Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of dishwasher equipment, and in particular to a modular energy-compensated dishwasher and a method of using the same. Background Art

[0002] The dishwasher washes dishes mainly by setting a vibrator at the bottom of the sink, and using the energy of the vibrator to transmit upward, causing ultrasonic waves to be transmitted upward. When the ultrasonic wave passes through the liquid, it compresses the medium to vibrate at an extremely high frequency, causing the liquid molecules to produce shock waves. When the intensity of the ultrasonic wave reaches a certain value, the tiny air in the liquid will turn into bubbles and then close instantly. The strong micro-explosions and shock waves generated in this way destroy the stains on the surface of the tableware, causing them to fall off naturally, thereby completing the function of cleaning the tableware.

[0003] However, conventional dishwasher vibrators are typically located at the bottom of the sink. Due to the limited penetration of ultrasound, the energy of the ultrasound gradually weakens as it travels from the bottom to the top of the sink, resulting in a reduced cleaning effect. Furthermore, there are no existing dishwasher systems that can compensate for this energy loss and adjust the energy compensation range based on the height of the dishes in the sink, thereby achieving a fully clean dishwashing experience while also conserving electricity.

[0032] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Terms such as "upper," "inner," "middle," "left," "right," and "one" used in this specification are for ease of description and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Changes or adjustments to these terms, without substantially altering the technical content, are also considered within the scope of the present invention.

[0033] Before introducing the structure of the dishwasher of the present invention, the vibrator 5 is introduced. The vibrator 5 is also called an ultrasonic transducer. The vibrator 5 has corresponding positive connection points and negative connection points. The multiple vibrators 5 used in the dishwasher are usually arranged in an array, and then the positive connection points of adjacent vibrators 5 are electrically connected, and the negative connection points are electrically connected. Then, the positive and negative poles of the vibrator 5 at the end are respectively connected to the positive and negative poles of the power supply, thereby realizing the parallel connection of multiple vibrators 5 and improving the working effect of the vibrator 5.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, a modular energy-compensated dishwasher comprises a dishwasher 1 with a vibration transmission component (not shown) provided at the bottom, and a plurality of vibration transmission modules 2 connected to each other in the height direction are provided on the side of the dishwasher 1, the vibration transmission module 2 comprises a strip-shaped shell, and a plurality of vibrators 5 arranged along the length direction of the strip-shaped shell are provided in the strip-shaped shell, and the vibration transmission direction of the vibrator 5 when working is arranged horizontally toward the dishwasher 1, the energized positive poles of adjacent vibrators 5 are electrically connected through a line, and the energized negative poles of adjacent vibrators 5 are electrically connected through a line, and the strip-shaped shell is provided with energized docking parts on both sides perpendicular to its length direction, and the energized docking parts are provided with two conductive rods 39, and the positive and negative poles of the two vibrators 5 at both ends of the strip-shaped shell along its length direction are respectively connected to the two conductive rods 39 through lines; the energized docking parts of adjacent vibration transmission modules 2 are opposite to each other, and the electrical polarity of the vibrators 5 connected to the two conductive rods 39 in the adjacent energized docking parts is the same.

[0035] Specifically, the present invention aims to provide a structure that can compensate for energy loss in a dishwasher, while also adjusting the energy compensation range based on the height of the dishes placed in the sink, thereby achieving a fully clean dishwashing experience and conserving electricity. Multiple vibration transmission modules 2 are stacked on the inner wall of a sink 1, until they are stacked to a height just above the placed dishes. This allows for adjustable height ranges of the lateral vibrators 5. Furthermore, during the docking process of adjacent vibration transmission modules 2, two conductive rods 39 connected to the positive and negative poles of the end vibrators 5 are provided via an electrically powered docking member. When docking the upper and lower vibration transmission modules 2, the upper two electrically powered docking members are aligned, and the electrical polarity of the two conductive rods 39 connected to the vibrators 5 in the two electrically powered docking members is aligned, ensuring that the modules remain in parallel connection after docking. Thus, by adjusting the number of stacked vibration transmission modules 2, the lateral energy compensation range of the vibrators 5 can be adjusted. This also saves energy compared to the prior art method of activating all vibrators 5 simultaneously.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in order to achieve the function of positional versatility when connecting adjacent vibration transmission modules 2 above and below through powered docking fittings, thereby achieving the purpose of simplified docking operation, the strip housing includes a rectangular box body 21. The inner bottom surface of the rectangular box body 21 is provided with a plurality of recessed slots 22 along the length direction for inserting the vibrator 5. The opening of the rectangular box body 21 is connected to the strip cover 23 via screws. The strip cover 23 has a plurality of mating slots 24 along the end surface facing the rectangular box body 21 for inserting the vibrator 5. This ensures stable installation of the vibrator 5 and facilitates internal connection of the corresponding circuits through the strip cover 23. The opening of the rectangular box body 21 is horizontally facing the dishwasher 1. The number of powered docking fittings in each vibration transmission module 2 is four. The four powered docking fittings are equally distributed on both sides of the strip housing along a direction perpendicular to the length of the strip housing, and the two powered docking fittings on the same side are distributed at both ends of the strip housing along the length direction. Since the four powered docking parts are distributed at the four edges of the rectangular box body 21 and are distributed in pairs on the upper and lower planes, during the stacking and docking process, one of the powered docking parts at the end can be selected to connect with the powered abutment parts of the upper and lower adjacent vibration transmission modules 2, thereby achieving the purpose of convenient connection.

