[0046] A breathing apparatus, wherein the water tank is disposed inside the breathing apparatus;
[0047] The respirator includes:
[0048] The inlet and the outlet are connected by the electrolysis component.
[0049] The electrolysis assembly is provided with a breathing water passage and an electrolysis water passage separated from the breathing water passage, and the electrolysis assembly is provided on the electrolysis water passage;
[0050] And a water channel reversing structure, which is adapted to open or close the breathing water channel and the electrolytic water channel so that the breathing water channel and the electrolytic water channel flow alternately.
[0051] The dishwasher provided by this invention further includes:
[0052] A water cup is placed inside the inner tank. The water tank is equipped with a disinfectant outlet, which is connected to the water cup via a solenoid valve.
[0053] The dishwasher provided by the present invention has a disinfectant outlet located on a plane that is higher than the upper surface of the water cup.
[0054] The technical solution of this invention has the following advantages:
[0055] 1. The dishwasher provided by the present invention comprises: a chamber structure having a water tank chamber inside; a brine generating device connected to the water tank chamber and adapted to introduce brine into the water tank chamber; an electrolysis assembly disposed inside the water tank chamber and adapted to perform electrolysis on the brine generated by the brine generating device; and a cabinet, the chamber structure acting on the cabinet, the cabinet including an inner liner and a door adapted to close the inner liner, the inner liner being adapted to hold tableware to be washed, the chamber structure being adapted to act on at least one of the inner liner and the door; and a substance located in the chamber structure being adapted to flow out of the water tank chamber and enter the inner liner.
[0056] The brine generator produces brine for electrolysis. The brine in the tank undergoes electrolysis to form high-valence hypochlorite ions. The highly oxidizing brine enters the inner tank through the overflow port and through-hole to clean the tableware, bowls, side walls, fruits, and vegetables inside the inner tank, thus achieving comprehensive disinfection of the inner tank.
[0057] 2. The dishwasher provided by this invention allows excess water to be drained from the water tank through an overflow port when the water level inside the tank is too high. Furthermore, the highly oxidizing disinfectant solution produced in the water tank is itself clean water, while the water in the inner tank is turbid water containing a large amount of oil. It is necessary to prevent the water in the inner tank from flowing back into the water tank and contaminating the water there. By setting an overflow venting structure, the clean water in the water tank can flow unidirectionally into the inner tank. Simultaneously, through the overflow venting structure, when an electrolytic reaction occurs inside the water tank, flammable gases such as hydrogen are generated. By setting an overflow port, the hydrogen can be quickly drained from inside the water tank to the outside, ensuring the safety of the water tank itself.
[0058] 3. The dishwasher provided by the present invention includes an overflow venting structure comprising: a water vapor inlet, which is disposed through a first side of the overflow venting structure; and a water-blocking end cap, which is disposed on a second side of the overflow venting structure and is arranged along the extending direction of the water vapor inlet, suitable for blocking the extending direction of the water vapor inlet. By providing the water-blocking end cap, unidirectional flow of clean water in the water tank to the inner tank can be achieved.
[0059] 4. In the dishwasher provided by the present invention, the anti-backflow rib is disposed within the overflow port of the water tank, specifically on the conductive path between the overflow port and the overflow vent, and preferably disposed within the overflow port at a position corresponding to the overflow vent. This ensures that liquid or gas from a specific angle on the second side of the overflow vent structure is not only blocked by the water-blocking end cap, but also, after a small portion of the liquid or gas enters the overflow vent, is again blocked by the anti-backflow rib, reducing the occurrence of splashing into the overflow vent structure.
[0060] The cooperation between the anti-backflow rib and the water-blocking end cap makes the guide channel inside the overflow venting structure form a curved structure, which increases the obstruction of liquid or gas from a specific angle from the second side of the overflow venting structure, and increases the difficulty for liquid or gas from a specific angle from the second side of the overflow venting structure to enter the overflow venting structure.
[0061] 5. In the water tank provided in this embodiment, the lowest point of the anti-backflow rib in the vertical direction is higher than the lowest point of the overflow vent. Thus, when water overflowing from the water tank enters the water vapor inlet, it will be blocked by the anti-backflow rib to prevent backflow. Furthermore, when external water enters from the overflow vent, it will also be blocked by the anti-backflow rib as it flows towards the water tank, thereby reducing the probability of external water entering the water tank.
