The first motor 41 is used to drive the bowl basket 20 to extend or retract the wash chamber 11 through the second transmission member 32 and the first transmission member 31.

In the washing appliance 100, the bowl basket 20 can extend or retract into the washing chamber 11 under the drive of the first motor 41, so that the bowl basket 20 is electrically moved, the bowl basket 20 is not required to be manually operated by a user with larger force, the operation difficulty of the user is reduced, the usability and operability of the washing appliance 100 are improved, and the user experience is improved.

It should be noted that, since the first motor 41 is sealingly mounted at the first mounting opening 111 and at least partially positioned in the washing chamber 11, the first motor 41 is located closer to the bowl basket 20, so that the first motor 41 only needs to provide a small driving force to drive the bowl basket 20 to extend or retract from the washing chamber 11 through the first and second driving members 31 and 32, and control is facilitated, so that only one first motor 41 is needed to drive the bowl basket 20, and balance of movement of the bowl basket 20 can be maintained. Furthermore, since the first motor 41 is at least partially located inside the washing chamber 11, it is not necessary to additionally reserve a large space outside the washing chamber 11 to preset the first motor 41, thereby facilitating the installation of the inner container 10. The first motor 41 may be, for example, a linear motor.

In addition, the first transmission member 31 may be a rack (e.g., a linear rack), and the second transmission member 32 may be a gear (as shown in fig. 10). When the first transmission member 31 is a rack and the second transmission member 32 is a gear, the first motor 41 can drive the second transmission member 32 to rotate through the forward and reverse rotation of the first transmission member 31 to drive the first transmission member 31 to do linear motion, so as to drive the bowl basket 20 to do linear motion to extend or retract the washing chamber 11.

Of course, it is understood that the second transmission member 32 may also be two leather wheels, wherein the leather wheels include a belt and a gear. The first motor 41 may be belt driven to extend or retract the bowl basket 20 from or into the wash chamber 11.

In this embodiment, the number of bowl baskets 20 is two. The two bowl baskets 20 are spaced apart. The two bowl baskets 20 comprise a lower bowl basket located at the lower part of the washing chamber 11 and a middle bowl basket located at the middle part of the washing chamber 11. The bowl basket 20 is used for placing cutlery. The washing appliance 100 includes a spraying device (not shown). The spray device includes a spray arm 103 disposed below the bowl basket 20.

The distance detection module 61 is configured to detect a distance between the door 12 and the liner 10. When the distance between the door 12 and the liner 10 is less than or equal to the first distance, the control device 50 is used to control the first motor to be in a closed state. That is, even if the voice detection module 60 detects a voice command of the user, the control device 50 can control the first motor 41 to be in the off state, thus preventing the collision of the basket 20 and the tableware placed in the basket 20 with the door body 12 due to the erroneous command. When the door 12 closes the washing chamber 11, a distance between the door 12 and the washing chamber 11 is smaller than the first distance. When the distance between the door 12 and the liner 10 is greater than the first distance and the voice detection module 60 detects a voice command from the user, the control device 50 can control the first motor 41 to drive the bowl basket 20 to extend or retract into the washing chamber 11 according to the voice command. That is, the bowl basket 20 can freely extend or retract into the washing chamber 11 when the distance of the door 12 with respect to the inner tub 10 is large.

In some embodiments, the washing appliance 100 includes a key part 51 and a control device 50. The key portion 51 is connected to the first motor 41 and is used for generating control instructions. The control means 50 is for controlling the first motor 41 to drive the bowl basket 20 to extend or retract the washing chamber 11 according to the control instructions. In this way, the first motor 41 can be controlled to drive the first transmission member 31 and the second transmission member 32 according to the control instruction received by the key part 51, so that the bowl basket 20 is automatically controlled, the operation is simple, and the user experience is improved.

In certain embodiments, the washing appliance 100 includes a connection plate 80. The connection plate 80 is mounted to a side wall of the bowl basket 20. The connection plate 80 is formed with a mounting groove 81 extending in the moving direction of the bowl basket 20. The first transmission member 31 is disposed in the mounting groove 81. Thus, the first transmission member 31 can be stably mounted to the bowl basket 20, so that the stability of the transmission of the first transmission member 31 can be improved.

In some embodiments, the connection plate 80 includes a body plate 81 and two baffles 82 connected at both ends of the body plate 81. The body plate 81 connects the two baffles 82 and together forms the mounting groove 81. The body plate 81 extends from the direction of movement of the bowl basket 20. The first transmission member 31 is disposed on the lower surface of the body plate 81. The baffle 82 is L-shaped in cross section. The first transmission member is located between the two baffles 82. In this way, the arrangement of the two baffles 82 effectively limits the position of the first transmission member 31 relative to the second transmission member 32, thereby preventing the bowl basket 20 from sliding completely out of the washing chamber 11 and preventing the bowl basket 20 from colliding with the inner side wall of the washing chamber 11.

In some embodiments, the body plate 81, the two baffles 82, and the first transmission member 31 are of unitary construction. Thus, the structure is simpler and the manufacturing cost is low.
