After the dish washer is washed, the water in the inner container 220 is discharged through the water cup and the water discharge pipe, the air inlet and water discharge assembly blows air into the inner container 220, the air outlet assembly 400 sucks out the air in the inner container 220, and accordingly circulating air flow is formed in the inner container 220, and water drops on the inner container assembly 200, the bowl basket 800 assembly and tableware on the bowl basket 800 assembly are air-dried.

The liner assembly 200 of the present application is a liner assembly 200 with novel installation mode, which comprises a liner 220 with a containing cavity 221, an outer frame 230 with an installation space 231, and a sealing frame 210 for connecting and fixing the liner 220 and the outer frame 230; the inner container 220 is installed in the installation space 231, and the sealing frame 210 is covered on top of the inner container 220 and the outer frame 230. The liner assembly 200 is changed into a module by the connection among the liner 220, the outer frame 230 and the sealing frame 210, so that the selectable range of the material of the liner 220 is greatly expanded, such as stainless steel, ceramic, plexiglas and the like.

The specific structure of each component (the liner 220, the outer frame 230 and the sealing frame 210) of the liner assembly 200 will be mainly described below, and the matching relationship (the positional relationship and the connection relationship) and the functional effect between each component will be described, and it should be emphasized that the structural features of each component in the present application can be combined in a related manner on the basis of the present disclosure by those skilled in the art, so as to form an effective technical solution.

Referring to fig. 5 to 9, the overall shape of the liner 220 is a rectangular box (on the basis of the rectangular box, there is a local recess or protrusion according to specific requirements), the top of the liner 220 is provided with an opening for the bowl basket 800, tableware and the like to enter and exit the accommodating cavity 221, and the bottom of the liner 220 is provided with a mounting opening for mounting and matching parts such as a waterway assembly and the like.

The inner container 220 may be integrally formed, or may be formed by connecting a plurality of members, and in this embodiment, the inner container 220 is formed by splicing a plurality of portions.

The liner 220 includes: a side plate 222, the side plate 222 being annularly disposed around; a bottom plate 224, wherein the bottom plate 224 comprises a base plate 22b and a connecting plate 22c extending from the edge of the base plate 22b to one side of the base plate 22 b; the bottom of the side plate 222 and/or the side of the connecting plate 22c away from the base plate 22b are formed with a mounting step 225, and the bottom of the side plate 222 and the connecting plate 22c are fixedly connected by the mounting step 225 to form a housing cavity 221.

The structural features associated with the side panels 222 and the bottom panel 224, respectively, in cooperation with themselves are described below.

The side plate 222, taking hexahedron as an example, the side plate 222 includes four plates, i.e. front, back, left and right, which can be integrally formed, or four separate plates, and the side plate 222 is formed by splicing and combining the plates. The side plate 222 may be made of various materials, such as metal, ceramic, glass, plastic, etc., for example, stainless steel, and the side plate 222 is formed by bending a complete stainless steel plate, and after the stainless steel plate is bent, the connection parts at two ends of the stainless steel plate can be used for connecting the side plate 222 to form by welding or screw connection, etc. Of course, in some embodiments, ribs are further disposed on the side plate 222 to increase the strength of the side plate 222, and simultaneously change the natural frequency of the side plate 222 to prevent resonance.

The bottom plate 224, the bottom plate 224 includes a substrate 22b and a connection plate 22c extending from the edge of the substrate 22b to the substrate 22b side, and the substrate 22b and the connection plate 22c may be integrally formed or may be separate components. For better cooperation with the side plate 222, the connecting plate 22c also has plate bodies corresponding to the four plate bodies of the side plate 222, so that the side plate 222 and the connecting plate 22c are more convenient. The base 224 may be made of any material, such as metal, ceramic, glass, plastic, etc., for example, stainless steel. In this embodiment, the bottom plate 224 is formed by integral molding, and the connecting plate 22c is formed by bending the edge of the base plate 22b, more specifically, by punching a single stainless steel plate. The bottom plate 224 has a small accommodating space formed by arranging the connecting plate 22c around the substrate 22b, so that when the bottom plate is connected with the side plate 222, not two perpendicular plates (the side plate 222 and the substrate 22 b) but two parallel plates (the side plate 222 and the connecting plate 22 c) are connected, thereby greatly reducing the connection difficulty between the bottom plate 224 and the side plate 222, and simultaneously, the small accommodating cavity 221 is formed by stamping one plate, so that the tightness of the small accommodating cavity 221 is greatly improved.

