[0052] The dishwasher provided by the present invention has an inner tank provided with several layers of bowl baskets arranged along the height direction, and the bowl baskets are suitable for placing tableware; a baffle is provided on the opening of the inner tank, and the baffle is suitable for closing the opening.
[0053] The technical solution of the present invention has the following advantages:
[0054] 1. The dishwasher provided by the present invention comprises a chamber structure, wherein a water tank chamber is provided inside, and a salt water generating device is provided on the water tank chamber; an electrolysis assembly is provided inside the water tank chamber and is suitable for performing electrolysis operations on the salt water generated by the salt water generating device; a box body, wherein the chamber structure acts on the box body, and the box body includes an inner tank and a door body suitable for closing the inner tank, wherein the inner tank is suitable for placing tableware to be washed, and the chamber structure is suitable for acting on at least one of the inner tank and the door body; substances located in the chamber structure are suitable for flowing out of the water tank chamber and into the inner tank.
[0055] The salt water generating device generates salt water for electrolysis, and the salt water can realize electrolysis of the salt water itself in the chamber structure and form high-valent hypochlorite ions. By setting up a box body, the chamber structure itself can be fixed. The disinfectant with high oxidizing properties will enter the inner tank from the chamber structure to clean the tableware, bowls and baskets, side walls, etc. in the inner tank, as well as the fruits and vegetables in the inner tank, thereby realizing a full range of disinfection operations on the inner tank.
[0056] 2. The dishwasher provided by the present invention has an overflow port provided on the water tank, a through hole provided on the inner tank at a position corresponding to the overflow port, an overflow exhaust structure provided between the overflow port and the through hole, and the overflow exhaust structure is suitable for limiting the unidirectional flow of substances in the water tank from the overflow port into the through hole.
[0057] When there is too much water in the water tank, the excess water can be led out of the water tank through the overflow port. In addition, the highly oxidizing disinfectant produced in the water tank is clean water itself, while the water in the inner tank is turbid water itself, which is mixed with a large amount of oil. At this time, it is necessary to prevent the water in the inner tank from flowing back into the water tank and polluting the water in the water tank. By setting an overflow exhaust structure, the clean water in the water tank can flow one-way to the inner tank. At the same time, through the overflow exhaust structure, when an electrolysis reaction occurs inside the water tank, flammable gases such as hydrogen will be generated inside it. By setting an overflow port, the hydrogen can be quickly led out from the inside of the water tank to the outside to ensure the safety of the water tank itself.
[0058] 3. The overflow vent structure of the dishwasher provided herein comprises: a water vapor inlet extending through a first side of the overflow vent structure; and a water retaining end cap disposed on a second side of the overflow vent structure and extending along the direction of the water vapor inlet, adapted to block the direction of the water vapor inlet. The water retaining end cap ensures a one-way flow of clean water from the water tank into the inner container.
[0059] 4. In the dishwasher provided by the present invention, the backflow prevention 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 within the overflow port at a position corresponding to the overflow vent. This ensures that liquid or gas at a specific angle from the second side of the overflow vent structure is not only blocked by the water retaining end cap, but also blocked again by the backflow prevention rib after a small portion of the liquid or gas enters the overflow vent, thereby reducing the risk of splashing into the overflow vent structure.
[0060] The cooperation between the anti-backflow rib and the water retaining end cover enables the guide channel inside the overflow exhaust structure to form a meandering structure, thereby increasing the shielding of liquid or gas at a specific angle from the second side of the overflow exhaust structure, and increasing the difficulty of liquid or gas at a specific angle from the second side of the overflow exhaust structure entering the overflow exhaust structure.
[0061] 5. In the water tank provided by this embodiment, the lowest point of the anti-backflow rib in the vertical direction is higher than the lowest point of the overflow vent, so that after the water overflowing from the water tank enters the water vapor inlet, it will be blocked by the anti-backflow rib to prevent backflow; and after the external water enters from the overflow vent, it will also be blocked by the anti-backflow rib in the process of flowing into 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 exhaust port and the spraying direction of the spray arm at an angle, with a specific value range of 90°≤β2≤180°, that is, the opening direction of the overflow exhaust port and the spraying direction of the spray arm are set in approximately opposite directions, can reduce the water sprayed by the spray arm from entering the overflow exhaust structure, thereby reducing the water sprayed by the spray arm from entering the water tank.
[0063] 7. The dishwasher provided by the present invention, the salt water generating device includes: a dispenser, which is detachably arranged on the water tank, and a receiving tank is provided in the dispenser; a water channel, which is arranged on the water tank and has a drain outlet, and the water passing through the water channel acts on the receiving tank through the drain outlet.
[0064] The combination of the dispenser and the water channel allows water from outside the dishwasher to be introduced into the water tank, simultaneously dissolving the salt in the dispenser inside the water tank. This is simple and efficient. Furthermore, the amount of salt placed in the tank can be adjusted based on the type, quantity, or degree of contamination of the dishware, thereby expanding the applicability of the entire device.
[0065] 8. The dishwasher provided by the present invention, the water tank includes a first water tank side wall; a second water tank side wall is arranged opposite to the first water tank side wall, and the second water tank side wall is arranged adjacent to the inner tank wall of the inner tank; a salt delivery port is provided on the second water tank side wall, and a flange hole is provided on the portion of the inner tank wall corresponding to the salt delivery port, and the dispenser is suitable for penetrating into the water tank through the flange hole.
[0066] The combination of the salt delivery port and the flange hole can realize the connection between the water tank and the inner tank, and at the same time it is helpful to realize the material exchange between the water tank and the inner tank.
[0067] 9. In the dishwasher provided by the present invention, a salt opening flange is formed protruding from the edge of the salt opening in the direction in which it extends into the inner container, and the dispenser is detachably mounted on the salt opening flange. A knob buckle is protruding from the inner wall of the salt opening flange, and the dispenser is detachably connected to the knob buckle.
[0068] Through the above-mentioned setting method, a stable connection between the dispenser and the water tank can be achieved, ensuring the stability of the dispenser itself during the preparation of salt water, and thus achieving stability during the preparation of the disinfectant.
[0069] 10. In the dishwasher provided by the present invention, when the knob buckle is engaged with the positioning slot, the flow hole of the accommodating slot is arranged toward the drain outlet in the water tank, and the projection of the drain outlet coincides with the flow hole.
[0070] Through the above-mentioned setting method, the water flowing out of the drain outlet can be directly applied to the flow hole position. At this time, the water has a large kinetic energy under the action of weight. Therefore, after flushing the salt, the brine can be directly discharged from the flow hole, thereby improving the efficiency of brine preparation.
[0071] 11. The dishwasher provided by the present invention further includes a fixing seat, which is arranged on the salt port flange, and after the fixing seat is fixed in place, one end surface of the fixing seat abuts against the inner tank wall.
[0072] By setting up a fixing seat, which cooperates with the salt outlet flange, a stable connection between the water tank and the inner tank can be achieved, thereby improving the stability of the entire dishwasher itself.
[0073] 12. The dishwasher provided by the present invention further includes: a water tank inlet and a water tank outlet, which are respectively connected to the water tank chamber; one end of the water channel is connected to the water tank inlet, and the water channel includes a diversion section and a rectification section, and the drain outlet is formed on at least one of the diversion section and the rectification section.
[0074] The drainage section can direct water from the water inlet into the water tank, and the rectifying section can guide and adjust the direction of the water flow, thereby outputting a columnar water flow. When the water tank has a structure such as a solute tank to accommodate salt, the directional impact of the water column formed by the waterway drainage section or the rectifying section allows the salt to be more fully impacted by the water column and dissolve in the water. When water is injected into the water tank to impact the salt to form a salt solution, or when the salt solution is injected directly through the drain, the water in the water tank is electrolyzed inside the water tank or sent to the electrolysis component to form a disinfectant. While the disinfectant is used to disinfect the tableware in the dishwasher, the pipes through which the disinfectant flows are also disinfected and sterilized. Therefore, even if disinfectant is involved, bacteria will not grow.
