Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dishwashers, and in particular to an impeller structure and a double pump system and a washing machine using the impeller structure. Background Art

[0002] For desktop and cabinet dishwashers, since the washing space is large, in order to achieve a better washing effect, they are generally designed with three spray arms: top, middle and lower. When working, the washing pump transports water to the top, middle and lower spray arms through pipes. The water is sprayed out from the top, middle and lower spray arms and rinses the dishes before falling back into the water cup at the bottom of the dishwasher. The washing pump transports the fallen water to the top, middle and lower spray arms again to complete a cycle.

[0003] For example, the Chinese invention patent application "Energy-saving dishwasher" (application number: CN201611232345.5) with application publication number CN106859563A discloses a structure, which includes a cavity for accommodating tableware and providing a cleaning space, a spray system for spraying water to clean the tableware, and a pump body for pumping water and supplying water to the spray system; the spray system is arranged in the cavity; the water pumping end of the pump body is connected to the cavity, and the water supply end is connected to the spray system; the spray system includes an inner water pipe and two or more spray devices, and the two or more spray devices are respectively arranged on the inner water pipe; the water supply end of the pump body is connected to a water distribution device, and the water distribution device is provided with two or more water outlets corresponding to the two or more spray devices, and the spray device is connected to the corresponding water outlets; when working, the water distribution device conducts one or more water outlets according to instructions, so that one or more spray devices perform cleaning work.

[0004] In the above-mentioned existing dishwashers capable of bottom spraying and top spraying, the pump used to supply water to the spray system generally adopts a closed structure, that is, the volute of the washing pump is arranged below the housing, a rotatable impeller is arranged inside the volute, the water inlet of the washing pump volute is connected to the bottom of the washing chamber, and the water outlet of the volute is connected to a water diversion device, which divides the water flow into a first branch for supplying water to the bottom spray arm and a second branch for supplying water to the top spray arm. Since the water pressure of the water for top spraying and the water for bottom spraying are independently supplied by the washing pump, the head, flow rate and impact force of the water flow on each branch after diversion are greatly reduced, affecting the cleaning effect; at the same time, the closed volute fixed below the housing is difficult to disassemble and clean, and after long-term use, it will breed bacteria due to the accumulation of residues, which not only affects the washing effect but also causes a bad experience for users.

[0005] In addition, the structure of the impeller in the volute directly determines the water supply capacity of the pump, and the impeller in the prior art is relatively mature, and the water head and flow rate cannot be increased without changing the volute structure. Summary of the invention

[0006] The first technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide an impeller structure which is beneficial to improving the head and water flow of water flow and thus improving the cleaning effect in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0007] The second technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a dual pump system with the above-mentioned impeller structure in view of the current status of the prior art. The dual pump system provides power for two washing water routes separately to increase the head and water flow rate and thus improve the cleaning effect.

[0008] The third technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a dual pump system which adopts an open volute to facilitate disassembly, assembly and cleaning in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0009] The fourth technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a cleaning machine having the above-mentioned dual pump system in view of the current status of the prior art.

[0010] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve at least one of the above-mentioned technical problems is: an impeller structure, having a shaft located in the center and a plurality of blades distributed circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the shaft, and a cover plate located on the top of the blade is also provided on the outer peripheral wall of the shaft, and the lower wall surface of the cover plate is smoothly transitioned to the blade, and the diameter of the cover plate is smaller than the diameter of the blade.

[0011] Preferably, the outer peripheral wall of the shaft below the cover plate at least partially extends radially outward from bottom to top to form an arc surface, and the upper end of the arc surface is smoothly connected to the lower wall surface of the cover plate. After being assembled into the dual pump system, the arc surface just corresponds to the arrangement of the water inlet, which is conducive to quickly dispersing the incoming water along the circumferential direction and reducing energy loss during the dispersion process.

