[0043] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the layout structure of an embodiment of a dishwasher according to the present application. In this embodiment, dishwasher 10 includes a cooker cleaning cabinet 100 and a dishwashing cabinet 200. Cooker cleaning cabinet 100 is used at least for cleaning cookware, while dishwashing cabinet 200 is used at least for cleaning dishes. That is, when dishwasher 10 is sold, the function of cooker cleaning cabinet 100 is defined as cleaning cookware, and the function of dishwashing cabinet 200 is defined as cleaning dishes. Users can also clean dishes by placing dishes in the cooker cleaning cabinet or placing cookware in the dishwashing cabinet. In this application, cookware includes woks, frying pans, and skillets used for cooking, and dishware includes bowls, plates, and trays used for holding food.

[0044] Cookware is generally made of metal, while bowls can be made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. In household use, cookware is larger and more diverse in shape than bowls. Furthermore, after use, cookware tends to accumulate more grease and is more difficult to clean. Based on these differences, the dishwasher 10 of this embodiment separates bowl and cookware washing. Based on the characteristics of bowls and cookware, separate washing cabinets are provided for washing bowls and cookware, respectively. This saves space, saves water, electricity, and detergent by washing separately, and achieves efficient cleaning.

[0045] Furthermore, in order to further achieve independent cleaning, a cooker spraying system is provided in the cooker washing cabinet 100 and a bowl washing cabinet is provided with a bowl spraying system. The two spraying systems are independent of each other, that is, both can be controlled separately and cleaned separately.

[0046] In actual application, the layout of the cooker washing cabinet 100 and the dish washing cabinet 200 in a home environment is not limited in this embodiment. The two can be compactly combined together or separately arranged according to the actual kitchen environment. However, considering the control of water and gas lines, the two are generally arranged compactly.

[0047] In this embodiment, the dishwasher 10 also includes a dishware storage cabinet 300. Since a meal typically doesn't involve a large number of dishes, washing them doesn't require a large space. Therefore, a compact design allows for a dishware storage cabinet 300 to be incorporated into the dishwasher 10. A dishware spray system can also be incorporated into the dishware storage cabinet 300, providing a dishwashing function. This makes it suitable for cleaning large quantities of dishes.

[0048] To make the overall layout of the dishwasher 10 more compact and convenient for household use, in this embodiment, the dishwashing cabinet 200 and the dishware storage cabinet 300 are stacked in the vertical direction, and the stacked dishwashing cabinet 200 and the dishware storage cabinet 300 are arranged horizontally with the cooker washing cabinet 100. The height h1 of the cooker washing cabinet 100 is greater than the height h2 or h3 of either the dishwashing cabinet or the dishware storage cabinet.

[0049] Furthermore, to make the dishwasher structure more regular and adaptable to different household layouts, the height h1 of the cooker washing cabinet 100 in this embodiment is less than or equal to the sum of the height h2 of the dishwashing cabinet 200 and the height h3 of the dishware storage cabinet 300. The depth d1 of the cooker washing cabinet 100, the depth d2 of the dishwashing cabinet 200, and the depth d3 of the dishware storage cabinet 300 are the same; the entire dishwasher 10 forms a cube. For specific applications, please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 Schematic diagram of the actual application of the dishwasher shown.

[0050] In this embodiment, cookware and bowls are washed separately. For larger cookware, a cookware washing cabinet 100 is designed. Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a cooker cleaning cabinet 100 in a dishwasher 10 .

[0051] The cooker cleaning cabinet 100 has a cooker placement space 11 formed inside. The cooker placement space 11 is used to place cookers in an upright position, and the angle between the plane where the cooker opening is located and the left-right arrangement direction is greater than or equal to 45 degrees and less than or equal to 90 degrees. The upright position of the cooker is relative to the flat position of the cooker during cooking. For example, when cooking, the opening of the wok faces upwards, while in the upright position, the opening of the wok faces sideways. The cooker can be placed upright or at an angle, such as Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the structure of placing cookware in the cooker washing cabinet 100. Placing the cookware in an upright state can reduce the size of the entire dishwasher 10, so that the dishwasher 10 can achieve a compact design.

[0052] Specifically, in the cooker cleaning cabinet 100, a cooker support 12 is provided to support the cooker in an upright state. Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 3 The cooker support 12 can be a hook 121 located at the top of the cooker storage space 11, on which the handle of the cooker can be hung; the cooker support 12 can also be an inclined support frame 122, on which cookers such as cooking pots can be placed at an angle.

[0053] The cooker support 12 is generally a mesh support, which is convenient for spraying and cleaning the cookers on the support. The cooker support 12 may also include an insert 123, into which cookers such as spatulas and soup spoons can be placed for cleaning.

