For example, A and / or B can indicate three cases: A exists independently, both A and B exist, and B exists independently. The symbol " / " usually indicates that the relationship between associated objects is an "or" relationship.

[0041] Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this disclosure pertains. The terms used herein are employed only to describe the embodiments of this disclosure and are not intended to limit the disclosure. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0042] A dishwasher is a machine that automatically washes tableware such as bowls, chopsticks, plates, small plates, knives, and forks. Conventional dishwashers are usually equipped with a liquid storage structure for storing detergent, and the detergent is transported through an input pipe into the washing chamber of the dishwasher body, where it is used to wash dishes.

[0043] In the related art, the supply line between the liquid storage structure and the washing chamber is long, so the detergent liquid is likely to remain in the supply line after being supplied, and if it accumulates for a long period of time, it is likely to become clogged, which will affect the cleaning effect of the dishwasher.

[0044] To solve the above problems, referring to Figures 1 to 3, the present disclosure provides a dishwasher 100. In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the dishwasher 100 includes a body 10, a water supply structure 20, a liquid storage structure 30, and a communication structure 40. The water supply structure 20 is configured to supply fresh water for the washing process of the dishwasher 100. The liquid storage structure 30 is configured to store detergent, which is mixed with the fresh water during the washing process of the dishwasher 100 to wash dishes.

[0045] The body 10 may have a rectangular parallelepiped structure, and has a washing chamber (not shown) and a storage chamber 10A inside the body 10. The washing chamber is configured to hold tableware, and the storage chamber 10A is configured to store the water supply structure 20 and the communication structure 40. This prevents the water supply structure 20 and the communication structure 40 from being exposed to the outside, improving protection for the water supply structure 20 and the communication structure 40.

[0046] The water supply structure 20 may be directly connected to an external water source port as a pipe structure to realize the supply of fresh water during the washing process of the dishwasher 100, or the water supply structure 20 may have a water storage function, which stores fresh water so that there is no need to wash from the external water source port every time a washing process is performed, and can adapt to the situation where the external water source port is cut off.

[0047] The liquid storage structure 30 is provided on the outside of the machine body 10 and has a liquid storage chamber configured to store detergent. The liquid storage structure 30 may be shaped like a rectangular block to facilitate manufacturing and installation, and the main structure of the liquid storage structure 30 may be made of a transparent plastic material, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), or polycarbonate (PC). This allows the user to directly observe the remaining amount of liquid in the liquid storage chamber from the outside and obtain information about the liquid level in the liquid storage structure 30, which is more convenient and improves the user experience. Of course, the main structure of the liquid storage structure 30 may also be made of a metal material.

[0048] The communication structure 40 includes a first port 411, a second port 421, and a third port 412 that communicate with each other. That is, the communication structure 40 may be a conductive structure with multiple ports, such as a three-way or four-way pipe. The first port 411 communicates with the liquid storage structure 30, the second port 421 communicates with the water supply structure 20, and the third port 412 communicates with the cleaning chamber. The openings of the first port 411, the second port 421, and the third port 412 may have the same shape and size. In this way, the ports of the communication structure 40, the water supply structure 20, the communication structure 40, and the cleaning chamber can be changed as desired, thereby improving installation convenience and efficiency.

[0049] The dishwasher 100 of the present disclosure is provided with a communication structure 40 having a first port 411, a second port 421, and a third port 412 that are all connected to one another. This allows the user to first place detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 outside the machine body 10, and then inject the detergent from the liquid storage structure 30 into the communication structure 40 through the first port 411. At the same time, the water flow from the water supply structure 20 is injected into the communication structure 40 through the second port 421, thereby propelling the detergent from the communication structure 40 along the third port 412 and into the washing chamber. In this way, the detergent injection process is completed.

