Here, it can be understood that the top of the upper basket 3 is opened and the top of the lower basket 4 is also opened to facilitate loading of dishes.

According to the dishwasher 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, by at least partially staggering the upper basket 3 located at the first slide-out position and the lower basket 4 located at the second slide-out position in the front-rear direction, the upper basket 3 can be prevented from shielding the lower basket 4, and a user can load tableware on the upper basket 3 and the lower 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 technology and improving the loading efficiency of the tableware.

In one embodiment of the invention, as shown in fig. 3 and 4, at least a substantial part of the lower bowl basket 4 extends beyond the front end of the upper bowl basket 3 when the upper bowl basket 3 is in the first slide-out position and the lower bowl basket 4 is in the second slide-out position. That is, the lower bowl basket 4 may mostly extend out of the front end surface of the upper bowl basket 3, and the lower bowl basket 4 may also completely extend out of the front end surface of the upper bowl basket 3, and at this time, the upper bowl basket 3 and the lower bowl basket 4 are not overlapped in the up-down direction and the front-back direction. From this, can further avoid going up bowl basket 3 and shelter from bowl basket 4 down, convenience of customers loads the tableware to going up bowl basket 3 and bowl basket 4 down simultaneously. Here, at least most of the parts of the lower bowl basket 4 extending beyond the upper bowl basket 3 in the front-rear direction are larger than the parts of the lower bowl basket 4 and the upper bowl basket 3 overlapping in the up-down direction.

Of course, the invention is not limited to this, and the upper bowl basket 3 and the lower bowl basket 4 may be staggered in the front-rear direction: the upper bowl basket 3 is positioned at the front side, the lower bowl basket 4 is positioned at the rear side, namely the distance of pulling out the upper bowl basket 3 is greater than that of pulling out the lower bowl basket 4.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2 and 3, the door body 2 is horizontally arranged when the washing chamber is opened, and when the door body 2 opens the washing chamber, the lower bowl basket 4 is adapted to be supported on the door body 2 and to be slidable along the door body 2, so that the lower bowl basket 4 can be conveniently slid to the second sliding-out position, and the operation is more convenient. 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 the open mode, open the washing chamber, and the door body 2 is the state of horizontal arrangement, at this moment, go up bowl basket 3 and bowl basket 4 down all can the roll-off washing chamber to at the in-process in bowl basket 4 roll-off washing chamber down, bowl basket 4 under the door body 2 can be supported, and bowl basket 4 can slide relative to the door body 2 down, like this, the door body 2 can play the effect of support and direction to bowl basket 4 down, thereby can improve the gliding stability of bowl basket 4 down.

In one example, referring to fig. 4 and 5, the door body 2 may be provided with a first sliding member (e.g., a guide rail or a first slide rail as described below), the lower bowl basket 4 may be provided with a second sliding member (e.g., a roller or a second slide rail as described below), and the lower bowl basket 4 is adapted to be moved to a second sliding-out position by the second sliding member cooperating with the first sliding member. That is, the first slide is slidably engaged with the second slide to move the lower bowl basket 4 to the second slid-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 cooperate with the first slide rail in the front-to-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 relatively slide in the front-rear direction. Optionally, the first slide rail and the second slide rail may be nested, that is, one of the first slide rail and the second slide rail may be sleeved inside the other one to realize relative sliding therebetween, so that the structure is compact, and the relative sliding therebetween is more stable and reliable.

Further, the first slide rail includes two, and two first slide rails are arranged on the door body 2 along controlling the interval, and two first slide rails parallel arrangement and all extend to the other end (for example the front end of the door body 2 shown in fig. 3) from one end of the door body 2 (for example the rear end of the door body 2 shown in fig. 3), and the second slide rail corresponds to first slide rail one-to-one. From this, can improve the stability of bowl basket 4 support down, improve the stability of bowl basket 4 slip in-process down.