[0075] 13. In the dishwasher provided herein, the drain outlet is located on the flow-regulating section. The overall shape of the flow-regulating section allows water to flow from a direction with higher gravitational potential energy to a direction with lower gravitational potential energy. This not only creates thrust on the water in the flow-regulating section, but also converts gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy, giving the water flowing out of the flow-regulating section a stronger ability to impact salt. Any clumps of salt within the salt are more easily dispersed and dissolved in the water to form a salt solution.
[0076] 14. The dishwasher provided by the present invention further includes: a breather, on which is provided a breather water inlet pipe, the breather water inlet pipe is connected to the water source through a water inlet solenoid valve; a water softener, which is connected to the breather, and the water softener is provided with a water softener outlet pipe; a three-way valve, which is connected to the water softener outlet pipe, and the water outlet ends of the three-way valve are respectively connected to the water tank and the water cup.
[0077] By setting a three-way valve, the water flowing out of the water softener can be introduced into the water tank for electrolysis operation, or passed into the inner tank for rinsing tableware, thereby achieving cleaning and disinfection of the tableware in the inner tank.
[0078] 15. In the dishwasher provided by the present invention, the chamber structure includes at least one of a breather and a water tank.
[0079] When the chamber structure itself uses a respirator, salt water generated by the salt water generator enters the chamber structure. At this time, the electrolytic component will perform electrolysis inside the respirator, electrolyzing the salt water into a disinfectant. The electrolytic component is installed inside a traditional respirator, and the prepared disinfectant can enter the dishwasher to achieve comprehensive disinfection and sterilization.
[0080] Through the above-mentioned setting method, the preparation of the disinfectant itself can be achieved through the respirator, which helps to reduce the structure involved in the whole machine and helps to improve the compactness of the whole machine. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0140] Specifically, as an optional embodiment, the chamber structure and the box body can be combined in the following ways: the water tank is mounted on the inner liner; the water tank is mounted on the door; the breather is mounted on the inner liner; the breather is mounted on the door. These various solutions can all achieve the installation and fixation of the chamber structure itself.
[0141] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the chamber structure itself is a water tank, which is arranged on the side wall of the inner tank. A water tank chamber b901 is arranged inside the water tank b0, and a salt water generating device is arranged on the water tank chamber b901. Specifically, the salt water generating device contains salt water. The salt water can be prepared inside the salt water generating device, or a pre-prepared salt solution can be directly placed into the salt water generating device. When a pre-prepared salt solution is used, a corresponding injection port can be provided on the water tank b0 to directly inject the prepared salt solution into the device.
[0142] The electrolysis component c0 is disposed inside the water tank chamber b901 and is suitable for performing electrolysis operations on the brine generated by the brine generating device;
[0143] The inner liner d5, the water tank b0 is arranged on the inner liner d5, the inner liner d5 is suitable for placing tableware to be washed, and the cleaning liquid for the tableware is generated in the inner liner d5. The inner liner itself is provided with an opening, and a door body is provided on the opening, and the inner liner is closed by the door body; the inner liner d5 is provided with several layers of bowl baskets h arranged along the height direction, and the bowl baskets are suitable for placing tableware g.
[0144] There is no excessive limitation on the relative position relationship between the water tank b0 and the inner container. The water tank itself can be directly arranged on the outside of the inner container, on the side wall of the inner container, on the top wall of the inner container, or on the door. As a preferred embodiment, the water tank itself is arranged on the side wall of the inner container, such as Figure 23 As shown, the water tank is arranged on the left side wall of the inner liner. Correspondingly, the water tank can also be arranged on the right side wall of the inner liner.
[0145] The water tank b0 is provided with a salt inlet b10, and the inner tank d5 is provided with a through hole at a position corresponding to the overflow port b6, so that the substance in the water tank b0 is suitable for entering the inner tank d5 through the overflow port b6 and the through hole.
[0146] In this embodiment, the working principle of the dishwasher itself is as follows:
[0147] Cathode: 2Cl - -2e=Cl2
[0148] Anode: 2H2O+2e - =H2+2OH -
[0149] Overall reaction: 2Cl - +2H2O= H2+Cl2+2OH -
[0150] A disproportionation reaction will occur between chlorine and water: Cl2+H2O=HCl+HClO. The produced HClO itself has certain oxidizing properties, thereby achieving the killing effect on bacteria and viruses.
[0151] In this embodiment, the salt used is NaCl, which is non-toxic and stable in nature, not prone to deterioration, and convenient for storage and electrolytic disinfection. Other chlorates, such as KCl and CaCl2, are not recommended because they can cause certain harm to the human body.
[0152] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, salt water is prepared inside the water tank b0. In order to achieve the salt water preparation operation, the salt water generating device will adopt the following specific structure:
[0153] The dispenser is provided with a receiving tank a1. Specifically, the receiving tank itself is used to hold sodium chloride. Before the dishwasher needs to start cleaning tableware, fruits, vegetables, etc., a predetermined amount of sodium chloride is placed in the receiving tank. The specific method of adding sodium chloride is not limited, and can be done manually or using automatic weighing equipment, as long as the specified amount of sodium chloride can be added. Specifically, the material of the dispenser itself is not particularly limited, and it can be directly made of plastic through injection molding.
[0154] In this embodiment, there is no limitation on the installation method of the dispenser. The dispenser itself can be integrally formed on the water tank. In this case, a channel for adding salt is provided between the dispenser and the water tank. As a preferred embodiment, the dispenser itself is detachably provided on the water tank, detachably provided on the water tank b0;
[0155] Water channel b5 is provided with a drain port b501. Water passing through water channel b5 flows through drain port b501 into the receiving tank a1. Specifically, the water channel itself can have a specific structure or directly adopt a water spout. The drain port in the water channel allows external water to be introduced into the water tank and further into the receiving tank of the dispenser. The salt in the receiving tank is then dissolved after being flushed and then flows out of the receiving tank a1, thus producing brine for electrolysis.
[0156] In this embodiment, in order to realize the operation of placing the dispenser, the following structure is adopted: the water tank b0 includes a first water tank side wall b904 and a second water tank side wall b905 arranged opposite to each other, wherein the second water tank side wall b905 is arranged adjacent to the inner liner wall d51 of the inner liner; a salt delivery port b10 is provided on the first water tank side wall 904, and a flange hole d52 is provided on the inner liner wall d51 at a position corresponding to the salt delivery port b10, and the dispenser is suitable for penetrating into the water tank b0 through the flange hole d52 and the salt delivery port b10.
[0157] That is, when the dispenser needs to be placed, it is necessary to first place the dispenser into the inner tank, and then the dispenser passes through the flange hole and the salt delivery port in sequence and enters the interior of the water tank.
[0158] Furthermore, to ensure a stable connection between the dispenser and the inner container, a salt opening flange b101 is formed on the edge of the salt inlet b10, extending into the inner container d5. The dispenser is detachably mounted on this flange b101. When the dispenser needs to be refilled with salt or cleaned, the dispenser can be simply detached from the flange b101.
[0159] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, the salt opening flange itself is annular and extends a certain distance into the inner tank. This arrangement forms a platform for placing the dispenser, thereby improving the dispenser's stability. The axis of the salt opening flange is perpendicular to the inner tank wall or the side wall of the first water tank, thereby preventing the dispenser from slipping. The salt opening flange itself is integrally formed with the water tank and mounted on the water tank.
[0160] Furthermore, after the dispenser is placed in the salt opening flange, other structures can be provided to prevent it from being dislodged from the inner container, etc. In this embodiment, a knob buckle a5 is protruding from the inner wall of the salt opening flange b101, and the dispenser is detachably connected to the knob buckle a5.