[0062] 6. The dishwasher provided by the present invention, by setting the opening direction of the overflow vent to be at an angle to the spray direction of the spray arm, specifically within the range of 90°≤β2≤180°, so that the opening direction of the overflow vent is set to be in a direction approximately opposite to the spray direction of the spray arm, can reduce the amount of water sprayed by the spray arm entering the overflow vent structure, thereby reducing the amount of water sprayed by the spray arm entering the water tank.
[0063] 7. The dishwasher provided by the present invention has a drain outlet located at the top of the water tank chamber and extending towards the interior of the water tank chamber. This arrangement effectively prevents the disinfectant prepared inside the water tank from overflowing into the outside environment through the water channel during water filling, thus avoiding pollution of the outside world.
[0064] By placing the drain outlet at the top of the water tank chamber, the brine entering the water tank will not flow out from the drain outlet located around the center of the water tank when the tank is filled with water.
[0065] 8. The dishwasher provided by the present invention further includes a chamber structure comprising: a breather, wherein the water tank is disposed inside the breather; the breather comprises: an inlet and an outlet, wherein the electrolysis component is connected to the inlet and the outlet; the electrolysis component is provided with a breathing water path and an electrolytic water path separated from the breathing water path, wherein the electrolysis component is disposed on the electrolytic water path; and a water path reversing structure adapted to open or close the breathing water path and the electrolytic water path to allow the breathing water path and the electrolytic water path to flow alternately.
[0066] An electrolysis unit is installed inside the traditional ventilator to prepare a disinfectant solution using the electrolysis of saline solution. The prepared disinfectant solution then enters a dishwasher for comprehensive disinfection. Furthermore, thanks to a water circuit reversing structure, the ventilator can perform different functions depending on the dishwasher's needs. The electrolysis water circuit is activated when the dishwasher requires disinfection; otherwise, the breathing water circuit is used.
[0067] The above-described setup allows for the preparation of disinfectant directly through the respirator, thereby reducing the overall structure of the machine and improving its compactness. Attached Figure Description

[0089] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0090] Example 1
[0091] This embodiment provides a dishwasher, including:
[0092] The chamber structure includes an internal water tank chamber.
[0093] In this embodiment, the chamber structure itself is not subject to too many limitations: as one implementation, the chamber structure itself can be a water tank; as another implementation, the chamber structure itself adopts an integrated structure of respirator and water tank.
[0094] A brine generator is connected to the water tank chamber and is adapted to introduce brine into the water tank chamber;
[0095] Correspondingly, when the chamber structure itself is a water tank, the saline generated by the saline generator will enter the water tank; when the chamber structure adopts an integrated structure of the respirator and the water tank, the saline generated by the saline generator will enter the water tank inside the respirator.
[0096] Electrolysis assembly 17 is disposed inside the water tank chamber and is adapted to perform electrolysis on the brine generated by the brine generator;
[0097] The structure of the electrolysis unit 17 itself is not limited, as long as it can realize the electrolysis of brine itself. At the same time, there are no major restrictions on the installation method of the electrolysis unit 17 in the water tank or breathing apparatus, as long as it can be stably installed.
[0098] A cabinet, wherein the chamber structure acts on the cabinet, the cabinet includes an inner liner 1 and a door adapted to close the inner liner 1, wherein the inner liner 1 is adapted to hold tableware 2 to be washed, and the chamber structure is adapted to act on at least one of the inner liner 1 and the door.
[0099] Specifically, as one implementation method, the water tank can be directly installed on the inner liner 1, or the water tank can be installed on the door; as another implementation method, the breather can be installed on the inner liner 1, or the breather can be installed on the door. In this embodiment, regardless of the installation method, a water passage connecting the tank body and the chamber structure needs to be provided;
[0100] The substance located in the chamber structure is adapted to flow out of the water tank chamber and into the inner liner 1.