[0050] As described above, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, from the viewpoint of operational convenience, the liquid storage structure 30 is located outside the machine body 10, so that the user does not need to open the wash chamber when adding detergent, making the liquid addition operation simple and quick, and also making it easy to clean the liquid storage structure 30. At the same time, from the viewpoint of the cleaning effect of the dishwasher 100, when the detergent from the liquid storage structure 30 is added to the communicating structure 40, the detergent remaining inside the communicating structure 40 is washed away in combination with the introduction of water flow from the water supply structure 20, thereby effectively reducing the condensation of the detergent inside the communicating structure 40 and reducing the possibility of the detergent remaining inside the communicating structure 40 causing clogging, thereby improving the accuracy of the detergent addition amount of the dishwasher 100 and effectively ensuring the stability and reliability of the dishwasher 100's dish washing effect.

[0051] 3-5, in some constructions, the machine body 10 includes a machine body 11, a door body 16, a baseboard 12, and a bottom cover 13.

[0052] The machine body 11 may have a rectangular parallelepiped structure and form a cleaning chamber (not shown) with an opening. Here, the machine body 11 may be made of a metal material so that it has high strength and durability, and metal materials have high thermal conductivity and heat transfer performance, so that the machine body 11 can achieve better effects in the processes of heat exchange and condensation drying. Of course, the machine body 11 may be made of a plastic material so that it has the advantage of being lightweight, but the embodiment of the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0053] The door body 16 may have a rectangular structure to match the cross-sectional shape of the washing chamber of the machine body 11, thereby enabling the washing chamber to be opened and closed by rotating the door body 16. Here, the door body 16 may be made of a glass material, for example, a tempered glass material having superior strength characteristics. In this way, the door body 16 has excellent impact resistance and pressure resistance, and at the same time, the user can observe the situation inside the washing chamber from the outside through the door body 16, improving the user experience. Of course, the door body 16 may also be made of a metal material so that it has high strength, but the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0054] The baseboard 12 may be elongated and have vertical, front-rear, and left-right directions, where the vertical, front-rear, and left-right directions are angled relative to one another. The main structure of the baseboard 12 may be made of a plastic material such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which has advantages such as easy cleaning and moisture resistance, or may be made of a metal material such as an aluminum alloy, although the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. The baseboard 12 is connected to the lower front of the machine body 11, and the liquid storage structure 30 is connected to the outer side of the baseboard 12, away from the machine body 11.

[0055] The bottom cover 13 may be shaped like a rectangular plate and is mated with the bottom of the machine body 11 to define the storage chamber 10A. Specifically, the connection between the bottom cover 13 and the bottom of the machine body 11 may be, but is not limited to, a buckle connection, a screw connection, or a magnetic connection, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In this way, during subsequent maintenance, an operator can remove the bottom cover 13 to inspect the communication structure 40 located within the storage chamber 10A. Furthermore, because the storage chamber 10A is located at the bottom of the machine body 11, the liquid storage structure 30 and the communication structure 40 are both located at the bottom of the machine body 11, thereby shortening the distance between them. This allows detergent from the liquid storage structure 30 to easily enter the communication structure 40, shortening the length of the communication structure 40 and reducing the possibility of detergent remaining within the communication structure 40.

[0056] The machine body 10 further includes a water collection unit 14, which is connected to the surface of the machine body 11 facing the bottom cover 13. The water collection unit 14 includes a first inlet fitting (not shown) and a spray end (not shown), with the spray end extending into the washing chamber. The third port 412 of the communication structure 40 is abutted against the first inlet fitting of the water collection unit 14, and may be inserted or fitted into the first inlet fitting. In this way, the detergent mixed in the communication structure 40 enters the first inlet fitting through the third port 412 and is then sprayed onto the dishes in the washing chamber through the spray end. In this way, the detergent and the clean water from the water supply structure 20 are not only mixed in the communication structure 40, but also uniformly mixed within the water collection unit 14, which further realizes the adjustment and control of the detergent concentration and improves the dish washing effect. Furthermore, the water collecting unit 14 further includes a second liquid inlet joint (not shown) connected to the water supply structure 20. In this way, when the dishes in the washing chamber need to be secondarily washed with fresh water, the fresh water can directly enter the water collecting unit 14 from the water supply structure 20 through the second liquid inlet joint without passing through the communication structure 40 again, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the second washing of the dishes in the washing chamber and reducing detergent residue. Specifically, the water collecting unit 14 sprays a water flow onto the dishes in the washing chamber through a spray end. The water flow may be sprayed from the washing chamber from top to bottom, bottom to top, or in multiple directions simultaneously to achieve the above-mentioned spray function. Therefore, the specific structure of the water collecting unit 14 is not limited herein.

