent the edge member 50 and the like from entering the gap between the guide portion 31 and the movable member 2, and avoid the direct frontal collision between the movable member 2 and the edge member 50. In addition, the basket 40 can be limited to prevent tilting of the basket 40. When the protection portion 37 and the limit portion 36 exist simultaneously, the protection portion 37 and the limit portion 36 are fixedly connected or integrally formed, which is not limited here. Of course, in the actual process, in addition to a part of the limit portion 36 being disposed at a top of the protection portion 37, another part of the limit portion 36 may be disposed at the top of the guide portion 31.

[0039] As illustrated in FIG. 3 to FIG. 9, in the first embodiment, the movable member 2 is a second roller. An end of the protection portion 37 close to the second roller is in an arc shape matching a shape of the second roller. When the guide portion 31 and the protection portion 37 at the guide portion 31 are subjected to a force, the protection portion 37 can avoid a surface of the second circumference 21 of the second roller to prevent the protection portion 37 from interfering with a movement of the second roller. In an actual process, when the edge member 50 abuts with each of the guide portion 31 and the first roller 38, a presence of the protection portion 37 makes it difficult to directly collide with the second circumference 21 of the second roller. Further, since a gap between the protection portion 37 and the second circumference 21 of the second roller is sufficiently small, the sealing strip is less likely to enter the gap between the protection portion 37 and the second circumference 21 of the second roller, and to affect the second roller.

[0040] Specifically, an axis of the second roller is perpendicular to an axis of the first roller 38 and the second track 301. The axis of the second roller is perpendicular to the second track 301 along which the second roller can roll. The axis of the second roller is perpendicular to the axis of the first roller 38, enabling a friction force exerted by the edge member 50 on an axial surface (not the second circumference 21) of the second roller to be converted into rolling at a surface of the first circumference 381 of the first roller 38, in such a manner that a resistance that needs to be resisted is greatly reduced. With the above-described manner, the first circumference 381 of the first roller 38 can face the edge member 50 directly and rotate head-on to reduce the friction force. In this way, the movement smoothness of the mobile assembly 10 is improved, improving the use experience.

[0041] As illustrated in FIG. 3 to FIG. 9, in one of the above specific embodiments, the guide support 33, the guide portion 31, the limit portion 36, the protection portion 37, and the like in the correction member 3 may be integrally formed. In another specific embodiment, the guide support 33, the guide portion 31, the fixing portion 35, the limit portion 36, the protection portion 37, and the like in the correction member 3 may be integrally formed.

[0042] In the first embodiment, the mobile assembly 10 includes a first fixing member 11 and a second fixing member 12. Both the first fixing member 11 and the second fixing member 12 are disposed at the mobile assembly body 1. The first fixing member 11 is disposed at the mobile assembly body 1. The first fixing member 11 is detachably connected to the basket 40. The second fixing member 12 is disposed at a side surface of the mobile assembly body 1 facing towards an outer side of the second track 301. The movable member 2 is mounted at the mobile assembly body 1 through the second fixing member 12.

[0043] Specifically, the first fixing member 11 is a first fixing claw 111. The first fixing claw 111 is engaged with a side edge of the basket 40 and is configured to bear the basket 40. The second fixing member 12 is a second fixing claw 121. The second fixing claw 121 penetrates the movable member 2 and is snapped into the movable member 2. With the first fixing claw 111 and the second fixing claw 121, quick mounting and detachment of the mobile assembly 10 and the basket 40 are realized.

[0044] Reference can be made to FIG. 11 and FIG. 12. FIG. 11 is a second schematic partial view of a dishwasher according to the invention. FIG. 12 is a schematic structural view of part B illustrated in FIG. 11. As illustrated in FIG. 2 to FIG. 9, as in the second embodiment, the correction member 3 includes the first roller 38. The first roller 38 moves with the mobile assembly body 1 in the mobile assembly 10 and the basket 40.

[0045] A surface of the first roller 38 facing towards the outer track side 301a protrudes beyond or is flush with the surface of the movable member 2 facing towards the outer track side 301a. The rolling direction of the first roller 38 is parallel to an extension direction of the first track 202 or the extension direction of the second track 301. The first circumference of the first roller 38 is in rolling contact with the edge member 50 when the first roller 38 is in contact with the edge member 50.

[0046] When the first roller 38 is in contact with the edge member 50, the first roller 38 starts to rotate. In an absence of the first roller 38, when the movable member 2 is in contact with the edge member 50, a relative movement between the movable member 2 and the edge member 50 is a frictional movement with a large resistance. With the first roller 38, frictional contact between the movable member 2 and the edge member 50 is converted into the rolling contact between the first roller 38 and the edge member 50, which greatly reduces a resistance that needs to be resisted for the relative movement, and enables the mobile assembly 10 to be smoothly pushed into the accommodation space 201. When the basket 40 is pushed into the accommodation space 201, the first roller 38 rotates in the direction illustrated by the arrow a in FIG. 3.