[0161] Specifically, the structure of the knob buckle itself is not limited and can be elastic or convex. When elastic, the knob buckle is compressed when the dispenser enters the salt opening flange. When the dispenser is stabilized within the salt opening flange, the knob buckle resets, indicating the dispenser's movement. As a preferred embodiment, the knob buckle itself adopts a convex configuration. When the dispenser rotates a certain amount, it acts on the knob buckle, thereby achieving stability between the two.
[0162] The following is an introduction to the dispenser provided in this embodiment:
[0163] To dispense salt, the dispenser in this embodiment includes: a receiving tank a1; and a handle a2, located on a first wall a101 of the receiving tank a1. The receiving tank itself is used to hold sodium chloride, and the handle is connected to the receiving tank. To move the receiving tank, the user simply applies pressure on the handle to move or rotate it.
[0164] In this embodiment, the receiving groove and the handle can be integrally formed or can be separated. When integrally formed, they can be directly produced by injection molding. As a preferred embodiment, the receiving groove a1 is detachably provided on the handle a2.
[0165] Specifically, there is no particular limitation on the disassembly method between the receiving groove and the handle, which can be an interference fit or a threaded connection. As a preferred embodiment, a snap-fit structure a4 is provided between the receiving groove a1 and the handle a2.
[0166] In this case, the snap-fit structure a4 includes a dispenser snap-fit a401 and a dispenser slot a402 that cooperate with each other. The snap-fit may be provided on the first slot wall and the slot on the handle; or the slot may be provided on the first slot wall and the snap-fit may be provided on the handle. Alternatively, both the first slot wall and the handle may be provided with a snap-fit structure that cooperates with each other.
[0167] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the holding portion a2 includes a holding base a201 and a protective edge a202 circumferentially arranged along the inner edge of the holding base a201, and the dispenser buckle a401 and / or the dispenser slot a402 are arranged on the protective edge a202.
[0168] A guide protrusion a102 is formed on the end surface of the first groove wall a101 facing the holding portion a2. The holding portion a2 further includes a guide groove a203 provided on the holding base a201 and cooperating with the guide protrusion a102.
[0169] Furthermore, the grip portion a2 includes a gripping rib a204 disposed between the gripping base a201 and the retaining edge a202. A first sealing groove a205 is formed between the gripping rib a204 and the gripping base a201. A first sealing member a3 is disposed within the first sealing groove a205. The provision of the first sealing groove a205 allows the first sealing member a3 to be pressed against the salt opening flange b101, thereby achieving a seal between the dispenser and the water tank, preventing water in the liner from entering the water tank through the dispenser and contaminating the water tank.
[0170] Specifically, the first sealing member a3 is constructed as a sealing ring structure. At the same time, the first sealing member itself is made of a flexible material, such as rubber, so that it can deform after being compressed and further form a seal.
[0171] In this embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, a handle a206 is provided on the end surface of the grip base a201, distal from the receiving groove a1. The structure of the handle itself is not specifically defined; it can be provided as a "I"-shaped protrusion on the grip base to facilitate the user's rotation of the dispenser. Alternatively, the handle can be shaped like a "cross," but this is not specifically defined in this embodiment.
[0172] In this embodiment, the saltwater mixture prepared in the tank can flow directly out through the tank's opening to the outside. Furthermore, to fully dissolve the sodium chloride in the tank, the bottom of the tank a1 is provided with a plurality of flow holes a103. These flow holes ensure that the solution produced in the tank can flow out completely, preventing residual bottom liquid from remaining in the tank and causing the subsequent disinfectant concentration to substandard. Furthermore, the flow holes a103 slow the flow of salt particles out of the tank a1, thereby facilitating salt dissolution.
[0173] There are no specific restrictions on the number, arrangement, and shape of the flow holes themselves. Regarding the arrangement, other arrangements may be employed, such as an annular or triangular arrangement. As a preferred embodiment, several of the flow holes a103 are arranged in a straight line side by side at the bottom a1 of the receiving tank, near the second tank wall a106. Furthermore, regarding shape, the flow holes themselves can be regular, such as rectangular or elliptical, or irregular, as long as leakage can be achieved. As a preferred embodiment, the flow holes themselves are circular. Furthermore, the aperture of the circular holes ranges from 0.5 mm to 5 mm. This sizing prevents salt particles from escaping the receiving tank directly through the flow holes.
[0174] To precisely control the amount of sodium chloride in the tank, several scales a104 are installed along the depth of tank a1. These scales indicate the real-time capacity of tank a1. Different tableware and contamination levels require different amounts of salt for the chemical reaction. The scales facilitate user control of the amount of salt added, enabling precise preparation of the disinfectant concentration.
[0175] In this embodiment, to prevent the receiving tank from dislodging from the salt inlet flange, the following configuration is employed: Several legs a105 are provided on the backside of the bottom of the receiving tank a1. The handle and receiving tank are designed as a circular structure, which can easily roll when placed, potentially spilling the salt within. Therefore, the legs are designed to prevent the dispenser from tipping over during placement. The legs themselves can be inserted into the water tank through the salt inlet on the sidewall of the second water tank. Due to their length, they limit axial movement of the dispenser along the salt inlet.
[0176] As a preferred embodiment, a rotation slot a207 that is correspondingly formed on the edge guard a202 of the handle portion a2 and is engaged with the knob.
[0177] Specifically, the rotation slot a207 includes: a guide slot a2071 that cooperates with the knob buckle a5 to be introduced; a positioning slot a2072 that locks the knob buckle a5; and a travel guide slot a2073 that is connected between the guide slot a2071 and the positioning slot a2072 to provide a rotation stroke.
[0178] In this embodiment, in order to improve the connection stability of the dispenser on the water tank, the slot size of the travel guide groove a2073 gradually decreases in the direction toward the positioning slot a2072. Specifically, the slot size can decrease linearly or nonlinearly, as long as the decreasing action can be achieved.
[0179] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the action of reducing the slot size, the groove edge structures on both sides of the travel guide groove a2073 are constructed as curved guide structures. Through the above-mentioned setting method, the dispenser is gradually clamped during the rotation process, thereby preventing shaking or dislodging.
[0180] In this embodiment, the extension size of the positioning slot itself is also limited. When the knob buckle a5 is connected to the positioning slot a2072, the flow hole a103 of the accommodating groove a1 is set toward the drain outlet b501 in the water tank b0.
[0181] like Figure 3 As shown, through the above-mentioned arrangement, the water flowing out of the drain outlet itself can be fully applied to the interior of the receiving tank, thereby achieving rapid and complete dissolution of the sodium chloride in the receiving tank. In this embodiment, the drain outlet itself can be appropriately tilted, as long as it ensures that the water flowing out of the drain outlet ultimately flows into the flow hole position.
[0182] As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, Figure 8 As shown, the projection of the drain port 501 coincides with the flow hole a103. Specifically, the drain port is positioned directly above the flow hole. This arrangement allows water flowing out of the drain port b501 to be directly applied to the flow hole a103. The water, under the action of its weight, possesses greater kinetic energy, allowing the brine to be directly discharged from the flow hole a103 after flushing the salt, thereby improving the efficiency of brine preparation.
[0183] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the connection between the water tank and the inner tank, a support base can be separately provided under the water tank to stabilize the water tank. As a preferred embodiment, a fixing base is separately provided in this embodiment. The following is a description of the specific structure of the fixing base:
[0184] The fixing base a6 is mounted on the salt opening flange b101, and when secured in place, one end of the fixing base a6 abuts against the inner tank wall d51. The fixing base a6, in conjunction with the salt opening flange b101, provides a stable connection between the water tank and the inner tank, thereby improving the stability of the entire dishwasher.