The connection relationship of the liner 220 itself is described below.

The location and form of the mounting step 225 may be varied, and several types, locations and positional relationships between the side plates and the bottom plate 224 corresponding thereto of the mounting step 225 will be specifically described.

In the first case, a mounting step 225 is formed at the bottom of the side plate, the mounting step 225 is recessed from the outer side of the side plate to the inside of the receiving cavity 221, and the inner side wall of the connecting plate 22c is connected to the outer side wall of the side plate.

In this embodiment, the mounting step 225 is located at the edge of the side plate near the connection plate 22c, and the mounting step 225 is recessed into the accommodating cavity 221, so that the edge of the bottom of the side plate has a displacement (mounting difference) that is offset into the accommodating cavity 221, so as to avoid the connection plate 22c corresponding to the displacement, thereby avoiding interference during the mounting process of the connection plate 22c and the side plate. At this time, the connection plate 22c is located at the outer side of the side plate, that is, the connection plate 22c wraps the edge of the bottom of the side plate, so that the connection between the inner side wall of the connection plate 22c and the outer side wall of the side plate is achieved after welding. This arrangement makes it more difficult for water in bladder 220 to overflow from the junction. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 22c may have a mounting step 225 protruding outward of the liner 220.

In the second case, a mounting step 225 is formed on a side of the connection plate 22c away from the base plate 22b, the mounting step 225 protrudes outward from the housing cavity 221, and an inner sidewall of the connection plate 22c is connected to an outer sidewall of the side plate.

In this embodiment, the mounting step 225 is located at the edge of the connecting plate 22c near the side plate, and the mounting step 225 protrudes to the outside of the receiving chamber 221, so that the edge of the top of the connecting plate 22c has a displacement (mounting difference) that is offset in a direction away from the receiving chamber 221, so as to avoid the bottom of the side plate corresponding thereto, thereby avoiding interference during the mounting of the connecting plate 22c and the side plate. At this time, the connection plate 22c is located at the outer side of the side plate, that is, the connection plate 22c wraps the edge of the bottom of the side plate, so that the connection between the inner side wall of the connection plate 22c and the outer side wall of the side plate is achieved after welding. In this embodiment, the side plate may have a mounting step 225 recessed toward the inner side of the liner 220.

In the third case, a mounting step 225 is formed at the bottom of the side plate, the mounting step 225 protrudes outwards from the inside of the accommodating cavity 221, and the outer sidewall of the connecting plate 22c is connected with the inner sidewall of the side plate.

In this embodiment, the mounting step 225 is located at the edge of the side plate near the connection plate 22c, and the mounting step 225 protrudes toward the outside of the accommodating cavity 221, so that the edge of the bottom of the side plate has a displacement (mounting difference) that is convexly offset in a direction away from the accommodating cavity, so as to avoid the connection plate 22c corresponding thereto, thereby avoiding interference during the mounting process of the connection plate 22c and the side plate. At this time, the connection plate 22c is located at the inner side of the side plate, i.e., the side plate wraps around the edge of the top of the connection plate 22c, so as to achieve connection of the outer side wall of the connection plate 22c with the inner side wall of the side plate after welding. In this embodiment, the connecting plate 22c may have a mounting step 225 recessed toward the inner side of the liner 220.

In the fourth case, a mounting step 225 is formed on a side of the connection plate 22c away from the base plate 22b, the mounting step 225 is recessed from an outer side of the connection plate 22c toward the inside of the receiving cavity 221, and an outer side wall of the connection plate 22c is connected with an inner side wall of the side plate.

In this embodiment, the mounting step 225 is located at the edge of the connecting plate 22c near the side plate, and the mounting step 225 is recessed toward the inner side of the receiving cavity 221, so that the edge of the top of the connecting plate 22c has a displacement (mounting difference) that is offset into the receiving cavity 221, so as to avoid the bottom of the side plate corresponding thereto, and thus avoid interference during the mounting process of the connecting plate 22c and the side plate. At this time, the connection plate 22c is located at the inner side of the side plate, i.e., the side plate wraps around the edge of the top of the connection plate 22c, so as to achieve connection of the outer side wall of the connection plate 22c with the inner side wall of the side plate after welding. In this embodiment, the side plate may have a mounting step 225 protruding outward of the liner 220.

