Door lock for cleaning machine and cleaning machine
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of dish washers, in particular to a door lock for a cleaning machine and the cleaning machine.
Background
The dishwasher generally includes a body having a hollow washing chamber, an opening enabling the washing chamber to be opened is opened at a front side of the body, and a door body provided at the front side of the body for opening or closing the opening. The door body is usually locked to the body by means of a door lock in the closed state of the door body to ensure that the door body does not open during use of the dishwasher.
The Chinese patent No. CN214035161U discloses a door lock structure of a dish washer and a dish washer using the same (application No. CN 202021963616.6), which comprises a door body of the dish washer and a lock tongue for locking the door body, wherein a buckling seat matched with the lock tongue in position is arranged outside the door body, the lock tongue can move to the buckling seat and is buckled with the buckling seat to lock the door body, a mounting hole is formed in the door body, a fixing piece for fixing the buckling seat is arranged inside the door body, a connecting piece capable of being inserted into the door body through the mounting hole is arranged in the buckling seat, and the connecting piece is connected with the fixing piece to fix the buckling seat on the door body.
The door body is convenient to lock on the body, but after the lock tongue is buckled in the pit, the lock tongue is accommodated in the pit without acting on the door body, and good sealing between the door body and the body is difficult to realize, even, the door body can take the bottom rotating shaft of the door body as a support to be in a natural eversion state, and further, the sealing between the door body and the body is adversely affected.
In order to solve the above-mentioned problem, the inventor's prior application 202210046983.7 "door lock for cleaning machine and cleaning machine" discloses a structure, which is provided with a locking piece matched with the top locking groove of the door body, and in the door closing state, the locking hook of the locking piece is turned down to be matched and clamped with the locking groove, and the pushing component always pushes the rear end of the locking piece forward to enable the locking hook to be hooked and tightly matched with the inner wall of the locking groove, so that the door body always keeps the pressing force towards the direction of the cleaning machine body, and the tightness between the door body and the body is improved. However, the applicant found that, in the door closing process, the friction force moment in the rotation process of the locking member is larger due to the limitation of the locking member structure, so that the consumer still needs to apply a larger door closing force to lock the door body, and the user experience is affected to a certain extent.

In the closing process, the first guiding surface 301 corresponds to the third arc surface 3313, and in the closing state, the lower edge of the first guiding surface 301 is in press fit with the second vertical surface 302.
A switching structure is provided between the third guide surface 303 and the fourth guide surface 304 of the locking member 32, which is capable of switching the force-receiving position of the pushing block 331 applied to the locking member 32 from the third guide surface 303 to the first guide surface 301 during the closing of the door. The front end surface of the projection 3311 is formed with a clearance area a recessed gradually backward upward from the upper edge of the first vertical surface, and the clearance area a and the lower edge of the second circular arc surface of the third guide surface 303 are in guide fit together to form a switching structure.

Other matching structures of this embodiment are consistent with those of the previous application 202210046983.7, and are not described in detail herein.
In this embodiment, the force and force matching surfaces in the door closing process are two groups staggered from front to back, the first guide surface 301 and the second guide surface 302 on the rear side are used for pushing the locking piece 32 to turn forward after the door is closed, the third guide surface 303 and the fourth guide surface 304 on the front side are used for limiting the position of the locking piece in the door opening state, and the force required to be overcome in the door closing process is correspondingly reduced due to the fact that the rotation moment of the friction force corresponding to the third guide surface 303 is greatly reduced, so that the door closing effort-saving effect is achieved, and after the door is closed, the rotation moment of the friction force corresponding to the first guide surface 301 is relatively large, the force applied to the locking piece 32 for turning forward can still be kept, so that the locking piece 32 can grasp the locking groove 31, and the door body is kept with relatively large grasping force, and the tightness of the door body is improved.
The door lock of this embodiment is used:
As shown in fig. 8, in the door-open state, the third guide surface 303 and the fourth guide surface 304 of the locking member 32 abut against and friction-limit, so as to prevent the locking member 32 from rotating anticlockwise;
When the door is closed, the locking piece 32 needs to be rotated anticlockwise, the locking piece 32 is pushed by the trigger component 34, at this time, the third guide surface 303 of the locking piece 32 is in contact with the fourth guide surface 304 of the pushing block 331, and the first guide surface 301 is not in contact with the second guide surface 302, because the third guide surface 303 of the locking piece 2 is an arc surface taking the rotating shaft of the locking piece 32 as the center, the thrust force F pushing the movable block 331 is 0 to the rotating force arm of the locking piece 32, the thrust force F does not have rotating moment to the locking piece 32, the thrust force F can generate friction force when the third guide surface 303 and the fourth guide surface 304 slide relatively, namely, the door is required to overcome the rotating moment generated by the friction force F1 to the locking piece 32, and because the L1 is reduced, the rotating moment of the friction force is reduced, the door closing force is reduced, and labor is saved;
when the locking piece 32 rotates anticlockwise against the friction rotation moment under the action of the door closing force and passes through the turning point shown in fig. 9, the force arm between the thrust force F of the locking piece 32 and the rotation center of the locking piece 32 gradually becomes larger from 0, so that anticlockwise rotation moment is formed, and the locking piece 32 is pushed to rotate anticlockwise;
As shown in fig. 10, the force pushing the locking member 32 to rotate counterclockwise is the guiding inclined plane 305, and the force bearing surface between the locking member 32 and the pushing block 331 gradually changes from the engagement of the third guiding surface 303 and the fourth guiding surface 304 to the engagement of the first guiding surface 301 and the second guiding surface 302;
as shown in fig. 11, after the door is closed, the lower end of the first guiding surface 301 of the locking member 32 is in press fit with the second guiding surface 302, and the pushing force F of the pushing block 331 and the long arm formed by the center of the rotating shaft of the locking member 32 maintain a large door locking force.