[0101] The brine generator produces brine for electrolysis. The brine can electrolyze itself in the water tank to form high-valence hypochlorite ions. The highly oxidizing brine will enter the inner liner 1 through the overflow port 233 and the through hole 11 to clean the tableware 2, bowl baskets, side walls, fruits and vegetables in the inner liner 1, etc., thereby achieving a comprehensive disinfection of the inner liner 1.
[0102] In this embodiment, the dishwasher itself works as follows:
[0103] Cathode: 2Cl - -2e=Cl2
[0104] Anode: 2H₂O + 2e - =H2 + 2OH -
[0105] Overall reaction: 2Cl - +2H₂O=H₂+Cl₂+2OH⁻ -
[0106] A disproportionation reaction will occur between chlorine and water: Cl2 + H2O = HCl + HClO. The HClO produced has a certain oxidizing property, thereby killing bacteria and viruses.
[0107] In this embodiment, NaCl is used as the salt. It is non-toxic, stable, and does not easily deteriorate, making it convenient for storage and electrolytic sterilization. Other chlorates, such as KCl and CaCl2, are not recommended because they can pose certain health risks.
[0108] In this embodiment, the structure of the brine generator itself is not limited; any device capable of producing brine is acceptable. As an optional implementation, the brine generator can be a structure capable of simultaneously containing sodium chloride and water. As a preferred embodiment, the brine generator includes: a water softener 12 connected to the water tank chamber; and an inlet pipe 6 connected to the water softener 12, suitable for supplying water to the water softener 12. Correspondingly, a brine source needs to be connected to the inlet pipe 6, allowing the brine to be directly introduced into the water softener 12, and then re-entering the chamber structure through the water softener 12, thereby achieving electrolysis. Simultaneously, an inlet pipe solenoid valve 7 is installed on the inlet pipe 6 to control the flow of water in the inlet pipe 6.
[0109] Furthermore, in order to enable the water softener 12 to generate a certain concentration of brine on its own, avoiding the need for a separate brine source, the water softener 12 includes a saturated brine chamber 9, and the inlet pipe 6 connects at least the saturated brine chamber 9 of the water softener 12 with the chamber structure.
[0110] By setting a saturated brine chamber 9 in the water softener 12, the water softener 12 can achieve its own self-cleaning function. At the same time, by setting a saturated brine chamber 9, the brine inside the saturated brine chamber 9 can be fully utilized, thereby enabling the brine to be electrolyzed in the later stage and further formed into disinfectant.
[0111] In this embodiment, the water softener 12 includes: a resin softening water chamber 8, with a resin softening water chamber inlet pipe 11 disposed between it and the water inlet pipe 6; and a saturated brine chamber 9, with a saturated brine chamber inlet pipe 20 disposed between it and the water inlet pipe 6.
[0112] Specifically, the resin softening chamber 8 enables the softening of external water sources, while the saturated brine chamber 9 provides both self-cleaning for the resin softening chamber 8 and serves as a brine source. Furthermore, to connect the inlet pipe 6 to the water softener 12, a three-way valve 10 is installed on the inlet pipe 6. One end of the three-way valve 10 is connected to the inlet pipe 6, and the other two ends are connected to the resin softening chamber inlet pipe 11 and the saturated brine chamber inlet pipe 20, respectively.
[0113] In this embodiment, it also includes: a water tank soft water inlet pipe 18, which connects the resin soft water cavity 8 and the chamber structure; and a water tank saturated brine inlet pipe 19, which connects the saturated brine cavity 9 and the chamber structure.
[0114] Furthermore, a flow meter 14 is installed on the soft water inlet pipe 18 of the water tank, and a metering pump 13 is installed on the saturated brine inlet pipe 19 of the water tank. Through the combination of the flow meter 14 and the metering pump 13, the flow rate of water flowing out of the resin soft water chamber 8 and the saturated brine chamber 9 can be measured respectively.
[0115] In this embodiment, as a preferred implementation, such as Figures 1-3 As shown, the chamber structure includes: a water tank, and the water tank chamber is formed inside the water tank.
[0116] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the water tank includes:
[0117] The water inlet pipe 18 and the saturated brine inlet pipe 19 of the water tank converge in the manifold 231. By setting up the manifold 231, the clean water and brine flowing out of the water softener 12 can be mixed, thus facilitating the subsequent electrolysis operation. The shape of the manifold 231 is not strictly limited, as long as it enables the water to flow together.