[0057] 3 and 6 , the communication structure 40 optionally includes a first connecting pipe 41 and a second connecting pipe 42, one end of the second connecting pipe 42 penetrating the pipe wall of the first connecting pipe 41 to communicate with the interior of the first connecting pipe 41, opposite ends of the first connecting pipe 41 being configured as a first port 411 and a third port 412, respectively, and one end of the second connecting pipe 42 remote from the first connecting pipe 41 being configured as a second port 421. Here, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 may be angled, specifically, in a "in" or "in" shape, so that the detergent can flow into the first connecting pipe 41 along the guide of the second connecting pipe 42. In this way, the fresh water flowing out from the second connecting pipe 42 can flow in the same direction as the water flow of the first connecting pipe 41, which not only makes it easier for the detergent to flow into the washing chamber, but also eliminates the need to provide a separate space for mixing the detergent and fresh water, making the structure of the connecting structure 40 simpler, easier to manufacture, and easier to install, reducing the space occupied by the installation chamber and further realizing the miniaturization of the dishwasher 100.

[0058] Furthermore, the distance between the junction between the second connecting pipe 42 and the first connecting pipe 41 and the first port 411 is shorter than the distance between the junction between the second connecting pipe 42 and the first connecting pipe 41 and the third port 412. With this arrangement, the fresh water from the water supply structure 20 can enter the communication structure 40 from a position close to the first port 411, so that even if the detergent is accumulated close to the first port 411 (i.e., close to the liquid storage structure 30), it can be washed away by the fresh water from the water supply structure 20. This increases the length that the fresh water from the water supply structure 20 passes through the first connecting pipe 41, further improving the effect of washing away the detergent accumulated inside the communication structure 40.

[0059] Optionally, the height of the second port 421 in the storage chamber 10A is higher than the height of the communication part between the second connecting pipe 42 and the first connecting pipe 41 in the storage chamber 10A. In this way, whether the communication structure 40 is placed horizontally or vertically in the installation chamber, the fresh water entering from the second port 421 of the second connecting pipe 42 can fall into the first connecting pipe 41 by the action of gravity, increasing the impact force of the fresh water and further reducing the possibility of detergent remaining on the wall of the first connecting pipe 41, thereby improving the cleaning effect.

[0060] Optionally, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 are integrally formed, which can reduce the number of parts in the communication structure 40, simplify the overall structure of the communication structure 40, and increase the strength of the overall structure.

[0061] Optionally, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 may be arc-shaped. Here, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 may be arc-shaped, such as a "C" shape. This not only allows for adaptation to special installation environments, but also extends the length through which the clean water and detergent pass, increasing the mixing time between the clean water and detergent and improving the cleaning effect. On the other hand, in the second connecting pipe 42 having an arc shape, if the height of the second port 421 in the storage chamber 10A is higher than the height of the connection between the second connecting pipe 42 and the first connecting pipe 41 in the storage chamber 10A, the second connecting pipe 42 can more easily guide the clean water to the first connecting pipe 41, reducing detergent residue and improving the cleaning effect.

[0062] Optionally, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 are telescopic pipes, so that the lengths of the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 can be adjusted to accommodate various installation environments.

[0063] Optionally, the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 are hoses, which allow the first connecting pipe 41 and the second connecting pipe 42 to be easily bent and deformed, and can be adapted to various installation environments.