[0047] In the second embodiment, the first roller 38 protrudes beyond the movable member 2. Alternatively, the first roller 38 is flush with the movable member 2. When the mobile assembly 10 is pushed into the accommodation space 201, the edge member 50 is in rolling contact with the first roller 38, in such a manner that the movable member 2 and the basket 4 move away from the edge member 50 in the transverse direction (which is perpendicular to the track extension direction), achieving an avoidance of the movable member 2. An original collision that is likely to occur is avoided or reduced through a protrusion of the first roller 38, which facilitates smooth pushing of the mobile assembly 10 into the accommodation space 201, reducing damage to the edge member 50 by the movable member 2.

[0048] In the second embodiment, the protection portion 37 is disposed between the first roller 38 and the movable member 2. The protection portion 37 protrudes beyond or is flush with the movable member 2. The protection portion 37 extends in the first direction. The protection portion 37 finally rests against the surface of the movable member 2 facing towards the outer track side 301a when subjected to the force. The state of the protection portion 37 subjected to the force can prevent the edge member 50 or the like from entering the gap between the guide portion 31 and the movable member 2, and avoid the direct frontal collision between the movable member 2 and the edge member 50. In this way, the use experience of the user is improved, and damage to the edge member 50 is reduced.

[0049] Specifically, the correction member 3 includes the guide portion 31. The surface of the protection portion 37 facing towards the outer track side 301a is connected to the surface of the guide portion 31 in the smooth / rounded transition manner. The protection portion 37 finally rests against the surface of the movable member 2 facing towards the outer track side 301a when subjected to the force. As in a specific embodiment, the surface of the protection portion 37 facing towards the outer track side 301a is connected to the surface of the guide portion 31 facing towards the outer track side 301a in the smooth transition manner. In another specific embodiment, the surface of the protection portion 37 facing towards the outer track side 301a is connected to the surface of the guide portion 31 facing towards the outer track side 301a in the rounded transition manner. Through the smooth or rounded transition manner, the sliding friction force between the guide portion 31 and the edge member 50 can be reduced, and the movement smoothness of the mobile assembly 10, the basket 40, and the like can be improved, further improving the use experience of the user. The protection portion 37 and the guide portion 31 may be integrally formed or fixedly connected, etc.

[0050] In some implementations, the protection portion 37 protrudes beyond or is flush with the movable member 2. The movable member 2 is the second roller. The second roller rotates relative to the basket 40. The first roller rotates relative to the mobile assembly body 1. An axial direction of the second roller is perpendicular to an axial direction of the first roller 38. The rolling direction of the first roller 38 is parallel to a rolling direction of the second roller. The first roller 38 can roll along with the rolling of the second roller. With the above cooperation between the first roller 38 and the second roller, the first circumference 381 of the first roller 38 can face the edge member 50 directly and rotate head-on to reduce the friction force. In this way, the movement smoothness of the mobile assembly 10 is improved, improving the use experience.

[0051] In the second embodiment, the guide portion 31 has the first inclined surface 311. The direction from the second track 301 to the first track 202 is the first direction. The direction from the outer track side 301a to the inner track side 301b is the second direction. The first inclined surface 311 extends from the end of the first inclined surface 311 close to the movable member 2 towards the first direction while being biased towards the second direction. The end of the first inclined surface 311 facing towards and close to the movable member 2 protrudes beyond or is flush with the movable member 2. The first inclined surface 311 has the first roller opening 3111. The first roller 38 is disposed at the first roller opening 3111. The guide portion 31 has a same structure as the guide portion 31 mentioned in the first embodiment, and thus details thereof will be omitted here.

[0052] In the actual process, the guide support 33, the guide portion 31, the rebound space 34, the fixing portion 35, the limit portion 36, the protection portion 37, and the like described in the first embodiment can be applied to the second embodiment, and thus details thereof will be omitted here. In the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the edge member 50 may be a seal 501. Alternatively, the edge member 50 is a metallic frame body 502 internally provided with the seal 501. In this way, the mobile assembly 10 can provide guidance and straightening through contact with the seal 501 or the metallic frame body 502.

[0053] Two mobile assemblies 10 are provided, and are disposed at two sides of a bottom of the basket 40, respectively. The basket 40 slides at the main body 20 through the two mobile assemblies 10. In an embodiment, a plurality pairs of mobile assemblies 10 are symmetrically disposed at two sides of the basket 40, while the correction member 3 is merely disposed in front of one pair of mobile assemblies 10 facing towards an end of the accommodation space 201 (the expression "in front of" here refers to a direction pointing towards the accommodation space 201, which is also referred to as the direction from the second track 301 to the first track 202). Of course, in the actual process, the mobile assembly body 1 and the correction member 3 may be disposed separately from the movable member 2. The mobile assembly body 1 and the correction member 3 may be disposed at an end of the movable member 2 facing towards the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20. The guide portion 31 abuts with the edge member 50 in the main body 20 before the movable member 2 collides with the edge of the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20. The mobile assembly 10 provides guidance through the guide portion 31. With the mobile assembly 10, the dishwasher 100 can correct a movement direction of the basket 40 to avoid a deviation. In addition, the basket 40 can be guided to be smoothly pushed into the accommodation space 201 of the main body 20, improving the use experience of the user. Further, damage to the edge member 50 by the frontal collision between the mobile assembly 10 and the edge member 50 in the main body 20 is avoided.