[0118] The disinfectant outlet 232 is connected to a disinfectant discharge pipe 15, and a disinfectant discharge pipe solenoid valve 16 is provided on the disinfectant discharge pipe 15, which is suitable for discharging the disinfectant 22 in the water tank chamber into the inner tank 1, thereby realizing the subsequent disinfection and cleaning operation of the inner tank 1.
[0119] In this embodiment, the water tank includes: a soft water inlet 235 connected to the soft water inlet pipe 18 of the water tank; and a brine inlet 234 connected to the saturated brine inlet pipe 19 of the water tank.
[0120] Specifically, the water tank includes: a first water tank sidewall; a second water tank sidewall, which is disposed opposite to the first water tank sidewall and adjacent to the inner liner 1 wall of the inner liner 1; and a thick wall sandwiched between the first water tank sidewall and the second water tank sidewall.
[0121] In this embodiment, the wall thickness refers to the sidewall along the thickness direction of the water tank itself, and the wall thickness itself is arranged in a ring shape. Correspondingly, one of the soft water inlet 235 and the brine inlet 234 is provided on the sidewall of the second water tank, and the other of the soft water inlet 235 and the brine inlet 234 is provided on the thick wall.
[0122] In this embodiment, to achieve better drainage of water entering the water tank, the water tank further includes a water channel 24, such as... Figure 6As shown, waterway 24 refers to the part that can realize water diversion operation. Specifically, waterway 24 includes: diversion section 241 and rectification section 242. The rectification section 242 is located downstream of the diversion section 241. The diversion section 241 is connected to the confluence area 231. The drain outlet 2421 is formed on at least one of the rectification section 242 and the diversion section 241.
[0123] Specifically, the shape and inner diameter of the waterway 24 are not overly limited. The shape of the waterway 24 can be determined according to the shape of the water tank. The waterway 24 can be located at the edge of the water tank or near the center. In a preferred embodiment, the waterway 24 is positioned near the wall thickness of the water tank, which helps improve the overall spatial regularity of the water tank.
[0124] In this embodiment, the location of the drain outlet 2421 is not strictly limited. It can be located on the rectifying section 242 or on the diversion section 241. As a preferred embodiment, the drain outlet 2421 is located on the rectifying section 242. This arrangement increases the height of the drain outlet 2421 within the water tank, preventing the disinfectant solution 22 prepared inside the water tank from flowing back into the waterway 24 through the drain outlet 2421 when water is being added to the tank.
[0125] In a preferred embodiment, the drain outlet 2421 is located at the top of the water tank chamber and extends toward the interior of the water tank chamber.
[0126] The above-described configuration effectively prevents the disinfectant prepared inside the water tank from overflowing into the outside environment through the water channel 24, thus avoiding pollution. The extension angle of the drain outlet 2421 is not limited; specifically, the angle between the drainage section 241 and the rectifying section 242 is less than 180°. In a preferred embodiment, the drain outlet 2421 can extend perpendicularly to the horizontal direction into the interior of the water tank chamber.
[0127] In this embodiment, as Figures 4-9 As shown, an overflow port 233 is provided on the water tank, and a through hole 11 is provided on the inner liner 1 at a position corresponding to the overflow port 233. An overflow venting structure is provided between the overflow port 233 and the through hole 11. The overflow venting structure is adapted to restrict the substance in the water tank from flowing unidirectionally from the overflow port 233 into the through hole 11.
[0128] The overflow port 233 serves the following functions: when the water level inside the tank is too high, the excess water can be drained from the tank through the overflow port 233. Simultaneously, the overflow port 233 can detect the water level inside the tank, thereby controlling the water inlet b1 to stop water intake. Furthermore, during the electrolysis reaction inside the tank, flammable gases such as hydrogen are produced. The overflow port 233 allows the hydrogen to be quickly drained from the tank to the outside, ensuring the safety of the tank itself.