[0185] There is no limitation on the shape of the fixing seat itself, which can be circular or rectangular. As a preferred embodiment, the fixing seat itself is circular with a hollow center. Threads are provided on the inner wall of the fixing seat. Correspondingly, threads are provided on the outer wall of the salt opening flange. The connection between the threads is achieved by the connection between the threads. After the fixing seat itself is tightened, the end of the fixing seat will rest against the side wall of the inner liner. As a variant, the fixing seat a6 can also be tightened on the salt opening flange b101. Specifically, the outer wall size of the salt opening flange b101 gradually increases along the direction close to the salt inlet b10. When the fixing seat a6 is assembled, the fixing seat gradually tightens on the salt opening flange b101 as it penetrates deeper.
[0186] In this embodiment, a second sealing groove a7 is formed between the end of the fixing base a6 distal from the inner liner wall d51 and the upper edge of the salt opening flange b101. The dispenser is provided with a first sealing member a3, which is secured to the second sealing groove a7. The provision of the second sealing groove a7 cooperates with the first sealing member on the dispenser, thereby preventing water in the inner liner from entering the water tank through the gap between the dispenser and the fixing base, thereby contaminating the water in the water tank.
[0187] Specifically, the second sealing groove itself is arranged in an annular shape, and the first sealing member itself is arranged in the second sealing groove, wherein the first sealing member itself is made of a flexible material, such as rubber, and the radius of the first sealing member itself is smaller than the radius of the second sealing groove, thereby stabilizing the first sealing member in the second sealing groove.
[0188] Furthermore, a plurality of tooling grooves a601 are provided on the end surface of the fixing seat a6 away from the inner liner wall d51.
[0189] The plurality of tooling slots are arranged at equal intervals from each other, and the tooling slots themselves are arranged in a concave shape, so that the operator can put his hand into the tooling slot to rotate the tooling slot.
[0190] In this embodiment, in order to further achieve the sealing between the water tank and the inner tank and prevent water from flowing out through the gap between the water tank and the inner tank, as shown in FIG. Figure 4As shown, a sealing rib b102 protrudes from the first water tank sidewall b904 toward the inner liner wall d51. A corresponding third sealing groove d53 is formed on the inner liner wall d51, and the sealing rib b102 engages with the third sealing groove d53. This arrangement improves the sealing performance of the connection between the water tank and the inner liner, preventing water from entering the inner liner or water from flowing into the gap between the water tank and the inner liner, potentially contaminating the outer wall of the dishwasher or the surrounding environment.
[0191] Specifically, the sealing rib itself can be arranged in a continuous or discontinuous manner. As a preferred embodiment, the sealing rib itself is arranged in a continuous manner. In this case, the sealing rib can be arranged in a circular or rectangular manner. As a preferred embodiment, the sealing rib itself is arranged in a circular manner. Correspondingly, the third sealing groove itself also adopts a circular sealing method.
[0192] In this embodiment, the sealing rib itself can be integrally formed on the first water tank side wall, or it can be separately set on the first water tank side wall. As a preferred embodiment, the sealing rib b102 is constructed as an annular protrusion structure, which itself can be set on the first water tank side wall by integral injection molding.
[0193] Furthermore, to enhance the sealing performance between the water tank and the inner tank, a second sealing member b103 is sandwiched between the outer circumference of the salt opening flange b101 and the flange hole d52. Specifically, the second sealing member b103 itself is provided in the form of an annular rubber ring and is directly made of rubber.
[0194] In this embodiment, the setting position of the second sealing member b103 is not limited. It can be set close to the fixed seat or offset from the fixed seat. As a preferred embodiment, the lower edge of the fixed seat a6 abuts on the second sealing member b103. Through the above-mentioned setting method, it is possible to prevent the water in the inner pot from entering the area between the water tank and the inner pot through the gap between the fixed seat and the inner pot wall, causing the water to flow out of the dishwasher. Furthermore, the second sealing member itself can be provided in plurality, and the plurality of second sealing members are concentrically arranged with each other. In the direction away from the salt mouth flange, the inner diameter of the second sealing member gradually increases, thereby forming a multi-level sealing structure. Specifically, the second sealing member b103 is constructed as a sealing ring structure.
[0195] The above mainly describes how the inner tank and the water tank are connected and sealed. Furthermore, in order to achieve the conduction operation between the water tank and the outside water, the following structure is adopted in this embodiment:
[0196] The water tank chamber b901 is provided with a water tank inlet b7 and a water tank outlet b8, and the water tank inlet is connected to the outside. Figure 6 As shown, the water tank inlet b7 and the water tank outlet b8 are located at the bottom of the water tank. A water pump and other structures are provided in the water tank b0 to pressurize the water introduced through the water tank inlet b7 and draw it into the water tank. Simultaneously, after the electrolysis component c0 completes the electrolysis of the brine, a highly oxidizing disinfectant flows out through the water tank outlet b8 and into the inner tank, thereby disinfecting the substances in the inner tank d5. As an alternative embodiment, since the water tank outlet b8 is located at the bottom of the water tank b0, when discharging the disinfectant, the water tank outlet b8 can be opened and the disinfectant can be automatically discharged by gravity.
[0197] In this embodiment, in order to achieve a sufficient dissolution of the salt water flowing out of the dispenser, a rectification structure is separately provided in the water tank, specifically:
[0198] A rectifying structure is provided on the first water tank sidewall b901. The rectifying structure includes at least one rib located along the salt flow path and above the water tank outlet b8. Water flow detours around the rectifying structure, forming at least one detour path. With this arrangement, when water entering through the water tank inlet b7 dissolves the sodium chloride within the dispenser, the resulting salt water collides with the ribs, fully dissolving any remaining salt. The salt water exiting the dispenser then dissolves and falls.
[0199] In this embodiment, Figure 6 As shown, the rectifying structure includes: a first rib b1, which is arranged near the water outlet b8 of the water tank. The first rib is arranged near the water outlet to intercept and disperse the salt blocks flowing towards the water outlet and force the salt blocks to bypass and fully dissolve.
[0200] Specifically, the first rib itself can be arranged in an inclined shape or in a horizontal shape, as long as the salt water flowing out of the dispenser can flow on it. The first rib itself can be directly arranged in the water tank chamber b901 by an integral molding method.
[0201] Specifically, the first rib itself is disposed in the lower portion of the water tank chamber. As a preferred embodiment, a mouth portion b902 is disposed in the water tank chamber b901, the water tank outlet b8 is disposed within the mouth portion b902, and the first rib b1 is disposed within the mouth portion b902. At least a gap is left between the first rib b1 and the sidewall of the mouth portion b902 for water to pass through. By providing this gap, the brine produced after electrolysis can be introduced into the water tank outlet and further into the inner tank. As an alternative embodiment, the first rib b1 is disposed above the open end of the mouth portion b902.
[0202] There is no specific restriction on the location of the pot mouth b902. Figure 6 、 Figure 25 As shown, in this embodiment, the mouth of the pot b902 is correspondingly arranged below the salt delivery port b10 and / or the salt dispenser. When water, electrolyte solution, or disinfectant is directly injected into the water tank chamber through the salt delivery port, the water flow will not directly impact the mouth of the pot, but will be buffered by the first rib to prevent the formation of foam when the water is injected.
[0203] As a preferred embodiment, Figure 25 As shown, the mouth portion b902 includes a bevel b9021, which is located at one end of the mouth portion b902 away from the water outlet b8 of the water tank. The width of the mouth portion b902 gradually decreases along the extension direction of the bevel b9021. The bevel b9021 serves as a guide, directing water or disinfectant on both sides of the opening area of the mouth portion b902 to flow into the mouth portion b902.