In this embodiment, the mounting step 225 is disposed at the bottom of the side plate and/or the top of the bottom plate 224, so that a mounting difference is generated between the bottom of the side plate and the top of the bottom plate 224, so as to avoid interference in the mounting process of the side plate and the bottom plate 224, so that the matching of the side plate and the bottom plate 224 is not blocked and is very smooth, and the mounting efficiency of the side plate and the bottom plate 224 is greatly improved; in addition, due to the existence of the installation step 225, after the side plate is matched with the bottom plate 224 (taking the installation step 225 formed at the bottom of the side plate as an example, a plate surface at the bottom of the bottom plate 224 is attached to a lower-order surface of the installation step 225, so that the plate surface opposite to the lower-order surface of the bottom plate 224 is flush with a higher-order surface), the height difference between the bottom plate and the top of the bottom plate 224 is greatly reduced, and when the depth of the installation step 225 is equal to the plate thickness of the side plate or the bottom plate 224, the connection position between the bottom plate and the top of the bottom plate 224 can be smoothly transited, so that the matching area of the side plate and the bottom plate 224 is increased, and the space is reasonably utilized while the connection between the side plate and the bottom plate 224 is stable and reliable.

The following describes some of the solutions that benefit the connection of the side panels to the bottom panel 224

The side plates and/or the connecting plates 22c comprise a plurality of plate bodies, and adjacent plate bodies are connected through arc transition. By arranging the arc transition between two adjacent plate bodies, the stress at the joint of the plate bodies is uniformly dispersed on the arc surface, and the stress difference between the joint and other positions is reduced. In addition, sharp corners are avoided from being formed on the side walls of the liner 220, preventing a user or operator from being scratched.

Regarding the depth of the installation step 225, that is, the offset distance of the installation step 225 from the original plate surface, the installation step 225 is located at the bottom of the side plate and/or at the middle of the side of the connection plate 22c away from the base plate 22b, and both ends of the installation step 225 extend toward the connection point of the adjacent plate bodies, the step depth thereof becomes gradually smaller. Namely, the size of the arc part at the joint of the plate bodies is kept, and the bending deformation is carried out on the part, so that the hardness of the arc part is higher than that of other parts, the plate bodies at the joint cannot shake and deform in the matching process of the side plates and the connecting plate 22c, and the position of the joint can be used as a reference standard for matching in the installation process. The step depth is 0.1-5 mm, 1mm, 2mm and 3mm are exemplified.

When the mounting step 225 is located at the bottom of the side plate, the plate thickness at the top of the connecting plate 22c is equivalent to the depth of the mounting step 225; when the mounting step 225 is located at the top of the connection plate 22c, the plate thickness of the bottom of the side plate is equivalent to the depth of the mounting step 225. The mounting step 225 has a lower step surface and a higher step surface, and when the top of the connecting plate 22c or the bottom of the side plate is matched with the mounting step 225, a plate surface of the connecting plate 22c or the side plate is matched with the lower step surface, and a plate surface facing away from the lower step surface is flush with the higher step surface.

Regarding the offset angle of the mounting step 225 with respect to the original plate surface, the offset angle α of the step is 1 ° to 20 °, for example, 3 °,5 °, 10 °, 15 °. The offset angle α is related to the step depth, and in the case of a certain depth and offset angle, both ends of the installation step 225 are gradually changed until disappearing.

The base plate 22b and the connecting plate 22c are connected by means of roll welding. The width of the mounting step 225 corresponds to the overlapping width of the connecting plate 22c and the side plate, and in this embodiment, the width of the mounting step 225 is 1 to 20mm, for example, 3mm, 5mm, and 10 mm. By setting the proper width, the lap joint requirement of the connecting plate 22c and the side plate (on the basis of realizing firm connection of the connecting plate and the side plate) can be met, and materials are not wasted due to too much overlapping.

Support table 228 at bottom of liner 220

Referring to fig. 10 to 13, the inner container 220 has a receiving cavity 221 in which a basket 800 of the dish washer is mounted; the bottom of the liner 220 is provided with a supporting table 228 protruding into the accommodating cavity 221, and the top of the supporting table 228 is provided with a reference supporting surface for supporting the bottom of the bowl basket 800.