[0129] Furthermore, the highly oxidizing disinfectant solution produced in the water tank is itself clean water, while the water in the inner tank 1 is itself turbid water, containing a large amount of oil. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent the water in the inner tank 1 from flowing back into the water tank and contaminating the water in the tank. Specifically, the through hole 11 can be integrally formed on the side wall of the inner tank 1, or it can be set on the side wall of the inner tank 1 through post-processing. The through hole 11 itself is circular.
[0130] In this embodiment, the overflow venting structure itself can be a one-way valve, or a structure that enables unidirectional fluid movement. As a preferred embodiment, the overflow venting structure includes:
[0131] A water vapor inlet a1 is disposed through the first side of the overflow exhaust structure;
[0132] A water-blocking end cap a2 is disposed on the second side of the overflow venting structure and is arranged along the extending direction of the water vapor inlet a1, suitable for blocking the extending direction of the water vapor inlet a1; specifically, the water-blocking end cap a2 itself is disposed in the inner liner 1, and a cavity is provided between the water-blocking end cap a2 and the water vapor inlet a1, and
[0133] An overflow vent a3 extends through the overflow vent structure in a direction parallel to the water-blocking end cap a2 and is at least partially connected to the water vapor inlet a1.
[0134] By setting an overflow vent a3, the gas or liquid acting on the water-blocking end cap a2 can be guided, so that the gas or liquid finally enters the inner liner 1 at a certain angle.
[0135] In this embodiment, the liquid from the first side of the overflow venting structure overflows in a diffuse manner, while the liquid from the second side of the overflow venting structure is sprayed. After the water-blocking end cap a2 blocks the extension direction of the water vapor inlet a1, an overflow vent a3 is also provided on the second side of the overflow venting structure. The overflow vent a3 is at least partially connected to the water vapor inlet a1, thereby internally connecting the overflow venting structure. This facilitates the discharge of liquid or gas entering the water vapor inlet a1 from the first side of the overflow venting structure through the overflow vent a3 located on the second side of the overflow venting structure.
[0136] In the specific implementation process, liquid or gas enters from the water vapor inlet a1 on the first side of the overflow vent structure, passes through the internal channel of the overflow vent structure, and is deflected by the water-blocking end cap a2 located on the second side of the overflow vent structure. Finally, the liquid or gas is discharged from the overflow vent a3. Liquid or gas from the second side of the overflow vent structure must enter through the overflow vent a3 to enter the overflow vent structure. The extension direction of the overflow vent a3 is set at an angle to the extension direction of the water vapor inlet a1. In this embodiment, the two are set perpendicularly, so that liquid or gas from the second side of the overflow vent structure cannot enter the overflow vent structure from a direction parallel to the extension direction of the water vapor inlet a1, thereby blocking liquid or gas from a specific angle from the second side of the overflow vent structure.
[0137] In this embodiment, the overflow venting structure further includes an anti-backflow rib a4, disposed on the conductive path between the overflow port 233 and the overflow venting port a3. The anti-backflow rib a4 is adapted to at least partially block the overflow port 233. This ensures that liquid or gas from a specific angle on the second side of the overflow venting structure is not only blocked by the water-blocking end cap a2, but also, after a small portion of the liquid or gas enters the overflow venting port a3, is again blocked by the anti-backflow rib a4, reducing the likelihood of splashing into the overflow venting structure.
[0138] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the anti-backflow rib a4 is located at the lower edge of the overflow port 233, and the lowest point of the anti-backflow rib a4 in the vertical direction is higher than the lowest point of the overflow vent port a3. In this embodiment, the anti-backflow rib a4 is arranged parallel to the water-blocking end cap a2.
[0139] Specifically, at least one notch is formed on the path of the guide rib a5 around the water vapor inlet a1. By forming at least one notch on the path of the guide rib a5b612 around the water vapor inlet a1, the connection between the guide rib a5b612 and the water-blocking end cap a2 can be disconnected at the notch, thereby facilitating the formation of the water vapor inlet a1.
[0140] Specifically, the notch of the guide rib a5 and the water-blocking end cap a2 together form the overflow vent a3. For example... Figures 7-8 As shown, the exhaust path S2 and the overflow path S3 inside the overflow exhaust structure are both vented and overflowed from the water vapor inlet a1 and finally discharged from the overflow exhaust port a3.