[0204] Regarding the structure of the pot mouth b902, based on the above embodiment, as a further limited embodiment, Figure 25As shown, the inclined surface b9021 of the Hukou is provided with a Hukou protrusion b9022, which is disposed on the Hukou protrusion b9021 and projects into the interior of the Hukou portion. Because the Hukou protrusion b9021 serves as a guide, water or disinfectant first impacts the Hukou protrusion b9021 and then flows along the inclined surface of the Hukou protrusion b9021. Therefore, the Hukou protrusion b9022 can fully collide with the water or disinfectant flowing along the Hukou protrusion b9021. If undissolved salt lumps exist in the water or disinfectant, the salt lumps will be dissipated by the impact of the water flow on the Hukou protrusion b9022, thereby being fully dissolved. This prevents the salt lumps from entering the Hukou portion b902 and clogging the water tank outlet b8. On the other hand, the area adjacent to the pot mouth is the local structure where the water tank inlet b7 is located. A flow meter i is installed at this inlet to monitor the water flow into the water tank chamber. The flow meter's mounting structure, such as a trough, can be located on the back of the pot mouth protrusion. The pot mouth protrusion is relatively thick, providing good mechanical strength and improving the installation reliability of other components such as the flow meter. In addition to guiding the flow of water, the inclined surface also provides a mounting base for other components of the entire machine, improving the compactness of the overall mechanical structure.
[0205] Regarding the specific structure of the Hukou slope b9021, based on the above embodiment, as a further limited embodiment, Figure 25 As shown, the mouth portion b902 includes a mouth reinforcement rib structure, comprising at least a first mouth reinforcement rib b9023 and a second mouth reinforcement rib b9024. A mouth channel b9025 is formed between the first and second mouth reinforcement ribs. The mouth channel further reduces the cross-sectional area through which water or disinfectant flows, streamlining the flow before it enters the water tank outlet b8. Furthermore, the mouth reinforcement ribs have a certain height, allowing them to be supported between the first and second sidewalls of the water tank, thereby increasing the strength of the water tank chamber.
[0206] On the basis of the above embodiment, as a further limited embodiment, Figure 25 As shown, the first pot mouth reinforcement rib is in a broken line shape, and a triangular reinforcement structure is formed between the first pot mouth reinforcement rib and the pot mouth inclined surface, thereby further improving the mechanical strength of the pot mouth inclined surface.
[0207] Specifically, as a preferred embodiment of the shape of the Hukou channel, Figure 25 As shown, the Hukou channel b9025 is provided with a Hukou reducing portion b9026 at one end close to the water tank outlet b8, and the width of the Hukou channel b9025 gradually increases at the Hukou reducing portion b9026 toward the water tank outlet b8.
[0208] In this embodiment, in order to further realize the dissolution operation of the salt itself, the rectification structure further includes:
[0209] The second rib b2 is provided between the downstream of the salt inlet b10 and the upstream of the first rib b1. Figure 6 As shown, the second rib b2 is arranged below the salt dispenser and above the first rib b1. Figure 6 As shown, by arranging multiple layers of ribs along the height direction, the salt particles continuously collide with the ribs and further dissolve.
[0210] The number of second ribs b2 is not particularly limited. In a preferred embodiment, two second ribs b2 are provided, with a spacing therebetween. The spacing forms a baffle between the two second ribs b2. Specifically, the lower end of the upper second rib b2 is positioned above the upper second rib b2, thereby receiving saltwater from the upper second rib and achieving sufficient dissolution between the salt particles and the water.
[0211] In this embodiment, at least one of the second ribs b2 is tilted toward the salt delivery port b10. This arrangement allows the second ribs to receive more salt water flowing from the dispenser, allowing the salt water to flow along the second ribs, increasing the dissolution time between the salt particles and the water and preventing the salt water from falling directly to the bottom of the water tank chamber.
[0212] Furthermore, the second rib b2 at least partially covers the gap upstream between the first rib b1 and the inner wall of the water tank chamber b901. This arrangement prevents water remaining on the second rib from directly falling into the gap, which would reduce the time for the salt particles to dissolve in the water and affect the normal dissolution of the salt water.
[0213] In this embodiment, in order to achieve the dissolution operation of the salt in the dispenser, a variety of different methods can be used. As an implementation method, water can be injected from the bottom of the water tank and then gradually overflow the dispenser.
[0214] As a preferred embodiment, a water channel is provided in the water tank, which serves to drain water and flush the salt in the dispenser. One end of the water channel b5 is connected to the water inlet b7 of the water tank. The water channel b5 includes a drainage section b502 and a rectifying section b503. The drain outlet b501 is formed on at least one of the drainage section b502 and the rectifying section b503.
[0215] By setting up the water channel, the water can dissolve the salt when it enters the water tank b0, avoiding the need to wait until the water rises to a certain height before dissolving the salt, which can effectively reduce the time required for salt dissolution.
[0216] Specifically, the drain port b501 itself can be set on the diversion section b502 or on the rectifying section b503, as long as the water flowing out through the drain port b501 can be applied to the dispenser. As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the drain port b501 is set on the rectifying section b503.
[0217] Specifically, the angle between the diversion section b502 and the rectifying section b503 is less than 180°, and the functional area b903 is enclosed between the diversion section b502 and the rectifying section b503. This arrangement allows water diverted through the waterway to directly act on the upper portion of the dispenser. As a result, after flowing out of the drain outlet b501, the water is accelerated by gravity and generates kinetic energy, which in turn causes the water to enter the dispenser at a greater rate, dissolving the salt particles within the dispenser.
[0218] The shape of the flow straightening section b503 is not particularly limited and can be arranged in a broken line or an S-shaped manner. As a preferred embodiment, the flow straightening section b503 is in an arc shape. Specifically, the center of the flow straightening section is located inside the water tank chamber b904.
[0219] In this embodiment, the functional area b903 is an area where drainage and overflow exhaust operations can be performed simultaneously. The overflow port b6 is provided in the functional area b903.
[0220] The overflow port itself can achieve the following functions: when the water level inside the water tank is too high, the excess water can be drained out through the overflow port. At the same time, the overflow port can be set to detect the water level inside the water tank and control the water inlet to stop the water inlet operation. Furthermore, when the electrolysis reaction occurs inside the water tank, it will produce flammable gases such as hydrogen. By setting up an overflow port, the hydrogen can be quickly drained from the water tank to the outside, ensuring the safety of the water tank itself.
[0221] Furthermore, the highly oxidizing disinfectant produced in the water tank is itself clean water, while the water in the inner tank is itself turbid water, which is mixed with a large amount of oil and dirt. At this time, it is necessary to prevent the water in the inner tank from flowing back into the water tank and causing pollution to the water in the water tank. To this end, in this embodiment, an overflow port b6 is provided on the water tank, and a through hole is provided at a position corresponding to the overflow port b6 on the inner tank. An overflow exhaust structure is provided between the overflow port and the through hole. An overflow exhaust structure is provided at a position corresponding to the overflow port b6 on the inner tank. The overflow exhaust structure is suitable for limiting the substances in the water tank b0 from flowing into the through hole from the overflow port b6 in a one-way manner.
[0222] Specifically, the through hole itself can be integrally formed on the side wall of the inner container, or can be set on the side wall of the inner container by post-processing, and the through hole itself is set in a circular shape.
[0223] In this embodiment, the overflow exhaust structure itself can be a one-way valve, or a structure that realizes one-way movement of the fluid. As a preferred embodiment, the overflow exhaust structure includes:
[0224] The water vapor inlet b616 is provided through the first side of the overflow exhaust structure; specifically, the water vapor inlet is provided on the side of the overflow exhaust structure that extends deep into the water tank;
[0225] The water retaining end cap b614 is arranged on the second side of the overflow exhaust structure and is arranged along the extension direction of the water vapor inlet b616, suitable for shielding the extension direction of the water vapor inlet b616; specifically, the water retaining end cap itself is arranged in the inner tank, and a cavity is provided between the water retaining end cap and the water vapor inlet, and
[0226] The overflow vent b611 extends through the overflow vent structure parallel to the water retaining end cap b614 and is at least partially connected to the water vapor inlet b616. By providing the overflow vent, the gas or liquid acting on the water retaining end cap can be guided so that the gas or liquid finally enters the inner tank at a predetermined angle.