Support table 228 may be a separate component from bladder 220, mounted to the bottom of bladder 220 when desired; of course, in some embodiments, the support stand 228 may be integrally formed with the liner 220, and the support stand 228 may be a solid support stand 228 or a hollow support stand 228, for example, the support stand 228 is formed by protruding and extending from the bottom of the liner 220 toward the receiving cavity 221, and the support stand 228 is formed by protruding and extending from the substrate 22b toward the receiving cavity 221, so that the forming efficiency of the support stand 228 can be greatly increased. The material of the support table 228 may be any of a wide variety of materials, such as metal, plastic, rubber, ceramic, glass, etc., for example, stainless steel. The shape of the support stand 228 may be any of a wide variety of shapes, such as triangle, polygon, circle, etc., and for example, the support stand 228 may be rectangular, and the length direction of the support stand 228 may be along the length direction of the sidewall of the liner 220. The reference support surface is a plane, and is arranged in parallel with the horizontal plane in order to ensure that the support points of the bowl basket 800 are positioned in the same horizontal plane.

The support stand 228 may be an integral support stand 228, in which case, in order to support the bowl basket 800, the support stand 228 needs to cover a relatively large area, and of course, the support stand 228 may be disposed in a long strip shape and extend along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the liner 220. Specifically, the support stand 228 is integrally formed, the support stand 228 extends around the circumference of the liner 220, and the length of the support stand 228 is greater than half the circumference of the liner 220. In order to ensure that the bowl basket 800 placed in the liner 220 can be stable, and to also consider the space utilization of the liner 220, at least three support points are required to be provided for supporting the bowl basket 800, and the three support points can be uniformly distributed along the circumferential direction of the liner 220.

In some embodiments, the number of the support tables 228 is plural, the plurality of support tables 228 are arranged along the circumference of the bottom of the liner 220, and the top surfaces of the plurality of support tables 228 are in the same plane to form the reference support surface. At this time, the area of the single support stand 228 is small, but the number is large, which is equivalent to the number of side walls of the liner 220, that is, the number of corners formed by the adjacent side walls, for example. In this way, while the space of the liner 220 is fully utilized, the reference supporting surface formed by the supporting platforms 228 covers the whole liner 220, so that the bowl basket 800 is stably placed, and the space of the liner 220 is utilized to the greatest extent.

Taking the case of a hexahedral configuration as an example of the liner 220, the cross section of the liner 220 is a quadrilateral, and the four support tables 228 are respectively disposed at four corners of the quadrilateral. Because the positions of the four support stands 228 are specific, when the four support feet of the bowl basket 800 are placed on the liner 220, the bowl basket 800 can be placed on the four support stands 228 very quickly and accurately, thereby improving the placement efficiency of the bowl basket 800.

In this embodiment, the bottom of the inner container 220 is provided with the supporting table 228 protruding into the accommodating cavity 221, and the top of the supporting table 228 is provided with the reference supporting surface, so that when the bowl basket 800 is placed in the inner container 220, the supporting feet at the bottom of the bowl basket can be placed on the flat reference supporting surface, and the placement of the bowl basket 800 is very stable and reliable; because the supporting table 228 protrudes from the bottom of the liner 220, the supporting leg is easier to be positioned when searching for the supporting table 228, thereby improving the efficiency of placing the bowl basket 800.

The relevant structural features of the side and bottom panels 224 in cooperation with the sealing frame 210 and the outer frame 230, respectively, are described below

Various mating features are described from the bottom to the top of the liner 220, including the support 235 and the relief notch 22a, which mate with the outer frame 230, and the limited flange 226 and the support 235, which mate with the sealing frame 210.

Referring to fig. 14 to 17, regarding the supporting member 235, a supporting member 235 is disposed at the bottom of the outer frame 230 corresponding to the bottom of the inner container 220, one end of the supporting member 235 is connected to the outer frame 230, and the other end is abutted against one side of the bottom of the inner container 220 opposite to the receiving cavity 221.

In this embodiment, the support 235 may be in the form of a plurality of support posts, support bosses, etc. In order to improve the stability of the support member 235 against the liner 220, the number of the support members 235 is plural, and the plurality of support members 235 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the outer frame 230. The supporting member 235 may be disposed independently of the outer frame 230, and connected to the bottom of the outer frame 230 by screw connection, snap connection, or adhesive connection, or the like, however, the supporting member 235 may be integrally formed with the outer frame 230, i.e. formed by protruding from the bottom of the outer frame 230 into the installation space 231. The number of the support columns is three or four as an example, and the support columns are respectively arranged corresponding to the connection positions of the plate bodies of the side plates. The support 235 may be made of various materials, such as plastic, rubber, etc.

The support 235 is exemplified by a support column, and the support 235 includes a support column, and the top of the support column is attached to the bottom surface of the liner 220. By setting the top of the support column as a face, the contact area of the support column and the bottom of the liner 220 is advantageously increased, thereby advantageously improving the effectiveness and stability of single support column support.