[0037] Since the upper and lower adjacent vibration transmission modules 2 are connected through the energized docking parts, sometimes the polarities of the vibrators 5 connected to the conductive rods 39 facing each other are different, it is necessary to connect them through a bypass line or adjust the installation position, which complicates the installation operation. In order to solve this problem: the powered docking piece includes a rotating body 3 rotatably connected to the bar shell, the rotating body 3 is embedded in the bar shell on one side close to the bar shell, and the end face of the rotating body 3 away from the bar shell is penetrated by two wire holes 31, and the two conductive rods 39 are respectively plugged into one end of the two wire holes 31 located in the bar shell; the conductive rods 39 do not protrude from the end face of the rotating body 3 away from the bar shell, and the openings of the wire holes 31 are provided with a through-closing component; when the vibration transmission module 2 is arranged above the other vibration transmission module 2, the adjacent powered docking pieces in the upper and lower vibration transmission modules 2 are facing each other, and one of the rotating bodies 3 is rotated until the two conductive rods 39 of the rotating body 3 are facing the two conductive rods 39 of the other rotating body 3, and a connecting piece is connected between the conductive rods 39 facing each other. After the connecting piece opens the through-closing component, it is electrically connected to the conductive rod 39, and the vibrators 5 corresponding to the two conductive rods 39 facing each other have the same electrical polarity. Therefore, by providing the rotating body 3, the opposing positions of the conductive rods 39 in the mutually opposing energized docking parts can be adjusted by rotation, thereby achieving the effect of simple position adjustment operation.

[0038] The opening and closing assembly of the present invention is used to open and close the wire hole 31 to reduce the risk of external impurities or moisture entering the wire hole 31 and contaminating the interior of the strip housing. To this end, in order to disclose the structure of the opening and closing assembly and thereby achieve the function of opening and closing the wire hole 31, the opening and closing assembly includes a straight groove 33 formed on the inner wall of the opening of the wire hole 31. A compression spring 36 is disposed within the straight groove 33. One end of the compression spring 36 is connected to the inner wall of the straight groove 33, and the other end of the compression spring 36 is connected to a limiting rod 37. The limiting rod 37 is provided with an inclined surface 371 on the side facing away from the compression spring 36 and toward the opening of the wire hole 31. The inclined surface 371 is inclined toward the side facing away from the end of the compression spring 36 and toward the conductive rod 39. When the compression spring 36 is reset, the end face of the limiting rod 37 facing away from the compression spring 36 abuts against the inner wall of the opening of the wire hole 31, away from the straight groove 33. Therefore, due to the inclined guiding effect of the inclined surface 371 of the limiting rod 37, when the connecting piece is inserted into the wire hole 31, the limiting block will move into the straight groove 33 and squeeze the compression spring 36, thereby achieving the effect of opening the wire hole 31.

[0039] In order to achieve the function of the connecting piece being inserted into the wiring hole and electrically connecting it to the conductive rod 39 inside, the connecting piece includes a connecting block 4, and two connecting rods 41 are fixed to the flat surface of the connecting block 4. The two ends of the connecting rods 41 protrude from the two flat surfaces of the connecting block 4, and the two connecting rods 41 correspond to the two wire holes 31 respectively; when the connecting rod 41 is inserted into the wire hole 31, the connecting rod 41 pushes the inclined surface 371 of the limiting rod 37, and the limiting rod 37 moves into the straight groove 33 and squeezes the compression spring 36 until the connecting rod 41 is abutted against the conductive rod 39.

[0040] Because the connecting rod 41 needs to generate a certain amount of pressure to achieve electrical conduction when inserted into the wire hole 31, the position improves the effectiveness of electrical conduction. The inner wall of the wire hole 31 near the inner side of the strip shell is integrally connected to a shrinking ring 311. The conductive rod 39 is interference-fitted with the shrinking ring 311. The end of the conductive rod 39 near the closing assembly is connected to a pressing spring 38. The end of the pressing spring 38 near the conductive rod 39 abuts the end face of the shrinking ring 311 near the wire hole 31. The end of the pressing spring 38 away from the conductive rod 39 is connected to a conductive block 381. The conductive block 381 abuts the limiting rod 37 through the pressing spring 38. Therefore, by providing the pressing spring 38, the elastic reset ability of the spring is utilized to make the conductive block 381 fully abut against the connecting wire, thereby achieving the beneficial effect of improving the effectiveness of electrical conduction.