[0227] In this embodiment, the liquid from the first side of the overflow exhaust structure overflows in a diffuse manner, and the liquid from the second side of the overflow exhaust structure overflows in a jet manner. After the water retaining end cap b614 blocks the extension direction of the water vapor inlet b616, an overflow exhaust port b611 is further provided on the second side of the overflow exhaust structure. The overflow exhaust port b611 is at least partially connected to the water vapor inlet b611, thereby internally penetrating the overflow exhaust structure, so that the liquid or gas entering the water vapor inlet b611 from the first side of the overflow exhaust structure can be discharged from the overflow exhaust port b611 located on the second side of the overflow exhaust structure.
[0228] In a specific implementation process, liquid or gas enters from the water vapor inlet b616 on the first side of the overflow exhaust structure, passes through the internal channel of the overflow exhaust structure, and is blocked by the water retaining end cap b614 on the second side of the overflow exhaust structure on the flow path of the liquid or gas, causing the flow to change direction, and finally the liquid or gas is discharged from the overflow exhaust port b611. If the liquid or gas from the second side of the overflow exhaust structure wants to enter the overflow exhaust structure, it must enter from the overflow exhaust port b611. The extension direction of the overflow exhaust port b611 is set at an angle to the extension direction of the water vapor inlet b616. In this embodiment, the two are set perpendicularly, so that the liquid or gas from the second side of the overflow exhaust structure cannot enter the overflow exhaust structure from a direction parallel to the extension direction of the water vapor inlet b616, thereby blocking the liquid or gas at a specific angle from the second side of the overflow exhaust structure.
[0229] In this embodiment, the overflow vent structure further includes a backflow prevention rib b62 disposed in the conductive path between the overflow port b6 and the overflow vent b611. The backflow prevention rib b62 is adapted to at least partially block the overflow port b6. This ensures that liquid or gas entering a specific angle from the second side of the overflow vent structure is not only blocked by the water retaining end cap, but also blocked again by the backflow prevention rib after a small portion of the liquid or gas enters the overflow vent, thereby reducing the risk of liquid or gas entering the overflow vent structure due to splashing.
[0230] Specifically, the backflow prevention rib b62 is provided at the lower edge of the overflow port b6, and the lowest point of the backflow prevention rib b62 in the vertical direction is higher than the lowest point of the overflow exhaust port b611. In this embodiment, the backflow prevention rib b62 is provided in parallel with the water retaining end cap b614.
[0231] Specifically, at least one notch is formed along the path where the guide rib b612 surrounds the water vapor inlet b616. By forming at least one notch along the path where the guide rib b612 surrounds the water vapor inlet b616, the notch of the guide rib b612 can be disconnected from the water retaining end cap b614, thereby facilitating the formation of the water vapor inlet b616.
[0232] Specifically, the notch of the guide rib b612 and the water retaining end cover b614 together form the overflow exhaust port b611. Figure 12 As shown, the exhaust path S2 and the overflow path S3 inside the overflow exhaust structure, exhaust and overflow both enter from the water vapor inlet b616 and are finally discharged from the overflow exhaust port b611.
[0233] In this embodiment, a spray arm is provided in the inner pot, and the bowl basket and the tableware, fruits and vegetables placed on the bowl basket are rinsed by the spray arm. At the same time, the overflow exhaust structure itself is provided with a notch. Since the inner pot itself is in the water spraying environment of the spray arm, it is very likely that the water in the spray arm will act on the overflow exhaust structure through the notch. In order to prevent the above situation from occurring, in this embodiment, the exhaust overflow direction S4 of the overflow exhaust port b611 is at an angle β1 with the horizontal plane, wherein 0°≤β1≤180°. It is preferred that 0°<β1<180°, so that the exhaust overflow direction S4 of the overflow exhaust port b611 is set as downward as possible, which facilitates overflow and reduces the entry of liquid from the second side. The optimal range is 120°<β1<150°.
[0234] With the above-mentioned arrangement, the water sprayed from the spray arm cannot directly enter the overflow exhaust structure through the gap, thereby preventing the water in the inner tank from contaminating the overflow exhaust structure.
[0235] Specifically, the dishwasher further includes:
[0236] Spray arm d1, suitable for spraying water;
[0237] The overflow exhaust structure is provided with an overflow exhaust port b611, and the angle β2 between the opening direction of the overflow exhaust port b611 and the spraying direction of the spray arm d1 is in the range of 90°≤β2≤180°.
[0238] Preferably, the spray arm d1 is at least partially disposed in the inner tank d5. In this embodiment, the spray arm d1 is located in the middle of the inner tank d5, and the water tank b0 is installed on the side wall of the inner tank d5, so that the overflow exhaust structure is also located on the side wall of the water tank b0. The spray arm d1 sprays water by rotating, and the water jet direction S1 is shown in the figure. In this embodiment, the clockwise rotation of the spray arm d1 is used as an example, that is, the high-pressure water column sprayed by the spray arm d1 is flushed in the counterclockwise direction. At this time, setting the opening direction of the overflow exhaust port b611 in a direction substantially opposite to the spray direction of the spray arm d1 can reduce the water jetted by the spray arm d1 from entering the overflow exhaust structure, thereby reducing the water jetted by the spray arm d1 from entering the water tank b0.
[0239] The dishwasher provided in this embodiment sets the opening direction of the overflow exhaust port b611 at an angle to the spray direction of the spray arm d1, with a specific value range of 90°≤β2≤180°. That is, the opening direction of the overflow exhaust port b611 and the spray direction of the spray arm d1 are set in approximately opposite directions, thereby reducing the water sprayed by the spray arm d1 from entering the overflow exhaust structure, thereby reducing the water sprayed by the spray arm d1 from entering the water tank b0.
[0240] In this embodiment, to facilitate rapid assembly and disassembly of the overflow vent structure, tooling ribs b615 are provided on the overflow vent structure. These ribs are suitable for adjusting the orientation of the overflow vent b611. Specifically, the tooling ribs are radially arranged on the overflow vent structure. The number of tooling ribs is not particularly limited. In a preferred embodiment, two tooling ribs are provided, with an angle of 120° between the tooling ribs and the overflow vent.
[0241] In this embodiment, an overflow port flange b63 is arranged around the overflow port b6, and a screw-on portion b617 is arranged on the overflow exhaust structure at a position corresponding to the overflow port flange b63; an internal thread or an external thread is arranged on the overflow port flange b63, and an external thread or an internal thread is arranged correspondingly on the screw-on portion b617.
[0242] The overflow vent structure can be installed on the water tank by cooperating with the overflow flange b63 and the screw-on portion b617. Preferably, the overflow flange b63 is located on the outside of the water tank. Alternatively, the overflow flange b63 can be located on the inside of the water tank or on both sides of the first water tank sidewall b904 along the thickness direction. Correspondingly, the screw-on portion b617 is located on the first side of the overflow vent structure, preferably circumferentially outside the water vapor inlet b616, to facilitate direct connection between the water vapor inlet b616 and the overflow port b6.
[0243] Furthermore, in order to avoid water outflow from the overflow exhaust structure, Figure 14 As shown, an overflow port sealing ring b64 is further provided between the water tank and the inner tank d5, and the overflow port sealing ring b64 is provided around the overflow port b6.
[0244] In this embodiment, in order to realize the electrolysis operation of the sodium chloride solution, an electrolysis component is separately provided in the water tank. The specific structure is as follows: the electrolysis component c0 includes:
[0245] Mounting structure;

By electrically connecting the first conductive structure to the first electrode, the second conductive structure to the second electrode, and spacing the first and second electrodes on the mounting structure, bacteria in the dishwasher can be eliminated through electrolysis, allowing dishware to be stored and preserved in the dishwasher for a long time.