[0012] In the present invention, the arc radius of the arc surface is R1, the blade height is H, R1:H=(0.8-1.8):1. The blade height is 8.5-9.5 mm, and the arc radius of the arc surface is 10-15 mm. The diameter of the blade is D, and the diameter of the cover plate is d, d=(0.4-0.85)D. The diameter of the blade is 45-58 mm, and the diameter of the cover plate is 28-42 mm. Since the impeller structure of the present invention is used to provide power for the water flow of the top spray and / or the middle spray in the dishwasher, the parameters of the impeller structure directly determine the water flow and head of the water. By using the above parameters, through experimental verification, numerical simulation and combining with the use environment in the box-type dishwasher, an ideal effect is obtained, so that the upper spray has a higher cleaning effect.

[0013] Preferably, the blade includes a first portion arranged corresponding to the cover plate and a second portion located outside the cover plate, the first portion extends in the radial direction of the shaft, and the second portion extends outward from the edge of the cover plate in the rotation direction of the shaft. Further preferably, from a top view, the length of the first portion is L1, the length of the second portion is L2, L2 = K (L1 + L2), K = 0.4 to 0.5. The acute angle between the first portion and the second portion is The above structure is adopted to improve the work done on water, thereby increasing the head and water flow of the upper layer spraying water.

[0014] Preferably, the number of blades is 6 to 10, more preferably 8. When the number of blades is small, less work is done on the fluid per unit time, and the pump head and flow rate in the dishwasher often fail to meet the standards; but when the number of blades reaches a certain number, further increasing the number of blades will only increase the lift and flow rate to a limited extent, and the lift and flow rate will decrease due to the increase in the space occupied by the impeller flow channel caused by the increase in the number of blades. By using the above parameters, the ideal lift and water flow rate can be obtained within an appropriate number.

The diameter of the third water inlet is larger than the inner diameter of the second accommodating chamber, and the inner diameter of the upper part of the lower shell body gradually expands near the upper end of the second accommodating chamber to form a guide portion that can smoothly transition and connect with the inner bottom wall of the first accommodating chamber.

[0044] The present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] The dual pump system of this embodiment can be applied to a larger dishwasher to supply water for the bottom spray, the top spray and / or the middle spray, but the dual pump system of this embodiment is not limited to this use environment.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the dual pump system of this embodiment includes an upper impeller 1, an impeller structure 2, an upper casing 3, a lower casing 4 and a driving member 5.

[0047] The upper impeller 1 has a first shaft 11 located in the center and a plurality of first blades 12 distributed circumferentially and extending axially on the circumference of the first shaft 11. The upper portion of the first blade 12 is a centrifugal blade and the lower portion is an axial flow blade.

[0048] The upper shell 3 has a main body extending in the length direction, and the central part of the main body has a first accommodating cavity 31 for installing the upper part of the first blade 12. The two sides of the main body respectively have flow channels connected to the first accommodating cavity 31, and the top wall of the upper shell 3 is provided with a spray hole 32 connected to the flow channel.

[0049] The lower shell 4 is connected to the bottom of the upper shell 3, and the upper part of the lower shell 4 has a second accommodating chamber 41 for installing the lower part of the first blade 12, and the side wall of the lower shell 4 is provided with a first water inlet 411 for supplying water into the second accommodating chamber 41; the lower part of the lower shell 4 has a third accommodating chamber 42 for installing the impeller structure 2, and the bottom wall of the lower shell 4 is provided with a second water inlet 421 for supplying water into the third accommodating chamber 42, and the side wall is provided with a water outlet 422 for supplying water from the third accommodating chamber 42.

[0050] The driving member 5 is a motor, which is arranged below the lower shell 4 and the output shaft 51 is arranged upward. The output shaft 51 passes through the lower shell 4 from bottom to top and extends into the first accommodating cavity 31 of the upper shell 3 and is respectively connected to the impeller structure 2 and the upper impeller 1, so as to drive the upper impeller 1 and the impeller structure 2 to rotate.

[0051] Specifically, Figure 3 , 6 As shown, a partition plate 43 for separating the second accommodating chamber 41 and the third accommodating chamber 42 into relatively independent chambers is provided in the middle of the lower shell 4. The second accommodating chamber 41 and the third accommodating chamber 42 are relatively independent, so that water can be supplied to the lower spray through the upper impeller 1 and to the top and / or middle spray through the impeller structure 2, respectively, so as to reduce fluid disturbance between each other, reduce capacity loss, and improve water head, water flow and injection strength.