[0041] In order to reduce the possibility of the pressing spring 38 pushing the connecting rod 41 out of the wire hole 31 via the conductive block 381, thereby improving the installation stability of the wire hole 31, the connecting rod 41 is made of metal material. A slot 34 is formed in the inner wall of the wire hole 31 away from the straight groove 33. A magnet 341 is inserted into the slot 34. The magnet 341 faces the side of the straight groove 33 and is coplanar with the inner wall of the wire hole 31. When the connecting rod 41 is inserted into the wire hole 31 until the limiting rod 37 is received in the straight groove 33 and the connecting rod 41 abuts and electrically connects with the conductive rod 39, the connecting rod 41 is magnetically connected to the magnet 341.

[0042] Reference Figures 1 to 9 As shown, in order to facilitate the rotation of the rotating body 3 so that the rotating body 3 remains relatively stable and thus achieves the effect of improving stability, a circular groove 25 is provided on the surface of the bar shell, the rotation point of the rotating body 3 is located on the inner bottom surface of the circular groove 25, and there is a gap between the outer circumference of the rotating body 3 and the inner circumference of the circular groove 25. Metal blocks 35 are fixedly connected to the opposite sides of the outer circumference of the rotating body 3, and a magnetic limit block is fixedly connected to the inner circumference of the circular groove 25 between the two metal blocks 35. The metal block 35 is circumferentially opposite to the magnetic limit block with respect to the axis of the rotating body 3; a polarity mark 30 is provided on the end face of the rotating body 3 away from the bar shell and adjacent to the wire hole 31. The polarity mark 30 is consistent with the polarity of the connection position of the vibrator 5 connected to the wire hole 31.

[0043] In order to facilitate the installation of the vibration transmission module 2 and to facilitate the power supply to the vibration transmission module 2, two mutually opposed spacers are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sink 1. The spacers extend in the height direction and face each other to form a mounting groove 12 for inserting the bar-shaped housing. A power connection box 13 is provided on the side of the sink 1. The power connection box 13 is provided with a power switch 14, a positive terminal 15, and a negative terminal 16.

[0044] A method for using a modular energy-compensated dishwasher comprises the following steps:

[0045] Tableware placement process: Place the dishes to be washed in the dishwashing compartment of the sink 1 to reduce the stacking of adjacent dishes;

[0046] Installation process of the vibration transmission module 2: Then, according to the height of the placed tableware, multiple vibration transmission modules 2 are stacked in the installation groove 12, so that the stacking height of the vibration transmission modules 2 is higher than the height of the placed tableware; in the process of stacking the vibration transmission modules 2, the rotating body 3 is rotated until one of its metal blocks 35 is magnetically fixed to the magnetic limit block, and then the connecting piece is inserted into the openings of the two wire holes 31 of one of the power-carrying docking pieces set upward, so that the two power connecting rods 41 are electrically connected to the two conductive rods in the two wire holes 31 respectively; then the rotation angle of the rotating body 3 at the bottom of the vibration transmission module 2 located above and facing the connecting piece is adjusted, so that the bottom of the vibration transmission module 2 located above is opposite to the connecting piece. The polarity marks 30 corresponding to the wiring holes of the upper rotating body 3 and the polarity marks 30 of the wiring holes of the lower rotating body 3 are aligned with each other and are consistent. The two wiring holes of the rotating body 3 of the upper vibration transmission module 2 are further connected with the two power connection rods 41 of the rotating body 3 of the lower rotating body 3 to realize the electrical parallel connection of the multiple vibrators 5 of the upper and lower vibration transmission modules 2. Then, when stacking the next vibration transmission module 2, the connecting parts are connected to the two wiring holes 31 of the rotating body 3 at the top of the previous vibration transmission module 2, which are diagonally opposite to the previous electrically connected position. The stacking operation is completed in this way.

[0047] Tableware cleaning process: Before the water adding and washing process, insert the connecting piece into the two wire holes 31 of the rotating body 3 at the top of the vibration transmission module 2, which is in a diagonal relationship with its previous electrical docking position, so that the two power connecting rods 41 of the connecting piece are respectively plugged into the two wire connecting holes 31. After connecting the two ends of the two power connecting rods 41 away from the vibration transmission module 2 through two docking wires, the ends of the two docking wires are respectively connected to the positive electrode interface 15 and the negative electrode interface 16 of the power docking box 13 with corresponding polarity; then pour clean water into the dishwashing sink 1, turn on the power of the power docking box 13 for cleaning.

[0048] Specifically, the method of use of the present invention consists of three steps: placing the dishes, installing the vibration module 2, and cleaning the dishes. The dishware placement step involves placing the dishes to be washed in the sink 1 for easy cleaning, and allowing the approximate height of the dishes to be cleaned to be known in advance. The vibration module 2 installation step involves stacking multiple modules 2 in a vertical direction, simultaneously connecting the upper and lower powered vibrators 5 in parallel. The dishware cleaning step involves soaking the dishes in water, then turning on the power switch to activate the vibrator 5 and using its ultrasonic wave to clean the surface of the dishes.

[0049] The embodiments of the present invention are not limited to these. According to the above contents of the present invention, by utilizing common technical knowledge and customary means in this field, without departing from the above basic technical ideas of the present invention, the present invention can also make other various forms of modification, replacement or combination, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