[0248] In this embodiment, in order to realize the installation operation of the electrolytic component, the installation structure and electrolysis structure of the electrolytic component are arranged in the water tank chamber, and the conductive structure partially extends out of the water tank chamber b901.
[0249] Furthermore, in order to achieve conductive operation, the end of the conductive structure away from the electrode is a wiring terminal, and the wiring terminals of each conductive structure are respectively connected to a wire c4; the mounting structure includes an insulating partition, the first electrode is located on the side of the insulating partition close to the wiring terminal, and the second electrode is located on the side of the insulating partition away from the wiring terminal.

[0255] By providing the first insulating boss and the second insulating boss, the corresponding electrodes are in contact only with the corresponding conductive structures, thereby ensuring the stability of current transmission.
[0256] Specifically, the first insulating boss is integrally formed with the insulating partition, and the second insulating boss is integrally formed with the second insulating frame. As a variation, the first insulating boss and the second insulating boss can also be provided in the form of washers.
[0257] In this embodiment, the installation structure further includes:
[0258] The third insulating boss c15 is provided on the second insulating frame and extends in a direction away from the electrode. The third insulating boss is provided with a first positioning hole suitable for accommodating the second conductive structure; the fourth insulating boss c16 is provided on the second insulating frame and extends in a direction away from the electrode. The fourth insulating boss is provided with a second positioning hole connected to the second insulating cavity; the side of the fourth insulating boss facing away from the electrode is flush with the side of the third insulating boss facing away from the electrode.
[0259] In this embodiment, the mounting structure further includes at least one hook c17, which includes: a handle c171, which is provided on the second insulating frame and extends toward the first insulating frame; a hook c172, which is provided on an end of the handle away from the second insulating frame and abuts against a side of the first insulating frame facing away from the second insulating frame.
[0260] By providing the hooks, the first insulating frame, the second insulating frame, the first electrode located between the first insulating frame and the second insulating frame, the second electrode and the insulating partition can be clamped, so that the multiple components form a complete structure, thereby preventing them from scattering.
[0261] In this embodiment, the electrode is an electrolytic sheet comprising a sheet-like body and a plurality of electrolytic through-holes disposed on the sheet-like body. The provision of the electrolytic through-holes increases the contact area between the salt solution and the current, thereby increasing the reaction rate. Specifically, the electrolytic through-holes themselves are arranged in a circular pattern. The arrangement of the plurality of electrolytic through-holes is not limited and can be arranged randomly. In a preferred embodiment, the plurality of electrolytic through-holes are evenly distributed on the sheet-like body.
[0262] In this embodiment, the first electrode and the second electrode are parallel to each other. An anode reaction is performed on one of the first electrode and the second electrode, and a cathode reaction is performed on the other of the first electrode and the second electrode.
[0263] In this embodiment, the conductive structure includes: a conductive body electrically connected to the corresponding electrode; and a wire fixing structure provided at one end of the conductive body away from the electrode and used to fix the wire. The conductive body is provided to transmit electrical energy to the corresponding electrode.
[0264] Specifically, the conductive body is a bolt. The wire fixing structure includes a first nut and a second nut respectively screwed onto the bolt, and the wire is clamped between the first nut and the second nut.
[0265] In this embodiment, the wire itself can be directly wound around the conductive body. As a preferred embodiment, a mounting hole is formed at one end of the wire, and the wire is mounted on the conductive body through the mounting hole. Specifically, the mounting hole itself is a circular hole, which is mounted on a bolt to perform the conductive operation.
[0266] This embodiment further provides an electrolysis device, comprising:
[0267] The water tank body is formed with a water tank chamber b901, and a side wall of the water tank body b9 away from the terminal c301 is a first water tank side wall b904, and a side wall close to the terminal c301 is a second water tank side wall b905;
[0268] The above-mentioned electrolytic assembly, the mounting structure of the electrolytic assembly c0 and the electrolytic structure c2 are arranged in the water tank chamber b901, and the conductive structure partially extends out of the water tank chamber b901;
[0269] At least two sealing members c5 are provided between the second water tank side wall b905 and the mounting structure, and are arranged corresponding to the conductive structure.
[0270] The sealing member c5 is a sealing ring and includes a sheet-shaped sealing body c51 and a conical sealing portion c52 extending from the sealing body c51 toward the terminal c301; the sealing body c51 and the conical sealing portion c52 are integrally formed, and the sealing ring is provided with a sealing hole that sequentially passes through the conical sealing portion c52 and the sealing body c51, and the sealing hole is suitable for the conductive structure to pass through.
[0271] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to achieve stable installation of the entire electrolysis device, the following setting method is adopted:
[0272] The water tank body includes a first water tank sidewall and a second water tank sidewall disposed opposite each other, which cooperate to form a housing chamber suitable for accommodating the electrolytic assembly c0. A protective groove b9051 is provided on the side of the second housing facing away from the first housing, and a conductive opening b9052 is provided in the second housing connecting the protective groove b9051 and the housing chamber.
[0273] The protective cover c6 is installed on the first and second water tank sidewalls and has a first state in which it covers the protective groove b9051 and a second state in which it is open. The protective cover shields the conductive body within the protective groove, preventing water from entering the groove and causing a short circuit. It also prevents dust from entering the groove and contaminating the conductive body.
[0274] Specifically, one end of the protective cover c6 is a connecting end c61 rotatably connected to the second shell, and the other end is a free end c62 detachably connected to the second shell.
[0275] Through the above-described operation, the opening in the protective groove can be fully utilized. As a variation, in addition to rotating the protective cover, a pull-out protective cover can also be used. In this case, a slide can be provided on the first or second water tank sidewall, and the protective cover can be inserted into the slide. As a preferred embodiment, in this embodiment, the connection end c61 is rotatably connected to the second water tank sidewall via a foldable structure.
[0276] In this embodiment, the easily foldable structure includes an easily foldable body c71 and a first through slot c72 . The first through slot c72 is provided on the side of the easily foldable body c71 that is opposite to the notch of the protective slot b9051 .
[0277] Specifically, the first through-slot itself is configured as a semicircular groove. As a variation, it can also be configured in a triangular shape. This allows the protective cover to be switched between the first and second positions simply by flipping the protective cover about the first through-slot toward the side of the protective groove away from the connection end, or by keeping the protective cover in its natural position. This has the advantages of a simple structure and ease of implementation.
[0278] In this embodiment, the easily foldable structure further includes a second through groove c73, and the second through groove c73 is provided on the side where the notches of the easily foldable body c71 and the protective groove b9051 face the same direction.
[0279] By providing the second through slot, the rotation convenience of the protective cover itself can be further increased, avoiding the elastic force concentration at the second through slot position when the protective cover is rotated, resulting in the protective cover itself having the driving force to open.
[0280] As a convertible embodiment, the foldable structure may also be a structure made of a flexible material or an elastic material.
[0281] In this embodiment, the protective cover c6, the foldable structure and the second housing are integrally formed. As a variation, the protective cover and other structures can also be arranged on the second housing in a splicing manner.
[0282] In this embodiment, in order to achieve stability of the protective cover on the second water tank side wall, the free end c62 is detachably connected to the second water tank side wall via a snap structure.
[0283] Specifically, the buckle structure includes: a first buckle, including a first buckle body c811 provided on the groove wall of the protective groove b9051, and a slot c812 formed between the first buckle body c811 and the bottom of the groove of the give way groove c822; a first guide slope c813 is formed on the side of the first buckle body c811 facing away from the slot c812; a second buckle, including a second buckle body c821 and a give way groove c822 respectively provided on the protective cover c6, the second buckle body c821 is provided with a second guide slope c823 cooperating with the first guide slope c813, and the give way groove c822 is suitable for accommodating the first buckle body c811 when the second buckle body c821 is locked in the slot c812; the second buckle body c821 is locked in the slot c812 when the protective cover c6 is in the first state, and is disengaged from the slot c812 when the protective cover c6 is in the second state.