[0054] To address the size of the cookware, in this embodiment, the width w1 of the cooker washing cabinet 100 is smaller than the width of the dishwashing cabinet 200 in the left-right arrangement direction. This width w1 of the cooker washing cabinet 100 is designed to be greater than or equal to 100 mm and less than or equal to 300 mm, allowing the cookware to be placed upright. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ratio of the height h1 to the width w1 of the cooker washing cabinet 100 is designed to be greater than 1:1, and can be further greater than 2:1.

[0055] The cooker cleaning cabinet 100 specifically includes a cooker cabinet 14 and a cooker liner 16 slidably connected to the cooker cabinet 14. The cooker liner 16 is slidably connected to the cooker cabinet 14, allowing the cooker liner 16 to be slidably inserted into the cooker cabinet 14 or slidably pulled out of the cooker cabinet 14. To place cookware to be cleaned or remove cleaned cookware, the cooker liner 16 is pulled out of the cooker cabinet 14 to place the cookware in. After the cookware is placed, the cooker liner 16 is pushed back into the cooker cabinet 14 for cleaning.

[0056] The overall shape of the cooker inner pot 16 of this embodiment can be a cube, specifically including a front wall 161, a back wall 162, a first side wall 163, a second side wall 164, a bottom wall 165 and a top wall 166. The direction from the front wall 161 to the back wall 162 is the same as the direction in which the cooker inner pot 16 slides into the cooker cabinet 14.

[0057] The cooker liner 16 is slidably connected to the cooker cabinet 14. Specifically, a slide rail is provided between the bottom wall 165 of the cooker liner 16 and the cooker cabinet 14 to achieve the sliding connection between the two. In other embodiments, the slide rail can also be provided between the side walls (163, 164) of the cooker liner 16 and the cooker cabinet 14. In this embodiment, the slide rail serves as the base of the cooker liner 16, which can make the cooker liner 16 more stable. An electric motor or the like can be provided between the bottom wall of the cooker liner 16 and the cooker cabinet 14. A certain length of electrical wires and water pipes can be connected between the cooker liner 16 and the cooker cabinet 14 and can be secured by a drag chain. For a narrower cooker cleaning cabinet 100, the use of a drag chain can ensure that the cooker liner 16 can be pulled out and pulled out relative to the cooker cabinet 14 more smoothly.

[0058] Since the cooker cleaning cabinet 100 in this embodiment is narrow and tall, in order to ensure the stability of the cooker liner 16 when it is pulled out of and pushed into the cooker cabinet 14, a sliding support member 15 is further provided between the side wall of the cooker liner 16 and the cooker cabinet 14. Furthermore, the distance from the sliding support member 15 to the top wall 166 of the cooker liner 16 is shorter than the distance to the bottom wall 165 of the cooker liner 16, thereby making the cooker liner 16 more stable.

[0059] In this embodiment, the top wall 166 of the cooker inner container 16 is provided with a top wall opening 1661, and the cooker can be placed into the cooker inner container 16 through the top wall opening 1661. In order to ensure that the entire cooker inner container 16 is closed during cleaning, the cooker cleaning cabinet 100 is further provided with a cooker cover 17, which is provided on the top wall opening 1661. For details, please refer to Figure 6 , Figure 6 yes Figure 3 The following is a schematic diagram of the relevant structure of the cooker cover in the cooker cleaning cabinet.

[0060] When the cooker liner 16 is pushed into the cooker cabinet 14 , the cooker cover 17 is pressed against the top wall opening 1661 . When the cooker liner 16 is pulled out of the cooker cabinet 14 , the cover 17 rises a short distance so that the cooker liner 16 can be pulled out smoothly.

[0061] Specifically, a guide member 19 is provided between the side walls (163, 164) of the cooker inner pot 16 and the cooker cabinet 14, and a guide groove 191 is provided on the guide member 19. A guide column 171 is provided on the side of the cooker cover 17, and the guide column 171 is embedded in the guide groove 191.

[0062] The guide slot 191 has an upward trend in the direction in which the cooker liner 16 is pulled out of the cooker cabinet 14. When the cooker liner 16 is slidably inserted into the cooker cabinet 14, the guide post 171 slides to the first end 1911 of the guide slot 191, guiding the cooker cover 17 to close the top wall opening 1661. When the cooker liner 16 is slidably pulled out of the cooker cabinet 14, the guide post 171 slides to the second end 1912 of the guide slot 191, guiding the cooker cover 17 to move in the direction in which the cooker liner 16 is pulled out and toward the top wall of the cooker cabinet 14. That is, when the cooker liner 16 is pulled out of the cooker cabinet 14, the cooker cover 17 is separated from the cooker liner 16 upward, so that the cooker liner 16 can be pulled out smoothly. When the cooker liner 16 is pushed into the cooker cabinet 14, the cooker cover 17 is pressed on the cooker liner 16, so that the cooker liner 16 forms a closed space.