[0052] The third accommodating chamber 42 is located below the partition 43 and is roughly disc-shaped. The second water inlet 421 is opened at the center of the bottom wall of the lower shell 4. The water outlet 422 is tangentially connected to the third accommodating chamber 42 through a guide pipe 423. This structure is beneficial to reducing the capacity loss of the third accommodating chamber 42 to output water flow.

[0053] The second accommodating chamber 41 is located above the partition 43 and extends vertically. The inner diameter of the second accommodating chamber 41 is smaller than the inner diameter of the third accommodating chamber 42 and is adapted to the lower part of the first blade 12. This structure is conducive to reducing the energy loss of water flow when flowing through the second accommodating chamber 41.

[0054] like Figure 4 , 5 6, a transversely extending ∩-shaped enclosure 431 is provided on the top wall of the partition 43, and the enclosure 431 and the partition 43 together enclose a water inlet channel 432 connected to the second accommodating chamber 41, and the outer end of the water inlet channel 432 constitutes the first water inlet 411. Such a structure is not only convenient for production, but also the water inlet channel 432 is placed at the bottom of the second accommodating chamber 41, which is conducive to reducing water flow disturbance and further reducing the capacity loss of water flow when flowing through the second accommodating chamber 42.

[0055] In order to facilitate assembly, a support plate 44 extending in the radial direction is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the upper part of the lower shell 4, and the upper shell 3 is constrained on the support plate 44. A clamping ring 441 is provided on the upper wall surface of the support plate 44, and a clamping foot 33 that can be rotatably arranged through the clamping ring 441 and is clamped and limited with the bottom wall of the clamping ring 441 is provided on the bottom wall of the upper shell 3, so that the upper shell 3 is detachably connected to the top of the lower shell 4.

[0056] like Figure 3 As shown, a third water inlet 34 corresponding to the first accommodating chamber 31 is provided on the bottom wall of the upper shell 3, and the third water inlet 34 is connected to the upper end of the second accommodating chamber 41. The diameter of the third water inlet 34 is larger than the inner diameter of the second accommodating chamber 41, and the inner diameter of the upper part of the lower shell 4 is gradually enlarged near the upper end of the second accommodating chamber 41 to form a guide portion 412 that can smoothly transition and connect with the inner bottom wall of the first accommodating chamber 31. This structure is conducive to reducing the energy loss of water flow in the process of entering the first accommodating chamber 31 from the second accommodating chamber 41. The outer edge of the guide portion 412 is arranged near the inner edge of the third water inlet 34, and a baffle 413 extending radially and supported on the bottom wall of the upper shell 3 is provided on the outer peripheral wall of the guide portion 412, and the outer edge of the baffle 413 is arranged corresponding to the inner edge of the clamping foot 33. This structure is conducive to improving the sealing performance at the third water inlet 34, and avoiding water leakage and affecting the head of the bottom spray.

[0057] The output shaft 51 of this embodiment is radially limited with the upper impeller 1 and the impeller structure 2 respectively, and a nut is provided at the upper end of the output shaft 51 to prevent the upper impeller 1 from axially moving along the output shaft 51. The above structure is convenient for disassembly and assembly. After the upper housing 3 is removed from the clamping ring 441, the nut is screwed off to remove the upper impeller 1, and the upper cavity of the upper housing 3, the upper impeller 1 and the lower housing 4 is cleaned to avoid bacterial growth and improve the cleaning effect.

[0058] In this embodiment, if Figure 7 As shown, the cleaning machine using the above-mentioned dual pump system includes a box body 6 and a water supply pipe 7 that can transport water from the bottom of the box body 6 upwards. The lower shell 4 is constrained on the inner bottom wall of the box body 6 and the water outlet 422 is connected to the lower end of the water supply pipe 7. The water supply pipe 7 has a relatively independent first branch pipe 71 and a second branch pipe 72. The first branch pipe 71 is used to transport water to the middle of the box body, and the second branch pipe 72 is used to transport water to the top of the box body. With such a structure, spraying of the lower, middle and top layers can be achieved, which is conducive to improving the cleaning effect.