In order to further improve the stability of the cooperation between the support member 235 and the bottom of the inner container 220, a positioning groove 229 is provided at the bottom of the inner container 220 corresponding to the position of the support member 235, and one end of the support member 235 away from the outer frame 230 abuts against the positioning groove 229. Through the setting of constant head tank 229 for the top of support 235 can be stable with the bottom butt of inner bag 220, even when inner bag 220 vibrates, support 235 also can not break away from the inner bag 220 bottom, thereby has increased the support stability of support 235 by a wide margin.

The number of the supporting tables 228 is plural, the supporting tables 228 are arranged along the circumferential direction of the bottom of the liner 220, and the top surfaces of the supporting tables 228 are in the same plane to form the reference supporting surface.

Referring to fig. 12 and 13, when the support stand 228 is formed to protrude from the bottom of the inner container 220 toward the receiving chamber 221, a groove is formed at a side of the inner container 220 facing the outer frame 230, and the groove may serve as the positioning groove 229.

In other words, the bottom of the liner 220 protrudes and extends in the direction of the accommodating chamber 221 to form a support table 228, and a positioning groove 229 corresponding to the support 235 is formed on the back surface of the support table 228; wherein the top of the support table 228 has a datum support surface for supporting the bottom of the bowl basket 800. At this time, the supporting table 228 in the accommodating cavity 221 of the liner 220 is organically combined with the positioning groove 229 on the side of the liner 220 facing the outer frame 230, so that the supporting table 228 and the positioning groove 229 can finish processing only by one process, thereby greatly improving the production efficiency of the liner 220 and reasonably utilizing the space.

In order to reduce the transmission of vibration and the propagation of noise of the liner 220, the support 235 includes an elastic member and/or a flexible member. When the vibration of the inner container 220 is transferred to the supporting member 235, the vibration is buffered and absorbed by the supporting member 235 due to the elasticity of the supporting member 235, so that the vibration transferred from the supporting member 235 to the outer frame 230 is greatly reduced, thereby effectively blocking the transfer of the vibration and further reducing the generation of noise, and being beneficial to reducing the noise of the dish washer.

Regarding the avoidance notch 22a, a side of the bottom of the inner container 220 opposite to the receiving cavity 221 is provided with a avoidance notch 22a recessed toward the receiving cavity 221 corresponding to the avoidance notch 22a of the outer frame 230. The escape notch 22a is a long groove recessed into the installation space 231 for escaping the guide rail, and the escape notch 22a is formed. In order to make full use of the space, the extending direction of the avoidance gap 22a is identical to the length direction of the guide rail, and in order to place the outer frame 230 and the inner container 220 as large as possible in the housing 100 having a constant space, the direction of the avoidance gap 22a is set along the length direction of the side edge of the inner container 220.

The avoiding notch 22a is formed by recessing the junction between the side wall and the bottom of the liner 220 into the accommodating cavity 221. The avoiding notch 22a is formed by recessing the inner container 220 into the accommodating cavity 221, and the reduced space of the accommodating cavity 221 is positioned at the junction of the surfaces, so that the space utilization rate of the part is lower due to the existence of the included angle, namely, the space with lower utilization rate is provided with the guide rail, and the space utilization rate is greatly improved; from another perspective, if the guide rail is installed separately, the space span occupied by the guide rail is very large, so that the space spanned by the guide rail cannot be fully utilized, and the technical scheme in the embodiment fully utilizes the part of space.

The avoiding notch 22a faces the wall surface of the outer frame 230 and/or the avoiding notch 22a faces the wall surface of the accommodating cavity 221, and is in arc transition connection with the side wall and the bottom of the inner container 220. The outer wall surface of the avoidance gap 22a facing the outer frame 230 is in arc transition, so that the outer wall surface of the liner 220 is smooth, the outer wall surface is prevented from scratching a user or an operator, and meanwhile, the inner wall surface of the outer frame 230 is prevented from being scratched or scratched with the inner wall surface of the outer frame 230. The inner wall surface of the avoidance gap 22a facing the accommodating cavity 221 forms an arc transition, so that water can be more smoothly left from the upper surface, and the circulation of water in the accommodating cavity 221 is facilitated.

The escape groove 236 is a long groove recessed into the installation space 231. In order to fully utilize the space, the extending direction of the avoiding groove 236 is consistent with the length direction of the guide rail, and in order to place the outer frame 230 and the inner container 220 as large as possible in the housing 100 having a certain space, the direction of the avoiding groove 236 is set along the length direction of the side edge of the inner container 220.