[0063] The structure of the cooker cover 17 can also be applied to the dishwashing cabinet 200 , and the details will not be repeated here.

[0064] Because the cooker cleaning cabinet 100 of this embodiment is narrow and tall, at least three spray pipes 18 are provided. These spray pipes 18 are arranged around the cooker placement space 11. "Surrounding" the cooker placement space 11 means the spray pipes 18 are positioned at the edges of the placement space 11, allowing the spray pipes 18 to more fully spray the cookers. Furthermore, when arranged around the cooker placement space 11, the spray pipes 18 can be evenly distributed, ensuring that every area of ​​the placement space 11 is cleaned.

[0065] Specifically, the spray pipes 18 are disposed between the front wall 161 and the back wall 162. Of the at least three spray pipes 18, one spray pipe 18 is disposed near the bottom wall 165, and one spray pipe 18 is disposed near the bottom wall 165. Because the spray pipe 18 at the bottom wall 165 in the narrow and tall cookware washing cabinet 100 makes it difficult to clean cookware higher up, another spray pipe 18 is disposed near the side walls 163 / 164 and between the top wall 166 and the bottom wall 165. Since the dishwashing cabinet 200 does not need to be narrow and tall, only two spray pipes can be disposed near the bottom wall.

[0066] The spray pipe 18 is also provided with a plurality of spray holes, which are rotatably arranged relative to the cooker inner pot 16 so that when water flows out of the spray holes, the cooker can be sprayed and cleaned in all directions.

[0067] In addition, in order to more conveniently place the cookware, a side wall opening may be provided on the first side wall 163 of the cookware inner pot 16 . When the cookware inner pot 16 is pulled out of the cookware cabinet 14 , the cookware may be placed through the side wall opening.

[0068] For a washing cabinet with a side wall opening, its structural design may be different from the cooker washing cabinet 100 of the above embodiment. Therefore, this application also proposes a washing cabinet, see Figure 7 , Figure 7 The washing cabinet 400 of this embodiment can be used as a cooker washing cabinet or a bowl washing cabinet, without limitation.

[0069] The cleaning cabinet 400 includes a cabinet body 41 and an inner container 42 slidably connected to the cabinet body 41. The inner container 42 forms a placement space 43. The inner container 42 can be slidably embedded in the cabinet body 41 or slid out of the cabinet body 41. The side wall of the inner container 42 is provided with a side wall opening. When the cabinet body 41 is slid out, the side wall opening is used to place utensils into the placement space 43, that is, the utensils are placed into the cleaning cabinet 400 through the side wall opening. Figure 8 understand, Figure 8 yes Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the structure of placing cookware in the cleaning cabinet is shown.

[0070] For larger appliances, such as those that need to be placed in the cleaning cabinet 400 in an upright position, it is more convenient to place them in the cleaning cabinet 400 from the side. This can also prevent the cleaning cabinet 400 or the appliance from colliding with the cleaning cabinet 400 due to the appliance being too large, causing damage to the cleaning cabinet 400 or the appliance.

[0071] Specifically, in this embodiment, the cleaning cabinet 400 is a cube, and the inner tank 42 includes a front wall 421 and a back wall 422 relative to each other, a first side wall 423 and a second side wall 424, and a bottom wall 425 and a top wall 426; the side wall opening 427 is set at the first side wall 423.

[0072] In order to further facilitate the placement of utensils, a top wall opening 4261 is also provided on the top wall 426. The top wall opening 4261 can be completely connected with the side wall opening 427, or the two can be separated by a connecting column 4262. The connecting column 4262 can be a part of the top wall 426, so that the structure of the entire inner liner 42 is more stable.

[0073] During cleaning, it is necessary to ensure that the liquid can flow back into the inner tank 42, so a flow guide structure is designed in the cleaning cabinet 400. Figure 9 and Figure 10 , Figure 9 yes Figure 7 The schematic diagram of the structure of the inner tank and the cabinet body in the cleaning cabinet is shown. Figure 10 yes Figure 9 Schematic diagram of the flow of liquid sprayed after placing cookware in the cleaning cabinet shown.