[0064] In some structural forms, the dishwasher 10 further includes a water supply valve (not shown), which is connected to the main body 11 at the wall of the storage chamber 10A and is located between the second port 421 and the water supply structure 20. By providing the water supply valve, the water supply valve can control the amount of water supplied during each wash by controlling the water entering the communication structure 40. In another embodiment, the dishwasher 10 further includes a breather (not shown), which is connected to the main body 11 at the wall of the storage chamber 10A and is located between the second port 421 and the water supply structure 20. The breather is configured to expel air bubbles in the water flow from the water supply structure 20, prevent excessive gas pressure from being generated during the wash operation, and protect the piping and components inside the dishwasher 100 from damage. In yet another embodiment, the machine 10 further includes a water softener (not shown). The water softener is connected to the machine body 11 at the chamber wall of the accommodation chamber 10A and is located between the second port 421 and the water supply structure 20. The water softener is configured to soften the water in the water supply structure 20 to form soft water. Soft water refers to water with calcium salts and magnesium salts of less than 50 mg / L. When soft water is used for cleaning, it provides better cleaning effects and reduces the need for detergent, thereby improving the cleaning effect. If the machine 10 further includes one of a water supply valve, a breather, and a water softener, the device may be directly inserted or fitted into the second port 421, or may be secured via a structure such as a clamp ring. Of course, in other embodiments, the machine 10 may also include a water supply valve, a breather, and a water softener, thereby simultaneously achieving the above functions.

[0065] 3, 4 and 7, in some structural forms, the dishwasher 100 further includes a pump body 50, which is connected to the baseboard 12 and has an input coupling 51 and an output coupling 52, with the output coupling 52 penetrating the machine body 11 and exposed to the interior of the storage chamber 10A to communicate with the first port 411. The input coupling 51 is directly connected to the discharge coupling 33 of the liquid storage structure 30.

[0066] Here, the pump body 50 may be a metering pump, and the pump body 50 can provide power for transporting detergent by sucking detergent from the liquid storage structure 30 and transporting it into the communication structure 40. Meanwhile, by directly connecting the input joint 51 of the pump body 50 to the discharge joint 33 of the liquid storage structure 30, no additional piping is required between the pump body 50 and the liquid storage structure 30, and since the connection is direct, loss of detergent in the piping can be effectively avoided and the probability of clogging can be further reduced. Specifically, the input joint 51 may be a male joint and the discharge joint 33 may be a female joint, and when inserted, a portion of the input joint 51 enters into the discharge joint 33, allowing the two to be accurately butted together and preventing detergent leakage.

[0067] 7 and 8, the baseboard 12 is further formed with an attachment portion 121. In the front-to-rear direction of the baseboard 12, the attachment portion 121 has a front surface 1211 and a rear surface 1212 that are arranged back to back, and the baseboard 12 has a first plate surface 122 and a second plate surface 123 that are arranged back to back. Here, the front surface 1211 is recessed rearward to form a first attachment chamber 121a, and the attachment portion 121 is open at least on the front side to form an attachment / detachment opening 1213 that communicates with the first attachment chamber 121a. Note that by forming the first attachment chamber 121a and the attachment / detachment opening 1213 by the attachment portion 121, the attachment / detachment opening 1213 corresponds to the first attachment chamber 121a. That is, the opening size of the attachment / detachment opening 1213 is equal to the opening size of the first attachment chamber 121a, and compared to an embodiment in which the opening size of the attachment / detachment opening 1213 is larger than the opening size of the first attachment chamber 121a, the embodiment of this invention prevents the size of the attachment / detachment opening 1213 formed by the baseboard 12 from becoming too large. In this way, it is possible to prevent the rigidity of the entire baseboard 12 from decreasing, to prevent the baseboard 12 from being deformed or damaged when the user's feet touch the baseboard 12, and to ensure the durability of the baseboard 12 of the embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0068] 7 to 9, the liquid storage structure 30 is removably mounted within the first mounting chamber 121a. Specifically, the removably mounted form includes, but is not limited to, a buckle connection, a screw connection, or a magnetic connection, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto. In this manner, during actual use, a user can remove the liquid storage structure 30 from the first mounting chamber 121a and then perform a series of operations, such as adding detergent to the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage structure 30 or cleaning the liquid storage chamber, and then remount the liquid storage structure 30 within the first mounting chamber 121a after completing the operations. In this manner, even during long-term use, it is easy to remove the liquid storage structure 30 from the first mounting chamber 121a periodically to thoroughly clean the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage structure 30. This prevents detergent from accumulating in locations such as the liquid storage chamber of the liquid storage structure 30, causing clogging, and also prevents inaccurate detergent dispensing, thereby ensuring the cleaning effect of the dishwasher 100.