The avoiding groove 236 is formed by recessing the junction between the side wall and the bottom of the outer frame 230 into the installation space 231. The avoiding groove 236 is formed by recessing the outer frame 230 into the installation space 231, the reduced space of the installation space 231 is positioned at the junction of the surfaces, and the utilization rate of the part of space is lower due to the existence of the included angle, namely, the space with lower utilization rate is used for installing the guide rail, so that the utilization rate of the space is greatly improved; from another perspective, if the guide rail is separately installed, the guide rail will protrude from the outer frame 230, and the space occupied by the guide rail is very large, so that the space spanned by the guide rail cannot be fully utilized, and the technical solution in this embodiment fully utilizes the space.

Returning to the structure of the avoidance gap 22a of the inner container 220, the avoidance gap 22a faces the wall surface of the outer frame 230 and/or the avoidance gap 22a faces the wall surface of the accommodating cavity 221, and the arc-shaped transition is connected with the side wall and the bottom of the inner container 220. The wall surface of the avoidance gap 22a facing the outer frame 230 comprises an outwards convex arc surface, i.e. the wall surface of the avoidance gap 22a facing the installation space 231 is provided with a outwards convex arc; the wall surface of the avoiding groove 236 facing the side of the liner 220 has a concave arc surface 237 corresponding to the convex arc. By the arrangement, one side of the avoidance groove 236 facing the inner container 220 does not influence the movement of the inner container 220, so that the inner container 220 and the outer frame 230 can be smoothly transited even if collision or extrusion exists, and the avoidance groove 236 is prevented from damaging the inner container 220 to the protruding part of the installation space 231.

On top of the outer frame 230, there are provided snap-fit, snap-fit and fastener-mounting (for example screw-mounting) structures connected to the sealing frame 210, which structures are located on mounting edges of the top of the outer frame 230, which mounting edges extend upwardly from the top of the outer frame 230. It should be noted that, the connection manners of the outer frame 230 and the sealing frame 210 in the front, back, left and right directions may be the same or different. In this embodiment, the left and right directions are mainly snap-fit connection, and the front and rear directions are mainly screw-connection, which is selected because of the improved space utilization. The left and right sides of the outer frame 230 are directly connected to the left and right side plates of the housing 100 without using the installation space 231 of the fastening screw, and if the fastening screw is used, the overall volume of the dishwasher needs to be increased; in the front-rear direction of the outer frame 230, it is necessary to install the control panel 600, the decoration panel, the air inlet assembly 500, the water inlet assembly, etc., such that the front-rear side of the outer frame 230 has a sufficient space for screw fastening operation. By the arrangement, the fastening of screws is reduced, the buckling connection is increased, so that the connection efficiency of the sealing frame 210 and the outer frame 230 is improved, and the connection strength of the sealing frame 210 and the outer frame 230 is ensured; meanwhile, the space is fully and reasonably utilized, so that the liner assembly 200 is more compact in structure and more stable in connection. See sealing frame 210 section below for specific snap-fit and fastening relationships.

The following describes the cooperation between the liner 220 and the outer frame 230, referring to fig. 20 to 29:

The cooperation between the inner container 220 and the outer frame 230 not only comprises the relation between the supporting member 235 structure, the avoiding groove 236 and the avoiding notch 22a, but also comprises a buffer member structure which is arranged between the inner container 220 and the sealing frame 210 and is described below, wherein the buffer member not only plays a role in blocking vibration transmission and reducing noise, but also plays a role in protecting the inner container 220, and avoids the inner container 220 from being bumped in the vibration process and the transportation and installation processes.

Specifically, the outer frame 230 has an installation space 231, and the inner container 220 is installed in the installation space 231; a buffer is disposed between the inner wall of the outer frame 230 and the outer side wall of the inner container 220.

The buffer member may be in various forms, such as elastic member, such as spring, rubber column, rubber pad, etc., or flexible body, such as cotton fabric, sponge, foam, etc. That is, the cushioning member is made of one or more of sponge, foam, plastic, and rubber. The shape of the material can be columnar, sheet-like and the like. There may be many positions where the buffer is provided, such as between the side plate of the liner 220 and the side wall of the outer frame 230, between the bottom plate 224 of the liner 220 and the side wall of the outer frame 230. Specifically, the outer sidewall of the inner container 220 includes a sidewall and a bottom wall, and a buffer is provided between the bottom of the outer frame 230 and the bottom wall of the inner container 220, and/or between the inner sidewall of the outer frame 230 and the outer sidewall of the inner container 220. Limiting plates are arranged on the left side and the right side of the outer frame 230, and a buffer layer is arranged between the limiting plates and the outer side wall of the inner container 220.

