Detailed Description

Embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like or similar reference numerals refer to like or similar elements or elements having like or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are illustrative and intended to explain the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

A dishwasher 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention is described below with reference to fig. 1-5.

As shown in fig. 1, a dishwasher 100 according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes: the bowl comprises an inner container 1, a door body 2, an upper bowl basket 3 and a lower bowl basket 4.

Specifically, the inner container 1 is internally provided with a washing cavity with an open front side; the upper bowl basket 3 is slidably arranged in the washing cavity, the lower bowl basket 4 is positioned below the upper bowl basket 3, the door body 2 is used for opening and closing the washing cavity, when the door body 2 is opened, the upper bowl basket 3 and the lower bowl basket 4 can both slide out of the washing cavity so as to place and take out tableware, and when the door body 2 is closed, the dish washer 100 can wash the tableware.

Wherein the upper bowl basket 3 is movable between a first washing position (e.g., the position of the upper bowl basket 3 shown in fig. 2) within the washing chamber and a first slide-out position (e.g., the position of the upper bowl basket 3 shown in fig. 3 and 4) sliding out of the washing chamber when the door body 2 opens the washing chamber; that is, the upper basket 3 is positioned in the washing chamber in the first washing position, and the upper basket 3 slides out of the washing chamber in the first sliding position to facilitate taking and placing of dishes. When the door body 2 opens the washing chamber, the lower bowl basket 4 is movable between a second washing position (e.g., the position of the lower bowl basket 4 shown in fig. 2) located within the washing chamber and a second slide-out position (e.g., the position of the lower bowl basket 4 shown in fig. 3 and 4) slid out of the washing chamber; that is, the lower basket 4 is positioned in the washing chamber in the second washing position, and the lower basket 4 slides out of the washing chamber in the second sliding position, so that the user can conveniently take and put the tableware.

Further, when the upper basket 3 is at the first sliding-out position and the lower basket 4 is at the second sliding-out position, the upper basket 3 and the lower basket 4 are at least partially staggered in the front-rear direction, that is, when the upper basket 3 is pulled out to the first sliding-out position and the lower basket 4 is pulled out to the second sliding-out position, the upper basket 3 and the lower basket 4 can be partially staggered or completely staggered in front-rear direction, thus avoiding the upper basket 3 from shielding the lower basket 4, realizing that the upper basket 3 and the lower basket 4 are simultaneously loaded with tableware, and improving the convenience of using the dish washer 100. Here, it will be appreciated that the top of the upper basket 3 is open and the top of the lower basket 4 is also open to facilitate loading of cutlery.

According to the dish washer 100 of the embodiment of the invention, the upper bowl basket 3 positioned at the first sliding-out position and the lower bowl basket 4 positioned at the second sliding-out position are at least partially staggered along the front-back direction, so that the upper bowl basket 3 can be prevented from shielding the lower bowl basket 4, and a user can conveniently load tableware on the upper bowl basket 3 and the lower bowl basket 4 at the same time. Thereby solving the problem that the upper bowl basket 3 needs to be pushed back into the washing cavity when the lower bowl basket 4 is loaded in the related art, and improving the loading efficiency of tableware.

In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, at least a majority of the lower basket 4 extends beyond the front end of the upper basket 3 when the upper basket 3 is in the first slide-out position and the lower basket 4 is in the second slide-out position. That is, the lower basket 4 may extend mostly beyond the front end surface of the upper basket 3, or the lower basket 4 may extend entirely beyond the front end surface of the upper basket 3, where the upper basket 3 and the lower basket 4 do not overlap in the up-down direction and the front-rear direction. Therefore, the upper bowl basket 3 can be further prevented from shielding the lower bowl basket 4, and a user can conveniently load tableware on the upper bowl basket 3 and the lower bowl basket 4 at the same time. Here, at least a large part means that a portion of the lower basket 4 beyond the upper basket 3 in the front-rear direction is larger than a portion of the lower basket 4 overlapped with the upper basket 3 in the up-down direction.

Of course, the present invention is not limited thereto, and the upper basket 3 and the lower basket 4 may be staggered in the front-rear direction: the upper bowl basket 3 is positioned at the front side, and the lower bowl basket 4 is positioned at the rear side, i.e. the distance by which the upper bowl basket 3 is pulled out is greater than the distance by which the lower bowl basket 4 is pulled out.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the door body 2 is horizontally disposed when the washing chamber is opened, and the lower bowl basket 4 is adapted to be supported on the door body 2 and slidable along the door body 2 when the door body 2 is opened, thereby facilitating the sliding of the lower bowl basket 4 to the second sliding-out position, and facilitating the operation. Specifically, the door body 2 has an open state and a closed state, and when the door body 2 is in the closed state, the door body 2 closes the washing chamber; when the door body 2 is in an open state, the washing cavity is opened, the door body 2 is in a horizontally arranged state, at the moment, both the upper bowl basket 3 and the lower bowl basket 4 can slide out of the washing cavity, the door body 2 can support the lower bowl basket 4 in the process that the lower bowl basket 4 slides out of the washing cavity, and the lower bowl basket 4 can slide relative to the door body 2, so that the door body 2 can play a role in supporting and guiding the lower bowl basket 4, and the sliding stability of the lower bowl basket 4 can be improved.

In one example, referring to fig. 4 and 5, a first slide (e.g., a rail or first rail, described below) may be provided on the door 2, and a second slide (e.g., a roller or second rail, described below) may be provided on the lower basket 4, with which the lower basket 4 is adapted to move to a second slide-out position in cooperation with the first slide. That is, the first slide slidably engages the second slide to move the lower basket 4 to the second slide out position.

