Embodiment

[0033] Some embodiments provide a dishwasher. As shown in FIG. 1, an inner tub 1 is provided with an accommodating cavity for containing a dish rack, and the dish rack 2 moves between a high position and a low position relative to the inner tub.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3, an adjustment piece 3 is fixed on the inner tub, and the adjustment piece is provided with a limiting end. An adjustment support 4 is fixed on the dish rack, and the adjustment support has a sliding groove 411 allowing the limiting end to be embedded. As shown in FIG. 2, the sliding groove has a first limiting point A corresponding to the high position of the dish rack and a second limiting point B corresponding to the low position of the dish rack.

[0035] In some embodiments, a triggering member 5 is rotatably disposed on the adjustment support, and the triggering member 5 has a first status (shown in FIG. 4) of propping against a position above the limiting end of the adjustment piece when the adjustment support is located at the first limiting point A of the sliding groove, as to keep the dish rack at the high position, and a second status (shown in FIG. 5) of rotating under an external force and departing from the limiting end to make the adjustment support move toward the low position, so that the limiting end is in contact with the second limiting point B.

[0036] In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2, the adjustment support includes: a main body and a vertical mounting groove 42. The vertical mounting groove 42 is connected with the main body, and the bracket mounting groove is disposed to embed into the dish rack. When the triggering member 5 is mounted on the adjustment support, the main body and the bracket mounting groove are disposed on two sides of the triggering member 5. The adjustment support further includes a horizontal mounting groove 44 disposed on the main body. When the adjustment support is mounted on the dish rack, the horizontal mounting groove 44 is embedded into a horizontal position of the dish rack.

[0037] In the embodiments, the dish rack is formed by bending an iron wire. The iron wire, when bent, forms an iron wire extending along a horizontal direction and an iron wire extending along a vertical direction. In some embodiments, the vertical mounting groove 42 will be embedded into the iron wire extending along the vertical direction, and the horizontal mounting groove 44 will be embedded into the iron wire extending along the horizontal direction.

[0038] Meanwhile, in order to realize better fixing effect, the horizontal mounting groove 44 and the vertical mounting groove 42 are provided with reserve buckles, and the reverse buckles are arranged to clamp the bracket mounting groove on the iron wire of the dish rack.

[0039] In the embodiments, since the two sides of the triggering member 5 are limited, and such a disposing mode greatly improves the stability of the triggering member during rotation, so that the triggering member 5 is effectively prevented from shaking relative to the limiting end of the adjustment piece, and a failure in limitation of the adjustment piece is prevented.

[0040] In some embodiments, a side of the adjustment piece far away from the limiting end is provided with a plurality of buckles that are arranged along a vertical direction. As shown in FIG. 4, the buckles are embedded into a first iron wire 11, in this way the adjustment piece is connected with the dish rack.

[0041] In some embodiments, the main body is provided with a limiting groove 43 arranged to accommodate a rotary shaft. The triggering member 5 is connected with the rotary shaft through a torsional spring 6. When the dish rack moves to the high position from the low position, the torsional spring 6 is disposed to provide thrust force making the triggering member 5 rotate to the position above the limiting end.

[0042] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, one end of the torsional spring 6 is propped against the main body, and another end is propped against the triggering member 5. When the triggering member 5 rotates, the torsional spring 6 applies certain restoring force to the triggering member 5.

[0043] In some embodiments, the triggering member 5 is an adjustment handle. As shown in FIG. 2, the adjustment handle includes a propping portion that is in contact with the limiting end of the adjustment support and a pressing portion to which external force is applied.

[0044] In some embodiments, when the dish rack is in a status of the high position, a lower end of the propping portion is kept in touch with a top surface of the limiting end.

[0045] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 2, the propping portion is provided with a limiting structure. When the triggering member 5 rotates under an action of the torsional spring 6, the limiting structure is in contact with the main body of the adjustment support, as to prevent the propping portion from undue rotation.

[0046] In some embodiments, as shown in FIG. 1, a side of the adjustment piece far away from the dish rack is provided with a plurality of rollers. The rollers are divided along a vertical direction, the rollers includes a first roller group disposed at an upper part and a second roller group disposed at a lower part. Two horizontal beams are oppositely provided on the inner tub. The horizontal beams are disposed between the first roller group and the second roller group in a clamping manner. The dish rack moves horizontally in the accommodating cavity under a limitation of the horizontal beams. In some embodiments, the first roller group and the second roller group extend along an identical straight line respectively.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first roller group and the second roller group are clamped on an upper side and a lower side of each of the horizontal beams. When the dish rack needs to be taken out, the first roller group and the second roller group rotate relative to the each of the horizontal beams.

[0048] It is apparent that the abovementioned embodiments are merely examples listed for clear explanation and not intended to limit the embodiments. Those of ordinary skill in the art may also make other variations and modifications of different forms on the basis of the abovementioned description. All embodiments do not need to be listed one by one and can not be listed one by one herein. Obvious variations or modifications derived herefrom shall still fall within the scope of protection of the disclosure.