Alternatively, the first slide rail is movably provided on the door body 2 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the pulling-out distance of the lower bowl basket 4 can be increased, and the upper bowl basket 3 is prevented from covering the lower bowl basket 4. Specifically, in the process that the lower bowl basket 4 slides out from the second washing position, the second slide rail of the lower bowl basket 4 gradually approaches to and contacts the first slide rail of the door body 2, the second slide rail on the lower bowl basket 4 moves forward relative to the first slide rail after the second slide rail contacts the first slide rail, at the moment, the first slide rail is stationary, and when the second slide rail slides to the foremost end of the first slide rail and continues to pull out the lower bowl basket 4, at the moment, the first slide rail drives the lower bowl basket 4 to move forward relative to the door body 2 together. From this, not only can increase the distance of pulling out of bowl basket 4 down, simultaneously, first slide rail can also play the supporting role to bowl basket 4 down, improves bowl basket 4's stability down.

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

In some examples, referring to fig. 3 and 4, one of the first sliding member and the second sliding member is formed as a guide rail 21 and the other is formed as a roller 41, the guide rail 21 is adapted to be slidably engaged with the roller 41 in the front-rear direction, that is, the roller 41 is formed on the lower bowl basket 4 to be slidably engaged with the guide rail 21 when the guide rail 21 is formed on the door body 2, and the guide rail 21 is formed on the lower bowl basket 4 to be slidably engaged with the roller 41 when the roller 41 is formed on the door body 2, so as to realize the sliding of the lower bowl basket 4 relative to the door body 2. For example, in a specific example, the left side and the right side of the lower bowl basket 4 are provided with a plurality of rollers 41, at least two rollers 41 of the plurality of rollers 41 are arranged at intervals along the up-down direction, the door body 2 is formed with a guide rail 21 extending along the front-back direction, when the lower bowl basket 4 slides on the door body 2, the guide rail 21 on the door body 2 passes through between the at least two rollers 41 arranged at intervals along the up-down direction, so that the guide and the relative sliding of the door body 2 to the lower bowl basket 4 are realized.

Further, the guide rail 21 is provided on the door body 2 movably in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the pulling-out distance of the lower bowl basket 4 can be increased, and the upper bowl basket 3 is prevented from covering the lower bowl basket 4. Specifically, in the process that the lower bowl basket 4 slides out from the second washing position, the roller 41 of the lower bowl basket 4 gradually approaches and contacts the guide rail 21 on the door body 2, and after the roller 41 contacts the guide rail 21, the roller 41 on the lower bowl basket 4 moves forward relative to the guide rail 21, and at the moment, the guide rail is not moved. When the roller 41 slides to the foremost 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 relative to the door body 2. From this, not only can increase bowl basket 4's pull-out distance down, simultaneously, guide rail 21 can also play the supporting role to bowl basket 4 down, improves bowl basket 4's stability down.

Further, the guide rail 21 is formed on the door body 2, and a limiting protrusion (not shown) is formed at one end of the guide rail 21 away from the washing chamber. Wherein, optionally, the limiting protrusion is formed by bending one end of the guide rail 21, for example, the limiting protrusion is formed by bending the front end of the guide rail 21 upwards. Therefore, when the roller 41 on the lower bowl basket 4 slides to the position of the limiting protrusion, the limiting protrusion can limit the roller 41 to continuously slide, so that the lower bowl basket 4 can be kept at the second sliding-out position, the limiting and positioning effects are achieved, and the slipping of the lower bowl basket 4 is avoided.

In some embodiments of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, at least one pair of guide wheels 11 is disposed on each of two 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, the upper guide rails 31 extending in the front-back direction are disposed on each of the left and right sides of the upper bowl basket 3, and the upper guide rails 31 are slidably disposed between two guide wheels 11 of the pair of guide wheels 11 in the front-back direction. So as to make the upper basket 3 slidable between the first washing position and the first slide-out position.