In particular, the first slider may be formed as a first slide rail and the second slider may be formed as a second slide rail adapted to slidably engage with the first slide rail in the front-rear direction. That is, the first slider and the second slider may each be formed as a slide rail, and the two slide rails are engaged to slide relatively in the front-rear direction. The first sliding rail and the second sliding rail can be arranged in a nested mode, namely, one of the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail can be sleeved on the inner side of the other sliding rail, so that relative sliding between the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail is achieved, the structure is compact, and the relative sliding between the first sliding rail and the second sliding rail is stable and reliable.

Further, the first sliding rails include two, and the two first sliding rails are arranged on the door body 2 at intervals along the left and right direction, the two first sliding rails are arranged in parallel and all extend from one end (for example, the rear end of the door body 2 shown in fig. 3) to the other end (for example, the front end of the door body 2 shown in fig. 3) of the door body 2, and the second sliding rails are in one-to-one correspondence with the first sliding rails. Thus, the stability of the support of the lower basket 4 can be improved, and the stability of the lower basket 4 in the sliding process can be improved.

Alternatively, the first slide rail is provided on the door body 2 movably in the front-rear direction. Thereby, the pull-out distance of the lower basket 4 can be increased, and the upper basket 3 is prevented from covering the lower basket 4. Specifically, in the process that the lower bowl basket 4 slides out from the second washing position, the second sliding rail of the lower bowl basket 4 gradually approaches to and contacts the first sliding rail of the door body 2, when the second sliding rail contacts the first sliding rail, the second sliding rail on the lower bowl basket 4 moves forward relative to the first sliding rail, at this time, the first sliding rail is motionless, and when the second sliding rail slides to the forefront end of the first sliding rail and continues to pull out the lower bowl basket 4, at this time, the first sliding rail drives the lower bowl basket 4 to move forward together relative to the door body 2. Therefore, the pull-out distance of the lower bowl basket 4 can be increased, and meanwhile, the first sliding rail can also play a supporting role on the lower bowl basket 4, so that the stability of the lower bowl basket 4 is improved.

Here, the present invention is not limited to the sliding of the lower basket 4 in the liner 1. For example, in a specific embodiment, a lower sliding rail that slides in cooperation with the lower bowl basket 4 may be also provided on a side wall of the inner container 1, and when the door body 2 opens the washing chamber, the lower sliding rail on the inner container 1 is opposite to the first sliding rail on the door body 2 from front to back, and when the lower bowl basket 4 slides out from the second washing position to the second sliding position, the first sliding rail on the lower bowl basket 4 may slide in cooperation with the lower sliding rail on the side wall of the inner container 1 first, and then gradually slide in cooperation with the second sliding rail on the door body 2.

In some examples, referring to fig. 3 and 4, one of the first and second sliders is formed as a guide rail 21 and the other is formed as a roller 41, the guide rail 21 being adapted to slidably engage with the roller 41 in the front-rear direction, that is, the lower bowl basket 4 is formed with the roller 41 slidably engaged with the guide rail 21 when the guide rail 21 is formed on the door body 2, and the lower bowl basket 4 is formed with the guide rail 21 slidably engaged with the roller 41 when the roller 41 is formed on the door body 2, so as to enable the lower bowl basket 4 to slide with respect to the door body 2. For example, in one specific example, the left and right sides of the lower basket 4 are each provided with a plurality of rollers 41, at least two rollers 41 of the plurality of rollers 41 are spaced apart in the up-down direction, the door body 2 is formed with guide rails 21 extending in the front-rear direction, and when the lower basket 4 slides on the door body 2, the guide rails 21 on the door body 2 pass between the at least two rollers 41 spaced apart in the up-down direction, thereby achieving guiding and relative sliding of the door body 2 to the lower basket 4.

Further, a guide rail 21 is provided movably in the front-rear direction on the door body 2. Thereby, the pull-out distance of the lower basket 4 can be increased, and the upper basket 3 is prevented from covering the lower basket 4. Specifically, during the process that the lower basket 4 slides out from the second washing position, the rollers 41 of the lower basket 4 approach and contact the guide rail 21 on the door body 2 gradually, and when the rollers 41 contact the guide rail 21, the rollers 41 on the lower basket 4 move forward relative to the guide rail 21, and at this time, the guide rail is stationary. When the roller 41 slides to the forefront end of the guide rail 21 and continues to pull out the lower bowl basket 4, at this time, the guide rail 21 drives the lower bowl basket 4 to move forward together with respect to the door body 2. Therefore, not only can the pull-out distance of the lower bowl basket 4 be increased, but also the guide rail 21 can play a supporting role on the lower bowl basket 4, so that the stability of the lower bowl basket 4 is improved.

Further, the guide rail 21 is formed on the door body 2, and a limit protrusion (not shown) is formed at an end of the guide rail 21 away from the washing chamber. Wherein, alternatively, the limit protrusion is formed by bending one end of the guide rail 21, for example, the limit protrusion is formed by bending the front end of the guide rail 21 upward. Therefore, when the roller 41 on the lower bowl basket 4 slides to the position where the limiting protrusion is located, the limiting protrusion can limit the roller 41 to continue sliding, so that the lower bowl basket 4 can be kept at the second sliding-out position, the limiting and positioning functions are achieved, and the lower bowl basket 4 is prevented from sliding off.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, at least one pair of guide wheels 11 are provided on opposite side walls of the liner 1, the pair of guide wheels 11 includes two guide wheels 11 arranged at intervals in the up-down direction, and upper guide rails 31 extending in the front-rear direction are provided on both left and right sides of the upper bowl basket 3, the upper guide rails 31 being slidably provided between the two guide wheels 11 of the pair of guide wheels 11 in the front-rear direction. To achieve that the upper basket 3 is slidable between a first washing position and a first slide-out position.