[0141] In this embodiment, a spray arm 3 is provided in the inner liner 1 to rinse the dish rack and the tableware 2, fruits, vegetables, etc. placed on it. Simultaneously, the overflow venting structure itself has a notch. Since the inner liner 1 is exposed to the spray from the spray arm 3, water from the spray arm 3 could potentially seep into the overflow venting structure through the notch. To prevent this, in this embodiment, as... Figure 10 As shown, the angle between the overflow direction S4 of the overflow vent a3 and the horizontal plane is β1, where 0°≤β1≤180°. Preferably, 0°<β1<180°, so that the overflow direction S4 of the overflow vent a3 is positioned as downwards as possible, facilitating overflow and reducing liquid ingress from the second side. The optimal range is 120°<β1<150°.
[0142] By using the above-mentioned configuration, the water sprayed from the spray arm 3 cannot directly enter the overflow exhaust structure through the notch, thereby preventing the water in the inner tank 1 from contaminating the overflow exhaust structure.
[0143] Specifically, the dishwasher also includes:
[0144] Spray arm 3 is suitable for spraying water streams;
[0145] The overflow exhaust structure is provided with an overflow exhaust port a3, and the angle β2 between the opening direction of the overflow exhaust port a3 and the spray direction of the spray arm 3 is in the range of 90°≤β2≤180°.
[0146] Preferably, the spray arm 3 is at least partially disposed within the inner liner 1. In this embodiment, the spray arm 3 is located in the middle of the inner liner 1, and the water tank is installed on the side wall of the inner liner 1, so that the overflow venting structure is also located on the side wall of the water tank. The spray arm 3 sprays water by rotating, and the water spray direction S1 is shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the spray arm 3 rotates clockwise as an example, that is, the high-pressure water jet sprayed by the spray arm 3 is flushed in a counterclockwise direction. At this time, setting the opening direction of the overflow vent a3 to be in a direction approximately opposite to the spray direction of the spray arm 3 can reduce the amount of water sprayed by the spray arm 3 entering the overflow venting structure, thereby reducing the amount of water sprayed by the spray arm 3 entering the water tank.
[0147] The dishwasher provided in this embodiment sets the opening direction of the overflow vent a3 at an angle to the spray direction of the spray arm 3, specifically within the range of 90°≤β2≤180°. This ensures that the opening direction of the overflow vent a3 is set in a direction approximately opposite to the spray direction of the spray arm 3, thereby reducing the amount of water sprayed by the spray arm 3 entering the overflow vent structure and thus reducing the amount of water sprayed by the spray arm 3 entering the water tank.
[0148] In this embodiment, to enable rapid assembly and disassembly of the overflow exhaust structure itself, a tooling rib a6 is also provided on the overflow exhaust structure. The tooling rib a6 is adapted to adjust the orientation of the overflow exhaust port a3. Specifically, the tooling ribs are arranged radially on the overflow exhaust structure. The number of tooling ribs is not limited. As a preferred embodiment, there are two tooling ribs, and the angle between the tooling ribs and the overflow exhaust port a3 is 120°.
[0149] In this embodiment, an overflow port flange a7 is provided around the overflow port 233, and a screw-in part a8 is provided on the overflow vent structure at a position corresponding to the overflow port flange a7; the overflow port flange a7 is provided with an internal thread or an external thread, and the screw-in part a8 is provided with an external thread or an internal thread accordingly.
[0150] The overflow venting structure can be installed on the water tank by the cooperation of the overflow flange a7 and the screw-in part a8. Preferably, the overflow flange a7 is located on the outer side of the water tank. As a variation, the overflow flange a7 can also be located on the inner side of the water tank or on both sides of the first water tank sidewall along the thickness direction. Correspondingly, the screw-in part a8 is located on the first side of the overflow venting structure, preferably on the outer circumferential position of the water vapor inlet a1, so as to facilitate direct engagement between the water vapor inlet a1 and the overflow port 233.
[0151] Furthermore, to prevent water from flowing out at the overflow vent structure, an overflow port sealing ring a9 is provided between the water tank and the inner liner 1, and the overflow port sealing ring a9 surrounds the overflow port 233.