[0069] The liquid storage structure 30 further includes a box body 31 and a support portion 32. Specifically, the box body 31 includes a box body and a lid body. The box body includes a liquid storage chamber and a liquid fill port communicating with the liquid storage chamber. The lid body is movably connected to the box body to open and close the liquid fill port. Optionally, the liquid fill port is provided on the top surface of the box body, and one end of the lid body is pivotally connected to the box body. In this manner, after removing the liquid storage structure 30, liquid can be introduced into the box body 31 through the liquid fill port by opening the lid body. The support portion 32 is provided on the bottom wall of the box body 31 and is configured to support the box body 31 when the liquid storage structure 30 is placed in the first mounting chamber 121a. Optionally, in one embodiment, the support portion 32 includes a plurality of support ribs arranged in a staggered pattern on the bottom of the box body 31. The support ribs are configured to abut against the bottom wall or the bottom and side walls of the first mounting chamber 121a when the liquid storage structure 30 is placed in the first mounting chamber 121a. Here, the support ribs may be arranged in a staggered pattern vertically and horizontally or in a grid pattern. In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the support ribs are used to support the box body 31. This not only ensures support while saving materials and reducing costs, but also reduces the weight of the liquid storage structure 30 and makes it easier to move. Of course, the support portion 32 may also have other structural forms, such as a plate-like structure or a block-like structure, and the present disclosure is not limited thereto.

[0070] Meanwhile, second plate surface 123 of baseboard 12 is recessed toward first plate surface 122 to form second mounting chamber 123b, which is spaced apart from first mounting chamber 121a in the left-right direction of baseboard 12, and pump body 50 is mounted within second mounting chamber 123b. In this way, pump body 50 can be mounted via second mounting chamber 123b formed by second plate surface 123 of baseboard 12, and because pump body 50 does not need to occupy space in machine body 11 for mounting, machine body 11 can be designed more compactly and the overall size of dishwasher 100 can be further reduced, allowing dishwasher 100 to be adapted to use in environments with compact spaces and improving the applicability of dishwasher 100.

[0071] Furthermore, second plate surface 123 is further recessed toward first plate surface 122 to form third mounting chamber 123c, and second mounting chamber 123b, first mounting chamber 121a, and third mounting chamber 123c are sequentially arranged at intervals in the left-right direction of baseboard 12. Dishwasher 100 further includes circuit board unit 60, which is electrically connected to pump body 50 and mounted in third mounting chamber 123c. In this way, circuit board unit 60 can be mounted via third mounting chamber 123c formed by second plate surface 123 of baseboard 12. Since circuit board unit 60 does not need to occupy space in machine body 11 for mounting, machine body 11 can be designed more compactly and the overall size of dishwasher 100 can be further reduced, allowing dishwasher 100 to be adapted to use in environments with compact spaces and improving the applicability of dishwasher 100. Meanwhile, the circuit board unit 60 controls the pump body 50 to suck the detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 at a predetermined time and at a predetermined rate. In this way, the user only needs to fill the liquid storage structure 30 with detergent, eliminating the need to manually add detergent for a long time, thereby reducing the difficulty of each cleaning.

[0072] Meanwhile, the second mounting chamber 123b, the first mounting chamber 121a, and the third mounting chamber 123c may be sequentially spaced apart in the left-right direction of the baseboard 12. Note that in everyday use, the weight of the entire liquid storage structure 30 changes depending on the amount of detergent added. Therefore, if the first mounting chamber 121a to which the liquid storage structure 30 is attached is positioned at the left or right end of the baseboard 12, as the detergent in the liquid storage structure 30 is gradually added, the weight of the entire liquid storage structure 30 will gradually decrease, increasing the possibility of the weight balance of the entire baseboard 12 being disrupted. Therefore, by positioning the first mounting chamber 121a between the second mounting chamber 123b and the third mounting chamber 123c and locating the liquid storage structure 30, which experiences greater weight fluctuations, in the center, the weight of the entire baseboard 12 will not be biased to the left or right. In this way, the overall stability of the baseboard 12 can be improved, the stability of the connection between the baseboard 12 and the machine body 11 can be secured, and the connection between the machine body 11 and the baseboard 12 can be prevented from coming off.