[0284] In this way, the protective cover can be locked and unlocked in the first state by simply inserting the second buckle body into the slot or removing it from the slot. The structure is simple, the operation is convenient, and the locking effect is stable.
[0285] In this embodiment, the bottom of the protective groove b9051 is provided with at least one recessed groove c91, and the conducting opening b9052 connects the recessed groove c91 with the accommodating cavity. The provision of the recess facilitates tightening or loosening of the first nut and the second nut, thereby improving operational convenience.
[0286] In this embodiment, a wire retaining structure is also included in the protective groove b9051. By setting the wire retaining structure, the wires led out of the electrolytic component can be guided and limited, making the wiring in the protective groove more neat and standardized.
[0287] Specifically, the wire-blocking structure is configured as a protrusion disposed on the protective groove. Its specific shape and size are not particularly limited. It acts in front of the wire's rotational path, and when the wire is subjected to an external force and rotates to the wire-blocking structure, it stops further rotation. In this embodiment, the wire-blocking protrusion c92 is disposed near the sinking groove c91. As a variation, it can also be disposed appropriately away from the groove, as long as the wire blocking action can be achieved. This is not particularly limited in this embodiment.
[0288] In this embodiment, it also includes:
[0289] A water cup d4 is disposed in the inner container d5;
[0290] The water tank b0 is provided with a water outlet b8 , and the plane where the water outlet b8 is located is higher than the upper surface of the water cup d4 .
[0291] The plane where the water tank outlet b8 is located is higher than the upper surface of the water cup d4, so that there is a position difference between the plane where the water tank outlet b8 is located and the upper surface of the water cup d4, so that the disinfectant in the water tank b0 can flow into the water cup d4 only under the action of gravity. In addition, by utilizing the communicating vessel principle, it can be ensured that all the disinfectant in the water tank b0 flows into the water cup d4, making it convenient to dilute the disinfectant in the water cup d4 according to the preset volume of water, thereby avoiding the problem of inaccurate concentration of the effective ingredients of the disinfectant.
[0292] like Figure 22 As shown, the height difference between the plane where the water outlet b8 of the water tank is located and the upper surface of the water cup d4 is H, where H>0 cm.
[0293] As a specific implementation form, the volume of the water tank b0 is designed to be 1.1L, and the required water storage capacity is 1L. The electrolysis device in the water tank b0 produces an electrolytic disinfectant with an effective chlorine content of 750mg / L. After all the disinfectant in the water tank b0 flows into the water cup d4, 2L of pure water is added to the water cup d4, so that the water cup d4 has 3L of electrolytic disinfectant with a concentration of 250mg / L. By reasonably setting the volume of the water tank b0 and flowing all the disinfectant in the water tank b0 into the water cup d4, it is ensured that after the preset volume of pure water is added to the water tank b0, a disinfectant with an accurate volume and accurate effective ingredient concentration can be obtained, which facilitates the disinfection of the items to be disinfected.
[0294] Specifically, a drain valve d43 is provided on the drain pipe d42. This valve d43 is configured to control the opening and closing of the drain pipe d42, ensuring that it remains open as needed. The valve d43 is normally closed. In disinfection mode, the electrolysis device within the water tank b0 operates to produce a disinfectant solution of the desired concentration. When the valve d43 is opened from its normally closed state, the disinfectant solution in the tank flows under gravity into the water cup d4, performing the cleaning and disinfection process.
[0295] Specifically, the capacity of the water tank b0 is smaller than or equal to the capacity of the water cup d4. By designing the capacity of the water tank b0 to be smaller than or equal to the capacity of the water cup d4, the disinfectant in the water tank b0 will not overflow when it flows completely into the water cup d4.
[0296] Specifically, a flow meter is provided in the water tank. The flow meter is provided at the water inlet of the water tank and is used to measure the flow of water flowing into the water tank.
[0297] Specifically, the dishwasher further includes a water softener outlet pipe f1 , one end of which is connected to the water tank inlet b7 of the water tank b0 and the water cup inlet of the water cup d4 through a three-way valve d44 .
[0298] Specifically, the other end of the water softener outlet pipe f1 is adapted to be connected to the water outlet end of the water softener f.
[0299] The water softener f is designed to soften water entering the dishwasher. It is connected to the water tank b0 and the water cup d4 via a three-way valve d44, respectively, allowing the softened water to flow into the water tank b0 or the water cup d4 as needed. The three-way valve d44 has a one-inlet, two-outlet structure: when one outlet is open, the other is closed, and neither outlet is open simultaneously. In wash mode, the three-way valve connects to the water cup inlet, allowing water to flow into the water cup d4. In disinfection mode, the three-way valve connects to the water tank inlet b7, allowing water to flow into the water tank b0.
[0300] Specifically, the water tank outlet b8 of the water tank b0 is arranged at the lowest point of the bottom of the water tank b0. By arranging the water tank outlet b8 at the lowest point of the bottom of the water tank b0, the disinfectant in the water tank b0 can be completely discharged to avoid residue.
[0301] The dishwasher provided in this embodiment further includes: a breather, on which is provided a breather water inlet pipe, the breather water inlet pipe being connected to a water source via a water inlet solenoid valve; a water softener, which is connected to the breather, and on which is provided a water softener water outlet pipe; a three-way valve, which is connected to the water softener outlet pipe, and the water outlet ends of the three-way valve are respectively connected to the water tank and the water cup.
[0302] By setting a three-way valve, the water flowing out of the water softener can be introduced into the water tank for electrolysis operation, or passed into the inner tank for rinsing tableware, thereby achieving cleaning and disinfection of the tableware in the inner tank.
[0303] The dishwasher provided in this embodiment operates as follows: The respirator e is connected to an external water source via a respirator water inlet pipe e1. This external water source can be a water tank or a tap. A water inlet solenoid valve e2 is installed on the respirator water inlet pipe e1. By controlling the on / off state of the water inlet solenoid valve e2, the flow of water into the respirator e is controlled. After entering the respirator e, the water flows further into the water softener f. After softening, the water flows into the softener water outlet pipe f1 and further into the three-way valve. From the three-way valve's outlet, the water can enter a water cup d4 or a water tank. The water in the water cup d4 then cleans the dishes in the inner container. Water entering the water tank first flows into the water tank through the water inlet b7, then into the water channel b5 and out through the drain outlet b501 of water channel b5. The water flowing out of the drain outlet further falls into the dispenser's trough a1, dissolving the solid sodium chloride in trough a1. The sodium chloride-water mixture flows out of the trough opening and the flow hole a103, then flows through the second rib b2 and the first rib b1, before entering the pot mouth. As the amount of water increases, the water level inside the water tank gradually increases, gradually submerging the electrolytic component c0. When the current concentration in the solution inside the water tank exceeds a predetermined value, the electrolytic component c0 begins electrolysis, forming a highly oxidizing disinfectant. When washing the inner tank, the disinfectant is discharged through the drain pipe d42 into the water cup d4, thereby disinfecting the tableware. At the same time, during the preparation of the disinfectant, the gas generated inside the water tank and the disinfectant will flow out into the inner tank through the overflow port b6.
[0304] After the inner tank is disinfected, the disinfectant can be stopped and clean water can be added to the inner tank for rinsing, thereby transferring the residual disinfectant to the outside of the dishwasher. At this time, the fan on the inner tank can be further started to transfer the water vapor in the inner tank to the outside.
[0305] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clarity of explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that other variations or modifications based on the above descriptions are possible. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all implementation methods here. Obvious variations or modifications arising therefrom remain within the scope of protection of the present invention.