[0152] In this embodiment, the water in the inlet pipe 6 will enter the inner tank 1 and the water tank 23 respectively. In order to realize the water diversion operation, an inlet three-way valve 64 is first installed on the inlet pipe 6. The inlet pipe includes a first inlet pipe 61. The water flowing out through the inlet three-way valve 64 will be divided into a second inlet pipe 62 and a third inlet pipe 63. The second inlet pipe 62 is connected to the water softener. At the same time, a three-way valve 10 is installed on the second inlet pipe 62. After the water flows through the three-way valve 10, it enters the resin soft water chamber inlet pipe 11 and the saturated brine chamber inlet pipe 20 respectively.
[0153] Water entering the third water inlet pipe 63 will enter the water cup 5 in the inner tank, and an on / off valve is provided on the third water inlet pipe 63 to facilitate subsequent spraying operations.
[0154] In this embodiment, the above-described piping design allows for control of different cleaning modes within the dishwasher itself. Specifically:
[0155] After water is introduced into the inlet pipe 6, the inlet three-way valve 64 is opened, and the inlet solenoid valve 7 is closed, allowing external water to directly enter the inner tank through the third inlet pipe 63, thus achieving preliminary cleaning of the tableware inside. When it is necessary to prepare disinfectant, the on / off valve of the third inlet pipe 63 is closed, and then the inlet solenoid valve 7 is opened. The water flows through the three-way valve 10 and enters the resin softening chamber 8 and the saturated brine chamber 9 of the water softener, respectively, for subsequent electrolysis.
[0156] After the disinfectant prepared through the water tank is discharged and enters the inner tank, the on / off valve located on the third water inlet pipe 63 can be opened again to allow the outside clean water and disinfectant water to enter the inner tank at the same time for cleaning and disinfection.
[0157] Similarly, after the disinfection operation is completed, in order to avoid the presence of disinfectant residue in the inner tank, the inlet solenoid valve 7 is closed and the on / off valve on the third inlet pipe 63 is opened to rinse the inner tank.
[0158] In this embodiment, as one implementation method, the chamber structure itself can directly adopt a water tank structure. As another implementation method, such as... Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the chamber structure further includes:
[0159] The breather includes a water tank housed within it. Specifically, the water tank is a separate component of the breather, allowing it to perform its inherent functions. The breather is connected to an external water source (either a water tank or a tap water pipe) via a water inlet pipe 6. A solenoid valve is installed on the inlet pipe 6, controlling the flow of water into the breather. Furthermore, the inclusion of the water tank within the breather enables the electrolysis of the brine entering the breather. Therefore, by incorporating the breather, the need for a separate water tank within the dishwasher is eliminated, effectively reducing the space occupied by the dishwasher and improving its structural integrity.
[0160] Specifically, in this embodiment, the water tank itself is a component of the breathing apparatus, and it can be simply a closed structure surrounded by ribs, as long as it can contain water.
[0161] In this embodiment, the respirator includes:
[0162] The inlet b1 and outlet b2 are connected by the electrolysis component 17. Clean water from the outside enters the respirator through the inlet b1, and the disinfectant obtained after electrolysis flows out of the respirator through the outlet b2 and enters the inner tank.
[0163] Water flowing in through inlet b1 will flow into electrolysis device 17. Electrodes are installed inside electrolysis device 17 to realize electrolysis operation.
[0164] The electrolysis component 17 is provided with a breathing water passage b4 and an electrolysis water passage b3 separated from the breathing water passage b4, and the electrolysis component 17 is provided on the electrolysis water passage b3;
[0165] And a water channel reversing structure b5, which is adapted to open or close the breathing water channel b4 and the electrolytic water channel b3 so that the breathing water channel b4 and the electrolytic water channel b3 flow alternately.
[0166] Meanwhile, a salt chamber is also set inside the electrolysis device. Water in the electrolysis water circuit b3 first enters the salt chamber, and the resulting brine flows out of the salt chamber and acts on the electrodes to carry out the electrolysis operation.
[0167] In this embodiment, the breathing water path b4 and the electrolytic water path b3 are separated by a baffle, and the water path switching structure b5 itself is a solenoid valve structure, thereby realizing the switching of water.