When the inner container 220 is shifted or rocked during the working process, the transporting process and the mounting process, the inner container 220 will squeeze the buffer member instead of directly colliding with or squeezing the outer frame 230, so that the impact received by the inner container 220 is effectively buffered, and the inner container 220 is effectively protected.

The bottom of the outer frame 230 is provided with a supporting member 235 corresponding to the bottom of the inner container 220, one end of the supporting member 235 is connected with the outer frame 230, and the other end is abutted to one side of the bottom of the inner container 220 opposite to the accommodating cavity 221. The bottom of the inner container 220 is provided with a positioning groove 229 corresponding to the position of the supporting member 235, and one end of the supporting member 235 away from the outer frame 230 abuts against the positioning groove 229. The support member 235 may be made of an elastic material or a flexible material, i.e., the support member 235 may also act as a type of cushioning member.

In this embodiment, by arranging the buffer member between the outer sidewall of the inner container 220 and the inner sidewall of the outer frame 230, when the vibration of the inner container 220 is transmitted to the buffer member, the vibration is transmitted and absorbed in the buffer member, thereby blocking the transmission of the vibration, reducing the vibration of the outer frame 230, and reducing the noise generated by the outer frame 230; noise generated by the liner 220 and its internal components is greatly attenuated by the buffer member when passing through the buffer member, and at this time, the buffer member plays a role in silencing and reducing noise, and the noise is greatly reduced from various aspects by the arrangement of the buffer member.

The specific structure of the sealing frame 210 will be described below

The shape of the sealing frame 210 may be a wide variety of shapes, such as triangle, circle, polygon, etc., and the sealing frame 210 is described as a quadrangular frame as an example, with the shape of the outer frame 230 and the inner container 220 being preferably adapted. The sealing frame 210 includes four frame strips 211, which correspond to the front, rear, left, and right sidewalls of the inner container 220 and the outer frame 230, respectively, and the four frame strips 211 are connected end to end in sequence and form a frame body. The four frame strips 211 can be integrally formed, for example, integrally injection-molded; or can be mutually independent and then connected through a connecting structure. The sealing frame 210 may be made of various materials, such as plexiglas, rubber, plastic, etc., for example, rubber materials and/or plastics.

The sealing frame 210 is provided with a mounting groove 216 and the sealing frame 210 on one side facing the inner container 220 and the outer frame 230, and a fixing structure matched with the inner container 220 and the outer frame 230 is arranged on the groove wall, so that the sealing frame 210, the inner container 220 and the outer frame 230 can be stably and reliably connected together. It should be noted that the sealing frame 210 not only serves to connect the liner 220 and the outer frame 230, but also seals between the liner 220 and the outer frame 230, and seals between the liner assembly 200 and the dishwasher case 100.

The following describes the cooperation of the sealing frame 210 and the liner 220

A liner 220, wherein the liner 220 is provided with a containing cavity 221 with an open top; the sealing frame 210 is disposed at the top of the liner 220, a sealing groove 215 is formed on a side of the sealing frame 210 facing the liner 220, and an edge of the top of the liner 220 is accommodated in the sealing groove 215.

The seal grooves 215 extend along the length direction of the frame strips 211, and the seal grooves 215 may be formed in one of the frame strips 211, or may be formed in a plurality of the four frame strips 211 at the same time, for example, four seal grooves 215 are formed in all of the four frame strips. The cross-sectional shape of the seal slot 215 may be any number of shapes, such as trapezoidal, triangular, rectangular, etc., for example, rectangular. The sealing groove 215 is fastened on the top of the inner container 220, the bottom of the groove is positioned on the top, and the notch is opened downwards. When the top of the liner 220 is received in the sealing groove 215, the opening edge of the top of the liner 220 is wrapped by the sealing frame 210, so that water in the liner 220 cannot pass through the connection between the liner 220 and the sealing frame 210.

In order to increase the connection reliability between the sealing frame 210 and the liner 220, the liner assembly 200 includes a limit flange 226, where the limit flange 226 is disposed on the outer sidewall of the top of the liner 220; the side wall of the sealing groove 215 is provided with a supporting rib 21b corresponding to the limit flange 226, and the bottom surface of the limit flange 226 abuts against the top of the supporting rib 21 b.