[0074] For ease of description, the first side wall 423 of the inner container 42 serves as the first inner container side panel 423, the second side wall 424 serves as the second inner container side panel 424, and the back wall 422 serves as the inner container back panel 422. In this embodiment, a side wall opening 427 is formed between the first inner container side panel 423 and the top wall 426. The corresponding cabinet body 41 includes a first cabinet side panel 411, a second cabinet side panel 412, and a cabinet back panel 413.

[0075] A deflector 414 is provided at the bottom end of the first cabinet side panel 411. The deflector 414 is bent relative to the first cabinet side panel 411 toward the inner container 42. When the inner container 42 slides into the cabinet 41, the first cabinet side panel 411 blocks the side wall opening 427, and the deflector 414 abuts the first inner container side panel 423. The first cabinet side panel 411 blocks the side wall opening 427, and a gap is formed between the first inner container side panel 423 and the inner container 42. Therefore, the deflector 414 is provided at the bottom end of the first cabinet side panel 411, i.e., at one end near the first inner container side panel 423, and is bent toward the inner container 42. Therefore, cleaning liquid sprayed into the placement space 43 can flow back into the inner container 42 along the deflector 414 without leakage.

[0076] Furthermore, a plug-in slot 428 is formed on both the second liner side panel 424 and the liner back panel 422. A guide plate 414 is further formed at the bottom end of the second cabinet side panel 412 and the bottom end of the cabinet back panel 413. The guide plate 414 is inserted into and blocks the plug-in slot 428. In this embodiment, the cabinet 41 and the liner 42 are tightly connected. To facilitate pulling the liner 42 out of or pushing it back into the cabinet 41, the plug-in slot 428 is provided. The design of the guide plate 414 also allows water to reflux through the connection seam at the plug-in slot 428, achieving a seal and preventing leakage.

[0077] In order to clean the utensils in the placement space 43, a spray pipe 44 is also provided in the inner tank 42. The spray pipe 44 is rotatable relative to the inner tank 42, and a plurality of spray holes (not shown) are also provided on the spray pipe 44, so that the cleaning liquid can be sprayed to every corner of the placement space 43.

[0078] Specifically, in this embodiment, the spray pipe 44 is arranged between the front wall 421 and the back wall 422. Generally, the cleaning surface of the appliance is set toward the bottom wall so that the oil and dirt cleaned can be separated from the appliance. Therefore, the spray pipe 44 is also set close to the bottom wall 425 and does not exceed the first inner tank side panel 423.

[0079] Furthermore, the number of spray pipes 44 is at least two, which are arranged around the placement space 43. Similar to the cooker cleaning cabinet 100 in the above embodiment, the placement space 43 of the cleaning cabinet 400 in this embodiment can be used to place cookers in an upright state, and can also be a narrow and high type. At least three spray pipes 44 can be set in the inner tank 42. The structure is similar to that of the cooker cleaning cabinet 100, and the details will not be repeated here.

[0080] The washing cabinet 400 of this embodiment can be used in the above-mentioned dishwasher 10, for example, as a cooker washing cabinet, making it more convenient for users to place cookers.

[0081] For dishwashers or cleaning cabinets, a spray system is provided to achieve liquid cleaning and gas drying operations. This application also proposes a cleaning component, see Figure 11 , Figure 11 It is a structural diagram of an embodiment of the cleaning component of the present application.

[0082] The cleaning assembly 500 of this embodiment includes a spray pipe 51, a water pipe 52, an air pipe 53, and a connecting valve 54. The spray pipe 51, the water pipe 52, and the air pipe 53 are each connected to the connecting valve 54. The connecting valve 54 is used to connect the water pipe 52 and the spray pipe 51, or to connect the air pipe 53 and the spray pipe 51.

[0083] In this embodiment, the water pipe 52 is used to provide cleaning liquid, and the gas pipe 53 is used to provide drying gas. A heating plate can also be provided in the gas pipe 53 to heat the gas drawn into the gas pipe 53 by the fan to achieve hot air drying.

[0084] The cleaning liquid and drying gas provided by the water pipe 52 and the gas pipe 53 are both sprayed out through the spray holes 511 in the spray pipe 51. The water pipe 52 and the spray pipe 51 are connected, or the gas pipe 53 and the spray pipe 51 are connected, through the connecting valve 54. That is, during the cleaning operation, only the water pipe can be connected, and during the drying operation, only the gas pipe can be connected.

[0085] Generally speaking, the cleaning work is carried out first, and then the drying work is carried out, and the drying gas can also dry the residual liquid in the spray pipe 51. It ensures that the spray pipe is dry and increases the service life of the spray pipe.