[0168] Meanwhile, to facilitate the introduction of salt into the respirator, a salt inlet b6 is provided on the salt chamber. Solid salt is introduced into the respirator through the salt inlet b6. The salt inlet b6 is also located on the electrolytic water circuit b3, thereby conveying the brine obtained by mixing salt and water to the electrolysis component 17 for easy electrolysis. A cover is provided on the salt inlet b6 to prevent salt from flowing out.
[0169] An electrolysis component 17 is installed inside the traditional ventilator to prepare disinfectant solution using the electrolysis of saline solution. The prepared disinfectant solution can then enter a dishwasher for comprehensive disinfection. Furthermore, thanks to the water circuit reversing structure, the ventilator can perform different functions according to the dishwasher's needs. When the dishwasher requires disinfection, the electrolysis water circuit b3 is activated; otherwise, the breathing water circuit b4 is used.
[0170] In this embodiment, the dishwasher also includes:
[0171] A water cup 5 is installed inside the inner liner 1. The water tank has a disinfectant outlet 232. When the chamber structure itself is a water tank, the disinfectant 22 flowing from the outlet 232 enters the water cup 5. When the chamber structure itself is a respirator, the disinfectant flowing through the outlet b2 flows into the water cup inside the inner liner. The water cup 5 is connected to the spray arm 3, and a washing pump 4 is installed between the water cup 5 and the spray arm 3. By installing the water cup 5, the disinfectant prepared inside the water tank is transferred to the inner liner 1. The disinfectant in the inner liner 1 is further transferred to the spray arm 3. The spray arm 3 rotates to spray the disinfectant onto various parts of the inner liner 1, thereby cleaning the tableware 2 inside the inner liner 1.
[0172] Furthermore, the plane where the disinfectant outlet 232 or the water outlet b2 is located is higher than the upper surface of the water cup 5. This creates a positional difference between the plane where the water tank outlet b2 is located and the upper surface of the water cup 5, allowing the disinfectant in the water tank to flow into the water cup 5 solely under the influence of gravity. Utilizing the principle of communicating vessels, this ensures that all the disinfectant in the water tank flows into the water cup 5, facilitating the dilution of the disinfectant in the water cup 5 with a preset volume of water and avoiding inaccurate concentrations of the effective components in the disinfectant.
[0173] The sterilization process of the dishwasher provided in this embodiment is as follows:
[0174] When the chamber structure is set as a water tank, the inlet pipe 6 enters the water softener 12. At this time, the water in the resin softening chamber inlet pipe 11 enters the resin softening chamber 8, and the water in the saturated brine chamber inlet pipe 20 enters the saturated brine chamber 9. The water flowing out of the resin softening chamber 8 is softened to form soft water, and the water flowing out of the saturated brine chamber 9 mixes with the brine in the saturated brine chamber 9 to form brine. The water flowing out of the two chambers converges at the confluence of the water tank to form brine with a specific concentration. After the brine is mixed, it flows further into the water channel 24. The brine passes through the guide section 241 and the rectification section 242 in sequence, and flows out from the drain outlet 2421 of the rectification section 242 into the water tank. As brine is continuously injected into the water tank, it gradually submerges the electrolysis component 17. At this time, the electrolysis operation of the brine is started, thereby producing disinfectant through the chemical reaction provided in this embodiment. After the disinfectant solution is prepared, it leaves the water tank through the disinfectant outlet 232 and enters the inner tank 1. The disinfection of tableware 2 is achieved through the water cup 5 and spray arm 3 in the inner tank 1.
[0175] When the chamber structure is a respirator, external water first enters the respirator's breathing water passage b4, then leaves b4 and enters the water softener 12. At this time, water from the resin softening chamber inlet pipe 11 enters the resin softening chamber 8, and water from the saturated saline chamber inlet pipe 20 enters the saturated saline chamber 9. The water flowing out of the resin softening chamber 8 is softened to form soft water, while the water flowing out of the saturated saline chamber 9 mixes with the saline solution in the saturated saline chamber 9 to form saline solution. The resulting saline solution then enters the respirator's electrolytic water passage b3, where it is further electrolyzed by the electrolysis device. Finally, the prepared disinfectant solution is transferred to the inner tank 1 through the outlet b2.
[0176] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the scope of protection of this invention.