The limit flange 226 extends along the length direction of the side plate of the inner container 220, may be integrally formed with the inner container 220, or may be separately formed, and is fixedly connected with the outer side wall of the inner container 220, for example, the limit flange 226 is formed by bending the edge of the opening of the inner container 220 towards the outside of the accommodating cavity 221. The arrangement greatly simplifies the manufacturing and assembling process of the limit flange 226, and simultaneously, the limit flange is convenient to be matched with the sealing frame 210 due to outward bending, and meanwhile, the limit flange does not occupy the space of the accommodating cavity 221. The material of the limit flaps 226 may be any number, such as metal, for example stainless steel.

In order to make the limit flange 226 better match with the supporting rib 21b to increase the matching stability of the limit flange 226 and the supporting rib 21b, the limit flange 226 is bent downwards from the edge of the opening of the liner 220, and the bottom of the limit flange 226 is attached to the top surface of the supporting rib 21 b.

The support rib 21b is provided on the inner wall of the seal groove 215 so as to extend along the longitudinal direction of the seal groove 215. The supporting rib 21b may be an integral long rib or may be a plurality of ribs arranged at intervals, and the specific form of the supporting rib may be set according to the form of the limit flange 226, that is, the supporting rib corresponds to the form of the limit flange 226. Of course, in some embodiments, the limit flange 226 needs to be provided with a avoidance bit, so that a avoidance bit is also provided at a position corresponding to the supporting rib 21 b. The support rib 21b may be provided independently of the sealing frame 210; or may be integrally formed with the sealing frame 210, for example, by integral injection molding. The material of the supporting rib 21b may be any of a wide variety of hard materials, such as metal, plexiglas, etc., and in this embodiment, the same material as that of the sealing frame 210 is used, for example, rubber, plastic, etc.

Regarding the cross-sectional shape of the supporting rib 21b, there may be many, such as a rectangle, a triangle, etc., taking a right triangle as an example, a right-angled side (supporting surface) of the supporting rib 21b is attached to the groove wall of the seal groove 215, another right-angled side faces the limit flange 226 (groove bottom), the distance between the oblique side and the groove wall of the mounting supporting rib 21b is gradually increased from the groove opening to the groove bottom, that is, a guiding slope is formed to guide the entry of the limit flange 226.

The limit hem 226 forms the elasticity clearance after buckling deformation downwards for limit hem 226 has elasticity, and when limit hem 226 gets into seal groove 215, the spacing hem 226 of direction inclined plane guide gets into, and in this process, limit hem 226 takes place elastic deformation by the extrusion of direction inclined plane, and when limit hem 226 completely gets into in the seal groove 215, limit hem 226 pops out under the effect of elasticity restoring force, realizes that the laminating of direction hem and holding surface supports.

For example, the sealing effect between the sealing frame 210 and the liner 220 is improved, the liner assembly 200 further includes a sealing ring 21a, and the sealing ring 21a is disposed between the top of the liner 220 and the bottom of the sealing groove 215; and/or, the sealing ring 21a is disposed between the side wall of the top of the liner 220 and the side wall of the sealing groove 215. The sealing ring 21a may be disposed in a plurality of positions, as mentioned above, between the top and the bottom of the groove, it should be noted that, when the limit flange 226 is turned and extended downward, the bending portion is located at the top, and the bending portion abuts against the sealing ring 21 a.

The material of the seal ring 21a may be a material having elasticity such as rubber, plastic, etc., for example, rubber. The sealing ring 21a is annularly arranged and embedded in the communicated sealing groove 215; of course, when the seal grooves 215 of the four frame strips 211 are arranged at intervals, the seal ring 21a is formed by intermittent multiple segments, for example, four segments, and each segment is respectively arranged in an independent seal groove 215. The cross-sectional shape of the seal ring 21a may be any of a wide variety of shapes, such as circular, rectangular, triangular, etc., and in this embodiment, a circular arrangement is taken as an example. A groove matched with the shape of the sealing ring 21a is formed at the groove bottom, so that the sealing ring 21a can be matched with the sealing groove 215 better. The radial dimension of the seal ring 21a is greater than the groove width of the seal groove 215 such that the seal ring 21a is a tight fit with the seal groove 215.

In order not to damage the sealing ring 21a when being matched with the sealing ring 21a, the liner assembly 200 comprises a limit flange 226, the limit flange 226 is formed by bending the edge of the opening of the liner 220 towards the outside of the accommodating cavity 221, and the bending parts are connected through arc transition.