[0086] Different channels can be designed in the connecting valve 54 to connect the water pipe 52 and the spray pipe 51, and to connect the air pipe 53 and the spray pipe 51, respectively. Alternatively, a valve can be designed in the channel of the connecting valve 54 to control the valve so that only the water pipe 52 and the spray pipe 51 are connected during the cleaning operation, and only the air pipe 53 and the spray pipe 51 are connected during the drying operation.

[0087] Furthermore, the valves can be controlled by the power of the cleaning liquid or drying gas. For example, liquid flowing from the water pipe 52 to the spray pipe 51 causes the connecting valve 54 to block the gas pipe 53, thereby connecting the water pipe 52 and the spray pipe 51. Gas flowing from the gas pipe 53 to the spray pipe 51 causes the connecting valve 54 to block the water pipe 52, thereby connecting the gas pipe 53 and the spray pipe 51.

[0088] Specifically, see Figure 12 , Figure 12 yes Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the structure of the connecting valve in the cleaning component shown.

[0089] A connecting channel 544 is formed inside the connecting valve 54, and a first through hole 541, a second through hole 542 and a third through hole 543 connected to the connecting channel 544 are formed on the surface of the connecting valve 54. The water pipe 52 is connected to the connecting channel 544 through the first through hole 541, the air pipe 53 is connected to the connecting channel 544 through the second through hole 542, and the spray pipe 51 is connected to the connecting channel 544 through the third through hole 543.

[0090] A valve plate 545 is rotatably provided inside the connecting valve 54. The valve plate 545 can be rotated relative to the connecting valve 54 to block the first through hole 541 or to block the second through hole 542. The valve plate 545 is movably connected to the connecting valve 54. Under the impact of the flowing cleaning liquid, the valve plate 545 can be rotated to block the second through hole 542. At this time, the first through hole 541 is opened, and the water pipe 52 and the spray pipe 51 are connected. Under the blowing of drying gas, the valve plate 545 can be rotated to block the first through hole 541. At this time, the second through hole 542 is opened, and the gas pipe 52 and the spray pipe 51 are connected. For details, please refer to Figure 13 , Figure 13 yes Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the cleaning component shown.

[0091] Valve plate 545, located within connecting valve 54, rotates frequently and comes into contact with cleaning liquid and drying gas. It features high strength, corrosion resistance, and high-temperature resistance. The valve plate only needs to seal the second through-hole, so its shape is not limited. To effectively seal both first through-hole 541 and second through-hole 542, it is designed to be larger than the through-holes.

[0092] The connecting valve 54 in this embodiment is generally square in shape and includes a rotating post 546, a first sidewall 547 and a second sidewall 548 connected to the rotating post 546, and a third sidewall 549 opposite the first sidewall 547. A first through-hole 541 is formed in the first sidewall 547, a second through-hole 542 is formed in the second sidewall 548, and a third through-hole 543 is formed in the third sidewall 549. A valve plate 545 is rotatably connected to the rotating post 546. The valve plate 545 rotates to contact the first sidewall 547 to block the first through-hole 541, or rotates to contact the second sidewall 548 to block the second through-hole 542.

[0093] In this embodiment, the spray pipe 51 is tubular and is installed in the inner tank of the dishwasher. The number of spray pipes 51 is generally set to at least two to achieve a large spray area. At least two spray pipes 51 are connected to the connecting valve 54.

[0094] To facilitate the connection of multiple spray pipes 51, the cleaning assembly 500 further includes a connecting pipe 55, which includes a first pipe head 551 and at least two second pipe heads 552. The first pipe head 551 is connected to the connecting valve 54, and each second pipe head 552 is connected to a spray pipe 51.

[0095] The spray pipe 51 is provided with a plurality of spray holes, which have at least two directions, thereby achieving spraying in multiple directions. Figure 14 , Figure 14 yes Figure 11 Schematic diagram of the structure of the spray pipe in the cleaning component shown.

[0096] When the cleaning assembly 500 is used in a dishwasher or a cleaning cabinet, Figure 15 As shown, Figure 15 yes Figure 11 The cleaning assembly shown is a schematic structural diagram of a dishwasher. Figure 15 The middle dishwasher 600 includes an inner container 61 and a shell (not shown) disposed on the outside.

[0097] The spray pipe 51 in the cleaning assembly 500 is arranged in the inner container 61 , and the water pipe 52 and the air pipe 53 are both arranged between the shell and the inner container 61 .

[0098] The dishwasher 600 further includes a rotating mechanism, which is arranged between the shell and the inner tank; the spray pipe 51 is rotatably arranged in the inner tank 61, one end of which is connected to the connecting valve 54 and the other end is connected to the rotating mechanism to achieve rotating spraying during cleaning.