[0059] The bottom of the box body 6 is also provided with a water diverter valve 8 for controlling the circulation of the first branch pipe 71 and the second branch pipe 72. The water inlet of the water diverter valve 8 is connected to the water outlet 422 of the lower shell 4, the first water outlet of the water diverter valve 8 is connected to the input end of the first branch pipe 71, and the second water outlet of the water diverter valve 8 is connected to the input end of the second branch pipe 72. This structure is convenient for controlling the use status of the middle layer and the top layer spraying as needed. For example, the first branch pipe 71 can be closed and the second branch pipe 72 can be opened to spray only the top layer; the first branch pipe 71 can also be opened and the second branch pipe 72 can be closed to spray only the middle layer to meet more use needs.

[0060] When in use, the output shaft 51 of the driving member 5 rotates, driving the upper impeller 1 and the impeller structure 2 to rotate, and the axial flow blades at the lower part of the first blade 12 suck water from the first water inlet 411 into the second accommodating chamber 41 and transport it upward to the first accommodating chamber 31. The water in the first accommodating chamber 31 is sprayed out through the spray hole 32 under the action of the upper part of the first blade 12; the second blade 22 sucks water from the second water inlet 421 into the third accommodating chamber 42, and transports it to the water supply pipe 7 through the water outlet 422 along the guide pipe 423 in the circumferential direction, and the water supply pipe 7 transports the water flow upward for top and / or middle spraying.

[0061] In this embodiment, if Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the impeller structure 2 has a shaft 21 located in the center and a plurality of blades 22 distributed circumferentially on the outer peripheral wall of the shaft 21. A cover plate 23 located on the top of the blades 22 is also provided on the outer peripheral wall of the shaft 21. The lower wall surface of the cover plate 23 is smoothly connected to the blades 22, and the diameter of the cover plate 23 is smaller than the diameter of the blades 22.

[0062] The outer peripheral wall of the shaft 21 located below the cover plate 23 partially or completely extends radially outward from bottom to top to form a curved surface 211, and the upper end of the curved surface 211 is smoothly connected to the lower wall of the cover plate 23. After being assembled into the dual pump system, the curved surface 211 is arranged exactly corresponding to the second water inlet 421, which is conducive to quickly dispersing the incoming water along the circumferential direction and reducing energy loss during the dispersion process.

[0063] The arc radius of the arc surface 211 is R1, the height of the blade 22 is H, R1:H=(0.8~1.8):1; the height of the blade 22 is 8.5~9.5mm, and the arc radius of the arc surface 211 is 10~15mm. The diameter of the blade 22 is D, and the diameter of the cover plate 23 is d, d=(0.4~0.85)D; the diameter of the blade 22 is 45~58mm, and the diameter of the cover plate 23 is 28~42mm. Since the impeller structure 2 of this embodiment is used to provide power for the water flow of the top spray and / or the middle spray in the dishwasher, the parameters of the impeller structure 2 directly determine the water flow and head of the water. By using the above parameters, after experimental verification, numerical simulation and combining with the use environment in the box-type dishwasher, an ideal effect is obtained, so that the upper spray has a higher cleaning effect.

[0064] The blade 22 includes a first portion 221 arranged corresponding to the cover plate 23 and a second portion 222 located outside the cover plate 23. The first portion 221 extends along the radial direction of the shaft 21, and the second portion 222 extends outward from the edge of the cover plate 23 along the rotation direction of the shaft 21. From a top view, the length of the first portion 221 is L1, and the length of the second portion 222 is L2, L2 = K (L1 + L2), K = 0.4 to 0.5. The acute angle between the first portion 221 and the second portion 222 is The best value is 30°. The above structure is helpful to improve the work done on water, thereby increasing the head and water flow of the upper layer spray water.

[0065] The number of the blades 22 is 6 to 10, and the best number is 8. When the number of blades 22 is small, less work is done on the fluid per unit time, and the pump head and flow rate of the dishwasher often fail to meet the standards; but when the number of blades 22 reaches a certain number, further increasing the number of blades 22 will only increase the lift and flow rate to a limited extent, and the lift and flow rate will decrease due to the increase in the space occupied by the impeller flow channel caused by the increase in the number of blades 22. By using the above parameters, the ideal lift and water flow rate can be obtained within an appropriate number.