[0073] 1 and 2 , the machine body 10 optionally further includes a lid body 15, which is movably connected to the baseboard 12 to cover or open the access opening 1213. Specific ways in which the lid body 15 is movably connected to the baseboard 12 include, but are not limited to, rotating along the vertical direction of the baseboard 12, rotating from left to right or right to left along the horizontal direction of the baseboard 12, or pulling out the lid body 15 along the front-to-back direction of the baseboard 12. The lid body 15 protects the liquid storage structure 30, thereby preventing the liquid storage structure 30 from being exposed to the outside for a long period of time and becoming susceptible to damage due to impacts. Furthermore, when the lid body 15 covers the access opening 1213, the surface of the lid body 15 facing away from the liquid storage structure 30 is flush with the surface of the baseboard 12 facing away from the machine body 11. This not only improves the overall appearance but also prevents the lid body 15 from protruding outward and becoming susceptible to impacts.

[0074] In some structural forms, the lid body 15 is formed with an observation window 151, which is provided directly opposite the liquid storage structure 30 along the front-to-rear direction of the baseboard 12 when the lid body 15 covers the attachment / detachment opening 1213. In this way, even when the lid body 15 covers the attachment / detachment opening 1213, the user can directly check the remaining amount of liquid in the liquid storage chamber through the observation window 151 without opening the lid body 15, thereby eliminating an operation step. The observation window 151 may have a through-hole structure.

[0075] Furthermore, the side panel surface of the lid body 15 is pivotally attached to the chamber wall of the first attachment chamber 121a via a pivot shaft so that the attachment / detachment opening 1213 is covered or opened by rotating the lid body 15 relative to the baseboard 12. In this way, in the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pivot shaft is provided so that the lid body 15 can be rotated relative to the baseboard 12, and the space between the lid body 15 and the baseboard 12 is pulled out, whereas the lid body 15 of this embodiment can be rotated only at an acute angle, which is sufficient for a user to remove the liquid storage structure 30 from the first attachment chamber 121a without rotating it a full 90 degrees, which is more convenient.

[0076] Furthermore, the rotational form of the lid body 15 and the baseboard 12 can be configured so that the lid body 15 rotates from top to bottom relative to the baseboard 12. In this way, when a user opens the lid body 15, the lid body 15 can continue to rotate due to its own weight, and the lid body 15 can be opened to a sufficient degree to remove the liquid storage structure 30 without the user having to perform any further opening operation, making the operation more convenient.

[0077] Referring to FIG. 2, as an option, a buckle is provided on one of the side panel surface of the lid body 15 and the chamber wall of the first attachment chamber 121a, and a buckle position is provided on the other. Here, by engaging the buckle with the buckle position, the lid body 15 can engage with the baseboard 12 when the lid body 15 covers the attachment opening 1213. In this way, by strengthening the engagement between the buckle and the buckle position when the lid body 15 covers the attachment opening 1213, the connection stability between the lid body 15 and the baseboard 12 is improved, and it is possible to prevent the lid body 15 from being damaged or the lid body 15 from injuring the user's feet due to abnormal rotation of the lid body 15. In this way, the durability of the lid body 15 is improved, and safety during use by the user is improved.

[0078] For example, a buckle may be provided on the side panel surface of the side panel of the lid body 15 and a buckle position may be provided on the chamber wall of the first mounting chamber 121a, or a buckle may be provided on the chamber wall of the first mounting chamber 121a and a buckle position may be provided on the side panel surface of the side panel of the lid body 15, and the embodiments of the present disclosure are not limited thereto.
